Groupthink and Awakening from the Dream

Warning: Not for the politically-correct faint-of-heart.

This definition is care of Psychology Today:

Groupthink is a phenomenon that occurs when a group of well-intentioned people make irrational or non-optimal decisions spurred by the urge to conform or the belief that dissent is impossible. The problematic or premature consensus that is characteristic of groupthink may be fueled by a particular agenda—or it may be due to group members valuing harmony and coherence above critical thought.

Sometimes I Wakeup CrabbyI read a Facebook post today opining how “up” has become “down” and “down” has become “up”. The tail now wags the dog in many ways throughout our society. The Facebook poster talked about what I call the groupthink of enforced political correctness. Yet these “conventions” of political correctness are now strangely accepted as normal and sane.

What is my Trajectory?

NeoFlyingA few months ago, I pulled the trigger on a new phase of my life. Some might call it van life or perpetual traveler or perhaps my version of walkabout or vision quest. Regardless of the label, I took direct action in stepping outside my comfort zone in a big way on a journey into deep unknowns. (See recent posts on rites of passage that we have abandoned in western cultures as well as my van life journey so far.)

I’m referring to the unknowns I will encounter within myself. Truly, those are the ones we let stop us from following our higher-self guidance, from releasing false obligation, and from growing into something greater. The external fears or resistance we encounter in outer life are reflections of our inner dynamic.

Another milestone for me was Jessica Alstrom’s Quantum Revolution Tour (QRT) event held in Kansas City two weeks ago. It was ground-breaking and impactful on a personal level for many if not all of us who attended. And I keep hearing of the integration that so many of us are experiencing following the event.

For me, the QRT event has given me impetus to take my next step into my unknowns. Into actively participating in helping our world awaken, with a focus on awakening the Divine Masculine. Here we go…

Creating the Future We Want

DivineMasc1I wanted to share some of my latest visions for our future. And what’s the best way to predict the future? It’s to dream it and then create it.

Toward the end of a recent workshop I attended, anyone who wanted to speak was invited on stage to share. I felt entirely at ease in going up and sharing. I expressed my thoughts about my path to where I am now and where I see our higher dimensional world headed. I don’t know if it made sense to anyone else but it made sense to me.

During the prior evening of the workshop, I shared a vision of the future that I had written in 2013. It was framed in the form of a Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, projected some years into the future. The speech was meant to paint a picture of the changes in the world that I envisioned that were both needed and possible.

I’d like to express here a major part of what has been on my mind in sharing the speech and in speaking briefly on stage. [Read more…]

Hire a Coach…

or how I escaped from the Borg cult that ended in mass suicide

BorgCube

Are you trapped in the Borg collective?
(For non-Star Trek watchers, this is a Star Trek reference: Borg as in cyborg.)

Do you feel stuck in the Matrix and want to break free?

Even if you’re not a fan of Star Trek or the Matrix movies from several years back, these questions are metaphors for life.

For me, I was in a cult for 18 years. I joined the cult initially because I believed it provided a path to ascension. But like the analogy of the frog in the pot of water on the stove, unaware of the rising temperature until it’s too late, the cult changed diametrically over time. As with the Star Trek Borg society, [Read more…]

The Healing Place that is Culinaria

LemonRicottaCakeIs it possible for a restaurant to be a healing place? In my humble opinion, yes! On my third visit to Culinaria Mediterranean Kitchen, a full-service restaurant in East Lawrence, Kansas, I had the opportunity to meet and speak with owners Regan and Aaron Pillar. They are the unassuming, down-to-earth husband-and-wife creative partnership that own and operate Culinaria with their team. They successfully established Culinaria as a catering business starting in September 2009, and eight years later, in September 2017, they opened Culinaria to the public.

Culinaria’s food artistry blends locally grown seasonal produce and meats, old-country Mediterranean style food with Aaron’s creative flair, and nourishing, flavorful, yet simple food combinations to create an unforgettable dining experience.

Culinaria’s creative expression extends to the welcoming ambiance of their dining room. The natural environment and bright artwork invite an experience of Zen-like relaxation perfect for celebrating wonderful food and good company, even if you just bring yourself!

From the moment you arrive, [Read more…]
