An Afternoon of Enlightenment

We were very blessed today to welcome Dr. Rocco Errico to our church. He came to share his vast knowlegde of the Aramaic language and the Bible.

One of the most impactful things he said was "the heaviest sword is the sword of meekness". In other words, living the life of meekness was extremely difficult. To me, this was very important. Living in a humble and loving manner has always been my goal, and is the life approach we teach. I had never looked at it as being difficult, but when he said it, I began to realize how much focus is required to remain ever kind and ever forgiving. This is certainly not the way we are taught to live by the world. But it is the only way that I personally have ever found success. No amount of force, control, or effort has brought peace and reward to me. As a matter of fact, when I flow with God, in the love of the Universe and trust, I am the happiest. And this is when I honestly feel the most succss.

The sword of meekness...an interesting concept.
I thank God that this energy is not really as heavy as it may seem.

Meditation- a time to explore your divine self

We recently created a website where people can go and listen to one of eight meditations. Spirit guided me to do this so that people could listen to one of the short meditations at work during their breaks. It is hoped that the sight will become a tool of support for anyone who seeks.

Currently, we have a meditation for

Creativity- this allows greater unformed ideas to move into your body.

Prosperity- this meditation activates each chakra to hold a vibration of abundance.

Alignment- this short meditation allows you to recenter and re ground in 4 minutes

Accessing your Higher Self- this is a longer meditation designed to take you deeper into your connection with your divine self.

Oneness- another longer meditation, this one connects you to the universal love of God.

Potential- this guided visualization allows you to access the potential that is within you. It allows you to see what you can create and how you may be blocking it.

Forgiveness- A beautiful experience to release judgment and open the flow of forgiving love.

Releasing Stress- A few minutes that will change your energy from tight and stressfilled to easy and open.

You can enjoy these meditations by going to www.innerquestchurch.org- click on the cloud banner on the upper right side of the front page. This will take you to our new website. Be sure to relax and enjoy them all. Let us know about your experience!

We are Creators!

Often, people want to hold me accountable for their perceptions of pain. They see their pain as if somehow I was to blame, and I am suppose to heal it. Yet, I didn't even know them when their process began.

They don't take the steps toward healing. They simply want someone else to know how much they hurt and then to hold another responsible for their pain.

In our world, the greatest challenge is to realize that we are creating our reality. We are not just creating our dreams and desires, but we are also creating our challenges.

And I am creating the space where people view me as responsible for their pain, hummm.
So, let me walk you through my process.
The first question I must ask, am I blaming another person for my discomfort? no.
I am a minister so are they blaming God by blaming me? Possibly

BUT...Every experience I have must also serve me in some way so:
***Perhaps I allow it, so I can gain greater strength in not accepting that my brother and sister's healings are my responsibility.
***Perhaps this allows me to focus on another and see that no matter how unhappy or trapped they might be, they are Still a MASTER! They created a wonderful opportunity for themselves to grow and perhaps it was the only way they had to get to know themselves.
***Maybe, I am served by seeing all the wonderful ways people are choosing to grow.
***When they blame me for their pain, they are showing me what they have created and have not yet healed. Perhaps in my studies of causal thought, these people are a part of my course curriculum.

Regardless, I must acknowledge that I, too, am growing through this experience.

We are all children of God, all Master Creators.
We are all on a journey of finding self. There are many paths and many choices.
It is a very special moment when we can begin to see that no one else created our pain. At some point in time, we agreed to the experience. We have chosen to learn who we are by experiencing something difficult. I guess this is one sure way that we have to grow our strength and commitment to love.
Yea God

Tomorrow is my birthday. And I, like many of you, wonder if I am on track with my purpose in this lifetime. I have loved so many people. I have seen the Christ in them when they could not. I have prayed, healed, and cared for so many.
Most of them are now on their own journeys, and I wonder if they realize how much they have brought to my world as well.
For every person who cared to share my world, I thank you.
For those who came to me for guidance, I thank you.
For those whose laughter brought me through a tough spot, or lifted my hope so I could show up for another day...I thank you.
I am so grateful for my life. I know that everyone that has touched me, from my birth to now has been a blessing to me. Without each occurance, and each lesson, I would not have grown into the Light I am.
I am grateful for my life.
Whether I am fully on track with my purpose or not, I can honestly say that I have walked with God as my focus- and when I go home- I will know that I have planted many seeds.
Happy Birthday to Me!

Building Strength

Some days you can feel the life exploding all around you- rays of potential dance and then fall into a new pattern of existence. And then there are days when the energy that surrounds you feels like a sludge of disinterested residue, and you wonder what world you woke up in.

I often question how the energies of my life can be so dramatically different from day to day. Is it my expectations of life that create the energy field in which I play? Possibly. But I think more precisely it is - expectation+ prior focus+ karmic pattern+ soul desire - all combined to create each day in it's unique purpose and accomplishment. I suppose that as I walk through the sludge, I am increasing muscle mass and emotional endurance. On those days of radiant showers, I know I am increasing dreams, desires and hopes. I suppose growth comes in many forms. Perhaps without the increased strength, I would not be able to create the dreams I can so clearly see on those days of light.

Forward Motion

When we get divine ideas, they come as a wave of lightness that seems to lift our spirits and open our hearts. We know that we can easily accomplish all that we have been inspired with....and then comes the presentation of our wonderful idea to the world around us.

Why are people so resistant to expansion? I think it's time for us all to surrender to the unknown good that life has for us. We all speak about the potentials of life, yet so many are afraid to change anything.
Stuck= Staying in the same place because you don't have the imagination to visualize something different. And you don't have the energy to invest in greater life.

I, myself, do hereby, commit to expressing the good the Universe brings to my heart. I may only have a short time ahead of me on this Earth plane, but I do vow to make every moment reflect the love and light of life eternal.

I do not wish to go home to my Father/Mother God and say that I was afraid of being bold!
I wish to stand before my Creator and say, "I did what you asked, and I did it with great boldness!"

A wave of Light.

When I was around 21 years old, I had a lot of spirituality in my life- study of reincarnation, astrology, tarot cards, dream interpretation- but I had no place to worship. So, I went back to the church of my childhood- just to be in a place where people prayed together. I loved the energy that I felt- and it didn't matter what was being said, I could feel God.

This was a part of a story that I shared during the Sunday Service this past week. As I was speaking of that wonderful feeling you get when many people are talking to God together, I saw a wave of energy come from behind where I was standing and begin to engulf everyone in the audience. I could see everyone being fed by this flood of spirit. I was surprised that such a simple comment could evoke such a deep outpouring of Spirit. I wonder if anyone in the audience realized what happened. I didn't bring anyone's attention to it, but it was real, very real. And it looked like a silvery liquid wave.

This was a minor portion of the message, but it was an energetic power moment.
Praying together. Pretty Awesome.
