Do you know the story of the frog who, after being kissed by the princess, turned into a prince? Carol Pearson, author of The Hero Within, writes that in the original version of this tale, the “disenchanting action” is very different. Consequently, its psychological interpretation is also different, carrying profound implications for what constitutes the […]
“I can find only three kinds of business in the universe: mine, yours, and God’s. (For me, the word God means “reality.” Reality is God, because it rules. Anything that’s out of my control, your control, and everyone else’s control—I call that God’s business.) Much of our stress comes from mentally living out of our […]
This is a rather long story from Don Miguel Ruiz’s The Mastery of Love, but if you read it to the end, you will understand the most important thing there is to know about love. It corresponds entirely with my personal and professional experience and is also in harmony with all the other writings I […]
From Don Miguel Ruiz, The Mastery of Love: “I want you to imagine that you live on a planet where every inhabitant suffers from a skin disease. The people on this planet have lived with this illness for two or three thousand years. Their entire bodies are covered with wounds that are infected and extremely […]
I recommend this book! I read it a long time ago – so long ago that it is no longer in my library, together with the cards that were created especially for it. I suspect that the energy of love pushed me to give them to someone… 🙂 Now I feel the urge to recommend […]
Don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements: “We do not see the truth because we are blind. We are blinded by all those false beliefs in our minds. We feel the need to be right and to make others wrong. We trust what we believe, and our beliefs condemn us to suffering. It is as if […]
From the book by Don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements: “Just as the government has laws that govern the collective dream, our beliefs are the code that governs our individual dream. All these laws exist in our minds; we believe in them, and the Judge within us bases everything on these rules. The Judge passes […]
From the book by Don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements: “All our natural inclinations are lost in the process of domestication. And when we grow enough for our mind to begin to reason, we learn the word ‘no.’ The adults say: ‘Don’t do this, don’t do that.’ We rebel and say: ‘No!’ We rebel because […]
“But what is this force that pushes us, both as individuals and as a species, to grow against the natural resistance of our own lethargy? We have already mentioned it—it is love. It is defined as: ‘The will to extend oneself for the purpose of nurturing one’s own or another’s spiritual growth.’ When we grow, […]
“I know from experience, however, that this is not for the best—people should not be outsmarted, even when it is for their own benefit. I do not wish to push anyone off the tracks of their own misguided faith. Perhaps it would be better for that person to reach a total failure than to be […]
“Pure words lead to a pure mind. Therefore, speak calmly, speak gently, and speak little…” Bhagawan Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba This is not an easy “lesson in love.” It only seems that way at first glance because, in order to connect with the right words, we must first connect with the right feeling.

From Neale Donald Walsch, Conversations with God: “There is a way to be happy in a relationship, and that is to use it for its true purpose, rather than for a purpose you have invented for yourself… Relationships are a constant challenge; they constantly call you to create, express, and experience ever-higher aspects of yourself—ever […]
