Encouragement

Encouragement
It's important and uplifting to encourage ourself and others. One great way to do that is to acknowledge and appreciate what's working. I had the opportunity to encourage a friend yesterday and I found it tremendously uplifting. Encouraging ourself and others strengthens our belief in ourself and others. That's so important I choose to write a book entitled, "Believing in ourself, the master skill". I encourage you to check that book out because anything that results in believing more in ourself and others is worthwhile. You can find a link to that, and my other books, at I offer a free 30 minute introductory coaching session that I believe will help you believe in yourself more. To set that up contact me at

Understanding the challenges we create in our life

Understanding the challenges we create in our life
We create challenges in our life that require us to accept and use our inherent talents and abilities. I believe I have the ability to effectively communicate that we are ONE on a global level. To accomplish that goal, I need to relate more fully to the fact that I am ONE with all that exists. Everything I perceive is a part of me; every person, every thought, every piece of furniture, everything. It's a challenge for me to accept and relate to all this, and I'm making progress. Armed with this understanding, I put myself in position to accept myself and my talents more fully. I write books, share podcasts, give speeches, coach others and work to be an inspiring example of wisdom and acceptance. I offer a free 30 minute coaching session in which unconscious thoughts are acknowledged and the choice to act on or not act on those thoughts is enhanced. To schedule a time, contact me at My books are available on Amazon. You can find links to them on my website,

Source of security

Source of security
Relating to and believing in our ability to meet the challenges in our life is the true source of our security. Too many people are frustrated because they think having more money will create security, and it never does. Money is good and valuable, and it won't buy security just like it won't buy love. The way to build our self confidence in our capacity to meet the challenges of life is to accept what we are currently confident of. This is one more application of the fact that the most efficient way forward is to have a greater and more articulate acceptance of what is true right now. For me that acceptance includes my confidence in my capacity to meditate and gain productive insight into answering my questions and solving my problems in life. I can and do create and give speaches on a moment's notice if asked to. I've created a life that supports my spiritual growth by having my time be my own, having years worth of cash reserves, and engaging in relationships that are uplifting. I've found and implemented solutions in some very challenging circumstances in my life. I'm confident in this writing that I will continue to draw on that ability as needed. All that I've created has been the product of my thoughts and the thoughts I've chosen to act on as well as the thoughts I've choosen not to act on. I can help you have that freedom through my thought coaching. For a free introductory 30 minute session, contact me at My books are available on Amazon. You can find links to the books on my website,

The means is the end

The means is the end
For those of us who believe the present moment is the only moment that will ever exist, it follows that the means is the end because the means occurs in the present moment; the only time that exists. For those who relate more to time, what we focus on grows in our experience. If we focus on delayed gratification, we learn to delay gratification. That doesn't mean we choose to act on self destructive toughts though. In the present moment we are best served by acknowledging the emotion or energy associated with each thought, and only act on thoughts that have the emotion we want more of in our life. True freedom is the ability to be conscious of our thoughts and choose which thoughts to act on. I can help with becoming more aware of thoughts in the mind and more accepting of our freedom to choose which thoughts we want to act on. I offer a free 30 minute coaching session where you can experience the benefits of doing this. You can schedule your appointment by e mailing me at My books are available on Amazon.

Listening more deeply
I've recorded this podcast to reinforce my acceptance that time spent in meditation is time well spent. In recording this podcastg I am reminded that listening deeply in meditation results in me being more inspired and effective in the physical and spiritual worlds. I become aware of physical behaviors that create greater alignment with my devine essence. I find myself believing in myself more. I find myself being more creative. I find myself being more efficient. I find myself experiencing deeper joy and peace. I offer a free 30 minute introductory coaching session in which you have the opportunity to become more aware of your thinking and the choice you have on which thoughts to act on; true freedom.

The motivation behind our actions

The motivation behind our actions
Every action we take or action we choose not to take is motivated by our desire to experience our devine qualities of peace, security, joy, love, happiness. wisdom, compassion and other uplifting emotions. Understanding this helps us understand ourself and others more completely. It helps us experience a deeper connection and acceptance of our self and others. I love to do coaching because I find it exhilerating. The energy wisdom and joy pour out of me. Given that, of course I take every opportunity I can to coach and share uplifting wisdom and compassion.

