What is it that keeps some from accepting the loving hand that has been offered? When will we realize our potential and begin to truly be free? Why do we run our lives in circles versus taking a more direct route home to God?

When you sing HU in loving prayer God can bless you with insights into these questions. The answers will bring more balance and harmony into your life. Read amazing stories of peoples experiences with the HU in “Testimonies of God’s Love”.

______

We recently adopted a rescued dog. She is about four years old with an uncertain history. It is apparent that she has had less than an ideal life. She can be very timid, lack self-confidence, and “startles” at unexpected events. We have been very patient with her, showing her much love and attention. Very slowly she is coming out of her “shell” and reacting positively to the love being offered.

Despite our best efforts there are still times she baffles us. We have never raised a hand to her, but as is the case with many dogs like this, she may flinch if we move too fast. We may go to show her affection and love, and she might withdraw and move away. At these times we may call her or attempt to move closer, but with every step we take to close the gap she may take one, two, or more steps away. As a Labrador Retriever she is bred for the water, but hiking through the woods revealed that she has never encountered small creeks or bodies of water. Despite wanting desperately to follow us, her uncertainty about something new, such as wading through shallow water, keeps her from taking the most direct path. She runs up and down the creek looking for narrow places where she may jump across without getting her feet wet.

Then there are the times when her fear and uncertainty disappear and she becomes the dog she was born to be. We see her full of joy as she runs around the yard playing with other dogs. Her potential emerges as she sets off running with abandon on a forest trail happy as any dog could be. We see the love in her as she turns and gallops full speed back to us after a whistle call. In these times we see her true self. Observing these inherent qualities manifest in her as she begins operating in the world as her true self opens our hearts, and we work to develop those qualities.

My heart opens with joy as I see her take those first tentative steps into the creek, crossing that unknown as quickly as she can. This leads to wading confidently up and down the creek and eventually to swimming as she explores new adventures. Noticing that she loves to follow deer tracks through the woods, we are working with her inborn scenting ability to follow tracks. Her anticipation and excitement grow as one of us will hold her as the other takes off running through the woods. Hiding hundreds of yards away over hills and behind trees is no deterrent as she follows the scent confidently and methodically. She will stay on track until we are discovered. We all react with joy at these reunions.

This four-legged creature is constantly reminding me of how we humans act in our relationship with the Divine. God loves us so very much, more than we could ever fully understand. God sees our full potential and knows intimately what we could become. God knows us better than we know ourselves and has His Hand out in love; His voice has been calling us home for a very long time. Our true nature is Soul. Soul is a Divine spark of God, created by God to express the Divine qualities that are inherent in us. We were created to experience and express truth, love, joy, and peace. The Divine qualities of wisdom and clarity are part of our true nature.

We hear God’s Voice calling us, but fear, uncertainty, or other distractions, keep us from drawing closer to God. When God reaches out a hand of love do we eagerly run toward the source to experience all that is being offered or do we hold back for some long forgotten reason? Instead of taking the direct path to God, do we act like our dog who runs up and down the bank of the stream looking for what we might consider to be a better way, resisting what is right before us?

God knows our true self better than we do. God hears every true prayer of our heart and has an open hand offering those Divine qualities that we know is in our heart of hearts. If we can see the potential in our pets and want to nurture and develop what is best for them, think how much more God can see in us and wants for us. At the Nature Awareness School our teacher, a true Prophet of God, teaches us to listen to that still small voice inside. We learn to draw close to God, to take hold of and accept His outstretched hand, and to stay on track and follow the direct path home to God.

I am Soul, Light and Sound of God

There are certain “Core Truths” we teach at our retreats. Not only are they taught, folks actually get to experience them. One of the most important of these truths is “You do not have a Soul” rather, “You are Soul.” This seemingly simple switch in perspective can set you free.

______

Many years ago, my father and spiritual teacher, the Prophet, shared a simple yet profound Divine truth with me and a class of students at the Nature Awareness School. He shared with the group that we are Soul that has a body. Not what we had commonly thought – that we are a human body that has a Soul. He went on to give an example that it would be like identifying with ourselves as our cars – not as the driver, the animator, on the inside. Our “cars” will wear out over time but the real “us” will carry on and can get new “cars” for the next leg of our spiritual journey.

This simple, yet profound truth lifted a veil of illusion and opened the doors for so many wonderful possibilities and opportunities. Hearing and knowing that we are Soul meant that we are eternal. We are a Divine spark of God. We are children of God, created out of the Light and Sound of God and our potential for spiritual freedom, growth, and love is infinite.

