If you are like most people you do not want to miss a thing. You sense there is much joy to be had in life and you want it. Of course you do! And yet there seems to be a shortage of hours in the day. It is not that we are incapable of fitting it all in. In fact, many of us run around crazily trying to cram in as much activity as possible. It is just that there are different parts of us vying for our time and attention.
We are busy people. So how do we decide what to do and when to do it? How do we determine what our priorities will be and where to focus our energies? Unless we take time to get to know our whole self - to move beyond our limited human perspective to embrace our more expanded spiritual vision - we may find ourselves going through the motions of our lives without much conviction, direction or confidence.
Currently we are going through a collective growth spurt where the ways of "the old human" no longer work for "the new human" we are rapidly becoming. For ease let us simplify this profound process of evolution with a simple distinction between the "old human" and the "new human". Two entirely different species!
Our human self, old and new, is the individualized expression of our greater Spiritual Self. It is our unique personality housed within our physical body animated and energized with thoughts and feelings. But there is one dramatic difference between the old human and the new human and a world of difference in how each makes choices and prioritizes.
The Old Human is largely identified with the physical body and physical world. It has forgotten it's larger Spiritual Self and lives imagining that what it thinks and feels and sees - from the human perspective- is all that there is. The old human determines what is real - and makes decisions - primarily based upon what it detects through the five senses. It does not believe anything else exists.
The New Human knows it has both a physically oriented point of awareness and a vast non-physical Spiritual consciousness as well. One without the other feels limited and disconnected. The New Human makes choices after aligning with its own Spiritual Self within. It knows that with alignment it is connected to a wealth of replenishing and nourishing inner resources and that choices made from a spiritual perspective are the most fulfilling ones.
By developing a direct and personal relationship with our own Spiritual Self we each find our own way to make this shift from old human to new human. With practice we learn to remember our spiritual nature. And bit-by-bit we release our limited ideas about ourselves to know ourselves to be a whole person.
Decisions made from wholeness feel different inside. Instead of second-guessing our decisions we relax and trust our choices. If we don't like the results we attract we make new choices. Instead of feeling limited we feel adventurous. It is a new way of being human - to live and choose as a Whole Person.

Frequently Asked Questions
Family vs. boyfriend
By: Daphne | 29-09-2008
Not sure where to begin but my family (an aunt, uncle, a few cousins, and closest brother) dislike my boyfriend. We have been together for 7 months. The few times me and him have been with the above mentioned family member there was a lot of alcohol involved and my bf got a bit obnoxious. My brother is my best friend and things got crazy last weekend. He threw a full can of beer in my boyfriends direction as we were leaving the bar (which we left because my brother's friend told me that he was upset because my bf was there) and nearly hit him in the head. Now, my brother is not a violent type of person at all and he had been drinking a lot that day, not saying that is an excuse. That was not the first night that he has told me that I deserve better. My other family members (that were mentioned) have blantantly told me that they hate him. I am so very confused right now with what I am feeling. I feel like I am never going to be able to bring him around my family, which I am very close to my family and it hurts me very much to have this happening. Its not fair to my bf that this is happening and that I can not square away my feelings. Prior to this incident I attempted seducing him and he couldn't perform, which put a damper on our sex life, which has upset him but I don't have a great sense of self confidence so I can not go through being rejected again. I'm numb right now and need some advice from anyone as to what I can do to figure out what I am feeling or how to make this better for everyone if we are to stay together???

By: Bobbi | 29-09-2008
My husband and I have been together 22 years. My father passed away earlier this year in another state and my husband did not come to the funeral or come the week before when I asked if he would to be with me. He said he had to work. Two months later he took 3 days off work and went to his cousin's husbands funeral - a man I had never met in 22 years. Now 6 months later I'm still having difficulties getting past this hurt and know I need to just "get over it". Any suggestions on how to move on and forgive and forget?

By: Maria | 29-09-2008
I am in a marriage for 16 years. My husband used to be attentive and respectful, though he always had a drinking problem. In the last 3 years i have found seen another side of him that has led me into depression to the point that I haven't been able to go to work fro over 2 weeks. I am in treatment but doesn't seem to help. I finally have come terms with the reaity that we have to separate. I have tried to communicate that to him but he just avoids the discussion. My problem is that I cant afford a divorce lawyer and the house that I live in is in my name. I am so stuck.. I wish I could write more because the situation is of emotional abuse, neglect.
