Excerpt from my book The Dream Maker

About That One Thing Lacking... The Dream Maker finalizes his lesson: “Love without DISCIPLINE is like a beautiful automobile locked in a garage. It is great to have, but unless you get it started, you’re going nowhere. Discipline is the element you must add to Wisdom, Faith and Love to make them a day-to-day reality. You could not have asked me for it because it is certainly the part of the job that you must accomplish for yourself. It means patience, persistence and taking action.r

Psychic Development: Mediumship and Channeling

Spirit communicates with us daily in varied ways. I receive most of my spirit communication through translating symbols. For example, when I see a hawk gently gliding in the sky, I watch and listen. My internal point (Higher Self) hears the message. When I receive the message, I always say thank you. There are so many ways to receive communication from spirit. I look through and at the world with eyes of listening. My eyes hear and my ears see. By calming your thoughts regard

What is spirituality? rnSpirituality is about staying in our True Self (Pure Soul) as a knower and seer. rn rnWhat is the True Self? It is the Pure Soul.

Being True to the Inner You

We each operate within belief systems that are in no way exactly the same, even if there exist some similarities between them. In a way, we each walk around within our own bubble colored by our past experiences and the understandings and conclusions we’ve made about ourselves and the world at large from these experiences. We co-exist within multiple realities, yours, mine, hers, his, and so on. The beauty of this is that reality becomes about what’s true for you at this m

How Excellent!

I was amazed at the response from a person I ran into at the store today. When that person asked me how I was doing and I said "excellent", he seemed offended. He went on to state that "no one is doing excellent....you may be doing good, but you are not doing excellent!" At this point, I just repeated," Yes, I am excellent." What the person didn't understand is that we serve an excellent God. In Him we move and have our being. Psalm 8:1 says " How excellent is thy name in all the earth." In Jesus' name I am doing excellent. No, I don't have a million dollars in the bank, but I'm not broke.

Take Charge of Your Happiness!

Not long ago, my son and I were talking about what it takes to be happy. I explained to him that unfortunately, you can’t actually be in charge of someone else's happiness or success. At end of the day each of us needs to be in charge of our own happiness and success. I am a father, a teacher, and a boss. If I could make my kids, students, and employees happy with a wave of a wand, that would be great. However, it doesn’t work that way. I explained to my son that even as

Why I Envy Sceptics!

Spiritual sensitives, such as myself, have many abilities that are deemed extraordinary, but there is one common, yet powerful, ability that every-day people possess that we are envious of – scepticism! The ability to un-know the things that we do as spiritual sensitives would be a great relief, as, speaking from personal experience, many of the things that we experience have a tremendous impact on emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being.

Clutter: Attempting to fill the space within

There’s certain energy and power in ownership. Society tells us it’s the American dream to accumulate. The house, the car, the toys, the accessories, the clothes. You set your sites on these things and once you have it all everything will be fine. Right? For some this may be true, for many it’s an illusion; the beautiful palm tree and cool thirst quenching pool (mirage) in the journey of our lives that continues to stay just out of reach.

Daring to Live Your Calling is a Path of Showing Up Fitfully and Fabulously

We were talking on an evening when she “hadn’t shown up at all.” She had washed dishes instead. You would have thought she had mutilated small children. And gauging the self-attack that followed, I

How many hours of sleep do you usually pack in a day? Is it tempting to pack more work in a day and skip few hours of sleep so that you ultimately have a productive day according to you?

How You Evolve

It is in this part of your brain that the latent memory of who you are and why you were born is stored. This part of your brain is the se
