Transform Your Life into Gold: An Alchemist's View to Change
It has long been believed that early alchemists were obsessed with turning base m etals into precious metals such as gold, and indeed there were extraneous alchemists who experimented with metals in an effort to do just that. However, alchemy was and is more than turning lead into gold. In fact, it is more than transformation in the physical and scientific sense. It also includes personal...

Be Ware the Trappings of Power: Be Aware the Blessings of Empowerment

There are also thoughts and ideas about empowerment but these seem to run a close second to the beliefs about power.

Compassionate Detachment: Loving Enough to Let Go
When I was young I discovered a chrysalis hanging from a branch in some scrub oak near our house. Each day after this discovery I would go out and check on this chrysalis in the hopes of seeing the butterfly that I knew was inside. You can imagine how excited I was when one day I came out to find the head of this butterfly sticking out from a hole in the bottom of the cocoon! I stood fascinated by the...

We do this to make the person feel welcome and comfortable.... (posted by Ralph P. 2 years 363 days ago.)

Let Go and Let God: Be the Hollow Bone
There is a fine line when it comes to knowing when to use the gift of our own reasoning and knowing when to rely on guidance from a higher source. Every day we learn more about the world, our self and about others adding to our ability to make better choices and decisions, but we should also be learning to listen to the "higher" voice of Spirit. Since many people are comfortable relying on their own understanding... (posted by Ralph P. 2 years 363 days ago.)
