FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityLive & Remember...When you're older and you cannot remember your own innocence, you'll suffer more from your unhappiness. If you've learned to be unforgiving and believe the world is out to get you, instead of accepting what's happening and being flexible to job, life and love changes, you falter around finding new ways to emerge from the types of crises that affect ALL of us at one time or another. Life is not a never-ending lovefest with peace. It's more often a struggle between what you've come to believe that can be limiting and what your intuition or...2023-09-2714 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityOne Small Step to More Powerful LeapsWhen confronted with how to change, most people become overwhelmed before they even begin. Such questions as: How do I change? Where do I start? and What should I do? - being vague in nature - become the starting place for a quick ending. When you can't define a path or see things as manageable most people quickly give up. This is a truth around anything from changing careers, growing a business, working on a relationship or even just wanting to improve a personal habit. If you talk to Cody Smith, however, he...2023-09-2134 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityLOVE IS _________________________You think you know what love is? Of course you do because it's what it is to you - what it feels like, looks like, sounds like, smells like. But what IS it REALLY? Is it a feeling? Is it an experience? Is it simply everything all at once...the convergence of energies that will alter your existence, even if only for a brief moment in time? If you ask me, love is the highest vibrational force in the universe. It can explode, implore, impart, include and revere anything. It is the greatest g...2023-09-1430 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityCause & Effect - Kharma Doesn't JudgeIf you're like me you might have learned that kharma is about some big-bad God waiting to get back on you for everything from a minor fault to an egregioius mistake. Realistically, universally and simply, kharma, according to Dr. Lynn Anderson, is about cause and effect. And EVERYTHING you do is the cause of something else. Now, you don't need to worry about that person you offended so much as you should be a bit concerned with how these "effects" have and will turn into consequences to/for you. BTW, none of this is about...2023-09-0639 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityPOWER, Purpose Realization & Shared ExperienceYour work life is never far away from who you are. Many people want to bring more of themselves to their work but don't understand why they don't feel fulfilled. It's probably because fulfillment is not something that you get just by showing up and getting a paycheck. You have to be invested in a vocation, a calling, with who you really are. Some think that the overall change we seek in business by bringing a deeper self is to talk about feelings, or hire more women. This is one way to balance a historical lack of...2023-08-3126 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityThe Power of Shifting From Fear to LoveGetting your entire life into LOVE mode takes the kind of work that's about practice. And that practice can last a lifetime. Because even though we were born to love, we have had TOO much practice learning to fear. Yet, as Nina Presman reminds us, fear, although distinct, dark and seemingly overpowering, will ALWAYS vibrate lower than love. How does one start the shift in the direction of love? How do you begin to understand your individual fear- and harm-based scripts and patterns that will thwart the journey to love? Well, as Nina p...2023-08-1642 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityEmpowerment Through Magical SpiritualityIf you've ever enjoyed a good magic show as a child, you know how fun, mysterious and enlightening it can be. As adults, we've been looking at our lives as way too pragmatic, not enviable and definitely like a computer program that we haven't exactly gotten to run quite right. In other words, we're in a loop...a loop of boredom, mediocrity, lack of questioning, and FEAR. So the big question is WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MAGIC? Magic is like the elements, there but unpredictable and unknown. And most of you are scared to death...2023-08-0941 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityA Good Powerful SystemMany people feel they need more guidance than ever...but the people, places and systems they used to be guided by in the past (media, government, work, authority, etc) haven't been working quite as well. Even the weatherman (or is it weatherperson?) seems to be wrong more than ever. WTH do we do NOW? We do what we should have been doing in the first place - relying on our own intrinsic power, our Good Powerful System (GPS). This guidance system is in ALL of us, whether we answer to it or not. Deb Kelly...2023-08-0244 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityWinning & Power--What People Who Want to be Successful Must LearnEveryone wants to win or - at the very least - not feel like a loser. Despite all types of money and successes, deep inside a lot of people is the "not enough/loser" feeling. If you have that, "losing" will continue to follow you despite anything you acquire. Since everything you acquire is on loan, choosing to chase "stuff" prevents you from working out the kinks in your foundation that prevent real and lasting success. You were born to win. Let me say that again... YOU WERE BORN TO WIN. If you think that's not true fo...2023-07-2641 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityCounting, Consciousness & Emotional Well-BeingWhen you're angry, have you ever tried Counting to 10...before you do or say anything? Or, when learning a new sport or a musical instrument, using some form of counting brings your mind to the task - and to the present moment. And, it's always the present moment where things happen and love & learning occur. When your mind is focused on one task, all sorts of solutions appear. A gateway to greater and more powerful consciousness opens and you are present and in your physical body. From the most present, physical place, your emotions can be addressed and learned to...2023-07-1723 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityHuman Training & The Sticky GumIf you've ever sought to change another, you know it's not as simple as having ONE conversation and expecting them to change. Progress and the process take a lot of time. Nature is of the highest order in the decision to change even one thing about yourself. In particular, when it comes to another person, self-acceptance will allow you to understand that their transformation need not be part of your struggle. If you want to change another person and think a conversation or scripted formula will do the trick, it won't...unless that person wants to change. And...2023-07-1114 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityMental Manipulation at the Edge of the MinefieldAre you sitting comfortably surrounded by people who talk and think like you do? Do you see/spend time only with people who agree with, or relate to, everything you say? Have you also taken it upon yourself