New Age has been infiltrated. For some time now. A quick scan through The Guru Papers will show just how rampant the spiritual hijacking is in the consciousness community. It’s not uncommon for a woman to have recollection of some man sitting on the meditation cushion preaching high concepts to a group, only …
The fall season is near. Also called autumn. We can observe the changes. Cooler temperatures. The trees lose their leaves. General energetic quietude. It’s a contemplative season that invites us to go inward. Intensified thinking. More acute sensing. It’s a harvest season. Like every season, each carries particular energies and patterns we …
One of my event attendees [Goal Set 2020] wrote about her experience at the workshop. It’s an admirable quality to me, when someone is driven enough to immediately reflect on an experience, put the logic to practice, and processes the emotional content that may have come through. Software developer Karolina …
Questions reflect a mind’s height. Questions are arrows, a cognitive tool to direct focus. Answers are targets, formed based on a question’s quality. The Q — a circle with a line running through it. The line is the symbol for direction, being willing to step outside of a loop that …
Part of the recent Goal Set 2020 workshop involved distilling intent. If we think of a general distillation process, we’re stripping some substance of the extra layers to reveal its essence. Get to the “heart of the matter,” some may say. “Strip it down to its root,” others might say. Give me “the …
The Yoga of Time Travel was a text I read several years ago about the nature of not just time, but how Time as an experience and force exists and can be worked with in the mind. Fred Alan Wolf’s knowledge isn’t new; the old wisdom from before the Atlanteans …
Don’t be fooled by the title; nothing in the world is truly free. Energetically, there’s always an exchange. In the case of these resources, the trade will be your attention, focus, your intelligence and commitment to utilize what’s provided. The current pandemic is slowing the economy down and keeping people …
So you’ve done your homework. You found a list of 10 companies you want to apply to. The job descriptions look too good to be true and you could see yourself growing with the brands. Is it a dream? It is until you make this one move. You decide to …

To be professional is to maintain a level of conduct that produces positive outcomes for all parties involved. This is how we build credibility. When we think of professional development, often …
How Important Are Years of Experience (YoE) in a Job Posting? Like education requirements, this is an area for revision. Quantitatively, this is the amount of time a person has been immersed in a space. If John Doe has 3 years of experience, it can mean he’s been “in the …
Imagine yourself at a networking event. There you are, dressed in your best professional clothes because that’s what the advertisement suggested on Meetup.com. You’re standing at the front entrance. It’s about 45 minutes after the event started; you didn’t want to be the absolute first one to walk in without …
Strategic planning is at the core of career reputation management. Preparation. Positioning. Thinking not just of how circumstances are now but how they can be in the future. How a professional intends to direct that future. This connects quite conveniently to the knowledge of time in metaphysics, which proposes that …
