Path to Peace with Todd Perelmuter Newsletter
If you’re living and breathing, someone at some point in your life will inevitably say or do something mean, hurtful and cruel.
Every single one of us has been hurt in some way, and every one of us has probably accidentally said a hurtful word or two as well. It’s human nature. Unless we live in a completely toxic-free society, we’re going to be hurt, and we’re going to subconsciously and unintentionally pass that hurt on to others.
People’s actions are a reflection of what they’re carrying inside. But knowing that doesn’t always make the sting go away.
And if our own mind is already restless or weighed down, hurtful words cut even deeper. That’s why I write the Path to Peace weekly newsletter. We all carry storms inside. Sometimes we just need a little light to rediscover the stillness of who we truly are.

The war inside your mind — and the way out
Imagine a person standing with their arms stretched out to both sides. Someone is standing on each side of this person pulling their arms in opposite directions with all their might. This is how most of us live. We’re living in a constant battle between two opposing forces. It’s a
Don’t Run From Your Demons
I am watching Peaky Blinders these days. I’m not usually one for such violence, but the family likes it and so it’s good bonding time. One line stuck out to me in particular. Uncle Charlie says to his nephew Tommy in regard to avoiding going crazy or committing suicide, “You
3 incredible opportunities for deep meditation every day
Happy 4th of July to all who celebrate! Every year, I think about the inner freedom America’s Founding Fathers displayed when they envisioned a new form of government built on the ideals of liberty and equality. They first threw off the shackles of tyranny in their own minds so their
3 Steps to Solve Your Life’s Mess
Yesterday I was so in the zone writing my next book, The Guidebook to Being Human, that I totally lost track of time and forgot to write the newsletter. But now, back to our regularly scheduled programming. Hope everyone is enjoying mango season. They’re extra sweet this time of year
The illusion you’ve believed your whole life…
Every cell of your body plays a role, has an intelligence, and they work together to create the illusion of a single individual self. Your cells are conscious. They are aware of their surroundings and react accordingly. They are imbued with universal consciousness. They’re just not so advanced, like us,
Break free from the trap
You are trapped. Not in a physical cage, but in a mental one. Luckily, this is a cage of our own making, and we each possess the key to freedom. The cage is made of our conditioned likes and dislikes. We think they are not conditioned, that they are natural,
Change this, change your life
If you pull out your phone to avoid your emotions, you are not ready to pull out your phone. Everything you do on your phone will be neurotic, dependency-based, and ultimately destructive. Imagine you find out your car is in need of repair. It’s starting to make a weird noise.
When Someone Says Something You Disagree With
When someone says something you disagree with, can you instead of rejecting it or absorbing it, can you let it pass through you? Can you give it space to be? Can you see it, play with it, and let it go back into the void without blocking or denying or
The Vacation Trap
We are an outward-focused species. We believe that fortunate circumstances will make us happy. On vacation, we’re supposed to be happy and the rest of the year is supposed to be a struggle. But what kind of life will we lead when only the extraordinary brings us joy? Whatever we
Don’t fall for this trick
When we don’t know who we are, we can easily begin to see ourselves the way other people see us. But most often, those people don’t even know who they are. So we are seeing ourselves through the eyes of people who have no idea what a human being truly
There is some fishiness going on around here
Isn’t it funny that scientists are now thinking we live in a simulation, when it’s like, “Yeah, we are living in a simulation. Our mind simulates reality.” The observation by scientists is astute, but it doesn’t mean we’re inside a computer. It means that we live inside our head. Every
The Narrator of Your Life Is You
We all know that one man’s trash is another’s treasure. But did you know that one man’s wealth is another’s trash? Here’s what I mean by that. We all have blessings in this world. No matter who you are, where you are, or what you have, you are blessed to
