At one period in my work, I conducted corporate trainings on the topic of stress management. Later, this topic evolved and became “time and stress management.” The lack of time itself was one of the main sources of stress, and that is why it had to be given special attention. That is how I became […]
“In my work I often see people struggling unsuccessfully to overcome what they believe to be their human weakness. Yet for most of them, what they believe to be their weaknesses turn out to be the areas of their greatest spiritual strength.” Michael Tamura, You Are the Answer, p. 66 To explain how this paradoxical […]
I do not know whether you are familiar with this state in which earthly life feels so heavy that you would gladly leave your body, if it were not for your sense of duty and your determination not to give up. It is a state in which the outer world has no pull at all, […]
“Some spiritual seekers mistakenly understand the process of freeing the ego from all its “possessions” as killing or destroying the ego. Just as survival is the primary instinct of all nature, so the ego will try to survive at all costs. If you threaten it, you will not accomplish your spiritual purpose. If you starve […]

Lately, I have been quoting Michael Tamura’s book You Are the Answer quite often, which in itself is a sign that this is a book I genuinely believe is worth reading. Now I would like to add a few more words about it, in order to include it in my “Recommended Books” category. I am […]
“Remember, spirit is free when it is neutral. When you build up a charge, whether positive or negative, it engages and becomes whatever it engages with. This means that when you decide to engage in a desire, you charge your inner spirit energy. The desire of wanting to bring something to you has an attractive […]
Lately, by some recurring coincidence, I often find myself speaking with people who are going through one form or another of despair. These are people who have been engaged in spiritual healing and growth for many years, yet they reach a point where they begin to feel stuck and see no results from their efforts. […]
In the wholeness of our response to what is happening in our lives lies a very important secret. If we understand it—if we truly understand it—something significant happens in our life, and after that, we are never the same.
