Juan O Savin, Divine Guidance and Who to Trust

Last week, I listened to David Nino Rodriguez interview Juan O Savin about Juan’s insights on the current state of the world, and how things will move forward. David was taking questions from the live audience and asked Juan, who are we to trust? A listener wanted to know which truthers and media outlets can be trusted for reliable information and insight. I’ve transcribed the excerpt below. It is important for discerning and navigating the huge changes ahead.

David Rodriguez: “Are all the truthers to be trusted? Who can we trust?”

Juan O Savin: “Look, you need to be asking God Himself for guidance. If you’re looking to a guru, any person, any man, you need Divine assistance. Even the best truther or prophet or guru, or whatever, all they should be doing is giving you some checkpoints and clues. Ultimately, you need to be asking God Himself for guidance because your situation is unique from every other person, even your closest relative, the person you work with. You may need some special guidance, will need some special guidance that’s specific to you. If there are people out there that are talking, don’t just listen with just your human ears, you need Divine assistance because the siren’s song … in the Scripture it says that there were great deceptions coming that even the elect, God’s own people, God’s children, could be fooled by. Except that God Himself gives you this extra understanding, okay? If it were possible, even the elect would be deceived. Well, how would it not be possible? Because they hear from God Himself. I don’t even trust people that I trust! I still have to ask for Divine assistance, guidance, thoughts to make the best understanding, because even good guys make mistakes from time to time, or get pulled off …

“Even the very best people that you think are hearing from God, prophets, well if you’re just going off of what they said you can get misled. You need to hear from God personally, directly.

“And I believe that God is as serious as you are. If you ask God for guidance for your life, God will give you that guidance. If you’re looking to a guru, you’re getting secondhand food, it’s the bird that chews up the food and puts it in your mouth. I don’t want predigested food! I don’t want prechewed food! It is steak, have a steak! Get word from God directly, not through a man as an interim conduit, because it may not be the right word for you!

If you want to listen to the entire interview (recorded on February 23rd), here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syw1UfK07IQ . The excerpt I’ve highlighted begins at 38:48 minutes.

I agree with Juan that receiving direct guidance from God should be at the top of our priorities. Certainly, if you want to fulfill your mission for this life, or come out on the other side of the turbulence and chaos in a much better place, you will need direct guidance from God. And you will need to show God / the Universe that you’re serious about it, too. That you’re ready for your mission, ready to take action.

I am not an investigative journalist, and haven’t been following world events closely. For deep insight on geopolitical and world events, I recommend Tore Maras (ToreSays show), Clif High and Juan O Savin. But if you want to strengthen your connection with God, if you want to become more confident in your connection with your higher self (your direct connection with God) and receive such clear guidance that you will not be able to dismiss it, this is where I can help. By sharing with you my journey.

You see, I have worked on strengthening my connection with God … seriously … since around the year 2000. Around that time (well, maybe a couple of years before then, too) I began to sense in my inner being, in the pit of my stomach, a deep unease as to what was coming. (I couldn’t put my finger on it, because it was deep, but it was a feeling of dread.) My personal life also became unstable around the year 2000, further motivating me to seek God’s guidance.

I committed to this process of seeking God’s guidance by making some major changes in my life. I kept track of what I experienced by writing down what happened as I strengthened that connection with God. I kept track of what brought me a step forward, and what pulled me a step back.

Your journey will be different than mine. Your guidance will be different, and you will be asked to do different things. What kind of actions will you be guided to take in the weeks and months ahead? Well, as Juan said, it’s individual for each of us. The guidance you receive will not be the same as mine, it may not even take the same forms as mine (for example, guidance can come in the form of dreams, waking up with a strong inner knowing, “signs,” overhearing things that answer a current issue or question, an uplifting feeling in my heart, experiencing favorable synchronicities, etc.). Even the form of guidance is specific to you, because God knows what will get your attention. God will provide you with that guidance, as long as you’re serious.

For a recent example of Divine guidance I received, read my last blog post titled, The Tipping Point of the Great Awakening.

If you have questions about any of the material above, if you want the checkpoints, clues, as well as real life examples, it is my honor and duty to help, by leading by example and sharing my story. I share the things I said, my prayers, the specific things I did, and how the Universe responded when I said, and did, those things in my book, What Everyone Believed: a memoir of intuition and awakening. By leading by example, I can help you along your journey, if only to reduce the fear that accompanies the process. If you have questions or concerns, or if you’re afraid you’re going to lose yourself in the process (which I discovered can be a big obstacle on this journey). This book will help a lot.

How do you gain confidence in your connection with God, in your inner guidance and intuition? Do you simply stand in front of the mirror and tell yourself that your connection is 100%? Or does your confidence in your connection increase gradually (as you begin to follow your inner guidance and experience amazing synchronicities as confirmation that you’re on the right track)? Even if you don’t think you have a mission, or just want to be more connected and intuitive, this is the path for strengthening your intuition.

The above is part of the message I’ve been sharing since 2008 when my first book came out, which then followed by 144 articles on EzineArticles, a second book, and starting this blog at the beginning of 2012. If you would like to support my mission to share this message with the world, please contact me through my contact page.

If you want, I can mail you a signed copy of my hardcover book, or you may purchase either a hardcover, or a Kindle version, through Amazon. It will help you navigate these challenging times, and your so doing will help me out as well. Thank you.

Interpreting Dreams – The Key to Understanding Your Dreams

Share this
FacebooktwitterlinkedinFacebooktwitterlinkedin

Many people are experiencing more vivid dreams lately, so I am republishing an old 2011 article of mine from ezinearticles on how to interpret your dreams. I am aware that humanity is going through an intense period of awakening, and one of the ways that Spirit speaks to you and guides you through this awakening is through your dreams.

My last blog post focused on remembering your dreams. You might want to read that post first, and follow the tips in it. Once you are able to remember your dreams, you will want to interpret them, and understand them better. So, what are the keys to understanding your dreams?

The main key to understanding your dreams involves strengthening the relationship you have with your higher self and cultivating a deeper, clearer, and more real relationship with that inner part of you. If you are like most people, you probably paid little attention to your “higher self” as you learned to fit in and play your role in society. (No worries about that though; there is a point to everyone playing their role, which we will learn in due time.)

But now, at this time of the Great Awakening, becoming more conscious of your higher self and confident in that inner connection is the key. This inner connection will become super valuable and important, especially when you see societal systems collapsing around you, and you see that you can no longer rely on them. Let’s put it this way: the time ahead will be A LOT easier for you if you are confident in your connection with your higher self (your direct connection to God) and experience regular confirmation of that connection.

