Friends, Gratitude, Journey of Life, Prayer Answered, Soul, Spiritual Guide

The hardships and loss we might experience while here on Earth can sometimes be our greatest teaching opportunities. They propel us to seek answers to life’s questions or to draw closer to God for comfort and understanding. This growth in wisdom and love are ours to keep way beyond a single lifetime.

JUNE 8TH ONE DAY RETREAT  “What is Spiritual Success?” DETAILS HERE

Over twenty years ago my “new best friend” Fran stepped up to the plate to be my maid of honor at my upcoming wedding. Fran was the kind of light filled Soul you just were drawn to and wanted to be around. She always had a positive outlook on life and shared everything with you. Her generosity and thoughtfulness of friendship and time was always so evident. She agreed without hesitation to be my maid of honor and said we would have fun together planning my wedding. I was so thrilled to have a friend like Fran; nothing deterred her from her loving task to assist me. About four months before my wedding Fran told me she was a breast cancer survivor and that she was presently in remission. It was no wonder she had such exuberance for life and thanked God all the time for this second chance at living it so fully.

Our plans together took shape over the months as we became close friends. I loved that she shared deep spiritual thoughts with me. We had discussions about her views concerning death. She told me she had taken care of her mother who died of cancer a few years earlier, and then ignored her own medical checkups after finding out she also had cancer.

It was two weeks before my wedding and I noticed Fran didn’t have the liveliness and energy she used to have. Fran confided that her cancer had metastasized. True to form, she swore she would be fine for the wedding and nothing would come between this happy day and her! True to her word, it was amazing to see how well she kept everything organized and on track, helping me with every detail. Fran thrived when she didn’t dwell on the medical concerns ahead of her. She looked absolutely radiant as my maid of honor and was so excited to wear a favorite dress that belonged to her mother.

Fran shared with me her many thoughts about life and what happens after we die. As her radiation and chemotherapy treatments progressed she said no matter what the outcome, she was fine as she had peace in her heart. She shared that her life had been worthwhile. She seemed to have an inner knowing that we are just passing through this life wearing these “earth suits,” and the real world was where ever God is and she was going there. She had a very rare acceptance of death and never expressed any fear. I admired this beautiful quality about her and learned much during our short friendship.

Nine months after the wedding had passed, I went to visit Fran at her father’s home. The treatments had stopped working and she was terminal. It was a beautiful May day and she asked me to take her outside in her wheelchair so she could feel the sun on her face and smell the freshness of spring. She was stunningly lovely and happy in this moment. She shared that she didn’t think the end would come this soon. Eight days later she passed peacefully away at home. That beautiful Soul left her pain filled body to soar home to God.

As her illness progressed, Fran had planned her funeral as a happy remembrance of her time with all of us. She even had the countenance to have a significant song played for all of her friends at her funeral. It was called “Forever Young,” and it carried a message for all of us to remember her by, and take to heart.

Some months had elapsed after Fran’s passing. My route home from work took me past the cemetery where Fran was buried. I thought of her often when I came to this part of my drive. One day I was thinking of her with much love and gratitude for all the many things I had learned from her. Just as I came upon the cemetery the song “Forever Young” came on the radio! I was so overwhelmed with love I had to pull the car over as the tears flowed. The Divine had heard the prayers in my heart as the loving memories flooded so dearly through me. What a precious gift! I know now this was an awake dream, a daytime spiritual experience. I shared my experience with my husband and he exclaimed the same experience had happened to him as he drove by the cemetery! We expressed how grateful we both were at this extraordinary gift!

There are times I’ve asked my inner guide and spiritual teacher Del, a Prophet of God, if I can see Fran in a dream and I’ve had various nighttime dreams with her. We are just hanging out being friends. Fran always appeared much younger, quite lovely, and as vital as ever. In one particular dream she was helping me with a relationship that had ended painfully for me. In the dream I was sitting on a couch with several other people watching a television show. The person who ended the relationship was lying across our laps. He was very heavy and I told Fran how angry I was. She and the other people looked at me questionably. I was struggling to get out from under his weight all the while talking to Fran. During our talk her loving demeanor helped change my attitude from one of hurt and anger to happy, positive, and free from the negative emotions I was holding. I had become free from all those negative emotions. A heavy weight had been lifted from me. I miss Fran dearly to this day but will always be grateful to have shared this lifetime with her.

A Dream Teaching on Real Freedom

Dreams, Prayer, Prophet, Psalms, Soul, Spiritual Freedom, Spiritual Travel, suffering, True Freedom

Some people ask “Why does God allow suffering?” It is however not that God allows suffering, it is that God allows us the freedom to make our own choices and our choices have consequences. This is a higher gift of love than taking away our freedom to keep us safe would be, for we learn from our choices – the good ones and the bad. This truth is hard to fully understand and accept if looked at through the lens of “we only live a single lifetime.”

One night I was home in my bed preparing for sleep after a week-long retreat at the Nature Awareness School. I began to sing two spiritually charged words, Prophet and HU. Before singing I had a soft intent to learn more about some topics we had discussed at classes this year. One of the topics was the law of unity, which allows one to see the big picture and the details of a situation; a higher view from many angles. I also hoped to learn more about how to allow myself to genuinely feel concern for others, which I do, without impinging on their free will or losing my peace because of their choices. I wanted to accept more of the freedom being offered to me as a student of the Prophet.

With this gentle intent I began to drift off to sleep. I awoke within a dream where I met the Prophet in a sort of in-between world. We were in a blank space together and I was encompassed in a dark blue light. I could see stars and galaxies all around us. Prophet extended his hands and I accepted them. We went on a journey through the many worlds of God. Del, in his Soul body, raised me up above the worlds of God and I could see the overview of a vastness that is inexplicable. There was no beginning or end to the spheres within spheres of galaxies and universes. I knew I was viewing as much as I could of God’s creation, the big picture. As soon as I could blink we were walking through a scene that felt like a sort of “hell.” It was a place where there was extreme poverty, grief, and oppression in the deepest sense. As we walked past these scenes I saw an abundant display of cruelty and ignorance, most too graphic to describe.

In one scene a father and mother were injecting themselves and their child with heroine. Some might wonder how God could allow this. A part of me wanted to stay here in this place and help these Souls, but how? A prayer entered my heart and I asked Prophet to extend whatever grace he could to these Souls. Whatever you can do for them, I pleaded. Just then a golden light flowed from the Prophet into my heart and out to those Souls. A sense of deep peace flowed into me and I knew that I could move on. I knew that I had to. It was not my place to stay there. They had been given whatever they needed and I had peace not knowing or needing to know what that was.

“God gives Soul freedom to choose what it wants to do. Free will is a gift and if we pray for others to do what we want them to do or what we think they should do we are violating their freedom,” said Prophet in his radiant majesty. As we continued through this nightmare I wished every Soul well. I prayed that they would realize the true dreams of their heart. I also surrendered the outcome of my prayers to Prophet. “Thy will be done, not mine.” Just then I heard the words “They too are loved by God, no less than these Souls.” The Prophet pointed and I looked.

Now we were in a very high plane or mansion of God. There was lightness and peace from everywhere I looked. A golden light surrounded us and we seemed to be in an ocean resort. Everyone was happy here. There were Souls serving other Souls and they seemed genuinely joyful to be able to serve others. This place looked like where people typically go on vacation to be served, but ironically the Souls here were servers. They were servants of God, the happiest of all Souls. This was such a drastic change from where we had just been. I wondered what the difference was between the Souls in the hellish place and the Souls here in what seemed to be a type of Heaven. An answer came, perhaps it was their choices. The Souls dwelling in the lower consciousness were making more self-indulgent choices and the ones dwelling in the higher consciousness were making more selfless choices. Choices had been made in prior lifetimes as well as this current one. The circumstances they were in were not random. There was Divine perfection to everything. I could see it. This gave me a profound sense of peace.

