Our Need To Feel Needed… And When It Must Change

Need to Feel Needed - Michael MamasThe Huffington Post just published one of my latest articles. It begins:

While recently giving a lecture in the San Francisco area, I was asked: “Would you please talk about the need to feel needed? It seems to be a very important, fundamental instinct.”

I responded by first saying it was one of the most beautiful questions I’ve been asked in a long time. I began by telling the story of two beautiful, white, draft horses owned by a friend. The horses were inseparable. Their worlds revolved around one another. They loved each other. When one of them passed away, the other, although perfectly healthy, also died within two weeks.

Super Bowl Party

The Super Bowl was so much fun! Like football or not, last night at Mount Soma the Super Bowl party (pic below) was great fun for everyone. We even had our own Mt. Soma representatives at the game! See pic from their seats below. Our Mt. Soma annual tradition of silly emails back and forth, starting with the playoffs every year, make the game even that much more enjoyable. Lots of laughs! Big smiles! Everyone enjoys!<

The Spiritual Revolution

We are in the midst of a spiritual revolution. Long ago, rationality became divorced from spirituality, and now spirituality doesn’t make sense. So people tend to dismiss spirituality all together, but what we really long for is a spirituality that makes sense. This rational understanding is attainable, and the path to get there is available to those who seek to pursue it. In this new video, I discuss the current spiritual revolution, and introduce the answer it demands.
