In part one of dealing with worry I was trying to show that when you are confident with your internal gifts and act out of them, then positive things begin to show up all around. What happens when worry gets the better of you? Human beings have two aspects to themselves, an ego, which is …
Worry a.k.a. anxiety is the negative emotion that projects a negative illusion onto the future so that you can maintain your present state in a protected manner. If you are more conservative in your views or politics, you see the future as someone coming in and taking away what you already have. It causes you …

A blemish in a dream is an imperfection. Everyone has blemishes because everyone is imperfect. The modern culture seems to want me to be like this photo below. I pick up my copy of Runner’s World Magazine which is full of good articles and good advice, but the cover…

A few nights I was in Singapore doing a dream meeting with about 25 people. There were quite a few interesting dreams as there always are, but one thing that really caught a great deal of interest for me was that of dreaming about catastrophes. In the particular dream,…
I woke up with a dream this morning that reminded me of some feelings that I had in elementary school. The primary feeling was fear, but there didn’t seem to be any reason for the fear. I was reluctant to relate to people even though they were friendly, open, and hospitable really wanting me to …

Two nights ago I had a dream where I was going downhill in a sort of half walk, half- run trot about the speed of a camel, and as I approached the bottom a group of about 4 children around the age of 10 or 11 went racing up…

What should your attitude be after you have had an intense nightmare or have gone through a horrific experience in real life? When most people begin working with what is happening with themselves, the first goal they have is to get rid of the recurrence of the negative feelings. …

If you have ever been to one of my dream meetings, you will almost always hear me say that snakes are about change, transformation especially at the beginning stages of change, but there is hardly another animal on the planet that evokes so much fear as a snake. Part…
Today I woke wondering why I have this mental habit of trying to get everything done all at once or in a very short time period. It is as if my mind refuses to live in a sequential, time-based, rhythmic world. I have trouble doing sequences-based tasks like following recipes or sticking to an …
Healing or Development Change is always basically the same process of changing negative energy to positive energy, but where you start from to do the change process depends upon how dysfunctional you are in your overall life. You will have to find where you are coming in last place, where you are kicked out of …
“Act in accordance with the counsels of the Lord: that is, rise up in such wise, and with such qualities, as to endow the body of this world with a living soul, and to bring this young child, humanity, to the stage of adulthood. So far as ye are able, ignite a candle of love …
http://www.coopradio.org/content/experiencing-sacred-21 Hi Everyone, I just did a talk this morning on dreams on the radio station below. You can click the link if you would like to hear it. It has a couple of minutes before the show of some music and announcements before it begins. Enjoy it.
The other day I found a new gear in my skiing. Literally I have gone from really slow and fearful on the easiest green runs, to gradually adding a blue run (intermediate level) to just relaxing and flying down the mountain. Some switch flipped and there I was feeling so free with the speed. It …
I wouldn’t call myself an expert in the area of how to accelerate learning so it may be a bit arrogant of me to title this post as if I know what the essentials of accelerated learning actually are. It fascinates me that a young person can be brilliant in almost every academic subject, but …
In 1975 I started my first professional teaching job in a small city in North Dakota. During that time period there was a big movement in education, probably the most exciting time of the last century, in which many of the old practices came into question. The old practices came into question because many young …
I am slowly walking down a lonely corridor. It is bright and sunny outside, but inside the shades of my feelings range from a misty gray to the blackest night. What was once a corridor full of hope and joy has now turned to painful attacks. I am walking toward my wife’s classroom ready to …
I am driving in northern Mexico not far from the city of Monterrey. There are 5 of us in a paneled van having just spent a few days in the beach town of Tampico where we were trying out our limited Spanish in hopes to get in with some of the locals. It is mid …

Note: I wrote this piece about 10 years ago, but it is obviously more relevant than ever. Everyone in the world no matter which culture or remote island you are from suffers from the lack of living in a culture of encouragement. We have all grown up in cultures…

Not too long ago someone sent me a dream about being on the Titanic and helping people in the life boats. It got me thinking that unless you have lived your life in a protected bubble, we all have been on the “Titanic” at one time or another. We all have had to face catastrophes, …

When you have a recurring dream, a dream that repeats itself over time, its purpose is to bring up a recurring issue in your life that you need to address. Even if you do not have recurring dreams, if you track your dreams regularly, you will find that you…

Why do you run out of gas in a dream? Automobiles in our dreams are symbols of getting from one place to another in our lives. For example, suppose you are the type of person who plans out what you want to accomplish for a day or a week…

You can be chased by almost anything in a dream because the dream world is extremely creative in its effort to give you the most perfectly delivered message about the fear you are facing. The main reason for having a chasing dream is to let you know that the…
Secret #1: Everyone of us has darkness, that is, we all have weaknesses and fears and vulnerabilities that make us do things that are not so positive. You cannot expect perfection from others, because it does not exist. As obvious as this is most of us get angry at others when they act badly. You …
So I am sitting down to do my morning prayer and meditation saying the words and trying to listen for guidance when, without knowing it, my mind is going over something I have to do later in the day. Does this sound familiar? I am trying to have a relaxing conversation with someone and then …
