What is the upside and downside of your relationship between financial wealth and freedom?

FREEDOM AND WEALTH…can you have both?

What is “freedom” to you?
Freedom for the individual is a very new concept!
In the past the individual’s wishes had to be subservient to the family, because with no family you had “no place” in life. The family was not free because it was responsible to the community, and ultimately to the King or the Government. The family fortune could be wiped out in a heart beat by a jealous king…(obviously things haven’t changed that much).
To this day across most of the world people are judged and judge others by their family connections…be they humble or lofty, they represent our physical beginnings and placement on earth. Your identity as an individual begins in the context of your family background.

  • Beloved family of Lightness in the world… February 16, 2010
    During these past months I have been experiencing huge waves of grief, followed by new levels of awareness. I am becoming more conscious of  in every way how much my parents love or lack of it created who I am today… The universe abhors a void so every time something is removed or deemed ineffective or unworthy, [...] […]

  • The Original “Burning Man”! January 23, 2010
    I have been in Bali for the last two months… it’s wonderful to be in such a nurturing environment…. It soothes the soul and reconnects the human spirit to the natural world. I feel so blessed to be here and to feel the healing power of the earth… here in this spot, by the river, looking down [...] […]

  • Full Moon Inertia November 3, 2009
    There is a sub conscious phenomenon currently occurring on a planetary level… It is shaping the activities of millions of people on earth. What is it? As I am sure you are aware, humans live in a polarized world, swinging from one extreme to the other in the constant search for meaning and purpose to our life here [...] […]

  • Your own best remedy… October 20, 2009
    The topic of health within our modern society seems to me to be upside down. There was a time in ancient China when everyone within a community would contribute to the wealth and well being of the local doctor for as long as people were well. As soon as someone became ill the income for the doctor [...] […]

  • Miracles from the soup kitchen… feed the world with Shankari… September 25, 2009
    I have been away from Hawaii for months… I have a lot of diverse interests and responsibilities. On my return to the islands I went up to Orchid Parkway for a quick look, to see if everything had survived my absence, before I collapsed into my need for rest. I was completely jet lagged and a little delirious [...] […]

  • The balance of light and dark… September 22, 2009
    Wow… Doesn’t time just fly by?! It seems it was only yesterday we were celebrating the Spring Equinox. This is a very potent time of year because it’s when the energy of nature has reached a pivot point of equilibrium… Night and day are the same length and after that moment the energy begins to recede once again. It’s [...] […]

  • Creating Abundance September 15, 2009
    Our greatest challenge on earth today is not global warming or the price of gas… it’s despair! Despair is worse than a physical disease and more debilitating than the weather or politics! It can be deadly! Why do we feel despair? We go into ‘despair’ when we believe in lack… lack of love, lack [...] […]

  • The Wild Couple September 8, 2009
    I’m sharing this story with you because feel it has a great teaching for me… and perhaps for you. We will always find our way home if we think like a cat! Recently in the district of Ka’u… at the Southern end of The Big Island,  “Teddie’s Safe Haven” has been performing a spaying operation to [...] […]

  • Helping others September 3, 2009
    I had one of those moments yesterday when I broke the rules! The rule in question is the one about not offering help unless you are invited! It’s a very hard thing to do and it takes great discipline… To wait to be asked. Especially if you feel love and concern for your fellow travelers on the journey [...] […]

  • I have had a vision, finally…. August 19, 2009
    I am a very visual person, without a vision it is very hard for me to act. When I am not in motion “doing something” I go into self criticism. It’s a strange dynamic when you think about it. We come from a culture that frowns on open space…. too much free time and open space is dangerous. You [...] […]
