In life, we often encounter people eager to offer advice and opinions on our journeys. Yet, the path we walk is uniquely our own, filled with experiences, challenges, and triumphs that only we truly understand.

Let’s celebrate our unique paths and honor the lessons we’ve learned along the way. Trust yourself, and take each step with confidence, knowing you’re the best judge of your own journey.

“Everyone on Earth is here to participate in and contribute to the mass awakening of humanity to the truth that your thoughts create your humanity.  This is crucial to understand since you are connected to layers and levels of reality that intertwine for the purpose of creating and exploring the majestic multidimensional nature of existence.

Knowledge is sacred and the choice to be informed or merely entertained in today’s world is a very revealing test of the times.  Expanding your mind to penetrate the deeper meanings of life is not only liberating, it is crucial to your well-being, for knowledge is power, and how you use your power inevitably determines the course of your personal and collective life.

The social and political situations you currently face, personally and globally, include a series of very intense lessons of discernment.  You are all challenged to see

through the well-crafted, mind-boggling business of fear that has overrun the planet.

Maintaining your faith in a positive outcome for all you encounter everyday is not always easy; however, it is important to remember that difficult and challenging experiences precede all worthwhile accomplishments.

The choices you make and the risks you are willing to take at this time are essential to the process of strengthening your resolve and waking up to the recognition and application of your personal power.  Ultimately, you create all you encounter for very good reasons.

You are living in a time when opportunities for self-empowerment, expanded awareness, and spiritual growth appear to be unlimited.”

“To live a path with heart means … to allow the flavor of goodness to permeate our life.  When we bring full attention to our acts, when we express our love and see the preciousness of life, the quality of goodness in us grows.  A simple caring presence can begin to permeate more moments of our life.  And so we should continually ask our own heart, ‘What would it mean to live like this?  Is the path, the way we have chosen to live our life, leading to this?’

In the stress and complexity of our lives, we may forget our deepest intentions.  But when people come to the end of their life and look back, the questions that  they most often ask are not usually ‘How much is in my bank account?’ or ‘How many books did I write?’ or ‘What did I build?’ or the like.  If you have the privilege of being with a person who is aware at the time of his or her death. you find the questions such a person asks are very simple:  ‘Did I love well?’  ‘Did I live fully?’  ‘Did I learn to let go?’

These simple questions go to the very center of spiritual life.  When we consider loving well and living fully, we can see the ways our attachments and fears have limited us, and we can see the many opportunities for our hearts to open.  Have we let ourselves love the people around us, our family, our community, the earth upon which we live?  And, did we also learn to let go?  Did we learn to live through the changes of life with grace, wisdom, and compassion?  Have we learned to forgive and live from the spirit of the heart instead of the spirit of judgment?

Letting go is a central theme in spiritual practice, as we see the preciousness and brevity of life.  When letting go is called for, if we have not learned to do so, we suffer greatly, and when we get to the end of our life, we may have what is called a crash course.  Sooner or later we have to learn to let go and allow the changing mystery of life to move through us without our fearing it, without holding and grasping.

Letting go and moving through life from one change to another brings the maturing of our spiritual being.  In the end, we discover that to love and let go can be the same thing.  Both ways do not seek to possess.  Both allow us to touch each moment of this changing life and allow us to be there fully for whatever arises next.”
