I try to be a compassionate person. My mother was a social worker so I learned a lot from her about caring for others. My grandfather was a judge so from him I learned about fairness and justice.
But there are certain issues that test my compassion. I just don’t understand some of the religious beliefs and tenets that are still prevalent in the world these days. It’s almost incomprehensible that people and religions still believe in things like: Continue reading

For years, Adamus has been encouraging us to act, role-play and imagine, in order to get out of our limited routines and creations. Lately he’s been saying it in another way, inviting us to look at our past – and therefore our future – from a broader perspective and see all the other potentials that are there. I call this rewriting our stories.
Humans communicate through stories. We use them to define our lives, but I believe they were actually meant to create our lives. We think our stories are only reporting on the past, but the truth is that we’re actually creating our future with them. Continue reading

As I write this it has been barely 24 hours since the devastating earthquake in Japan. I intensely felt the build up of energies over the preceding days, and today I feel the waves of chaos, fear, and dread as the world watches yet another disaster unfold.
We have been told by Adamus and others to expect these things – changes in the earth, the weather, the magnetics, even gravity – so when they happen we know to keep breathing. We know to honor the ones who have intimately participated in these events, even while the human suffering adds to the drama.
But this time, with the latest events, I also feel something different. There is another wave of emotion moving beneath the obvious, an indefinable thread weaving through the consciousness of humanity, and it carries a question most humans have no idea they are even asking.
“Did we fail again?”
I noticed it first in the energies of the ones who have transitioned in Japan, crossing over due to the earthquake and resulting tsunami. Then I began to feel it in humans across the earth, regardless of location, wealth, age, or beliefs. There are many humans who truly feel the end of the world is at hand, who rejoice in the expected soon coming of Jesus. There are also those who feel God is punishing the earth. And there are many more who don’t believe in that kind of God yet feel something big and unexplainable is happening. But underneath every façade, hidden from conscious awareness for most, I can sense a fear that “It’s happening again.” Because deep within our DNA we remember. Continue reading

In the midst of world chaos and bloody wars we ask, “Where is God?” When violent earthquakes destroy the lives of thousands, we ask, “Where is God?” When a loved one is killed by a drunk driver we ask, “Where is God?” When we read newspaper stories of children abused or women raped, we wonder where God is. In our personal dark night of the soul, when everything appears to have failed and our life seems nothing more than a void, we cry out to God but hear no voice – not our own, not of God.
Where is God? We search for this elusive Being in churches and books, try to find Him or Her through gurus and saints. It is often our first thought of the new day and our last thought before fading into our nighttime dreams. We call on Spirit in our prayers, in our meditations and through our tears. We have many names for this Being – Spirit, The Eternal One, YHWH, Allah, Creator, Light, Source, Ishvara. Some deny the existence of God but most acknowledge the presence of a divine, infinite Being, even if they have never had a conscious encounter with That Which Can Not Be Spoken.
Some argue that God is nature. Others say that God is within. But nearly all spend the days of their lives without an intimate relationship with this Being. Most have a deep-hearted desire to know God but resign themselves to waiting until they reach an equally unknown heavenly kingdom. Continue reading