to find media which keeps you stuck in this bubble? When was the last time you let your mind wander to the space where people are "on the other side", thinking very unlike you? There are lots of places where you can find people who don't see things the way you do and it can get really uncomfortable quickly. Yet, with a...2023-07-0617 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityThe Mind: A Lock, Block or Bridge?Your mind is capable of higher thinking - MUCH higher than you can imagine. But your thoughts have to get out of the way. Sounds like opposite ideas, but your mind isn't just about your thinking, especially when it's detached from your heart or soul. This is the story of me obsessing about not remembering the combination of a lock on my bicycle. This obsession lasted a solid three days. I had to let it go before I could take it to the bicycle store. And guess what happened? I remembered, late one night, out of the blue, that...2023-06-2720 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityA Reality Check in IsolationReality is not necessarily REAL. How do you define reality? How do you know that you know reality? I'm pretty sure that reality is not one's opinions...because opinions come from intellect- and are often ego-based. Convincing other people of the need to see and believe what YOU believe is not reality, it's your conviction and drive to have others see you, i.e., your perception. Your reality is very much emotion-based, which means it's not always going to be completely in line with others who have different feelings. BTW, those other people are not wrong for having different feel...2023-06-2015 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityPassing on the Full Mantle of Soul SicknessYou pass on SO much inforation that you don't question. As a matter of fact, you have layers upon layers of beliefs that are cemented and are making/keeping your soul sick. Then, because of prolonged sickness, your perceptions are continuing to be limited. Your realit(ies) were gathered before you learned to question - you just BELIEVED. You validated and sought out continued confirmation - through the unconscious nature of your eyesight. You CANNOT poke holes in people's belief systems without trust so you can stop fighting with people to get them to SEE. No knowledge is irrefutable...2023-06-1217 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityWhat Will You Do When the Bubble Bursts?Our lives are full of a lot of emotion these days. The way you feel can be validated by finding like people and communities who provide security, belonging or comfort. This is GOOD. Yet, these spaces of comfort can provide limited thinking and can enhance narrow minds, becoming a bubble because their purpose is to inflate a "safety zone." What happens when that bubble becomes destructive and you start to feel "apart from"? In other words, that bubble BURSTS. You may feel alone. HOW do you then figure out who you are or how to feel? If you're open...2023-06-0523 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityA Public Service Announcement on Spiritual HealthAwareness, awareness, awareness. It's key and it's also not about you being aware of me, but me being aware of myself. What is it that awareness is supposed to do? Do we need more awareness when, in fact, there is more awareness than ever and things don't seem to be going away? It seems to me that the "awareness-building" media are creating more openings for more pleas for more awareness. But once I'm aware, what do I DO? Where does my awareness take me? Am I now qualified - because I understand more or am talking about it more...2023-05-2922 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityHuman Spiritual SatiationYour fulfillment of deep spiritual human needs can be compared to eating. We eat in gluttony and don't think about whether or not we're getting what we need. We "fill up" our well, but with things that leave us empty; we're not satisfied to our fullest human digestive state. When you eat empty calories, they fill up your stomach and you'll be satisfied momentarily, but it will trigger an addictive cycle of wanting more. Material fulfillment is like that - it's empty and fundamentally dissatisfying. Nothing is stored for later and nothing is balanced. You don't have enough of...2023-05-2222 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityThe Bottom of the Barrel - Known as YOUWhy are you struggling so much? Your barrel/well that you keep trying to fill up with "stuff" has a hole in the bottom and you keep scraping for more of what you can't reach. The container that is YOU needs a balm for the loneliness that's been fueled by low self-esteem. Low self-esteem resides in your thinking and is waiting to tell you that you'll never fill the barrel and that you're still not enough. The stuff you've been taught to fill the barrel with is the vapid-who-you-think-you-are that rules your life...your job, where you live, who...2023-05-1617 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityComplacency + Weakness = DeathSometimes I feel disappointed in what I see as weakness, and I'm not talking about expressing feelings, nor about strength. Sensitivity is human and far from weak. What makes me weak is what I do with what's happening with me and how I feel. When you don't address feelings by taking responsibility and owning what's happening to YOU from within YOU - you lack courage. No one is "making" you feel anything and believing so by assigning blame to others is a form of weakness. If your feelings cause another feeling of weakness, that may be because you haven't b...2023-05-0819 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityThe Grace of Your GreatnessLimiting beliefs and excuses put up roadblocks to your dreams. And our society reinforces these falsehoods all the time. Just look around at those living their dreams. They refuse to believe what people would say to keep them down or limited. People's masks are telling you that you can succeed, while showing you all the things you should be warned about the potholes that will stumble and harm you. The message is "keep yourself safe", "don't risk", "take it easy". AND if you think outside the box, you might be identified by people - even those closest to you t...2023-05-0115 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityA Therapy of WordsHow do you find answers? Do you automatically, when struggling or seeking, go within and negatively over-examine or do you quickly seek answers from others before any self-introspection? There are many self-help modalities built on dialogue, commonly known as shooting the shit. Education, also, is a form of trading ideas. No matter what the modality, these types of conversational self-help are a great catharsis because, of ourselves, we cannot fully find our own answers. When you have a problem, if you go to therapy or get coaching, for example, you're affording someone else the intention to get to know...2023-04-2421 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityThe Questions You're Not Asking YourselfWhen situations present themselves and you don't like what you see, you probably want the easy way out - which is usually just to listen to others and follow along with the predominant messaging or what "they" tell you to do.. Yet, what will