What is the Prosperity Gospel…Really?

I know that Religious Science and other New Thought theologies have been labeled as the Prosperity Gospel theology. I read some derogatory remarks and essays about this, stating that this was an “evil” thing and not at all aligned in what God really means in our lives. I don’t want to get into all that, […]

Love Moves Me

Does love move you? I’m not talking about valentine’s and love for a special person or any other manifestation of love. I am talking about the very essence of who you are, the truth of who you are. You are Love. Love is the self-giviningness of the Spirit through the desire of life to express […]

What is a Miracle?

Do you realize that what seems like a miracle is merely the Laws of the Universe properly directed in action? I’ve been working on my book about the beginning of our ministry here on Kaua’i. As I was reading over the past that included the move here and all that transpired, I thought, “Wow! How […]

Like a Jazz Singer

Yesterday evening I had the opportunity to do something that surprisingly I’ve never done as a singer. I had the opportunity to sit with a group of musicians – instrumentalists and other singers – and just improv through the music in the moment. I believe it’s called jamming.

Is it true? Is It Necessary? Is it Kind?

“If you propose to speak, always ask yourself, “Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind?” This quote has been attributed to many philosophers, mystics and sects from Buddha to the Amish. No matter where this gateway of speech comes from, I believe it is important enough to note. If we consider that our […]

Thoughts = Matter

I am more deeply convinced in the Power of our Thoughts and the disciplining of them. I understand that an unruly mind is a detriment to my life and the aspirations I have, and to my ability to be in an inspired state. I must discipline my mind. To me, this means spending time in […]

Making Things Out of Ourselves

I’ve written about how we can have what we want provided it hurts no one. However, in reality we can only have what we can become. Spirit makes things out of itself by becoming the thing it makes.There is no where else anything can come from. That would be duality. There is only one Power. […]

What Do You Want?

What do you want? The answers to this question are as individual as there are people in the world. There are billions of different wants. Dr. Ernest Holmes, teacher and mystic, writes that we can have whatever we want provided it doesn’t take away from the Good of someone else. He also writes, if we […]

What About Money?

We are about to embark on the month of February and we will not be talking about love and valentines. We will be focusing on the spiritual idea called “money.” Yes, money! We would like to take all the stigma off the word, embrace it as good and increase the flow in our life and […]