Anyway, back to interpreting our dreams. I have previously shared that before I reconnected to my higher self, I was not good at remembering my dreams and had a hard time interpreting them. (I would remember, maybe, only the last parts of my dreams.) But after I became more connected to my higher self, my dreams became clearer and more vivid. Also, I could remember details about them that I considered relevant to what was happening in my life at the time.

The following is an example of a dream I had in 2005. I include this dream here because it has some significance to the time of awakening that we are going through right now. The following dream is an excerpt from my spiritual awakening memoir:

“At the end of January 2005, I awakened from a dream where I was scrambling across a craggy landscape that looked like the aftermath of a mountain explosion. Large boulders and slabs lay all around me in disarray, as though they had fallen from the sky. Crevices wide enough to fall through stymied your path; you had to watch your every move. I was stepping through the wreckage, hopping from boulder to boulder, headed towards a city that looked like ancient Rome. When I entered the city through the front gates, I saw lions living among the people. Lions loitered in the courtyards, on the piazzas and the verandas. The people hummed about the city guardedly—quite understandable, given that you could never be sure what a lion might do. I too walked around feeling guarded, and slipped away to a safe place while still going about my normal business. I was with a Hispanic woman. She had been stopped for questioning at one of the city’s checkpoints—a common thing. And as I was waiting for her, I awakened from my dream.

“After I recorded this dream into my journal, it occurred to me that the people had learned to live with the lions; the two had coexisted. And perhaps after a few generations, it became the only way they knew how to live. They had learned how to walk, what to do, what to feed the lions. They went about their daily business taking certain precautions and thus, were relatively safe. And then, the lions did not seem so much like lions anymore. They mostly lazed around, swishing their tails.”—End of excerpt.

Back in 2005, when I awakened from this dream, I interpreted it to mean that I had a decent handle on things, and that I was supposed to keep going with my mission while “coexisting” with my fears. Later, I saw an additional meaning in this dream: that I have learned my lessons and have learned to coexist with my biggest fears to the point where they no longer blocked me from doing what I was here to do. My fears have been transformed. In fact, what I discovered is that my biggest fears turned out to be the catalysts that helped me discover my unique contribution toward this important time in humanity’s history.

Your spiritual awakening (strengthening your connection with your higher self, your connection with God / the Universe) is an important step in your journey. It is why you are here, on this Earth, at this time. And even though the events we will go through will be extremely challenging, if your connection with your higher self is strong, your fears will not have the same hold they had on you in the past. (Yes, I do believe that world events will get rockier before they get better.)

To summarize, one of the ways that Spirit speaks to you and guides you in your life is through your dreams. This is why it’s worth the effort to remember your dreams, to try to understand them, and to strengthen your relationship with your higher self.

Tips for Remembering Your Dreams

Share this
FacebooktwitterlinkedinFacebooktwitterlinkedin

Last month, I had a dream where I popped into a bright, white meeting room where a few other people were assembled around a large conference room table. But as soon as I was noticed by the others, I got the feeling they were thinking, what in the world are you doing here? So I made myself wake up, to get away. Strange, too, is that this dream happened at the beginning of the night, soon after I fell asleep, rather than in the morning when most of my dreams usually occurred. It felt so real, it has a lasting impression on me, still to this day.

My intuition says I popped into a room where what’s happening on this planet, and what’s next, was being discussed. But clearly, they didn’t want me there to listen in. At least not yet.

I’m curious if anyone else had a similar experience, or if you have any insight on this. If so, please leave a comment below!

Anyway, this dream inspired me to update an article on remembering your dreams that I wrote back in March 2011 …

Back then, a reader had emailed, asking what he should do so he could remember his dreams. “Can you give me some insight into dreaming? I do not and cannot remember my dreams. I was told this is not normal. Why can’t I remember my dreams?” he asked.

I understand his frustration. Earlier in my life, I usually wouldn’t remember my dreams, either. And when I did remember a dream, usually it was only the last part of it. And even then, I wouldn’t notice the details that other people claimed to be able to notice—details like color, for instance.

But then, as I began to reconnect to my higher self, I began to pay more attention to my inner feelings, and this is what helped develop my capacity to remember my dreams. (Connecting to your higher self develops you in a number of ways. Remembering your dreams is one of them.)

Besides reconnecting to your higher self (which I will not discuss in this post, as I’ve already written on this topic extensively on this blog and in my two books), I recommend the following tips for remembering your dreams.

5 Tips for Remembering Your Dreams

  1. Anticipate that you will have dreams and that you will remember them. To this end, get yourself a notebook specifically for your personal growth: your new insights and dreams. Keep this notebook by your bedside, along with a pencil or pen and be ready to write in it when you wake up with a dream, even if you only remember a few things.
  2. As you retire for the night, ask your higher self for guidance while you sleep. (Do this nightly.) Ask your higher self a question about a problem you are dealing with, or about something bothering you at the moment. For example, “How do I solve that thermodynamics homework problem? Give me some insight into setting up the solution.” Then relax and fall asleep, knowing that your higher self is working on the solution while you sleep.
  3. When you awaken in the middle of the night with a new or helpful insight, put the light on and write it down in your notebook. Do not miss the opportunity to develop the capacity to make new neural connections and capture new insights. More often than not, you will not remember the new insight in the morning. Write it down, promptly.
  4. When you are dreaming and you begin to notice that you’re dreaming, it usually signals that you will soon awaken from your dream. Do not try to awaken; don’t even move. Just go over what happened in your dream, over and over again, until you find yourself fully awake.
  5. Then, while still in bed, pick up your dream journal and write in as many details about your dream that you can remember. Do not put off writing in your dream journal until later in the day. Do it right away!

Regarding tip number 1 above: intention and anticipation may seem to be the same, but I came to experience that anticipation had more power in it than intention. For example, years ago, rather than intending that I receive guidance from my higher self, I anticipated it—I paid attention and looked out for it and then I followed through when I received the guidance. When describing what works to get the “ball rolling,” anticipation is more accurate than intention. Anyway, would Carly Simon have written a song called Intention? I seriously doubt it.

Reconnecting to your higher self and following the tips above will help you develop your capacity to not only remember your dreams, but to experience dreams that are more meaningful to you, dreams that guide you to solve a particular problem or to advance you in some area of your life. Because the truth is, your dreams are one way your higher self (and your spirit guides) use to guide you on your life path, to give you insight.