that net you in finding truth? What will you sacrifice in terms of your own confidence when you can't make up your own mind? When a larger group pushes an agenda, and you are in conflict, you'd be wise to go to the people you know whom you can ask "What do you think I...2023-04-1725 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityCatharsis & MetamorphosisCatharsis is the purging of emotions or the alleviation of emotional tensions. Metamorphosis is change of form or substance. Catharsis should lead to metamorphosis if the alleviation of emotions or the eradication of emotional tensions is followed up by action. That action should naturally lead to change within once your inner tension has been released. When you purge emotions, you are releasing hormones AND stuck energy. Catharsis begins a spiritual process that MOVES energy for your improvement. You can change your own substance by catharsis followed by metamorphosis. Until I relieve myself of emotional tension, I can't see the...2023-04-1019 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityHappiness Is Being BrokenWhat is true happiness to you? Is it an excited feeling or the presence of calm? When you're happy does it mean things are going your way and life is good? Or is there more to it...such as the idea that brokenness can bring on ever greater happiness? Real happiness - in a power sense - is the presence & awareness of peace of mind. For some, the belief that happiness should be ever-present is what brings more dark/lack thinking. When happiness eludes you, do you think there's something intrinsically wrong with you? Well, let me tell you, y...2023-04-0322 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityThe Creation of Greater FemininityAre you a confused modern woman like me? What type of energy do you as a woman express in your life? Do you doubt your femininity because you don't fit a mold of the traditional woman - but you don't know how to define what feminine means to you? The ultimate goal of the feminine, in all of our lives and society, is to infuse its deeply intuitive resourcefulness into more places that are imbalanced - no matter who we are and how our feminine expresses itself. This does not mean to give more positions of leadership to women...2023-03-2719 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityManipulating, Mitigating and Mastering MediocrityManipulation takes many forms, but why would we be trying so hard to manipulate our reality to be mediocre or stuck? There is a great force moving through the world to be yourself...express yourself...live how you wish. Personal expression is fantastic. What is challenging, however, is that people can't be the fullest expression of themselves if they don't know who they are. If you're seeking a goal but you don't know where you're going, it's easy to settle into mediocrity. And, mediocrity isn't about not being OK where you are. I know it's true that you must...2023-03-2019 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityWhat You Don't Know WILL Hurt YouWe all know about "What You DON'T Know Won't Hurt You", which means don't ask or seek to find out what other people are saying about you that may not feel good, because the aggravation isn't necessary. Let people say what they want when you're not around; you don't want it to drain your power. Yet, there are little things that you believe and don't question (traditions, beliefs, conditioning) that are laying under the surface of your consciousness and driving your behavior and your life - and you don't know they're there. Not coming to consciousness and understanding how...2023-03-1323 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityThe Deconstruction of BeliefsSo many of us are looking more closely at our beliefs - especially around culture and race. While we're looking for "answers", personal experience is causing many to feel defensive in their lack of understanding of broader issues. Then there are those who are certain they know the answer - and that there is a larger problem that is "someone else's" (probably those people who don't get it, or are being defensive). This energy is particularly curious for me because I want to know the thoughts, opinions and predominant beliefs of all those around me. We ARE different. How...2023-03-0621 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityThe ISMs & MeThe ISMs that I'm talking about here are those of sexism and racism. What I'd like to talk about here is how those structures in the world that create imbalance and powerlessness, but also how I am seeking balance and power as I show up as a woman and a white person and am trying to grow my own sense of personal power. As a caveat of explanation, I feel a strong sense of responsiblity in growing my power to understand what this dialogue looks like in the world and in systems and how that may be aligned or...2023-02-2722 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityWhy Is It So Important to Feel Stupid?When you debate - especially the more contentious modern day subjects - it is hard for anyone, once emotional, to hold their own. Debate, if you can be met, can be exhilirating, informing and convincing if you are capable of feeling stupid. Are you strong enough to see the loopholes in your own position? Are you capable of allowing the petty nature of your emotional insecurities to make you feel small and stupid...and to let it go? Passion about what you feel or your point of view is great, but when your emotions rule the communication, you may...2023-02-2020 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityLove As An Infinity PoolYour awakenings - when they first happen - are like new relationships. You're learning about yourself and expanding your capacity for gratitude and love. You're life feels exciting. Then things get routine, and maybe you get bored. THAT is when you should start serving others. When you serve others and share with them what happened to you and how, you RE-LIVE your awakenings while watching others wake up. You feel power as you see the light come on in people's eyes. You know the light burns strong, finding additional homes in more of your cells, which helps you heal...2023-02-1320 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityBreaking Away from "Normalcy"Normalcy, often correlated with tradition, can be an expectation. You go along, you fit in a box, you do what others did or are doing because...why wouldn't you? But if you wake up one day and discover that what's normal and helps you "belong" is now unattractive or scary, THEN what do you do? It's time to redefine normal by changing traditional expectations...of YOURSELF. However, when you break out, it's going to feel dark, lonely and even dangerous as your ego tells you to belong...to not stray too far. If you won't challenge yourself to think f...2023-02-0620 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityThe Greatest Prick of All TimeA prick of the heart can change your life without someone trying to change YOU. As a Boston friend said, "I'm gonna prick their haaahts" - which was a way to nudge or prod his children to take action, or "do the right thing." This prick is the puncture of a small idea into another person, WITHOUT pressing. It isn't about controlling other people. It is NOT about you knowing