The word ego is common in our everyday language, although it’s usually used to refer to someone’s self-importance, pride, or arrogance, as when we say that such and such has a “big ego.” Psychologists also speak of a “healthy ego” when an individual seems to be a well-adjusted, productive member of society. But the ego is more complex and dynamic…

Why You Need Super-Conscious States To Be Truly Free
We all want to be free, because freedom is our true nature. It’s this inherent quality of the soul that drives you to seek a way out of anything that feels constrictive—pain, limitations, disease, injustice, oppression, and so on. But the ego-mind distorts this natural yearning with the belief that freedom is something external to yourself. Drawing your attention outwards…
Why We Must Surrender the Ego To Promote Peace
The whole world was shocked by the violent insurrection at the US Capitol earlier this month. This is not supposed to happen after an election in America, the bedrock of democracy. And yet, it proves how the human mind is vulnerable and easy to manipulate by those who crave power (see Why Martial Souls Rule The World). Anything is possible…

Also, there’s nothing celebratory about the Pilgrims coming to impose a religious theocracy over the native Americans, and there’s no real information about how, or if,…
How To Stay Grounded As You Navigate Your Life
Life is fluid. It’s constant fluctuation and change. But in this time and age, it’s also fast-paced and a bit chaotic, with so many things going on at the same time and so much information coming from different angles. Modern technology allows you to engage with the world 24/7 without being physically out in the world. The natural direction of…
How To Master the Art of Listening
True listening is essential to be happy and at peace. I believe hearing is the first physical sense we develop in the womb, although in a primal form (with no sense of separation), when we “hear” our mother’s heart beat. Then, once we’re born, our mother’s voice makes us feel safe and nurtured, even as our other senses begin to…
