The Philosopher’s Stone
By · CommentsThis poem deeply touched me and it is a privilege for me to share it with you. I welcome any of your comments and questions about this poem. Enjoy! Warmly, Val Logan
A Stone of truth and rarity,
Given freely with sincerity,
Few believe or understand,
For evidence they do demand;
So here it is, as you ask,
Truth for you I do unmask;
Nature’s simple, certain way,
Gives life and Hope out of decay;
For those who hear Nature’s call,
Stand up strong and stand up tall;
With little time left in this world,
All the secrets will be unfurled;
From this book the wise will see
Life is not what it seemed to be.
~From the book, “The Book of Aquarius” The author chooses to remain anonymous.
Communication Issues With Self: The Worst of Them All!
By · CommentsInner Critic Strikes Again
One of the most destructive communication issues is the one that we have with ourselves when we get stuck in regret. Regret is a form of self-criticism. Regretting our choices from the past keeps us locked into a negative feeling. Our goal as humans is to grow and develop by learning from our successes and our mistakes alike. That is how we make progress. Making ourselves miserable from past experiences hampers our growth. What if we learned from our mistakes and began to feel good about them? Would our mistakes be any less joyous than our successes? It is through our challenging experiences along the way that we develop ourselves. Read More→
Law of Attraction and Manifesting 101
By · CommentsHow to Consciously Use the Law of Attraction to Manifest Your Heart’s Desire
First of all, though nowadays many people are aware of these metaphysical concepts, we still meet some who are are not. So then, what IS the law of attraction and what does manifesting actually mean?
The word manifesting means making something real. It’s different than the common practice of goal achievement where we decide on what we want and then take the necessary steps to the successful completion of that goal.
Manifesting begins similarly in that it is important to be clear about what you want to create. However, unlike goal setting that is primarily focused on action, manifesting focuses more on the use of our imagination and feelings along with inspired action to help us create what we want in our lives. This approach can be deeply rewarding and gratifying. Read More→
Inner Critic Holds Secret to Your Success
By · CommentsInner Critic Mastery as Revealed in Sherazad Story
Do you really want to know the secret of your success? I will tell you a secret about yourself that you may not have known. If only I had known this secret when I first started out in life, I would have saved myself much suffering. And maybe because I was young and foolish I would not have listened. So, YOU be the judge. Will you listen or will you brush it aside and pay no more attention? Behold what you are about to hear! May these words benefit those of you who have ears to hear and eyes to see.
This secret is disguised in one of Sherazad’s stories from 1001 Arabian Nights. She tells of an old poor fisherman who goes out one day to cast his net upon the waters four times and only four times. The first time he cast his net he pulled up the remains of a donkey. The second time he netted a pitcher full of dirt. The third time he netted shards of pottery and glass. On the fourth time he called upon the name of God and cast his net. Read More→
Fears and Anxiety Keep Us Stuck
By · CommentsHello from Val and Jeanette. Welcome to our first Blog! We are new to this platform and will need some time to get oriented to it. Please check back later. We plan to make more posts as time rolls along. For now, here is one of our favorite little stories. We believe that stories are one of the best, most enjoyable forms of learning. Through metaphor, stories evoke images and emotions that help us with our own personal growth. They can actively engage our imagination, which is the doorway to our natural genius. In her following story, Portia Nelson so beautifully describes the process of change and how our fear and anxiety transforms with developing awareness. Read More→
