Now I can get as spiritual as the next person, but what I like to do when I am approaching my mental-emotional practices is to integrate a neuroscientific understanding of how our brain works. The state most of us are craving right now is liberation. We are seeking it in our current structures – the …
So often we portray following your dreams as a pathway to unicorn and rainbows. “Follow your dreams,” we say against an explosion of stars, “and all will be magical.” But my experience in following my dreams for myself, my family and this planet, is that the road to your dreams is haaaard.

Let’s just acknowledge that we are living in a totally different world than we were 3 months ago.

“The next step in human evolution is not inevitable, but for the first time in the history of the planet, it can be a conscious choice.” Eckart Tolle Some of this isn’t our fault.
