The Change Teacher ™

Would you be doing something different, or in addition to what you are doing if all of your perceived limitations just fell away? Would you take the first step to realizing a dream or a goal, if you knew it was possible?

Would you hike the Pacific Trail or climb a mountain? Would you write a book or become a teacher? Would you start an art class to fulfill a deep urge? Would you create the most incredible garden, or raise your favorite breed of dog? Would you move to your favorite place, or build a new home on your own? Would you open your heart to new friends and situations? Would you quit doing something that was sucking the life out of you? Read the rest of this entry »

It doesn’t matter what has gone wrong in your life, how old or young you are, what your health is, who your parents are, where you were born or if you don’t have a cent to your name right now. It makes no difference to The Universal One if you have gone bankrupt or have terrible credit.

It all changes this instant if you choose to change it. Read the rest of this entry »

Here we are in a day and age of upheaval and chaos in our lives and businesses. And it couldn’t be a better time to fix what’s wrong with your business. It’s time to get it right–and back on the right track.

If your business isn’t in alignment with  the growing awareness and values of society, you will be left in the dust as other businesses move to get in alignment with a new worlds’ values. Read the rest of this entry »

There once was a farmer that owned an older mule. One day this mule fell into an abandoned well on this farmer’s property. Anxious to save this old mule, the farmer called on his friends to help him with the rescue. After several attempts, they failed to pull the mule out. The mule was stuck at the bottom so tightly, the men couldn’t get adequate ropes around him to pull him up. After several hours, the farmer decided that he would have to just bury the old mule, even though he felt bad about it.

The farmer began to shovel dirt into the hole. The dirt landed on the mule’s back. This scared the mule and he shook it off. The dirt fell under his feet and he was able to step up a bit. With each shovel of dirt, the mule shook it off, stepping up each time. This went on for quiet some time until the mule had shaken off so much dirt that he had stepped himself right out of the hole, right out of what looked like his gloom and doom.

 This is what we must do. We can’t let the dirt in our lives bury us. We must shake it off and then step up, step out and move on. Our journeys are all different. Don’t compare yourself to anyone else. It’s inevitable that we are going to have some symbolic dirt thrown on us during our lifetimes. Don’t compare your life’s dirt to someone else’s. The shoes they walk in were meant for them. We each have our own shoes and our own path to walk down.

Sometimes it will seem as if the way out of your deep and dark well, out of your difficulties, is hopeless, or too difficult to bear. It won’t be if you call on the Power Within and allow this Power to work in your life. The dirt will be much easier to shake off if you do.

Remember, we must “trust what we can’t yet see.” With each step we take, a new step will be revealed to us. We’re not meant to have the whole view revealed to us. Faith and trust are developed only where faith and trust are needed. If you can see the whole path–then it’s not your path, its someone elses.

One day I heard:

 “Thank you.”

“For what?” I asked. [I was very surprised that the Divine Intelligence was thanking me.]

 ”Your love and your trust.”

“I didn’t have any choice.” [I was being a bit sarcastic here; of course I had a choice. I was referring to my giving up," letting go and letting God", because my way hadn't been working.]  

“Yes you did.”

“The way to Me hasn’t been a cakewalk for you. I needed your strength—your character— and those aren’t found on easy street.

Oh so true–real character and real strength is revealed through the fire of the hard  and painful work of peeling back the layers. But is the most important work you can do—and the Phoenix of yourself will rise out of the ashes.

Once, in a dream, I was pregnant. It felt very vivid and real. In this dream, I went to the doctor with a friend to see if she was pregnant, and for some reason, thought I would check to see if I was. I was stunned and shocked to hear, “You are pregnant.”  “How could this be? I thought, “I’m too old for this baby stuff.”

The next day, during my meditation, the meaning was revealed to me.

“I Am the Father of your dream—no conception needed.”

“The birth is eminent—prepare to receive. Your labor is now—behold your new life.”

I have recieved messages just this clear for years–so I expected an answer. Read the rest of this entry »

The mythical phoenix is a wonderful, mystical Arabian Bird. Its story and many variations have been around for centuries. The phoenix is a beautiful bird with brilliant scarlet and gold plumage. The myth of the phoenix is engaging and symbolic. This beautiful bird is said to live 500 years, and then, at the time of its death it creates a nest and while still in it, sets it on fire. Out of the fiery hot ashes of its own demise springs a new phoenix. Read the rest of this entry »

One of the best prayers ever written on Oneness–on seeing God in everything. This is the ultimate goal. Meditate on this; disappear in its truth and meaning.

A Vision Of God

In the market, in the cloister—only God I saw.

In the Valley and on the mountain—only God I saw.

Him I have seen beside me oft in tribulation;

In favor and in fortune—only God I saw.

In prayer and in fasting, in praise and contemplation,

In the religion of the Prophet—only God I saw.

Neither soul nor body, accident nor substance,

Qualities nor causes—only God I saw.

Like a candle I was melting in His fire

Amidst the flames outflashing—only God I saw.

Myself with mine own eyes I saw most clearly,

But when I looked with God’s eyes—only God I saw.

I passed away into nothingness, I vanished,

And lo, I was All-living—only God I saw.
