Dear Diary, I feel like reflecting on this today…Once, as a very young man, I went through a deeply painful experience. It was a bad break-up, but that was just the trigger that caused a hidden trauma to resurface—or at least, this has been my understanding over the years.The strangest part was that at the… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, Something unusual happened last night. My friends and I were walking through town when, from a distance, we saw two men engaged in what appeared to be a street fight. As we got closer, it became clear that this was exactly what was happening. Instinctively, I hurried my pace, and I could see… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, Last night, I dreamed about a girl I liked in real life a few months ago. Back then, I was close to making a move with her, but something went off, and there was no connection anymore. That left me feeling a little disappointed, to say the least. In the dream, she told… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, I often feel, during meditation, that I get the nudge—or maybe the insight—to set up an appointment with that “life coach” who works with A Course in Miracles. I’ve already exchanged a few quick messages with her, so I know she’d be open to working with me on the topic of relationships. So,… [keep reading]

As I tried to release them, it seemed to me that they were connected to yesterday’s neurosis: perhaps a mix of desperation, insecurity, and a sense… [keep reading]
Dear Universe, Thank you once again for another incredible insight I just had. It seems I may have a trace of entitlement in me, and if I had to choose the most likely reason among the various possibilities, it could be that my sense of entitlement is actually a defense mechanism against insecurity. I’ll be… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, I’ve been struggling with negative emotions these days, especially anger, restlessness, and general upset. The contrast with the spiritual work I’m undertaking is stark.This concerns me and somewhat disheartens me. I don’t mean to complain; I’m simply documenting my feelings and experiences.

Dear Universe, In today’s entry for my manifestation journal, I wish to capture a profound quote from a renowned author: “What we are looking for, we find within ourselves, then we take it out into the world and we attract automatically the factors that resonate with that.”It strikes a chord deep within me, prompting me… [keep reading]
Dear Diary, The other day, I had what might be an insightful experience. Let me see if I can capture it: 1) It all began with songs, specifically theme songs from movies of my childhood.2) I recalled a tender child (my younger self), filled with innocent dreams of becoming a hero one day. Whether those… [keep reading]
