A Course in Miracles Lesson 69 says “Grievances Hide The Light of the World In Me”. A grievance, or judgment, is a belief formed from previous experiences, trauma, or misinformation. We project that past judgment onto the present situation and don’t see the situation clearly as it is in the moment. Instead, we retreat into our old patterning of woundedness, victimhood, fear, doubt, anger, distrust or anything unlike love. This OLD energy into which we retreat strangles

Over the last few years when something previously unthinkable happens, many on the right disavow it by saying “this is NOT who we are as Americans”. This may not be who we ASPIRE to be. This may not be who we PURPORT to be. This is not who we PRETEND to be, but this is EXACTLY who we are. The United States has a representative government, meaning its government represents its people. Its people elected those who either oppose or enable previously unfathomable acts of hatre

This is more than a Sermon. It is an experiential spiritual treatment that can change your worldview and your life for the better. If you want your life to shift from the grim "black-and-white" view of pain and suffering to the technicolor view of joy and fulfillment, then this experience is for you. https://youtu.be/0-1s8q393Z4?si=BGcATUb_AGB0xb1o

Betrayed by God Betrayed By God Noted Psychologist Dr. Dolores Cummings noticed one day that her dog suffers separation anxiety. She then noted that we ALL have a mild case of separation anxiety because we feel separate from the loving, active, present God that would protect us, provide for us, and keep us in peace and joy. When we feel separate from this force, we feel anxious, fearful, and guilty (like prodigal children who have been banished from the Garden). It is d

You don't manifest what you WANT because you manifest an outer reflection of your inner vibrational frequency. When you WANT something, you are in lack. You are radiating lack and attracting its reflection. You get what you ARE. Therefore, if you desire peace, you must cultivate an inner consciousness of peace. If you want joy, you must cultivate an inner consciousness of joy. If you want fulfillment, you must cultivate an inner consciousness of fulfillment. A Course In

This is an excerpt from my book : The Soul of Prosperity The Law of Attraction We’ve already covered one of the Laws of Prosperity – the law of Inner Cause and Outer Effect. We observed this law in action in our educational system when noting that a child will perform up to our expectations, or down to our expectations in order to gain approval. That child has developed an awareness in its consciousness that in order to gain the approval that it equates with the love, suppor

Once Sequethia calmed down, I was able to work with her. She asked me to “intuit” where she left her Thumb Drive. I saw a never-used, almost hidden pocket in her brief case and saw the drive slipping between the folds of this hidden pocket. I asked Sequethia if this made any sense to her and it didn’t. However, she then opened her briefcase, found a “hidden” pocket where the thumb drive had slipped. After we had a good laugh about the incident we talked about its spiritua

Once the “dust” had settled, Sequethia asked me “What was that all about”? I shared with her that her experience was actually quite typical. We often apply meanings to things based on past experiences, and when we interpret the present based on the past, we tend to project past patterns forward and attract* the same experiences. In Sequethia’s case, she was so traumatized by unaffirming experiences that she had in the past that she automatically projected the same prosp

As a result of our experience together, Sequethia was happy again. When she lost her thumb drive, she she saw her whole life disintegrate. Because it contained her Doctoral Dissertation (which was a condition for her continued employment) she feared losing her job, her car, her house and more. She felt the terror of losing everything she had worked so hard to achieve. This moment felt as if the floor had fallen from beneath her and she felt as if she had fallen into a deep

Trump isn't a blight on the GOP brand; he exposed the GOP brand for what it is. This has always been the GOP Brand, cleverly camouflaged by starched white shirts (now sheets) and Brooks Brothers suits. They claimed to stand for reducing deficits, a strong military and a smaller government (the last two always being an oxymoron) but really did a masterful job of pitting working-class whites against their own interests (stable blue collar jobs that quietly got offshored) while

Tim (Sequethia’s co-worker) was so excited about a project at work that he rushed into his boss’s office for clarification of an issue. His boss seemed to be wrapping up a meeting with Sequethia, and so Tim just asked a quick question. Sequethia felt as if someone had just slapped her in the face. She felt dismissed, discarded, unimportant, unheard. She could feel an anger and rage rising up from within her and it took all the strength she could gather just to keep her co

Sequethia Sees a Mirage This morning, Sequethia was struggling to print something from her computer at home. She really needed to print and fax the document before she left for work. It was supposed to be completed the previous day, but after printing several drafts, Sequethia decided to “sleep on it” before printing the final version. She clicked the “print button” and expected the printer to respond. It didn’t. Sequethia flew into a rage. You see, her 24 year old colle

How do we keep the faith in a world that seems to have gone mad? This sermon can help.

I looked at my American Express bill recently. My health insurance, auto insurance, telephone, internet, and cable were all paid automatically on this credit card so I wasn’t paying attention to how much they were costing me. I subscribed to each of these services at low introductory “teaser” rates, but those rates had increased drastically over time and I was stunned at the amount of my bill. I’m sure they sent me renewal notices, but I probably ignored them thinking the

The economic crisis has dominated our headlines over the past several months, and will likely do so for the next several months. One of the things that most people that I counsel have asked is, “What is the spiritual significance of this experience?” As I have repeatedly consulted with my guidance, the response has been consistent: Your financial systems are being re-aligned so that they will now benefit all people fairly and equally. For quite a while your financial sys

A Course in Miracles (lessons 5 – 7) indicates “I see only the past”, meaning that when we see a thing, we project all our past associations and feeling onto that thing. These feelings block the meaning and lesson of the “moment” that that “thing” is designed to deliver as a part of our path of healing, and we are blinded to the truth of that thing in the moment. For example, a friend had a daughter who was “ always ” breaking her printer. When the printer malfunctioned, t

In the Bible, Kind David commissioned a set of officers to find and retrieve the Arc of the Covenant, which symbolized the spark of Divinity that lives within each human. He was as excited as a kid on Christmas morning because he would have a living symbol of man’s Divinity. He was so excited that he started dancing a dance of joy and danced his clothes right off his back. King David was willing to dance in advance . What King David tapped into, and what we can all tap into,

Webster’s Dictionary defines guilt as “remorseful awareness of having done something wrong.” Guilt is very insidious because it is so pervasive. We have been taught as a part of the Judeo-Christian tradition that we are born in sin, that our whole life is based on the erroneous assumption that we are “wrong” and that we must be made “right”. I counseled a person who was learning to live in love’s way. She had created a life that was rife with all abuses, big and small, f

Joanne is a 52 year old Attorney who was a typical "Type A" personality. She was accustomed to activity and was especially good at making things happen. However, Joanne found herself at a point in life when she had larger questions about her role in the universe. She felt a sense of restlessness that she could barely articulate, but this "unease" became stronger every day. She yearned to feel a sense of peace and calm instead. Her restlessness and concern was amplified b

I’ve carried a boulder all my life, I didn’t realize it. Had I realized it I would have put it down. I’ve been pushing it uphill, It’s gotten harder and harder, It’s gotten more tedious. I didn’t realize I carried this boulder, It was brilliantly disguised, It was disguised as “what others did to me” It was disguised as “what others didn’t do for me” It was comprised of a million little pebbles of resentment that weighted me down. I’ve found ways over the years to lighten the
