We Often (Repeatedly) Experience Tremendous Darkness Before Finding The Light
Here’s a pattern I’ve noticed: Some of my greatest awakenings, realizations, and experiences in this life have been preceded by dramatic lows beforehand, emotionally, mentally, and otherwise. It’s almost like a lot of gunk comes up,...
From Emotional Dependence to Independence to Interdependence
Today’s post isn’t about something I know, but about something I’m still learning about and would like to have your input on. It has to do with the topic of emotional interdependence in relationships. The question itself is at the e...
Where Do Thoughts Come From?
Have you noticed how ideas and thoughts just kinda *pop* into our minds? Where do our thoughts come from? What’s going on here? Well the typical way of thinking about our minds is as if it is its own independent thinking entity, doing its think...
Beyond the Ferocity Within
This spiritual pathway can be very much like a roller coaster. There are highs and lows that happen against the backdrop of being, and they can be pretty intense. I often share some of my dark experiences here on this site. The past few days have bee...
Energetic and Emotional Detoxing
When our bodies get sick, perhaps we catch a cold, get the flu, or run a fever, what are some of the symptoms? Runny nose, high temperature, etc. These symptoms are not actually a problem, as uncomfortable as they may be. They are the body’s wa...
The Will to Live
Birth and death are two sides of the same coin called Eternal Life. The Life that you are (notice that I did NOT say have) has no opposite. There is no extinguishment of Life. Only the transformation of what arises within it. One of the egoic mind...
The Shutting Down of Mind
Something that seems to be developing over the last week or so is the progressive shutting down of the mind. Not that it’s somehow damaged and broken, but it seems trying to access thoughts and memories feels a lot like trying to crank an engin...
Dealing with Negative Emotions in a Healthy Way
So part of this spiritual path involves moving from fear towards love, becoming more and more loving. The past few days I’ve allowed myself to be in my ego. To be angry. To feel my deep sadness. To experience this energy that for so long I̵...
LIVING In The Moment
When we talk about the idea of “living in the moment,” so often the emphasis is on being in the moment. On being present in the now. How ’bout the other half of that statement? LIVING in the moment. Fully. PASSIONATELY! I go out hik...
How To Deal With Negative Emotions
Question: Dear Ariel, You must experience negative emotions, right? If so, how do you deal with them when they arise? Thanks, M. My Response: Yep, I’m just as human as anyone else. We are human beings. Even when we are “being,” ther...
Everything That Happens Is For You To Experience Yourself
When we take a look at the experience of life, we can see that many many different things happen all around us. If you were the original Creator of Life, what would be the point of creating it? You already are All That Is. What more would you want? W...

The Buddha Teaches a Lesson on Forgiveness
The Buddha was sitting under a tree talking to his disciples when a man came and spit on his face. He wiped it off, and he asked the man, “What next? What do you want to say next?” The man was a little puzzled because he himself never exp...
Sitting in the Eye of the Storm
Enderts Beach at Dusk, Redwood National Park, by Daniel Ewert So there’s times when you feel your creative mojo flowin’ and it feels like it’s on like Donkey Kong. It’s those times that I feel most tuned in and connected. Then...
The Stripping Away of self
The Guiding Light by Philip Kuglin This is sooooo not what I thought it would be or what I was expecting it to be, this whole awakening thing. It feels like I’m being wiped out, deleted, cleansed away, the little “me” anyways. IR...
Finding Peace, Love, and the Bliss of Creation
Recently I’d posted about some repressed sadness that had been rising up to the surface within me to finally be released. Last week I decided to simply quit spinning it around in my mind and emotional center and to simply go within and meditate...
