Step Back and Step Up

When my children were young, once in a while they’d have a temper tantrum. Anyone who has experienced a child in tantrum knows how frustrating it can be. I found a remedy that always worked. I’d turn on my little 1980’s tape recorder and tape them. Then immediately, I’d begin to play it back to […]

Spiritual Growth or Tolerance?

Dr. Robert Bitzer, mystic and teacher of the Science of Mind and Spirit wrote, “Adjusting yourself to situations over which you have no control does not bring spiritual growth. Such experience would develop tolerance, patience, and forbearance; but it merely accepts the status quo and disallows your opportunity for conscious choice.” This statement brings up […]

It’s About What’s In Here

There is something that I know for a certainty and that is I am not conditioned by my outside experiences. I have spent over 20 years cultivating and growing my consciousness and I realize that I am not presently wired to worry, fret or think negatively. Do I ever think negatively?

The Easter Masterpiece

I wrote this blog yesterday, Easter morning, and share it as a talk at our Center. The Easter Masterpiece Here it is: It’s Easter morning. On April 8, Passover began.

Love Behind the Mask

Are You Poised in Spirit?

It was the day after my birthday, March 12, when the Coronavirus pandemic began to grow in expression, landing us here now sheltering in our homes, many of us wearing masks when we go out, losing the freedom of public gatherings, many stricken by the illness, fear running amok, fake news, and much more in […]

Wake Up Flower Children!

We just watched a film last night called, “Sunseed, the Journey.” It was about the 1960’s and the coming of the East to the West in the form of different gurus and philosophies, such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Sufism. It brought back memories of that time period and many thoughts about how it applies to […]

Is a Renaissance is Birthing?

Did you know that our world is actually experiencing grief right now? I heard a podcast with Gregg Braden, and when he offered this way of looking at what we are experiencing globally as COVID 19, it made total sense. For any of us who do not know what I am referring to, the five […]
