The Courage...

The Courage...

...to plant.

Society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.”
― Anonymous Greek Proverb

This past week, I recorded a podcast on the fluidity of faith. I shared a bit about my upbringing and the diversity of beliefs that I grew up around. As I continue to embark on this journey of seeking “truth,” understanding what I am here to do, and who I am here to become, I’ve come to the current conclusion that there is no “ultimate” answer, or that one “thing,” but rather, a multitude of infinite possibilities within constant change.

No spiritual path has a monopoly on truth. When we create this mold of what we think people should believe, become, or do, we stifle our soul's expansion and create a dissenting society that leads to destructive behaviors. What I believe is being asked of us at this moment of our lives as a collective, is, “What is our current role in all of this?” When we look at the current state of the world, do you ask yourself, “What can I do?” Or “Who can I embody so that I can contribute to changes that I might not see, but will create a difference in the world to come?”

Gandhi said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.” Thus, Who are you, and why are you here? Now, this question, if you are willing to truly gaze, not look, but gaze in its totality of the inquiry, the world as you know within it might shatter.

The good news: You get to see what's underneath it all and create a world in which we can all vibrate with acceptance, peace, and love, even though we might not still be here to see it.

Are you willing to plant that seed?

Love, Raphaella.

Prayer DOES NOT change things. ...it removes obstacles, guides, sustains, and connects. Everything that belongs to you is already yours. Just as in the garden, the resources were available before Adam and Eve’s arrival—EVERYTHING! So, what is the need for prayer if we know that all of our desires, when aligned with our purpose, are certain to come to pass? Check out my latest podcast episode, "Prayer DOES NOT Change Things," where I discuss how prayer can help bring clarity and certainty to...

Have you Heard of Complicated Grief? I hadn’t! Until I realized I was experiencing it. Complicated grief is a prolonged lasting reaction to loss. Situations where people cannot get over the fact that someone is gone or they keep relieving the occurrence of the loss. Those who are experiencing complicated grief often feel stuck in a particular emotion and they can see to move past it. Most times the loss was either traumatic, sudden death suicide, or lack of closure from a relationship....
