The Truth about Enlightenment Is You Do Not Need It

posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 2

Peace has never come from dropping bombs. Real peace comes from enlightenment and educating people to behave more in a divine manner. ~ Carlos Santana

For most of the years I’ve been on a conscious spiritual path, I’ve been seeking enlightenment—just like almost everyone else I know.

But lately I’ve discovered the truth about enlightenment—we do not need it.

Spirit

We realize our title is a strange statement, perhaps startling even, for some. A logical question you might have is, “How can I NOT need enlightenment, especially given the seemingly chaotic conditions on our planet today?”… Read more

posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 22

Apocalypse: The complete final destruction of the world, as described in the biblical book of Revelation. ~ Oxford Dictionary

In a recent letter, a reader wrote us, “I, for one, would love to hear what Spirit has to say about these times we are living in.”

So without further ado, here is Spirit.

Humans have been predicting and dreading the destruction of life on earth, the end of your world, for centuries.

Guess what? The world really is ending.… Read more

There Is No Death

posted in: Blog, channeling, life and death | 4

There is no death because what God created shares His Life. There is no death because an opposite to God does not exist. ~ A Course in Miracles

Several of my close family and friends have recently experienced a death among their loved ones. Also, in response to our last post, Rising Above the Clouds, several folks mentioned their concerns about death.

So my spirit guides and I thought it would be good to follow up on what we said in Rising Above the Clouds.… Read more

Rising Above the Clouds

When we contemplate the whole globe as one great dewdrop, striped and dotted with continents and islands, flying through space with other stars all singing and shining together as one, the whole universe appears as an infinite storm of beauty. ~ John Muir

Many years ago I was a commercial pilot. I’ve always loved flying, and still do.

One of the things I love most about it is that exhilaration I always feel as the plane is rising above the clouds and up into the sky.… Read more

That Still, Small Voice Within You

posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 18

I think that God gives you your own will and choices. I don’t believe that we’re supposed to drag ourselves through life defeated and and not see God’s blessings. But you have to make the right choices and follow that still, small voice within you….that’s how God leads us. ~ Pastor Joel Osteen

posted in: Blog, channeling, healing | 4

With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds…to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves, and with all nations. ~ US President Abraham Lincoln, Second Inaugural Address, March 4, 1865, just before the end of the Civil War

Reaching Beyond Belief and Faith

posted in: Blog, channeling, life purpose | 6

If we choose only to expose ourselves to opinions and viewpoints that are in line to our own, we become more polarized, more set in our own ways. It will only reinforce and deepen the political divides in our country. But if we choose to actively seek out information that challenges our assumptions and beliefs, perhaps we can begin to understand where the people who disagree with us are coming from. ~ Barack Obama

Our Top 10 Blog Posts from 2016

year-2016-in-review

 

For our first post of 2017, my spirit guides and I thought it would be fun to go back to 2016 and review the 10 posts you, our readers, liked the best. Without further ado, here they are (in no particular order):

  • Defying Death
    A couple weeks ago, a 9-year-old boy was accidentally shot and killed in Montana, not far from where I live. To all appearances, it was certainly a tragically sad and premature death.
  • Those Who Serve in Silence
    A close friend came to us a while back, wondering why he was on earth, and what difference he was making, if any.

The Greatest Gift: An Alternative To War

posted in: Blog, channeling, peace on earth | 23

Wisdom born of experience should tell us that war is obsolete. There may have been a time when war served as a negative good by preventing the spread and growth of an evil force . . . .If we assume that life is worth living, if we assume that mankind has the right to survive, then we must find an alternative to war. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr., The Christmas Sermon on Peace, December 24, 1967

Do You Believe in the Greatness of Humanity?

posted in: Blog, channeling, inspiration | 12

The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively. ~ Bob Marley

Buddhist monk Matthieu Ricard tells the story of Father Pierre Ceyrac, a Roman Catholic Jesuit priest and missionary. For 60 years, Father Ceyrac cared for over 30,000 children in India. He lived to be 98 years old, spending almost all his adult life caring for others.

Here are some of Father Ceyrac’s thoughts:

Despite everything, I’m struck by the goodness of people, even those who seem to have their hearts and eyes shut.… Read more

Just A Dog

A good dog never dies, he always stays. He walks beside you on crisp autumn days when frost is on the fields and winter’s drawing near. His head is within our hand in his old way. ~ Mary Carolyn Davies, American writer

It was two days before Christmas many years ago, my senior year of college. In my parents’ home, I stood staring out the window at the gray winter landscape. The bleak scene mirrored my own inner bleakness. I felt none of the joy of the Christmas season.… Read more

Is the Flu Season a Myth?

