We believe that by initiating dialogue and a conscious understanding and recognition that we are all interconnected, we can subsequently affect change and create a call to action for an awakening of our true selves. In truth, we are all connected; we are all one. It is with this in mind that the Awaken to One Alliance has been formed.

I may not have shared this before, not sure if it had ever come up in any of my earlier posts, but apart from what I do for a living, my true passion is that of a professional musician.  I play a few instruments, and among my favorites is the saxophone, especially tenor and soprano.  I love the way it responds to me as I play, the resonance of the sound through my body as I blow through the

As I peak my head out from the bunker to try and catch a few rays, I log back in with family, friends and my many fellow travelers who’ve been so supportive during this hiatus. I reconnect now with all of you to simply say, “Hello, I’m back”. Thank you all for your love, understanding and support, both online and off. It’s been quite a tumultuous year so far, but of course, I don’t need to

In my last entry I talked about the importance of remaining vigilant in ones daily quest for spiritual balance and enlightenment; that Heaven must be re-won everyday. As we move directly into the celebration of the birth of the Christ child, it is worth noting that this wonderful being, this Christ consciousness known as Jesus (Yeshua) who was incarnated so long ago to bring light and love to the

I have a humble confession to make. These last few weeks and months have been a bit of a struggle. Certainly my issues are no different than the billions of Souls on this earth today dealing as best they can with the pervasive stresses that society has imposed. From economic uncertainty, joblessness, home foreclosures and depreciations, to rising healthcare costs, disease, the threat of terrorism

I’ve been on hiatus for a bit, not so much to relax as to introspectively contemplate, immersing myself into the wisdom of the cosmos. One must remember that in spiritual growth there is always a plus element to enlightenment; that is, there is always more to learn and as we exist in eternity we will never stop learning, never stop growing. With that, my focus of late has been very much on the

Angels, archangels, saints, guides, ascended masters, these many wondrous entities and archetypes have captivated our collective imagination and consciousness for eons, creating strong fascinations with spirituality, belief in miracles, and a magnified inner longing for connection with Source. They have served as the personifications of religious and spiritual perfection, and templates for our

On this auspicious day known as Earth Day, I wanted to take a moment to pay sincere love and gratitude for this wonderful planet we all live on. Earth is indeed a living thing and our continued existence here is not a guarantee, unless we all do our part to make this world a better, healthier, and happier place. This includes being mindful and respectful of the many resources contained within the

I’m sure you’ve all heard the longstanding example that’s been articulated when trying to convey the importance of taking care of yourself first before you can take care of others. This analogy refers to the in-flight safety checklist performed by flight attendants prior to the take-off of a commercial airline.

From time to time, I come across stories of inspiration and/or enlightenment that strike me as incredible examples of spiritual truth. The following story is one such example. It's been making the viral e-mail rounds here of late, but I found it powerful enough to include in my own archives as well.

There is a phrase that goes “Heaven must be re-won everyday.” What this speaks to is the importance of not resting on your laurels, to not simply coast on the momentum of past spiritual and creative expression, but to re-engage everyday with a fresh sense of purpose and spiritual commitment. It also means consistently reevaluating your state of consciousness on a daily basis, because our

While going through some old texts and correspondences, I came across a much beloved saying by Mother Teresa that I forgot I had. Upon reading it again, it strikes a chord as strong, if not stronger, as when I first found it. So I felt it was definitely worth sharing with all of you out of love and sincere gratitude: Do It Anywayby Mother TeresaPeople are often unreasonable, illogical, And

Normalcy is relative. It’s dependent upon what one accepts and/or becomes familiar with in his/her daily life. It is often consistent with what one becomes conditioned to allow into his/her state of consciousness over time. Conditioning is in a major way at the heart our collective experience, and is perhaps one of the biggest contributors to our current world situation and existence on this

Creating your universe in accordance with both your individual state of consciousness and sincere intention requires a combination of spiritual energy and personal effort. The formula is not that difficult to understand or even execute, but takes a certain level of discipline, consistency and daily focus that some of us may or may not be willing to exert.

As seekers of the light, as awakened Souls, part of our ongoing exercise during this lifetime is to refine our personal levels of awareness and spiritual skill sets in order to become optimal channels for Divine love. Within this refinement comes an innate understanding that where your thoughts are will invariably be where you reside. To put it another way, our personal universe is determined by

After posting my earlier homage to Mario, I received this heartfelt correspondence from his loving wife Betty, and felt that it deserved much greater prominence than a simple blog response. So I would like to share with all of you this spiritually enlightened introspection from her.

I just received word that a good friend and spiritual brother of mine, Mario, has transitioned to a higher realm. His passing was sudden but as I understand it, serene, despite having been fatally wounded from a fall he suffered in Brazil. His loving companion, Betty, is coping with the loss the best way she can, and is now in the comfort of friends and family support. While she is completely

First and foremost, what an amazingly breathtaking movie Avatar is. Director James Cameron (of Titanic fame) has, in my opinion, really raised the bar for what the future of movie viewing will now be. This is a real game changer. The cinematic beauty and visual detail alone fills the senses in a way not quite experienced before. Add to this the element of 3D and you have a paradigm-shifting film.

