sclass

The Mojo Doctors -- Bradford Keeney & Hillary Stephenson -- are now presenting eight hours of recorded ecstatic teachings free to the public.

Feline Wisdom: Be Authentic

By Leave a Comment
cat_tongue

In recent years, I've felt an increasing importance to live authentically. I am who I am. In the past I cared (too much) about what people thought of me and made some choices based on whether or not I thought they might judge me harshly. And I'm talking about silly things: the music I enjoy, my sometimes dark and overly silly sense of humor, my love of wildly dancing in the kitchen to the Bee Gees. I thought perhaps some people would think me less spiritual if they knew that in the same hour, … [Read more...]

Workshop: Ancestral Hawaiian wisdom teachings

By Leave a Comment
Inette Miller 'Imaikalani and 'Iokepa Hanalei 'Imaikalani

When Inette Miller -- a single mother, former war correspondent, nice Jewish girl, and respected journalist -- traveled to Hawaii for a week's vacation, little did she dream that she would stay for a lifetime. And not a lifetime of luxury in paradise, either, but a grueling physical and spiritual journey that would tax every desire and concept she ever held dear. For on that vacation she met 'Iokepa Hanalei 'Imaikalani, guardian of the Aboriginal Hawaiian Culture, who was "living rough" on a … [Read more...]

Feline Wisdom | Play

By Leave a Comment

How much of your day is spent "playing?" Really -- think about it. In a world where working overtime is applauded and rushing our kids from activity to activity has become the norm, who's got time to relax, laugh, and truly enjoy life? One of the reasons I am writing about this subject is to remind myself of this very thing. I spend much of my day working from home. I love what I do, but I sometimes become driven and look past a game with my kids or a walk in the woods because there's always … [Read more...]

Feline Wisdom | Possibility

By 4 Comments
cat_sleep

As humans, we sometimes make choices based on beliefs that are self-limiting and rob us of the radiant joy we so generously deserve. Dwelling in possibility and opening ourselves to unlimited good can definitely feel a little un-comfort zone-y, but relaxing and embracing our divine infinite potential is a sure-fire key to real happiness. One of my favorite quotations comes from inner peace guru Wayne Dyer. He talks about "having a mind that is open to everything and attached to nothing." This … [Read more...]

The Time is Now: Mission Happiness

By Leave a Comment

Most of us "get" the importance of taking care of ourselves physically. It's also important to be aware of our mental bodies by way of our thoughts, our emotional bodies, and how we are feeling. And we can do all of this when we recharge though our spiritual self. We exercise the way we have been told and eat the way we feel is healthy. I think that the understanding of eating organic and taking responsibility for our environment is very prominent if we are aware. Going green is a very hip … [Read more...]

Wisdom Beyond the Veil

By 1 Comment

Beyond the veil that separates the earth from the heavens exists a hierarchy of Divine Beings who are waiting. They know there are human beings who will one day realize they are more than a body plodding through life because of some cosmic accident. They know these souls will awaken to a memory that something Divine exists within them, something that connects them to an unknown powerful source of wisdom. We are those souls and they are the wisdom beyond the veil that is waiting to guide … [Read more...]

"This is the ultimate purpose of man...to find the One which is in him...which is his truth...which is his Soul; the key with which he opens the gate of the spiritual life...the heavenly kingdom within." - Unknown Religious suppression is gradually being replaced by spiritual freedom; a freedom that has opened the door to the "Self-awareness" movement. Unfortunately, the pendulum has swung too far. Many of us run to the latest "new age," self-help, inspirational best seller, searching for the … [Read more...]

Election Night Conversations with Wisdom

By Leave a Comment

Every election day I see a smaller than usual turn-out for my Tuesday night class, what with people's time and attention so taken up with the political process at hand. In the historic election of 2008, I decided the best way to get any turn-out at all would be to hold an after-voting event aimed at envisioning healing for our world and its leaders.But as class was about to start, I was distracted and agitated. I wished I had just cancelled for the evening, because all I wanted was to glue … [Read more...]

By Leave a Comment

Last of a three-part series "There will be no war as a result of the corruption and deceit of the politicians because I am among you.

But now the time is imminent when I will have to raise My hand so that people can converge on Me and look towards Me for guidance." MaitreyaScottish-born painter and esotericist … [Read more...]

An Interview with Sunny Dawn Johnston

What was the most sacred moment you have had in your life? Sunny Dawn Johnston: The most sacred moment I have had in my life was the day my ex-mother-in-law transcended her body. It was a day I will never forget. The synchronicities of the days events began at 10 a.m. with a phone call. She had no brain activity, was comatose and being taken off life support. The doctors said she would not live five minutes after taking her off support, but they didn't know the spirit of this lady! I … [Read more...]

Take Me to the River

By Leave a Comment

The word educate comes from the Latin word educare, which means to draw out. This implies that knowledge comes from within us and that facts act as catalysts to activate the knowledge that is already there. This leads us to think that learning is more of a remembering than it is an accumulation of new ideas. Of, course, this flies in the face of the conventional wisdom, which places great importance on deriving knowledge from the world of objective sensory experience. Knowledge isn't … [Read more...]
