Let’s Start with Compassion
The fear of dying or of causing the death of another – and this fear facing us and every human being around us – has galvanized the world. It has gotten the world’s attention in a way that previous chaos did not. Not the whole world’s attention. Coronavirus is happening everywhere. Everyone is facing the […]
Dr. Ben Kim: Monitoring the COVID-19 Pandemic
I found this a thoughtful and helpful article. Thanks to Len. Dr. Ben Kim’s Newsletter March 15, 2020 Dear Reader, In monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic, I’m feeling more optimistic than I was about a week ago, primarily because it’s clear that more countries are understanding the importance of social distancing, canceling unnecessary gatherings, avoiding non-essential […]
An Opportunity Not to be Missed
I think the Coronavirus outbreak, along with the tragedies it brings, also presents us with a wonderful opportunity, not to be missed.

Dual or Non-Dual This Lifetime?
I’m going through a sad parting of the ways backstage between the lifelong non-dual student in me and the dualistic servant. There are so many reasons why the non-dual is not the path for me this lifetime. First, I know that my experiences are truncated to keep me here. It’s probably the same for any […]

How is a Lightworker Different from a Spiritual Seeker?
In my opinion, one way in which the lightworker is different from the spiritual seeker is that the spiritual seeker seeks enlightenment while the lightworker intends to serve, whether enlightenment results or not. Archangel Michael once made the following distinction in a personal reading: “When you use the term ‘dramatic enlightenment experiences,’ you are talking […]

(Continued from Part 2, yesterday.) All well and good. But what has all of this to do with the Reval and everything that falls out of it? Michael is adamant that what is being revalued that is of most importance is our spiritual currency; in other words, our own readiness, willingness, and ability to value […]
What is Spiritual Currency? Part 2/3
(Continued from Part 1, yesterday.) If we as a society have not reached a collective level of self-worth that allows the Reval to do any good, Michael says, heaven will not release the funds. In 2015, he observed that “there are so many that have not reached a place of self-worth that they were not […]
What is Spiritual Currency? Part 1/3
What is the difference between hard currency and spiritual currency? I think I can summarize it by saying that hard currency relates to our net worth and spiritual currency relates to our Self-worth. Spiritual currency is a metaphor the Company of Heaven uses to denote our inherent worth or Self-worth. Our failure to realize our […]
The Space of Abundance
There are a multitude of states of consciousness, I’m sure. Why would there not be? Everything is consciousness. Abundance is a higher-dimensional state of consciousness just as mastery and bliss, love and peace are. Abundance as a state, like love, cannot be discussed. It lives in another, higher dimension and our words don’t capture that […]
