‘When our thoughts look real, we live in a world of suffering. When they look subjective, we live in a world of choice. When they look arbitrary, we live in a world of possibility. And when we see them as illusory, we wake up inside a world of dreams.’
— The Inside-Out Revolution, Michael Neill
A beautiful quote by a top teacher and practitioner of The Three Principles.
The 3Ps (as they are often referred to) are Mind, Consciousness and Thought. Although describing the Principles is hardly the point. The entire focus is to help others (and continually remind the self) that in this universe of mind and thought, all is ever-changing, and all we ever have to do is wait and before long our thoughts will change, our mood will change, and just like clouds passing through the sky the sun will come out again.
And when the sun comes out again, so to speak, we find ourselves in a clear mind and peaceful body. And in that clarity we have access to Infinite Intelligence (or inner wisdom, intuition, knowing– whatever words you like) and we find we have greater perspective, receive helpful insights, download great ideas, and all of life looks good again.
So simple; though not always easy!

Although we may call it ‘therapy’, I prefer to think of it as a treasure hunt. With a little curiosity and courage, a good dose of willingness to explore the inner terrain, and a caring guide, each of us can discover the pure gold within that is our True Self. True, it may be buried under layers of muck, but that’s where the exciting adventure begins, and the true riches can be found. Schedule a session online or in-person. Affordable, efficient, effective therapy.