better what someone else should do. Rather, it is about planting a seed into becoming a small gut-feeling that cares or is connected to others. Someone's sense of responsibility...2023-01-3016 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityHow Experience Gives You PermissionWhen you came to realize who you are, you may or may not have accepted or liked what you realized. You asked if it reflected your ideals or values, which is when you also started to question your reality and experience something different. At that point your experience became your greatest teacher. You set in motion wheels of change from within and the world responded. Situations and experiences were mirrored toward your thoughts. Teachers of your goals start showing up that you can relate to because they are only slightly ahead on the path you wish to travel. In...2023-01-2321 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityBeing Free Of The Bondage Of OthersThe bondage of others is when someone says something - or poses a question - that makes you disturbed or propels you into over-thinking. In other words, you personalized their response to something you said, or you made up a general opinion they had about you. Certainly, people say things that make you think, or plant a seed of self-examination about your own dis/comfort level. SHOULD the things people say or [seem to] insinuate provoke you to question yourself? It's normal to be affected by your response to what others say. However, it's trying to find the parts...2023-01-1618 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityThe Mechanism of Our MadnessMadness, in our modern world, is doing things to each other that are disconnected and even harmful - with intellectual justification. We also insanely over-protect people from their own consequences by trying to remove or cushion their "bottoms" (aka breakthrough)--so they don't grow a willingness to change. Our relationships are peppered with back-biting and over-criticism, while talking unconditional love. Our hardness, fixed-firm lines and gaps between each other are all about "I'm right". But what does it all mean? Can we meet or understand each other in such madness? Yes. I don't have to win and humanity won't...2023-01-0919 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityThe Same But DifferentUnderstanding sameness means you find or connect with the things in you that you share with another. Being different means no matter how similar you are - in values, upbringing, etc. - there will still be things that have differed in your lives and experience. When something (job, relationship) fails due to these differences, it provokes a greater understanding of how to respect all sorts of other differences that may never make sense. If you are someone who likes order, organization and clarity, it may disturb you to find that when you look for similarities and stereotypes you still...2023-01-0319 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityThe Mountain of Most ResistanceThe world is plagued by mediocrity - people living to die in a state of absolute contemplation of nothing. The path of least resistance is a well-worn road, rife with depression, anxiety, stress and lack of fulfillment. Why? Because it's EASY. And people love easy. The problem is that easy is not IT. Easy is failure. Easy is lack. Easy forgets and deserts the connection you claim to want so bad but won't work for. As you barely plant seeds and don't water the plant, you wonder why nothing grows. BECAUSE THERE IS NO SUNLIGHT. Because you let no...2022-12-2813 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityThe Biggest Decision Of Your LifeNope, it ain't to take a new job, get married (or divorced), move or have children. It's TO LOVE. What makes it the most major decision is because the decision or choice to love creates the most amount of positive consequences. Making the decision to love is conscious and ideally balanced between logic and emotion. Many feel love is a feeling but it can also be very grounded in logic and sanity. A decision to love can produce a ripple effect of positive energy for you and others. Choice is so powerful because it clears away uncertainty and leaves...2022-12-1918 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityWhat It All Boils Down To Is--It Doesn't"What it all boils down to is __________" refers to extracting things down to their essential elements. Can this be done with people? Are we all similar when it comes to something like our values? It doesn't appear to be so. As someone who likes to figure things out and form scripts that could make it easier to understand how human beings tick, it has been virtually impossible to find a clear path through human behavior by examining values. Although I would still insist that people are motivated by the same needs, it's still difficult to match those needs to...2022-12-1220 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityThe Sword of Security ConsciousnessWhat is "security consciousness" and why is it a sword? We all know people who have no money but who are abundant and confident. On the flip side, there are wealthy people who live an emotionally empty existence. The Sword yields force...Consciousness is powerful...Security is abundance mindset. Much of the people I know who grew up without a lot of money often work hard but still don't feel secure financially, no matter how much money you/they make. Simply put, a security consciousness is necessary for the financial freedom most seek. It means that you choose to...2022-12-0519 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityThe LOVE Scorekeeping GameLet's be honest, love is - and never should be - about keeping score. But let's play with that anyway because sometimes we don't know what we know (or don't) about love. For me, consciously, LOVE is doing/being/becoming what you love. LOVE is everywhere all the time. LOVE is living in abundant manifestation. The (imaginary AND creative) scorekeeping system of LOVE I present here is creative food for contemplation... Love is about: TIME: if you want love, you give your time. I am a liar if I say "I love you" but won't give...2022-11-2817 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityWhen Your Experience Catches UP...Opinions these days are rampant. Even as I watch highly intelligent, sought-after speakers, authors and experts voice what is meant to be open-minded and tolerant, I hear the voice of opinion. Why is this? Because to be truly open-minded, it takes being completely in the experience of now and deciding how you're being. When one lives in the intellectual space too long and too exclusively, there is a lack of being that permeates an inability to go DEEP. Do you crave a better life? If so, have you come face-to-face with your need to be vulnerable - and how...2022-11-2118 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityThe WTF of What's HappeningYou're on the precipice of change and the fear and discomfort you're experiencing will prompt questions that you don't know how to answer. It's when WTF will be in your face that you'll have to seek solutions from a place of greater power. When you start to seek those answers, you may have a level of perfectionistic denial that makes it hard to see yourself. Your need for security actually