Hello! 

I pray all is well as we “live forward” creating a better world today and for all of our tomorrows. I’d like to share some insights with you from some recent experience(s) I’ve had, and I do this in recognition of life’s synchronicity and the Divine Consciousness (awareness/unity with God) that I’m feeling so blessed to have experienced and need to share.

I recently made a decision to move to a new city, recognizing that I needed to be living in a more progressive…

Greetings Dear Ones,

We are always en-light-ened by the time we spend in communion with you. It is our highest hope and desire that you will take time from your busy day to commune with your “Higher Self” and personal Spirit Team more often, preferably on a daily basis.

This communion is essential for anyone who is diligent about pursuing enlightenment during their current incarnation. It is simple to do, but one’s busy-ness, disbelief and resistance makes…

Angel Wings

"Man is the highest form of creation, even more so than the angels, for man aspires to freedom."    -Paramahansa Yogananda



For as long as I can remember I have always been connected to the angelic realms.

My very first encounter was at the age of three. It was late at night and I found myself awakened by the sound of music. A thousand water based instruments and another thousand voices of the highest pitch. Even at such a tender age, I instinctually knew the musi…

Greetings!

We are well pleased for this opportunity to communicate with you. We know that you have many questions about the universe and how to connect with your Guides.

In order to increase these communication…

Remember Who You Are Child; Thou art Light

by Rev. Allen Reed, Jr.


Dreams are powerful portals of perception and guidance and as a society it is our innate duty to ourselves, mankind and to GOD in our modern age to reclaim this lost ancient practice, for the subconscious speaks to us in dreams in its own language of symbols.  It only speaks one language and symbols is it, so we must learn its language to better understand ourselves.

There are many treasures that await us all in the dream world. Treasures that shamans knew the truth a…

Bach Flower of the Month: GENTIAN (April 2021)

by Rev. Shellie Enteen

Following emotional Pisces and dynamic Aries, the sign of Taurus brings us back to earth with sensory delight.

Taurus wants to touch, taste, and smell the world around it. It wants to build and, most of all, it wants to preserve: the status quo, resources, relationships, and values. If “me” was Aries’ word, “mine” is the word for Taurus.

However, as stable and grounded as Taurus may sound, it can become insecurity and develop into a pattern of “holding on” that become…

Spring has sprung! In the Northern climates, the aroma of renewal is carried on the breeze as trees display the yellow/green of new growth and flowers burst forth into pastel hues of pink, yellow, blue, and lavender. Throughout the Northern Hemisphere, the season brings an increase in energy and activity. Birds are nest-building and people begin to focus on socializing and romance. It is a time of optimism -- a new beginning -- a time to clear out the old and embrace the …

Teachings

Even through the smoky haze of charred and pungent mind ash,
It is clear to see
And sometimes painful to watch
The writhing throes of agony he endures
In order to know.
He screams and cries and wails
Proclaiming he will quit soon
(“I’ll end this search! I’m done! I cannot get there!”)
Because this feverish exhaustion of seeking
May just be getting the better of him.

On some afternoons, still,
He knocks at the door
Of someone who appears to know.
This one who appe…
