At the other end of the spectrum from self-help junkies, we find self-help cynics. Self-help cynics are people who’ve become totally disillusioned with anything associated to personal development.

They are who they [...]

How lightworkers experience love
Lightworkers express love outwardly through forms such as giving and service. Love is something that flows out of them and into the world. This definition of love is fairly consistent with the social norm. When you feel [...]

This article continues our exploration of Polarity. If you haven’t yet digested the first article, you’ll probably want to do so before reading this one, since now we’re going to extend those concepts even further.
A quick review
Every thought has two components: content and energy. Content is the data portion of a thought, and energy is the carrier [...]

At the start of each new year, in lieu of creating a New Year’s resolution, my tradition is to select an area of primary focus for the coming year.
