Deep Self Awareness & The Numbness We Call Normal

May 7, 2017

It’s pretty damn simple really. It all boils down to how we experience our lives. How alive we are in the moment. How we show up. How we experience life depends on how conscious we truly are. The question is, how deeply awake we are as we experience our life. If we were radically honest with ourselves and woke up enough to notice, we’d admit that the majority of us are just sleepwalking children. Everything we […]

I support you in every way. Gregory, extraordinarily beautiful yet slightly out of focus, this […]

Love is wise, hatred is foolish. Some people say things that we don’t like. If we are to live together and not die together we must learn charity and tolerance which is absolutely vital to the continuation of human life on this planet. – Betrand Russell

“When America raced to send the first men into space, they trained the astronauts in one skill more than in any other: the art of not panicking. When people panic, they make mistakes. They override systems. They disregard procedures, ignore rules. They deviate from the plan. They become unresponsive and stop thinking clearly. At 150 miles above Earth in a spaceship smaller than a VW, this is death. Panic is suicide.” A quote from Ryan […]

Are the super successful achievers bestowed some special divine gift? Some inborn or innate ability? Is there such a thing as a natural born leader? Have you ever wondered what category you fit in? Are you destined for greatness? I could be wrong, but I imagine that any of us […]

Today I consider the question that baffles my mind, the question I love to hate most-How do we live our true purpose in life? I actually considered banning this question from my thoughts, but was inspired this morning with this kind of awesome idea. It goes something like this – Begin with – guarding our thoughts – The mind is everything. What you think you become. –Buddha First we must carefully protect our minds. Our […]

While I have lived and have traveled to some pretty amazing places, I have always felt that my true home, my refuge, was in my heart and in this present moment right now.Home, you have sought it everywhere, but you are already there. Home, the flowing river of the heart. Love holding you in close embrace. Home, it’s not a place but a state of being. Enjoy more poetry from Danna Faulds Go In and In: Poems From the Heart […]
