  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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
  • 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.
  • 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 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
