Quotes:

“To know thyself is the beginning of wisdom.” – Socrates

Quotes:

“It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves.” — Sir Edmund Hillary

"The child’s first attempts at autonomy are marked by ambivalence—both a longing for independence and a deep fear of losing the comforting security of the mother." - Margaret Mahler (Austrian Psychiatrist, Researcher)

"In becoming an individual, there is always a loss—a sense of insecurity that arises when one must leave the familiar behind to step into the unknown." - Margaret Mahler

Today, many people are recognizing that spiritual belief is massively growing. Topics like near-death experience, spiritual exploration and the use of psychedelics have recently been discussed in such main stream spaces as the NY Time, National Geographic, VOX, The Guardian, and are frequently covered in Psychology Today. Spiritual ideas which seemed hippie, “woo-woo,” and “out-there” only 20 years ago, are now part of the cultural conversation. There’s a shift happening. We are in a state of spiritual awakening. But what exactly is this thing we call a spiritual awakening? In episode 2 of this series, I cover these topics and more.

The Age of Aquarius, The Shift, The Great Awakening, The New Earth, The Dawn of a New Era, The Age of Enlightenment, The Era of Spiritual Transformation. It’s been said many ways, but it means the same thing.

These terms imply significant changes or transitions in consciousness and spiritual awareness. Today I start a two-part series on the spiritual age we are currently in. What does it mean? And how do we embrace it?

Quotes:

"There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self." -Ernest Hemingway

"It’s as if men are always on guard, always ready for a challenge, as if their very identity is at stake with every interaction." – Norah Vincent

"What I’d experienced as a man…was not the soul-deadening callousness I’d imagined but the exact opposite: a suffocating solitude." Vincent

"Men are, in fact, imprisoned by their roles as well, just as women are. They are held captive by their need to perform, to be the provider, the protector, the strong one, to keep all emotions in check." – Vincent

"A man’s success is measured by what he is willing to sacrifice to achieve it." –Bruce Lee

"A man’s greatest fear is that he is not good enough. His greatest fear is that he will be found out to be a failure, and everything he has built will come crumbling down." - David Deida, The Way of the Superior Man
