"To think is to practice brain chemistry."- Deepak Chopra

Have you ever heard someone say, "Well, I'm no brain scientist…"? Quite recently I had lunch with a friend while he was on a break from work. When he ordered a beer I raised my eyebrows in mock astonishment. He replied "It's not like I'm performing brain surgery later."

But we are all brain scientists. Our thoughts really do affect our brain chemistry. And...

There are few experiences in life comparable to standing in front of a corrections officer at a maximum security prison with miles of barbed wire and massive walls and thick steel gates and then signing your name to an agreement, which states, basically, that if you are taken hostage by an inmate prison officials will not negotiate for your release. Feeling wary does not quite do justice to the emotions. I first had that sense twenty years ago when I taught the TM technique in San...

The one most single thing that can keep you from your blessings is pride. If you're too prideful to see that you need to change some things in your life then you are cheating yourself. You won't push through to your blessings. You've got to push through. A lot of people stop short of their blessings. It is sad, but true. Their blessing could be right in the next step; but they stop. They get tired, they get weak, and they get annoyed because it's not happening fast enough. Oh, I've been...

No, I'm not talking about your shadow that you see on the ground when the sun is out, I'm talking about the shadows that you feed on a daily basis or even the shadows that you have hidden away in the depths of your subconscious. Shadows? Shadows what? Shadows who? You ask. Shadows are the blocks that keep you from living your life to the fullest extent.

In order for you to have balance in your life, overcome your obstacles, and achieve your dreams you have to clear away the hidden...

From the inside out….That's what you have to do – cleanse from the inside out. To spiritually cleanse is a renewing process that will give you a brand new life. It will give you enlightenment, satisfaction, and a new energy you never knew you had. You will be renewed, refreshed, and rejuvenated.

Simply out, if you don't cleanse yourself from the inside out, then you are setting yourself up for failure no matter what. The hidden shadows that you have locked deep away...

Did you know that God created for you a specific purpose, a specific plan? I bet you didn't know that if you got your life in order and in line with God, that He will show you the career path He planned for you. Sound too unbelievable? It's not. God is the creator of all things, the creator of you. If you let Him show you your path, He will.

Did you know that when you are forced to work outside of what your natural abilities are and what your purpose is, you feel tense and...

God's role plays an intricate part in your transformation process. He has a unique plan for you. A plan that is strictly yours and only you can fulfill. You need to have the guidance of God to help you transform to the highest of your ability. You need God to open your eyes and see the plan He has laid out for you.

Sometimes, we as fleshly people, take it upon ourselves to "fix" our lives without the help of our Spiritual Father. He wants to help. He wants to show you...

Instead of locking yourself up in your cage of fears and crying over past heartaches, embarrassment and failures, treat them as your teachers and they will become your tools for success.
