Whatever word or phrase you use to describe God – Source, Spirit, Force, Divine Mind, I AM, Infinite Intelligence, or Yahweh, most of us will agree that naming the nameless, the formless, the infinite does not fully represent what we are trying to convey. I choose to stay traditional and use the word “God” because I feel it is what the vast majority of us relate to from our religious training. Continue reading

I battle the fog, the mist, the sprays of my own creation once conjured... Continue reading

The Meditation Guidance offered below titled Conscious Connection... Continue reading

POWER OF BELIEF Believe and it will be true – it will be created – manifested into full form – full life. Simply believe. Belief is a full alignment and focus of your vibrational energy – your creative soul energy - and it takes a tremendous act of clarity and focus. Belief requires that competing forces in your mind and soul, do not question but fully support the effort – totally – completely. Otherwise “doubt” splits the the focus like a wedge and impedes the movement to total belief. What is “doubt” but the competing ego forces of fear and insecurity? The ego shouts – “how could this be true – how could you move the mountain, are you crazy? - do you need help?” It is your job, and in your self-interest to reindoctrinate the ego - sooth and retrain the voice in your head to seek the safety of total belief – total clarity in the pursuit of the prize of enlightenment. Utilize the ego, teaming with the ego in the pursuit of full and total belief. Belief in yourself and your capacity for cocreation - your capacity to harness the power and create your heaven on earth. Believe and it will be so! Continue reading

YOUR PLACE Do not let go of your place in this world, realizing your foothold is a sacred positioning, firmly fixed, uniquely connected, attached to the present, the past, the future efforts to create a better existence. You are firmly, securely, fixed in the very potential and purpose of our positive becoming, your voice, your spirit, your words will fill the void with promise, hope, and the vision of a new becoming. Allow you to be, stimulate the forward motion, accelerate the becoming by showing the way, be oblivious to criticism, skepticism, even outright contempt, moving on, deaf to the chirp of the darkness – knowing you have light to share – love to give – a new world to create.