Our bodies are a gift from God, to be respected and cared for, but it is not who we are, nor does it limit our connection with the Divine. As Soul we can be taught by an inner and outer spiritual guide. Together with our guide we are free to explore God’s amazing inner worlds, the various Heavens, in dreams and contemplations.

In one such contemplation, after singing HU, I found myself as Soul with my spiritual guide on an inner plane. We were on the beach at a vast and beautiful ocean. The golden light from the sun was shining down on us – it was warm and comforting. It bathed us in waves of love, peace, joy, security, and more. It was the Divine Light of God. The freedom and boundlessness of experiencing a moment purely as Soul is something that was never possible in my human body. I was able to feel absolute stillness and activity all at once and an indescribable strength in experiencing the real me. I felt free from the weight of the world and loved by God beyond my wildest imagination.

Our true home as Soul is the Heart of God. Thinking about that reality consciously reminds me who I really am at my core and brings with it so much peace. I may have a challenging day at work but knowing that I am Soul and not alone keeps a “bigger picture” and the “eternal view” present in my mind and heart. The events in daily life are less able to consume me when kept in perspective. As Soul I know that God has prepared me with everything I will ever need for my spiritual journey.

When I heard my father say, “I am Soul” I knew what I was hearing was truth. Over many years and through many experiences the truth revealed that night has sunk in deeper and deeper. The Divine has blessed me with personal experiences that solidified the knowingness in my heart. Even still, I know there is so much more to discover regarding the truth that we are Soul.

Welcome to the Temple

There is only a thin veil between our reality and the other spiritual realms. Whether we are aware of it or not we are all journeying to more fully understand this truth. There is no greater way to do this than to experience it for yourself. For twenty-five years my father, the Prophet, has been helping people to do just that. Below is but one example.

______

The fog was so thick I could barely see the pine tree next to the large rock I sat on. I was at my first weekend spiritual retreat at the Nature Awareness School during the final “sit exercise” of the class. We were all allowed to find a spot outdoors to sit, sing HU, and then ask the Divine a simple prayer to “show me love.” There were many truths that Del, the Prophet, introduced in class that were so new and “out of the box” for me and that I was not yet ready to accept. Now, after nearly twenty years of countless experiences I have witnessed and personally experienced, his teachings are as self-evident to me as needing air to breathe or gravity, but back then they seemed alien and challenged my rigid yet fragile grasp of reality. The HU, that glorious love song to our Creator, was a spiritual tool that I immediately trusted on some deep level. It became and continues to be a steadying force through the calms and storms of life, and my compass, eternally pointing me to spiritual true north.

I sat on the rock that day, singing HU. I could not see any of the other students, though occasionally I could pick up the faint echoes of their HUs. Otherwise, I felt alone and secluded, much like I had my entire life. I awaited, unsure of what to expect next. I knew there was more, more out of this experience and more out of life, but felt clueless as to how to access whatever it was I was missing. I occasionally opened my eyes with my vision greeted only by the dense fog, which obscured nearly everything. Suddenly I was escorted out of my body and gently set down into what appeared to be a rotunda. I later came to know that I was at one of God’s Temples, accessible not by physical travel, but by spiritual travel as Soul. I saw Del here in this inner temple in a garment of stunning white.  There were others there as well, dressed similarly. They descended the stairs each smiling like they knew and were expecting me. Showered with the Love of God, I was grateful they made me feel so welcome. Accompanying this Light was music equally Divine. It was angelic and Heavenly. It softly played, coaxing my heart open wider and wider. I could not pinpoint Its source. It seemed to come from everywhere at once. It reverberated in my heart, both soothing and energizing me. I felt as if I had died and gone to Heaven!

I was so stunned by what had just happened I opened my physical eyes. The dense fog still hung lazily in the air. Not only could I see hardly anything, but the contrast between fog and temple was startling. In the cool dull mist that enveloped the world I knew to be “real,” I did not feel nearly as alive or real as I did in the temple. I opened and closed my eyes several more times. It was remarkable. I was not visualizing standing in the temple. I was not seeing it in my imagination or my mind’s eye. I was really there! In fact, the inversion was so strong it felt like I was standing in this temple “imagining” I was sitting in the fog on a large rock!

