Always in the Celestine Facebook groups, there is discussion on Control Dramas, especially regarding problems that our group members are struggling with and trying to figure out how to solve. Very often, this discussion leads to a reminder to “sort the pile” into the part of the conflict or problem that I (or the member) […]
Our species have struggled with the “seven sins,” for longer than the clock has ticked. And it seems to me that these negative behaviours all have two things in common: they are triggered by trauma and rooted in Fear. When something happens that we can’t rationally compute, fear sets in, and it can morph into […]
One of the most empowering lessons I’ve ever learned was about the power of choice. I learned a great deal about the power of choice from some circumstances in which the person involved had little or no choice available. I’d like to share a few of those stories with you here. The first story comes […]
Wayne was my hero and friend, and his passing has saddened me. I remember we met at one of his lectures in Atlanta, and I gave him the Celestine Prophecy in manuscript form. He told me not to listen to anyone who said I couldn’t get the book out… to just go do it. That […]
I found myself waiting in the doctors’ clinic recently, which is often a challenging experience, but one we can’t always avoid. My son had coughed so much through the night I wanted to get him checked over to see if his lungs were clear. Thankfully, the doctor said, “It’s was one of your run of […]
I am raising a son and I couldn’t be happier or love him more. He is adorable, loving, and adventurous. Everything is still new and exciting to him. And, as he moves into a new phase of his life—kindergarten—I am awakened to new fears, fears that I never considered while raising my daughter because, statistically, […]
I recently listened to Steve Pavlina’s podcast entitled, “Life, the Universe, and Everything”, and it got me contemplating our soul purpose and the worthiest pursuits in life. Throughout our evolution, humans have questioned why we’re here and (as explained in the Second Insight and again in the Twelfth Insight), we’re now at a point where […]
The first line of the first page in most introductory finance textbooks says that we should seek to maximize wealth. The basic idea is applied to both businesses and individuals. That means every decision comes back to one simple goal: get and keep as much money as possible. This narrow focus makes a lot of […]
I have questioned the direction of my life for as long as I can remember. Early on, I tried several paths for work (mainly in the arts and service) but I never became entirely defined by any one passion. I always loved seeking out adventure and new experiences, but I had a hard time making […]
The 22nd of April was Earth day, and I spent a beautiful day in the sun with friends running energy processes, connecting and contributing to the Earth, and equally receiving from it.