Each Soul had a syllabus and was learning and growing even though it appeared that some of the lessons were very harsh. These courses took place over many lifetimes and on many planes not just the physical. I was shown this big picture overview on what real freedom looks like in this dream experience. It was the opposite of what we are told here on Earth. Social etiquette for the most part teaches us to attain status and power so that we can have others wait on us. In my dream teaching with Prophet, the Souls serving God and His creation were the happiest and freest. They felt God’s Love the most and were able to pass it on. They were able to move about God’s many spheres of existence and were not overly attached to anything in any of the vast worlds.

When I woke up from this dream experience I thought of the Bible scripture Psalm 55:22 “cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you.” It doesn’t say don’t care, but rather cast your care to the Prophet of our times. In doing so, I did not become overly attached to saving the hurting Souls I saw. If I would have done that, I myself would have been trapped in that place. By consciously walking with Prophet and giving my prayers to him, I knew exactly what to do and what not to do. I wasn’t being asked to get involved. I knew my prayer was heard and answered. I could literally see the blessings I prayed for being offered. What I learned was that the Souls dwelling in the higher Heavens were not loved more than those in the lower worlds. They were each loved equally. The Souls dwelling in the higher planes had graduated to different lessons and experiences via their choices. I believe that my detached prayers, assuming the Prophet would know what was best, allowed me to stay above the fray but still be helpful. There was a balance. Helping others is about giving ourselves over to God through His Prophet so we can be used as Instruments for Him that uplift rather than getting pulled into situations by strong emotions and attachment to outcomes.

I still felt sadness for the Souls I encountered in the harsher lessons but I was not overcome by it. I could cast my care into the loving hands of the Prophet who knows Souls better than I do. There is emotional balance, joy, stability, peace, and freedom in that. I am a sensitive Soul. There was a time when I tried to numb myself to the sorrows of the world. That brought me unhappiness. My relationship with the Prophet gives me the freedom to feel for others without losing my balance or peace. I have better boundaries. I no longer hurt myself in order to help others. When I am genuinely moved for another I ask: “Prophet if there is something I can do, let me know how I can help. If not, whatever you can do for them, your will be done, not mine.” On this dream journey I learned that every Soul is heading back to the Heart of God eventually. There were many planes and certainly more than one lifetime per Soul. The world that looked like hell was not a fixed state. The Souls there would not be there indefinitely. Every Soul is loved by our Creator. None were alone. The Prophet’s presence, although unbeknownst to some of them, was there. Within the many mansions of God are His children learning and growing to one day accept His highest honor, servitude; The blessing of loving all life more than oneself. With this comes real freedom.

Opportunity of a Lifetime

Aspect of God, God's Grace, God's Love, Light of God, Nature Awareness School, Prophet, Soul

Many are content to squabble for scraps of God’s Love and teachings. Others are soaring free from the bounds of Earth to the very Abode of God Himself to receive the ultimate spiritual nourishment. There is no judgment here – it is what it is. In God’s perfect plan, and at the perfect time, everyone will eventually wake up and begin to yearn for more. They will begin craving to know more of God’s truths and ways and look for a guide to lead them Home. If your good fortune has brought you to the Prophet – step through the door before it closes.

In the fall of 2008 I moved to Virginia from Michigan. I moved to Virginia because I wanted to be closer to the Nature Awareness School. It is here that I experienced God’s Love and now realize that It has always been with me. I learned about my Divine nature as Soul. I learned about the sacred prayer, HU, and spiritual truths that have begun to slowly set me free of passions of the mind like anger and fear. Most important it was here I met Del, my spiritual guide, which has changed the course of my life.

I had recently been accepted to graduate school, but going there would mean I would not be as free to attend spiritual retreats at the Nature Awareness School. I had a dream, given to me by God, which helped me make the decision to move by showing me what was in my heart. In the dream I was asleep and was invited down to the school, but I took a detour and by the time I got there Del was gone. I was very upset that I had missed him. When I woke up I had a knowingness that gradually turned into a conviction that I needed to move closer. I did not want to miss out on the teachings or being with Del. There are windows of opportunity in life and this was mine. Del is the Prophet of our times, which means he can show the way home to the very Heart of God. It is a privilege to know him and be in his presence. I thank God that I was woken up spiritually allowing me to become a student and build a relationship with the Prophet.

In the summer of 2008 I was blessed to attend my first Reunion. This is an eight-day retreat in the mountains. It is a special week to focus on God and His Divine teachings of Light and Love. I was given an experience during the retreat that I will never forget. The line from Amazing Grace, “I once was lost, but now I am found,” means more to me now than ever. I was taken in full consciousness by the Prophet to the twelfth Heaven. This is sometimes called the Abode of God. I knelt in the sand on the edge of the ocean. I was told I could look up to see an aspect of God. Golden light, which was actually God loving me directly, blazed as I looked out across the dazzling water. Just then an eagle soared overhead. It swooped down and snagged a fish from the water. The majestic bird launched back in the air with the fish clutched in its talons. Then I became the eagle biting and tearing at the fish with excitement! Oh the joy to be able to fly! I felt the strength of the eagle and the freedom to be able to glide through the sky. At God’s Ocean there is the absolute best spiritual nourishment to be found and consumed. God’s Love nourished me like a fresh fish nourishing an eagle. I felt like a spiritual eagle soaring!

Before I met the Prophet I was in some ways like that fish, one of many Souls swimming in unison through life. Then the Prophet came and pulled me from my place and set my feet back upon the path of light and love. I was absorbed into the body of the Holy Spirit and made new by the Grace of God. Once I experienced Divine Love and myself as Soul there was no way I could go back to the old ways of life and be content. The fish is also a symbol of spiritual nourishment, which I found at the school. I was craving spiritual food and I still need it to thrive. It is as necessary as breathing.

As the eagle I was allowed to experience some of the attributes that God gives Soul: joy, strength, and freedom! We each have these and more God-given qualities, but swimming in our regular schools of life we are not often taught about the truth of Soul. I thank the Prophet for allowing me to become his spiritual student in this lifetime. I have learned what no earthly school could ever teach. I have been to Heaven! I have experienced God’s Love and His Light and Sound! I know that I am Soul and so are my loved ones and friends! I also know that God loves you just as dearly. Are you like an eagle, just waiting to stretch your wings?

Snowy Drive With the Divine

You are Soul, a spiritual being. You have the ability to directly receive guidance from God. You must first however, learn the “Language of the Divine.” With this loving guidance comes the peace and confidence that can get you through any challenge.

snowy_road_night-wallpaper-1280x1024

On the way home from work in mid February 2014 I received the news that my dad had passed away. Due to the impending major snowstorm the next day I needed to pack and get out of town as quickly as possible. I ended up leaving town just as the snow flurries began. According to the weather map and predictions once I got into West Virginia I would be out of the worst of the snow, as they were only expecting one to three inches. My plan was to get from Virginia through West Virginia and into Ohio, if possible, where it seemed to be all clear.

As I traveled west of Lexington, Virginia and towards the West Virginia border the snow was coming down quite heavily. Traffic slowed down to forty miles an hour. I got strong inner guidance from the Prophet to slow down and be safe… slow and steady. The snow came down thickly with the snow and ice staying on the interstate.

By the time I was getting close to Beckley, West Virginia, I was driving on snow and ice down to twenty-five miles an hour. Snow was piled everywhere, and it was cold enough that the salt was not melting the ice on the interstate. I talked with a state trooper about the road conditions and he said that although the toll road was not closed, he felt that it should be closed. He recommended I go back one exit and find a motel for the night. With that in mind, I worked my way slowly back to the interstate, and then got very strongly inside the knowingness that I needed to keep on going to Charleston, West Virginia, otherwise I would get stuck in Beckley. I listened and obeyed.