Now for Some Important Guidance

Are you actively involved in the awakening that is happening all over the planet? If not, it is time to step up! As I have said numerous times before, everyone has a role in this fight, including you. If you don’t have a role yet, and are looking to be useful, I would recommend Tore Says on Telegram (app on your phone, and her most active channel). Tore Says is also on Facebook and Twitch. Some of her videos show up on YouTube, too.

I consider Tore to be most knowledgeable of what’s going on in the U.S. government today, and world, for that matter. That’s because she worked with some top officials and wrote some of the scripts being played out today. Here’s a link to see her various channels:

https://toresaid.com/torecontent.cshtml

I’ve written before that we must fight, in our local areas, using the laws that are currently in place. Tore has an army of people writing letters, filing Writs of Mandamus in their local states, attending local school board meetings, getting together and getting stuff done. Connect with this army on Telegram, including the local state groups. It is making a difference.

I have also impressed upon you that now’s the perfect time for you to be a hero. You are being given a chance, a once in a many-lifetimes opportunity to give it your all. We are all on a hero’s journey. Please step up not only for your family and fellow man, but for YOU.

Connect Within for Your Awakening and Connection with God

Share this
FacebooktwitterlinkedinFacebooktwitterlinkedin

If 2020 hasn’t been crazy enough for you, events in 2021 have escalated to a whole new level. This is why it’s high time to strengthen your connection with God, trust yourself in that connection, and awaken to the bigger picture, the Great Awakening.

The last few weeks, the world seems to be spiraling more and more out of control. For example, are you aware that the Italian government has just collapsed? Are you aware that Italy and NATO were involved in rigging elections in the U.S.? Have you heard that Germany’s chancellor Angela Merkel has stepped down? Are members of the Dutch government resigning? Has Estonia’s prime minister already resigned? Is Putin rewriting Russia’s Constitution? Did Pope Francis and former Pope Benedict receive the C0r0navirus vaccine? And I wonder: Will it be announced in the near future that both popes have passed away, not long after the vaccine was administered?

I caught the news about the popes getting the C0VID vaccine from a local California TV news network at a friend’s house a couple of nights ago. My friend happened to be surfing the channels, searching for a game show to watch as the news headline about the two popes spread across the screen. (I’ve avoided watching the TV news, particularly lately, but managed to catch that gem.)

Is the news getting to be too much lately? Is it enough to make your head spin? Well, I’m writing this blog post to share that when you don’t know whom to trust or what to believe, that’s your cue to go within, pray, and strengthen the connection you have with God. So that you can connect with the truth within, awaken to the bigger picture, to your inner power, and to your role at this time in the Divine Plan.

I have a bit of an advantage at this time in this “Great Awakening” as I’ve gone through a spiritual awakening more than 13 years ago and have written two books on that subject. My first book is a personal account, a memoir of my awakening experience, and the second one is a how-to book. It explains in plain, simple language how to strengthen the connection with your soul, your “higher self,” which is your direct connection with God, with the Christ within, with Christ consciousness. My second book shares what I’ve learned from my awakening experience, and how I began to “innerstand,” to see things differently, ever since.

You see, my world began to spiral out of control soon after the dawn of the new millennium, the year 2000. I sought answers to my crises and discovered that ultimately, the answers would need to come from within myself. Feeling that there was nothing or no one that could help me, I knew that I needed to help myself, by finding the truth within.

It was a lonely path, with years of loneliness and unease. My path was being shown by my inner connection and occasionally (about three times a year for about seven years), I would receive a channeled message over the phone from the Counsel of Light that helped me connect more deeply and gain more confidence in that inner connection.

The channeled messages helped strengthen that inner connection. I was given a “heart and soul” meditation to practice, and learned to follow my inner guidance. In fact, in the beginning, when I didn’t have a lot of confidence in that inner connection, my higher self “activated” my heart before receiving an important insight. The “preview” feeling of upliftment helped me pay attention to the guidance that soon followed.

Over the years, I discovered that when I paid at least as much attention to my inner guidance as I did to the outside world, that was when “critical mass” occurred. That’s when I began to “spiral upwards,” awaken spiritually and receive favorable synchronicities and blessings from “the Universe” as positive reinforcement, as well as confirmation that I was on the right path. You may call this path the hero’s journey. The hero’s journey is how we discover our contribution to the Golden Age, and how we build a new world.

I’ve written over 150 articles and blog posts on spiritual awakening (many of which you can find on this blog). I’ve worked hard to share my message, but haven’t reached many people. Hopefully, my work can now provide comfort to many more people during this time of turmoil.

Remember that the truth is within you, and God is within you. Yes, there will be heroes and heroines in the world, but even if you have no idea what’s going on right now you are not just a victim. You are here for a reason. You helped plan this human journey way back when, which means the answers to its fulfillment are within you. You can help yourself and help others. Rise up now and help the world.

A Sign of Mass Awakening

Share this
FacebooktwitterlinkedinFacebooktwitterlinkedin

I’ve been meaning to relaunch my spiritual awakening blog for a few months now, but was waiting for the right inspiration. The last several months, I’ve been busy working for a company that designs water treatment systems, and waiting for insight and direction to emerge for my “new” blog.

As you can see, I have a new header photo (designed by my photographer and graphic designer friend, Anne’ Phillips). Besides spiritual awakening, I added “uplifting your life,” “living consciously” and “fulfilling your purpose” as the main themes. Part of this (slightly new) direction came to me from a recent, vivid dream …

Your Higher Self Speaks to You through Your Dreams

If you’ve read my blog or books in the past, you might remember that I shared some of my dreams. And you also may know that your higher self, your connection to the Divine, often speaks to you in your dreams. So, here’s a dream I had recently …

Around mid-December 2019, I had a dream where I was climbing a ladder to get to the top of it, where I reached a ledge. I got up on the ledge, which was only about 4 inches wide, and began pulling people up. But there was a problem: the people could not stay up on the ledge, because it wasn’t wide enough.

So then I needed to build a wider ledge. I dragged wood and tools up the ladder to build this wider ledge. I figured I should make the ledge at least a foot or so wider, so people could stay up on it, once they got up. I took a hammer, nails and a board and began hammering the board to widen the ledge. That’s when I woke up.

