AFFIRMATIVE PRAYER – LAW OF ATTRACTION – EFT – SPIRITUAL GROWTH FOR A MAGNIFICENT LIFE

 With the help of novelist William Gladstone,   Jack Canfield turned a vision for humanity that   he received during meditation into a novel.

 It’s called The Golden  Motorcycle Gang.

Jack’s vision was that he was a member of a golden, soul-traveling motorcycle gang who saw the earth in peril and decided to be born and live, in this time, so he could be present during humanity’s greatest crisis and help bring about massive global transformation.

The purpose of Jack’s novel is to help us understand that we are each a contributor to this new vision for humanity. He wants us to feel this truth: that each of us has something special and necessary to contribute to the evolution of humanity, and that our aim is make life on earth more closely approximate what we call “heaven.” [Read more →]

A friend asked what, if anything, I am going to do on 11/11/11. Frankly, I was not planning to do much out of the ordinary because the day holds no particular significance for me.

Yet 11/11/11 has gotten world attention and is causing hundreds of millions of us to, collectively, pause and focus on spiritual matters.

Many, including Barbara Marx Hubbard, see this day as symbolic of the “dawning of the Aquarian Age” and an opportunity to contribute to humanity ascending and conscious evolution.

I agree that this pausing, in and of itself, has great value. Pausing and uniting in mind and spirit for a specific purpose for even a moment has great power.

So I suggest that tomorrow, 11/11/11, is an excellent opportunity for millions of Christians and non-Christians to intentionally join together in Divine Mind for the purpose of positive co-creation. If you plan on participating, the simple prayer below may appeal and enhance your experience. [Read more →]

In one minute and seventeen seconds, this video gives me a rush of powerful and positive emotions, and a reminder that I think we all need daily. It really is the best one-minute motivational video I’ve seen. I recommend watching it daily. [Read more →]

Most spiritual seekers long to feel the presence of God in their lives. They want to feel the energy, feel the love, and hear God’s guidance clearly so they know they are not “imagining” things, but really in contact.

In short, they want experiential evidence of God.

They – and we – want guidance so we may live a godly life. [Read more →]

Scripture: “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.” – Matthew 16:24

“I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” – Romans 8:18

Contemplation: “What if the idea of deliberate suffering as a way to God has been misunderstood by established religion?”

For centuries Christians have been told that we can expect no paradise on earth.

We have been told that it is inevitable that we suffer on earth and that if we embrace that suffering – and perhaps add to it in the name of Christ – then we will take a step closer to holiness and nobility.

Joy in life, other than the joy experienced in ecstatic spiritual trance, has often been frowned upon.

We have also been told that, in exchange for the suffering involved in mortifying our flesh and denying the pleasures of the body on earth, we will get into heaven where, presumably, there will be no suffering.

Yet, when we examine these traditional teachings, we see that – whether we choose suffering or choose not to suffer – we wind up with suffering either way. Is this really what God intends? Or has there been a misunderstanding? What if “to suffer” means something completely different than what we’ve been taught?

The Occupy movement, which is being documented at Occupy.Org, and at OccupyLove.Org, has arisen due to growing awareness that our economy is not working for the benefit of all individuals in society.

Did Jesus not teach us that we are each our brother’s keeper?

Yet, somehow, business is conducted without any reference to that idea.

In fact, the desire to make a profit – which is a great motivator and has brought us great innovation, products and services – has transformed our economy into a greedy and predatory beast that preys on the poor.

So why does the U.S. economy – indeed the world economy – serve only the top 1%?

Do we not all deserve more peace of mind? What’s going on? And how can we transform our economy so it serves all? Here’s my take plus a prayer, at the bottom of this post, to transform the United States economy.

Harrisburg, Pa: a city at war with itself explains why the City of Harrisburg filed for bankruptcy protection this month. (Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett signed legislation last Thursday that allows for the takeover of the state’s capital.)

What does this article say to me? The title nearly says it all. There’s a war going on, but it’s not just in Harrisburg.

And it’s invisible.

The war is spiritual and is being waged inside each of us. It’s presenting us with the duality of our natures. We are Light and Dark at the same time, and the war between the two is creating chaos. [Read more →]

It is absolutely true that Jesus was a controversial person.

He not only claimed to receive guidance directly from God. He claimed to speak for God.

He taught peace in a violent time.

He taught his followers to bless their enemies when the norm was for people to hate and fear their oppressors.

He healed the sick. And he taught his disciples to be healers. [Read more →]

The new business concern is how to build business relationships that last. People want their businesses to succeed. They know that big business has lost the trust of consumers. They are looking to “stand out” by projecting an image of business ethics and morality.

BUILD BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS THAT LAST

Coming across as an ethical business is something you can’t fake, and people know it. Either you come from a place of integrity or you don’t.

Yet, given today’s business climate and the push to make profits at the expense of quality, customer service, society and the environment, it’s difficult for people in business or going into business to know what kind of moral foundation they need.

To those who desire to build better business relationship and are not afraid to turn to God for guidance, I offer the prayer “I Transform My Business Relationships,” at the bottom of this post. [Read more →]

While I often mention that having a daily spiritual practice is a necessity, I do not recall ever having defined what spiritual practice is.

So I’m going to attempt to answer the following questions: What counts as spiritual practice? Why should I do it – what is it supposed to do for me? And how often do I have to do it? [Read more →]
