Grace may touch your life in subtle ways: You have a serious car accident, but walk away unharmed. You get the job you want and meet your life partner. You find the right doctor who saves your life. Everyday there is evidence of grace touching people’s lives. When you acknowledge it and express gratitude, it becomes your companion.
Grace is available to you in times of challenge: You hesitate to make an important decision; your money is running out, or your cancer is spreading. As you hit the inner wall, you decide to ask for help because you have gone as far as you can go. When you give the situation over to grace, you create the opening through which Love enters. You may receive insights, assistance or healing.
As you allow grace to lift you beyond ignorance, lack and suffering, you are helping the ego relinquish its perceived control of outcomes. Each time grace takes you through another barrier, the ego learns that the process works. Someone or something greater than itself is in charge. The ego learns that it can breathe under water; it can trust and be guided. It begins to participate in the co-creative process with the Self.
You may get discouraged because you cannot control when grace touches your life. At times it may lift you, and at other times it appears that you are on your own. The ego begins to doubt. But, if you continue to believe and work with this divine resource, you doubt less and trust more.
Grace is not only here to rescue you, but to reunite you with the Self—your Higher Power. In alignment with your true divine nature, you become a beacon of light and truth to others—an instrument of grace.

Blog 32 – Grace: Divine Love in Action
Grace is essential for human beings to complete the process of personal transformation. The ego is limited in how much it can love, how much it can release, and how much it can trust the unknown. It has difficulty surviving the void and patiently waiting for reinforcements to arrive. Grace lifts the ego out of human struggle and resistance long enough for it to witness the miracle of acceptance, wholeness and freedom.
Grace smashes through the barriers that keep you separate, alone and afraid. It is a powerful awareness that unites and reconciles you with yourself, others, life and God. It is the thunderbolt that pierces your heart, clears your mind and reconnects you with true power. It restores peace and harmony to your entire being--body, mind and soul. All is right when you are immersed in moments of grace.
After being touched in this profound way by Love, you can never be the same. Although you may retreat to your old ways, you are different. You may even doubt that a stroke of grace ever happened. But once grace has touched you, the awareness of this possibility is within you. You may not be able to control when grace uplifts and energizes you. But, you can trust that grace will visit you again when the time is right.
Grace enters by invoking it through prayer or receiving it spontaneously. Right now grace is a possibility for you and your life. Be open and claim this divine gift even though you do not know how or when you will be blessed. As you learn to cultivate this connection and turn grace into a valuable spiritual resource, you will be guided and protected through challenging times. Eventually, divine Love will take up residence in your heart, and grace will become your constant companion.

Blog 31 – Absolute Awareness
Absolute awareness fills the still empty mind—a mind free of thoughts and judgments. In this state of awareness no thought limits you. Conscious and aware you tap into a dimension of your being which is eternal and unlimited. This nonlocal presence descends and fills your body and mind as you let go of attachment to the world of form. In those moments of transcendence, you know you are in the world, but you are also a part of the formless Creative Source.
Encountering the Absolute you find no separation between yourself and the Creative Source. This reunion dissolves the boundaries of the ego as well as the Higher Self. As long as you are a “self” you are in form. The way back to the Creator is ultimately through the formless. Taking your focus off the world of form, you will discover the peace and potential from which you and the world were created. This Source of all creation is pure awareness and energy.
As you relinquish mental and emotional patterns that keep you separated from Source, you begin to live this stillness. Peace replaces the inner turmoil and striving that comes from controlling outcomes and making judgments. As you develop the ability to be aware, you will be more present and accept what is. You will not resist but know when to take charge and when to allow. You will remain connected to the formless while doing your best to accomplish your intentions in the world of form. You will live in both worlds and reap the benefits of both.
This journey to the Absolute is traveled by the curious, adventuresome and persistent. It is for those who are willing to look beyond the world of form for truth. When you enter the formless dimension of Source, you dissolve into the bliss of nothing that is something.

Blog 30 - Alignment
Your thoughts and beliefs may create blind spots to personal and universal truths. More important, they separate you from your divine essence—the Authentic Self. If you allow the ego to dictate your reality, you remain out of alignment with your highest potential. But, if you become a curious observer, you will remain open and non-attached to being right or having a specific outcome. As a witness, you will be guided into alignment with your divine perfection.
Alignment is at work when people are in the right place at the right time and results are accomplished with ease and grace. Personal alignment places individuals in the creative energy flow. Once the way is open, positive opportunities come to individuals and desired outcomes occur consistently. When an individual’s actions are in alignment with a greater good, the results may have positive consequences for generations.
You become aligned when you integrate these psychic polarities: The inside and outside, spiritual and human, masculine and feminine, and individual and collective. Your alignment is also associated with living your values, purpose, talents and core truths. In times of alignment, you and your life feel harmonious and full. Perfection is always present and possible in the moments you feel connected to your Higher Power.
The process of co-creating becomes effortless when you allow truth to lead the way. You live from your potential and accomplish outcomes using the powerful forces of love and harmony. Aligned with the Self, you participate in miracles. Grace is your constant companion.

Blog 29 – The Work
You do not become the observing witness in a day, week or year. The process of observing develops over time; it requires commitment and work. Self-discovery and self-mastery lead you to this enlightened state of being. As a witness, you observe without judgments and remain non-attached to outcomes.
You become aligned with truth by eliminating the emotional and mental patterns that limit you. As you face your deficits, take action to rectify them and open your heart to grace, you become a channel of unlimited potential. You become realigned with the love, power, peace and wisdom of the Self.
When you are up against a stubborn pattern, you may feel as though you are having a break down. The obstacle feels insurmountable. When you cannot go any further on your own, you are on the verge of a break through. This part of the process is emotionally painful and draining. But, if you persist and trust the power of grace, you soon discover you are not alone. Grace enters and enables you to break free of an addictive pattern that blinds you to truth, causes you suffering and limits your success.
In those moments of accepting yourself, others and life unconditionally, grace may bring you an epiphany. This insight removes a blind spot and expands your awareness. Each time you face yourself or a situation with an attitude of total acceptance, you are free to perceive truth.
The work of transformation involves clearing distortions and barriers. As you align yourself with the Self, you are able to observe instead of judge; allow instead of control. The ego steps aside, and the Self to leads the way.

Blog 28 - The Knowing Mind
Your mind is affected when intuitive insights enter your awareness. Electrical impulses light up the brain and expand your awareness. When the lid is taken off the thinking mind for a brief moment, you connect with your ability to know. If you are able to sense the subtle energies within your body, you will feel this shift. The “ah ha” moment brings with it a change: Your mind and body may feel open, lighter, clearer, still or energized.
New pathways within the brain are being formed as a result of this process. These pathways change how your brain works. The left and right hemispheres of the brain become balanced and integrated. Eventually, you will perceive and think with your whole brain—the logical and intuitive. Knowing takes you beyond the barriers of limited thinking. It connects you with the unlimited creative potential of Universal Intelligence.
You deepen the knowing mind with each insight, creative idea or epiphany you receive. Your brain and body are being transformed when you allow yourself to know from a deeper place within your being. You are building a new consciousness.
Still the thinking mind and be aware. Live your life from what you know. You will become your best, live your truth and accomplish the extraordinary. You will live a life filled with authenticity and personal fulfillment.

This discontent can lead to constructive change if you have the courage to be aware and take risks.
