Morality and Ethics

The former is usually regarded as absolute, derived from authority, unchanging and deviation leads to great, if not eternal, peril.  The latter tends to be situational, variable, individually created and ignored at a cost primarily to health and quality of life.

The overwhelming difference between them is exerted in the realms of self-trust:  If, when and under which circumstances.

Yet there are common elements as well. They both involve striving to better the self, to fit in or belong more completely, to provide service and contribute in the world.

The Courage to Preserve and Courage to Change

We all know of the courage to preserve – first responders, emergency medics and especially, now here in the West, our firefighters from all over!

It's Your Life...

And, we’re each in the drivers seat.

When there is more You available to You,
essence, inspiration, joy, connection,
creation all bubble for a venue of 
expression. Self becomes the igniter of
inspiration.

Instead, we often feel that we’re living by
someone else’s rules and that we’ve put
others’ needs before our own and begun
to lose our footing.

Where Does Imagination Come From?!

Many would say the Mind – but the mental body has no material existence and so has no direct sensory/physical input. Some would say the brain – and it does help!

But your entire physical being is needed because your body has the only complete and accurate recordings of all your life experiences.

When overwhelmed by stress, what behavior do you fall back on?
I recently ate chocolate!  
 
Most “hang on” behaviors were learned in childhood (when our options were fewer) and, though more sophisticated by now, essentially rely upon the same protective strategies.
 
The very best tools are seldom called upon, because many of us were not taught how to use them.

Forgiveness is Freedom

Our reality is painted by past hurts, regrets, “oops”, etc. which are still to be forgiven or even acknowledged – both by other and self.

Forgiveness gives rise to freedom and understanding, to momentum forward, wisdom and even compassion.

It releases us from the blame game, feeling trapped or helpless and somehow the victim of circumstance. It allows us to take back choices which automatically spread into all facets of our lives – past, present and future.

It's About Time

We have all felt time race and drag, stop and start again with blanks or gaps in the stream.  From Einstein to the present, modern physics and much of metaphysics question time’s vary existence. 

Yet how can something we have all experienced in so many variations not be real?

It does exist – because we create it with our brains.  And, you can learn to exert conscious influence over it.

Your child within & without ...
choice, belonging, creativity, joy

From first cell to last breath, every one replaces itself and passes on what has been learned.  This downline is consistent throughout the entire body – from brain to heart to bone.

In day-to-day terms this means that the essence of your being and the growth in your life – all the ages you have been – still exist today, side by side, simultaneously in the present.

Your body is constantly being remodeled...

Trillions of cells, most with millions of components, operate in cooperation with each other most of the time.  How is this possible?

Our bodies learn new skills, develop allergies and immunities, repair injuries, handle breathing and digesting, and keep us upright and moving without much supervision on our part.  

Some(one/thing) must be driving this bus…

On Self-coercion, Inflammation & Health
Whenever we have feelings but don’t have permission to express them, we set in motion many physiological strains.  A simple analog is to imagine having your car’s brakes on and pressing the accelerator at the same time.  Friction and smoke are the common result.  It makes sense that this feeds the inflammatory cycles within our bodies as well.
 
Some common forms include:

- “I have to but I can’t”