Everyone has a doctor in him or her. We just have to help it in its work. The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well. ~ Hippocrates

The holiday season is upon us. And so too is the flu season—or so the news media (and probably the drug companies) would have us believe. But I know many of you reading this do not buy into that propaganda.

I quit believing in flu season long ago.… Read more

The 10 Ways Gratitude Can Transform Your Life

posted in: Blog, body mind spirit, channeling | 10

Gratitude is our most direct line to God and the angels. If we take the time, no matter how crazy and troubled we feel, we can find something to be thankful for. ~ Terry Lynn Taylor, American writer

show-gratitude-for--all-your-blessings

 

In the United States we celebrated our annual Thanksgiving Day two days ago. My spirit guides thought this would be a good time to “count our blessings.” Most of us have far more blessings than we’re even aware of. It’s important to always know that, especially with the political turmoil in this country and the world over.… Read more

There Are As Many Realities As There Are People on the Planet

It’s Time For Healing

Of one thing I am certain, the body is not the measure of healing. Peace is the measure. ~ George Melton

heart love healing a broken world

 

Lately I’ve had a “dry spell” in my channelling work, and have taken a bit of time away from it. But we’ll be back to what passes for normal next week.

Unless you’re living in a cave somewhere, you’ve probably noticed all the hostility and negativity around the United States presidential election. It’s been a traumatic time for many, a jubilant time for others, depending on which of the two candidates they were rooting for.… Read more

The Standing Rock Pipeline Protesters

When we show our respect for other living things, they respond with respect for us. ~ Native American proverb

They did not grab much attention in the mainstream news, partly because of the negative, noisy US presidential election season. But the Standing Rock pipeline protesters in North Dakota, in my opinion, deserve a hearing. Apparently, they’re not going to get much of one.

As you may know, the protests are over the Dakota Access Pipeline construction in North Dakota, near the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation.… Read more

Dreams Come True, So Dream the Good Ones

Refuse to be a part of fearful dreams, whatever form they take, for you will lose identity in them. ~ A Course in Miracles

dreams-come-true

 

Our world is filled with fearful dreams. We need look no farther than the news headlines to get a glimpse of all the visions of horror, all the fearful dreams being dumped on humanity.

But we do not have to buy into those dreams, into that darkness. We do not have to make ourselves victims of whatever real or imaginary villains are out there.… Read more

Now, as I turn 85…with my life closer to its end than its beginning, I wish to help give people dignity in dying….Dying people should have the right to choose how and when they leave Mother Earth. ~ Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace laureate and Archbishop Emeritus of Capetown, South Africa

Garbage Eyeballs

No matter what you are looking at, you can find something wrong with it, something imperfect, something that is not okay with you. Don’t worry, if you look hard enough you’ll find it. ~ Neale Donald Walsch

The White Dove of Peace on Earth

In preparing to write this post, I was searching through some quotations on war. Here are several of my favorites:

  • Sometime they’ll give a war and nobody will come. ~ Carl Sandburg, American poet, writer, and editor
  • You can no more win a war than you can an earthquake. ~ Jeannette Rankin, first woman ever elected  to the United States Congress, in 1916, from Montana
  • War may be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good.

Defying Death

Death makes me very angry. Premature death makes me angrier still….Death has never made any sense to me. How can a person be there and then just vanish, just not be there? ~ Larry Ellison, Oracle founder

I found Larry Ellison’s words (above) intriguing, to say the least. But when you think about it, isn’t he just echoing what so many other people say? I know most of you reading this most likely have a different perspective on death. But many side with Ellison.… Read more

Is Time Travel Possible?

posted in: Blog, channeling, mind body soul | 18

In Einstein’s equation, time is a river. It speeds up, meanders, and slows down. The new wrinkle is that it can have whirlpools and fork into two rivers. So, if the river of time can be bent into a pretzel, create whirlpools and fork into two rivers, then time travel cannot be ruled out. ~ Dr. Michio Kaku, Japanese American theoretical physicist.

These Secrets To Happiness Can Transform Your Life

posted in: Blog, channeling, happiness | 8

Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself. ~ Og Mandino
