“Throughout many years of working with people, reviewing research, experimenting with non-ordinary states, reading psychic and channeled material, studying Buddhism and Hinduism, and my own deep suffering and self-inquiry – I’ve come to the following conclusion: we are here on Earth to learn, and then to return Home at the end of the long “school year” as more evolved souls. And if we imagine for one moment this to be true, we begin to see everything through a whole different lens.”

“When we learn to look to the outside for self-value, self-worth and self-love, it’s a losing game. That’s because it’s impossible to manage outside forces very well. We simply cannot manage or control others’ opinions of us and this unending need for acknowledgement – impossible to truly fulfill – often leads to frustration and burnout. The goal was clear – to transform Iris’ need for external affirmation to a reliance on self-love and self-acknowledgement. But how to change years of conditioning? Because”

“Earth is a boarding school. We agree to come here for a period of time, leaving our home in the spiritual realm. There is a curriculum which we co-create before we arrive, similar to choosing our classes before the semester starts, according to our goals for learning. We select a body to enable us to have the best experience with which to achieve our mission. Our ultimate goal: for our consciousness to evolve. When the learning is complete for this lifetime, we return home from school.”

“Sadly, many of the beliefs we carry are not even accurate – they are often the result of a comment made long ago by a parent, teacher or even a kid in the schoolyard that caught us at a vulnerable moment – but we still believe them to be true, deep down. These beliefs may have also formed from conclusions we made about ourselves when we were young, often a result of the limited perspective we had as a child in a complicated adult world. This unexamined childhood programming, then, becomes our adult habits of perception and behavior.”

“Ellen’s mom doesn’t have love to give Ellen. She might absolutely love Ellen but simply be unable to express it. Yes, that is sad and heartbreaking because mothers “should” love their children and be able to show it in a positive and affirming way, right? But that is not the reality in this case. And unless Ellen can see reality and accept it, her suffering (and possibly her health problems) will continue.

Waiting for her mom to “get it” keeps her stuck and a victim of her mom’s limitations.”
