Zeal is that quality that rises in us that lets us stand in the unknown.
Overwhelm makes us want to run, to medicate in some way. Zeal is the thing that gets us through these things. It’s the energy that always carries us forward.
Zeal is a natural energy moving within you. It is fed by that quiet within you. Prayer and meditation are our tools to access and connect to that quiet within. Zeal comes from that quiet ground and feeds us.
By holding our discomfort in check and going within we find guidence that moves us towards that which our zeal enfolds.
Zeal renews our passion for life. And zeal carries us through the difficult times.

Our limiting beliefs have a way of distorting our desires coming through us. By fully allowing our wishing and wanting, we become aware of what that wishing and wanting is pointing to…
“The spiritual path is the process of purifying our consciousness” ~ Charles Fillmore
When you receive your dream, it’s a good time to pause… what is it that the dream represents? We will find what the true heart’s desire is that is represented by the dream.

Divne Order is not interested in coddling us, it is interested in bring us to our Truth.
The spiritual path is a leap of faith. And when we take that leap, Divine Order kicks in.
When we are not willing to align with our Truth, Divine Order comes along and it can feel like the cosmic two by four.
The rules bring a certain efficiency. However, when we rigidly hold to the rules, we edge God out. Let the Spirit of Truth guide you.

There is a tenacity to the presence of God that never gives up. This Intelligence takes an interest in the poteniality of your life.
What is best for the curriculum of your life?
God is a harmonizing, a personalizing force that works for our greater good. In aligning our personal will with God’s Will we can stop “making it happen” and allowing it to happen.
Be curious about everything. This is essential to the Spiritual Inquiry. And we can apply our personal will in applying this curiousity.
God’s Will is to bring us in alignment into our true heart’s desire.

Ever get swept up with a creative idea? Where you forget to eat and sleep? That energy plays a big part in discovering the fullness of who we are.
So how do we orient our lives to those ideas that let us tap into that core energy so that we can discover more of who we are?
Appriciative Inquiry is the tool we can use to open up to the possibility of the experience.
What you focus on, expands. Lets allow our questioning to focus on that which we want to expand.
Your potential works through your giftedness. When you focus on what you don’t do well, you are not focused on your giftedness. In an appreciative inquiry we allow ourselves to engage in our giftedness.

Meditation is challenging and lifelong. And it offers its benefits slowly, over time.
Meditation introduces us to focusing. As you focus, you begin to see how your brain is not focused. We observe all the ways our minds leap from thing to thing.
As we meditate over time we come to know that there is an “observer.” As you orient to that, you begin to open to Spirit working through you. You begint to orient towards your truth in the moment.

We box ourselves in and life is calling us out of our boxes. Whether we are ready or not.
Life doesn’t let us alone. It will constantly put us into situations that invite us out.
There is a natural unfoldment of our lives that works for our ultimate good. Walk into this unfoldment with as much awareness as possible.
The Universe doesn’t care about the box. It cares about the expression of your potential.

We hold on to feel safe. And when we hold on to our consciousness we have a limited amount of space.
Albert Einstein had 2 rules. Rule #1 - There are no rules.
When we are willing to create space in our lives, there is an opportunity to make space for God. Learn to hang out in the spaceous. As every Spiritual Practice we teach brings space.

God is not a person, God is a presence. The Divine Father represents the Principle Aspect of God. God is the undrelying, unchangable Truth.
How do we align with the principles of God? Aligning with Spirit can feel like falling off a cliff. This is my life and an opportunity to step off the cliff.
The Spiritual Life is where you look to God for the knowing and guidence for our life.

Imagination is the process where we take the formless and bring it into form. It is an essential element to the creative process. The clearer we see it, the easier it is to bring it into form.
The question we need to embrace is “are we using our imagination to our fullest capacity?” Are we using our imagination as a trap of the ego or as a co-creator with God?
Imagination is the power of the idea. It is the power that we have to co-create with God.
At some point you must actually engage in the image that is coming forth. And at times being engaged is very intense. It require persistance. We are making something happen… we are co-creating with God.

Some things in our lives turn out to be really painful. Our egos get in there and our egos want to punish the perpetrators of the pain.
While that may be a position where our egos are comfortable, it really doesn’t work for us.
“Resentment is like drinking poison and expecting someone else to die.” ~Jean Marie
How can we begin to stop poisoning ourselves? The answer lies in forgiveness. Forgiveness is the possibility to really open to our lives. So we can be open to the guidence and co-create our lives.
When you no longer remember the hurt, you know the healing has happened. That is forgiveness.

The Father aspect of God is principle. The Mother God is intimate. Its the aspect that is available to us personally.
This aspect never worries about us. It sees our capacity and potential. And it invites us into our potential.
Life is about sharing and giving and being about fully enrolled and participating in life. When we align we experience a certain caring in life.
This Mother aspect is dynamic and responsive to the moment. It is this aspect that is imbued with great wisdom and knowing. It reveals as it needs to reveal. It works syncronisticly.
How do we open more and more to this Mother Aspect of God?

The heart of “Real Power” lies in our vulnerability. Real Power is something that arises in the moment.
Listen to Scott as he explores the “Real Power” that comes from our authentic moments with God.
Humankind is the power of God in Action. The Christ Spirit is imbued with all the qualities of God. Therefore you are imbued with all the qualities of God.
The rub is that with Spirit, the qualities of Spirit arise as needed in the moment. You can not call on them.

Jesus embodied the Christ Principle which is Love.
While we know that “love” is the quality we should strive to embody, we find in reality that this takes us to vulnerability.
Often our vulnerability takes us to a place of discomfort, even pain. And yet, we are faced with this spiritual concept of “Love.”
Lets find our own authenticity in a true expression of “Love” and the spiritual power that this brings.

Posted by admin under Change , ResurrectionNo Comments
Life is a cycle. In nature, we move to and through death and dormancy to spring in nature. And so it is in our own lives. Do you resist the “winter” when it comes?
Release your need to control and remember to embrace all of life.

Isn’t it interesting how some of our most challenging and excruciating life events become the best thing that ever happened to us?
Scott explores the story of Steve Jobs and how adversity created massive change for the better in this very public life.

This is the story of John Frances, author of Planet Walker. His choice to spend over 20 years NOT traveling in a motorized vehicle brings many powerful lessons, opportunities and experiences.
John’s response to oil spills and their effects on the environment lead John to actively participate in the the creation of national laws that govern how we deal with oil pollution.
This life illustrates the law of mind/action.
The question is “What is my right action?”
