  • Coming Together In The Light
    Joining with others in the Light creates an energy which fosters individual healing and planetary transformation. It can help release the mind from its singular hold on the perception of reality.
  • Addiction and Spirituality: The Way Home
    A new way of viewing the spiritual underpinnings of addictive process and the path of healing. All addiction is fundamentally a spiritual act - an effort to solve the dilemma of pain and loss arising from perceived separation from one's spiritual home.
  • A Spiritual View of Depression: The Light That Shines in the Darkness
    The capacity of darkness to create a 'cover' over light is what creates the sense of emptiness or lack that is so intrinsic to depression. Though light always remains present within each individual being, darkness obscures the inner connection with the heart and with the source of being so that this light cannot be felt.
  • A Sacred Life: Awakening to Spirit
    What accelerates the shift from an 'interest' in spirituality to a need to hold spiritual truth at the center of one’s life is the great awakening taking place now as a result of increased spiritual light upon the earth. This change will lead many to question the perspectives they hold about the very ordinary activities of life and the choices that are made concerning the mundane and the everyday.
  • The Wisdom Within Depression: A Spiritual View
    It would be well to look at all forms of depression, especially those of greater intensity, as a spiritual crisis in their underpinnings, for though they may show no movement toward healing on the mental or emotional levels for a time, on the level of spirit and soul there is much activity. Here, a question is being asked and a question is being answered continually, namely, ‘what is this life about, what is its value, and what am I doing in it’?
  • Soul Relationships and Physical Relationships
    The truth of soul relationships is more complex than most are aware of. Yet often, what outpictures on the level of the physical does not reflect the meaningfulness of the soul connection that has brought us into proximity with another. Awareness of these connections enrich life immeasurably, and add to the dimension of the physical, the dimension of the spiritual in ways that will one day become quite natural, which, for today, may seem the exception.
  • Beginning a Spiritual Practice: The Importance of Beginning
    When the longing grows to experience something more of a different way of living, to transform life, to experience God and one's higher self directly, then more than reading or learning on a mental level is needed. Then actual 'on-the-job' training is called for. This is what a spiritual practice does.
  • When Family Members Drift Apart - A Spiritual Perspective
    Relationships that are inherited often feel like they are not chosen. Some are peaceful and loving, but many are embattled or difficult in other ways. Sometimes the reasons for creating distance seem more compelling than the reasons for creating love, yet in all cases it is of benefit to the heart and soul to create a path of return to love
  • Attention Deficit Disorders and Related Problems in Children: A Spiritual View
    The phenomenon of limited or impaired attention span, of difficult or aggressive behavior, of problems with peers or of making friends, of body level agitation which leads to nervous gestures or an inability to sit still for more than a minute – all of these can be symptoms not of a medical or psychological condition, but a condition that has to do with the greater presence of light on the planet and in the spiritual atmosphere or environment in which we live.
  • A Spiritual View of Depression: Living With the Unknown
    Everywhere in life, things are moving, relationships are changing, disappointments are happening, letting go is required, and the sense of the unknown exists as an everpresent companion to each step that we take. Knowing that there is a part of the self that is untouched by the circumstances of one's life and that that part of the self is accessible, is a reason to strive to reach it, to search in every way possible for the path to find it.
  • What Happens While We Sleep: A Spiritual Perspective
    The human body has never truly been separated from the higher realms of light, despite one's waking experience. At night, this body rejoins its higher counterparts that are the non-physical energy bodies, and a more seamless union of different aspects of one's being takes place than can normally occur during daytime functioning.
  • Waiting For Someone Else To Change
    There is a lot of pain in wanting others to be different. There is the pain of feeling dependent upon someone who is not dependable. There is the pain of feeling helpless to create the change that we desire. And most of all, there is the pain of feeling locked-in to our own responses so that we cannot react differently. There is a choice to be made in relation to all of this, and its implications can be revolultionary.
  • An End To Shame: The Journey of the Soul
    Shame involves the loss of a sense of valuing ourselves. It replaces the deeper truth of who we are with a more superficial view. This view does not honor the sacred nature of life and the spiritual purpose being served by the experience of learning that life offers. Such a passage inevitably involves making mistakes and learning from them as we expand along the continuum of light and life.
  • Living as a Soul
    Throughout history, we have defined ourselves in terms of our bodily experiences and the characteristic ways in which we respond to life – our most typical thoughts, feelings, and desires. Now, however, due to the presence of greater spiritual light on the earth, we have the opportunity to begin to think of ourselves less as bodies or even as feelings and thoughts, and more as souls. We begin to be able to live as souls.
