There is no universal truth. There’re only levels of truth. The world looks different when you look at it with different eyes. And as your consciousness evolves, what often happens is that what was truth to you yesterday will no longer be so tomorrow. It doesn’t mean you were wrong. It just means your container, your lens, has changed. Take, for example, the pseudo-spiritual concepts of “karma” and “law of attraction”. Are they true? Well,…
The Universe is organizing a collective shift of consciousness that’s being delivered in the form of a global pandemic. The shift means different things to different people. But one thing for sure is that all of us take part in it. This collective shift brings many blessings, though many of them may not look like blessings. For example, the mandatory self quarantine and social distancing is in fact an externally enforced opportunity to go within…
Is Santa Claus real? Before you rush to a yes or no, stop for a sec. This question actually has no simple binary answers, because it’s a very ambiguous question. Santa Claus may not exist in the same way that your friends and families exist. But he surely exists in our collective consciousness. In that sense he’s both real and unreal, depending on how you look at reality, which is itself an ill-defined term. Now,…
I’m sure you’ve heard of the adage “feel the fear and do it anyway”. The idea behind is a sensible one. If you’re afraid of doing something as it’s out of your comfort zone, you should push through the fear and get the thing done. It’s good for your growth. The typical self-help mindset sees procrastination and hesitance to action as a problem. If your fear is standing in your way, you should analyze what…
Last week I caught up with an old friend whom I haven’t seen for many years. After briefing each other on how things had been, it was clear that how we had lived life couldn’t be more different from each other. At one point my friend mentioned a difficult career choice of his. I told him how I’d go about it. And my friend said: “Well that’s too idealistic. You think you can just have…
What percentage of your body are you occupying? That may sound like a strange question. But in fact, most of us are not fully present in our body most of the time. And when someone is not present, you feel it. Though ironically they themselves don’t ever take notice. Empathic beings tend to occupy less of our body– because everything seems so overwhelming on earth. When someone says you have an “ethereal” quality about you,…
Over the past year I’ve been called to become increasingly non-busy. My activity level has been going down, while I spend more and more time in quiet nothingness. But here’s the thing. Although I’ve been doing less, my output–the amount of my intellectual and creative production–has not decreased. A part of me felt guilty. If you had been raised by workaholic parents who use activity as the panacea for all ills of life, you’d feel…
I’m a huge fan of the Disney movie Frozen when it first came out in 2013. Last week, Frozen 2 was released in theatres. As of yesterday afternoon, I already watched it three times (Don’t judge. I have justifications!) A fairytale like Frozen is highly symbolic– it represents an archetypal story of a certain aspect of human existence. And the archetype of Frozen’s heroine, Elsa, is one that’s particularly instructional to any empathic badass, or…
When we keep acting out of the programming stored in our “local storage” (i.e. our physical and energetic body), which rarely updates, we stop growing. Or worse, we let past traumas and negative experiences define our present behaviors. Healing involves doing something to your existing programming. And generally there’re three things you can do: Edit / rewrite the programming Change your relationship with the programming, so that it doesn’t get activated as much Remove the…
Change is an uncomfortable business. Evolution = Change on the most fundamental scale. Consciousness evolution = Change on the most fundamental scale to how your human system processes, stores, and uses information. So it’s no wonder that consciousness evolution is probably one of the most cognitively uncomfortable things you’d ever experience. That’s why many of us can feel so disoriented, confused and pained in the process of so-called spiritual awakening (read: consciousness evolution with a…
It’s not an accident that many so-called charismatic leaders are narcissists. After all, leadership requires an unwavering conviction in your own vision of the world. And the inability to empathize with others makes it easier to be unwavering in whatever you believe in. Except such leadership does not often steer the world into a better place, for obvious reasons. In contrast, visionary leadership is often challenging for empathic light beings who have not taken the…
Imagine for a sec that you’re a baby penguin, but you don’t know that you’re a penguin– because you grow up in a chicken coop. You have chicken parents, chicken friends, and chicken school teachers. Everyone of them tells you that you are one of them and you’re expected to behave accordingly… …until one day a realization dawns on you that you’re in fact not a chicken, that you’re actually something else entirely though you…
Confusion is a state that the mind desperately tries to get out of, as soon as it finds itself in it. Shock is often times our first response to any unexpected incidents, trauma and loss in life. And then there’s the inevitable question of “why did this happen to me”, and it’s spiritual variation– “why did God let this happen”.What we often do not see is the layered truth about confusion. The disguised blessing it’s…
The wants and desires of your human self are the “plotting device” of life to propel continuous actions from you on your hero’s journey. However, your goals and desires, at any point in time, speak little about your true highest potential, as the mind is wired to focus on what’s right in front of us, and has limited vision about what your life can be. We don’t know what we don’t know. (How many times have…
Have you ever had the feeling that you have so much potential, yet you don’t know how to “get there”? If you have, consider it a nudge from your soul that calls you to align with your highest destiny.When it comes to the “highest potential”, most people think of it as worldly achievements– become the President, win the Oscar, break the world record of pepperroni pizzas eaten in one single hour…While those goals are all…
When you’re highly empathic, the negative energies in the world may feel a hundred times more overwhelming to you than to an average person. The uninitiated takes this sensitivity as a weakness and a burden. But to the empathic warrior on a path of consciousness evolution, this special trait is in fact a blessing to help you expand your personal freedom and become a stronger force of light in the world.You see, it works exactly…
When the mind is in charge of making decisions for you, everything you do is a means to an end. Yet you’d never find the “end”. It’s something outside the domain of the mind. So when you reach a seeming end, you always realize that it’s still just a means to some other end.In contrast, when your decision making is driven by an intuitive connection with the Source, the things you do are always for…
Most humans are a product of their lineages. Whether you receive the gifts and limitations of their lineage through “nature” or “nurture”, the pack of scripts (human softwares) that get passed down from generation to generation has a huge influence on who you think you are. For many, many people that actually define who they are and how they behave entirely– they’re a collection of scripts being handed down from the collective, covered by a…
When people tell me about their experience of going through intense periods of inner transformation, it typically includes side effects like these: Overwhelm, depression, frustration, spaciness, lack of drive, lack of focus, chronic exhaustion, mood swings, trouble sleeping. There are many reasons why you may be experiencing some of these symptoms. But not all of these reasons are spiritual or mystical. In fact, there’s a very basic reason for these side effects that applies to…