Is it a Coincidence, or a Sign from the Universe? My Hike on Tuesday

It’s been a while since I hiked. Years ago, when I was writing my books, I used to hike daily. The last few years, I’ve been working, focused on other things, and maybe like yourself, just too busy. But after a long break, I started hiking again on Monday, March 30.

On Tuesday, I went on another hike. This time, I said a long prayer, out loud, for all that we’re going through right now, for the best outcome for humanity and all of the Earth’s inhabitants. As soon as I was done with my prayer, I walked to the other side of the street, then noticed something weird. There was something under a huge log, a literal sign, and I began to pull on it. I couldn’t pull it out because the left side was stuck under a heavy log. So I bent the wires, so that anyone walking or driving by could see it and read it. I took a photo of it, it’s below …

Sign from the Universe

If you’ve read my blog posts, articles and books in the past, you might remember my article from 2008 titled, “Is it Coincidence, or a Sign from the Universe.” I’m not able to find it on Google anymore, it’s gone, but it is on the EzineArticles.com site. (I may republish it here on my blog in the near future.)

Does this mean I think everything is hunky-dory? No, actually, quite the opposite. But I do believe we are in a time (finally!) of the possibility of a great spiritual awakening. A bright and promising future is definitely a possibility, that is, if we bend the current trajectory.

Right now, things aren’t looking so great. But I’m not going to discuss here what I think about this “virus.” I have my own understanding, and have been suspicious of the mainstream narrative since day one. So I’ve been waiting for something really worthwhile to share on my blog, and yesterday I found that something.

Rather than me writing about it, I’d rather have you listen to the following two explanations, one from a decades-long health reporter (one of the greatest journalists ever, and he’s crystal-clear, too), and another from an insightful MD. I urge you to listen to all three parts of Jon’s audio, and to Dr. Cowan’s entire presentation. (The total time for both presentations is about three and a half hours.)

This short investment in time (3.5 hrs.) is really worth your while, as you might come to the conclusion, as I did, that you can now stop listening to and reading other “trusted sources” for insight into what’s going on.

Jon Rappoport Audio

Dr. Cowan Explanation

(On 4/11 I’m adding the following video as well:)

Professor of Epidemiology Knut Wittkowski

When you’re inundated with so much contradictory news, so much misinformation, you’ve got to listen to some voices of reason that make much more sense than the current popular narrative.

In addition, you’ve got to go within and activate your inner BS detector, follow your own inner guidance, and awaken to the bigger picture regarding this planet’s evolution. That is the whole point of this time.

Let me explain. Around 2001/2002 I went through a major crisis. I knew that no one or nothing outside of myself could help me through that crisis. I knew I had no other choice but to go within, deep within, and “figure this whole thing out.” The culmination of that work is the numerous articles and blog posts I wrote and shared, as well as the two books I published.

When you’re in a crisis, when you’re suffering, the potential for great change and personal growth, aka “spiritual awakening” exists. But none of this is automatic, and it’s not going to happen automatically. You must strengthen your relationship with your higher self, the part of you that has a direct connection to the Divine, Great Spirit, God, Jesus, Buddha. And you take it through, you go through the spiritual awakening process. You take it through to the end.

I don’t think we’re going to be rescued from this chaos. I mean, sure, it would be nice to have a large group of heroes working toward the planet’s liberation, but I wouldn’t necessarily count on it.

Why do I think this? Because from my own experience, being rescued is not part of Divine Plan. What’s going on is about the hero’s journey. Everyone gets to be a hero, in their own way. Because we all need to do our part in the Divine Plan.

Well, maybe there are groups of heroes, ready to fulfill their assignments, but they definitely need the help of each one of us, to help transform the consciousness of the planet.

Here’s another thing to think about before I end this post: “They” are as much a part of the Divine Plan as you or I. “They” are not pulling the strings behind the curtain, orchestrating the Divine Plan. Them pulling the strings behind the curtain is part of the Divine Plan, and they are also subject to it. The point is: Please do what you’re called to do from within, to bend the trajectory of humanity’s future!

Finally, I’d like to share from Dr. Cowan two things:

The first is, find out what it means to be human. And please, find someone less fortunate than you and help them out.

The second thing is “a Verse for Our Time” from Rudolph Steiner.

We must eradicate from the soul all fear and terror of what comes towards man out of the future.

We must acquire serenity in all feelings and sensations about the future.

We must look forward with absolute equanimity to everything that may come.

And we must think only that whatever comes is given to us by a world-directive full of wisdom.

It is part of what we must learn in this age, namely, to live out of pure trust, without any security in existence.

Trust in the ever-present help of the spiritual world.

Truly, nothing else will do if our courage is not to fail us.

And let us seek the awakening from within ourselves every morning and every evening. — Rudolph Steiner

The last word is from me: Remember, this is much, much bigger than (most people) think.

Discovering Your Life Purpose – What on Earth Are You Here For?

Share this
FacebooktwitterlinkedinFacebooktwitterlinkedinDiscover Your Life PurposeI was inspired to write this article by reading Tommie’s Spiritual Elevation Blog, namely his first blog post titled, “What on Earth Am I Here For?” It’s about his experience trying to discover his deeper life purpose by reading the second best-selling nonfiction book of all time, The Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth Am I Here For? It reminded me of my own similar, experience.

The first time I considered the idea that each of us is born with an individual, specific life purpose was in the mid-eighties, at an electronics company on Long Island. I had just graduated from college with an engineering degree, and a new friend from work named Dave suggested I check out his church, so that I could discover God’s “will for my life.”

This suggested that everyone has their own unique and specific plan, and I wanted to know mine. (Up until then, I had assumed the generic Catholic view that it’s the priests and nuns who get to have special vocations, everyone else just has a job. And that God wasn’t giving out any special assignments in this day and age.)

Before Dave revealed this new idea to me, I wasn’t aware that God had specific, detailed plans for individual people’s lives. The idea intrigued and startled me. I thought perhaps if I knew my true life plan, I’d make fewer mistakes and avoid the disasters that seemed to haunt my life.

For example, I was disillusioned with my job as a process engineer. And I was trying to let go of a bad college relationship. And the old, used Datsun I purchased for my move to Long Island had begun to break down. Plus, it had also been broken into twice, when I left it at the Huntington train station on my way to New York City. The second time the thief shattered the auxiliary window on the driver’s side and made off with my main source of entertainment then—my knitting project. (The radio had already been stolen.) Then, as if that weren’t enough, during a heavy snowstorm driving home from work my car’s windshield wipers stopped working. So I pulled over to the side, and drove my car straight into a three-foot ditch. Luckily for me, I hadn’t managed to get too far from work so I could walk there to get help. Besides all that, I didn’t have close friends or family nearby, and I wasn’t comfortable where I lived. I seriously thought it was high time to do something about my sorry car and the sorry state of my life—get a brand-new car and a brand-new life, perhaps one with a greater purpose.