  • Spiritual Awakening: The Opening of the Way
    Behind the subtle movements of energy that can alter and transform us inside is God's light and love. This love does not come to us, today, because we sit in a church, temple, or mosque in order to pray, although these conditions can magnify the experience. It comes to us on the street, in our homes, and in ordinary conversations with others, because it is a time of light and love ascending upon the earth, and change is in the air.
  • The Beliefs We Teach Our Children: The Next Step
    We are not ordinary beings, nor are our children. They are the seeds of a sacred future for the earth as a whole, and are expressions of a unique and sacred purpose that is theirs alone to fulfill. Now is the time to give to our children a belief in the infinite potential of their Spirit, knowing that children become what they believe.
  • The Wisdom Within Depression: A Spiritual View
    It would be well to look at all forms of depression, especially those of greater intensity, as a spiritual crisis in their underpinnings, for though they may show no movement toward healing on the mental or emotional levels for a time, on the level of spirit and soul there is much activity. Here, a question is being asked and a question is being answered continually, namely, ‘what is this life about, what is its value, and what am I doing in it’?
  • The Valuing of Simplicity
    There is an order to all things, and we are most in harmony with ourselves and with life when we participate in that Divine order. This is an order that the plants know and that the birds know. It is an order that defines the rhythm of life.
  • Through Death Into Light: A Story of Love
    At the edge of the Garden of Eden, at a place not far from where the wilderness meets the cultivated landscape of trees and flowers, stands a little house, and in it sits a small man with a long beard who reads from a very old book. This ancient one is not a sage, nor is he God himself. He is Lord of the Underworld and of the Overworld and is in charge of the transition into light of the recently departed ones who await his blessing.
  • The Body's Consciousness: Encoding From The Soul
    The body is a hologram of our greater consciousness via the DNA which forms it. To be a hologram means that what exists at a lower level of functioning incorporates within itself all the features of the higher level of who we are. To view the body as a hologram allows us to see in symptoms of any kind, a message reflected in the very patterning of the symptom itself.
  • The Christic Seed
    The Christic seed within each heart is waiting to be born. It is waiting to be given permission to come into the light of day and to operate as the precious and beautiful flower of Divine love that each human has the right and the power to express.
  • Children of the Light
    Many children are coming to earth at this time who have a great contribution to make to the planet and to all of her inhabitants. Despite the greater light that such children carry and often because of it, many who have come in peace experience anything but that during the years of their childhood.
  • There Is No Such Thing As Failure
    Failure is not the opposite of success. Rather, the opposite of success is indifference. For indifference places us on a road of unconsciousness where the striving to reach toward a new and for the moment unattainable goal does not matter. If the goal is just beyond reach and we are trying with all our might to reach toward it, then success lies in the process, in the reaching itself.
  • A Spiritual View of Depression: The Hunger for Light
    The hunger of the soul for light, especially when the language of spirituality has not been acquired fully, can be both painful and confusing. A person can feel lost, misunderstood, out of place, with a sense of not belonging anywhere. In fact, without the spiritual underpinnings anchored in awareness, it can feel like one doesn’t even belong to oneself. This nameless thing that it is possible to long for involves hunger at the deepest level. It is a hunger for spiritual light.
  • Planetary Ascension
    The need for active participation at this time in the process of planetary ascension is very great, which is why those who guide humanity are seeking in every way to uphold those beings who are being adversely affected by the forces of darkness, even while the light within them continues to expand. This task of remaining firmly wedded to the principles of light and truth and to the presence of God's love is of highest importance in terms of holding the earth in the balance of light
  • Becoming Light: The Sacred Practice of Alignment
    ‘Alignment’ is a practice which allows us to participate in the greater life of the spiritual universe by reaching toward the higher dimensions of light and by bringing light through from these dimensions into the physical reality in which we live. As we do this, we become more able to commune with God’s love, light, and truth, and more able to experience ourselves in the larger context of the soul that we are.
  • A Spiritual View of Depression
    There remains a vast gap between the current way of treating depression as an entity - clinically, chemically, and in terms of the body - and the way of treating depression as an energy related to consciousness. Although an understanding of brain chemistry and of neuro-transmitters are among the more popular views today concerning the origin of depression, the energy of our spiritual self influences the way in which brain chemistry and neuro-transmitters work or do not work
  • Healing into Light - The Purification of Individuals and of the Earth
    Today, many people on the planet are in need of healing and are suffering through difficult times - some physically, some emotionally, some due to what appear to be external circumstances. In reality, the earth itself is undergoing a global purification which is causing many to experience an upsurge of both emotional and physical difficulties. Through understanding the process and through working with it in a conscious way, greater healing of pain and suffering can take place.
