How I Began to Become Fully Alive!

Andy: Today we’re going to discuss, from a very high level, what we’ve discovered. What it ultimately means, and what it looks like to answer the call of God, to be fully alive. And we will also discuss roadblocks that keep us from answering that call. Again, this is a very high level overview. In all of the following podcasts, we will be going into greater detail regarding the journey of becoming fully alive. So some of the terms we’ll be discussing today are the false self,

I Am A Creator!

I am house sitting in a beautiful home in Okemos, Michigan. The guest room where I am staying lacks a mirror. I’m a girl. I do girly things like makeup and hair. I check my outfit before I leave the room. I need a mirror. Before I put a $10 mirror on my shopping list, I decided to dig into the spacious guest closet on the off chance that there might be one stashed in there. Voila! I was right. There was a mirror in there, and a nice-sized one, too. I dragged it out and leaned

Why Are Men Today Spiritual Wusses?

I was listening to Tucker Carlson talking to Glenn Beck on Beck’s podcast episode 114. Tucker noted that all of the people who have been standing up for liberty, individuality, and truth are women, not men. Why is that? The two men agreed that it was a problem, it was worth studying, and then metaphorically scratched their heads as to the cause. Tucker speculated that it might be our food and then the conversation veered off in another direction. It’s not our food. This is no

Why Masks Are Spiritually Wrong

There is plenty of debate and content out there about how masks are ineffective, how we’ve received mixed messages about whether to wear them or not, or how it’s the responsibility of the breather-IN to wear a mask to protect oneself from illness, not the breather-OUT. This post is not going to address any of this. There are many beliefs that, when we hear them, just feel wrong, such as allowing a man to use a woman’s restroom or calling a woman “he.” We don’t know why they f

What Is the Map of Consciousness?

What Is the Map of Consciousness?

These are the levels of consciousness, as defined by David Hawkins in The Map of Consciousness Explained. The number assigned to each level does not correspond to a hertz frequency. They are logarithmic, not linear. Level 200 is where an individual begins to see Truth. This is the level at which the false self, mask, or idealized self-image, has been destroyed.

Should I Grow Up?

The whole course of human history may depend on a change of heart in one solitary and even humble individual.... For it is in the solitary mind and soul of the individual that the battle between good and evil is waged and ultimately won or lost. - M. Scott Peck After the magic of Truth follows the expressing of emotion, after you accept the salvation that Christ paid for on the cross, you are no longer living in the false self. You are free to live as God made you, without th

Why the Heck Am I Even Here?

Genuine love not only respects the individuality of the other but actually cultivates it, even at the risk of separation or loss. The ultimate goal of life remains the spiritual growth of the individual, the solitary journey to peaks that can be climbed only alone. - M. Scott Peck You hear the call, the whisper toward life. An undeniable pull toward freedom, toward full self-expression, toward soaring. You have heard this call your whole life. You may have searched for answer

Controllers’ Response to Childhood Wounds

Dependency may appear to be love because it is a force that causes people to fiercely attach themselves to one another. But in actuality it is not love; it is a form of antilove. It has its genesis in a parental failure to love and it perpetuates the failure. It seeks to receive rather than to give. It nourishes infantilism rather than growth. It works to trap and constrict rather than to liberate. Ultimately it destroys rather than builds relationships, and it destroys rathe

Controllees' Response to Childhood Wounds

Whenever we seek to avoid the responsibility for our own behavior, we do so by attempting to give that responsibility to some other individual or organization or entity. But this means we then give away our power to that entity. - M. Scott Peck When you were a child, you expected your caregivers to give you what you needed: affection, belonging, acceptance, validation, order, autonomy, value, challenge, self-expression, hope. But you were raised by fallible human beings, who

I Don’t Even Know What Love Is

For some people, love is merely adoration, which is a form of good-shadow projection. These people find the person who best typifies their unlived shadow material—good and bad—and live in a sort of trance with them. Though I wouldn’t call that sad game “love,” it’s what passes for love in many relationships: you find someone who can act out your unlived material, attach yourself to them, and enter into a haunted carnival ride of moods and desires. - Karla McLaren For most peo

How Do I Stop Feeling So Much Fear, Anger and Sadness?

