Losing our connection with Spirit may be the biggest problem we suffer from today. We want to face our challenges and disappointment with grace; be creative and inspired; feel excited by a purpose; and live fearlessly through an intuitive, guiding wisdom. We want to love and feel loved, and realize genuine peace . . . but as much as we desire a significant spiritual breakthrough and long to know our Divine selves, we’re still not making the commitment that will ensure our success.

We want the gifts, but we’re not engaging in the practical work necessary to obtain them, so we remain stuck and more frustrated than ever. We know a lot about the power of Spirit, yet we aren’t actually experiencing it. And we cannot do so through intellectual pursuits alone. In fact, we can only experience it through a deep, intentional daily practice of connecting with Spirit.

When you truly make this connection, you’ll realize that it’s the most authentic, lasting power you have in your life. In this enlightening book, spiritual teacher Sonia Choquette will show you that even though you can’t control the outside world, with the power of your Spirit, you can create a sense of purpose within that brings about profound contentment and personal peace—no matter what is going on around you.

About Jennifer Berezan:

Jennifer Berezan is not your typical singer/songwriter and her work continues to expand artistic boundaries, blurring the distinctions between musical styles, politics, and spirituality.

Though her songs often confront universal issues, her perspective is informed by a refreshing and honest intimacy. Raised in the prairies of Alberta, Canada, the transformative power of nature is also at the heart of her work. The Canadian born singer calls Berkeley, California home when not on tour.

We have great gift ideas for teachers and grads!

As we go about our day, we have many thoughts and emotions. These in turn lead us to have certain reactions and take certain actions. What actions and reactions flow forth from each situation will differ for each person. The same situation can cause completely opposite reactions in different people. Why is this? How can this be? Let us have a closer look.

If I were to put a rat down in a room full of people, each person will react differently based on their past experiences. One person might have had a pet rat in his or her childhood and thinks the rat is cute, smiling at the sight of the rat. The next person might have never seen a rat before and will be curious or perhaps scared to find out what this rat is all about. The next person might have learned from childhood that rats are dirty, that they carry disease, so this person will run away from the rat or jump up on a chair, most likely while screaming. Can you see how the same situation creates many different emotions, actions and reactions?

There are two worlds through which we experience life; one can be called as “The world” and the other one as “My world”. “The World” refers to a situation, a happening, which could also be called a “factual reality”. It simply is what it is. “My World” refers to my experience of that situation, of that happening. This is also called a “cognitive reality”. In “The world” something happens, in “my world” I experience the happening through my interpretation based on my past experiences and believes. This means that one situation can cause many different reactions, experiences, depending on each person.

To use the previous example, this is the factual reality: “There is a rat in the room.” The cognitive reality will differ, depending on each person’s experience. Each person has their own cognitive reality. The beautiful thing is that there is no one reality right or wrong. When we are fully identified with our own cognitive reality, with “my world”, we usually cannot or are not willing to see things from another person’s perspective. We feel a sense of righteousness. Yet the other person feels the same way. So who is right then? The answer is: both and nobody simultaneously.

Here is the deepest truth, the “Sacred Secret” in this: there is no right or wrong! Everything just is what it is, just because that’s how it is. It is as simple as that! The mind goes on trying to understand, justify, examine and interpret life’s happenings. The ironic part is that it is not the happening itself, but trying to make logical sense of this happening that causes the suffering in our lives! When we understand that beyond each cognitive reality there is a factual reality, that it is what it is for no reason (because life is reasonless!), the mind relaxes and life becomes so juicy, fresh and exciting. We then relax into the present moment, into our being.

In your life can you find the areas where you experience conflict? What is the conflict? Can you see what your cognitive reality is and what the factual reality is? Awareness is the key. When there is awareness, we experience freedom. The only way out is in.
