We all know what it’s like to be denied intimacy.
To have something stirring inside you… And feel that insistent tugging on your soul… To need to connect and share those deeper parts of yourself…
Only to be faced with rejection and disinterest in return. It’s a terrible, and terribly familiar feeling…
And yet, we rarely recognize it when we create that same feeling within the people that we love.
The post Sell your Soul? Or lose your Love? appeared first on Zach Herbert.
Okay, so I’m not gonna lie…This post is a bit of an ass-kicking.
Because that question in the title? Sell your soul, or lose your love?
It’s a choice you have to make FAR more often than you realize.
And worse… It’s a demand we continually MAKE upon the people we love.
Without even knowing that we’re doing it…

Given an opportunity for true authenticity…
Where you’re allowed to be, as complex and wild and thoughtful…
And sexy and dark and brilliant and silly…
Just whoever you choose to be…
And given this deeper, vaster—probably infinite universe.
Where we don’t even know what’s possible… Or where we’re going… Or what we even are…
What does spirituality look like now?

Okay, it’s been a little while… I should probably break your brain again.
Well, maybe “break” is too strong a word for this one… Bruise? A minor thought-stopping at worst…
Anyway, it’s about physics and spirituality and symmetry, and how we look at the world.
And it might sting a little, because I have to call bullshit on a couple popular spiritual ideas… But don’t worry. It’ll all work out in the end!
The Essential Idea is this…
There ARE no forces of nature!

Up next in the Everyday Awareness series: a quick and easy way to get out of your head—and back into your body.
You can do it when you’re stressed or anxious or ruminating or freaking out… and it will make you feel better.
And when I say quick… I mean SUPER quick!
This one works. And it won’t even take you a full minute!

A few articles back, I wrote about The Death of the Now. About Einstein’s discoveries on the nature of time and space… And their devastating impact on traditional spirituality.
And I got a lot of feedback from people hoping to show me HOW EASY IT IS to center my awareness in the here and now…
To BE present.
Apparently, while I was poking holes in the old-fashioned INTERPRETATIONS of abiding spiritual experience, I didn’t do enough to validate the EXPERIENCE ITSELF.
So let’s pick up the present moment again… This time, from an experiential perspective. And explore some of the profound insights and liberating changes that come from being present.
(And then I’ll stab a few more holes in it at the end. Just for fun!)

So there’s this thing that happens, as you get wiser and deeper and more and more awesome…
You become more capable of CONNECTING.
You explore. You grow. You change. And all of those things create layers of complexity and depth… Layers that you can share with other people.
But… And here’s the shitty part… All that awesomeness also makes you DIFFERENT. And so it gets harder and harder to find people to connect WITH.
Because we all get deeper in our own unique way.
And that creates a frustrating dilemma…
As YOU get deeper—your circle of friends gets smaller…

So I ran into a fascinating idea recently… About finding your true voice… And learning to express yourself in an authentic way.
Now, I’ve written before on authenticity… About finding and expressing who you really are.
But this is something different…
Because this time, when I say “finding your true voice,” I don’t mean it metaphorically…
I mean your actual voice!
