Dear Reader, There’s something strangely exhausting about constantly trying to get somewhere else emotionally. Trying to solve the discomfort.Trying to understand the experience.Trying to move through it faster.Trying to reach the version of ourselves that finally feels at peace. And underneath all that trying, there can be a subtle refusal to fully be in the experience we are already living. A subtle form of non-acceptance quietly slips into the moment. It creates a quiet type of resistance...

Hi Reader, It’s interesting how quickly time seems to move… and yet how differently it can be experienced. Lately, I’ve found myself relating to it in a new way. I thought that by shifting a few plans this year, I would create more spaciousness. Instead, life reorganized itself—as it always does. And rather than trying to create more space, I found myself exploring something else entirely: What happens when I stop trying to manage time… and start meeting it differently? A simple example—...

Dear Reader, When the noise of the world becomes impossible to avoid and global conflicts feel disheartening and heart wrenching, it can seem difficult—if not impossible—to perceive the deeper current of elevated consciousness that is steadily rising within humanity. And yet… that current is very much alive.Sometimes quiet. Often invisible. But it beats, it pulses, and it is already shaping the world that is to come. In this context, I recently received a channeled message from Earth Mission...

Dear Reader, How do you feel? If you have followed the Olympics or watched interviews with people who have accomplished something great or heroic, you might have noticed that one of the first questions they get asked is: How does it feel?

A potent mixture of positive emotions such as pride, joy, victory, freedom, and accomplishment, reflected back to us, is intoxicating...

Dear Reader, Have you ever played this game where you try to spot odd things, like yellow cars on a long drive? Unless you live in New York City, where it snows yellow cabs, you probably don't see many yellow cars on the road. This is especially true in New Zealand's countryside. That didn't stop my kids and I from spotting nine different ones on our journey to Hamilton over the weekend! By an uncanny coincidence, we happen to leave home at just the right moment to see not just one, but two...

Dear Reader, Have you caught yourself using the words "I should" or "I have to" since reading the last Commander's Report? Is it dawning on you, even just a little, how much of your day seems preordained by outside forces, and how much room there is for you to take more command of your life? Coming to this awareness is a potent accelerator. Regardless of what you might think, realizing that you don't always feel like the captain of your own ship is a wonderful thing. The reason is very...

Dear Reader, As promised, let's dive into the subject of influence. Setting aside the paraphenalia of things we can ingest or use, let's broaden our perspective by considering the word 'influence' in a more general sense. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, influence is defined as the power or capacity to cause an effect in indirect or intangible ways. So to answer the question of what influence you are under, you need to look at what is influencing your decisions, behaviours, and...
