I made a commitment to a close friend that I will write a new post to my blog each week at least for a while to share my truth, to express my heart, and to serve the greater good. I was immersed and inspired during the recent Revelation Conference hosted by Agape, with a variety [...]

What stops you from living full out, dropping self-interest, instead living your purpose and bringing your gifts into the world? You (well, not you of course, but perhaps someone you know) have many reasons and choices for not being all you can be, including the following: Fear of being noticed Fear of failure Fear of [...]

“I can’t afford to.” “I don’t have time.” “I am too busy.” “It’s not my thing.” If you have said any of these before (and I have too), get a clue! “I don’t know what your destiny will be, but one thing I do know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are [...]
38 into 16*: Adventures in House-Sitting. Lesson 5: Flexibility

Looking back over these past months, a fundamental skill I have honed over this time has been my ability to be flexible, not simply in the physical plane about housing accommodations, but perhaps more importantly flexible on the mental plane. Having flexible thinking kept me adaptable, willing and nimble. It is truly the core of [...]

The first and most prevalent trap we get caught up in, particularly in Los Angeles, and most of the Western World is STATUS. Another way of putting it is we are trapped in the addiction of COMPARISON. Let me explain. Status is an interesting aspect of the Western way of life. It is probably the cornerstone of [...]
Second Trap That Can Get You Stuck In A Career You Hate! (Part 3 of 4)
By Barry on May 16, 2012 in blame, calling, human, judge, judgment, purpose, reaction, Relationship, soul, spirit, trap, victim
Again, these traps are equally impactful, and the order is somewhat unscientific! Let’s get to it. It is so tempting in this life to do what gets us by in our everyday lives. How many times have you made the choice to not do something risky or challenging or that may change your status quo? [...]
Third Trap That Can Get You Stuck In A Career You Hate! (Part 2 of 4)
By Barry on May 16, 2012 in blame, calling, judge, judgment, purpose, reaction, Relationship, soul, spirit, trap, victim
Honestly, these three traps are not graded by intensity or survey preference. The trap (or traps) you recognize for yourself may be in a different priority order than mine. The information, awareness, and resolution, however, are not dependent on the order! I just chose to write them in reverse order subjectively! So let’s get started. [...]
Are You Answering The Call? Are You Embracing Your Soul’s Purpose? (Part 1 of 4)
I’ve been embracing my own calling this year more than ever, and finding some interesting hurdles and potholes along the way that sometimes slow and sometimes accelerate my progress. I’ve led my own workshop once in August, and scheduled it again recently, however with no attendance, I postponed it. I have been pondering what stops [...]
