“Man’s mind stretched to a new idea, never goes back to its original dimension.”

—Oliver Wendell Holmes

 Accept it or not, recent events show that we are more separated than ever.

And how can that not be the case if we’re resonant beings? We resonate with all the energetic vibrations we have been and continually are exposed to.

 The world we perceive as material and immaterial is, subatomically, energetic and without borders. If we cannot perceive it this way, that’s because our perceptions ...

“There is an inmost center in us all where truth abides in fullness.”

—Robert Browning

We live in such confusing times today that, for many, discerning what is truth and what is not can be a real challenge. And how can that not be the case when the line between truth and lies is becoming murkier every day?

Misleading by “telling the truth” has become an evident pattern, to such a great extent that a new term has recently been employed by psychologists to describe it—paltering. Paltering is...

“In the global society we live in today, we are interdependent — we all depend on each other. Therefore, it is no longer appropriate to divide the world into ‘us’ and ‘them.’ We need to think of everyone belonging to one humanity.”

— His Holiness the Dalai Lama

In today’s world, it can feel like everywhere we look we find disharmony and uneasiness. We may disapprove of the friction, words, attitude, and divisiveness of what people say, which can feel disheartening. The good news is that the...

“All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands over our eyes.”

 —Frederic W. H. Myers

 Maybe you’re not aware, but at this exact moment, you are living a default life. The repetitive acceptance and rejection of others’ ideas, beliefs, behaviors, and so on have set your resonance on default, just like in a computer program. The problem here is that, on default, we’ll keep running in circles and repeating the same old stories that bring about the same resonance...

“A human being is a part of the whole called by us the universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole...

In addition to the pandemic and all the uncertainty we’ve had to live in regard to our health and economy, now we also have to deal with lack of leadership! I don’t know if the same thing happens to you, but the fights between members of the Senate, the continuous judgment and polarization of the leaders of the political parties, the aggressiveness and violence throughout our streets, and social media networks for social injustice make me question our current models of leaderships. In the world ...

“Boundaries are illusions, products not of reality but of the way we map and edit reality.” —Ken Wilber

Some 7.8 billion people inhabit our planet. And by the time you read these lines, there will be more. Six continents, 192 countries, and around 50,000 cities and 2.5 million small towns and villages comprise this word—each divided subsequently into different communities, such as families, religions, cultures, genders, and political inclinations, who share common activities and so on. That’s 7...

“If your mind is empty, it is always ready for anything. It is open to everything. In the beginner’s mind, there are many possibilities; in the expert’s mind, there are few.” —Shunryu Suzuki, Zen teacher

Separation, in the form of inequality and discrimination, has come to the fore of our conversations around the world. The truth is that the world is changing right in front of our eyes and irremediably affecting not only the reality around us but also that of the whole world. Since the pandemic...

“We can not expect things to change if we keep doing the same things.” —Albert Einstein

A world pandemic, civil movements, an economic crisis—it’s impossible to deny that the world as we knew it is certainly changing. This could be, for many, the most challenging time in their lifetimes. Questions such as how do we handle the global pandemic, what we should we do about the economic crisis, and how can we change systemic racism are at the top of our minds right now. Many people want to get back ...

According to the US Census Bureau, 19.7 million children, nearly a quarter of American children live in father-absent homes. Research shows that, when a child is raised in a father-absent home, he or she can be affected in a number of ways. The child is two times more likely to drop out of school; has a four times greater risk of living in poverty; and is more likely to have behavioral problems, experience abuse and neglect, abuse drugs and alcohol, suffer obesity, and commit crime. Cohabitation...
