Last week, I wrote about gradual spiritual experience. It is so named because it comes about so slowly that you don’t realize that it has happened.

Acceptance: A Spiritual Experience
Spiritual acceptance comes about in as many different forms as there are people who experience it. There is no one way that it comes about. But, generally, the experience is sudden or gradual. Before we continue, let’s clarify the difference between acceptance and spiritual acceptance. Sportscaster Warner Wolf would often say, “Let’s go to videotape.” […]

Freedom and Independence from Debt
Back in my 12/11/09 blog article, I talked a little about debt, how it sometimes occurs and about my own debt, specifically. I mentioned that I started my consulting business after I invested all of my savings in a separate business venture. The consulting piece started off slow, and the business venture did likewise. I […]
Work
Everyone has to do it! It’s part of the journey. Today, lots of folks will tell you that if your work involves doing something you’re passionate about, you won’t be so unhappy with your job. Or maybe if you’ve found your purpose in life and that’s what your job is all about, you’ll be more […]
