Thank You, E-Infancy and Some Personal Info!


Thank you everyone for reading my blog and to all of you that have given me feedback in the form of comments online and in person! Your support has kept me going and I wanted you to know that it is much appreciated.
 Also, thank you for passing it along via Facebook and other channels to other souls that might find the information useful. When it comes to the appropriate e-protocol, I am still an infant (actively working on getting out of diapers).                   
 So, please excuse anything that is missing like my personal profile. I am currently working on my website and hope it’ll be launched before the end of the year.
 In the mean time, I’d like to share one of my creative trial versions of my bio that I wrote.
I hope this fills a bit of the gap for now and stay tuned for more original posts coming soon!

 Here it is:

I love trees, the smell of the earth and the wind on my face.
I love a hot nice cup of tea with a dash of cream.
I love Rock’n Roll,
I love quiet contemplation in the middle of a noisy day, exploring the mysteries of life and human nature.
I love a good sense of humor, people that don’t take themselves too seriously and I love “LOVE” in any form.
I love soul twinkles in people’s eyes, heartfelt smiles and random acts of kindness.
I love animals and nature.
I am inspired to witness healing and growth in my self and others.
I believe that people can change, that we can learn and evolve, even if it takes a few centuries.
I am inspired by forgiveness, the strength of the human heart and second chances.
I love to watch great movies; any genre other than Horror… as long as it has a good story.
I love being practical and inventive.
In my free time, I love to read suspense thrillers and family sagas, the more epic the better.
I live for long uninterrupted, multi-faceted conversations with friends and fellow travelers.
I do get overwhelmed at times, by crowds, big productions and modern day life. It all can be a bit noisy.
I do seek balance between ancient, spiritual and modern, practical reality.
I look for the divine spark in everything.
I appreciate beauty in the least likely places.
I get confused and intrigued by the paradox of life.
What makes me get out of bed in the morning is my curiosity… and to be able to help others help themselves.
I strive to have the courage to be my best self every day. I seek the balance between self-acceptance and self-improvement. I aim to love what is and to conceive of what is possible.
I love: untangling complicated knots, never giving-up yet having the wisdom to surrender.
I am still working on expanding to find more patience with myself, and this thing called life.
I challenge myself to approach life with a beginner’s mind; I look at the world like I have never seen it before while allowing myself to use my accumulated ancient soul knowledge. I am fully aware that today might be the day when the infinite mystery of life is going to surprise me with something completely different.
I believe that we all make sense, no matter how many unknown variables there are within the calculation.
Life is a treasure hunt- I have been given some very cool clues, yet many things are still hidden from my view.
I am no prophet, no saint and no guru. I am just a karmically challenged soul that is in the process of self-healing and has discovered some useful, practical tools (helpful for some, certainly not everyone).
I love life and I have made peace with my journey.
I harvest the pearls from the challenges and the pain.
I believe everything is forgivable which doesn’t mean we don’t have to pay a karmic price for our crimes.
I like to think outside the box when it blocks my view.
 I believe in using the right tools in the right situations.
I use discernment in life and stay aware of the force field between divinely inspired miracles and human limitations.
I am aware of being work in progress and I am excited about that.
I am a student of life…

The Purpose Behind Really “Crappy” Experiences on Planet Earth!


I like to refer to life on planet earth as spiritual boot camp. Sure, there are a gazillion wonderful and blissful moments that we get to live during our epic journey, but when the going gets tough, boy can it get rough. Just thinking of all the loved ones lost, the plagues, the famines, the wars, the betrayal, the heartbreak, the guilt, the fear to name a few; phew, I get tired just thinking about it. Especially the experiences that our souls label as unforgivable or the ones that come with a loss you feel that you’ll never recover from. The big question her is: how can I reframe my earthly experiences in a way that allows me to heal and to move on?

Let’s look at earth as a school. Each lifetime, souls can sign up for a human avatar (the human body) that gets left behind at the end of each experience.
If you look at the soul reality, all souls end up being OK and we never truly get separated from loved ones. Each personality and character we play is like a role in a movie where the soul actor gets to have certain experiences. At the end of each life it’s a wrap and eventually we get to learn the lessons we came here to learn.

