Thinking About Your Divinity
The mind processing that which it cannot have. Are you divine? Do you recognize your divinity? If you said "yes," how is it that you know? If you said "no, I can't recognize it yet," it's ok. I love you. Maybe this post will help. The part of you that asks the question cannot be the part of you that answers it. In truth, the mind and intellect can circle your divinity for a lifetime, and never see it. The thing that thinks about its divinity cannot recognize it. Recognizing Y


Cause And Effect
Clarity into understanding circumstance. "Random". You've heard the word a thousand times. A random phone call. A random event. Someone's words heard synchronistically at the right time. All "random". Whatever it was, in that moment it seemed like a single event. It appeared as something, a circumstance, that presented itself, in the here and now. But it wasn't… "random". We experience cause and effect throughout our incarnation, and it is on a level much deeper than most peo


Balance
The Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine as One. As my health struggles continue to resolve following another experience with divinity in the desert, balance has become more necessary. My body is reminded that it must stay grounded and well, even as my essence continues to float beyond it, free of it. The suffering of the body and the freedom found in transcending it are not opposites. They are two halves of "One." The Dance There is a dance that happens between the Divine Ma


Antichrist
Not what you think, but who you know. Most people hear the word Antichrist and they picture a demonic figure or somebody extremely powerful who is present on the world stage. Possibly a ruler, a deceiver, or someone appearing at the end of days. All of these are certainly a possibility. However, I want to show you something different. And to do so, I'll use a familiar story, maybe one you already know, or have heard of before. It is the story of Judas and Jesus. My intentio


The Hidden Truth
Secret knowledge: You never needed a thing. On the third anniversary of my NDE, at 4:30 in the morning, three years to the minute, in the high desert of Utah, I experienced Divinity manifest. This is what I was shown. What Wasn't Needed It was all unnecessary in a necessary kind of way. You never needed a thing, which meant most of you felt you needed something. That something you felt you needed was created with purpose for you to experience. It was something that was alway


One
We are one. We are all connected in ways far deeper than you can imagine. Follow the string of connection between us far enough and you will stop finding two. You will find One. During my life review, I was shown that we are all connected in a way that is likely very different from your current definition of connection. What I am referring to is Truth. One is Truth, and Truth is reality. Truth encompasses all. Everything, everyone, happening everywhere, all at once, in every


Two
Where two or more are gathered… It can be many. For this post, I'll use two. You and a friend. You and a partner. You and a stranger you'll never see again. Where two or more are gathered, there is the opportunity for Unity. Opportunity is the key word. Gathering alone is only a representation of proximity. It does not recognize the opportunity. Unity is what happens when those gathered actually meet in an understanding of Unity. Nothing Exists By Itself Think of it this way:


Three
The number of divinity. Many of you have been waiting for some of this information. And based on what you read below, you might understand why I have been hesitant to share some of this with you. But as of right now, I am being guided to share what is written here publicly. Please try to stay grounded as you digest what you read below. Three On the third anniversary of my NDE, I took to the high desert at night with another psychic and experiencer to fulfill instructions I ha


What's The Matter?
The view clouding your awakening. What matters? Is it the weather? The money in your account? The politics you argue about, the shape you're in, how many friends show up when you call? Is it how spiritual you appear to be, how many books you've read, how many retreats you've attended? Is it how much you serve humanity, or whether you serve at all? We spend most of a lifetime answering that question with the wrong list. Not because the list is evil, health matters, relationshi


The Beginning
"Tell us how our end will be." If you haven't noticed yet, things are changing in the world. And they will continue to change. You are witnessing the likes of something manifest that the world has yet to experience. The question is not whether change is coming. The question is: will you change as a result of the world, or before it? Most people will rationalize what they're seeing on the news or in their communities. They'll say something to the effect of: "Change always happ


The Excuse
The intellectual block keeping you from love. In my life review, there was one thing that was unmistakable and it may surprise you. There were no excuses. Not one. Not for anything. But it wasn't “judgement” that I felt during the life review. It was something else. It was unconditional love, but it was also truth. And the truth is, simply, that during the existence that had led to that review, all of the excuses created and used in that life were meaningless. They never matt


The Darkness
The Hidden Force Keeping You From The Light. This post has been a long time coming. For the most part I have avoided answering direct questions about this topic for quite some time as I was waiting for the green light before approaching it. And now, here we are. This will move some of you to look at things differently. Others have already seen. And some of you will feel a squirm because of it. As you read this, try and remember that you are love. The Opposition You know the v


Have You Served Humanity Today?
The difference between feeling love and being it. What have you done today to serve humanity? It's a trick question. The truth is you serve whether you are conscious of service to others or not. This is what I was shown on the other side. You serve everyone, every moment, simply by breathing. That's right. Your next breath is already an act of service. The fact that you exist here at all serves. Service is the baseline condition of being alive. Let that simmer for a moment. T


The Human Anchor
What’s keeping you from enlightenment. The closer you get to complete spiritual understanding, the less you can stay attached to certain things in your life. For example: who you are, and the roles you play. Even the things that have quietly supported your identity for years. This is the part no one wants to talk about regarding "The Path”. You want the knowledge. You want the access to something divine, something greater than yourself. But almost without exception, you want


Suffering
The tool of the divine. If you are reading this, you have suffered. You have suffered physically, mentally, and spiritually because to exist here in reality is to suffer. It isn’t a malfunction in the design. It is the design. That sentence is where most people get stuck. It is also where most spiritual teaching gets dishonest. When we see or experience suffering, we want the suffering to be an accident, a glitch in the world or our lives, or something a more evolved and ben


Orbs of Light
For those ready to see. I recently returned from a trip to Los Angeles, where I gave a talk. And once again, remarkably, they were there. In the hotel room the night before. In the car on the way. And in the room where I spoke. One of them appearing just above a woman's head as she asked me a question about her spiritual path. A basketball sized point of divine bluish-white light that brightened, held, and then was simply gone by the time anyone else could look. I don't ofte


People
Recognizing you in them. People have been people-ing since the beginning of time itself. People behave, act, move, muse, do, and reach for things and outcomes in life based on categories and motives which drive the action. Good people, bad people, smart people, sad people, happy people. The definitions and categories change, but the human animal generally does not. What does it really mean to be a person in the world, or "one of the people"? The Actions of Others Most people


Vulnerability
The dance between selflessness and protection. Most people live in fear. They fear success. Or failure. Or harm, injury, death, etc. These fears are real, but they are not the deepest one. The deepest fear is selflessness. It makes sense. Selflessness is the loss of identity and its protective measures. However, these are the exact things standing in the way of the deepest form of love, consideration, and service. So the fear of it is really a fear of love itself, or more pr


Joy
The gift you've been trained to overlook. I recently had an experience in the high desert in Utah and one of the messages I left with is: Joy is not optional for the spiritually activated. It is mandatory. And I see many spiritualists leave behind what they thought was “joy” to live a rather cardboard tasting life in the name of deep connection. But what I was shown runs contrary to that practice. Recognizing Joy When I speak of joy I am not referring to the joy you have bee


God Is Too Small A Word
Why our definition limits our experience with "It". I've spent the last few days teaching amongst the beauty in Sedona, Arizona. The landscape is unlike anywhere else I've been. Red rock that seems to hold light instead of just reflecting it. And yet what struck me more than the rock was the people. The ones who showed up to sit with me, to ask hard questions, to sit in silence afterward. There was a vastness in them too. A beauty that doesn't reduce to a single word. That's
