Photo by Vince Petaccio

-Poetic Thursday

-Quotation Wednesday

Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow. ~Aesop

The point is… the environment you grew up in, has shaped the most intimate wants and beliefs . . . →Read the Rest: Boobs. A Conditioned Desire

“If Only.” A desire for Control

The internal or verbal statement…”if only,” implies a need or desire for control. It says that life as it presents itself now, is not sufficient or is lacking. If only I won the lottery, things would be better. If only I could change, my life would be more fulfilling. If only I didn’t have . . . →Read the Rest: “If Only.” A desire for Control

Forgive Thought

Forgiving self may be our greatest challenge.  However it is necessary if we wish to reduce the resistance we send out into the world.  Why would one forgive self over forgiving another?  Because one would understand blame as a pointless game, serving only the ego which desires to separate itself from the rest of . . . →Read the Rest: Forgive Thought

Beautiful I Am

With a grin… Is it wrong that I see myself as a beautiful person? When I reflect on the “I Am” that I am, I get really excited about who this person is.

Genuinely Free

It is not the duty of the ego to judge, it is only his compulsion. Don’t you find it interesting, the nature of judgment; ultimately convincing the ego of it’s own presence. This is how one furthers his void hole, by building a display of significance through breaking down another. When in reality, this . . . →Read the Rest: Genuinely Free

Uplift Downfall – 0085

What we consider the downfall of others, is simply their perfect life learning opportunity.  To judge it as anything else is an escape from our own opportunities for growth.

We point out the flaws in others because it either brings them down to our level or elevates our selves on an imaginary shelf; this . . . →Read the Rest: Uplift Downfall – 0085

Butt Hurt – 0075

I find it funny that we get so butt-hurt when the smallest amounts of rejection seemingly come our way.  Whether it’s when someone doesn’t call us back, or a comment is made that bruises our ego.  Tell me why this idea of possessiveness gives us the right to control the actions and thoughts of . . . →Read the Rest: Butt Hurt – 0075

Ungrounded Identity

The reason you feel so ungrounded internally, is because you’ve attached your identity to perception, which is only an idea or thought; it is not real. You have allowed the foundation of who you are, to be based on an illusion, a mental construct.

Transfered Ego – Self Discovery

How much of what you understand today, was passed on by someone else’s ego based reality? Are you discovering ‘you’, or discovering the ‘you’ someone else wants you to be?