Life on this planet is experienced in a force field of duality. Everything has it’s polar opposite: shadow and light, good and evil, male and female, hot and cold, yin and yang etc. If you took the energetic elevator a few floors up, you’d end up in the realm of divine neutrality, where the polarized energies are harmonized once more.
If as a soul, you have existed and experienced yourself in very light dimensions (other than planet earth), where you have light on light and love on love, there are certain frequencies that you can’t learn and develop. In order to experience and exercise forgiveness, compassion, stamina and unconditional love i.e., we all need the conflict and the shadow as well as things going “wrong” to learn the meaning of these frequencies.

Some souls tend to feel a bit superior to other soul species before they come to planet earth. The human avatar allows us to equalize the playing field to a degree to fully absorb the experiences we sign up for. The amnesia does the rest. We are fully in character, and if we kill someone, we actually believe that they are dead. What really happens is that we kicked them out of their costume, like a character being killed off on Soap Opera. They just start to audition for a new part, the very next week.
We all have killed and been killed in this game numerous times and we have received new avatars for our next assignments. If you are having a hard time letting go of certain events in your soul’s past, remind yourself what the lessons were you wanted to learn. This is another opportunity to learn patience, forgiveness, and compassion on your journey to evolve as a soul. There is nothing that is ultimately unforgivable.

Be open to shine some light into the seemingly dark and “crappy” corners of your soul’s history. Nothing ever happens in vain and with the ability to transmute our own experiences, we become more able to assist others on their path. We can evolve from our gigantic, self-loathing pity-parties to healed, compassionate and wise versions of ourselves. If you are reading this, it might just be your time to take this next step!

Commit Random Acts of Kindness I: Don’t Overwhelm Younger Souls With The Wisdom It Took You Centuries To Gain!


How much patience and compassion do you have for your fellow travelers? Do you ever find yourself saying things like: “I would never do that”, or “ I just don’t understand why he/she doesn’t fix it; I already told them how to”, or “ the issue that they are dealing with is really not that hard, it should have been fixed ages ago”, or “my intuition showed me clearly that it’s all their stuff and has nothing to do with me”.

Do people ever reflect back to you that you are harsh, given unsolicited feedback, that you are being arrogant, that you overwhelm people or that you get snappy and impatient when your advice and wisdom isn’t put to proper use?

If any of this sound familiar (and please for everyone’s sake, let’s be brutally honest here), it might be time to ease up a bit on the world around you! Life on planet earth is challenging and it takes thousands of years to learn certain lessons. If you, as an old soul, have mastered certain lessons, good for you! Now please, check your past life records and remind yourself that you didn’t get there overnight. In fact, look at the areas of your life that you are currently struggling with and see how much time and energy you have already spent into “fixing” it. Imagine some enlightened master coming along and telling you to get over it. How loved would that make you feel? Would you experience that kind of approach as supportive and constructive?
I know that I wouldn’t!

We all desire to be seen and met, where we are at in our evolution.
Picture a kid in school. When that kid enters first grade he/she will be excited to learn the alphabet, if you come along and demand an essay on Shakespeare and get impatient, the kid might be discouraged to even learn how to read and write because he/she will experience himself/herself as a failure. If the same kid gets taught the skills with love and patience he/she will want to excel and feel good about himself/herself and in a few years he/she will be able to write the essay.

A music student who is tone deaf will not become a concert pianist. Would you yell at him/her because you happen to have a perfect pitch?

In these examples, it is very obvious what we can expect from a fellow human being.
However, the stages of soul evolution aren’t always as apparent.
A person playing the part of your boss, your parent, your older sibling might all be in truth much younger souls who have a lot less earthly life experience.

Gauge the person’s soul age instead of getting confused by their physical appearance.
When you find yourself saying: “ She is my mother, she should know better”, or
“I am twenty years younger, I shouldn’t have to explain this over and over”. Think again!
If you find you are annoyed and losing your patience, it is a wonderful opportunity to work on compassion and to become a kinder more effective spiritual mentor.
Treat others the way you would want to be treated if you came across a more evolved being than yourself.

Gauge others evolutionary capacities and meet them exactly where they are.
You will be amazed at what a difference this can make and how much more open younger souls will be to actually listen to what you have to say!
