A Quest for Well-Being

— Some minimalists sell everything and live as nomads, owning only the things they can carry with them. Some live in and own homes, have one or two cars, and collect things like stamps or magnets or funny comic strips. Many live between these two categories. Minimalism is a lifestyle that can be tailored to what works for you and those you live with. It is much more than buying and owning less. It's about refocusing life to gain the freedom that comes from more time, more energy, and more financial resources. It's about focusing on what matters most.

Valeria Teles interviews Becca Ehrlich — the author of "Christian Minimalism: Simple Steps for Abundant Living."

Becca Ehrlich is an ordained pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) living in Philadelphia, PA. She blogs about minimalism from a Christian perspective and shares inspiration and encouragement to live a more minimal life.

— "Living a life with no fear and recognizing that death is an illusion, makes it worth it."

The nature of ultimate reality can only be understood when looking from its own viewpoint. That is to say, one's conditioned perspective of reality must be put aside.

The simplest explanation is to consider that one's life in the world and universe has the characterization of a dream. Into this dream, each dreamer is born. To the dreamer, the world and universe have the appearance of being real. The dreamer takes himself to be real, and therefore the world and universe this person is "in" to be real. The dreamer "knows" that he has "come into" this life, therefore at some point he will "go out" of life. The dreamer "knows" that although he will die, the world and universe and fellow dreamers will persists after his death; that the dream will continue when the dreamer no longer exists.

None of this is so. When the dreamer ceases to be, the dream ceases to be. Only within the dream is it a legitimate question to ask, "How then can life and the world and universe be?" Any answer would entail the processes of time, space and cause—and—effect. Such processes occur only within the dream itself. Therefore, any answer will be an answer within the unreal dream.

The point is that all that is apparent to the dreamer is simply that: an illusory appearance. What appears to be real or actual is not the same thing as what is real or actual. What is actual, is ultimate reality. Ultimate reality can be characterized as empty; no-thing or nothingness.

Valeria Teles interviews Loncen Gray — a Certified Professional Integrative Coach and Speaker.

Loncen Gray is a Certified Professional Integrative Coach, he combines his knowledge skills and experience into a unique offering to help creative leaders work through challenges and carve a path towards their desires. He takes an integrative approach to development, utilizing movement, games, and immersive techniques to help experience shifts in perspective, and become more self generative. He enjoys exploring a diverse set of interests and finding ways to combine them into new offerings.

Loncen Gray is committed to his Vision which is to foster deep transformational experiences for individuals and groups, helping them to live their truth. His story has a lot to do with integrating power, freedom, and a healthy self image. At a young age, he didn't know what it was like to have a sense of power. There was a skewed version traveling through his lineage, only to end up on his door step. Loncen's dad was a rather intensely scary individual. This made it rather difficult to embody, let alone understand what a healthy sense of power was. Through his early years, he learned to be subservient to not rock the boat. He also did a lot of spiritual bypassing as he swore he would never be like him. For years, he managed to avoid difficult emotions, choosing instead to swallow the grenade. It worked until he came across the right relationship that brought up all the things he was avoiding. For the first time in his life, he started to experience rage filled outbursts. At the time he didn't know that he could experience emotions without having to act on them. he would often lose control screaming at the top of my lungs when he felt violated. This was always followed by feelings of guilt and shame, with lots of self-judgment. Today he's in a much different place. He is experiencing what true power is, which is the power of directed focus and choice. While experiencing a true sense of sovereignty and personal authority.

— The reality is, from a young age I started building the idea of this perfect human based on what I had seen, been taught, read, and heard and just allowed it to get more complicated over time. Once we reached the age of social media, it got a lot worse. What I learned was nobody is perfect. Because I spent so much time beating myself up about my life choices, I lost sight of all of my admirable qualities. I've learned to ask for feedback and appreciate the opportunities for growth provided through those conversations. What matters is that you are continually to work on being the best person you can be and treating yourself, and others, with kindness every step of the way.
