Check Out the Interview Podcast with Darlene Van de Grift and Paul Campbell of SoulUnion.com

What is it about ourselves that prevents us from being truly happy?

Darlene Van de Grift  SoulUnion.comUnknowingly, through conditioning and acculturation, I’ve been defining ‘happiness’ as an external ‘arrival’ or event – something that is always in the future, ‘just out of reach’, or something that I’ll attain once I’ve created a particular set of external circumstances. Why do I do this? And continue to do this once I’ve become aware I’m doing it? And how do I stop?

The awareness of our self-imposed limitations is the first step. And it will take a compassionate, concerted and continuous effort to dismantle this individually unique construct, in order to reveal my true nature – my true self.

Darlene Van de Grift and Paul Campbell are two gifted human beings who can help teach us how to be truly happy through the art and practice of ‘allowing’ and through communion with our ‘guides’ and supportive energies in a sacred, healing space and context. When you ‘work’ with Darlene and Paul, you become aware of the greater purpose of your life – the greater reality. And by dialoguing with them and the guides (or information to which they have access), you are able to illuminate for yourself the answers to questions that wouldn’t be forthcoming otherwise.

Many people will get hung-up on the idea of spirit, spirit guides, the Akashic records, ascended masters, etc. What I am asking of the listener is to temporarily suspend any judgments or Paul Campbell  SoulUnion.compreconceived ideas that you may have regarding these ‘labels’ – as what we are simply talking about is the ability of certain individuals to access information that we ourselves cannot. And the great mystical traditions – and there are great mystical traditions in all the major religions –speak of shamans, priests/priestesses, rabbis, monks, gurus, lamas, medicine men/women, ascetics, warriors, prophets, oracles, seers, healers, intuitives, pandits, clairvoyants, astrologers, etc. who had the ability to ‘access’ much more information than the average person – particularly in a sacred context. Why would today be any different?

“These teachings have been brought to you from Padmasambhava’s enlightened heart, across centuries, over a thousand years, by an unbroken lineage of masters, each one of whom only became masters because they had learned humbly to be disciples, and remained, in the deepest sense, disciples of their masters all their lives. Even at the age of eighty-two, when Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche spoke of his master Janyang Khyentse, tears of gratitude and devotion came into his eyes. In his last letter to me before he died, he signed himself “the worst disciple.” That showed me how endless true devotion is, how with the greatest possible realization comes the greatest devotion and the most complete, because the most humble, gratitude.”
