While hiking through the coastal old growth redwoods, I witnessed rebirth everywhere. Out of the demise of a majestic fallen tree, its corpse hosted hundreds, if not thousands of life forms including fledgling redwoods. Called nurse trees, these fallen giants created life from their death. The same is true for us in a metaphorical [...]
Like me, you’ve probably spent some of your younger years stifling who you were in hopes that: people would like you more, they’d see themselves in you or you would find your tribe, whether it was in school, church or the workplace. Well, I’m over fitting in. I don’t want to pretend to be [...]
For me, Christmas is an excellent reminder of the power of love. The love that Christ taught us about: an unconditional gift that each and every one of us receives. A love we don’t have to earn. A love that encourages us to always be our best. A love that connects us to each other. [...]
Our days can be filled with more “must-do” than “want-to-do” tasks. After all, someone has to grocery shop, pay bills and earn a living. And while we might choose different activities if we could, appreciating even the most menial chores can lighten our mood and that of those around us. Recently, I realized I’d [...]
When I want something, I take steps to achieve it. But in my quest to get closer to spiritual enlightenment, I’ve found the harder I push toward that goal, the further back I slide. That’s because God decides where I’m to be and that’s all that matters. There’s a reason I’m where I am. [...]
Everything that comes to us is on God’s schedule, not ours. And to get the most from every day, we can benefit greatly by regularly practicing three actions: releasing, accepting and receiving. #1 Release the past, limiting thoughts and the notion that you’re in control We can’t meaningfully enhance our life until we let [...]
My transcendent night with the spirits in the Goldfield Hotel opened my third eye. Suddenly, I found myself receiving divine messages, and started seeing and hearing energies. I thought I’d lost my mind. But even worse, I’d believed I was destined for hell. Why? Because a church I’d once belonged to preached the evils [...]
I’ve just been notified that Central Nevada’s Goldfield Hotel, which has been closed to the public, is now accepting reservations for tours and night-time paranormal investigations. This is the building where I encountered extraordinary paranormal activity with a TV news crew in 2007 (see my book, A Reluctant Spirit). Goldfield Hotel Here is [...]
In August, my dear friend, Jean Millay Ph.D., a pioneer in the study of the survival of consciousness beyond death, graduated from Earth School. She approached this transition from the physical to spirit realms with grace, joy and anticipation. Our friendship was filled with amazing conversations and I could never absorb all the wisdom [...]
Last month, I spoke at Carson City's A to Zen on "Ghosts and What They Teach Us About the Afterlife." In response to requests from out-of-town readers that I post one of my presentations online, I've uploaded this hour-long talk on my YouTube Channel. Yesterday's post notification failed, but it's live Due to technical [...]
