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.

“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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Release your need to control and remember to embrace all of life.

Are you struggling to hold things together? Are you suffering trying to hold them together? What if you just let go…

Jesus models for us moving along with our lives…

Scott explores the story of Steve Jobs and how adversity created massive change for the better in this very public life.

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?”

Wisdom offer some relationship with the Truth.

Wisdom brings us back into the harmony with the Truth.

Gandhi was a man who opposed injustice with love.

Love moves all that is not love out of the way.

Love is the most powerful tool in any situation.

What if you substitute the word LOVE with the word GOD?

Strong emotions are usually tied up with conflict which leads us to avoidence, eruption and other limiting strategies that do not necessarily lead to the resolution and peace that we seek.

What if we were fully present to our conflict? What if we see conflict as the opportunity to grow that it is?

Is strength physical, emotional or spiritual?

What are the factors that contribute to our being perceived as strong in the world? And more importantly, what are the factors that contribute to a greater strength? A Spiritual Strength?

Spiritual Strength comes as we need it.

How can we unfold what we truly want in the face of the fears that we generate from within.

The Unity View of Jesus and the qualities of the Divine that is available to us. How we can integrate Change and those Divine qualities when we feel most unsupported.

Scott introduces the Uniteen project that represents the 12 Powers and their interpretation of each of those Powers.