Next to no one was on the road as I wound my way through the mountainous passes in the midnight darkness, going no more than twenty five miles an hour. I felt the Presence of the Divine and knew I was completely in the Hands of God, and was being safely guided by the Prophet. I was totally fearless and had deep peace with an inner “oasis of tranquility.” It was an exquisite experience, being totally reliant on the guidance of the Divine, on the cutting edge of life with clear inner communication. In that moment of time there was nowhere else I wanted to be. I had everything I needed, resting in the Hands of God in that eternal moment of now. What a priceless gift and a template for everyday life, a guide for future situations.

Getting into Charleston around one hour past midnight it was still snowing. In the morning I sat down for my morning contemplation, a time of inner communication and connection with the Prophet and singing HU, a love song to God. After several minutes I received strong inner guidance to put on my clothes, pack the car, and leave immediately. For once I did not question or delay after doing “one more thing;” I just did it! And I am grateful for that inner guidance. Motel personnel told me that it was to continue snowing all day and that traffic was barely moving.

It ended up taking twenty-two hours on the road to my hometown in northern Indiana, and normally it takes eleven hours. I arrived safe and praising God. Since then I have often revisited that experience and savor the love, joy, and inner peace that I experienced being cradled and protected in the hands of God – while listening and being totally reliant on the impeccable guidance of the inner Prophet. He is always there beside me, in my heart, waiting for me to be receptive to the loving guidance and blessings.

Over the years I have learned that listening is much more than just hearing the Divine. I have had the tendency to hear guidance or see clues through night dreams and awake dreams, and then go ahead with what I wanted to do first – “just one more thing and then I respond…” I have found that responding in a timely manner to God’s timing is “really listening.” This experience has changed me at a very deep level.

Captain’s Chair

12 Tuesday Dec 2017

Captain, family, Mind, Parents, Prophet, Soul, top dog

God created us to live our lives from the higher dynamic viewpoint of Soul, not the lower rigid mental state. Until our mind is on board with this arrangement and takes a backseat to Soul, it will throw quite a fuss. No better is the difference between mind and Soul and the battle for top dog illustrated than in this testimony. 

Our family had just finished a delicious evening meal and was enjoying some quality time together in the living room. I had settled into my chair, put my feet up to relax after a day at work, and was enjoying watching our two-year-old daughter play. My wife and I began to share our day when our daughter got up from playing, came over, and told me to get up out of my chair.

I explained to her I was enjoying sitting in my chair. She then got very animated and put her hands under my legs trying her best to lift me out of my chair and said, “Up Daddy.” I firmly told her that this was my chair, and I was not moving. She then began to cry and throw a tantrum screaming “My chair Daddy.” My wife and I looked at each other with disbelief and a slight smile for this was an exceptional two-year-old moment, even for her, and not her normal behavior. I did not know why, but felt a strong urge to stay firm no matter what she did and stay sitting in my chair. I knew it was best for her. I proceeded to explain to her this was Daddy’s chair, but she could sit with me if she liked. She screamed louder, and the tears were running down both sides of her now-flushed red cheeks as she stood there crying and screaming over and over, “Get up Daddy, it is my chair, get up Daddy, it is my chair. Get up Daddy, it is my chair.” After about five minutes of this behavior there was no sign of letting up, so my wife took our daughter for a bath to calm her down.

This caught my attention for this was over the top behavior even for a two-year-old child. I was left with a sense of peace. I had a knowing that being firm in my attitude, that I was not going to get up no matter what, was best for all involved. Our daughter got her bath, calmed down, and we all went about our evening.

A few weeks later Prophet was helping me and a group of students understand more about our true nature as Soul. A smile came across my face as the memories of my daughter’s behavior a few weeks earlier came rushing into my consciousness. I was given the clarity to see how it tied into our conversation, and it reminded me of a spiritual truth that Del has taught me over the years. Soul belongs in charge of our mind and not the other way around. Soul belongs in the captain’s chair of our life. We are Soul, the spiritual adult in the relationship with the mind. It is much like the loving relationship between a parent and a child.

The mind, we call the “little-self,” is much like a two-year-old and was never designed to run our life. The mind is very limited and is the source of our frustrations, fears, anger, worries, self-doubts, vanity, attachments, and a variety of other ailments. It does not like change, gets overwhelmed, and is generally closed to ideas outside of itself. These are all traits of the mind but not of Soul. The mind is good at balancing our checkbooks and taking care of our daily tasks, but it is very limited when compared to the boundlessness of Soul.

Soul is creative, resilient, happy, peaceful, and cherishes freedom. It also has clarity, a can-do attitude, access to wisdom, and is generally open to new ideas. Soul has a higher spiritual consciousness than the mind, thus better equipped to run our lives. Soul is free to travel the Heavens, has a greater capacity to give and receive love, and Its potential for growth has no limits.

When we begin to be more spiritually nourished, Soul grows stronger in our life. We begin to make better choices and decisions that benefit us and those we love. Some of the things that help Soul grow stronger are singing HU, reading scriptures, paying attention to dreams, spending time with Prophet, and learning to recognize and be grateful for the blessings in life.

When Soul begins to get stronger the mind may start to protest. At first it feels threatened and does not want to give up sitting in the captain’s chair. The little-self has been used to being in charge of our life and has grown to like telling us how things should be. Initially the mind does not like the idea of Soul being in charge and will protest, yell, and scream, much like a two-year-old throwing tantrums to get its way. When Soul gains enough strength it takes charge of the mind and takes its rightful place in the captain’s chair of our life. This is what is best for us and what is best for our little-self.

Our true self, Soul, is designed by God to be in charge of the mind. Soul has a higher view of life, sees more clearly, and is receptive to God’s Love, truth, and guidance. As Soul we are more relaxed, peaceful, joyous, loving, wise, and creative. God actually created the mind to be subservient to Soul; an instrument to be used by Soul to achieve its purpose during its sojourn on planet Earth. This experience is a reminder to me that I want to live my life with Soul in charge of the little-self. That I want to nourish Soul daily and feed it the spiritual food it needs to grow stronger and stay strong, because this is my Divine nature — Soul. It is the true expression of myself as God created me.

Thank you Prophet for giving me this experience and for helping me manifest my Divine nature and the dreams of my heart.

A Child of God is Born

Child of God, Childbirth, Gratitude, Soul, Spiritual Light

Sometimes God pulls back a curtain allowing us to experience the spirituality of a situation. The following is a beautiful testimony of witnessing the sacredness of childbirth. It is at this moment that Soul enters the body and a new adventure begins.

Excerpt from “Prophet Shares God’s Light”

How grateful I am for my children, three gifts that God has bestowed upon my wife and I. What were once happy “additions” to the family are now integral parts that I would not want to imagine our lives without. Each of my children’s births was a precious and sacred moment, but it was the birth of my eldest child that gave me a glimpse into the Divinity that was clothed in each little bundle of joy.

The morning my oldest child was born, I stood in the delivery room experiencing all the nervousness and excitement of a first-time dad-to-be. My mind raced forwards and backwards as the moment crawled nearer and nearer.

Because I was at the front of the bed, ready to offer sips of water and cold washcloths to my wife, I could see everyone else in the room. Several people, including the doctor, head nurse, and various other nurses and assistants popped in and out. Time seemed to slow to a freeze and I watched, with this sort of detached viewpoint, a panorama of the other people there.

There was what I can only describe as a reverent anticipation bubbling up in the room. Everyone – it seemed like a lot more than the three or four individuals there – seemed riveted on this sacred moment. There was an overwhelming reverence for Soul permeating the air. A spark of God was about to don another body, take its knocks, learn its lessons, and continue on Its journey home to the Heart of God. I believe each person there, whether conscious of it or not, was recognizing Soul – the Divine spark about to be housed in a tiny little body – but also which lived in each other and in themselves. Each in his or her own way recognized that the source of this spark of life was God.

While my wife, the doctor, and several nurses prepared for the imminent birth, a young nursing assistant stood in the middle of the room unconsciously rocking back and forth, in a slow cadence to some distant rhythm only she could hear. She hugged herself instinctively, as if rocking an invisible baby in her arms. It was hard to say if she was imagining comforting the baby about to be born or herself. Maybe both.