But, I thought back then, just because all this bad stuff was happening didn’t mean I was going to promise to follow God’s plan precisely. I didn’t know what God had in store for me. But I was curious and open, and I thought that simply knowing this plan would make life easier and more rewarding.

Some months later, Dave shared another astonishing thing—that he was intuitive and knew I would help a lot of people someday by doing something new. The idea intrigued me—helping others seemed so admirable—but I wondered how that was going to happen given the current state of my life. Well, I had a new car by then, but other things were the same.

Besides, I didn’t know anything about this new thing I would supposedly do, so how could he, who barely knew me? Also, it’s a little disturbing when others claim to know things about you that you yourself don’t know. You wonder how and why this information has been kept from you, and if it is real. You become afraid to hear more, in case of bad news, though ultimately you know it can’t be true. But Dave seemed so sure, so smug about his prophecy.

Anyway, I developed a passion to learn more about myself and why my life was such a struggle. So out of sincere motivation to discover my true life plan I attended a few evangelic Protestant services that Dave recommended. But after a few services, after rereading the Bible with new interest and studying a couple booklets offered to me on the topic of God’s plan for individuals’ lives, my enthusiasm fizzled.

For one thing, I didn’t seem to be any closer to discovering my life plan. Also, the experience didn’t lift up my heart, and I wasn’t moved. I must sound like an awful stickler, but I remember thinking that some passages in the Bible seemed to be confused, as if something were missing. Having lived through eight years of Catholic grade school with its daily mass and religious classes, I just had expected more. After all, as people learn and grow, they’re ready for more truth and more wisdom.

The other thing was, where was the sense of humor? Biblical characters—including Jesus himself—must have had a huge sense of humor to keep themselves from going mad, and this sense of humor was completely missing.

Anyway, after not learning anything about my life purpose through Dave’s suggestions I kind of gave up on trying to discover it through the Bible, or through religious books or services. Instead, I started to attend a few personal development courses. I also quit my job on Long Island and found a job in Munich, Germany for a while. And for the first time in my life I began to feel more free, more adventurous and open. And I put the idea of discovering the “life purpose that’s sanctioned by heaven” out of my mind.

That idea remained dormant until about 15 years later, when, in 2001, I again began to experience some major challenges in my life. This time I had a family, too: a husband and two small children. And this time I could not afford to be casual in my search. Too much was at stake. I demanded real answers from heaven. I expected signs from the Universe that could not be misinterpreted. And crazy, amazing things began to happen, and consistently, when I actually followed through with my inner guidance.

I wrote two books about what I learned once I began to connect to the divine and follow through with my inner guidance. My first book came out in early 2008 and it’s a memoir of my reconnecting experience. My second book came out late in 2009, and was a “how-to” ebook on the spiritual awakening process, including how to fulfill your higher life purpose. I updated the “how-to” book recently and put it up on Amazon earlier this year. I’m sure that’s what the Divine had planned for me to do (and what Dave somehow knew, even though he didn’t know the details about it).

The following are several things I learned about our purpose, in a nutshell:

  1. Humanity has a generic higher purpose and each one of us also has our own individual, specific purpose.
  2. Our generic higher purpose on this planet was to have a fall in consciousness so that we would experience huge challenges and then, by rising above those challenges by connecting with our dormant higher consciousness and learning spiritual and life lessons through firsthand experiences we’d become true masters of our lives. This Earth experiment / experience was designed to have a noble purpose: so that we would become as compassionate, as appreciative of life and each other, and as creative (in addition to other good qualities) as is humanly possible, as quickly as possible.
  3. Our soul plans our individual higher purpose before we are born (I agree with Robert Schwartz’ work, Your Soul’s Plan) but this plan is not set in stone. It is a fluid plan, and depends on the generic divine plan and humanity’s progress with it.
  4. Most likely, we have little to no idea what our individual higher purpose is, not until we spend some time connecting with our higher self and following through with our inner guidance promptly and consistently. For example, with a degree in materials science & engineering and a master’s in environmental studies, I did not consciously plan to write books on spiritual awakening. That came later, after I experienced some huge life challenges, began to seek answers from my higher self, and had some amazing things begin to happen regularly as a result of this connection with the Divine.
  5. The Universe will offer you signs that help you find your higher purpose. That is, if you ask for them and you pay attention. (Doing this can help you distinguish your higher guidance from your ego’s desires.)
  6. Much of the guidance you receive will be on a moment-to-moment, need-to-know basis.
  7. It takes courage to find your higher purpose and fulfill it. It’s easier to simply be a cog in the wheel of the economy and just go along with things as they are. It takes courage to make changes, even those that will put humanity on the right path. But that’s what it takes for us to become true masters, such as the master that Jesus Christ was.
  8. Keeping a journal and recording your thoughts, dreams and the things that happens when you follow through with your inner guidance will help you discover your higher life purpose. And as you search for your higher purpose, your life will become more and more interesting and significant.

After going through my spiritual awakening process and viewing personal as well as world events in a new light, I am happier, more optimistic, much more at peace, and have much more compassion and understanding toward my fellow humans, as well as myself. And I definitely feel better prepared to face new challenges.

I encourage readers to begin their journey today by strengthening the relationship with their higher self and gaining confidence in that connection. The rewards are immeasurable.

FacebooktwitterlinkedinFacebooktwitterlinkedinReconnected: A Spiritual Awakening Memoir

Reconnected: A Spiritual Awakening Memoir really does reconnect, according to “Hall of Fame, Top 1000” Amazon Reviewer Dr. Joseph S. Maresca. Dr. Maresca goes on to say that, Reconnected: A Spiritual Awakening Memoir by Christine Hoeflich is an excellent book on the mechanics of tuning into the spiritual domain. Christine explains the inner self, accessing intuition and showcasing creativity.”

Reconnected explores the steps needed for strengthening the relationship with, and developing trust in, the higher self, in intuition, despite societal expectations. It lays the foundation for how readers can understand their soul’s bigger plan, and how to access Interconnectedness.

