I have been spending a lot of time working with people to show them that if they simply fill the needs that are in their hearts, that the feeling that they carry within themselves is the gift that they will share with others in their lives.
Why do you walk for just yourself and not others? When I speak to people in the New Age arena, I am always hearing that they want to help others. I ask them Why? They look at me as though I was crazy.

It is done in such a way that each of us knows just how we had our needs fulfillment brought to us… for us… by us.
As we begin to recognize that we have so many things in the way for the choice that we think is so hard to make, we can begin to realize that the undercurrents of our thoughts is another source that gets in our way.
My students and I have been working on the terms DESIRE and NEED. I often hear things like, “My desire is to have this in my Life. My needs are never being met.” So we have begun to spend time on studying these terms. You would think that this would be a simple concept to understand and then incorporate in one’s life.
