Universal principles

People often get pissed off about universal principles because they can appear to de-value their unique perspective. We can easily shun an approach which is helpful, from a place of rebellion. It only hurts themselves. People get stuck for years and decades due to this rebellion. This includes over-loyalty to religious affiliation, cultures of origin, […]

There is nothing wrong with you

Every distortion you have is a reflection of a deeper truth. There is nothing wrong with you. You are a holy, innocent being. Doing “the work” is necessary and can be extremely challenging, but please don’t imagine this is a reflection of who YOU are. It is totally unrelated. Your nervous system state doesn’t define […]

Allowing Projections

As a guide for people on their personal journeys I have had to realize over the course of many years that it is very important for me to allow people to have their projections and misunderstandings about me. If for example they see me as a narcissist or manipulator or however it is that they […]

Hunger seeks hunger

A huge amount of “spiritual community” consists of people hungrily seeking resonance. A community who “just gets me”. And sometimes, they find it. But which “me” do they “get”? The shadow self. Hunger seeks hunger. Trauma seeks trauma. Grasping seeks grasping. And so when we want to find out who “resonates” with our journey, we […]

Making an Audience Happy is Not the Point

Making an Audience Happy is Not the Point ——————————————- When storytellers base their success on making the audience happy, this is like a parent basing their success on making the kids happy.

Theater is Innate

Theater is Innate ——————– Storytelling didn’t pop up by accident – it is a natural and innate way for the human nervous system to process thoughts, experiences, and emotions.

Monstrous Comedy

“Monstrous Comedy” When this phrase pops up for me my deep self gets excited saying “Yes, that’s it!” This phrase is so powerful because it contains a key code that reminds me of what is real. We can laugh from different places in our bodies. There is avoidant laughter, and there is deep transformational laughter. […]

What is Alignment?

Alignment is when the true self says “Not for me” and the human says “Not for me”. Alignment is when the human gets onboard and says “ABSOLUTELY!” and the true self also says “ABSOLUTELY!” At my recent 2 week intensive retreat, my client was trying to determine when to say yes and when to say […]