prevents you from seeing what's happening. Logic won't serve you at this time - which is why WTF is the most prominent question. It means you're frustrated by the...2022-11-1419 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityAching for AutonomyIt's been said that Autonomy is a $$million-dollar$$ word. More clearly, it's invaluable to your self-esteem and overall well-being. If you weren't taught - or aren't cultivating - a powerful way of making up your OWN mind and evaluating what's happening to you without layers of stuck conditioning, then you're not truly free. You are, effectively, not yourself. Autonomous people have integrity. They know when to ask for your help. They thrive on examining circumstances logically, emotionally and intuitively to make decisions. Autonomy gives a person a sense of calm, thoughtful presence to self and others - something that...2022-11-0717 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityFacts of a Fiery & Fun-Filled FaithThere is a distinction between religion and faith. In this episode, and this subjective explanation, I'm speaking of a faith from inside and with acknowledgment of the greatest powers of all time. When the idea of a power greater than me was introduced to me as a way to make my life better, I was perplexed and afraid that I would become boring. I was certain that the end of my creativity and passion was near. Yet, what I found was that once I started to "Act As If" - by becoming active in a relationship of connection to...2022-10-3118 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityWhat, Exactly, Does Meaning Mean?Many people would say they are searching for meaning. At the very least, most are asking questions having to do with superficial meaning, such as "What does that mean?" or "What I meant to say was_______" What this tells us is that even though meaning is crucial to connection and understanding, once we travel deeper inward, meaning becomes very individual. So if meaning is perceptual and experiential, how DO we come to know each other, connect better and mean no harm? Well, this is where coaching comes into play. Examining contextual communicative meaning and what the deeper meaning of...2022-10-2420 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityWhy Ignoring Your Dreams Is Kicking Your Ass!Your dreams never were about mediocrity, but if you've been ignoring them, then your life probably is. When you sit in stuckness, you'll blame others for your lack of energy. When you fear risk and forget what you came here to be in this life, you learn to accept less. Somewhere along the way, life, the world, your family, etc. taught you to play it safe and forget about the higher heights of living. Yet your true purpose - AND more peace, contentment, love and abundance - are waiting on the other side of that blind spot. When you...2022-10-1718 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityThe Stye In Your Mind's EyeI equate blaming others and attacking things outside of you to "change the world" to trying to get rid of a stye. It has a process that is beyond what I think should be happening. Trying to force things to change - especially when you have your own mental blindness and limitations (aka "mental styes") - is like holding someone down with your foot and not letting them up until they submit to what you think should happen and how. Finger-pointing and frustration is as futile as trying to get rid of a stye before it's natural time. Any p...2022-10-1017 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityOpting-out of DiscordSome of you are so steeped in discord that it's become a way of life. Worse yet, you certainly cannot figure your own way out. Has it occurred to you that even though this state began with valid feelings, you don't realize that you do things to make sure that it continues to make you miserable? Your fear and your ego are dead-set on making sure your monthly mortgage is paid for this comfortable, dark silence. You don't see that there are ways your mind tells you it's safe. Yet, the more you pay rent on the darkness, the...2022-10-0416 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityHabits That Don't DieThere are things you've been struggling with that you want to work on. Maybe, though, you've been learning that even though this doesn't serve you, you can't seem to get rid of it. Some aspects of your personality won't budge in the face of persistence. If this happens and you're unknowingly seeking perfection, your frustration will increase. Then you'll get out the BIG guns. But it's not about the bigger blast, but - rather - how or where you shoot "the enemy". You might need to work on liberating yourself from your attachment to perfectionism before you can make a...2022-09-2614 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityThe Perfect MarriagePeople who have contentment of being are in touch with their minds and bodies at the same time. They LIVE from a knowing that is a marriage of all the nuances of being. Their intuitive connectedness has changed their attitude and their lives. This marriage is a development of finding self in what you think AND feel. The greater life that develops from this marriage lets go of limitations and then your spirit grows - and so does your life - despite your physical circumstances. Surrender to this marriage brings perfection of awakening daily while learning to make mistakes...2022-09-1919 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityThe Ghetto of Scare-CityIt seems amazing to me to continue - over many years - to hear the cries of unfairness and powerlessness again and again from women. There is much power to be gained by women participating in and changing things (like business) - but it can't be done before the greater need of self-change and inner focus. I fear that women still don't know how to find true purpose because their intuitions are still trying to find balance through the masculine. Power is not masculine OR feminine - it is the marriage of the two. It's the place where you...2022-09-1219 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityThe Grace (or Balls) to StandWhat does it mean to "stand"? It doesn't mean to do nothing, it means you just don't have to fight everything. Change what you can (you have power over only yourself), and then create a new experience and world through your own growth and actions. It takes courage to stand in principles that are fluid. Living according to "rules" (some of whih are only in your head) keeps you stuck and can make you feel worse as you try to control these rules, other people, and their adherence to these rules (from their OWN forms of control). Power over...2022-09-0513 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityIf You Walk Away, I Will NOT FollowWhat is it that makes one person like someone, and another NOT like that same person or thing? How much of our likes and dislikes - who or what we follow - is determined consciously in the moment, or by things within that we don't even question? Is your ability to make decisions solely from your own resources and autonomy, or have you become an unwillful follower of the "norm" instead of your own conscience? Your conscience, if you're like many these days, seems to be overrun with fear, insecurity, sometimes downright depression and