Find the work you can do with enthusiasm and then do it with enthusiasm. One of the characteristics of a fallen time is the compulsion (inner and/or outer) to spend your time in counter-enthusiastic pursuits. Great work is never accomplished reluctantly. We all must deal with some counter-enthusiastic tasks and situations, but the core of…

All human lives are complex tapestries of lighter and darker threads. Perception involves choice, and sometimes we focus on the dark elements, sometimes on the light. This is a propitious time to focus on the light elements, the aspects of your life you appreciate and can choose to feel grateful for. Many things have been…

You must take responsibility for your own healing — physical, psychological, and spiritual. Begin by forgiving yourself and accepting the parts of yourself you don’t approve of. The cosmos tends to support those who are vigorously trying to help themselves. We live in a culture where it is considered normal to turn responsibility for your…

Incarnation is not for sissies, not if you want to do it right. Perhaps, with the classic overconfidence of the disincarnate, you chose this particular incarnation with all its hardships and challenges (see Friends don’t let Friends incarnate in the Babylon Matrix). But now that you are here you need to summon the courage to…

The potential for magical manifestation is inherent in the universe. In the New Age this has inflated into the mantra, “You create your own reality.” But if this were the case, wouldn’t some sufficiently positive-thinking New Ager have created a world without pollution? To a great extent you do create your own inner reality, and…
