Thanks Chris I have a shared experience in which my mother gave me cassette tapes of Ram Dass and Angeles Arian and while I felt better and truly believe I started to think in ways that were helpful.. I was also so frustrated as a young man about how to simply make enough money, provide a future for my self and/or make something of myself. Forward to todays struggles of the young adults I work with as well as watching my three sons navigate your outline is a reminder of a broader way of listening and asking questions and I greatly appreciate it.

Love this, Chris! There is a big difference between wishful thinking (a la The Secret) and holding an image of a future that is pregnant with possibility. I appreciate you honoring both the complexity of pain and struggle, as well as the power of story to widen our horizons without dismissing that reality.

Thanks for this thoughtful reflection on manifestation. The both/and approach works for so many situations and I hadn’t thought about applying in this way before. Very helpful!

I LOVE this post! It was so insightful. Feel free to check out my work about the law of assumption and consciousness as well! xoxo