To proceed very far through the desert, you must be willing to meet existential suffering and work it through. In order to do this, the attitude toward pain has to change. This happens when we accept the fact that everything that happens to us has been designed for our spiritual growth. - M. Scott Peck That real love stuff sounds great, but you can’t even think about getting to positive emotions! You are mired in fear, anger and sadness all of the time. You just need these ne

Who Am I and Why Is This Map Not Working?

Our view of reality is like a map with which to negotiate the terrain of life. If the map is true and accurate, we will generally know where we are, and if we have decided where we want to go, we will generally know how to get there. If the map is false and inaccurate, we generally will be lost. While this is obvious, it is something that most people to a greater or lesser degree choose to ignore. They ignore it because our route to reality is not easy. First of all, we are n

How Do I Get to Real Forgiveness?

Real forgiveness says, “I see that you were doing what worked for you at the time, but it never, ever worked for me!” Real forgiveness knows that real wounding took place; therefore, real fingers have to be pointed so that real movement through the underworld of suffering can occur. When that real movement has been made, real forgiveness raises you up off the ground, wipes off the spit, pulls the twigs out of your hair, and testifies, “You can’t hurt me anymore! It’s over and

Why Does the Abused Person Stay?

Have you ever wondered why a woman stays with or returns to her abuser, again and again? Were you taught that abused people recreate what is familiar in their relationships, even if it is destructive? This is not the reason. No one in their right mind would seek a relationship that causes suffering! Allow me to tell a story that will answer this question. There was a little girl born 41 years ago to a married couple in Canada. As she grew up, she noticed that her father didn’

I Hate That Churchy Word, "Sin"

Sin, bleh! What is sin, anyway? Misbehaving? Doing bad things? I don't think that is what sin is at all! Contrary to most church doctrine, I don't believe that sin is a behavior. Sin is the belief in a lie. Spiritual growth is the process of turning our beliefs in lies into beliefs in Truth. We live our entire lives based on what we believe about who we are, who others are, and who God is. Everything we do, everything we decide, everything we feel and experience, is motivated

The Beatitudes Are a Road Map

The first set of three Beatitudes, poor in spirit, mourning, and meekness, address the active elements of the facets of love. They require spiritual skills to dismantle the lies that have established and are reinforcing the false self. After the Will decides to desire righteousness, the next three Beatitudes circle back around and address the passive elements of the three facets of love. These elements are required to surrender our self-will, to trust God, and to prepare us f

The Beatitudes Aren't a Set of Rules

I was taught that the Beatitudes Jesus gave at the beginning of His Sermon on the Mount were character traits that one should aspire to. To fit this into the traditional “sin is a behavior” church model, these character traits are what people should see in us, based on how we behave ourselves. This would make the Beatitudes a really high standard. I mean, really high. The first time I read them, I stopped at number three and just gave up. “Welp,” I thought, “I am never going

Forgiveness Does Not Mean You're a Doormat!

Many people have formulated definitions of the concept of forgiveness, but for me I like this one the best: Forgiveness is giving up all hope of ever getting paid back. When we are wronged, we feel loss and usually some anger in the form of bitterness, hurt or resentment. Well-meaning people tell us, “Just forgive that person. It is for yourself not them,” or “Let it go,” or “It’s hurting you more than it’s hurting them,” or, “It’s the Christian thing to do.” But all of these

Why Abraham Isn't Such a Monster

God tells Abraham that he will have descendants that outnumber the stars. This is when Abraham is an old man and his wife, Sarah, is long past being able to physical bear children. Abraham is astonished. Um … okay. That’d be great! Fantastic! A dream come true! Four thousand years ago, a man’s legacy wasn’t the family farm, the giant company he built, the books he wrote, or the history he made. His legacy was his genes, his children, the number of people who would contain his

Why Am I Attracted to Narcissists?

To understand why we are drawn to a narcissist as our mate, look to the Love & Evil Wheel. At the bottom of this wheel is the facet of love called Reality, or Truth. This pie section corresponds to the positive emotion of Power on the Feelings Wheel. When we learn Truth: Truth about who we are, Truth about who others are, or Truth about who God is, given to us by the Holy Spirit through insights, this knowledge of reality gives us real power. Think of real power as a confiden
