These stories come from a long tradition of spiritual storytelling. Stories have been used for thousands of years to elucidate spiritual truths. Teachers from all ages and religions have found that stories are uniquely suited to this task.

How do you teach a fish about the sky? The journey of spiritual evolution often involves taking a leap into the unknown. The knowledge we have now will not help us understand what is coming next. It’s at this point that we need stories. With their symbolism and playfulness, stories can explain the unexplainable.

These stories don’t espouse a specific religious viewpoint, but rather seek to guide the listener to open up to life. And what does that mean? To live each day with love and courage; to question everything we think we know so that we can come closer to the truth about ourselves.

And what is that truth?

That we are divine beings here on Earth having a human experience. That everything that happens to us is really happening for us, such that we can grow closer to the giant that we really are.

You are not here to struggle and suffer. You are here to unfold a precious jewel: the “hidden treasure” that so many of the old stories speak about. The revealing of this “real you” is the ultimate purpose of this site.

Let’s fill the journey home with delight!