Christine said that she discovered on her journey that when people work with more than simply their will alone, they gain the support of the divine, helping miracles and magic to occur that might not have been possible through their will alone.

This Kindle book is available today, Wednesday November 2, 2016 until midnight PST time at no cost. Readers may download the eBook onto their Kindle, laptop or smartphone for free. (Amazon.com has free downloadable apps for reading Kindle books on laptops and smartphones.)

The following excerpt is just a small sample of what’s in store for the reader, from the “Superconductor” chapter:

After what had happened in merely a matter of months, I was only motivated to connect further to become an even clearer conduit of creative energy, to see what would be possible continuing on this course of listening within for guidance. I had a sense this was only the beginning and I wanted to see what was next, and how far I could go.

With a pounce onto my chest, our kitten awakened me from a dream the day I was revising this chapter. I was on my way to Alaska as a passenger in what looked like a new, comfortable European-style city bus. In my dream, I was aware that I’ve never been to Alaska, only to Canada, and I was thinking that going to Alaska would be just as easy as going to Canada.

The bus traveled through a picturesque, green valley in between beautiful snow-capped peaks, maybe ten miles from one side to the other. It reminded me of the area around Davos, Switzerland, still snowy in the higher elevations though it was almost summer. The bus meandered, switchbacking up an incline, went here and there, stopping for passengers to get on, taking its time. Impatient, I asked a woman sitting next to me how long this trip to Alaska would take.

“It’ll be around four hours,” she said.

Four hours? That was way too long for me! I wanted to get there sooner! I explained to her that if I drove my own car, it would take me only two hours. So I decided to get off public transportation and drive my own vehicle. I pulled the signal to stop and got off the bus. That’s when the cat woke me up.

So if the key to memory and the key to dreams is metaphor, was this dream telling me to forgo mass transportation or public direction and follow my own, to power up my vehicle and drive up the spiral of evolution? Furthermore, I got that Alaska doesn’t have to be viewed as some destination or end point because in reality, once you get to Alaska, there’s a whole new, big wonderful state to explore.

With a new level of enthusiasm I began to do a second meditation (a grounding meditation) to strengthen my connection with the heavenly dimension and with my environment, so as to help clarify and completely unveil my mission for this lifetime. (The “heart and soul” meditation described earlier in this book connects you to your inner core, while this grounding meditation helps to further strengthen the “vertical” connection of the above with the below.)

At least twice a day, I practiced a simple three-to-ten minute exercise for this purpose, an exercise slightly modified from one I had learned in the Soul Recognition Workshop.

Standing with my feet shoulder-width apart, my hands hanging loosely at my sides, my knees slightly bent, my eyes closed, and exhaling slowly, I’d imagine energy or sunlight flowing from the sun (or source, or the dimensions above) down to the top of my head, entering my body at the crown of my head and going down through my body in a line as straight and as coherent as a laser beam, down my spine all the way through to the bottom of my feet, to the core of the earth. Then inhaling slowly I’d imagine this energy reflect back up from the center of earth, through the bottom of my feet and the rest of my body to the top of my head and back up to the sun, or the higher dimensions. I would repeat this several times, imagining the energy or light flowing up and then down; inhale energy going up, exhale energy going down, with a short pause at each endpoint, and sometimes as long as I could hold it. (Alternatively, I sometimes imagined this energy going out to the universe with each out-breath and coming back into my inner core with each in-breath.)

I’d do this exercise expecting the connection to both my physical environment and to the heavenly or angelic realms strengthen and the energy to flow in between with more clarity and ease. This grounding exercise, as well as paying attention to my inner voice throughout the day, helped deepen the connection to the interconnectedness and made the inner guidance clearer. It was a simple practice I could do anywhere, but it seemed to do the job. –excerpt from Reconnected: A Spiritual Awakening Memoir

Christine is seeking more awareness and more reviews for her book, and the Amazon eBook free day is one way to help spread that awareness.

Dr. Joseph S. Maresca finishes his review by writing, “Overall, Christine’s book covers the intuitive side of being in a way that few psychology, philosophy or theology books succeed in doing rationally.”

Top 10 Reasons to Connect with Your Higher Self

Share this
FacebooktwitterlinkedinFacebooktwitterlinkedinYour Higher SelfThere are many good reasons to connect with, and strengthen your relationship with, your higher self. As you’re probably aware, your higher self is also known as your soul, your true self, your authentic self, your inner being, and your access point to God, Spirit, Infinity, the Divine. The top ten reasons to connect with your higher self, in no particular order of importance, are listed below.

1. To discover your higher life purpose.

Everyone has a higher life purpose that we are to fulfill during this time of rapid spiritual awakening and transformation. The way you discover your higher purpose is by developing a deeper, clearer and stronger relationship with your higher self. The “map” or “blueprint” to your higher life purpose is within you and your higher self will guide you on whatever your next step is.

2. To rev up your intuition.

Nothing increases your intuition better than connecting with and paying attention to your higher self. Your higher self will help guide you on your daily path, and you’ll experience more favorable synchronicities. This means whatever you need so that you can fulfill the next step of your higher life purpose will show up for you.

Want to gain confidence in your intuition? Cultivate a strong relationship with your higher self. Want to activate your spiritual awakening? Cultivate a strong relationship with your higher self. Want to see glimpses of your higher life purpose? Cultivate a strong relationship with your higher self. Want to gain confidence in yourself? … You get the picture.

3. To gain access to your wisdom from all time.

Your soul is infinite–meaning it’s been around forever. You’ve probably had many, many lifetimes. You can gain access to that wisdom you’ve acquired by reconnecting within and paying attention to that inner part of you.

When you strengthen your relationship with your higher self, you’ll begin to receive in the present moment the wisdom from all your past lives, all aspects of yourself, and your innate wisdom will become increasingly available to you now.

4. To clear your karma and make sense of your life and “soul contracts” with others.

When you strengthen your relationship with your higher self, you’ll begin to understand your life and your soul agreements with others from the perspective of the higher self–which will heal and transform your life. You will then be truly, authentically grateful for having gone through your process (your life path and how it helped you grow). Almost nothing feels better than gratitude when it’s authentic.

5. To restore inner balance, wholeness and peace.

Your soul is the place from where you restore right- and left-brain balance and wholeness (“lower level” human consciousness comes together with “higher level” or “divine” consciousness). After you strengthen your relationship with your higher self, you’ll also notice the constant chattering in your head will diminish greatly (if not completely) and the battles that sometimes occur in your mind will diminish.