Energy Level
07/30/2025
Energy Level
We are unlimited energy. The more conscious we are of our energy level, the more we can consciously direct our energy. Much of our energy is cancelled out due to interal conflict. When we're aware of the fact that when we're not experiencing a consciously high energy level, we're engaged in unresolved conflict. At that point we can listen to our toughts and uncover that conflict. The more we accept conflict, the more it is resolved. For example, I know I am ONE with all that exists and yet I still think of myself as being separate most of the time. The more I accept this conflict, the more I find myself seeing myself in others, and identifying with being ONE. I offer a free 30 minute introductory thought coaching session.

Anger stops progress
07/28/2025
Anger stops progress
Hanging onto anger stops progress. Denying anger stops progress. As always, acceptance is the way forward. In the case of anger, it means accepting that I am angry and allowing that anger to exist without acting on it. If I'd acted on my angry thoughts I'd be either dead or in prison. What works best for me is to allow myself to experience the anger and the thoughts that are creating the anger. As I accept the existence of angry thoughts, they lose their power and are replaced by positive and accurate thoughts. One example is the thought that people don't value what I have to offer. I have that thought alot and I am angry about that thought. As I accept that thought and the anger that comes with it, I begin to realize so many people and instances in which people have greatly valued what I offer and have benefitted greatly from me sharing my wisdon. That's how I heal anger in part and allow myself to utilize more of the value I am to benefit myself and others. I offer a free 30 minute introductory coaching session in which you'll have the opportunity to become more aware of your thoughts and the freedom you have to choose which thoughts to act on.

The cause and solution of being hard on ourself
07/27/2025
The cause and solution of being hard on ourself
Many if not all of us are self critical in response to not using all of our potential. Tearing ourself down because we have unutilized potential is counter productive. The way out of this mess is to accept the negative thoughts such as "I'm not living up to my potential", "I'm failing in life", "I'm wasting my life", "I should be doing so much better", "I don't know what to do tap more of my potential" and on and on. Once we accept these thoughts as thoughts and not necessarily facts, we create an opening to acknowledge and accept and act on more accurate thoughts such as "I am gaining wisdom and using more of my potential all the time", "I believe in myself enough to be progressively more honest with myself and that results in using more and more of my potential" I offer a free 30 minute introductory coaching session in which thoughts are recognized as thoughts that may or may not be true, and we have the freedom to choose to act on each thought or not.

Increasing acceptance of our value
Anything we focus on grows in our world. If we focus on the value we contribute and it's reflection back to us, that grows. Here are some examples of my worth and value being reflected back to me. Recently I've been contacted by several long term mortgage clients to help them secure new loans on their homes. I've been asked to lead an online seminar on identifying and traveling our unique life path. Yesterday a coaching client wanted to be sure to make his next appointment before we finished our session. I suggested a client start a podcast to share her joy and creativity. She's finding working on that to be a hugh source of joy. These are some of the recent reflections of my growing acceptance of my value. I encourage you to write down ways your value is being reflected back to you. We all have tremendous value to contribute. The more we can take ownership of that value, the more we can share it and benefit ourselves and others by doing so., I offer coaching where you will move forward by accepting more of what is true, including accepting and sharing your value in a manner that uplifts everyone.

Timing of enlightenment
07/23/2025
Timing of enlightenment
We can become enlightened in any instant we choose. Most of us choose to go slowly through the enlightenment process, the process of accepting and relating to the fact that we are ONE with GOD which is all that exists. We go slowly so we can appreciate through comparison our devine power and existence. When we're in the enlightened state, there is no thought, no comparison, nothing but who we are. We experience boundless love, joy and peace; and we have nothing to compare it to as that's all there is. It's that capacity to appreciate through comparison that we've chosen our will to create duality. A practical way to employ this wisdom from the state of consciousness we are at now is to look at everything in our life as something we've created in order to experience our divine nature at work. For example, we experience joy in friendship, love in marriage, creativity, compassion, etc. We use those same qualities to solve the problems and challanges we've created in our life for the express purpose of employing and appreciating our devine attributes. We create with our thoughts. I offer coaching to assist in becoming aware of our thoughts and the power we have to choose to act or not act on any particular thought.

Peace through meditation
When I focus on accepting and being aware of the thoughts in my mind, the thoughts subside. The space between the thoughts grows. In that space there is infinite peace; the experience of being ONE with all that exists, GOD. That experience of infinite peace is always available to each of us. Just knowing that raises my spirits. I record these podcasts to increase my focus and acceptance on whatever is most beneficial to me at that time. They help me a great deal. Because we are ONE, if it helps me, it helps you too. - You're welcome :) I offer thought coaching, first 30 minute session is free.

