I write a bunch of spiritual awakening posts every year, but few ever get noticed once if even that. So I felt like pulling together a short compilation of posts from 2018 that would be worth reading again or for the first time if you missed them or you are new to me.

The Search for Love

One of the things people most seek is love. It’s a powerful drive, and at times, it can be felt almost viscerally as a kind of craving.

Craving is a powerful force for action, but it also creates suffering. In the following 2018 spiritual blog post, I talk about craving love and how we learn to seek true love instead of a passing fancy.

How the Ego Is Always Ready to Jump Ship

The ego never really wants to do inner work. In most people, it’s just waiting to get whatever it came for and quit.

In the following blog post, I talk about this trap and what happens when people come to spiritual inner work with such thinking.

Creating the Right Mindset for Awakening

A spiritual awakening rocks people’s worlds. It’s not something to come to with silly ideas of everyday bliss or the resolution of all your aches and pains.

The following blog post is one of a couple posts about how to build up a person so that they are ready for the fires of spiritual transformation.

Losing Your Individuality

Western culture places a great deal of emphasis on individuality, so it can be really strange and/or upsetting to watch that individuality get washed away.

Losing a Sense of “I” and Individuality

Rest and the Spiritual Path

Working endlessly on yourself is the path to a serious breakdown. Inner work has its place as does rest.
