Several years ago, this question was posed in an interactive class that began a lively and penetrating discussion. What really happens to a vision or a dream or an intention that we have that we don’t complete? Does the dream die or does the dreamer die? We are spiritual beings having a temporary experience in […]

Words and what they mean to you drive your life.  The world that we find ourselves in has been created by the spoken word.  Everything is an idea that comes into form by someone explaining their ideas in words that are than converted into the visual form that someone saw in the idea. John 1:1 […]

This simple statement is the “Golden Key to prayer” as shared by Emmet Fox, a new thought teacher, published in a little booklet in 1931, that has changed peoples lives for years. I believe this simple process characterizes the Mother Nature of God in Its fullest. A mother’s nature is to love, support, encourage, nurture, […]
