How the brain works with PTSD & Trauma
Aline and I are available for sessions with those who are suffering from trauma, PTSD, and CPTSD, as we utilize the Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT / Meridian Tapping) to neutralize the core memories and re-pattern them so that they are no longer felt in the body, but just a memory.

The Psychology of Obedience and The Virtue of Disobedience
This is extremely relevant to the current drama playing out on the world stage. Are you willing to develop your inner sense of Self to the degree that is necessary to leave behind this corrupt system of external rule? Are you willing to take responsibility for yourself, and learn how to work together with others in a Voluntaryist manner; with those who also desire self-rule? When push comes to shove […] Read more »
Social Conditioning: Is Pop Music Holding You Hostage?
This video clearly demonstrates how our music tastes are engineered, and how we rarely get to discover what we like for ourselves. It’s not a stretch to think that the “trending now” section in social media searches is also using the same formula for pushing what is and is not news to the unsuspecting masses. Incidentally, this is also the formula for the nightly news, morning news, newspapers, magazines, etc… […] Read more »
What is Shadow Work?
Some people think that shadow work is screaming into a pillow, or allowing full expression of their emotions, but this is a gross oversimplification of the role of emotions, and of the nature of shadow work. Our emotions are the messengers that communicate the current state of our alignment between our thoughts and our inner being (Source), and they provide us with detailed information, much like we would receive from […] Read more »
Genders, Rights and Freedom of Speech
I find Professor Jordan Peterson a refreshing breath of fresh air, as he is able to articulate multilogical perspectives, avoid getting baited by motivated and/or biased reasoning, and hold a rational discourse free from being argumentative. I’ve watched more than a few of his lectures and interviews now, and am grateful that he is speaking up for truth in the face of Marxist political rhetoric. I also appreciate that he […] Read more »
Objectivity, Boundaries, Influence, and the Prime Directive
It is not fair minded nor objective to lower our standards of thinking to engage with those who are prone to closed mindedness, or are in the midst of an emotional bias causing them to engage us with motivated reasoning. Meaning, we do not need to dialogue with, nor consider, closed minded, biased, one dimensional, irrational, and judgmental perspectives in order to remain fair minded and objective. Engaging with the […] Read more »
External or Internal Unity?
Did you know that synonyms for “unity” include “unique” and “aligned”? External unity based on a shared ideology and conformity to group standards are the selling points of patriotism, religious ideologies, social movements, and more, and such external unity uses its weight of collective expression to exert pressure on the internal being of others different from them. However, unity can also be an internal experience of being aligned, where a […] Read more »
What is our Locus of Control, and Why Does it Matter?
Do you have an internal or external locus of control? What does that mean, and how does it relate to the Mandela Effect? How does where we place our locus of control impact the quality of our lives? If you are interested in learning more about this subject, watch on… In a the previous video I discuss our locus of control, and how it relates to cause and effect, and […] Read more »
How to Discern if a Spiritual Teacher and/or Path is Worth Your Consideration
In a world filled with teachers, paths, and methodologies, it is important to learn how to filter out the wheat from the dross, as a means of maximizing the potential acolyte’s own evolution and self-development with the least amount of dead ends, drama, and false starts. As a result of my own experiences within the mystical arts, I have designed a checklist of questions meant to assist those acolytes aligned […] Read more »
The Core of Argumentativeness: Confirmation Bias and Motivated Reasoning
It has become painfully obvious to me that many people are unable to get past their confirmation bias and motivated reasoning enough on emotionally charged topics to actually read and comprehend what has been presented by fair minded thinkers. They will bypass around fair minded information, even if it clearly addresses their concerns, because they perceive that it conflicts with their biases — and skip straight to arguing against points that […] Read more »
