Living In Alignment With Truth, Sunday Service

I open my entire being to the reality of God/Spirit/Life as that which I am. I live in alignment with my highest truth and know that I am a blessing to the world. And So It Is!

Summer: Where Everything is Wild and Free and Fleeting

Summer reminds us that it is a season.

The water is warm, the nights are long, everything feels soft and light, hot and bright. As a kid summer felt like a year in and of itself, as an adult summer feels like the blink of an eye.

How can summer feel so big and yet so fleeting? How do I get in alignment with it before it's gone and I find myself in line buying school supplies and musing about Halloween costumes?

Because if there is one thing that summer does well is that it reminds us that it is only a season and it will pass. 

This is the only "Summer of 2014" that we will ever have. 

At this month's Parent Forum with Pattie Mercado we discussed "GEMs." GEM stands for a "genuine encounter moment." Basically, it's what we live for as parents and as people. 

Those eternal moments in which we stop, connect and encounter. The moments when we feel truly alive and the world feels like it stopped for a moment, the moments of peace, the moments that take our breath away.

That afternoon after the Parent Forum I got a little "nudge from the universe" reminding me that gems can be found as close as the backyard and as soon as now.

"There is a story of a friend who took his family on multiple summer vacation getaways. At the end of the summer he asked his teenage son which of all the summer vacations he enjoyed most. The father learned from the reply, and was taken back to hear is son say 'The thing I liked best this summer was the night you and I laid on the lawn and looked at the stars and talked.'"

May your summer be filled with gems.

What is Your Sacred Work?

Finding your path to prosperity.

 My sister, Julie Pelligrino shared her insights about Prosperity Consciousness with us at the Parent Forum yesterday. (She is visiting from Gettysburg, PA, and was inspired to write this during her flight here.) Happy Reading!

We cannot experience Perfect Prosperity when we are living in a way which is out of alignment with our highest Self and our Soul purpose.

Work is a Sacred word. Job is not. When we begin to do our work (either at a job or outside a job) we will begin to see our prosperity manifest. The idea that there is a hidden belief or a wrong attitude creating our lack is the same as saying that all disease is caused by dis-ease.

It is true that stress, attitudes, and false beliefs manifest as illness, but it is also true that cancer can be a chosen part of the Soul's journey.Was Christ crucified? Was this due to a lack of union with the Divine on the part of his Spirit? Or as a demonstration of the lack of union for us?

We must be careful not to feel blame when we experience lack.

There is operating in some people a false belief, but for most, our lack is just a doorway, a sign on our path. If we were comfortably abundant, we would be comfortably numb. The purpose of incarnating in the physical form is to fully experience the Divine principles.

The Law of Compensation states that energy cannot by created or destroyed, but only transformed. What we put out comes back to us. If we put forth effort and think nothing is returning,  in truth, it is very likely we are putting forth effort in a state of lack. It we work to overcome lack, then it will only increase lack. Remember, what we focus expands. When we work to create Love, to give Love, to manifest Love, then Love, in all its abundant forms will be made manifest. The Law works both ways.

Our sacred work is to live the highest expression of ourselves; anything else brings lack, which is how lack acts as our Divine teacher.

"But what am I supposed to do?" we may ask.

Very few are so disconnected from Self and Spirit that they do not actually know the answer to that question. However, it is in the Knowing that we are called to express our Divinity that can be frightening... better to live in lack than express the highest. Knowing, as we do, that we challenge others to do the same.

All we need to do to know our work - our purpose - is to notice when we smile, 

which is when Life moves through us. 

We may need to go back to grammar school and recall the different feelings of cutting & pasting, simple addition, or a game of tether ball to find what made us smile. When we do, keep a smile journal.Those smiles are like lightening - they illuminate the darkness. Capture and record those moments.

Please open fully to the awareness that there are living, self-actualized saints among us, who have jobs as custodians and lunch ladies and CEOs. Those are their jobs, not their lives.

Our current system of trading time for money, and money for goods is shifting. We are beginning to open to the idea of our eternal, limitless divinity.

There is no time in God

There is no money in God

There is no stuff in God

Know this all that you need, or want, 

exists in the garden.

We return to the Garden when we align with our divinity.
We are created in the image of God, and we are limitless.
