The Time Has Come

"'The time has come,' the Walrus said, 'To talk of many things, of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings.'"

— Through the Looking Glass

Being alive at this time can be overwhelming. People are suffering greatly from natural disasters, wars, terrorism, diseases, economic hardships, relationship problems, addictions, and the stresses of life.

A turn of luck, a change in life circumstances, a wind blowing in one direction or the other, and the most unexpected problems engulf you. Whether you are wealthy or impoverished, an executive or a homeless person, you have to know that there is a fine line which separates one from the other. Whether you are a fiancée or a divorcee, a student or a dropout, a business magnate or a felon, a member of organized religion or an unsatisfied spiritual seeker, there often isn't all that much that separates the two.

Do you know ...
what true love is, and do you have it?
what true success is, and do you live it?
what true purpose is, and have you found it?
what true creativity is, and how to freely express it?
what the voice of your inner spirit sounds like, and do you pay attention to it?

Has anyone ever shown you how to find your way, how to live a life that is true to your own self?

How do we find true success, true love, true purpose, and lasting fulfillment? Doesn't it seem that parents, educators, and society in general fail at teaching us how to do this? We are sent out into the world unprepared, unaware, anxious and afraid. How will we succeed? read more ...