Even though we live in the world of illusion, it can still really cut like a knife sometimes. Life is tricky; it’s all about choices, and the decisions a person makes at any given moment may have repercussions that go far beyond what was intended. Over eons of time, we have developed a somewhat useful yet potentially problematic ability to compartmentalize the things in our lives, separating one

As we move ever closer as a collective consciousness towards ascension and awakening, it is of vital importance that we understand clearly and definitively that we are the change that we seek. For far too long the Souls of this earth have been conditioned into believing that we have no control over our destiny, and our fate lies in the hands of someone or something outside of ourselves.

In my recent article entitled Understanding the Shift, I spoke of a heightened change of perceptual awareness coming to mankind through an evolution of consciousness, caused by a rise in the vibrational rate of existence to a higher density; a higher polarity. With it, an inevitable change is taking place. All of the many distant Utopian ideals that we dare not dream, but wish in our hearts of

Not too long ago I did a blog article entitled Situational Awareness, which described the exercise and practice of a heightened awareness that came as an outgrowth of the refined and growing vibrational rate currently affecting our world at this time, and the resulting shift in enlightenment this higher vibration causes.

There has been much discussion and shared insight over the last few years regarding the concept of the Law of Attraction. It is indeed a very powerful concept that once grasped, can and will serve any individual with the power and means to manifest anything they may want in life. Many books have been written on the subject and documentaries such as What the (bleep) Do We Know? and The Secret have

The movement and momentum towards enlightened consciousness on a mass scale continues. The old paradigm of fear-based thinking is falling away and a new more love-centric, connected awareness is flowing through more and more awakened Souls with every passing day. In addition, our collective ability to create our own realities through the laws of attraction is occurring with much greater fluidity.

I’ve been noticing for a while now that when it’s time for bed, regardless of when I might go to sleep for the night I seem to wake up at specific periods of the early morning, usually anywhere between 3:30 and 5:30 am (no, it’s not to go to the bathroom…not always). This wake-up period seems to usually be accompanied by a highly charged mental state where my mind is ripe and ready to receive

I’ve been off the grid, out of commission for the past several days now. As some of my friends and colleagues have jokingly put it, the pig got me. I’ve contracted the swine flu. I’ve got to tell you at the outset that this is one nasty little bug. Unlike other flues that I’ve picked up over my lifetime, this one hits quickly and tends to linger, rendering you insanely weak, dizzy and somewhat

This article comes with a great deal of forethought and contemplation, for it is a subject that brings with it a high degree of controversy, not to mention outright denial by much of the general public. Recent events however, have made it abundantly clear that it is now time to begin accepting the truth of this phenomenon, and in the spirit of NPT, New Paradigm Thinking, start making this a

The change is upon us. The shift is happening as we speak, from divisiveness and separation, to spiritual solidarity and connectedness. Despite the outward signs and negative stimulus of economic strife, world political tensions, and environmental upheavals, evolution of consciousness is happening on a mass scale. With this new transition into a more spiritually enlightened consciousness is a

We’re living in troubled times right now. As optimistic a picture as many experts, pundits, and governmental officials are trying to paint our current situation, the road ahead looks to be a long, tough, and arduous one. Economic indicators such as escalating unemployment wavering between 9% and 11% nationwide, growing inflation, the slow turnaround in the housing market with some banks only

I have been talking for some time now about awakening to one’s own divinity, to the realization that we are all Divine sparks of God awareness; that in fact we are all Source energy itself, individuated and self aware. Within the context of this awakening comes a few interesting perks. These perks include a conscious and growing recognition that we now control our destiny and fate by virtue of

Everything that happens to you is due to you. These are tough words to reconcile for some, and in many ways hard to fathom for others, but from the standpoint of divine spiritual understanding they are absolutely true. We create our own universes by virtue of what we think and the emotional energy we project. Our thoughts have energy and that energy goes out into the ethers with the express

Good day my fellow Awakened Souls. Forces bent on keeping the masses asleep and caught up in the daily chaos of divisiveness between our fellow beings are continuing to wreak havoc all over the world(s). Your mission (should you decide to accept it) is to switch on your internal light and awaken to a clear understanding of who and what you are, Soul. You are then given the important task of

Last week I was listening to a fascinating interview on NPR featuring former Indianapolis Colts head coach, Tony Dungy. The subject of the discussion was about Michael Vick, former quarterback of the Atlanta Falcons who was arrested, convicted and sentenced for dog fighting charges and inhumane treatment of animals. Dungy spoke of how he met Vick during an exhibition game some years ago between

God energy, for all intent and purposes, is a neutral force. It is an intelligent force, but contrary to traditional religious dogma and belief, it is not concerned with outcome in the way we have been conditioned to think. The energy exists for life-force sustenance and to be used both consciously and unconsciously for the purpose of manifestation; ignorance of the law of attraction is no excuse