When my son finally arrived, I moved into position to “catch” him. I witnessed a ball of glowing light so intense and brilliant it became hard to see anything else. I immediately recognized this Soul as someone I had loved dearly before. Watching Soul enter the body was breathtaking. The doctor and nurses helped guide his tiny body into my arms. I was holding him when he took his first breath in this body, before surrendering him to my wife’s welcoming embrace. The recognition between mother and son seemed apparent as well.

In my years at the Nature Awareness School, Del has repeatedly led me to experiences that have shown me there is so much more to us than just our bodies – much more than just the parts we can normally see. I believe I witnessed a glimpse of that in my son as he was being born, a glimpse into the Divine essence of our being which is born into this world to learn, to love, and to attempt to pick up the trail back to Its eternal Home.

Confident in My Decision

Dreams, family, Gratitude, Nature Awareness School, Soul

Our mind and emotions are part of who we are in this world, but they are not the eternal spiritual side of us. Soul is, and it is Soul that has a direct line of communication with the inner Prophet. This relationship brings us the clarity to make decisions we can have peace with instead of decisions solely based on emotions.

Excerpt from “Testimonies of God’s Love – Book 5”

My sister and I live several hundred miles from one another and seldom have the opportunity to spend time together as we once did. As a gift for my forty-ninth birthday she invited me to travel as her guest on a trip out West — a trip that would involve meeting one another at a connecting airport before traveling to our final destination. As much as the thought of having this time together appealed to me, I did not want to jump into it blindly.

An aspect of my spiritual education at the Nature Awareness School has taught me the importance of maintaining balance in all areas of my life, and that doing so goes hand in hand with living an abundant life. Few things threaten our balance more than allowing our emotions to dictate our decisions. And while the mind is a useful tool, Soul, our true Self, resides above the influence of both logic and feelings. From Its higher viewpoint better decisions can be made.

In addition to considering the impact on my home life, work, health, and finances, I looked to the inner Prophet for help in the decision-making process. The help I had asked for came to me in the form of a dream. In it I found myself in a brightly lit airport on one of the inner spiritual Heavens. I had just gotten off a plane when to my surprise, I spotted my sister seated in a waiting area up ahead. I looked forward with joyful anticipation to surprising her as I approached. Her face came alive with a beautiful smile as she stood to greet me. Our meeting was a happy one. The peace and clarity I awoke with left me with a knowingness in my heart it was okay to go. The decision turned out to be a sound one, and the trip full of blessings for each of us.

I have learned the basis for sound decisions ultimately rests on whether we have peace in our heart. A true Prophet of God has the unique ability, through dreams, contemplation, and other forms of inner communication, to show us the truth in our own heart from the viewpoint of Soul.

Prayers of Our Heart

God blesses us with the insights to live a life with less regret, but won’t force us to follow the guidance. It’s up to us to implement it and to do it in a timely manner. This story also shows how a loving God can provide another chance at a missed opportunity.

Excerpt from “Testimonies of God’s Love – Book 4”

cruise_ship_deck_sunset-wallpaper-1920x1080

My father’s health had been declining and within a short time period was failing rapidly. I had been in contact with him a few days prior and during that time his lucidness and comprehension of the current date and time were off. Also, he was not being an easy patient to take care of for his wife, my stepmom. My father had been challenged through life with some mental instability and depression. From my view his day-to-day life was filled with fear and worry. His first marriage to my mother was not filled with much peace or love that I could see. I did see that in his current marriage there was love and happiness, but due to his mental challenges those times were fleeting. Worry and fear were more constant companions, from my experience and observation. I feel true happiness and the experience of joy were never really known by him. I held a prayer in my heart from an early age that my father would have love in his life, and as I got older the prayer also included the wish for him to experience peace and joy.

I lived five hours away so the phone was our primary line of communication. I had a nudge one night to call, but it was late and I was tired so I decided to call the next day. I had been taught by my teacher, the Prophet, about the importance of following our nudges within the window of time we receive them because they are communication from the Divine. In this case I did not listen. When I called the next day and talked to my stepmom, I found out they had sedated him and were continuing to do so for his safety and comfort. He was now in hospice care, and I recognized I had most likely lost the opportunity to speak with him one last time. I wanted to tell him I loved him, and God loved him. I wanted to assure and comfort him about the transition of life he was going through, and tell him there was nothing to fear. In addition, I was holding a little guilt about the last conversation with him; I had not been as kind with him as I could have been and wanted to apologize.

I have been taught and know to be true, we are never alone; Prophet is always with us. After I got off the phone I immediately went to Prophet on the inner and apologized for not following my nudge to call the night before. I said a prayer of gratitude for his love and his care of my dad and stepmom as they were going through this challenge. I was singing HU, a love song to God, and immediately found myself spiritually in a room with my father who was resting comfortably in a bed and was fine. There were other Souls present, some I recognized as family members who had passed on and others I did not know, but their presence was comforting, and there was gentle light in the room.

My dad saw me and his face lit up; with me was Prophet, another spiritual teacher, and Jesus. He looked at me and said, “You know Jesus?” I said, “I did” and introduced Prophet and the other teacher to him. They greeted my dad and then left us to visit together. I had the opportunity to say the things I had wished to say and to hold his hand. After some time had passed it was time for me to go. I knew without a doubt my dad was being cared for and comforted, and we had our chance to say the things in our hearts. Even though his physical body was dying, he as Soul was alive and well. We were both gifted with the prayers in our hearts being answered. We both had one more opportunity to express love and caring to each other. What a huge gift to us both.

Within the week he passed on. Through the experience of my dad’s passing, I will testify that the transition of leaving one’s physical body when dying can be a comfortable and peaceful one. I was at a class at the Nature Awareness School when my dad passed. The night before his passing, in contemplation, I saw my dad in a wheelchair being pushed by Prophet and the other spiritual teacher. My dad had a warm blue blanket wrapped around him. He waved and smiled, and I could feel he was at peace and happy. The color blue and the blanket indicated to me Prophet was caring for him during this transition. The color blue is a color Prophet uses as an indication of his presence.

The next morning a friend at class shared she had a dream about a man in a wheelchair being wheeled onto a cruise ship, and she could hear his laughter. I knew that was my dad she saw, and he was being gifted with a joyful experience. You might wonder why she had that dream and not me. She is a dear friend and Prophet gave her the dream to validate my experiences in case I had any seeds of doubt. The Prophet is with all of us. He hears the prayers of our heart, and my prayer for my dad was for him to experience peace and joy. Through my relationship with Prophet and in singing HU, I have been gifted with multiple blessings. From these inner experiences I know that we are loved, cared for, and the prayers of our hearts are answered in God’s time. They are gifts of His Grace.

Gratitude Transformed My Day

Gratitude, Home Improvement, HU song, Love, Prophet, Soul

If you feel your heart closing for any reason, making the conscious choice to take a moment, sing HU, and focus on gratitude can help open it back up. This is no small thing. Your day will be fundamentally different if your heart is open versus closed. God speaks to and delivers His blessings to an open heart.

Excerpt from “Testimonies of God’s Love – Book 4.”  AVAILABLE NOW

deer_woods-wallpaper-1280x1024

One recent morning I made a special effort to get out of the house early. I planned to stop at a large home improvement center on the way to work. I love to walk the long aisles of lumber and hardware, happily imagining all the things I could build with them. I see not just stacks of lumber, but future sheds and snug homes for my animals. I also see other projects to enrich the lives of my wife Diane and me. My intention that morning was to check out aluminum fascia and soffit for a project I had in mind. I had about fifteen minutes or so to spend in the store.