When I returned from the sit exercise, I eyed the others in class closely. Had they experienced this too? Was this normal? No one was freaking out. As they shared their experiences I do not recall anyone mentioning visiting a Temple of God. Yet I could say, by the Grace of God, I had truly been. It is so amazing how God knows exactly what we need. Those early steps we take on the path of love, where our minds have finally relaxed and our hearts are opening, are precious. God might greet some Souls with deep peace, or soothing grace, or incredible gentleness. For me it was a warm welcome in a place of unsurpassed beauty and truth where I felt like I truly belonged. How grateful I am to be allowed entry into a Temple of God. That first conscious visit cemented for me several things. I am welcome in God’s mansions, in His Temples. There is much, much more beyond what I see through the fog of life with my physical senses. And the simple spiritual tools that Del has shared with me have led to an incredible inner journey. More is out there and it is amazing!

I treasure this experience of nearly twenty years ago. Without it, how much love and life I might have missed! God loved me enough to give me the perfect experience for me that day. I was so full of questions and wanted to know more. It emboldened me to pursue a grand adventure of the heart and the courage to not discount what my heart knew to be true. Following my heart led to more classes and more experiences at the Nature Awareness School where many of my original questions – and beyond – have been answered. Maybe, like me, the sublime majesty of God’s Heavens has you peeking to see if the fog is still there. Perhaps there is something that rings true to you like the HU does for me. Something faithful and rock solid to hold onto as you work your way through the fog of life and a step closer to your eternal home.

Dad Helped Me From Heaven

Dads can shower their children with love in many ways. It may come as a smile, or pat on the back, words of encouragement or wisdom, quality time together, or in the following example – a reminder to check the oil in the lawn mower. The fact that the reminder came in a dream after the author’s father had passed demonstrates how this love transcends physical life.

______

While growing up I loved my dad dearly. He was loving, gracious, and had a good nature. He taught my brother and I many outdoor sports such as skiing, ice-skating, canoeing, sailing, archery, and shooting at cans with his .22 rifle. We spent many hours enjoying the outdoors with him and my mom, camping and doing many of those things that he taught us. As a teenager I would help him in his carpentry business by painting and staining wood trim. I enjoyed hanging out with him in his workshop while I helped him with projects and we talked about all sorts of things. After my brother went off to college we bought season passes at a ski slope nearby and we spent many hours skiing together. I was his precious little girl and I always knew that he loved me. I thought that he would always be there for me.

I was seventeen years old when my dad was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. The doctor told us that with radiation treatments he might live for another five years. Back then, in the 1970’s, no one talked with the patient about how serious their condition was or that they might die. But somehow he knew. Because we didn’t talk about it, we never got a chance to say goodbye. Two months after the diagnosis, even with the treatments, he was in the hospital dying, unable to communicate with us. During his time in the hospital he visited me in a dream. He was going up and down in an elevator. I saw him, though we didn’t speak. Somehow I knew that it was real and we were really together.

A few days after he died I planned to mow the lawn. He had given me a nice new bright yellow lawn mower about a year before, after the old one quit working. He even put on a miniature license plate with my name on it. A loving touch. That night I had a very clear dream. He came to remind me to check the oil in the lawnmower. The next day before starting up the mower I remembered the dream, so I checked the oil. The oil compartment was bone dry! Thanks dad for your help in a dream! Back then I didn’t know whom to thank for giving me the dream, but I was grateful for it.

Over twenty years later after getting married and having two children, I began going to the Nature Awareness School with my husband. I learned about the Prophet of the times and that he blesses us with dreams. One night I had a dream where I was told that I was now allowed to see my father. He appeared before me and I could see his facial features very clearly. He looked strong and healthy, like he was before he got sick. We hugged and hugged for a long time. He felt so real and so solid. It was so good to see him, to hug him, and to feel his love again. I felt such intense joy seeing him. I said that it had been twenty-two years since I last saw him. Gosh, twenty-two years! When we stopped hugging, he disappeared. What a gift that was! It was real. We were two Souls seeing each other again after almost twenty-two years. Thank you, Prophet!

And now, for the rest of the story. Several years after that dream I learned, through many awake dreams and a knowingness, that he had reincarnated into another body as someone with which I have a very close relationship. God has blessed us with being together again. Our love continues, beyond death and into life again!

Answering the Call of Spirit

Whether physically young or old you are first and foremost Soul, an eternal spiritual being here to learn more about love. None of the ups and downs of life will ever change this. This is also true of your neighbor, so find time to love one another. Listening with an open heart qualifies.

