Healing Prayer for the Gulf of Mexico

I send the energy of love and gratitude to the
water and all

the living creatures in the
Gulf of Mexico and its surroundings.

To the whales, dolphins, pelicans,
fish, shellfish, plankton,

coral, algae,
and all living creatures.

I am sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.

Distractions!

Have you ever been distracted and missed something important? I know I have. It’s easy to get distracted when you don’t know what to stay focused upon.

As a magician and I know the art of creating distractions…yet I can still be fooled when watching other magicians if I don’t focused upon what I know to look for. Hey I am just like the other guy…I enjoy experiencing the magic…so I allow myself to be distracted.

But when I get distracted and I don’t stay focused upon things in life that are really important then I am not happy. Today’s world is full of distraction and it is getting worse.

Everything from the economy, earthquakes, volcanoes, the weather, news media, oil spills, politics, the government, and wars...they are all a distraction to what is really important.

Your spiritual growth...your awakening are the most important thing in this moment and it always will be. It important that you discover and fulfill your purpose here and now.

You say, “But this is the world I live in...how can I NOT be distracted by these things?”

I say, “If you stay focused upon your physical world then you never understand what is going on in the spiritual world.”

Jesus spoke that in the last days there will be wars and rumors of war, killings, betrayal, false prophets, famines, pestilences and earthquakes in diverse places, most importantly that the love of many would grow cold. Matt. 24:12

Jesus said when you see these things know the end of this world was near, verse 33…therefore it is important that we focus upon the spiritual...NOT the physical happenings.

It is so easy to get distracted by appearance of chaos and fear...but Jesus gave warning so you would stay focused upon “Who you are” and not react to the events as they unfold. Instead hold on to your love, peace and joy for that is the Kingdom of God.

You focus must be upon your “Being” not the “Doing.” So don’t get all caught up in trying to fix things or worry about what will happen next...I know this sound crazy...it may sound ill-responsible. But if you get caught up in all the distractions you will not be spiritually responsible as Jesus revealed in the parable of the Ten Virgins, Matt. 25:1-13.

Your focus is to be upon your purpose and how you can best serve others using your gifts and strengths. Note what Jesus said in the parable of the talents: Matt. 25:15, the master gave talents…”each according to his own ability.” What is your ability? Don’t hide it…put it to use, bless others and be blessed.

Time & Place, Consciousness

This video explains why I have taken such an interest in the Mayan Calendar...

I am not saying I agree with everything you may have heard about the date 2012 and make note the movie was just a one person's idea...it was just a movie.

But I do encourage you to do your own research on the Mayan Calendar as you raise your consciousness to "What is" and what is to come. John 16:13

The world is on course...for you will see major changes within the next few years. If you have eyes to see you will already know what I am saying is true. Those of us who are awakened to the Spirit of God will experience the glory of what is to come....those who sleep will suffer greatly. Awake to righteousness and turn from sin...1 Cor. 15:34

Embrace the love of God and allow it to remove all fear. For God said, "Fear not for I am always with you..." Isaiah 41:10

The Persistence of FEAR

I have found....FEAR often shows up in our "relationships" with one another.

Fear is an illusion, a very persistent one...but it does not have to be your reality.

"There is no fear in love...perfect love casts out fear...." 1 John 4:18

“God has No Enemies!”

Can this be true? If God has no enemies then why does He not triumph over everything in this world....or does He?

The reason this is so confusing is….its all a part of the illusion of this world.

In the Kingdom of God there is no duality. In other words, there is no darkness only light. In the world you see both good and evil but in the Kingdom of God there no opposing power against God.

Its you who perceives the idea that God has His enemies. The truth is God has no enemies. Neither do you if you live in the Kingdom of God here on earth.

What is the Kingdom of God? How is it possible to live in the Kingdom and still be present here on earth?

Jesus said, “the Kingdom of God is within you!” Luke 17:21.

In Romans 14:17 it describes, “the Kingdom of God is…being right with God, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.”

So what is the Kingdom of God? It is a state of being….a state of consciousness…it is living in the truth. It is NOT a place in heaven some where far off. It is the power of God within you.

So does this mean you will not experience trouble while living in the world? Please understand the world its self is not evil but there are those who live in the world who choose to do harm for they have filled themselves with anger and hatred.

