		<description><![CDATA[I used to think that appearances didn't count, but it's not true. Appearances do count, but not in the way you think. Appearances don't reflect what's inside us, that's true, but they do reflect other things. They reflect how we want to see ourselves, and they reflect how we want others to see us. A lot of energy goes into the creation of these "facades" but it is energy that is, if you to awaken and empower in spiritual terms, wasted, wasted, wasted. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What's our motivation to change? Who are we playing to? In the past, in the old energies, it was pretty much anything goes but now, not so much. Now we have to pay attention to our higher consciousness. Now we have to do what we know we have to do. Now we have to awaken. Now we have to empower. Now we have to transform. Now we have to uplift. So put aside hatred, greed, anger, and fear and join the procession as we all return home. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently made <A href="http://blog.michaelsharp.org/2012/04/01/step-by-painful-step/">some comments</a> on the book draft I'm currently working on. A reader, having read the comments, writes back on just how deeply transformative is <A href="http://www.thelightningpath.com/">The Lightning Path</a>. The LP is definitely not the overly processed, junk food spiritual crap you normally get when you get hungry for the Truth. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many, perhaps most, gurus and mystical experts will tell you that in order to advance you have to subdue, even kill, your ego. Presumably this is because your ego interfers with enlightenment and your higher self. Honestly, that's a bunch of bull cocky. Saying that you have to destroy your ego sets up an internal dynamic of confict where you yourself become the enemy of your own enlightenment. It's just not true. So, rather than seeing your bodily ego as antagonistic to spiritual advance, this poem identifies your ego as a reflection of your higher self. The goal here isn't to eliminate that reflection, but to polish the mirror and purify the vessel in order to allow the light of your higher self to shine clearly through. In essence, I AM/WE ARE is a love poem sent from your higher self to your bodily ego. We are one!]]></description>