panic. It's time to get...2022-08-2916 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityThe Fantasy of FeelingsHow do you know if your feelings are facts? I mean, if you "feel" them should you necessarily believe them? Is it possible that some of your feelings are attached to perceptions you've formed from denial or dishonesty? The world divides are currently being fueled by the "feelings are facts" and "your feelings don't matter" camps. There is truth in the middle of camp - around the fire where we break bread and learn to communicate. The ability to communicate is with ourselves first and then with others. If you can objectively immerse yourself in feelings that are separate f...2022-08-2212 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityHow to Debate Like You're NOT in High SchoolRemember the debate team where teams argued sides and HAD to win... Some of us are still acting like conversations where we disagree are about winning. You don't need to be right and you don't need to win. In fact, by focusing on changing another's point of view - especially when they can't or don't want to change, or hear you, will only create loss. Conflict is still communication and healthy communication is still two ways. If I can remain open-minded to other people's lifestyles and opinions - and my own - true freedom and greater awareness grows inside...2022-08-1515 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityKnowing When to _______________?The search for deeper meaning will come...it's inevitable unless you fight it. If you trust the natural process of conscious creation you don't have to fight for anything. It's all already there. So why are changes and challenges so difficult? Because the best and most intelligent of us subscribe to the God of the outer. Highly intellectual people live by the power of the brain and material things - which is never all there is. There is greater goodness, light, life and power available if you are just willing to open your mind to bigger ideas manifesting in...2022-08-0914 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityI'm Gonna Make that Light of Yours SHINELight is change that comes from your inner energy and belief in your own POWER. The lowest power is about your patterns of thinking and feeling that are prone to lack and ugliness. The highest power is about focusing your mind on expecting your most beautiful expression and vision. Whatever conditioning you have that makes you feel like you don't have light - or that darkness follows you - is about the way you think and how that magnetizes and manifests negative experiences. You must, through your power of choice, see the real and valid nature of GOOD. You...2022-08-0114 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityYou Can't Handle PeaceWe say we want peace, but are we creating it? Are we building a peaceful life from within? Are we willing to forego argument and dissension for the sake of more calm? Peace can be hard to find sometimes. Most think peace is a state of the world, but it's truly an internal state of mind and emotion. Can you handle more peace? What do you do when you have no drama and chaos? Are you able to sit and be still? Most would say no. Most wouldn't know how to find their way to the lightness of peace...2022-07-1914 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityUse Your Pain or Be Victimized By ItPain cannot be avoided, so when you try to fight it, it becomes more painful. Happiness should be pursued, but happiness is elusive. The return of pain - due to life, to you, to others - is inevitable. It is a part of life. If you face pain, it will evaporate (not instantaneously, but over time). If you avoid pain, it will return to bite you. Why is this? Because change is the supreme surrender. Without this type of deep DEEP surrender, without letting go of your self-help prescription, change will remain difficult to achieve - and an equal...2022-07-1217 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityWhy I Keep My Finger on the TriggerSimple daily interactions that provoke strong emotional reactions can be intimidating. It is, quite frankly, EASY to blame another person's actions or attitudes, for there is certainly lack of awareness in the world around us - and INSIDE of us too. In the realm of personal responsibility, there is, however, an education from the seeking within, one where the learning is always about YOU. So when an interaction derails an otherwise good day and you don't understand why - why your reaction was so strong, or why you had one at all - taking a deeper look...2022-07-0518 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualitySelf-Preservation, The Greatest MotivatorWe all do things that we want - and make excuses as to why. This is not because one is being negligent, it is becuase people, even the best of them, are motivated by self. Self, in and of itself, is not bad. It is a part of our entire wholistic being. The point is not to be full of self, or selfish, but to understand your own self-serving and self-preserving motivations. When you do this, you can learn not to judge yourself. As a result, you do not need to judge others. Everything, when peppered with neutrality is...2022-06-1620 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityThe Secret Virus of Sexual ShameYep - THAT subject. Sex. So personal. So secretive. Or, worse yet, shunned or, these days capitalized with an openness that is being portrayed as ideal. But IS it? How can we be truly open and free about sex if we attach so much shame to it. As we move out of a deadly flu virus, I would purport that the virus of sexual shame can also be as deadly - to our self-esteem, to our connections and to our next generation. If we don't actively participate in healing our sexual shameful wounds, it will be difficult to allow our...2022-05-3020 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityThe Predominance of LackWe've made such advances in our emotional and spiritual evolution and yet, when someone asked me during Women's History Month, what still concerned me for women, I said, "low self-esteem", which is another expression to describe Lack. Lack is in our conditioning - it's why some people succeed and others do not. Yet the world will tell you you haven't or can't succeed because someone or something with more power than you holds you back. No, my friend, YOU hold you back. The lack in your thinking, the fear in your body is what holds you back. We've seen...2022-05-0719 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityWell...HOW Did I Get Here?Feeling successful is about coming to terms with where you are, who you are and what's happened in your life to get you to this place - both good and bad. Without the necesary acceptance of life's circumstances and a strong belief in the power of good and love, your life will probably seem empty and you will feel stuck, no matter how much success you achieve. That's because your experience - how you got here - is neglected in favor of the chase of some "other/better" experience. Your life matters to other people who need to find...2022-05-0113 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityGive Someone the Gift of Acknowledgment"I can see why you would feel that way"... seems simple enough to say but that's not where a lot of