PASSION is another life value on the WHSP3R Wheel.
Until very recently I considered PASSION to include only so-called “positive” emotions, such as joy or exhileration. Then three influences thankfully converged to convince me otherwise.
My partner Terrie had actually been encouraging me for some time to embrace all of my feelings–whether sadness, anger, fear or joy. [...]

What is Passion?
Karma, Lightning & a Few Deep Breaths
One aspect of karma is that our previous experiences (especially the traumatic ones, and often from our childhood) produce ‘triggers’ that appear in our adult life. These triggers–like inner bolts of invisible lightning–cause us to react like a puppet-on-a-string to a current situation that evokes within us (at a subconscious level) emotions from our past. [...]
Life Purpose & Career: Same, Related or What?
For many years I was mesmerized by the belief that finding my life purpose was the same as finding the “right” career. I was convinced that everyone was on a quest to find work they love, a career they feel passionate about, and that this quest was inherent as part of being human.
I no longer [...]
Cell Phone Courtesy and Toltec Wisdom
I heard on the radio recently that July is cell phone courtesy month. How interesting that we have a single DAY to celebrate such things as the birth of Christ, the life of Martin Luther King and the independence of our country–but for cell phone courtesy awareness, we now have an entire MONTH!! Must be [...]
Our Amazing Cell Phones
After my last post on cell phone synchronicities, I got to thinking about the phenomenon of cell phones themselves–their place in our culture and in our lives and how they impact our personal power. This is the first of several posts on the subject of cell phones.
Perhaps simply for my own amazement and amusement, I [...]
Cell Phone Synchronicities

I had been thinking about Tom, one of my best friends, for several days. [...]

Getting Centered
In my last post I spoke about each of us being the center of the universe. So is this just New Age “foo-foo”, or is it actually of practical significance to us moderns? I would argue that it is.
Have you ever described yourself as feeling ‘scattered’, ‘spaced out’ or perhaps ‘discombobulated’? If you were driving [...]
The Center of the Universe: YOU!
A potent source of personal power is the conscious realization and active celebration (e.g. through personal or group ritual) of the fact that each of us is at the very center of the universe.
In his essay”Symbolism of the ‘Centre’”1 historian of religion Mircea Eliade writes: “…every human being tends, even unconsciously, towards the Centre, and [...]
Symbols as a source of power and healing
In my last post I listed some quotations on symbols from a book I highly recommend, titled The Path of Empowerment by Barbara Marciniak. I would like to share with you some additional quotations from another excellent book–Personal Power through Awareness by Sanaya Roman. These perspectives on symbols emphasize their potency, as a source of [...]
