Enlightenment creates the power to respond effectively to the adversities you face in your life. One of the master skills of the enlightened being is to create meaning that is empowering. I call this skill Recontextualization. Recontextualization is the skill of describing the conditions and circumstances in a way that create an empowering reality for you. Very simply… If you’re going to make things up, you might as well make things up that feel good. Be honest with yourself. You don’t know what happens after you die. Everything that you know is a likely story. It is something that somebody…
To achieve and maintain enlightened states of consciousness, you must be able to identify what degrades your enlightened state and then reorient your life to eliminate or mitigate it. Conversely, you must identify and embrace enlightened perspectives so that they influence your daily experience, cause your mind to go quiet and help you see that we are all one thing expressing itself with infinite variety. That is a tall order, my friend. A teacher will help. Meditation can help. But I’ve found that muscle testing accelerates the entire process, creating what I call Rapid Enlightenment. I use to believe that…
More people are becoming enlightened beings than ever before. Yet, there is so much dogma about being enlightened.

But I am a troublemaker. I’m more like a hooligan. I break the spiritual rules. I challenge the cultural status quo. I don’t believe in the dogma or follow the conventions. I believe in oneness and that disrupts most traditional types.” I called Kristen up that day (She lived in Seattle at the time) and I said, “I…

Enlightenment is very misunderstood. Like most things spiritual, it is mired in dogma. For most people, it seems to be stuck in an old paradigm somewhere between ancient eastern mysticism and new age spirituality. The fact is, enlightenment is not a religion or even a set of practices. It’s not a place or an outcome. No group has a claim to it. There are many paths to achieving it. There is not a right or a wrong way to experience enlightenment. Enlightenment is essentially a paradigm shift. It is simply a perspective or an inner knowing that once attained, changes…
How do you know if you are on the path to experiencing enlightenment in your daily life? Sometimes its hard to tell because there aren’t that many people committed to enlightenment. I want to share 11 tell-tale signs with you so that you can be encouraged and inspired to continue on your path to enlightenment. From my perspective, in our purest state, we are happy. Joy flows through us. Life is simple. Then we ‘grow up.’ It’s difficult to maintain the enlightened state with so much negativity in the world. Up until recently, the idea of being in an enlightened state…
