Evolve or Perish?
Although humans have become the most proficient species at fighting and fleeing, that is not what has been the main thrust of what has propelled us to dominate the landscape. Human evolution has been driven by our ability to respond creatively and cooperatively to challenges, as well as our ability to envision a better future and devising the means to achieve it. If we evaluate our reptilian predecessors who dominated our planet, we find that they were very good at the four Fs — fighting, fleeing, feeding and procreating, but had little ability to learn how to creatively and cooperatively relate to their world.

Out of compassion we find the strength to promote life’s emerging agendas and address our inadequacies and past mistakes with forgiveness. Through forgiveness we are able to experience the present moment as it is, which in turn opens up the space in our consciousness to investigate the nature of reality more fully. Spacious awareness just accepts everything as it is, whereby we can differentiate fact from fiction. Acceptance of everything opens us to appreciation of everything and the joyously blissful nature of consciousness. It is when we follow our deepest bliss that we are in alignment with divine will (dharma). In the surrendering to divine will, we manifest our part to play in peaceful harmony with the rest of creatio
Are you living in the shadow of your family tree? – Family Constellations
“Children seldom or never dare to live a happier or more fulfilling life than their parents. Unconsciously they remain loyal to unspoken family traditions, which work invisibly. Family Constellations are a way of discovering underlying consequential family bonds and forces, which have been carried unconsciously over several generations.” Bertold Ulsamer