Self Realization
We are ONE with all that exists. To be fully at peace we need to accept and relate to what is true. Accepting we are ONE with all that exists is part of the truth we need to accept. We can make progress in that acceptance by working on win win solutions, being more empathetic, being more conscious of the thoughts in our mind and the choice we have to act on those thoughts or not. There are a great many ways we can increase our acceptance of being ONE with all that exists. Anything that moves toward a greater and more complete acceptance of our self increases our self realization.

Enjoying Spiritual Growth
We can enjoy spiritual growth by acting on thoughts that have joy as part of them. In my meditation I've found that joy is the devine quality that I can most practically focus on use to facilitate my spiritual growth. For some it's love. Others, peace.

Claustrophobia

Claustrophobia
I believe the claustrophobia I've been experiencing in my dreams is the result of me holding back the expression of who I am and what I know. My whole life I've felt it hasn't been safe to be me. I've been afraid if I expressed who I truly I am, I would be attacked, ostracized, alone and rejected. My experience is largely the opposite, and yet the fear persists. In order to have any life at all, I realized early on that I would have to act in spite of fear to have anything close to a life worth living. In many ways my entire life has been the process of accepting and expressing more of who I truly am in spite of my fear of doing so. The alternative is to create the ultimate suffering of rejecting myself. No pain is greater than giving up on myself; not even the fear of accepting and expressing myself. We create our world with the thoughts we act on. I offer coaching to help people be aware of their thoughts and the power they have to choose which thoughts to act on and which to not act on. The first coaching session is a free 30 minute session. You can schedule that with me by contacting me at My books are available on Amazon. You can find links to the books on my website,

That includes everything; our phones, relationships, planets, dimensions and everything else, from the largest to the smallest and everything inbetween. The more accepting we are of ourself, the more we become consciously aware of our energy and power and our ability to direct that energy to create what we want.

Power, how and why to best use it
Using power is to be guided as all behavior is to be guided; is it in everyone's best interest. Once that question is answered honestly and confidently, the course of action becomes clear. To get to that level of honesty and clarity can take some introspection to be confident of what we know and trust to be true. The time to do that introspection is time well spent. I offer 30 minutes of free thought coaching. In that time you will become increasingly aware of your thoughts and the choice you have to act on those thoughts or not.

Aligning our perspectives
The more aware we are aware of the degree to which our perspectives align, the greater alignment we create. All perspectives can change except for the one that acknowledges that we are all ONE. To maximize all that is good and valuable in our life, we need our perspectives to align. Part of what that means is to align with the perspective we are all ONE. Some of the perspectives that embody that alignment are win win thinking, empathy, compassion. love, joy and peace. When we act on thoughts that have this energy/emotion as part of them, we experience the benefits of our perspectives being in alignment; greater love, joy, peace, etc. I offer a free 30 minute introductory coaching session in which you become more aware of the thoughts in your mind and the power you have to choose which thoughts to act on and the impacts of those choices.

Understanding Creation

Understanding Creation
There are many perspectives within which to understand creation. The highest energy and most powerful perspective is to accept we are all that exists and everything that could possibly be created has already been created. The more we accept the truth that we are ONE, the more conscious our understanding and acceptance of this fact we are. The next most powerful perspective is we create with our will or intention. We choose what we want to create in our life and act on thoughts that are consistent with that desire. Our thoughts create regardless if we're conscious of that or not. We see some people creating difficulties in their life because they're not aware of the thoughts that are creating the difficulties and that they have a choice not to act on those thoughts. It's often easier to see the limiting thoughts in others more easily than it is to see those thoughts in ourself. To that end, I offer thought coaching.

Listening deeply
We have all the answers and energy that exists within us. The more deeply and honestly we listen to ourself, the more we identify solutions and relate to the boundless energy we are. Listening more closely to the thoughts in my mind allows me to choose more consciously the thoughts I act on that create my life. I have both positive and negative thoughts. Among the most impactful positive thoughts are that I am complete and whole as I am. I am not dependent on anyone else for my happiness and success. Among the most negative and debilitating thoughts are: people don't follow through on their commitments and let me down; and the world doesn't want what I have to offer. I accept the existence of the positive and negative thoughts, and do my best to act only on the positive thoughts. The implication of acting on the negative thoughts would be to give up. The implication of acting on the positive thoughts is to acknowledge every time I act on the positive thoughts, my faith and belief in my self grows; I more fully accept the powerful and creative being I am. I offer a free 30 minute introductive coaching session in which you get to experience moving thoughts from the unconscious to the conscious so you can have more conscious choice of the world you create for yourself.
