An experience as devastating as the earthquake and tsunami in Japan causes us all to wonder why and how such an event can occur. The loss of human life and damage to property poses many sobering questions to a person of compassion and conscience. It touches us at the deepest level and forces us to confront the experience of suffering. Yet there are lessons, insights, and healings that come from even the darkest night of the soul. Disasters move us to revisit and reorder our priorities, and … [Read more...]

Taurus (Apr. 20-May 20)...You've got more lucky energy this month than you've had in a long time. With Jupiter in your sign, life just naturally wants to bring you positive … [Read more...]

Our featured topic: Travel I never took trips without some kind of purpose being attached to it, and without some kind of timeframe attached to that purpose in which to accomplish it. In the past, the purpose of my travels was always a vacation from What Is My Life. I would literally vacate from the responsibilities, obligations and schedules of my life situation for experiences that would soothe, calm and delight. This time, I am embarking on a road trip with a very different purpose, and … [Read more...]

Our featured topic: Travel Traveling, whether around the corner or around the world, is one of the best ways to enhance psychic ability and open us to spirituality in all its forms. New views and experiences open our minds to look beneath and beyond our typical world view. Travel challenges us to see beyond normal vision, to hear between the words and to intuitively know things outside of our five senses. I have been blessed to travel in over 90 countries, often leading a group of spiritual … [Read more...]

Circumstances have overtaken man. His old languages are not sufficient to describe what is happening, and what is about to happen. To think in terms of a millennium or such tame concepts as "the eleventh hour" is ridiculous. Better that he should realize that he is in an era which might be more accurately described as the "eighth day of the week." - Idries Shah For the spiritual traveler, we are living in a complex and unique age - one of tremendous upheaval and great opportunity to solve … [Read more...]

Answered Prayers

By Leave a Comment

I recently had a day where I felt I was just emotionally beaten down and utterly defeated. In one day I'd received extremely harsh truths from multiple people in my life, both personally and professionally. As you can imagine, this was quite difficult to take until I'd had a good night's sleep. Upon waking in the morning, I realized that, in fact, I had been given an amazing gift. That gift was truth. This truth was the closure I'd sought in a romantic situation and clarification about my … [Read more...]
