The more technology shrinks and connects our world, the more we are confronted with challenges that we have to deal with, almost on a daily basis. As I watch it all unfold, I will be inspired from time to time, to focus attention on and share with you how my Radical Living Strategies can help all of us meet our challenges with greater ease and compassion. My hope is that these offerings give you the insight you need to create the peaceful, fulfilling life you desire.
I mentioned last week that knowing who you are is a big part of Radical Self-Forgiveness. You may remember the story of Jonathan Livingstone Seagull. Written by Richard Bach, this is the story of an ordinary seagull who aspires to escape from being just a gull. He wants to reach a higher level of . . .
A big part of Radical Self-Forgiveness is knowing who you are. As I have said before, if knowledge is power, then self-knowledge is wisdom. When we wake up and look back, we begin to see how we created separation within ourselves, and who we have become as a result. This really helps us to . . .
Even though Radical Forgiveness and Radical Self-Forgiveness take the position that, according to spiritual law, everything is as it should be and that there are no victims or perpetrators, we still are subject to human law while we are in a human body. That means we are still responsible for breaking those laws . . .
My first book, Radical Forgiveness, Making Room for the Miracle, was written in 1997. However, I didn’t pen the book on Radical Self-Forgiveness until 2008, more than 10 years later. You might wonder why I didn’t write it sooner, since it surely would have been an obvious sequel.
I did make a stab at . . .
Radical Forgiveness is the unconditional acceptance of what is, as is; because that is exactly how it is meant to be. When we apply this to ourselves, we can say that Radical Self-Forgiveness is accepting the consequences of being ourselves. We are who we are because that’s exactly who we are meant to be. . . .

By way of preparing you for an essay about death and dying coming soon, I am sharing part of a conversation between Jack, a soul who is being prepared for his incarnation, and Harley, his Angel of Incarnation. This excerpt is taken from my eBook entitled A Radical Incarnation and . . .
I have always made a big point about the fact that the tools of Radical Forgiveness do not depend on us being in a meditative state.
When I read the 13 Steps, for instance, I read out each step in a normal voice pausing only to let you register what is said and then to . . .

One of the victim archetypes that trap us in the past and saps our life energy is the Inner Child. This metaphor for our woundedness dresses up victim consciousness in cute baby clothes, but it does not make it any more acceptable. I’m not talking here about . . .
Following on my last message about transforming the energy in Egypt, it occurs to me that the underlying cause of what is happening is a conflict over whether religion and government should mix.
