The Sage Says

          Trusting people is having attachments, and attachments create suffering. This may turn some people off because most will say without trust, there is no relationship. But honestly, when we trust what people say in hopes they say what they mean, or will follow through with their word, what happens when they don’t? We get mad, upset, disappointed, and feel like we can’t trust people. That’s why I do my best to practice Buddhist teachings. Whatever is, just is. If someone says something and they don’t follow through, that is their path, not ours. If that’s how they choose to show up in life, let them. We don’t have to choose to be affected by it. Character is one’s own personal responsibility. No one is responsible for another person except themselves. Now, in marriage, I could see how this can be an exception, but then again, one would hope they married someone with character and integrity. If not, again it’s on them.

             Our whole entire reality is based on our experiences, which then create beliefs and thoughts. It has been said that perception is everything, so that means that our perception is clearly an illusion.

The reason it is an illusion is because someone can experience the same exact thing, and have a completely different reality about it. Why is that?

The Quantum World has proven how thoughts have frequencies and get sent out into the universe and how those frequencies also affect the body. I won...

          How dark does it have to get before we turn on the lights? How many times will we put ourselves in danger before we walk the path of light? Well, the Dark Night of the Soul will be sure to let us know. That is the moment of necessary surrender. It’s probably one of the most painful places a soul in a human body can go to. It’s when we feel like giving up, quitting, wishing for that bus to hit us, crying ourselves to sleep, drinking bottles of wine, and being so self-destructive that it starts to feel good. It’s when we can’t find any strength or hope to find a way to make things better. And then, things get worse. Right on cue.           Kali Ma. She is the Hindu goddess of destruction. She will come and take the pain away. No matter the religion or philosophy you choose to follow, it’s just symbolism. It symbolizes the complete destruction one’s soul must go through in order to be reborn. Nothing can be rebirthed w...
