    Life as an Art Form

in 2002, I was initiated by my men’s community – The ManKind Project – into sacred elderhood. Since then I’ve come to a deep appreciation for the elder wisdom available to us who have lived many years in a conscious manner – learning from each experience and coming to awareness of patterns.

It’s a responsibility of a conscious elder to share his life wisdom with others. This blog represents my responses to a variety of questions that have been asked of me personally, and in online forums. I hope you find something here that feeds you. Your comments are welcome, as is contact for whatever reason. You’ll find a contact form at the Upgrade Your Lifestyle website.

They say that the act of reading gives people more empathy and makes them more critical and reflective”. Do you think this is true?

I think by “critical” you’re referring to critical thinking, rather than judgmental kinda critical. So that’s the premise for my response. I think it probably depends on

How can I have a better relation with myself so that I can feel less alone and less bored when I’m not seeking distractions or social interactions?

Is gratitude connected along with maturity?

July 29, 2018/0 Comments/in Consciousness, Creating with Mind, Emotions, Gratitude, Happiness, Me, Self-Awareness, Self-realization, Self-worth /by Bob Wuest

I’d say moreso with emotional maturity than with advancing age. Though that may be true also. Cultivating emotional maturity has a tendency to peel back layers of deeply hidden false beliefs like peeling an onion. I happen to believe that beneath those layers is, within each of us, a magnificent god-being that progressively reveals itself […]

Do you think having a purpose is a real thing, or should a person just do whatever his heart desires?

Personally, I think discovering a mission of service, or purpose that serves the greater good, is a useful guide to living a meaningful life. It serves as a benchmark for the contributions one is making to humanity. For instance,

What have you watched or heard recently that made you feel extremely grateful and lucky to have what you have today?

July 28, 2018/0 Comments/in Consciousness, Creating with Mind, Emotions, Energy, Gratitude, Happiness, Me, Self-Awareness, Self-love, Self-realization, Spiritual-Awakening, Spirituality, The Journey, Whole living /by Bob Wuest

I suppose my sense of gratitude is influenced by outer events that are perceived by the senses. But for me, the deeper sense of gratitude follows from taking time for reflecting on what’s within. When I connect with my inner self, I’m better able to appreciate what presents in the outer world. For what is today. I […]
