Who/What Guides the Flow of Life?
We talk about life energy but what is it. Charles Fillmore, in “The Dynamics of Living”, defines life energy as “The pure life of God that flows into mans consciousness through the spiritual body idea.” This idea is the acceptance that we are each a holy child of divinity, complete and whole just as we […]
There are No Answers to What Has Occurred
The only thing I can do is include the wonderful prayer from St. Frances of Assisi. Look at the power of love expressed in this beautiful prayer. This is not a group prayer. This is an individual prayer from each of us asking for the release of forgiveness where there is none and peace where […]

These are some of the fruits of the Spirit and the ego as shared in the 5th chapter of Paul’s letter to the Galatians.

Accepting What Is as It Is
Learning to accept things in our lives as they are is the first step toward changing things. What is, is. I cannot really change things until I accept what has been created and forgive myself and others that had a hand in creating what is. Jesus tells us in Matt. 7:1, Judge not that you […]

This is the last phrase in the song written and sung by Eben Ahbez that was titled “Nature Boy”. It is a haunting and riveting song that came out of the hippie groups that flourished in the 1950’s and 1960’s and epitomizes the spiritual ideas that we are studying in our path back to a […]
