A Tragedy and a Message for Our Times

We remain such a barbaric society in great denial, filled with excuses, blame, resentment and entitlement that takes us as far away from our own great spirits as it endlessly perpetuates great abuse. No wonder we cannot make peace within and without! The political challenges of our times are the spiritual challenges of our times; and we cannot afford to continue to deny, excuse, justify and blame who we decide to objectify, neglect and violate. As it was said, “what we do to the least of them . . . ” we do to ourselves – and we all continue to lose…We can only recover through self-healing, which then leads to enlightened knowing about how to really care and be compassionate without condition. That in turn supports the greater good – said to be our spiritual mission – that we continue to seek to actualize throughout our lifetimes.

Let me know in the comments below this entry how you access hope, what it does for you, and what you most hope for this year for . . . (see how you’re moved to compete this sentence from what feels like a core place of courage, honesty and the authentic part of you that dares to dream!) …

Faulty belief systems and discovering ‘what’s real?’

Infinite love and higher consciousness are difficult to feel, let alone embrace. we are all part of the infinitely loving, endlessly aware higher consciousness – and are each, too, an equally and uniquely creating, particularly developing individual being that truly changes worlds and selves – free and seeking loving, new and extensively fulfilling opportunities to unconditionally share.

Do You Know What’s True – And What Isn’t?

A lot of what I do in my practice is to separate truth from fiction. It’s actually, I’ve discovered, fundamentally easy – what’s hard, as Glinda said to Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz – is getting people to believe it.
