A few people have told me about spiritual teachers or personalities who have said that Trump is a light being, doing light being work, and what do I think about that … so here’s what I think about that. (Maybe don’t get hung up on an idea before reading all the way through.) Everyone isContinue reading “Hate Cannot Drive Out Hate”

Energy Flows Where Attention Goes
Interrupt worry, gently and persistently. Interrupt your imagination’s pictures of futures that don’t exist yet and may never. Introduce a memory of beauty, a possibility of laughter, rest, or fellowship.

Energy flows whereContinue reading “Energy Flows Where Attention Goes”
Ability to Respond: Responsibility
Any fool can wreck things. It takes insight, care, patience, and wise attention to create things. It’s much harder to do, which may be why foolish people end up avoiding it.

A more valuable question is often,Continue reading “Why or How, Which Is The Question?”
Look What I Made
I’m thinking about ways that we create experiences in our lives and then fear or misinterpret what we’ve created. A few years ago a friend of mine was saying over and over that he wanted a year off work. As the office went through changes and became unbearable, he talked about quitting before he gotContinue reading “Look What I Made”
How to Live Our Lives (or You’re Asking Me?!)
I’ve had a few emails from readers of Application of Impossible Things, asking me if I have advice for “how to live our lives.” This is, at first glance, an alarming question to me. Why are they asking me?! Everyone’s life is their own, and I sincerely believe that each individual knows or can knowContinue reading “How to Live Our Lives (or You’re Asking Me?!)”
