Do you believe in Divine Intervention (Great video!)

We’ve had lots of discussions on this blog about whether there’s such a think as divine intervention. Maybe this video will settle something? (probably not!) This was sent to me today by our Russian promoter Dmitry who joked that it might convince me of something! If nothing else, it’s a brilliant video. So enjoy, and [...]

Dealing with criticism – how do I do?

As I’ve written about before, if you aren’t attracting some criticism and debate then you aren’t doing your job right. [See: My article about Speaking My Truth and Tim Ferriss on Benefits of Pissing People Off.] My job is to get people thinking about new ideas. Some of you love my ideas. Some of you [...]

Are gut feelings misleading?

In yesterday’s blog about the dangers of sharing spiritual beliefs, I mentioned the conundrum I often experience when people get a strong feeling or gut instinct that they disagree with me. I think many people make intuitive decisions based on gut instincts. That seems to be a good thing, but if they don’t understand their [...]

I keep making mistakes… and learning. The last time I wrote about this I focused on my fear that people will judge (and [...]

Do you believe in divine intervention?

As promised in recent posts, I want to share some of my spiritual beliefs and start to explain them. The specific question which I asked you a few days ago was: what do you think about the apparent “divine intervention” which saved Evette and I from teaching in Tokyo when the earthquake hit? In the [...]

The danger of sharing my beliefs

Wow – I didn’t realize how much energy I would stir up with my last blog post about the “invisible forces” that stopped us being in Tokyo when the earthquake hit.  Have you been thinking about what you believe?

Do things happen for a reason? (I was meant to teach in Japan on earthquake day!)

Is there a higher force looking after us? (A skeptic confronts his extraordinary good luck) In a recent post I shared my view, consisted with Tao philosophy, that there is no inherent meaning in the universe.  Things don’t happen for a reason. Things happen. “Life Is.”  It is humans who add meanings to things. As [...]