_____

Early one Sunday morning I drove to the store for an errand. Part way there I got a sudden nudge to turn the car immediately into another store. I only had about a two second window to decide whether to turn or not. Had I passed the turn I would probably have kept on going to my original destination, without giving it a second thought.

Throughout my years at the Nature Awareness School, I have learned to listen and trust these quiet, often subtle, tuggings at my heart. In the past I often let my agenda and my itinerary override input from the Divine. But time after time I had experienced and heard others who benefited from following an inner nudge. Spirit speaks to us continually to guide, protect, and to offer us opportunities to help others. I said, “Yes” without hesitating, accepting the adventure.

I went into the store, not knowing what to expect, but knowing there must be some reason to be here. An elderly man was handing out flyers by the door. We did not make eye contact, but I wondered if he was the reason for my nudge to enter the store. Not sure where to go from here, I stopped at the customer service area near the entrance and began to look over one of the weekly specials, listening for further guidance from the Prophet. I felt drawn to this man, feeling like there was an opportunity to interact with him, so I began walking towards him. I was not sure what I would say or how he would react. He must have felt it too, because he bridged the short distance between us and handed me a flyer. I greeted him and we began to chat.

It seemed like he had been waiting a long time to talk with someone. I wondered how many times I encountered other Souls without ever really acknowledged them, accepting what they offered with no further thought. Bypassing any of the usual introductions or social niceties, the man began to speak to me, Soul to Soul. I listened. His wife had died ten years ago, he told me, and he couldn’t afford to live off of social security. An inner nudge encouraged me to remain open to what he had to share. I had never met this man before but he shared with me as easily as if we had known one another for years. He had turned eighty-four last June and he’d been in this area since he was fourteen years old. He happily recalled working on a farm for six dollars a week and buying a new suit for only seven dollars. The time he recalled was such a different world. A strong survival instinct is one of Soul’s many qualities. This man had done what he needed to adapt. Still, there were challenges and struggles.

As he continued to share with me, he put his hand on my shoulder, pulling me closer to him as if he did not want to let go of the moment. He had tears in his eyes that he kept wiping away with a tissue in his other hand. I was not viewing him as the shell he had worn these many decades. Instead I heard and saw the glowing spark of God, which he truly is. He welcomed me to come visit him again. I left, feeling peaceful. The joy of following Spirit, of completing the adventure, left me feeling grateful for my encounter. I doubt the man remembered me after that, but I still think of him years later. It was a gift for me to meet this Soul who had heartbreaks and joys that punctuated the story of his life. Balancing survival in the physical world while growing in awareness of the boundless world of Spirit is the story of Soul. His story was beautiful and I was blessed to hear it.

I gained two insights, two pearls of wisdom from this experience. First, there is so much more to our, and others, experiences. How often do we stop at the surface when looking at life? When we take the time to leave our bubble of safety and comfort we can really see people for who they are, Soul. This is very doable in the everyday hustle and bustle of our busy lives when we remember to tune in and let that still small voice within guide us. Second, when we listen as Soul, we listen with more than our limited physical senses. Responding to these quiet calls of Spirit, we open the doorway for others to share their hearts.

Love Thyself

You are here on Earth to become more refined in your ability to give and receive love. Of the two, more seem to struggle with receiving, especially when it is from our self. Regardless of how you “feel,” the fact remains – you are worthy.

______

When I first came to the Nature Awareness School I was shy and self-conscious, full of anxiety and guilt, carrying a sadness around with me as my own. I felt unworthy of God’s Love based on a false mental view of myself. It took many experiences to break through this, to realize I was looking at myself from my mind, instead of viewing myself as Soul, my spiritual side, my true self. Slowly, I quit beating myself up as much and began accepting that I am worthy of God’s Love. I am not the mistakes I blew all out of proportion. I learned to forgive and love myself.

An inner experience at the Nature Awareness School, during a spiritual exercise, helped me to see this truth more clearly. Del, the Prophet, took me on a journey to a Temple of God. It was beautiful beyond description and filled with God’s Love. In the center, a beam of Light was shining on an open book on a pedestal, God’s Book. The Prophet encouraged me to read from it. I stepped into the beam and read “Love Thyself with all Thy Heart and Soul.”

I knew I could no longer beat myself up, or judge myself so harshly. I also realized that I could not truly love God until I could love It’s creation, me, Soul, a particle of It’s Holy Spirit. This is helping me accept a profound truth, “Soul exists because God loves It.” My existence, every breath, every moment of life, is a gift from God to be cherished.

