I am discovering that knowing and believing are two separate things. Knowing comes from within. It's the truth residing in your own flesh and bones. Believing is an act of your conscious mind. It is a mental choice, influenced by endless external factors. When your knowing and believing are not in alignment, you will experience … Continue reading The Difference Between Knowing and Believing

When Divine Meets Human
There are many reasons to be happy and many reasons to be unhappy. I'm still hormonal crazy lady half the time, easily triggered and still sensitive as fuck. But when I'm good these days... I'm REALLY good. The shifting was intense, and the rewards are immense. I promised to myself that if I ever got … Continue reading When Divine Meets Human
Wherever You Are, You Are Here
There's nothing wrong with living in the past or in the future. There's nothing wrong with failing to (or choosing not to) "be here now" in the present. Is the present moment more enlightened than your past experiences or your fantasies of the future? How could we possibly know? And this assumes that there really … Continue reading Wherever You Are, You Are Here
The Fear of Burning
I think a lot of women carry the ancestral memory of witch burnings. We don't consciously remember it, but somewhere in our cellular memory is the remembrance that women with gifts of healing were routinely tracked down and burned as heretics by the Church, which was the "scientific" institution of the day.

Perhaps it was one of those rare moments of divine interruption, when the guidance you … Continue reading Burning the Past

Many of us worship our Bibles more than we worship God. We worship our ideas about God that we've formulated through our interpretations of the Bible. The … Continue reading Do You Worship God Or Your Beliefs About God?
Beloved Children of God
Your belief in Jesus does not save you. Jesus saves you. Not your belief. Salvation is not a product of your mind. Your ability to believe or not believe (or struggle to believe) in the power or person of Jesus has no bearing on your salvation. I can refuse to believe in the sun. But … Continue reading Beloved Children of God

Non-dualism and Spiritual Bypassing are NOT the Same Thing
If your takeaway from non-dualism is that your feelings, desires, and experiences are irrelevant or even a hindrance to enlightenment or a fulfilling life, then you don't understand non-dualism.
Where Hope Begins
If we want true lasting change, we need to ask the deeper questions and break free of the polarization that has enslaved and hindered us.
