THE THREE PILLARS
THE JOURNEY
To wisely wrap our head around life, it is good to start with a big picture. Our minds get lost in complexity of life, and in our relations to the past. In remembering that our life is just an experience we are given to shape as we see fit, we enter our big mind, our timeless wiser self, the part of us that has the best ability to navigate this crazy journey of ours. Yes, it's the whole journey thing.

THE SELF
The self is essentially a simple thing that is asked to navigate what is an increasingly complicated life as we move forward in history. We need to peel back the layers of who we are. We sometimes need to re-associate our selves with our true nature, and then look at the immense challenges of our physical, emotional and spiritual worlds. This is not to be discouraged or overwhelmed, but to be far to our self. It is a long ride, and we need time, lots of it to get any grasp on the expanse of managing the many layers of who we are.
DEEP DIVE
THE WORLD
The world is our final stop in our school. It is where we must set our feet upon the ground and navigate. Most of our struggles in following our visions and realizing any rewards for our time and energy revolve around not understanding or accepting the nature of the systems of the world. This is possibly theist humbling part of our journey, but the world has it ways, some quite obvious and some hiding behind the scenes, waiting for us to earn the right to uncover those critical little secrets. More humbling things to surrender too, nd yet the world is where all of our intentions come to fruitio, where our joy becomes real and tangible

A TREE TO STARE AT AND THINK ABOUT
SO many ways to dice and slice life. But this we need to do in order to put our challenges into some meaningful and whollistic context.

MONEY
Money is one of the great teachers of life, I have found. Whether we have it or we don't have it, or perhaps it has us, it is wise to step back and reinvent our perception of money. Part of all of our lives is shaped unquestionably by our relationship to money, so maybe it is time to investigate this from a higher point of view.

THE SPIRITUAL AND THE PHYSICAL
Sanity is the fine art of staying centered amidst the polarites of ife. The light and the dark. The fair and the unfair. And tis includes the physical and non-physical aspects of our nature. In our school of life, we often bounce back an forth, learning as we go until these worlds find a way to work closer together.
THE DISCUSSION
SPIRITUAL SKILLS
Is there a skill or skills required to follow our spiritual journeys? It is a worthy question. Can we stumble into the best of us, or do we need to come to the table ready to develop some serious chops of some order?
THE DISCUSSION
CIRCLES
Life becomes a thing of walking in circles for all of us. What defines a good life is the circles that we walk in. We often fear the notion of going backwards or revisiting things, but that is simply because we still have work to do to create the circles we need to walk in that allow the predictable to be rewarding. New experiences are critical in life. Just know that we will all find ourselves eventually walking in circles.
THE DISCUSSION
WHERE AND WHEN ARE WE?
I say, at any given moment, we are a culmination of who we are, whihc is how we are wired, where we are, and when we are, the timing of things around us. This is a little chat about the where part of this discussion.
THE DISCUSSION
SELF HEALING
Perhaps the most important art and skill we need to learn in this life, because we are always breaking in some way. The good news is we are wired to heal. Don't wait until you are old and falling apart to recognize your capacity to self heal. If there was one thing that can define our long term capacity for happiness, this might just be it.
THE DISCUSSION
SEX AND SEXY THINGS
We cannot cover the topic of life without speaking to one of the more powerful forces in our nature. Like all doorways in lfe, this part of us can lead us to profound wisdom or wrestling with unending personal demons.
THE DISCUSSION
SUFFERING AND CONFLICT
Sorry friends, this is a thing we just got to pony up and deal with. All we can do is investigate how we see and deal with suffering. IN this discussion we will talk about the 3 states of our relationship to suffering. The point is to try to get suffering to lead us to wisdom, and not just be a thing that we curse endlessly until we age into bitterness. It's a tough one. Our masters degree in life.
THE DISCUSSION
COMMUNICATION
There is nothing more powerful that connects our inner intangible worlds to the physical world more than our voices. What we say, when and how we say it, these all tell the story of who we are, or think we are, at any given time. We talk about taking a good look in the mirror. Is it time to take a good listen to our own piehole?
THE DISCUSSION
MYSTICAL AND MAGICAL THINGS
There is an undeniable mystical nature to life if we should dare slow down and care to look. It is a critical part of our ability to rise above the madness of life and to just recognize the flow of things. To observe the nature of things both over and under the surface of life. And yet, on our spiritual quests, this can become our greatest adversary if we should get lost in the ethers and let our minds look for answers in the mystical that can only be truly found in the practical nature of things. Magic? Sure, whatever. Life and energy, all day long. Wisdom? Non negotiable. Shall we dig in?
