As Autumn approaches I welcome it as an invitation to remember that like the seasons, our lives are always in transition, that impermanence alone is permanent. Observing leaves falling from the trees, we can reflect on releasing from our lives that which no longer serves us. We can introspect on the habits, beliefs, convictions, concepts and attitudes that we are being called to question and let go of, in spite of the ego’s holding on to what it tries to convince us keeps us safe and secure.

Every day I see how Spirit shows its greatness to us in the great dance of the universe - Spirit and Nature spinning together throughout the cosmos to the music of the Aum vibration. Just as the mother aspect of God reveals itself as cosmic wisdom. We all possess these qualities in our soul consciousness. That which we call our finite self and infinite self are one and the same, quietly awaiting our inner awakening to the truth that it's all God.

“To live a consecrated life is to enter into alignment with the reality that Life is a sacred emanation of the Spirit. Inherent within this realization is a choiceless choice to set aside meaningful, substantial time each day for holy communion with the One Life. It is to know with unshakable certainty that your life is devoted to waking up to the eternal verities of the Spirit and living them in everyday life”.

I want you to wake up today! If you believe that you will be complete after you find the right relationship, the better job, the bigger house, that hotter investment, the accomplishment of a particular goal, you are asleep in the human dream of maya, which is the sleep of human delusion. Any such fulfillment is only temporary. The quest of looking for wholeness outside of yourself is not the way it works. It’s an inside job!

“The same universe that summoned Jesus and Buddha to wake up also calls your name, my name.  Our destiny is no less than theirs.  The universe has summoned you to quit playing around with the toys of this world and to begin playing with your great destiny as an awakened being.  This means each one of us has to give up the little story about who we're not and what we don't have.  And from that consciousness you will begin to develop what is called "personal success," which means that you are stabilizing your life structures.
