Ok, look, hippies. There’s something New Agey people need to understand.
We’re always busy looking for signs from the universe about our path, and shit like that. We say that when we’re following our path, it gets easier because the universe says “yes” and helps us. It’s more complicated than that.
There’s a danger here of learning helplessness, groping through...

The Last Psychiatrist just released an article that beautifully articulates a point I’ve made weakly several times in my writing.
The point is essentially that we project so much of our own meaning onto the world that we forget to see what’s actually there.
… Edwards calls this the “tyranny of the symbol system” because it dictates to us, forces our hand to draw symbols rather...

I start working around 8 in the morning, and I’m normally done by 8 at night. Last week I took Sunday off, and built some games.
But what am I doing that I call work? How can I look back at the end of the day and know I was “productive”?
Hours worked are irrelevant. The real question is:
What have you built today that has enduring value?
I could argue that my photo readings have...

Angela Artemis from PoweredByIntuition.com just did a great interview with me about energy work and my book Energy Anatomy.
In the interview I talk about:
My background as a healer
The path that got me to healing
What “energy work” means to me
The value of skepticism
Physically seeing energy
Analytical versus Intuitive balance in the Third Eye
Who should go for energy healing?
Discord among...

I really wanted to quit my job. I was too afraid of the domino effect to do it though. Quitting my job meant not being able to pay my mortgage and take care of my family.
We get stuck because we start thinking about the domino effect. The fear that the changes we want are going to cause a cascade of changes we don’t want.
The sticking point here is that we spend all this time thinking about the...

This is a photo reading I did with Susan. The only information I had going into this reading was her name and this photo. Here’s how the reading went!
My Reading
Susan,
You’re a beautiful and gentle soul. You have an almost child-like energy.
You feel anxious and sometimes fearful, and that you have a man that balances that by making you feel secure. He’s masculine, and grounded, pretty...

People are born with talents. You better hope you get one that’s impressive or lucrative, because otherwise you’re screwed.
Take these two artists for example:
Artist #1
Artist #2
I didn’t choose these two artists so I could pick on the first one though. I actually picked these two because they illustrate my point, and there’s something really interesting about both of these guys:...

This is a photo reading I did with Karen. The only information I had going into this reading was her name and this photo. Here’s how the reading went!
My Reading
Karen,
You’re beautiful, and I can see that you’re frustrated.
You have children, but I don’t think you’re with their father anymore. I think that’s part of the frustration you’re feeling. It’s coming...

This is a photo reading I did with Lauren. The only information I had going into this reading was her name and this photo. Here’s how the reading went!
My Reading
Lauren,
You’re a lovely girl, and very bright.
You’re a little lost right now, which is fine. You’re not sure who you are or what your calling really is, so you’re just doing what you’re...

Beginning in July I did a 40 day no orgasm trial. When you go from orgasming every day to orgasming never, it may seem that the energy and ecstasy of the orgasms is somehow lost. Like if you don’t use it that day, it’s lost.
What I found out is first that that energy ends up being redirected into more intense emotions and into a spectacular creative flow. Second, when the release finally does...

The Air Force sent Ed to the AFAFRICA component of Africom after decades of flying C-130 cargo planes all over the world. He retired while operating out of Angola after 24 years in military service.
He earned a reputation in the military for being ready, willing, and able to fly over the most dangerous territories, sometimes landing in hostile zones without adequate ground troops to protect him.
His...