I was greeted by a friendly store employee who directed me to the aisle where he thought I would find the aluminum soffit and fascia. There I found the same products in vinyl but not aluminum. I spent about ten minutes fruitlessly searching for either the aluminum or someone else to help me. I was aware time was running out and felt some irritation creep in, it was about time to go on to work. On the way out I encountered the same helpful man who had originally sent me to the wrong location. He still wanted to help. Although skeptical, I decided to give it one more try. I followed him to another location where he thought we might find the aluminum. It was not there either, but we did encounter another employee who informed us the aluminum I sought was only available by special order. I thanked the first man who had twice tried to help me, wished him a good day, and left for work. I knew it would be tight, time-wise.

As I drove to work I was aware that I was a little irritated over the lost time. I did not want to arrive at the school where I work under the influence of irritation. I chose to sing HU, a love song to God, to improve my mood and perspective. I also played a CD of a large group of students singing HU at the Nature Awareness School. At the beginning of the CD Del Hall, God’s Prophet, suggests we think of something for which we are grateful. This would open our hearts to better express our love for God when singing HU. He reminds us “Gratitude is the secret of love.” Del has taught me to sing HU and practice gratitude. He has shown me to see and appreciate how these and other spiritual teachings transform lives. My life is richer and happier for it.

Hearing the physical voice of Prophet, God’s distributor of blessings and grace, triggered a wave of gratitude for the countless blessings in my life. Hearing HU opened my heart more and more as the song continued. Each remembered blessing was connected to still more blessings. I thought of my growing love and appreciation for Prophet. I savored the love of my family, friends, and pets. I was on my way to my new job. The job is literally an answer to a prayer to work in just that school. I gratefully considered the attitude of gratitude that sweetens my life. Gratitude transforms day, upon day, upon day; a result and gift from Del’s teachings. So Del’s seemingly simple, yet very profound, suggestion to think of something I was grateful for released a cascade of remembered blessings. My earlier irritation was gone. I felt a sense of joy and gratitude for the day I was about to experience. I could not wait to get to school and see the kids and teachers.

Blessings were everywhere I looked. As I drove I saw more clearly the beauty of nearby farms and distant mountains. I took notice of the horses and cows in the pastures and the mist on the hazy mountains. I actually arrived at school a few minutes early since I sailed through several intersections on green lights, something else to be grateful for. I gave further thanks for my relocation to Virginia. I arrived at work with a lighter step and a smile on my face. Gratitude made a profound difference in my interactions with others that day. Through the attitude of gratitude I experienced each moment as a gift to be savored. I saw each person I encountered as a fellow Soul on their own life adventure. A few moments of gratitude transformed my whole day. This ongoing gift of living with a sense of gratitude is changing my entire life. Gratitude allows me to see God’s blessings more clearly and for what they are, gifts from our loving Heavenly Father. I know I am blessed with a life of lasting abundance.

More Freedom Less Worry

Dreams, family, Gratitude, HU song, Prophet, Soul

When we are overly attached to the decisions our loved ones make it becomes harder to love them purely. They are a child of God first and as such they will never be on their own. Learning to love them in a relaxed peaceful way will help you savor the love connection.

newborn_baby_sailor-wallpaper-1920x1080

It came as an unexpected surprise when my adult daughter decided to attend a HU Sing during her impromptu visit with us one weekend. Two weeks prior, before any of us were aware she’d be visiting, the Prophet — my spiritual teacher and inner guide — appeared to me in what I can now say was a prophetic dream. In this dream, he explained that my daughter had contacted him about an upcoming class, indicating in some way that she wanted to surprise me. It wasn’t long before she did! Two weeks later we were seated at a HU Sing together.

I feel fortunate to have been among those in attendance that day. Sharing the experience with my daughter made it that much more special. The moment I closed my eyes and began singing HU, I saw her as a baby securely cradled in the arms of the Divine. I recognized her as Soul—a beautiful, glowing bundle of Light and Sound. My heart overflowed with an overwhelming sense of gratitude. Different moments from her life began to play out after that, allowing me to experience each one from the perspective of knowing that the Presence of God has always been with her and always will be. A higher truth was evident: Although she is my daughter in this lifetime, she belongs to God and has always been in the loving arms of her Heavenly Father. The peace and trust I felt in this moment can hardly be put into words. Being totally in the moment, aware of the Presence of God, I experienced detachment from worldly concerns of every kind. Divine love filled my heart and I felt free; free to simply love.

Prophet took me on a personal journey into the higher worlds and it changed me. The experience was tailor made to bring me peace, trust, and a greater understanding of love, as it is in Heaven. Through this experience I was able to recognize my two grown children as adults, which has positively affected how I interact with them. I am less emotionally attached to their decisions and free of the expectations I once carried of being invited to weigh in on their decisions. I now have room to enjoy their presence and relate to them as treasured friends; precious Souls I am blessed to share this life with as we each make our way home to God.

It is a profound gift to savor the experiences of life together, unfettered by the emotional entanglements I once mistook for love. I am grateful to the Prophet for showing me a higher, purer way to love. One that allows me to care in a relaxed and peaceful way.

My First Glimpse of Soul

Light of God, Prophet, Soul

Our true identity as Soul is hidden behind our earthly packaging and its shortcomings. We are so much more than our physical body and mind; we are Soul, eternal spiritual beings created out of the Light and Love of God. Being able to accept and live this truth is a cornerstone to spiritual freedom. It is one of the first things Prophet teaches and helps his students experience for themselves.

sunshine_6-wallpaper-1920x1080

The first time I visually saw my true and eternal self, Soul, I was surprised. In my ignorance I thought I knew what Soul would look like. I was at a special week long retreat at the Nature Awareness School. In a contemplation led by Del Hall III, I was taken by the Prophet of that time out of my body spiritually. The contemplation was an active experience where I was allowed to see and know real truths, God truths.

It was pleasantly dark all around me; at least that was what I was aware of. I knew Prophet was by my side. I was given a special mirror that would show me what I looked like spiritually as Soul. I thought I would see a soft white orb of light. I spiritually raised the mirror up to “eye level” and looked. I saw a flash of dazzling, brilliant light. It was so vibrant! It was so much brighter than the glint off a diamond in the sun. In that instant I experienced some of my God given qualities of life, motion, and beauty all at once.

Prophet thank you so much for that first glimpse of the real me, Soul. It was so far removed from the angry, confused person I thought I was. I thank you Prophet for the truth that I can operate and see with Soul’s view point, a much higher and peaceful view of life. I do not have to live everyday in human consciousness of anger, fear, guilt, and unworthiness. I can now recognize and learn to live with love from a higher spiritual view!

I work in a hospital emergency department. Driving home from a long shift last week I was reveling in the remembrance of a discourse Del, the current Prophet, gave about the truth of Soul. As I drove I was in a sea of God’s Light and Sound. This Divine light and love flowed all around and Its beauty inspired a subtle and deep joy within my heart. I was filled with love. At that moment I was experiencing that as Soul I was an individualized part of this Light and Sound, the very essence of God. I was in appreciation in that moment that I know you Prophet, the one who speaks truth and shares Gods Living Word with Soul. It is such a privilege to know you Prophet and know the reality of God.

Motherly Love Just When I Needed It

A strong love connection has no limitations. It is above time and space and the end of physical life will not diminish this love. Even so, what a joyous reunion it is to see a loved one again, hear their words, and feel their embrace.

Our book “Visit Loved Ones In Heaven” includes additional stories of visiting with loved ones. You can preview it HERE.

BirdCardinalMale

Our lives are a collection of moments. Experiences and memories weave together to create the fabric of who we have become in the present. Our loved ones: family members, friends, and even pets play a huge role in our journey through life. The moments when we lose our loved ones can be some of the darkest in our story, but they do not have to be. The loss of a loved one is not the end of your love story!

My mother, Patricia, passed away on Mother’s Day in 1998. I was sixteen years old. My mother had been a part of almost every moment, experience, and memory that made up the fabric of my life. The thought of having to carry on and create new memories without her seemed overwhelming. Thank God for God! I have come to know that we are all in God’s Hands and that my love connection with my mother transcends our physical separation because she is still alive and well as Soul.