I am grateful to the Prophet for being with me every step of the way on my journey of growth and discovery, for his guidance, protection, and truth. It is by accepting Prophet’s hand, and the relationship that followed, that has allowed me to move from a limited and miserable view of myself to the boundless one of Soul. Surrendering my old ways of thinking, many based on half-truths and falsehoods, gives me the freedom to pursue a life of abundance.

Light and Love at Vision Rock

Experiencing spiritual light is one of the most direct ways to connect with God and feel God’s Love. The Light of God comes in many forms and may be experienced in a dream or during the waking state. Either way, it is a profound blessing and one that still happens in this day and age.

______

How do I describe an experience that I had not consciously known in this lifetime, and that really has no words? I came to the Nature Awareness School for a Nature Awareness Weekend class but it was so much more than a weekend of learning nature skills. One of the activities we did that weekend was to take a nature hike that brought us to Vision Rock. Vision Rock is a rock ledge overlook with an incredible view. We were invited to go out on the rock, sit quietly, relax, and experience some quiet time. The day was overcast and cloudy so there really was not much of a view.

I closed my eyes and was saying a quiet prayer of gratitude when my inner vision was filled with light. This surprised me because I did not know what to make of it. I opened my eyes to see if the sun had come out but it had not and when I closed my eyes the inner light was still shining. I opened and closed my eyes a few more times and had the same experience. Not only was I experiencing God’s Light in my inner vision, but it was also touching my heart. I can not give specifics on what happened but something was opened and touched and I was changed. A river of tears came out. The Light of God had touched my Divine self – Soul. Soul recognized this sacred moment and was responding.

After attending the Nature Awareness School for a while I came to realize this was the Light of God I had experienced, and have continued to experience because of the teachings I have received. I have been graced with so many beautiful and amazing experiences since the Light and Love of God touched me twenty years ago. My life was changed and continues to change with greater peace, joy, and love in my heart and life. God and His Light and Love are still very active today. Beautiful and life changing experiences like those that are written in the Bible are still actively going on today to ordinary people. I am so grateful that I am blessed to have a teacher that can guide me on the inner and outer to recognize the blessings of God.

Flight Lessons for Soul

In dreams you can experience your true nature, Soul, an eternal spiritual being. The lessons you learn during inner travels in the dream worlds can carry into your waking life, making life in the physical an even greater joy.  -Enjoy

______

In this dream I was receiving flying lessons from an instructor along with a couple other students. I was seated on a wooden chair bottom and had a cushion wrapped around my back and under my arms. There was no plane or other flying apparatus, engine, wings or anything else you might expect needed to fly in the physical. I began going up and down by simply thinking about it and focusing on where I wanted to go. At first the scenes that went by were basic flat landscapes that did not require much maneuvering.

Then the scenes changed abruptly. I came to a huge drop off with a massive beautiful snow covered mountain range in front of me. At first I began to backup because it seemed too advanced for me and it scared me, but soon my instructor (who could communicate with me without talking) said to go ahead – I was ready and I could do this. “Just fly it like I taught you” he said. There was nothing visibly protecting me from falling out of the seat, but I knew that if I just flew as I was taught and not think of bad things, I would be okay. So I ventured forward and the depths and expanse opened up…it was awesome! Then it was time to come back to the ground. We were checking out someone’s back country property on the way down and having fun exploring. I thought it would take a while like when landing in an airplane, but it was almost immediate; and it was a smooth landing.

Even though I had this dream almost a year ago, it continues to teach and encourage me. This dream experience especially helps me when I am faced with a new or challenging situation or need some reassurance.  At those times I hear my teacher’s voice saying, “Just fly it like I taught you”, and I know he is right there with me. This dream was a real experience and it is evidence of the true nature of Soul. The inner worlds are an amazing, vast and adventurous place to explore. As Soul, I am not constrained or limited by things of the physical, I can “travel” and experience things just by thinking or shifting my focus (consciousness).

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 new book includes additional stories of visiting with loved ones. You can preview it HERE.

______

Losing my mother when I was 16 years old has been one of the biggest challenges in my life. I am so appreciative of my connection with God and my relationship with the Prophet because I know and trust with all of my heart that she is still alive and well as Soul. Our love connection is still as real and strong as it was when she was with me in the physical.

One of my personal waking dream symbols related to my mother is seeing a red cardinal. I noticed that when I was thinking about my mom or missing her I would notice 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 and it is always perfectly timed when I am sending her love.