conversations go naturally. Yes, we say we want to connect - to hear each other - but something clearly isn't working. What IS the problem? One could say ego, another would claim ignorance, others think it's a lack of empathy. I would say it's SELF. The strong, self-protecting ego cannot have us disagreed with, looking bad, sounding stupid, being wrong or NOT knowing. This is why the landscape of feelings is so slippery and grey. If you are...2022-04-2419 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityWave Goodbye to Blissful IgnoranceIgnorance used to be a way to avoid sometimes unpleasant things, or even just to stay on your own side of the street in an effort to be comfortable or compatible. Now, it's almost seen as somewhat critically unhealthy because you are not choosing to see things the way your friends do, or a "predominant" part of society does. The individual way of thinking is not as attractive at the same time one's ability to make up one's own mind is necessary for confidence. Power is in your accountabilty and self-mastery, which includes thinking for yourself. If you want...2022-04-1919 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityThe Foreign Language of I Don't KnowI KNOW, it's HARD to say "I don't know". It doesn't feel good. Maybe it doesn't promote the kind of connection you seek, where we all know and all agree - all the time. But Is that real? Probably not. Saying "I don't know" is downright humble. And humility - a true inner compass of integrity - is what we can all use more of. Without the ability to admit to not knowing, you cannot learn those things that counter your points of view and make you more whole. Without the open-mindedness of professing your ignorance, you cannot become truly...2022-04-0917 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityWhy It Is SO Impossible to Focus on OurselvesLet's face it, being responsible is not easy. It requires a perseverance and fortitude that is an enigma to many. Even with a desire to grow, a focus on anything else besides yourself may mean the contented usefulness you crave will elude you. Absolute joy comes from the courage of facing oneself in all its forms. Loving to and from the depths of one's conscious soul is a practice. It's not a homework assignment that is a one-and-done for which you get graded on the virtue of your accomplishment. The practice itself is what makes it perfect. The peace you...2022-02-2119 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityWaiting for the MomentWhile you sit in your feelings, the moment passes. When you judge others, the moment ceases to exist. As you passionately persist in your righteous thinking, the moment ends as your ego seeks reinforcement in the past. It's all so unnecessary as the truth and knowing you really seek is only in the stillness of NOW. Connection is based on your experience, open-mindedness and honesty. Yes, those things are cultivated by events of the past and your projections or vision of the future. Yet ONLY now do all things collide as one...being eternal, right and good. Think about...2022-01-3015 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityThe Original Sin in RighteousnessSin gets a bad rap...people think it's a toxic tradition of some religions. To me, it's actually a measuring stick for how I can be more powerful. There is NO right in me trying to convince anyone of what I believe. What I really want - what is really RIGHT is for me to dialogue to find foundational values for discussion. If I try to control what you think and how you feel, I will suffer. To alleviate suffering and create peace, I allow more space for other people to feel however they do. Being "right" is acknowledging a...2022-01-2916 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityBloated Isms That Blot Out Our HopeThere are way too many ISMs born of unequal power structures across the globe. We can recognize this because of the rising nature of those who have been powerless speaking up. This is GOOD because we are on our way to greater consciousness. However, on that road, there are bumps as people get stuck in victimhood that focuses on the imbalnces and stresses anxiously on needing things to change. Things change when we change - with power from within - which we all posses. 2022-01-2217 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityWhen You Don't Fit In, Go WithinThere probably never was a time when fitting in was NOT an issue for most people. These days it's even worse. This is so because even though people are adaptable, the world has become a place of much stronger and further apart sides. So, imagine you're an extroverted and healthy person who enjoys having friends and who makes up her own mind. You'll probably find that, as most people align with what's easiest, you may feel more out-of-sorts. But with real power, it doesn't have to MATTER AT ALL.2022-01-1918 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityUniversal Reliance as a Gateway to PeaceIt's become SO easy to rely on systems & ideas that are not tested and true, or are constantly changing. Despite the struggles we experience when thees systems or people fail us, we return only to have them fail again. We accept feelings of love, but shun feelings of wellness that don't correlate with the worldwide word pandemic. We need a change to what we rely on. Life and nature change - surrender to that. The greatest POWER that you can rely on is inside you. Start digging toward your brightest future.2022-01-1414 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualitySometimes the Answer is The Next QuestionThere are answers everywhere and for everything. People think they can change/re-arrange their lives in 1-2 days by asking one question. Yet answers from Mama Internet are often manifestations of self-will from empty people who do not know how to ask the questions of the soul. Being with yourself, examining what you believe and probing how you think - those actions bring answers. Ask questions that will bring you to the next question, or person who can help. Be disciplined and follow the path home.2022-01-1018 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityThe Wake Up Call of FearWhile we wait for the next catastrophe, POWER also waits - behind all that is happening - to show us more. We only need get out of the way to see and use it. The belief necessary to overcome the destructive nature of worldly things starts inside the human body - a phenomenal feat of nature that survived crazy obstacles to come into existence in the first place. I'm talking about YOU. The power that got you here is also there to get you (and us) out of the mud we're stuck in. Time to wake up to that...2022-01-0814 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityI Teach People How to Be Themselves"Who ARE You?" I ask, and you provide your status, position in family or the world. But are you really touching upon what matters about you? Have you fearlessly explored who you were before your experiences gave you references? "BE yourself" is a modern aspiration, but too many find it hard to accomplish due to constant need for approval. There is more to your existence and the path that is here for you to be the greatest version of yourself. It lies in this moment and beyond. Get TO it by being present.2022-01-0715 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityIn the Darkness of Our ApartnessLife can sometimes feel bleak. No one would deny a pervasive negative energy that just won't go away. We NEED this energy - because it's part of nature. It will show us the way to something better - if we let it. Darkness is part of us and its manifestation exists because we are a part of the universe. When disconnection feels rampant, we need to look harder for ways to feel PART of something...connected. When you examine your darkness, you'll likely just find a boogeyman - and a little more enlightenment. 