Aligning Your Life: To What?

CORE BEING — Tue, 27 Oct 2026 21:43:20 GMT

‘Vibrate the Cosmos. The Cosmos shall clear the path.’
— Yogi Bhajan

Can you distill from the meditations today an inner pointer, an inner anchor, to align to daily, repeatedly, to remind you of center, to help you return ‘home’, through thick and thin?

The state of being you align to determines what you experience.

Not the other way around.

Core Being Live Session in TWO DAYS

CORE BEING — Sun, 25 Oct 2026 19:28:07 GMT

‘The cycle breaks here with me today. I will exercise my power of will often, by deliberately ignoring lesser thoughts more frequently so I can ascend to higher frequencies, attain greater insights, create stronger well-being and utilize higher states of consciousness.
I will exercise my ability to focus on my own sense of presence, or anything beneficial I decide to hold my attention on, and I will ignore everything else that does not fit in with my desired state of focus, realization and manifestation.
When I catch myself in a moment of weak-minded thinking and fear-based temptations, I will remember my freedom and power of will. In this way I will heal and empower myself to infinite ends and benefit the world through my faith and my focus.
I determined that from this day onward I will no longer tolerate myself believing in lesser thoughts, and instead focus on being present, centered, fearless, honorable and in full trust of the universe.
I believe in my power to gather and guide my own free will, and I honor and exercise that ability and responsibility daily. I am able to concentrate on whatever it is I choose to focus on that I know will bring benefit to myself. and others.
I am no longer allowing myself to believe that I am weak-minded and that weak-minded thoughts are normal, or that the way other human minds choose to live is the way that it is or the way that reality works.’
— Bentinho Massaro, Declaration of Free Will

The Intuitive Wisdom of Core Being

CORE BEING — Tue, 22 Sep 2026 21:30:21 GMT

“Anything that you can subtract from your consciousness without losing your sense of “I-ness,” you are not that. You must peel off these titles from the soul. “I think, but I am not the thought. I feel, but I am not the feeling. I will, but I am not the will.” What is left? The you that knows you exist; the you that feels you exist — through the proof given by intuition, the soul’s unconditioned knowing of its own existence.
That is what I learned in India: to be centralized in the Self and constantly remain in that unbounded attitude…”
― Paramahansa Yogananda

Today we explored intuition, what it is, what gets in the way of intuitive connection, and what creates ‘static’, how to have more access to intuitive wisdom, and how that can look unique to each person (depending on how we receive information), but also the commonalities for us all.

To gain access to the higher states of being, we must develop our intuitive channel— the mind and intellect cannot take us there.

You Can Always Start Over

CORE BEING — Tue, 08 Sep 2026 21:19:39 GMT

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
― Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of “A Course in Miracles”

The primary obstacles to the higher states (that we all desire to abide in and as) are shame and blame.

Realize that you have the ability, right now, with conviction, to completely stop the mind loops, the shame and blame stories, and even to completely start over, brand new, like a newborn, and to never pick up those stories ever again.

Can you become willing to drop the shame and blame permanently?

Today we finished up The 5 Personality Patterns by Steven Kessler.

The videos are all free to watch, and you can find them all in order here:

-Intro and Chapters 1 & 2
-Chapters 3, 4, 5 and the full chart in Chapter 6
-Chapter 7- The Leaving Pattern
-Chapter 8- The Merging Pattern
-Chapter 9- The Enduring Pattern
-Chapter 10- The Leader/Aggressive Pattern
-Chapter 11- The Rigid/Excel Pattern

If you would like to keep learning about these patterns, and how to work with them in relationships, you might also want to get the companion book, How to Have Better Relationships by Steven Kessler.

Here’s the page with the Character Structures (Five Personality Patterns) Self Test, if you are looking for it.

Remember, these patterns are not YOU. They are survival strategies:

Flee, Collapse, Tend & Befriend, Fight, Control.

Knowing our patterns— our coping mechanisms— helps us to identify them, to shift out of reaction mode, and return to Core Being with more ease— while keeping the skills and gifts we developed from using the patterns.

Thank you to all who participated! 💖

We are completing The 5 Personality Patterns by Steven Kessler.

The reading for this month was Chapters 12, 13 and the Conclusion.

Note: The names for the patterns used in this PDF are different than the book. But the patterns are the same—

Spiritual = Leaving; Compassionate = Merging; Leader = Aggressive; Heart-Centered = Enduring; Excel = Rigid

Also you can skip the last question if you have no idea about the chakras. You can still total everything up and see which patterns you rank highest on.

• What have you learned about yourself and others?

• How does your automated stress personality arise?

• How do you avoid getting hijacked by this habitual response, and instead return to Core Self from where you can freely choose?

Watch previous sessions related to this book here:
-Intro and Chapters 1 & 2
-Chapters 3, 4, 5 and the full chart in Chapter 6
-Chapter 7- The Leaving Pattern
-Chapter 8- The Merging Pattern
-Chapter 9- The Enduring Pattern
-Chapter 10- The Leader/Aggressive Pattern
-Chapter 11- The Rigid/Excel Pattern

If you would like to learn more about each pattern, and how to work with them in relationships, you might also want to get the companion book, How to Have Better Relationships by Steven Kessler.

Remember, these patterns are not YOU. They are survival strategies:

Flee, Collapse, Tend & Befriend, Fight, Control.

The IDEAL is NO habitual patterns (which are automatic and unconscious reactions), which equals a free and autonomous being.

Recognizing The Self + A Spontaneous Review Session

CORE BEING — Tue, 25 Aug 2026 21:46:15 GMT

‘The secret of happiness is freedom and the secret of freedom is courage.’ — Thucydides

Subscribe now

We began with a ~20 minute group meditation on remembering and recognizing the True Self.

For a simple practice: ask yourself in every experience; ‘Is this Me?’, or ‘What knows this?’.

The rest of the session was shares and Q&A, which naturally led to a spontaneous review of much of what we have discussed so far this year.

See you again in two weeks!

Boundaries Are Just Truth

CORE BEING — Tue, 11 Aug 2026 22:00:29 GMT

‘People listen to you when you have listened to yourself.’ — Guru Jagat

‘Get right with yourself, quickly, daily.’ — Guru Jagat

Subscribe now

Some highlights from today:

• ‘Good fences make good neighbors’.

• Be able to give a no, and be able to take a no.

• Love and respect the boundaries of others: freedom begets freedom.

• Are you really giving from love, or is it actually fear?

• Settings limits is telling the truth. (Align to Core to discover truth.)

• Boundary problems are problems of responsibility. (Who is responsible and for what?)

• The basic problem in human relationship is the theme of freedom.

• Boundaries without consequences are not boundaries— be willing to enforce before setting them.

• Accept them as they are; respect their choice to be that way; then give appropriate consequences— you only have control over what you do (that is your power!). You are giving up control over them, and beginning to love them, by allowing them to take responsibility for their own behavior.

• Guilt is normal when doing something you believe to be mean. Know the difference between someone being ‘hurt’ and actually harmed.

• An internal no nullifies an external yes.

• If we can’t say no, we can’t say yes.
