if you would belong to tomorrow, where the great secret beckons, stop trying to pick the locks of your misfortunes. let go your petty bucket of shames, and the thimble of hope you have been trying to empty it with. find the stairs. the dawn is waiting, but not for […]
a beautiful reminder of the power of forgiveness and releasing the negative emotions that hold us back. It encourages us to connect with the good that was once there and move forward with a sense of freedom and wholeness.
A poem about being most intimate with Life, and about the nature of uncertainty and the necessary undoing we all are gifted in our journeys of becoming.
Rocco's recent interview on the The Nicholas Gregoriades Show, discussing the viral decline of social media, actualisation, attention and the project of wellness, and of course The Mojo Dojo!
Vincent Van Gogh wrote: “However meaningless and vain, however dead life appears, the man of faith, of energy, of warmth … steps in and does something.”
for every adult that can find the courage to practice self-forgiveness there will be a child that may reach adulthood without the overwhelming burden of generational trauma. Why is Self-Forgiveness so hard? Because it requires self-permission. We need to feel worthy to give ourself the permission to forgive ourselves, otherwise […]
If you are interested in getting involved and trying for yourself the liberating Medicine of Understanding, we are now offering 1 Month Trial Memberships.
You want to feel better. You want to feel better about yourself. You want to be proud of yourself and really love the person that looks back at you in the mirror. You want to feel safe, and you want to live from a place of freedom and abundance. You […]
It is precisely in our defeats not our triumphs, that we discover the deepest nature of our hearts and the true face of our most private hopes. It is what the trials of the climb threaten to take from you that frame with pristine clarity the connection we have to any meaning we might come to in life.
the only right way to worship is your own way. even so, it is up to you to make it count. We have many powerful traditions at our disposal, and people throughout our lives that prescribed to us, often in ways we had no freedom to ignore, how we should […]
The theme for this month is Accepting our Natures. This month we explore how our biology, our genetics, and our neural chemistry affect our psychology.
Each of us can begin by facing the small discomforts we have been avoiding, and learn to sit with those, learn to show leadership to our selves, and learn stillness, to not be so easily triggered and moved about by the flutterings of emotion and the drama that is authored by the apparatus of our minds when our conscious awareness and sense of adult leadership is not in the room.
If we inspect our hearts closely, we discover our wounds were caused, so seldomly, by people who intended harm, and so often instead, by people who who simply did not have the presence of mind to be self-aware and exercise self-ownership. Our closest relationships wound us, because so often, they, […]
words of inspiration. Your dance and your song have their own sacred truth. Your light and your voice and your shadow that you cast; the footprint you leave on this earth and in the hearts of other people, is rare and unmatched and inimitable.
we cannot choose our starting positions, or the tools we have today, but we can choose tomorrow's. To reach, means both to strive towards something beyond ourselves, and our arrival there. Our job is not to explain the handicap we have or the mess we have inherited from our childhoods […]
Rocco's recent appearance on the Enter The Lionheart Podcast, discussing Actualisation, Pschological Self-Repair and The Mojo Dojo.
the first steps of growth for a seed or a human heart, are separation, falling, and breaking open. Even the falling of the seed, seems at first random, but of course, it had its causes, far beyond what the little seed can gauge or comprehend, and once the seed falls […]
there are two ways to be made whole: connection is the horizontal integration, and Integrity & Authenticity is the vertical integration. the sad fact of a human life is this: you can have one without the other, you can have either vertical integration without the latter or vice versa,and when […]
the divine that i seek, is not in the temple, if it is not also outside the temple... Our journeys through childhood, our lack of initiation into adulthood, our being lead and taught by people who themselves had never been properly inducted into life, programmed by a culture that had […]
We are who we repeatedly choose to be. Everything is hard at first. A lot of the project of Growth and Healing comes down to a kind of growing up, accepting that: There are no quick fixes, there is not some Deus Ex Machina, there is no magic bullet that […]
every wave we ride becomes a wave we make. Quantum means measured in ‘packets’. Setting and pursuing Intention, exerting will, the living of a Life, is done in packets. We experience these as cycles, seasons, tides, waves, even Incarnations. At the ending of each meaningful cycle or packet, our ticket […]
There is nothing in life that is not improved by increased perspective and stillness. To be curious and present in the face of tragedy, pain, regret or fear, requires great vulnerability and great courage, but you cannot grow and heal without those key aspects and the chosen stance to embody them: Curiosity, Presence, Vulnerability and Courage.
our language is too small for the territory we already entered. Ludwig Wittgenstein said “the limits of my language define the limits of my world.” The thing we are searching for is Meaning, without Understanding we cannot arrive at Meaning, and the key to better Understanding, is better language. We […]
At least half of waking up is learning and practicing the art of grieving and letting go. Awakening is a threshing. This is a truth that can not be any other way. We are the wheat and just so, the chaff of what must be removed by rough handling is […]
the hardship of the journey is exactly matched to the value of the prize and the greatness of the soul who dares the way. We look away from our wounds. We hope healing will come from outside of ourselves. Our psychological wounds are the places we first became separated from […]
The wolf in you will see you through long nights,the squirrel through long winters. Our life happens in seasons. It is a story we are writing, every day as it happens, and we get to make it a good story, we get to make it a great story. And great […]
Rest is not in the way. Regression is not Failure. Rest is necessary part of movement. Regression is a necessary part of progress.