Thanks to God and His Prophet my mother and I have been blessed to share moments in dreams, awake dreams, and guided spiritual travels throughout the years since she passed. The timing is always perfect and just when I need motherly love and encouragement. One of my favorite awake dream symbols is seeing a red cardinal. I started to notice that when I was thinking about her or missing her I would see the flash of a red cardinal. The cardinal would usually land on a branch directly in my view and then once I got the message fly away. To me the bird represents the love connection that my mother and I still have even though she is no longer with me in the physical. Every time I see a red cardinal it is not an awake dream, some are just birds, but I know in my heart when it is a message.

I was also blessed with a very special night dream sixteen years after her death. I am a mother now, with my own family and children. One day while driving in the car, my daughter asked me if she would ever meet my mother in her body as I had known her. I explained that her body was gone forever but that my daughter could meet her as Soul or in a new body if she reincarnated. That same night I had a dream where my mom (in the form of her physical body as I remember her most) was sitting on the edge of my bed. I walked into my bedroom and she stood up from the bed and hugged me. I could feel her body and smell her. It was the same hug I had known and missed for so many years. In the dream I was conscious that it was present day and that she should not really be there physically and how special it was to be seeing her.

She told me that she was proud of the woman that I had become and the life, family, career, and home that I had created. Hearing her voice again was music to my ears. I was in high school when she passed away so her words, expressing that she approved of the choices I had made, were more than any daughter could hope to hear. It was a REAL experience and interaction and a true blessing from God. I am so grateful for the opportunity to reconnect spiritually with my mother. I am also thankful for the wisdom I have gained to cherish every moment I have with other loved ones while we are still together in the physical.

Changed by Visit to the Freedom Temple

God's Temples, Inner Travels, Light of God, Nature Awareness School, Prophet, Soul, Spiritual Guide

You are so much more than your temporal earthly body. You are an immortal spiritual being created out of the Light and Love of God. You are essentially a piece of the Holy Spirit individualized by lifetimes of experience. You have freedom, spiritual power, and a capacity to give and receive love beyond your wildest imagination. You need only find the one who can help awaken you to your true self.

Jobs-Peak

Having a relationship with the Prophet has changed my perspective on life. While Earth is a beautiful place to live, I have seen places where the Light of God is brighter, the Love of God seems to flow more freely, and Soul does not need a physical body to move about. In these other worlds, or Heavens, there are sacred temples where Soul can go to learn of God’s Love and wisdom. Each temple has a primary teacher. These teachers of God’s ways and truth were once God’s chosen Prophet here on Earth during their incarnations. Interestingly, my visits to these temples have been made while my physical body sat peacefully in Virginia.

In September of 2011 I was at the Nature Awareness School. We sang HU softly and I began to think of things I was grateful for. Del, the Prophet of our times, explained that Rami Nuri had invited us to spiritually visit God’s Holy temple called “The House of Liberation.” This is a sacred Temple of God where Rami Nuri is the teacher and guardian. I was taken there by the Prophet, Del, in what seemed like an instant. The Prophet and I stood outside. The temple was tall and cylindrical with a domed roof. It was beautiful to behold and built with the finest craftsmanship. The material it was made of glowed from within like it was made of light. I had never seen anything like this.

I entered the threshold and saw others were also gathered there to listen to Rami Nuri speak. To paraphrase, he said that the way to liberation is through love in service. Give all the love that you can and in doing so you will be granted riches beyond what you can imagine. By riches he was referring to spiritual wealth. These are the treasures that truly bless and can be kept beyond the grave. Treasures like love, peace, and wisdom. This really rang true to me. To become a conduit of God’s Love is not to be a martyr. As quickly as love is given to another God replenishes it.

After he had finished speaking I turned to see the Holy Book across the room. It appeared as an open book floating over a pedestal, which was also made of the same fine material as the temple. A beam of reflective light cascaded down over the living Word of God, this special Holy Book of living scripture. This light was part of what made the temple. It was alive and moved with purpose. This was unlike any light I was used to seeing on Earth. It was the Light of God! I stood before this sacred Holy Book. The Prophet held my hand. Our hands became a beautiful cup that looked like crystal but was made of light. We dipped the cup into the pages of the Holy Book which had become a pool of light. I drank the light. Prophet and I stepped into the beam of God’s Light and I breathed in deeply. I experienced Divine love while standing in the beam! I had everything I needed in that moment and I felt complete. I so much wanted to bring this love back to my daily life and to other Souls who also thirst for God.

I became aware of love pouring into places in and around me. These were invisible places, as if my very atoms were getting larger and able to hold more light. I kept breathing in this light. Prophet was inches from me now. He was made of light also. Part of him melted into me. Then we came apart. Still holding my hand, he left the beam first then turned to help me. I stepped out slowly. My first step out was so grand! This moment was a special one. I was different. I saw myself as Soul, my true self. I was made of light and I was wearing a garment that flowed around me. I did not walk. I floated. A part of me deep inside was stirred in such a way that I began to cry tears of joy.

This experience is one of many incredible spiritual journeys I have made with the Prophet. This particular experience continues to bless and teach me as I relive and contemplate on the many layers of meaning it holds. I thank you Prophet for taking me to the temple. Remembrance of this experience brings me strength. It sharpens my focus, warms me with appreciation, and reminds me of the Love of God that is present in my life.

Parable of the Honey Bee

Bees, Follow your Heart, Mind, Soul, Trust

Life is not about powering through mentally as you follow a formula, it is about learning how to trust and follow your heart. There is no one “right way” of doing things that fits everyone. All too often though, people fall into the trap of trying to “do it right” which brings stress and worry. Life is so much sweeter to live if you can just “bee right” with God and yourself.

busy_bee_2-wallpaper-1280x960

A honeybee buzzes along through a meadow on a warm summer morning and lights upon a flower. She gathers golden grains of pollen upon her legs and drinks deeply of the flower’s nectar. She stays until her work is done, then moves along to another. So simple, yet so wise.

Another bee enters the meadow but follows a wavering course. She seems to hesitate and change her mind as she flies along. Finally, she lands on a flower and gathers a few grains of pollen but then hesitates again. “Am I on the right flower? Should I be over there instead,” she wonders turning toward the goldenrod at the edge of the meadow. “Or there?” She starts to fly to a different flower, but then looks back to the first one, perhaps it was the right one after all. Finally, exhausted and confused, she heads home to the hive with only a few grains of pollen to show for her day.

Mindy Bee collapsed in her corner of the hive and breathed a sigh as she reviewed yet another frustrating day. “How does Soula do it?” she wondered. It seemed so effortless for her friend, but to Mindy, it seemed impossible. Just then Soula passed by humming a song to herself.

“Soula,” Mindy called. “I saw you in the field today and you seemed so confident. How do you always know which are the right flowers?” “Oh Mindy,” she said, “you don’t need to worry about that. Just be right instead of trying to do everything right.” Mindy thought about what Soula said all night.

For the next week Mindy watched Soula closely. She counted how many flowers Soula visited per trip, how long she danced in the hive, how many trips she made, and how far she flew for each trip. By the end of the week Mindy had a template for how she could be right like Soula. The next morning she flew out on a mission.

She flew the median distance and then visited an optimal number of flowers before heading back to the hive with the largest load of pollen she had ever collected that early in the morning. She danced the correct number of minutes before heading out for another load. At the end of the day she was exhausted but this time also had a feeling of accomplishment. She had achieved her goal. The next day she followed her template again, and then again. Each day she came home exhausted but the feeling of accomplishment was weaker each day until finally it was gone. She began to wonder if she had missed something.

Watching Soula dance Mindy noticed something she had missed before. Soula danced with joy. Now that she had seen it, Mindy began seeing joy in her other bee friends too, even when they were not dancing. Where had they found this joy?

That night when her friend came humming by Mindy stopped her again. “Soula, where did you find joy? Was it on a special flower? I tried to be right like you said, but I think I missed something.” “You’re still trying to do it right, Mindy. Relax. Enjoy the sun and the beauty of the flowers. Just go where your heart tells you,” Soula said. Mindy thought about that all night long.

