Sin 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 and, sometimes, pulling back. The bulls eye is connection.

There 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.

It'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.

There 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.

While 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 POWER.

"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.

Life 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.

Everywhere 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.
