This board is multifaceted, crossing various topics from New Age, spirituality, metaphysical, psychology, physical issues, relationships, emotions, self-help and more. It is created for those who seek change and desire to empower themselves, to live life as an expression of who they really are in unconditional love. If you think/feel that your life and this world full of denial, fear and unlovingness is totally opposite what you desire, it is no coincidence that you are here.
To say that this board will be controversial is an understatement as it goes against almost everything society presently believes to be true about emotions, feelings, life and love. But then why wouldn't it be controversial if the desire and goal is the opposite of what is presently being experienced! To empower yourself, you need to be open to challenge everything you believe to be true, especially about love, life, emotions and feelings and also be willing to end your denials of self.
I openly share the knowledge, tools, messages and insights that I've gained through sixteen years of intensive personal experience and in working with others on their journey. Feel free to visit the various forums and posts and to also add your personal experiences, comments and questions. It is my intent that the ideas and works that will be discussed within this forum will not only expand your consciousness, but also activate your emotions and touch your heart.
In love, light and life,

Hi everyone,
I was walking back form the library and I passed a beauty salon that basically did everything. I thought of the women going there to get themselves to "look pretty" and I realized that all this was another subtle form of self-hatred.
Why are woman going there? Because they don't like the way they look or their husband or friends have commented, or for whatever reason, it ultimately boils down to the fact that either they are unhappy with themselves or they are trying to change themselves to please or impress another. It's also a way in which they can make themselves "feel good." All these reasons are unloving and a form of self-hatred.
If they didn't "have to go" to the salon and they were really happy with how they looked, it wouldn't be a big deal because they wouldn't have any attachment, guilt or shame. I'm not against women wearing make-up or whatever as I think that "dressing up" can be fun if it's something that you want to do in the moment and it's not something that you feel you have to do. Now that's where the fine line is as I can hear a lot of women saying that it's something that they want to do and it's not something that they feel they have to do. If that were a truth, then STOP doing it and see what happens.
I also thought of how this also applies to other physical things we do for ourself in the name of love and not in love.
Love, Light and Life,
