We are looking at love through a veil of fear. Fear creates dark-colored glasses that make love seem too painful to fully accept. If we truly understood that fear was a dark shadow distorting our knowledge of love, we wouldn’t fear the darkness and would walk through it to greet love waiting on other side.

One lazy day, when I was 14-years-old, I was laying on the living room floor letting my thoughts wander. For no particular reason, I began to wonder if there was a limit to how small a particle could be. I envisioned a blood cell, then the nucleus within it, then the particles that made up [...]

We got what we wanted. Long ago, in a blink of an eye, we created this universe. Our powerful selves, created by the thought of God, possessed the power to create. And so we did. Being God’s children, it took only an instant to create all thoughts of time and space, and for all the [...]

Every decision based on fear is the wrong decision. Not because of the outcome, but because of its motive. When we are young, life’s problems seem black and white. But as we grow older, life seems to become more complicated and the answers shrouded in shades of gray. But, as a shaman and spiritual practitioner moving into [...]

You search from branch to branch for truth. You soar to the skies looking for the face of God. You burrow beneath the trees’ roots to feel the pulse of the Earth. Yet, you do not need to search outside yourself. Sit still and feel the truth in your heart. Know love has never left [...]

I had a vivid dream the other night that I knew had a deeper meaning, although its symbolism was hidden from me at first. In the dream, there was a man who stood pointing across a wheat field, telling me there was an event that I needed to attend. I walked in the direction he had pointed through [...]

The Book that will Help You Believe in Miracles! I wrote Shaman Stone Soup after learning that some people were afraid of shamanism. This was surprising, since I had discovered through my experiences with shamanism that it offered a divine connection with enlightened beings, nature, and the loving Spirit.

Often we believe that to find our spiritual purpose in life, we must leave our worldly belongings behind and live like a disciple or monk. But, I have come across two women, a pottery sculptress and a restaurant owner, who have had a profound influence in their communities.

Oneness can only be felt when we see no differences between us. If we look only at the form, such as a body, we will see differences. When we see something as different, we see an aspect that we are lacking in ourselves. But when we look at everything as a spirit, a spirit that is part of us, there are no differences and we can love perfectly.

Yesterday, I was playing in the Atlantic ocean with my family, and getting adventurous with a boogie board and a decent surf. After a while, I began to feel seasick. I went to get out of the water, but then thought ‘resistance is the cause of pain.’ So, I decided to try flowing with waves [...]

But the need to share ourselves with someone who looks at us with loving eyes and a non-judgemental heart is essential to our well-being.

We believe that once the body’s concerns are taken care of, we will feel peace. But those who achieve fame, fortune and health, realize that this is not true. The body’s freedom is not freedom. It’s in the mind where true happiness, joy and love is found.

I know that when we are able to let go of this body and connect with our higher selves, we react and create perfectly. With no limitations — not even time and space can hold us back.