She flew out the next morning not knowing what to do without her template. She stopped on the first flower she saw and all the old fears held at bay by her rules came back. What if she chose wrong?

“Trust yourself!” Soula called as she flew by. Perhaps that was what Mindy had missed all along. Though it felt as if she were flying off a cliff Mindy took a deep breath and began to fly. The sun warmed her wings and a gentle breeze carried her further down the field. Below there was a flower she liked and Mindy landed on it. She drank the sweetest nectar she ever tasted and gathered golden grains of pollen on her legs, but when she took off again she felt lighter than ever. She visited one flower after the other that called to her. Soon, she was humming her own tune and when she returned to the hive, she danced with joy.

God’s Healing Light

Often we are not even aware of the things that are holding us back spiritually. Fortunately God knows and if we receive the Light of God into our hearts It can gently remove the blocks and allow us to soar free. God’s Light truly has the power to cleanse, purify, and uplift Soul. It is a gift of love from God to experience It. – Enjoy

surfers-wallpaper-1152x864

It’s an amazing gift that God knows us far better than we even know ourselves. Sometimes we do not need to ask for a specific blessing from God. If we have trust in God and ask him for whatever he knows is in our best interest, the results can be far beyond anything we could have even thought to ask for.

Years ago during a spiritual retreat at the Nature Awareness School Prophet Del Hall led us in a guided spiritual exercise. During the spiritual experience an enormous wave of God’s whitish, golden light showered down on the group. God’s precious Light and Love filled my entire being. As it flowed through me it washed away things that were holding me back from living a more abundant life. This beautiful Light of God contained countless blessings that were custom tailored to each and every person receiving them. These blessings were a personal gift from God Himself, in His infinite knowing of what we each need, more than we could possibly even know ourselves.

I consciously surrendered to the Divine that I willingly gave up anything that was not beneficial to me. Anything that could be holding me back spiritually in life, I wanted gone. I saw little dark spots here and there being flushed out by God’s cleansing Light. They may have been old habit patterns or ways of thinking that no longer served me well. They may have been things like anger, lust, attachment, fear, or ego that were holding me back spiritually to some degree. They could have even been physical ailments. Without needing to know what exactly I was being cleansed of, I trusted God completely to purify me of what was no longer beneficial to me, and to leave what was good.

The roaring wave of God’s Light slowly turned into a gentle trickle of golden light attending to various parts of my being. I felt a sense of precision and gentle care as God’s Light washed away the negative things, and refilled those spots with His precious golden Light and Love. After this blessing and gift from God, I was left with an incredible feeling of freedom. I also felt a tremendous lightness, as the weight of these things that were holding me back were cleansed and washed away.

Often we hold on tightly to our imperfections. Even though we know they are holding us back, some part of us identifies with them and resists change. These imperfections are not part of the real us as Soul, a Divine child of God. If we trust completely, and give permission to God and His Prophet to help us grow and evolve to be able to live a life of fuller abundance, there is no limit to the amount of grace and blessings God can bestow upon us.

Over the fifteen years that I have been attending spiritual retreats at the Nature Awareness School, these blessings of healing and growth have occurred dozens and dozens of times. The cumulative effect of God’s Love and Grace is astounding. I can not even imagine what my life would be like today if it were not for the loving spiritual guidance of God’s Prophet and the precious love that God has given me. Thank you!

God constantly showers us with His Love. Often this love comes in the form of guidance, which at times can be very subtle. Learning how to trust those seemingly simple or random thoughts and feelings that come from God is key to living an abundant life.

Several inches of heavy, wet snow had fallen and the day shift employees were working in groups shoveling one another out of the parking lot. It was heart warming to look out and see the cooperation between workmates; a demonstration of love in action. After slowly making my way home, I realized that I would need to shovel the driveway off before parking the car. Also, when I glanced at my front porch I saw that the snow had drifted up against the front door three feet high. My work was cut out for me. I decided to park the car across the street, and then dig my way into my house to use the restroom and have a cup of coffee before tackling the snow. Furthermore, once the car was parked, it became apparent that it was stuck in deep slushy snow.

I removed enough snow so that I could get the front door to the house open, went inside, used the restroom, turned up the thermostat on the furnace, made some coffee and enjoyed it nuzzled in my favorite chair. After awaking from a short nap, it was time to get the car unstuck.

As it was, the tools that I had to get my car unstuck were a broom and my hands, since the small shovel which I kept in my auto for situations such as this got broken an hour before when I lent it to a co worker back in the parking lot. Also, the shed where I kept my full sized snow shovel was also barricaded by the drifted snow. In retrospect, it seems quite ironic that I carried that same little shovel in my vehicle every winter and never needed it for digging my car out until after it broke. I am grateful and certain that every detail was in place to teach me some valuable lessons of living.

I rocked the car, dug the tires out, and rocked some more. After surveying the tires, it was apparent that only one tire was keeping me stuck. It was spinning on ice while the other three made contact with the pavement. I had done all that I could. I calmed myself and gave in. Within an instant the Prophet spoke to my heart. “You have a coffee can of sand in your trunk.” The 13.5 oz of play sand had been gifted to me by a man from my work back a few months earlier, after we had a conversation about adding sand to paint to keep painted porch steps from being slippery when wet. In a gesture of kindness he brought me sand. It had turned too cold to paint so I placed it in my trunk. Oh my goodness, the can of sand had been in there since early fall and every time I used my trunk I would see it and get a strong sense to just leave it alone. I gratefully, joyfully, and carefully placed the sand in front and back of the tire. My heart overflowed with hope that the car was no longer stuck. I heard something and I looked toward my snow drifted driveway and there was a neighbor plowing out a space for me to park in. God’s Love worked through another Soul and blessed me by doing the heavy lifting!

One crucial insight that I received from the experience is that the my Divine connection, the Prophet of God, guided me throughout the situation. As I arrived at a place of calm surrender, as Soul I heard the whisper of Divine Love and protection, which led me away from sorrow, toward victory.

By the Grace of God, I am not alone!

Healing With My Grandmother

It is such a blessing when the Prophet raises us up spiritually so we may see things clearly as they really are. He can show us the truth about ourselves, our loved ones, and others in our life. We can then have more compassion and tolerance, thereby allowing us to love more freely. The truth truly does set us free.

When you are ready for even more truth in your life READ THESE.

One evening while attending a retreat at the Nature Awareness School, we sang HU as a group. Singing HU is a pure prayer to God. Our intent while singing this HU was to send love to bless others. Often when we stop thinking of ourselves and instead think of someone else, we end up being blessed many times over. This is exactly what happened!

While I was singing HU, I saw myself as Soul. I was a beautiful, golden sphere of light. I was in a car wash with the Light of God raining down on me. God’s Light was enveloping me in pink, orange, and blue light as it cleansed me. Next, I was cleansed and filled up with golden light. The color pink represents emotions and I felt that I was given the gift of an emotional healing, even though I was not yet clear on what it was. Gold light represents God’s Love for me. After I was healed, I was then filled with God’s pure Love.

Next during this experience Del, my teacher, said that someone else could get in the spiritual shower with us. I saw my grandmother with me, and then we were both surrounded by white light. During this experience, my grandmother looked so free, weightless, and excited in a childlike way. Her face was relaxed and lit up with happiness. In the physical, my grandmother can be grumpy and difficult to get along with at times. During this experience, I was able to witness Grandma as her true self, Soul. I was grateful to see this more real side of my grandmother instead of the rough exterior I see sometimes in the physical.

When I shared this experience in class it was pointed out to me that maybe my grandmother has a rough exterior to cover up fear, pain, and loneliness deep down. My grandmother was married two times and both of her husbands died of cancer. Grandma definitely misses them and I know she is lonely. Del pointed out many feelings that my grandmother may be experiencing that could cause her to not be the most pleasant person to be around. I had not considered this side before. This experience by the Grace of God has shown me a new way to view my grandmother. Instead of seeing just the outer, I have more clarity and empathy towards her. This has freed me from my own judgments and I am able to love Grandma more freely and on a deeper level.

