Consciousness First

“Ernest Holmes wrote, “Ignorance stays with us until the day of enlightenment, until our vision toward the Spirit broadens and casts out the image of a no longer useful littleness. What we now experience we may cease experiencing if we have the will and the imagination to set our vision in an opposite direction and […]

Happy Birthday Rev. Patrick Feren

When you meet your destiny, you know it, even if you do not consciously admit it. I remember when I saw Patrick Feren for the first time. It was back in 1997 and I was at an actors’ gathering in New Mexico. He was standing across a crowded room. He didn’t notice me. “Some enchanted […]

Birthing Prosperity

Prosperity has been on many of our minds during this time of the Coronavirus. In fact, more than likely, it has been on many of our minds for much of our lives. How many of us never concern ourselves about money? Honestly, I know that I have had to come to terms with my abundance […]

Stop

Yesterday, I took a moment to stop. I shut off my connections to the outside world and went within. The surprising thing is that I had truly not done this during the time of the Coronavirus. Yes, of course I did my meditations and daily treatments, but I simply took off like a race horse […]

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? Well, there might be […]
