Killing Bugs

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

Many people assume I went vegetarian and then vegan because I care about animals. That’s a common perception, but as I’ve mentioned before, it isn’t the truth. The truth is essentially the opposite. My compassion for animals developed only after I made these dietary changes.

Zen Habits Interview, Facebook Page, Free Book Bonuses, and More

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

If you’re up for some fresh content, Zen Habits just posted a monstrous new interview with me.

Physical vs. Non-Physical Reality

Saturday, September 6th, 2008

If you can clearly and vividly imagine what you want, why does it take so long for that vision to show up in physical reality? I’ve addressed this question once before in the article “Why Do Intentions Take So Long to Manifest?” In this article I’ll answer this question from a different angle.
The first step [...]

In this article I’ll share some practical tips for raising your financial vibration and expanding your financial comfort zone.