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 to her that her body was gone forever but that she 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 room and she stood up from the bed and hugged me. I could feel her body and smell her, and knowing it was present day in the dream, I knew she should not really be there physically. 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 and those words meant so much to me. The timing of the dream and the motherly love and reassurance was perfect. It was a REAL experience and interaction with my mother as her true self, Soul, and it was such a blessing from God.

Reconnecting with a loved one who has passed on is such a healing moment. These are real experiences…  not “just a dream”. Read more incredible examples in “Testimonies of God’s Love.”

Love: My Heart’s Desire

Many overly identify with their earthly human side and forget they are Soul, a child of God. There is something truly special beneath all your physical struggles and mental hangups. You are not your shortcomings – you are not your defilements. You are Soul. At your core you want to serve God and will find the greatest happiness through giving and receiving love. Fortunately, the opportunities to do this are endless. -Enjoy

The HU sing we are hosting is going to be a great opportunity to raise up and connect with your eternal, spiritual side.

______

Many years ago I watched a friend bring her husband a cup of coffee while he was busy at work. It was a simple act, but profound in the lessons and insights it has brought me over the years. Back then, I had a very different perspective on this than I do today. At the time, I saw it as subservient; a duty expected of a woman by a man. I wondered why did not he get his own coffee. My view was coming from a low level, so condensed and narrow that it distorted everything, like wearing a pair of broken glasses. I had reduced something done out of love to a gender thing and, in my ignorance, could not see the beauty and selflessness demonstrated in this act.

I carried a lot of unhappiness and pain of the heart back then, because this way of living and experiencing life left little room for love, and it separated me from God and my own divine nature. We are so much more than male and female, skin color, religious affiliation, age or any other physical or social label. We are Soul! Eternal beings, created by God and endowed with divine qualities; and we are here to learn to give and receive love. From this view of Soul, a boundless expanse exists. When we open our hearts to God’s love, it lifts us to a higher view and a whole new world of unlimited possibility and love awaits. We begin to see the infinite ways love can be expressed and appreciate all the ways it may come back to us, even in something as seemingly small as a cup of coffee. The size and packaging of the love that’s delivered does not make it more or less significant. Love is love. Any act motivated by love, big or small, is special.

Divine love fills my heart and uplifts every aspect of my life today. It may come directly from an inner experience or through family and friends, work, laughter, pets, singing of birds, the sunrise… all life. And, it brings me joy being able to share this love with others. This is my heart’s true desire. I am happiest being in service to God and giving of myself whether it is through compassion or charity to a stranger, listening to a friend or spending quality time with family. Love is best when demonstrated.

God’s love, grace, and spiritual guidance through Del, a true Prophet of God, has helped me grow from seeing through “broken glasses” to having the clarity of Soul. This changed my life and is available to assist you in your spiritual journey too, if your heart desires.

You are a spiritual being on a journey home to the Heart of God. You have been created with certain attributes to help guide you during your travels. One of the greatest is the ability of Soul to recognize truth when it hears it. – Enjoy

______

Before I came to the Nature Awareness School I knew I was searching for a path to God, but I did not know I was also searching for truth. Even as a child, I knew that my parent’s church was not for me. I wanted more than to believe, I wanted to know, to experience God for myself.

There is truth that is greater than facts and far beyond opinions. Soul knows truth when it hears it, as the Voice of God sings beneath the words to touch the heart. At my first class at the Nature Awareness School, I heard in Del’s voice one of the key truths, that God loves me.

It was a survival skills class, but Del wove in spiritual teachings whenever there was interest and opportunity. This happened often throughout the week, but all I remember now is him saying “you are loved” over and over. When he spoke, it resonated in my heart like nothing I had ever heard in church. I felt my whole body vibrating with it at times. I’ve heard people say, “God loves you” countless times. Those who spoke or wrote it surely believed or at least hoped it was true. When Del spoke, I knew it was truth because he knew.

I have experienced God’s Love again and again. Over time as I accepted this truth and more, it became a foundation to build on. No matter what happens or how things appear, I know God loves me. To know from experience is a gift beyond measure. I have been blessed beyond my wildest dreams.

One needs spiritual nourishment as well as physical nourishment. How else will you be able to run the good race?

______

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.

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 vice versa. The choice of how you wish to view the world is no one else’s but yours. 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. The Prophet is 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 are not helpless.

One of the most important things you can do is to stay nourished by making time for your daily bread – your lifeline.

You must find time to connect with the Divine every day. You need consistent spiritual nourishment. 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 one of God’s holy names, 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….
