Keep It Simple… Stupendous
The key is to open your heart and give Love as much as you can to everyone within your reach because you are everything and everything is you and God is in the details. So when giving to others selflessly, you are actually giving it to yourself because, “Thou Art That.” This is why helping people feels so good. It’s like that John Lennon song “Instant Karma. ” When you give, you get instantly.
To put it simply as I can:
- God is inside you.
- God is in everything you see.
- There is nothing that God is that you are not.
- There is nothing that you are that God is not. (more…)
“The most difficult thing on earth one can practice is to be humble. It is not easy; it is difficult, because you have to surmount the existence of whole maya (illusion) and to recognize that God is by your side. Then you feel the humility.” –Yogi Bhajan
Holding The Space: The Power of Positive Mantra
When your mind changes, you change. When you change, what you project changes. When what you project changes, what you experience changes-- and this becomes what you see in front of you.
Positivity and The Law of Attraction: Do Not Expect Delays.
Writing is easy for me. I can say that now. I can embrace it. There was a time when if the writing came too easy I’d be waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Chakras: Lower Triangle Vs. Upper Triangle
This is not at all like east coast rappers vs. west coast rappers, to be clear.
The first three chakras are often referred to as ‘the lower triangle.’ The heart is the fourth chakra where everything ‘bends’ as it were. Then there are the upper three chakras, often referred to as ‘the upper triangle.’
Chakras have basic archetypes:
- Survival
- Creativity & Sexuality
- Will power – Core directive power
- The heart – Compassion & Love
- The Power of spoken word – Throat
- Intuition & Wisdom – Third eye
- Humility & Divinity – Crown
- The Aura – Radiance of the True personality
The lower three correspond to earthly issues: Survival, creativity, and will power. (more…)

Wahe Guru, a little meaning behind the yoga of sound
*Wahe (Wha-hay) means “Wow” or “Ecstacy.” It’s sort of an exclamation of the joy of existence. Guru (goo-roo) means that force which brings one from darkness into light.
‘Gu’ means darkness and ‘Ru’ means light. So Gu-Ru is basically the transformation from dark to light, which is why we have associated the word with ‘enlightened’ or masterful individuals. We call someone a ‘guru’ when they have mastered their profession or area of expertise. However these words are so much more than simply a title or an idea. By speaking or chanting the word one creates the sound vibration, which awakens the force of the guru in all of us. Some consider this the higher self. It’s the perfect and complete version of yourself informing you in every moment. Speaking the words Wahe Guru will create a vibration which will dispel darkness from you and bring you into the light of your Soul. Another way of looking at it is that chanting the mantra is like dialing a phone number to your higher self. (more…)
