mission is to be a place where it is easier for folks who
are conscious to meet each other.
My mission is also to be a place where
folks who are conscious can come to get support.
Support is here in many forms. I don't
think there can be too many but here there is support in
the form of articles, boards, words and coaching/therapy.
The goal is to help with something that
I keep saying is difficult. But as I say in the blog post,
there are always at least two ways to experience and experience.
My hope is that you get help here to
experience this being single in such a way as to make it
easier to be on this path.
And that you get what you need here to
experience it in such a way that facilitates you meeting
someone. The conscious idea here is that how you
experience being single is crucial to helping you become
nonsingle.

From a 2004 blog:
Our intention at Conscious Singles is to be a beacon of
hope and a place of solace for people and especially for
single folks of like mind. Really.
Being single today is, at least some of the time, is not
easy. From a metaphysical standpoint, this is not the best
viewpoint or vibration to hold.
And there are always two ways to view
or experience any experience. The goal of life seems to
be to recognize when i am holding a crummy perspective
about something and then to "pivot" as Abraham-Hicks
suggests to a better thought/perspective. (Similar to
finding the right psychic website)
Easier said than done, for many reasons including the
reality that we all have an unconscious that was formed
a long long time ago.
One of the ways I have found to help is to fully acknowledge,
express and clear the feelings of crumminess about something.
The other day i wept about my fear
and frustration about the website not working the way
i want it to. ( We are ok here but dang the new matchmaking
software is not as user friendly initially as i had thought
and hoped.) And this helped a bunch in terms of my feeling
less anxious (no small thing for this jewish boy) and
more able to have a sense of well being be my default.
And this, what i am calling conscious regressive work,
helped me to be able to more gracefully pivot when i pulled
up a negative feeling or perspective about the site.
So here is the intention of Conscious
Singles in these trying times generally and trying in
terms of being a Conscious Single.
First, i want to say GOOD FOR YOU FOR SHOWING UP HERE.
I want to acknowledge you along with many many others
who are coming to Conscious Singles. Dialing us up in
and of itself maybe a challenge for some and you are doing
it, even though it may not be as easy to work as you would
like it to be. You are coming and are to be commended
for it, i think.
What the wonderful Jenny Knoop has
reminded me about is that we are in a difficult period
in our time. There are real problems out there in terms
of the challenges to our planet ecologically, the Middle
East, the world, etc.
Some dangerous common responses to hurt is cynicism, numbing
and despair. What can be helpful and restorative is naming
our hurts and struggles in a witnessed and supportive
environment.
And my hope is that we can draw solace and hope in this
act of sharing and draw together as a community.
