Although “enlightenment” means awakening to our God-self within, it is a word with a lot of nuances. It suggests that spirituality is a destination we reach after we achieve a state of spiritual wonder, or a reward for having trekked a specific number of times to Tibet, India, or Rome. It’s a term Bhagavan likes to avoid, probably because he is lovingly correcting the Western scorecard mentality. Many overachieving Westerners consider oneness with God to be either a state granted by a guru or some sort of grand finale to life.
Recently, a reader asked me to briefly explain what I mean by Christ Consciousness. It is discussed in newest book The Oneness Gospel: Birthing the Christ Consciousness and Divine Human in You (coming soon!) By Christ Consciousness, I mean the state of attunement and alignment Jesus had with the Father, a state of being, and elevated state of consciousness. A state where only love exists.

Human relationships are enhanced by setting a new mental equivalent and practicing mindfulness. We can do this in at work, at home, or any place we wish to ‘rise higher.’ Changing your thought patterns will elevate your energy and attract new and better conditions in your life. But when it comes to making positive change, some of us need advice on how to adjust our thinking to make it happen. How do we attract new and powerful opportunities in our lives?

It seems our culture is ridden with negativity from the media, old parental messages, or even advertising that tells us we not good, smart, or fast enough. Even outdated ideas we carry from our own past that we’ve generated all on our own can derail us off the positive thought track and ...

Last week a friend invited me to lunch at her house. This was no ordinary lunch venue. The setting was her perennial garden next to a 40 acre bog, lovingly grown with hoards of bee balm, shasta daisies, and bundles of lazy clematis climbing up trellises nearby. Not to be outdone by the ...

Lately, my heart has been uplifted by the joy and hope that is so strongly felt by everyone during the holiday season. Part of the Christmas celebration is to renew our faith in the light that naturally shines through each one of us. The deeper message of the season is that we can experience a rebirth from our physical or matter-bound existence and embrace the limitless nature of our own soul. It is the time of year that we recognize each of us carries an individual spark of divine creation.
Emmet Fox, a 1940’s new thought minister, stressed the importance of setting a mental equivalent to create an abundant life, borrowing the term from chemistry and physics. If engineers can work out the equivalent of heat in order to determine how much energy it represents in the form of another energy, so can we. What does this say about the way we are perfectly capable of instituting positive change in our lives and world?

The assertive Artemis
