As a method of reducing stress, with a larger goal of liberating ourselves from the either/or stressed based scarcity model of the universe, last month we began a series of podcasts dedicated to building healthier relationships through effective communication skills.
If you have ever been in an unhealthy relationship (and quite frankly who hasn’t?) then you […]

Lauryn Hill, on her 1998 CD The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, sang that “miscommunication leads to complications“. Relating to personal and world Peace, truer words were never spoken, sung or rapped. There’s a process that verbal communication goes through, and when you consider what happens in that process, it’s a wonder that we communicate at […]

Since August of 2007, we have produced nine pod casts. The unifying theme in these pod casts is that world peace can become a reality when enough people find peace within their own heart. To that end, these pod casts have addressed subjects as raising our low self esteem, adopting healthier behaviors and attitudes, and […]

In this podcast, I would like to share with you the most enlightening and liberating thing that I have learned in my 20 year journey of self-discovery.

For 7 ½ years I taught drug- and behaviorally-addicted parolees in California life skills. It was a 120-hour course that consisted of four components: one was the disease concept of addiction; there was recovery, or behavior modification; there was building healthy relationships with healthy people; and stress and anger management. That’s the component that I […]

A good friend of mine once told me that nothing is entirely good or bad. I think that’s what the little dots in the yin and the yang symbol represent – that everything has the potential for its opposite within it. The Buddhists have a saying, “When you find a jewel in the rubbish, treasure […]

Have you ever had the experience of seeing something that you when you saw it you immediately recognized it as profound, but you didn’t quite get it? It happens to me a lot.

A couple of years ago, I was playing basketball and I dislocated a knuckle and broke a finger on one hand. I was going through physical therapy to heal from the injury, and I was sitting in the lobby of the physical therapist’s office feeling sorry for myself and across the room there was a […]

I’m optimistic about the future of mankind. I see humanity on the verge of an evolutionary leap in awareness where we recognize our inherent connectedness. The connectedness that we all share. I look around and I see three of the dominant ideologies of our time - science, religion and technology - all coming together at […]
