Spiritual Doubt

In the wake of the political sea change here in the US, the topics of fear and doubt come up a lot.  In conversations, people tell me about the changes in their lives–mostly not positive–and then become incredibly afraid.

In speaking with them more, I try to find out what it is they are afraid of.  And what they all eventually say is this:  “I’m afraid I won’t be okay”.

This is the definition of spiritual doubt.

Throughout the history of mankind, religious and spiritual traditions have written and talked at length about spiritual doubt.  But to my knowledge, none has ever distilled it down to one, simple statement.

So what’s the antidote?   The next time you feel overwhelmed by circumstances and what’s going on around you seems too much to handle, just ask yourself this question:  Will I be okay?

You may argue with yourself a bit as you finally come to the answer, but I will bet the answer is always this:  Yes, I will be okay.

And with that, you will have just overcome what spiritual leaders have been trying to teach their followers for millennia.

You will have overcome spiritual doubt.

Also animals don’t sense time, they sense the cycles of the day. Third, in physics, time mathematically works just as well

Survival of the Fittest Group

I’ve heard Darwin’s theory of evolution described as one of the most dangerous ideas in human history–the idea that a single individual needs to fight against all others for its sole survival. That’s the problem with our Western culture today. Instead, thinkers who pre-dated Darwin suggested “survival of the fittest group” which provides for collaboration

Using Totems to Create Reality

Some time ago, a young client called me whose company I have been helping to grow over the last 18 months. Their growth has been spectacular and it looks like they will be bought by a much bigger company—a dream of his we have been working on. He wanted advice about how to remain focused
