Do you know how much of a miracle you truly are? The source that makes all living things in the universe is also the same source that’s inside of you. This Divine Source interacts and is connected with the whole of you, which means your body, mind and soul.

At many of my lectures, people attend hoping to connect with a soul on the Other-Side. But I often remind my audiences that they too are a soul here and now, and how incredibly powerful we are! We get so caught up in the physical world we forget about our inner world.

To honor your divinity, to live a spiritual and physical life of happiness, serenity, abundant health, and to experience a loving and successful relationship, it’s important to understand and get to know your true essence – your soul. You must begin to reach inwards to meet your soul, to move through all the layers of what’s been built up inside and around you over the years.

Lost souls are people who are spiritually adrift. For whatever reason, these individuals have blocked the intuitive guidance coming from their higher selves.  In doing this, they have also cut themselves off from feeling the infinite love of the universe, and this leads to struggle, anger and sadness.  As a result, a lost soul’s life is very challenging.

If you are currently working to raise your vibration and follow your highest path, you probably find it difficult to interact with lost souls.   These individuals can be some of the most frustrating people to deal with because they radiate lower vibrational energy, and the way that they interact with others can be quite off-putting.

However, if we want to help these people we must react with sympathy, rather than anger and hostility.  Lost souls need unconditional love more than the rest of us because they are so starved for it.  Although this may be challenging at times, love and acceptance are really the only things we can give to help others who have lost their way.

Devote yourself fully to each of your moments. Show it and yourself respect, love and interest…..there will never be another like it again. ~ Creator

In a series of headlines that would pass as virtually unbelievable several years ago, mainstream economists are sounding the alarm over the financial decline of both fast food giant McDonald’s and biotech juggernaut Monsanto.

CNN asks, ‘Is McDonald’s doomed?’ Business Insider declares that ‘McDonald’s Is Losing America’ as the company fires its own CEO. What’s happening? As it turns out, the world is starting to ask what they’re truly eating in their food — and the new conglomerate of natural grocers and restaurants are trailblazing the way into an entirely new economic environment. In other words: people are simply tired of shoveling garbage into their bodies, and they’re not going to put up with it anymore.

Deep inside of you, you always know the right answer to any decision you need to make. If you are having trouble listening to that inner voice, there is still a wounded part of you making its presence known. As your own loving parent, identify what that is, and integrate it back into wholeness by giving yourself whatever love, nurturing or reassurance is necessary. Then look at the decision you need to make again.

If you are operating your life through the lens of unconditional love and authentic power, identifying and making the highest choice for you will become easier and easier, and result in a smoother, more satisfying life expression. The key is not to ignore, or through your will, override the wounded part of self, but to acknowledge it, honour it, and give it exactly what it needs until all parts of you are on board with willingly moving in the same empowered direction. ~Archangel Gabriel

Life is a like a tree with leaves. The angle from which you look at the leaves makes a difference. The way the sunlight falls on the leaves makes a difference. The time of day. The mood you’re in. Trees are multi-dimensioned.

When you climb a tree and look at each leaf with a microscope, you will have microscopic view of leaves. This is what you may often do with your personal life. It is not always to your advantage to view your life as intently as you do. It could make you nearsighted.

Life is to be lived, not examined under a microscope, nor is life to be pushed aside or swept under the carpet or overlooked altogether.

I hesitate to say that life doesn’t need an inspection at all. Insights can arise spontaneously. If I say you will do well to take a long view of life, you may interpret that as just taking a glance, or you may interpret a long view as holding on to the past.

Let the past go and enter the present. You don’t shuffle life along, nor do you race through it. Take the position that life is what it is and that it is also what you make of it. Don’t make too much of life. Well, don’t be in the position of not seeing the forest for the trees.

Tears Along The Way

O my God, what irony it is

That we are at the bottom of hell,

And yet are afraid of immortality.

Introduction

Recently I had a conversation with a colleague about why there isn’t much offered in the spiritual literature...

Sometimes, when the darkness comes to call, the last thing you will want to do is look at, work on and move through it.  You will dodge and do anything possible to get away from the pain and anguish.  Those are the exact moments when The Universe is asking you to be the brave and advanced soul you truly are.  Yes, it will be challenging.  Yes, it will test every fiber of your being, but it is what you came to do.  Do not be afraid, my love, I am with you and there will always be light on the other side. ~ Creator
