After thirty years of teaching Inner City, Special Education students and forty-five years of metaphysical studies, I have decided to share my life's philosophical understandings on this wonderful website. For me, everything in my life has been a spiritual experience from being raised in an alcoholic household, to marriage and teaching, and finally caring for an Alzheimer parent. I have sought at least fifteen, personal psychic readings to try and assist me as a wife, teacher and caretaker. I want to share the wisdom that I have gained from following the valuable spiritual guidance from my inner knowing and from heeding the advise of channeled answers from trusted psychics. At almost 70 years old, I am writing, traveling and enjoying retirement in Florida.

Gnosticism Was A Religious And Philosophical Movement

“Gnosticism was a religious and philosophical movement popular in the Roman world in the 2nd–3rd century AD. The term, based on the Greek gnōsis (‘secret knowledge’), was coined in the 17th century when it was applied liberally to ancient Christian heretical sects, especially those described by their orthodox contemporaries as radically dualistic and world-denying, and those who sought salvation through esoteric revelation and mystical spirituality.

The discovery of the Nag Hammadi texts in 1945 greatly enhanced the understanding of Gnosticism.

The relationship with ancient Christianity remains uncertain, but the Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of Mary (which portrays Mary Magdalene as a leading apostle) are generally seen as being grounded in Gnosticism. They emphasized the teachings of Jesus, rather than his death and resurrection, as the key to salvation.

Male and female saviors (including Jesus) were sent from the world above to instruct humanity in the knowledge of the true God and humanity’s own divine nature. In general, Gnostics taught asceticism (severe self-discipline and avoidance of all forms of indulgence), cosmological dualism (the ongoing battle between good and evil), docetism (affirming that Christ did not have a real or natural body during his life on earth but only an apparent or phantom one), and the existence of the divine spark in humans.”

Lessons And Feelings At 70+ Years Old

I asked a friend who has crossed 70 & is heading towards 80 what sort of changes he is feeling in himself. He sent me the following:
1. After loving my parents, my siblings, my spouse, my children, and my friends, I have now started loving myself.
2. I have realized that I am not “Atlas”. The world does not rest on my shoulders.
3. I have stopped bargaining with vegetable & fruit vendors. A few pennies more is not going to break me, but it might help the poor fellow save for his daughter’s school fees.
4. I leave my waitress a big tip. The extra money might bring a smile to her face. She is toiling much harder for a living than I am.
5. I stopped telling the elderly that they’ve already told that story many times. The story makes them walk down memory lane & relive their past.
6. I have learned not to correct people even when I know they are wrong. The onus of making everyone perfect is not on me. Peace is more precious than perfection.
7. I give compliments freely & generously. Compliments are a mood enhancer not only for the recipient, but also for me. And a small tip for the recipient of a compliment, never, NEVER turn it down, just say “Thank You.”

8. I have learned not to bother about a crease or a spot on my shirt. Personality speaks louder than appearances.

9. I walk away from people who don’t value me. They might not know my worth, but I do.
10. I remain cool when someone plays dirty to outrun me in the rat race. I am not a rat & neither am I in any race.
11. I am learning not to be embarrassed by my emotions. It’s my emotions that make me human.
12. I have learned that it’s better to drop the ego than to break a relationship. My ego will keep me aloof, whereas with relationships, I will never be alone.
13. I have learned to live each day as if it’s the last. After all, it might be the last.
14. I am doing what makes me happy. I am responsible for my happiness, and I owe it to myself. Happiness is a choice. You can be happy at any time, just choose to be!
I decided to share this for all my friends. Why do we have to wait to be 60 or 70 or 80, why can’t we practice this at any stage and age?

Do What You Are Guided to Do

“Do what you are guided to do when situations large or small arise while always recognizing the Divinity of everyone involved.  A smile, a kind word, needed support, a listening ear, petting a lonely dog, and always acknowledging the Divine Light shining from every person’s eyes regardless of their state of consciousness.  This is Light work and is what you came to do.  Even the simplest of activities done with spiritual awareness add Light energy to Earth’s collective and can actually lift or heal another if they are receptive.                 

Whatever you give energy to feeds or continues it.  Every war on drugs, cancer or disease, war on this or that simply draws attention to and adds energy to the issue allowing it to stay alive and well in the collective.

Your work as a spiritually awakened person is to live from your highest level of truth and as you do this, more will be given.  This does not mean burying your head while shouting ‘God is all’ but rather means re-interpreting appearances — being in the world, but not of it.

Not everyone is spiritually ready to understand what is happening to them and the world.  Offer honest practical guidance when asked but do not attempt to inform, change, or force your knowledge on another in the belief that you are ‘saving’ them.

Every person has Guides and a Higher Self and in some form or another is on their evolutionary path.  Secretly and silently acknowledge the Divine nature of every person and then go about your business.

Those ready for truth will be drawn to you at the right time and it is usually someone you least expect to be interested in truth.

Rest in reality.  Be rather than do, and trust that all is proceeding according to plan.

We are the Arcturian Group.”

It Is God’s Gift To Us

“It is God’s gift to us that we should be capable of a consciousness of our own spiritual nature and our purpose to manifest the love of God. Only we humans, among creation in the Earth, have been granted this gift of consciousness.  We can all be conscious, confident, and secure in the knowledge that we are of the One Force-one with it, while at the same time being an individuated part of it.

We are endowed with the God-like qualities of love, will, and mind. The spirit of God and of us all is one and the same. 

As a spiritual entity, one with God, we are destined to grow and develop and ultimately to return to a full communion with God.

All good, all hope, all mercy, all purpose of divine flows from Love itself; that God would have us in our former estate,

knowing ourself to be one with God yet individual, capable of making those influences that make known the joy of love that law is love, love is law to all.”  (ECRI 1157-1)

The purpose of the heart is to know yourself to be yourself and one with God. (281-37)”

John 14:10 – Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.

Seek Out The New And Interesting Experiences

“You are meant to live your lives there on Earth, and the more you seek out the new and interesting experiences that are available to you, the more fun you will have, the more people you will encounter, and the more you can set your beliefs aside for a moment and just be with something or someone.

As soon as you start to define something, you start to limit what it is and what it can be to you. And the same is true of your fellow humans and groups of your fellow humans, that it is so much easier to just put in a nice neat little box. Don’t do that to yourselves or to any other, and you will find that this universe can surprise you and it can give you anything you want, including any experience.

Don’t even get attached to your own perspectives, but rather, be open to feeling into what is next for you, what could change in a heartbeat, and what could take you further down your path of expansion and spiritual evolution. There is so much more for all of you to experience, which is why you get so excited and interested in shifting to a new dimension, but also remember that the dimension you are in right now has much more dimensionality to it than just one, static, limited perspective on reality.

Open yourselves up and let go, and see where the current flow of energies takes you, because we guarantee that they will take you to a better feeling place than you’ve been before.

We are the Arcturian Council, and we have enjoyed connecting with you.”
