An excerpt from the personal growth recording, Inner Peace by Lazaris:

Note: In Part I, Lazaris discussed the beauty and necessity of achieving inner peace, and the ‘blockbuster’ emotions — anger, hurt, self-pity and fear — which prevent our achieving it. In this part, he turns to the ‘bugaboo’ emotions, the ones we overlook or don’t understand, and explores how to work with them and what to put in their place to create the inner peace we want.

The Bugaboo Emotions

We want to move on now and look at those ‘bugaboo’…

An excerpt from the personal growth recording, Inner Peace by Lazaris:

Today we want to work with some of the ‘bugaboo’ emotions that you have, bugaboo emotions that stand in the way of your having inner peace. We want to work with anxiety, with worry, and with confusion and doubt.

Admittedly, these are not the only things that are standing in the way of inner peace. The blockbuster emotions you are familiar with already — unexpressed anger and hurt, self-pity and fear. We will be talking about those feelings as well, but much more…

It Seems to Me …

‘The key to getting there, to shifting the paradigm so the world destined to be new, can be new: Chaos, Paradox, Complexity, and Enchantment.’ -Lazaris

Here’s what I have been thinking about in the midst of the current almost overwhelming points of chaos, crises, atrocities of violence, and human tragedies: Polarization, now too common in the politics in the United States, seems to have spread to become a global issue.

Polarization: Republican-Democrat; Sunni-Shiite; Palestinian-Israeli; Syrian-Rebel; Iranian-Insurgent; Russian-Ukrainian … are there more? Probably. I have been looking at this for awhile…

Thoughts and Musings, from Jach’s Corner on the Forum

One of Lazaris’ suggestions for April [2014] is to work with understanding, and toward this end, I have been pondering the ideas of greater understanding. I have been working with the components to have understanding and to reach into the realm of being an understanding person. I mean, I feel that I am an understanding person in many ways, but I also feel that it is an ongoing process. Are we ever finished with expanding our capacity or our depth of understanding? I don’t think…

(Editor’s note: Lazaris refers to the decade from 1990 through 1999 as the most monumental decade in the history of humankind on Earth.)

So often we have said that this decade — the one that you are midway through even as we speak — is the most important, the most monumental, decade in the history of humankind upon your earth. Even as monumentally important as other decades have been, this one is absolutely the most important, because it is in this decade that you, individually and then collectively, will decide the future of your…

Q: Can you provide your thoughts on the Tucson event this past weekend? It has multiple meanings and…

By Lazaris

One has heard so often in the world out there about fears of failure. It was presented perhaps a decade ago as this revelatory understanding that there is fear of success.

And it became something of a catch phrase, something of a buzzword. ‘Your problem is you have fear of success.’ And it’s true for many people. Ironically, for many people the fear of success is much bigger than the fear of failure. You have learned through conditioning, from the time you were a very small infant, to cope with and deal with failure.…

A Question with Jach’s Reply from an Online Conference

During the Online Conference (March 21, 2012) the following question was asked:

‘With the ongoing political threats to women’s autonomy from the right, and the death of the young black boy in Florida, Trayvon Martin, it seems like we are revisiting issues we thought/hoped were more resolved. Any ideas on how to be an understanding person with these painful, angering issues?’

Several people requested that this question and my reply be made available. There will be a transcript of the entire Online Conference in the…

An excerpt from the Personal Growth Recording Coming Home by Lazaris.

All right. All right. Once again it is a pleasure and a joy to have this chance to work with you. The words … pleasure, joy … seem too small to hold and too short to reach the fullness of the pleasure and joy it always is to explore and to work with you.

This day we talk of Coming Home, two words that also seem too small and too short. The very words bring tingles and goose bumps to some and bring tears…

A Question with Jach’s Reply from an Online Conference

Q: Jach, how do you best vision what you want in an unknown future? I found it becomes increasingly harder to imagine what I/the world would want in 5/15/25 years. I need that juice to want, but if I don’t know what, it is weak.

JACH: Is it weak? No. I don’t think so. [s] Now to the question. I think the best way to work with visioning the future is to be aware that there are several different kinds of futures, just as there…
