A lot of us are dealing with so many changes and stresses, unparalleled in our lifetimes, I believe we've subtly (or not so subtly) become so self-absorbed that we are drastically losing our level of presence, to ourselves and others. We're not awake enough. It's getting to the point where this individual and collective self-absorption, along with our intense levels of fear - the fears up front and the ones that we keep trying to deny - renders us unable to even look at our brothers or sisters around us from a true sensitive & empathetic enough place.

A perspective on Mothers, birth and other-wise, that is too easily forgotten, shared as I think of the Mother who I DIDN'T get to spend Thanksgiving with.

My mental wanderings went from the topic of "Why do people expect something for nothing in the personal development realm?" to wondering how often people unconsciously apply this same line of thinking and sense of entitlement towards Spirit Itself.

Transcendence is one of the greatest gifts of possibility that we are given by the Divine through being put in a human existence. This is an impulse that the human spirit, at its fullest, can't help but do...it's just a matter of whether we allow it with grace, or if we go kicking and screaming into denying it, fearing it, and avoiding it.

Geoff shares some ideas on how to recognize when you're in denial, when you're not, and how to make Spiritual lemonade from waking up out of denial.