6. To finally realize your potential.

The energy of your soul is the energy of your potential. (Your potential includes your innate wisdom, and your unique gifts and abilities.)  When you strengthen your relationship with your higher self, you’ll create a life that you’ll actually love to live.

7. To access Interconnectedness and all its gifts.

When you strengthen your relationship with your higher self, you’ll connect with Interconnectedness and receive its gifts. This means you’ll experience more flow in your life, more favorable and amazing synchronicities, a sense of perfect timing, greater cooperation with the people in your life, as well as new insights that help increase your understanding of life. These are considered the gifts of Interconnectedness. And when you benefit, so will everyone and everything else around you–as everyone and everything is connected to you through the Interconnectedness.

8. To jump start your spiritual awakening and “Ascension process”

When you strengthen your relationship with your higher self, you’ll raise your awareness, awaken spiritually, and expand (“ascend”) your consciousness.  In fact, you’ll begin to see the world from a higher perspective, as if you had the perspective of God. After all, your higher self is a fragment of God.

When you begin to see the world from this higher perspective, your behaviors and habits will change, even those habits you’ve had a hard time changing up until that point.

9. To work with more than just your will alone.

When you strengthen your relationship with your higher self, you’ll be working with more than just your will alone. You’ll have the support of Divine will. Which means that miracles and magic will occur that aren’t possible through your will alone.

Your higher self has access to the larger Divine Plan. By fulfilling your role in the Divine Plan (by fulfilling your higher life purpose), you’ll help bring about the Golden Age for humanity.

10. To finally experience true happiness.

It’s true. When you strengthen your relationship with your higher self, you’ll finally experience true happiness. And that’s because your higher self will be getting expressed in the world. (If your soul doesn’t get expressed in the world, you won’t experience much happiness.)

Plus, when you begin to understand what’s really going on here on Earth, the higher perspective of what’s going on, God’s view, that alone will bring you tons of joy.

So these are the top 10 reasons why it’s worth your while to strengthen your relationship with your higher self.Share this

Intuition and Safety—How Intuition Can Help Keep Your Child Safe

Share this
FacebooktwitterlinkedinFacebooktwitterlinkedinIntuition and SafetyCan your intuition and connection with your higher self help keep you and your children safe? I believe the answer is a resounding yes, and I’m writing this article in response to MaryEllen Tribby’s heartfelt post about the three dreadful events that happened in Orlando mid-June, particularly the tragic death of two-year-old Lane Graves.

In her article titled, “Stop the Blaming and Shaming: Overcoming Tragedies Together,” MaryEllen Tribby’s focus was on the two-year-old boy who was attacked and killed by an alligator at one of Disney’s finest hotels and how his parents must now feel. Especially with so many, through social media, blaming and shaming the parents for their son’s tragic loss.

Being the parent of three children herself, MaryEllen recounts how she was lucky there were no cars driving by when her two-year-old girl darted into the parking lot while she was grabbing her briefcase from the front seat of her car. Or the time her toddler son smacked face-first onto the parking lot from her SUV, as she moved away the shopping cart.

MaryEllen writes that children do not come with an owner’s manual and we cannot hold them in our laps until they’re 18. She’s grateful her own split-second mistakes did not result in tragedy. Which is why, she says, instead of blaming and shaming the parents who have suffered the loss of their children, let’s offer them love and support.

But There’s Something More Parents Can Do

I agree with MaryEllen. But I also want to add there is something more we as parents can do to help keep our children safe: We can strengthen the relationship with our higher self (our soul—which is our connection with the Universe, Everything There Is, God) and follow our intuition, promptly and consistently. We actually can use the innate power within us that hardly anyone knows about … least of all, how to develop it.

I have two children of my own, an 18-year-old and a 21-year-old, and I’ll share some examples where my intuition helped keep my children safe.

Three Real-Life Examples …

When my younger daughter Julianne was between three and four months old, I placed her in one of those bouncy seats and put her on the broad kitchen counter while I unloaded the dishwasher one morning. Bouncy seats are designed for babies between three and six months old, and she lay back, playing with the spinning toys attached to the bouncy seat.

I was putting food containers away when I heard a strange noise, like the sound you’d expect a baby to make if she were in a roller coaster and her stomach dropped. I spun around instantly and caught her and the bouncy seat in my arms. She had bounced off the top rack of the dishwasher, straight into my arms.

I can’t even begin to imagine what would have happened had I not turned around in time. I heard some babies have died when dropped from several feet. (Note to parents and grandparents: Never ever put your baby in a bouncy seat on an elevated surface.)

Another time when Julianne was two, she, her sister Angelika and I went out the back gate of our house to the association pool. Angelika and I were loaded down with towels, swim noodles and other gear, allowing Julianne to slip away and get to the pool first. By the time I got there, less than 10 seconds later, she was nowhere to be seen.

First I did a quick scan of the pool but didn’t see her. I called her name “Julianne, Julianne!” and did a 360º around the landscaped area but didn’t see her there, either. Then I stood silent by the pool and became aware of a chill creeping down my spine. The next thing I “heard” in my head was, “eagle eye, pretend you have the vision of an eagle.” I scanned the pool again carefully and this time, saw a little hand coming out of the pool on the far, deep end. I rushed over and grabbed her hand and she was fine.

The third example is more recent, when Julianne was 14. It was early in her freshman high school year, a Friday night, and she was sleeping over at a girlfriend’s house. I kept in texting contact with her—until around 10:30 pm when she stopped texting back. Feeling something wasn’t right about our conversation, I went out to go look for her. But neither she nor her friend were at the friend’s house. And neither did they answer their phones. I called my older daughter Angelika (who was 17 then) and told her to help find her sister.

Then the friend’s parent and I walked down the street to a third girl’s house where they were all supposed to be—at least that’s what he was told. But they weren’t there, either. And as we walked back I got an alert that someone on my cell phone plan had just called 911.

I called Julianne’s friend, who answered because she didn’t recognize my number. After some discussion, we got the address of the party they attended a few blocks away. By the time we got there, several police cars lined the street and 20 to 30 teenagers sat on the curb, awaiting their parents’ arrival.

I called Angelika, who told me she had Julianne with her. It turned out someone at the party had already texted Angelika to come get her sister as she had a few beers and was puking in the bathtub. Angelika found out the party was given by a 17-year-old boy whose parents were away for the weekend. Then as she helped Julianne to the car she thought to herself, This is wrong. That’s when she called the police.

