What is God?

“Under the guise of one word, humankind has shed more blood and also healed more illnesses, excused more hate and also bestowed more love, created more confusion and also solved more problems than any other word or combination of words… that word is God.” Walter Starcke Walter Starcke continues to expound that until this world […]

Who Gets Healed and Why?

Who is healed and who is not healed and why or why not? I am writing in response to a great blog by Dr. Jim Lockard about healing and the detrimental words and advice we as Spiritual teachers and friends can give others about this subject. The worst thing you can ask someone who is […]

We’re in this Together

Today is our first community meeting, as we begin to reveal our next step for CSL Kaua’i. I feel like we are going back to the beginning, in that right now, it is just an idea, a concept ready to be birthed. But, then everything comes from ideas. I remember when we left from Los […]

Clarity and Faith and Positivity

Once Upon a Time

She was thrown against the windshield, where she hit her head and then tossed onto the ground, knocked […]