As you head to the bus stop, a clear mental impression comes to you, “You left your wallet on the dresser.” Immediately you check to find out that your wallet is missing. You run back to the residence and get your wallet, hoping you’re not late for work.Scenario 2: You’re driving in your car not sure where you’re going, but you

When one makes the conscious decision to live a spiritual life, a conscious life where you start to become more of the observer and co-creator of your own personal universe and less a victim and pawn, the pursuit of spiritual lessons become ever more important. When ready, these lessons serve as the building blocks for enlightenment as they slowly reveal themselves to you. We then begin to take

As we celebrate the life of Michael Jackson, my thoughts are concentrated on the many hits that this musical genius had given all of us over the years. Two songs in particular, Man In the Mirror, and Black or White resonate with me more than most because of the important messages contained in them. Man in the Mirror focuses on the importance of growth and personal reflection, and how a shift in

This is a discussion about love; love in its purest form, love that seeks nothing in return. I’m talking about unconditional love (e.g. love without condition). There are many forms of love, or at least feelings often misconstrued as love, but are nothing more than marginal subsets of the true divine energy. The love between a man and woman (or variations thereof) can be a deep, abiding and

Earlier this week, I sent out a Tweet (on Twitter) that stated, “A rigid mind is a self-containing prison. Seek truth in all directions.” I felt compelled to write this because in my daily ritual of capturing the pulse of the world’s consciousness with it’s many levels, I’ve become more and more aware and concerned at the rigidity of fixed belief systems (of all kinds) and their inability to

There is an esoteric school of thought that states that the attainment of wisdom negates the need for karma; an intriguing notion to say the least. But how true is it with respect to the laws of karma and the subtle balance of enlightenment and universal truth? Most people understand karma as the law of cause and effect; what goes around comes around; you must reap what you sow; or for every

Belief not only serves as a catalyst for manifestational change, it is the very foundation for ones personal universal structure within an inner and outer spiritual cosmology. Within this cosmology is the structural underpinning of ones life and attitudes towards his/her surroundings, and how life is often perceived within the framework of this belief system. It is the grist for the mill of a

Belief is such a powerful thing. Its double-edge sword of manifestational potential is simply incredible. You and you alone wield the power within your reality, but you must understand how it works in accordance with the laws of the universe. In Part I, I attempted to give you an integrated perspective into the mechanism of this force known as the law of attraction, and provide for you a simple

Napoleon Hill and other scholars often used or expressed sentiments based on the phrase, “Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” This idea goes quite a long way in identifying the construct of our physical existence and existential outflow. Within this construct though, is an antecedent that is equally compelling and powerful. If we look at this phrase from its opposite

The phrase “Quantum Leap” has become a somewhat overused part of our social vernacular during the past several years. As such, the use of this term has become synonymous with major change, exponential growth, even a dimensional shift. While these generic references may perhaps provide a cursory glimpse into what it implies, in truth it is much more subtle and malleable than this. As just stated,

After receiving a number of interesting comments from my last entry (Realign Your God Settings), I thought it might be a good idea to continue on this consciousness track a bit further. I will indeed be discussing in future dialogues a lot of things related to this idea of making sure we are all in vibrational alignment with Spiritual energy so as to benefit from its healing force.

Ponder this concept for a bit; we are all Divine Sparks of God essence sent down into the lower spiritual worlds for the express purpose of gaining experience and remembering who and what we are as Soul in order to make the journey back home to our Divine origins of Source energy, or God. In this journey we are given everything we need to successfully make the trek back and forth, including the

Our world today is so fixated on material wealth and possession, that in many ways it has become the new religion. I say this because in so many instances it is the driving force for one’s motivation, identity, self worth, and measure of success; it is perceived by many that money is the key to happiness. The drive for the almighty dollar has created a dog-eat-dog mentality awash in Machiavellian

Most people when asked about what is the opposite of love will more than likely proclaim it to be hate. Logical response; it certainly seems to represent the opposite polarity of energy. But while this pat answer is understandable, it is in fact inaccurate.

When the light bulb comes on and we begin to awaken into a conscious understanding of our true selves, many amazing things begin to occur within us. Through our universal mind connection things begin to filter in, eventually becoming a flood of insight and reconnection.

The actress Mae West was noted for saying among other things “You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough”. While this sentiment has served us for some time, the fundamental premise of this saying is in my opinion based on a false assumption; that we only live once. The truth, which is baring itself out empirically, is that we have lived many times before.One cannot fault

When I was a young boy, around 6 or 7, I used to play with my neighborhood friends, getting into mischief like most kids my age. We’d play ball and ride our bikes and play cowboys and Indians and war and such. I would hear a buddy call from a distance and immediately know who it was, then we’d go out and discover a new adventure for that day. Life was fun and enjoyable, as it should be for a kid.