2022-01-0416 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityA New Dawn for the Not-Enough NeophyteEverywhere I look, I see the re-birth of an insecurity-filled sense of not-enough. Not smart enough. Not beautiful enough. Not compassionate enough. It's full of vapid judgement rooted in the fear of not knowing who you are. Power comes from an introspective and full sense of self - not what you look like or how much money you have. All around, the God of materialism and externalization of self-esteem is showing itself to be the fantasy it always WAS. KNOW thyself...and don't judge anyone until you do.2022-01-0316 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityThe True North of HonestyIf I asked just about anyone if they thought themselves honest, they'd say "YES!" and they'd know they were lying. Because honest is not just "I don't lie" - a true north of honesty is that I don't lie to MYSELF. And who can say that? What IS it that measures how honest you are? It's YOU. No one or nothing else. The problem is most people's honesty gauge is malfunctioning due to lack of awareness and self-centered fear telling you it's OK to be dishonest - especially when it's for the Good of ALL.2022-01-0214 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityBody Neutrality: The Path to Peace & ProgressAre you entering conversations trying to insure that you don't look stupid? Are you afraid you'll have nothing to say to defend yourself...when you don't HAVE to? Power in communication is in neutrality that can be felt in your emotions and your body. It is calm between what you believe and how capable you intrinsically ARE--not having to dominate any space with everything you KNOW about how the world works and how to fix it. Be present to be powerful for the kind of progress that leads to real peace. 2021-10-2522 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityThe Cure of Pure ConvictionConviction, is not against, but FOR the rightness of what you believe in. It may seem to be too fixed, but what I'm seeking, in truth, is a demonstration which can be a beacon for people to be who they are. Being who you are means being present, aware and free. Distractions in our current world are so pervasive that people have become convicted in a too-closed and destructive way. Let's get back--through power and responsibly--to those personal convictions arising from values, openness and living healthy.2021-10-2016 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityTime to Change...Unconditionally and PowerfullyEveryone wants the world to change tomorrow. That task would be easy if you were willing to change yourself first. What that means is that each person takes it upon him/herself to find the places where they are stuck. Each person finds ways to move energy ... creating catharsis and metamorphosis in their own body, before thinking it's in their power to change the world. Digging deeper down IN YOU is the path to enlightenment. It's time to change the inside to gain the power needed for your life's mission.2021-10-1916 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityThe Intolerable "Virtues" of Perfectionism, People-Pleasing and PlacatingHow peaceful IS your life...truly? Are you creating problems by trying to be perfect? Do you spend too much time thinking about what other people think of you? When we don't do what's needed to find the power to live from true integrity and strong connection to our virtues, we feel lost no matter how purposeful our efforts to connect with others. It's about a peace and acceptance that can't be found in your head and in trying to be perfect or try to make everyone like you. THAT is a life worth living!2021-10-1617 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityLet Freedom Fire Desire So Your Voice Can SoarWithout freedom there is no real autonomy to be able to do what makes one happy. Freedom cannot be obstructed without one's desire being affected negatively. Once you understand that you are ALWAYS free...that desire and vision are directing your life, your voice will not have the most powerful affect on others. Grow YOU so you can elevate others through your OWN example. Desire of this kind creates BIG change. Passion and enthusiasm comes from an energy that is alive inside you. Find your voice there. 2021-10-1217 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityFoundation+Expansion = GROWTHYour dream is to be light years ahead of where you are. But you have no foundation and, worse, you can't even be in the moment, so when you get "there", you'll miss the achievement - and won't be happy - because you'll seek the next "there". If you pursue success with empty motives, it will be fleeting. Money is a finite measurement of abundance. True growth and lasting success is built from a foundation of power and an inner core of security. It's never lost because it's not a feeling...it's a knowing. 2021-10-0815 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityBulls Charge Vegetarians Too!Your diet is what you consume, not what you are made of. Why this clarification on what kind of matter you are? Because people tend to think if they change what they consume, or how they express themselves, that a "bull" (or anything coming at them) will see them as different than who they are. Who you are expresses itself. Changing yourself won't stop misunderstanding or negative responses. We don't control the world and its actions. POWER is controlling ourselves and being who we want to be. 2021-10-0716 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualityBOLD RESPONSIBILITY - A DeclarationWe keep talking about responsibility because it's so fundamental to vision and growth. Without owning your life in a responsible way, you'll be limited - in overcoming adversity, in feeling joy and in being successful. What DOES "being responsible" mean? HOW are we responsible? In this episode, we'll talk about being bodily, mentally and emotionally responsible. We'll come to accept the truth that responsibility leads to right action. And right action is what will determine your level of accomplishment.2021-10-0417 min

FROM THE Nth POWER: A Path to Rational SpiritualitySuper-Calli-FRAGILE-Istic BeingsSuper...Beautiful...Fragile? Fragility is superbly beautiful in its purest form, such as when we are vulnerable yet confident, when we are in touch with ourselves and can meet others. These days, we are seeing fragility - in too many instances - as a weakness in form. Fragility when lacking in power is an attachment to ignoring the truth. It is a victim state that requires more security from others than is due anyone. Humanity comes with the acknowledgement of just how super-crazy resilient we really are.2021-10-0116 min
