Psychotherapy As a Vehicle to Spirituality

Psychotherapy as the vehicle for spirituality is about healing the wounds of our egoist nature by unlearning our subconscious miss-beliefs, and becoming more conscious of that which sabotages our journey. This consciousness allows us to embrace the detached perspective of witnessing. The only way to do this is to discern the empowered stance of the witness from the acting out personality of our ego. Once we accomplish this we are free to engage the play of life and learn our lessons without getting caught up in the script. This facilitates empowerment, wisdom, and living in our divine self.

Jesus’ Sacrifice

From a historical perspective, I suppose we would regard as the most notorious of criminals – the greatest sinner of them all – to be someone like Hitler or Stalin from modern-day history or Nero from ancient Roman history. It may then come as a shock to realize that the most notorious criminal as well as the greatest sinner of all time was actually Jesus of Nazareth. Sound appalling?

Find Emotional Health in the Deep End of the Water

Recent surveys have revealed that 75% of Americans are unhappy in their present jobs.
