Broadening our perspective beyond political rhetoric & propaganda

The importance of using our inner wisdom & discernment. We are in month 6 of COVID. Nearly 170,000 people1 have lost their lives to coronavirus and many more have lost their jobs and are struggling to feed their families. During this time, the issue of systemic racism and police violence has risen from street protests to a national debate in our country. And, we are less than 90 days away from a presidential election amidst a pandemic. Regardless of how we each view our current state of affairs, it is reasonable to say, we have never experienced anything like this… [read more]

A spiritual ‘Ted Talk’ for the dawning of a new decade

During a board session with our guides on December 20, Marguerite and Aurelia conveyed that Khaled would be holding a ‘spiritual forum’ on December 24 about the state affairs in the world and here in our country. Khaled is another guide that I channel. Both Eryn and I saw in our mind’s eye a forum similar to a ‘Ted Talk,’ with Khaled and other guest speakers. Eryn and I agreed to connect at 6 p.m. on December 24 from our respective homes and report back to each other about the information we respectively vocal channeled. Below are the words I… [read more]

#MeToo: Eryn’s story

    It was a Friday night and I received an invitation to celebrate a friend’s birthday at a local brewery. I had previously made this friend after filming on location with him for a few months. He was generally a kind person with an easy disposition, and we laughed a lot through tough moments on set. When I arrived at the brewery I noticed he had had quite a bit to drink, and as the night waned, friends dwindled and he was left inebriated and alone. Concerned, I offered to walk him home to a fellow friend’s house. While… [read more]

#MeToo: Should we shame or transform?

    Is social shaming productive? Or does it drive an issue underground, allowing it to grow and later emerge even stronger? This was the heart of our conversation today as Elena and I discussed the #MeToo movement, a social chain reaction resulting from the New York Times article last October, detailing decades of alleged sexual harassment by producer Harvey Weinstein. Khaled, one of our spiritual guides who regularly participates on the board, joined us to explore this topic further. “And what is your emotional response to these stories?” Khaled asked of this pervading shadow in our ‘collective conscious.’ I started by… [read more]

Scarcity: Mother nature suffers silently

    In just the past two months, our spiritual guides have invited other ‘beings of light’ to join us on the board.  Eryn and I sensed there was a matter of urgency for on both occasions they have expressed concern and wanted to “bring a message to earth’s children.”  Back in June, Arpad spoke about mankind’s fear of “scarcity” and how it is impacting our planet. You can read about it here. Today, we were joined with another new friend, Seriph. While I tried asking about the escalating threat of North Korea, his focus was also about fear of scarcity and… [read more]

Has the wave of political manipulation and misinformation flung you into fear?

  This week has been an important one considering recent events on the world stage: Rex Tillerson’s trip to Moscow and the mounting tension in US-Russia relations; the growing threat of North Korea and near provocation of war that prompted VP Pence’s visit to the region; and the U.S. attack on Isis in Afghanistan and missile strike in Syria. Eryn and I talked about what these events are signaling for us as a nation and the potential impact on our lives. I’m sure many of you have too. We even explored whether or not President Bashar al-Assad actually launched chemical… [read more]

A Message About The Women’s March

When I learned about the Women’s March last December, there was no question in my mind that I had to participate. I could not be complacent as I watched many of our rights being stripped away. For me, the rhetoric of our current president—the basis of his campaign—was such an extreme contrast to the values I hold that I could not ignore my surging feelings of disbelief and anger.   I know many people voted from Trump because they believed he was the best candidate that would bring back jobs and improve our economy. They may not share his feelings about… [read more]

Our launch, our intention

We are truly excited to be launching our blog today, which includes a collection of many of the conversations we’ve had with our board members over the past year. At this auspicious moment, we held a special meeting with our board members—for the blog has truly been a co-creation with them. For the first time, they came together as a ‘collective’ [vs individually], an energy quite distinct, yet a resonance which was familiar to us. Here we share their intention [and ours] for the blog and celebrate with much joy the launch of what we hope will be a platform to serve others.… [read more]

Honoring our collective origins

It’s the first week of July and we ended another week of more senseless violence: the deaths of Philander Castile in Minnesota and Alton B. Sterling in Louisiana at the hands of the police.  Then there was the shooting of the Dallas policemen, said to be in retaliation. And all of this came on the heels of the Istanbul airport attack, leaving 45 people dead and 230 injured, the coordinated bomb attacks in Baghdad, and the ongoing violence in Syria to name a few. So we are in a particularly somber mood today, wondering why there seems to be an escalation of violence and terrorism… [read more]

Discernment: The impartial meditator

The debates, the town halls, and the pundits hashing out e-v-e-r-y word spoken (and tweet tweeted) by the candidates. It can be exhausting, and for some, an entertaining distraction from an otherwise mundane work day. Not to say the 2016 election isn’t important. It should be. But amidst the 24/7 news coverage of the elections, are we paying attention to other issues like the Panama Papers? Eryn and I talked about the current state of affairs, the never ending political rhetoric and chatter, making it difficult to distinguish truth and deception clearly. We questioned if we can expect a genuine expose of the Panama Papers… [read more]
