CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA: Of course we may never know the real answer, but speculation could be that Kabbalah is a mystical and practical approach to evolution and growth.
Do You Really Want to Know the Truth?
Back in 1992, Jack Nicholson and Tom Cruise co-starred in a movie entitled A Few Good Men. The high point of the film, in my view, was a classic, heated exchange between their characters, during which Kaffee (the military attorney played by Cruise) says: “I want the truth,” and Col. Jessup (Nicholson) responds: “You can’t handle the truth.”
Can Moms Have a 'Quiet Time', Too?
Spending ‘Quiet Time’ with the Lord From the beginning of my Christian life as a new mom, I knew that I needed quiet time. Today’s new mom might think that term means time for the kids to be quiet and take a nap. Yippee! But it’s really a time for you to be quiet with God. It’s a time to spend alone with Him, to read His Word and share your heart with Him. It’s a time of spiritual refreshment so that you can be filled with grace and strength to do what you need to do in ...
De materialization #1
Come on now!? Really? This is going too far, you might say. Eastern philosophy tells us there are seven layers of manifest physicality and spirituality. The same laws that operate in one dimension operate in all dimensions according to the phrase 'As Above, So Below' that is credited to the Babylonian Hermes Trismegistus and the Magi. It is one of the three laws of the magi and if you study the cosmogony of the spheres and the beliefs of people like Shakespeare you'll see this ...
The Storms of Life
Life is full of ups and downs, trials, and tribulations. They are called the storms of life. Whether it’s losing a job, the end of relationship, death, divorce, financial problems, sickness, homelessness, peer pressure, etc…. everyone is going to have some type of storm that they must deal with. Take a moment and reflect on some of your life’s storms that you’ve already encountered. Think about the situation and how it affected you. How did it make you feel? What did you do about the ...

De Materialization #2
My lady Lydia was a Hawkins of the ancestry of the great privateer 'Black Jack' just as thousands of miles away in Ottawa (We met in Las Vegas.) a cousin of my sister-in-law who was about to come work for my family's company was living. They looked like twins and that was a powerful co-incidence of synchronous energy in itself. When I saw him I asked him if he was related to the privateer and he was amazed that I knew this. Our meeting was a 'trip' of grandiose ...
What is Enlightenment? Meaning Definition and Its Relation to Self Realization
What is Enlightenment? What do we really mean when we talk of Enlightenment? Is it not the bloom of life for a true seeker of spirituality? The life itself comes to a full circle the moment one reaches the stage of Enlightenment. Seeking Enlightenment in the present age (the metallic age aka Kali Yuga in Hinduism is more of a curiosity than the faint hope of being able to achieve it within the present lifetime. Truly speaking even spiritual stalwarts like Swami Vivekananda, ...
Starved Spirits, Sorrowful Souls
Give us today our daily bread. Matthew 6:11 (NIV) We can be intelligent, healthy, rich, and religious and it would be meaningless without bread. The most pious saint is still dependent on bread. So this prayer is an admission of a great need; the need for bread and it is all-inclusive. No man can eat intelligence. We cannot eat money; we cannot eat the Bible and survive. The implication in this prayer is clear: we are dependent creatures. We need something that ...

Will the World Really End on December 12, 2012?
I was recently asked how I interpreted the Mayan and Hopi predictions that the world, as we know it, will end on the 21st of December 2012. Would there be global war — possibly triggering a nuclear holocaust? Would the planet’s life forms finally succumb to the ecological quagmire that’s been building in our soils, oceans and atmosphere? Would the current steady increase of previously unknown diseases overcome our ability to defend against them? Or will we suddenly move into a new Golden Age ...
Simple
It was my intention to explain the word "simple," and by the time I put the thoughts into words it became more difficult. I am sometimes at odds with others when I say that something is simple, and I must remind them that I did not say easy, there is a big distinction between the two terms.

Learning the Secret of Contentment (Part 1)
I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength. Philippians 4:11-13 (NIV)
Why Isn't God Helping Me?
Have you ever felt like throwing up your arms and saying “I quit! I just can’t change! I thought when God came into my life things would get better, but they haven’t.” It doesn’t matter if you’re a new Christian or have been a Christian for a number of years, these feelings can creep in and set you up for confusion and frustration.
The Path Less Traded the Spiritual Road to Financial Abundance!
There is nothing more valuable to a sentient being then peace of mind that comes from living each day from a place of love. The alternative is an existence where perception is based on fear as taught to us by the ego. The ego teaches us that we are separate from one another; that grandiosity through competitiveness is the path to our greatness because scarcity of resources is the nature of our existence.
I Helped Exorcize a Spirit
Actually I have 'helped' exorcize spirits more than once but this particular one could have beeen taken by science to prove that exorcisms are not weird and do not need dogma or fear to be used with them.

Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son
Birth of a Nation: When you see hooded Klansmen walking up Pennsylvania Avenue to meet their Grand Wizard Woodrow Wilson you are witnessing the true nature of the American people’s participation in a ghastly power play against people even in their own country. How could any woman trust a man who would be so callous towards blacks? The Klansmen were also freely using black women for their pleasure and taking any number of laws into their own hands. We have seen this with the Houses in Texas and ...

Time Changes Spring Forward Or Fall Back!
In the game of billiards there are two things you want to avoid. First, never scratch (put the white ball in the pocket) you forfeit your turn. Second, if at all possible do not end up behind the eight ball. If you've ever been there you know it can be frustrating. The options you have are limited and the black ball has forced you to play its game not yours. In the "art of war" generals main objective of their mission is to keep the initiative, in other words always hold the advantage. ...

Life is like the Game of Golf
In the golfing world, yesterday may have been one of the most exciting and long awaited days in the sports history. "The Masters" golf tournament is the most prestigious championships in all of golf, but no more important than to the man that won it. As he walked up the eightieth fairway I couldn't help but wonder what was going through his mind. You see, Phil Mickelson was known as the best golfer in the world that never won a major championship. In forty-seven tries he placed in the ...
A Spiritual Book About MONEY
I say this with all honesty. You are the one that is loosing your freedoms to the ever-demanding systems of the world. For example, the new laws that are now coming into play worldwide are taking our preventative health measures away from us completely. There is a situation called CODEX that is a worldwide system, which the United states has become a member of in recent years. This CODEX has been taking away the availability to purchase vitamins in stores. They want to make very low-grade ...
Every Second Counts To Many Options May Cost You!
Yes, you have your priorities for the year and yes you are working on balancing the meaningful tasks verses the trivial, but what about the attitude that goes along with it? At the beginning it's easy to be motivated to spend time on areas that mean the most to us, yet what happens when the flame gets smaller and the fire that once burned has slowly lost it's glow? What happens when our attitude toward God has less dependence upon him and more on our attitude that we don't need ...
