The review of the 2007 I Can Do It! Conference concludes.
Day 4 - Sunday
Group Meetup
Steve:  About fifteen people showed up to our 8am meetup.  Not everyone stayed for the duration, although most did.  Fortunately the concourse was not at all crowded and was fairly quiet during that time, so we had a good spot all to ourselves.  We [...]

Last weekend Erin and I attended Hay House’s 2007 I Can Do It!

Making Peace With Death

Sunday, April 29th, 2007

While I have a strong drive to enjoy my physical life, I know — really know – it’s just temporary.  Against the backdrop of eternity, our human lives are very, very short… little more than a cosmic wink.  Some people treat that as a serious problem, but it really doesn’t have to be.
When someone crosses over, such as [...]

Spiritual Depth Perception

Wednesday, April 25th, 2007

Stereo vision is one of our more fascinating human abilities.  Our eyeballs capture 2D snapshots of our environment, and our brains and visual circuitry rapidly combine them into 3D images.  So even though our eyes are perceiving reality in two dimensions, by combining the data from both eyes in a specific way, we perceive our [...]

For Love of Evil

Sunday, March 25th, 2007

I’d like to clarify a common question about polarity and love:  How does a darkworker experience love?
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 [...]

Darkworkers, Lightworkers, and Levels of Consciousness

Friday, March 23rd, 2007

How can a darkworker experience higher levels of consciousness like unconditional love and peace? 
The original descriptions of the levels of consciousness are lightworker-biased.  For a darkworker the level of unconditional love is directed inwardly as love of self.  It’s like a highly concentrated form of arrogance.  It may not be expressed outwardly in the form of a smug attitude, but inwardly the [...]

Are You a Lightworker or a Darkworker?

Thursday, March 8th, 2007

Asking this question is like asking whether you’re a black belt in karate or jujitsu.  Most likely you are neither, since most people never make such a commitment in their entire lives.  Lightworkers and darkworkers combined probably account for less than 1% of the population.
Becoming a lightworker or darkworker isn’t something that just happens to you.  It’s a [...]

Polarization

Monday, February 26th, 2007

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 [...]
