“Faith is an openness and trusting attitude to truth and reality, whatever it may turn out to be. This is a risky and adventurous state of mind. Belief in the religious sense, is the opposite of faith - because it is a fervent wishing or hope, a compulsive clinging to the idea that the universe is arranged and governed in such and such a way. Belief is holding to a rock; faith is learning how to swim - and this whole universe swims in boundless space.” - Alan Watts

The spiritually dead church. In my life, as a minister's son, I have seen many spiritually dead churches. There is no love, or working of the spirit. Some churches, have become a haven, for social gatherings, gossip meetings, and condemnation.

Don't be afraid of what is possible and please don't hurt those who try and learn - they are usually more interested in helping you than hurting you.

There are not many people who can believe that Pythagoras bi-located or that this is part of how Jesus resurrected. There are far fewer people who have had the 'blessings' I have had including dimensional aspects related to this title.

Love is a powerful tool used to successfully coach any type of client - from high level executives to prison inmates. In order to make an impact with Love, a coach must put aside their own egos and agendas to create a secure arena for a client to flourish.

I’d like to dispel a few myths. You don’t have to eat mung beans and wear ugly shoes to be spiritual. You can enjoy your physical comforts and wear Jimmy Choos, because, as Marianne Williamson says in Return to Love, “there is nothing pure or spiritual about poverty!”

Christening or baptism ceremonies are an important event in a child's life. Show your guests your appreciation by getting the right baptism favors.

A brief exploration of the difference between the western view of our imperfection and a movement towards 'Wholeness' vs the eastern view of our always already perfection and movement away from 'Wholeness'.

Tibetan Singing Bowls have stirred the interest of many spiritually-inclined healers. But is every singing bowl out there really Tibetan? And do they all have healing properties? Don't buy one until you read this article.

After more than three decades of church ministry, I have come to one unsettling conclusion. Actually, I've come to more than one conclusion, but this one is the most depressing. That conclusion is simply this: all who say they are going to Heaven are not actually on the right path, going in the right direction. Most, of course, have the best intentions, but good intentions don't make up for going in the wrong direction.

The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.

When it comes to stress and worrying about our problems, we can gain wisdom by watching how a baby responds to a parent. God desires the same trust from us that a child learns to have in a parent.

Life is never about yourself, neither is it about anyone else. Everyday you come face to face with another part of you in another body. The separation is just an illusion and in truth you are just interacting with yourself. You are alone in a world filled with images of yourself trying to figure out just who you are.

For some of us, EVERY DAY IS HALLOWEEN!!! If you want to be unusual dress up as a nurse, secretary, grocery clerk or bank teller this year. Gypsy, vampires and shaman wanna-bes are everywhere already!

Why is it that we want to control our lives so much? Why can’t we just turn out lives over to the Infinite Perfection that is God? The sun came up today, didn’t it? If God can make the sun come up then He can also make my life magical. I must allow and surrender.

The Tarot is not just a divinatory tool, but it can also be utilized in the appropriately trained hands as a tool for providing counsel and advice with which we can navigate life. It is an antique form of divination that predates popular psychology, but has been shown to have archetypal energies that work well from a Jungian perspective. Tarot becomes a book of wisdom offering you a living parable or myth that reflects your life journey in the hands of the right Diviner. It describes a journey that mirrors your path in life. Usually the story is a direct description of what is going to happen in a particular window of time although talented readers can tell you much more than that from looking at the symbols in the cards!

Many types and styles of Tarot cards exist, and a breakdown of even the more common Tarot card deck reads like a mysterious journey into the occult – and perhaps it is!

Life is full of ups and downs. There is a time to sow and a time to reap. You cannot sow and reap at the same time. Everyone is born with the purpose.

We all have rituals. For most of us these rituals are unconscious. We might sit in the same chair every time we are at a meeting. We might do certain actions in a certain way each morning without realising it. We become creatures of habit. Our lives run in well-set grooves and we hate these routines being disturbed. We protect ourselves against change while all around us change happens.
