Do you find yourself often thinking in terms of getting cooperation from your unconscious mind? Or learning how to give it great instructions so it can support you easily? We have all had the experience of “deciding” to do something (like a New Year’s resolution, hmmm?) and then, a few weeks, or days, later - it has fizzled out. You had decided to do the Thing. But you didn’t. You consciously wanted the Thing. But unconsciously, you weren’t convinced. Ultimately, the Thing didn’t happen because you lacked cooperation from your unconscious. If, however, you know how to get your conscious and unconscious mind ALIGNED, then you will get the Thing done. And many things done.

Jonathan Haidt: The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom - Haidt coined the analogy of the Rider and the Elephant to explain how the conscious and unconscious mind cooperate (or not) with each other. He gives many examples and reviews various brain functions to point out some of the sources of conflict.

Christmas! Perplexingly, we were inspired to talk about those genealogies that are part of the Christmas story, like in Matthew where there’s a list of Jesus’ ancestry. t It turns out that reflecting on what it means to be part of a lineage means a lot. We are part of the nativity story because God has brought us into the lineage of Jesus and Abraham, and the entire story of God and His Creation. It is a profound thing. Listen and enter in. Merry Christmas!

Empowered Christian. Empowered Catholic. Empowered Person. Yes. Yes. Yes. Empowered is a state of being that addresses the whole person. Because God acts on the whole person. The Spirit leads us and prompts us, as Christians. Yet we have a huge role to play in seeing, hearing, feeling, and responding to these prompts. Grace builds on nature. If you are being prompted to improve your health, you will be called to action. That’s your part. Yet you might resist the action you “know” you need. We all have had THAT experience, right? Your human nature is showing up! How to work with it effectively? Our nature is a multilayered mystery. We invite you to consider the dimensions of this human nature in its many layers. We paint a picture of empowerment and invite you to consider what could happen if you stepped into it.