What To Pay Attention To

As a parent, you must be vigilant and act promptly when you hear odd, unexpected noises, receive intuitive thoughts or impressions, or get the subtle feeling that something isn’t right.

It’s also important to teach your children to listen to their intuition. Every time they ignore their intuition they weaken their relationship with their higher self, put themselves at risk, and even give up their power. Preteen and teenage girls in particular experience this.

Teach Your Teen, Too.

Teach your teen to pay attention to that little feeling in the pit of her stomach or that quiet, still voice that says, “Maybe I shouldn’t be doing this” when someone tries to talk her into doing something not in her best interest. Girls give up their power to boys all the time and regret it later. And when they ignore their intuition, they diminish their relationship with their higher self and their innate power.

It’s clear to me that listening to your intuition will help keep your children safe. In fact, when I was writing my first book, and in constant intuitive flow, I received the strong impression that strengthening the relationship with our higher self absolutely helps to keep us and our children safe.

Besides, God, the Divine, has another motive. When you’re following your inner guidance you’re helping to create a new world, a world that works for everyone (well, that is the Divine Plan …). Which means your spirit guides will want to keep you around so that you can actually fulfill that mission!

To strengthen the relationship with your higher self, follow the steps in the Quick Start Guide available on this blog. And if you have a story to share, an example of when you followed your intuition and it helped keep you or your child safe, please share it in the comment section below. Thank you!Share this

Pope Francis’ Year of Mercy: Jesus Christ’s Mission is Accomplished

Share this
FacebooktwitterlinkedinFacebooktwitterlinkedinPope Francis Year of MercyAt the Catholic funeral mass at my Mom’s funeral a week and a half ago, I picked up the Polish-English Catholic prayer book and read an excerpt from the back cover that was written by Pope Francis last year. Pope Francis describes the current year of December 8, 2015 through November 20, 2016 as the “Jubilee Year of Mercy:”

‘The Jubilee year will close with the liturgical Solemnity of Christ the King on 20 November 2016. On that day … we shall be filled, above all, with a sense of gratitude and thanksgiving … for having granted us an extraordinary time of grace… How much I desire that the year to come will be steeped in mercy, so that we can go out to every man and woman, bringing the goodness and tenderness of God! May the balm of mercy reach everyone, both believers and those far away, as a sign that the Kingdom of God is already present in our midst!”-Pope Francis, “Misericordiae Vultus” (“The Face of Mercy”)

Indeed, I’ve been writing for a while now that the Kingdom of God is already present in our midst, and I will explain what I mean by that. I’ll also explain why an awakened heart is required to truly get this, as well as what is required for one to awaken, as certainly from the surface level of consciousness and existence the world doesn’t look all that heavenly at the moment. In fact, from the surface level perspective, many would argue that the Kingdom of God is far from here, and many are still waiting for the rapture, or for “the end of the world when all souls shall rise from the dead,” or for some other transcendental, ethereal state to arrive through some sort of divine intervention.

But listen up. The only divine intervention that will occur here is the one that happens when you cultivate a strong relationship with your higher self and follow through with your soul’s guidance, your inner guidance, promptly and consistently-which is what Christ had done. This is also what is required in order for you to awaken and it’s how you access the Kingdom of God (both the inner and the outer Kingdoms).

Two thousand years ago, Jesus Christ accomplished the mission he had set for himself. He was able to accomplish his mission by cultivating a strong connection with his Higher Self (his connection with God, to the “Father”), conducting his life in such a way that his Higher Self was in the “driver’s seat,” and following through with his inner guidance promptly and consistently.

The Scriptures contain many examples of Christ connecting to spirit and then following through with his higher guidance. In fact, one time Christ spent 40 days alone, in the desert, so he could connect within and be with his “Father,” before gaining the clarity and strength needed to go on with the rest of his life’s work.

Yes, Jesus had a choice back then (well, sort of …). He could have simply gone along with the establishment and not made any waves. But he chose to spend 40 days in “the desert,” in meditation and communion with spirit. Then he chose to go through with where his guidance was taking him.

Why? Because the world was full of ignorance and the people-whom he loved with all his heart and soul-suffered greatly because of this ignorance. (Yep, there wasn’t much of a choice there for him at all … )

And after that, the world was never again the same.

Now, two thousand years later, it’s our turn to cultivate a strong relationship with our higher self (our connection with God, with the “Father”), conduct our lives in such a way such that our higher self is in the driver’s seat, and follow through with our inner guidance (the promptings of our higher self, of our spirit) promptly and consistently, too.

In other words, it’s time for us to fulfill Christ’s legacy.

Some would argue that this is impossible, because we live on a planet of spiritual teenagers. But the truth is, following Christ’s example is how spiritual teenagers transform themselves into spiritual adults.

They do this by first cultivating a strong relationship with their higher self, and then they conduct their lives in such a way so that their higher self (their authentic self, their soul) is in the “driver’s seat.” Of course, part of this process includes following through with their inner guidance promptly and consistently, just as Jesus Christ had done.

Following Christ’s example and perhaps attending a youth ministry program could be one way to transform ourselves from spiritual teenagers into spiritual adults. Following Christ’s example is how we “return to God.” It’s how we gain access to God’s grace. (The “mercy” Pope Francis refers to again and again.) And following Christ’s example is how we’ll resolve the many issues of this planet, and it is how Christ’s vision for a Heaven on Earth (the outer Kingdom of God), will finally be made manifest. Because Heaven on Earth can’t exist on a planet full of spiritual teenagers.

How many spiritual teenagers are still waiting for Christ to return to Earth in the flesh, to take those who believe in him (and in his connection to God) up into Heaven with him? How many believers are still waiting to be swooped up and taken up into “Heaven” simply because of their belief in Christ’s connection to God, or their belief in his divinity, or their recitation of specific prayers? How long will they continue to wait, while ignoring Christ’s example and teachings? How long will they choose to remain ignorant?

I assert that Jesus Christ has already accomplished his mission, his work is already done, and in order for you to see this (including seeing that the Kingdom of God is already present in your midst) you must simply follow in Christ’s footsteps and actually strengthen the relationship with your Higher Self, with your own heart and soul-your direct connection with God. Because let’s face it, there are some things you get only through action and firsthand experience, not through recitation of doctrine, theorization, belief, cogitation, book learning-as Christ’s own disciples had eventually come to realize. This is one of them.Share this