This experience has shown me a different way to see my grandmother, but also that other people I come across in life may be going through difficult times which could cause them to act more prickly towards others. After this experience, I have been able to change my perspective and attitudes towards a few people in my life, as well as strangers I come across in stores, on the phone, at work, etc. I found that by not judging people based on their surface waves I am more free to treat them how I would like for them to treat me. It is easier to give solace and have compassion for others when I see them as Soul. Not only is this a gift for others, but it also allows me to live more freely.

Thank you Prophet for this valuable experience.

Daily Spiritual Bread

daily bread, Free Will, Journey of Life, Positive attitude, Soul, Spiritual Nourishment, Tune in

You do not “have” a soul – you ARE Soul….. you “have” a body. A subtle but monumentally different perspective and understanding. You are a spiritual being cloaked in a temporal “earth suit” which has an expiration date – so to say. But the real you, Soul, will carry on. You are Eternal.

daily bread

God has given you the power and free will to create a life of your choosing. A life sculpted daily by your choices and attitudes. How and what you think truly makes a difference. I cannot stress this enough – your present thoughts will manifest into future conditions. Everything in your consciousness is bound to come forth in your outer life. Those folks who have a positive outlook on life and try to always see the “silver lining” will indeed see it, if not help manifest it. A positive attitude will help to create a positive result, and the choice of how you wish to view the world is for no one else but you. You will reap what you sow – your actions, thoughts, and attitudes have power – sow gently, kindly, and wisely.

The freedom to think, dream, and create a life of your hearts desire does not mean you are alone. You most certainly are not. God’s Prophet is spiritually available to offer help at every step of the way – but ultimately you must walk your own path. If not you, who shall? If there is something in your life that is not working you have the ability to change it. There is a great responsibility and great freedom in this. Unfortunately, many seek to lay this blessing of freedom at the feet of others. Too many wish for others to tell them how to live versus following their own heart. Countless numbers who sacrifice personal freedom, their birthright as Soul, for comfort and a false security.

You are responsible for your own path and this includes asking for help. It might sound like double talk to some but asking for help and taking personal responsibility for your path are not opposites. The spiritually strong ask for help. They know the true strength is in “the team” …them and the Divine. There is nothing you cannot do if God is with you and you do your part. Granted – God does the “heavy lifting” but you are certainly not helpless.

One of the most important things you can do is to stay nourished by making time for your daily bread – your lifeline. Consistent spiritual nourishment is key to being able to hear those gentle whisperings from Spirit, which lead to an abundant life.

If you wish to stay spiritually nourished you must find time to connect with the Divine every day. Just as your physical body needs good healthy food to stay fit – so do you as a spiritual being, Soul. Your daily bread is your lifeline. Whether it be prayer, the reading of Scripture, focusing on something you are grateful for, connecting with your spiritual guide in contemplation, or the singing of God’s holy name, HU, you need spiritual food. Watch what happens if you don’t water a plant, or if you stop eating physical food. It’s no different spiritually – you will wither. Yes, you may still be breathing but are you truly alive? Do you have abundant life?

Life will always try to find a way to take your attention elsewhere so it is up to you, if it is in your heart, to stay connected. You can chisel out time in your day if it is important to you. Is it too much to ask for the Kingdom of Heaven here and now – a few moments a day to tune in?

Food for thought….

HERE is a great source of Daily Bread.

A Stranger’s Approach Was a God Send

God's Love, Gratitude, HU song, Soul

As a gift of love God can send someone into our life to remind us of what we hold most dear. This opportunity to more deeply appreciate the things in life we value is such a blessing. Especially when it is one of the most sacred things – the HU Song.

You can learn more about the HU song HERE.

red_lotus_resting_on_the_pond-wallpaper-1152x864

Did you ever have an interesting and out of the ordinary interaction with a stranger that left you asking yourself, “What was that all about?” and has actually stayed with you many years afterward?

One day in the year 2000 I had just that happen. I was in a grocery store that I had shopped many times and after shopping the produce department, I was standing in the center of the aisle near the meat section when I felt someone looking at me. I looked up and beyond and noticed an elderly woman with white straight hair and blue eyes pushing a shopping cart. She was heavy set and dressed in what appeared to be a house dress. It was very clear that she was coming toward me and it also seemed that the physical store and all the contents on the shelves along with the shelves themselves faded in the background, highlighting even more her approach.

When she arrived we stood facing one another and then she asked if I had any money. I pulled out my wallet and looked inside and saw that I had very little in my wallet that day, but I remembered that I did have something. I had a HU card, the most precious gift once given to me. HU is a prayer and a love song and when sung purely to God it helps to tune us into the stream of God’s unconditional Love. So I instinctively reached in and handed the card to her. I explained what was written on the card, what HU meant, and how precious HU is and has been for me personally in my life.

She received it and before I realized what was happening, she bent slightly over taking my hand into her own, and kissed the top of my hand as she was thanking me. She said that HU is worth a lot more than coins. I certainly was taken aback yet I realized that she as Soul, truly recognized and connected to the true, pure, and precious gift. When this amazing interaction was complete, the white lit room reshaped itself into its original form, as I viewed her walking away. Interestingly enough, I did not see her again throughout the store. I looked for her but she was gone.

And so, I was blessed that day because God sent one of His helpers to remind me what was truly important; my own connection with HU and the value I placed on it. Since that day, HU has become even more valuable to me, and I still today think of that lovely woman who helped open my eyes to better appreciate what was already true in my heart.

Child of God – Really

06 Friday Nov 2015

Heaven, HU song, Light of God, Nature Awareness School, Prophet, Soul

You are so much more than your temporal physical body. You are Soul, an eternal child of God, created out of the Light of God. Many find this hard to believe but nonetheless, it is true. Beneath our shortcomings as humans, we are spiritually perfect. The more you allow the Prophet to let you experience, know, and identify with your true self, Soul, the more the “earthly baggage” will lose its grip.

Experience your true self at one of our mountain-top retreats.

Child of God - really

We gathered at the Nature Awareness School, ready to sing HU. Del explained the HU and then said that you might know intellectually that you are a child of God, but not fully understand what exactly that means, how sacred, and special that really is. In time and with spiritual experience you may gain true understanding. I thought I knew what it meant to be a child of God, but wondered if I was about to learn more.

During the quiet time after singing HU, I flew rapidly through a narrow dim tunnel and came out at God’s Ocean. I recognized this as the twelfth Heaven, one of the very high Heavenly worlds. I was distinctly aware that I was Soul. Instead of a body, I was my true self, a ball of light. I sparkled with pure rays of white light. Within my light was nothing dark or negative. I knew intuitively that it would be impossible for anything negative to stick to Soul.

When I had exited the tunnel, I escaped the bodies that cover Soul and disguise the perfection of God’s creation. The disguise is so good that it even fools us. Anger, fear, worry, and their relations are not Soul. We are not our defilements or our mistakes. We are children of God, perfectly created with virtually limitless potential. As I looked out at the water I recognized sparkles in it made of the same light as me. God created Soul out of Itself, in Its image, Its own light. Yet I also recognized that God is much more than Soul could ever be, even if Soul’s potential was fully realized.

I was not alone. The Prophet brought me there and remained beside me. As a ball of light he embraced me, His Light enveloping mine. Within him, I felt closer to God, with all that God knows and sees at the Prophet’s fingertips. I cannot find my way home alone. I need a guide, the Prophet, to show me the way.

As I opened my eyes following the HU, the world looked different. I knew deeper than before that I am Soul, a child of God. Beneath my human coverings is Soul, my true self and yours. We are both, you and I, one of God’s glorious creations. Sing HU, look within, and ask the Prophet to show you your true self. A grand adventure awaits!
