A Few Questions from Fellow Seekers

I’m not sure what to do. I know something is off because I feel it in my stomach. Should I listen to this?

“Yes, listen. When the heart is convinced of the truth you should never tune it out.  Our first grief is feeling severed from this guidance. It happens to the stomach so it makes sense we would feel it there. Our second grief is loss of our signature or authentic expression. The angst that marks these two events remind us we can self-correct.”  

Sometimes my emotional pain is more than I can bear. I can’t help but ask why this is happening to me?

“Life does not always come with instructions, but one thing is certain, suffering is intended to be a teacher. When we have a valid context, we can know why. In the end, we must learn not who (ego) but what (unifying intelligence) is observing our lives? While the ego believes there is a right or wrong way to be, the heart seeks an ethical or contextual way. If we can feel more (in the present) and emote less (from the past) life changes.”   

What makes Intentional Evolution a unique approach to psychological and spiritual growth?

Intentional Evolution stands out as a unique approach to personal growth due to its emphasis on the *self-correcting nature of the human psyche. This insight alone is life-changing and transformational. Here are some other reasons: 

  1. Holistic Perspective: Unlike traditional methods that may focus solely on psychological or spiritual aspects, Intentional Evolution combines these with a psychospiritual perspective. This approach acknowledges the interconnectedness of the soul, spirit, ego, and heart, facilitating a comprehensive understanding of the human experience​​.

  2. Humane Spectrum: Introducing the humane spectrum allows individuals to assess and balance their egocentric and compassionate tendencies. This knowlege carries no stigma and trasfers to daily life as a lived expereince. 

  3. Integration of Dualities: Intentional Evolution addresses the dualities introduced by the formation of the ego through language—such as self and other, good and bad. By merging these dualities, it helps individuals achieve a more harmonious and unified state of being, promoting greater self-awareness and emotional balance​​.

  4. Heart as Compass: It hard to bellieve but, in today's world people need to be reminded what is guiding them. The adaptive ego was intended to be a 'default' guide for our external life NOT the inward journey. Making the shift from an ego-driven to a heart-centered approach encourages individuals to live authentically and compassionately, fostering a deeper connection with themselves and others​​.

  5. Transformation through Suffering: Recognizing that suffering and adversity are integral to personal growth, Intentional Evolution encourages individuals to see these experiences as opportunities for transformation. Many people often say 'things happen for a reason.' This perspective not only gives you the 'reasons' but it also helps in developing resilience, wisdom, and compassion​​ during their discovery.

Life is just not turning out like I thought it would. Why can’t I be happy?

“This is the human spirit provoking the ego to awaken. Do not confuse angst with unhappiness. If you awaken to the present moment—happiness follows. There is a myth that human angst disappears when we are in a good place. Think about it. We would never accomplish anything without the motivational angst of the human spirit.” 

I used to trust easily but now I do not. What has happened?

“Because we all begin as feeling beings, we are harmed early. The heart would say hurt me once, shame on you. The ego would say hurt me twice, shame on me. Good-bye trust. Imagine it this way. When the heart breaks it cracks open. When the ego breaks it becomes tightly closed. Lost trust is an ego thing. Your heart still knows the difference between true and false, the ego has no clue. In truth, the ego has always been the poor judge of another’s character. It may hurt a little but stay open.”  

During these turbulent times, what do you think is the healthiest course of action that a person can take?

“The outside world is often a reflection of what is happening inside of us. First, determine if the turbulence is uniquely external. If it is, find the calm you seek in your inner life.  Second, if the disturbance is both inside and outside of you, choose your inner life as the priority. Remember, ‘normal’ is when your inside and outside worlds are aligned. Inside first...as this is the only control you have. How you feel and think matters. It is better to align with your heart’s intent versus focus on the often-chaotic personal and collective ego. Remember, we are here to have a reciprocal relationship with ourselves then the world around us. You will find that this form of congruence is actually contagious. This will bring you the healthiest outcome.”

When understood and applied, this knowledge has the potential to fundamentally alter one's life trajectory. At its core, Intentional Evolution offers something truly extraordinary: a glimpse into the Soul's Intent. This is not an exaggeration, but a recognition of the deep, often hidden purpose revealed during challenging experiences. It suggests that within our struggles lies a roadmap to our highest potential and truest selves. Consider the implications of this for a moment. The wisdom shared here is not imposed from outside us, but rather was uncovered from within the human experience itself. It is knowledge that has come out of human resilience, emerging as a gift from humanity, to humanity, for the benefit of all humanity. This realization carries with it a sense of responsibility and urgency if we are to grow beyond ego. Such profound insights, with their potential to transform lives and foster real evolution, have become my passion to share.
