As an infant you come into the world with boundless awareness, you experience everything as “I.” Your integrated consciousness knows and loves everything, even your own feces.

Allowing
Have you ever wished that someone else could be different? Do you sometimes know what’s best for them and that everything would be better if only that person would change? Well, it happens to all of us. We get an idea of how the world should be and we impose this viewpoint on anyone who …
Honesty
Have you ever met a completely honest person? What would that person even be like? A completely honest person would communicate exactly what they’re experiencing—their thoughts, feelings, dreams, and fantasies. If this level of intimacy sounds frightening to you, then you’re in good company. All of us have thoughts and feelings we judge inappropriate and …
Competition and Cooperation

Create Alignment!
Have you ever watched a colony of ants at work? Their lives are focused on keeping their queen well-fed, sheltered and comfortable. Each day, they tirelessly set out to find food for her.

Each of us, by focusing our attention on wellness and personal growth, have helped to create this thriving community. A community can be defined as “a unified body of …
Judgment
What is it about other people that drives you crazy? Do dishonest people make you angry? Do slow drivers make your blood boil? Examine your likes and dislikes and you’ll discover how you have defined yourself. By labeling someone as “cruel” you define yourself as “not-cruel.” When you define another as “boring” you define yourself …
Imagination
Our society is rediscovering it’s most valuable resource. This resource never runs out, it creates no pollution, it can be found in unlimited abundance, and it is available to every person on the planet. This resource is the human imagination. Successful organizations understand that their assets lie not in a bank, or a warehouse, but …
Intuition
Welcome to the Age of Consciousness! Unlike in the Sixties when higher states of consciousness were explored by youthful hippies, the Nineties are characterized by a mainstream interest in yoga, meditation, personal growth, alternative medicine, and metaphysics. I think you’ll agree that it is fascinating to experience our civilization waking up to its greater potential. …