But if you choose to live within the power of God’s love you are no longer a victim of those who would cause you harm. This is why Jesus said, “I give you power over all your enemies and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” Luke 10:19. In the Kingdom of God there are no victims.

The only enemies you have are the ones you choose….but if you choose to allow the Spirit of God to change your heart you have no enemies. John 1:5 “The light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not overcome it.”

Jesus knew you would have trouble first understanding this so this is why he said this,
“In the world you will have trouble…but be of good cheer for I have overcome the world.” John 16:33.

Spiritual Labels

So what do you call yourself?

Few people really like labeling themselves….because labels don’t always fit or not everyone agrees what the label means.

For example I would and have called myself a “Christian” but that label in my opinion...through the years...no longer fits as well. I have learned to let go of my Christian dogma and I find more and more others are doing the same. So can I call myself a Christian? What do I call myself? What fits?

Some would say “Why do you have to label yourself?” Good question!

I have found myself wanting to define my belief system so I can clearly communicate with you what I believe and what I teach. I am a teacher and it is hard to describe what you teach without first giving yourself a label. People want to know where you are coming from.

So I am searching for a label that best describes who I am.

I know I could call myself a “Spiritual Being” “Child of God” a “Member of the Kingdom of God” but these labels are too broad.

I decided to narrow down my labels by eliminating the ones I knew would NOT fit.
Not to exclude neither myself nor my acceptance of others but to get clear which one fits me the best. I can NOT say I am a Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim, Pagan, Jew or Taoist even though I may share with them some spiritual truths. But I quickly eliminated them from my list.

But what about Christian Mystic, New Thought Thinker, a New-Ager, a Spiritualist or a Meta-Physician? Then there other other labels like Light-Worker or Way Shower.

What about you? What would you call yourself? If you had to get in line behind a label… what labels best describe who you are and what you believe?

So I made a video to tell you which spiritual label I have chosen.

Meditation

Do you meditate and pray every day? Do you know how? What are the benefits of prayer and meditation?

For many years I did not understand how or why it was so important to learn how to pray and meditate everyday. I don’t remember anyone teaching me how to meditate. Most Christians do not know how to spend time in prayer and meditation.

I remember hearing the word meditation used in the book of Psalms but it was a mystery to me for many years. It was not until I let go my dogma that I begin to open myself up to idea. If I had learned how to meditate years ago I am sure I would have saved myself from a lot of stress, heart ache, frustration, and disharmony.

The Hebrew words for “Meditate” used in Psalms means to “murmur” as you might ponder your thoughts as you speak to yourself.

I think it is interesting the medical field uses the word “murmur” to describe an unusual sound emanating from the heart….why, because there lies a secret to meditation.

The secret of meditation is…you must get quite enough to hear what your heart is saying...that means learning how to let go of the all the noise within your head. Releasing all thoughts...notice I did not say stop thinking…why? Have you ever tried to do that? Every time you try to stop your thoughts you only create more thoughts. Instead you learn how to let go of your thinking as you begin to relax and experience the moments between the thoughts. That is when your heart will begin to speak to you.

Breathing

Here is a technique I have found that helps me to relax and get quite...the answer is your breathing!

As you set aside your time for meditation and prayer...do it when and where you will not be disturb by anything around you. Find a quite comfortable place to meditate.

As you begin to relax…focus upon your breathing as you breathe normally at a comfortable pattern...stay focused upon your breathing until your mind begins to quite down. Enjoy this quite time. The longer you do this…in time you will sense a connection to your heart, you inner being, your spiritual being and your connection to God.

Listen to what your heart is saying to you...at the same time the Spirit of God will speak and minister to you….surrender to at least five minutes and later on increase that amount of time everyday until you reach a comfortable time for you.

After you have given yourself to this time you will find it easy to pray your prayer of thanks giving…as you acknowledge your connection with God. Once you have reached that personal connection with God...that is when you make your request and affirmations for what you want. I will not go into detail about how to pray but...end all your request with the words of faith….what I mean by that is...make a statement which affirms your request as though it has already been answered...therefore give thanks.

You might want to write down anything the Spirit has spoken to you during your meditation so you will remember it. If you do this I think you will find great joy, peace and harmony through out the rest of the day.

In Psalms 49:3 it says, “My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.”
