The moment you become fearless, you also become independent, awake and aware. Dependency, which I define as attachment to others, or to their opinions or beliefs about you, is an obstacle to attaining the enlightened consciousness. Dependency develops and is maintained due to insecurity and fear. As long as you are afraid, you are bound to a lesser level of consciousness. The more fearless you become, the more you open yourself to new levels of spiritual consciousness that will bring you greater success, power and love.

All you have to do to move into this fearless state is to allow yourself to surrender more completely every day. Fear, anger, worry, irritation and other emotional and mental stresses block surrender. Acceptance is opening to surrender. The opposite of surrender is ambition. When you begin to surrender, you may bring on additional stress if you do not let go of doubts, agendas and worries at the same time. Read the rest of this entry »

I’m often asked about the Soul Analysis process that I offer to individuals and couples. People find this fascinating method of spiritual psychology uncanny in its ability to define human characteristics and predict key life events. Using the tools of Soul Analysis we can even discover our soul connections to family, friends and loved ones. Though its roots lie in the ancient mysteries, the Soul Analysis process reveals information, guidance and advice that speaks to our most pressing and present needs for self-understanding and success in our day to day lives.

When I was practicing psychotherapy many years ago, I was also studying the intriguing spiritual sciences of Qabalah and Tarot. This course of study at first focused on the Major Arcana of the Tarot and was not directed at learning to read Tarot cards. These initial studies revealed the deeper meanings of the timeless, enigmatic images found within these cards. Much like the symbolic mandalas of the Eastern spiritual traditions that represent the process of divine awakening, so the Major Arcana of the Tarot depict not only the spiritual journey that life truly is, but also point to key techniques that may be used by anyone to begin shifting consciousness from human to divine.

I just returned from a trip from Colorado to Michigan. My flights took me through several airports in the Midwestern United States where I spent a few hours in between flights. Having a raw vegan diet, I know it is best to take food with me when I travel. I am also aware of the spiritual benefits that are derived from eating food that is sanctified by my own vibration, and not unconsciously prepared.

The vast majority of my fellow travelers in these middle-American airports appeared to be shockingly unhealthy. They were overweight and sick in a variety of ways; their bodies reflected the burdens of a toxic, world, overloaded with despair, separation and fear. I realized they were likely unaware of the subtle cultural and political forces that had beckoned them away from a natural, healthy life; exploiting their conditioned tendency to respond to everything but the eternal self.

I have been involved with many masters and teachers in a variety of spiritual traditions over the past 25 years, and have also been responsible for assisting hundreds of students during this time. Through this process I have learned much about the concept of authority.  For most people the idea of authority implies an unbalanced power dynamic wherein one person has capabilities or knowledge that the other does not. The one with greater knowledge in any specialized field typically holds a superior position in the relationship.

The dynamic of authority depends upon childhood dramas of powerlessness, during which most people have become conditioned to submit to all authorities. In most cultures, this conditioning is extreme enough to cause people to fear their own power. Being conditioned into the idea that one is powerless and must seek knowledge from a true authority inflicts a great deal of harm upon individuals, and keeps humanity as a whole operating at a lower level of consciousness.
