You have heard it said many times before - love the other as yourself, you are to love unconditionally. But oh how we fall short. We wrap our love in the bindings of our beliefs, judgments, expectations, labels and opinions. When will we truly listen to the call of our heart? 

Since there is no lack in Oneness what is there to hold back? In our Beingness we can fully give love, compassion, and understanding. When we open to the Oneness that we are we see the other as our self. Therefore, when we give to others we are giving to ourselves.

If you don't feel abundant with what you have now, even if you get more, you won't feel abundant.

As we continue on our path of cultivating inner peace we come to Depth. Depth is the movement from the mind to the heart, from knowing to Being. 

As a therapist who has a keen interest in human behavior and a desire to help others (and myself) heal and be free from suffering I have spent a great deal of time looking at how we create our own suffering and that of the world we live in. 

Many find themselves caught in political and religious debates and conflicts. They hold a stance of seperation and division, determined to cling to their story (point of view) regardless of the suffering it causes them and others. The anger and frustration they feel inside, even if not spoken outwardly, are forms of suffering.

In contemplating joy it seems most of us spend a majority of our adult life doing what we think we "should" do. Fulfilling obligations out of guilt, shame, or fear.

I was recently asked, "What is your vision?":  I hold the vision that there is no word known as healing, for each person knows themselves only as wholeness and pure Love

During these times it seems there is very little to be certain of.  People are losing their jobs, their homes; families are splitting and living apart in order to survive financially.  These challenges are evoking a state of fear.  When we are in fear, we are in contraction. 

Do you seek the wisdom of the world or Divine wisdom, for I tell you they are not the same? This is a question that anyone wanting a direct experience of the Divine and to cultivate inner peace contemplates.

We live in a fast paced, instant gratification world.  We expect perfect service 100% of the time,  we expect to receive what we want, when we want it. We expect others to believe what we believe and to do things the way we would do them. 

During these times of uncertainty, worry and fear it can be a challenge to feel at peace. How does one go about cultivating peace in oneself and the world? All the teachings point to the same place - we have to go within.
