As you experience a spiritual awakening you may sense that your mojo is getting knocked down. The question is how do you get it back up? The answer is that you go deep inside and tap into your inner divinity. In tapping into your inner divinity you will find that any issues that are stopping you from reaching your full spiritual potential are due to your perspective and reactions. This has been the case for me over the last several months as I have been struggling financially. I have been so quick to judge others that I lost sight of the 3rd agreement which is don’t make judgments. I kept thinking that people were doing me wrong instead of looking it from their perspective and understanding that the way thing are and the way things should be are 2 different things. I also began to look inside and to take responsibility for what was happening. The set backs that I have faced over the last 10 months since my DAD was called home to GOD have affected my mojo and I was feeling down and began to become fraught with anxiety and depression. It has been scary knowing that I am very close to becoming homeless because of decisions I made. I thought many people would rally to my assistance and buy the contents of my condo as I really only need a bed and a TV and some clothes some have come through in a big way and I am grateful for them. I am grateful to all those who have visited www.gofundme.com/help-jdogg-save-his-condo-and-more and made a donation. I have come to realize that I may get knocked down but of I can look up I can get up and find my mojo and begin to attract those meant to help me so that I can continue on my mission to be of service and value to others. As I begin to find ways to get my mojo back I am reminded that there are many people who will reach out to help. Such was the case today when a friend of mine who recently lost his mother was cleaning out her condo and offered me some of the crystal figurines that she had.The figurines had great value unfortunately I couldn’t break away to pick them up. I thought for a minute and realized that if GOD intends for me to have the figurines he will find a way for me to have them.
As you awaken spiritually it is important to see who is coming to your spiritual table. It is important to make sure the people coming to your spiritual table have your best interest in mind and will be of service and value to you. Many times in our human existence we allow people to come to our spiritual table that are toxic and thus they contaminate the entire table with their negative energy.
It was a challenging January and I found myself questioning my purpose and then I remembered that I am here to light it up and when I shine my light I give people permission to shine their light and as a result the world is illuminated. I was feeling frustration as I experienced some financial challenges and was worrying about how I was going to keep my condo as people just weren’t responding to my pleas for help, I put out many posts asking people to visit www.paypal.me/jdogg8265 and only 2 people made a donation. I asked people to send checks or money orders made payable to Jonathan Lederman to 9141 Sunrise Lakes Boulevard #102 Sunrise, FL 33322 and had no response. I then shared that I recently became an associate with Legal Shield and many people simply refused to take a look at what I was offering. All this put me in a bad way as I was wondering what it was that was stopping people from listening to me and helping me in my time of need. It seemed as though I was in a downward spiral creating blockages and then I decide to simply light it up and detach myself from outcomes realizing that the people meant to be in my life to help me will appear when GOD deems them necessary to be in my life. I took last week to really look deep into what I was doing and how my attitude was affecting my life and my interaction with people.
In finding the light and understanding that not everyone is meant to resonate with your message but you should deliver it anyway because there will be plenty that will be reached and transformed with your message. It is important to light it up and walk in your truth and find those who support your mission to be of service and value to others. In August of 2018 I turned 53 years old and it was my first birthday without my dad. I was in a bad place but then I light the candle on my cake and I wished for help. GOD delivered that help with someone whom made a very generous gift to me to help me have a home base to light it up and thus enhance the life of others. Some have wondered why I am online asking for donations for myself and for charitable causes. The answer is because I found my purpose and that is to help other people excel. I have always told people that the worst thing that will happen is that some will say no when you light it up but each no gets you closer to a yes. When you move in a positive direction of your goals and light it up the only person that can stop you is you. In the last 7 months I have learned who I can count on and who will give me lip service.
One way I am lighting it up is continuing to help The American Cancer Society by offering a KNOCKOUT CANCER TEE-SHIRT at www.knockoutcancer1.53clothingcompany.com where the profits are donated to help those touched by cancer by funding research, education, advocacy, and services. Thank you to Jeff Cash, Portrait Artist to The Stars, for his design and helping me to light it up. I could have gotten discouraged and quit as the last campaign only sold 3 tee-shirts instead I regrouped and detached myself from the outcome. As today is World Cancer Day I launched the campaign and ordered my shirt despite the fact that money is a bit tight. I decided to take action and light it up and as I was typing this blog entry I received notification that I earned Grand Club Status by raising over $1000 for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life and will be receiving a special commemorative shirt. Though the shirt will not put food on the table or pay bills it will act as a catalyst to light it up and help more people touched by cancer.
It is when we turn to GOD and light up the spark that is inside us allowing us to make a divine connection that we begin to attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into our lives allowing us to become stronger personally, professionally, and spiritually. We have a power to make a difference in our life and in the lives of others all we have to do is light it up and focus on the things we can change accept the thing we can not and have the wisdom to know the difference.
When you begin to light it up and understand that you have a higher calling you will find yourself clearing yourself of things, people, and place that no longer serve you. I am in the process of eliminating most of the materialistic items that I own for at the end of the day what we own does not define us. When you decide to light it up and let go the idea of what other people think you will find yourself expanding in your personal, professional, and spiritual life. When you start to tap into your inner divinity and find the light inside you will find that bliss and abundance come to you easily and effortlessly. As you continue on your spiritual path may you light it up and clear the blockages that are stopping you from becoming the most powerful you that GOD intends you to become. Light It Up!!! Namaste!!!
As I sat and watched NFL Football last week and saw all the Crucial Catch promotions I was filled with a sense of pride knowing that my 19 year involvement with The American Cancer Society Relay For Life was a small part in the effort to have people get screened for cancer as early detection saves live. As I saw more and more pink and then the other colors of the rainbow I started to think about the spiritual significance of the color pink. As I began to get more and more aware and awake relating to the color pink I started to understand why I felt the way I did when I donned my pink shirt the other day.
Pink, a delicate color that means sweet, nice, playful, cute, romantic, charming, feminine, and tenderness, is associated with bubble gum, flowers, babies, little girls, cotton candy, and sweetness. The color pink is the color of universal love of oneself and of others. As I sat in meditation thinking about the color pink it occurred to me why I was so drawn to pink and why it was chosen to represent breast health month.
I have witnessed a lot of pink over the past few days and each time I see it I feel a rise in my vibration and I begin to feel more energy to move forward in my quest to be of service and value to others. As I continue to see pink it reminds me that as a spiritual being I need to be leaving a legacy of hope and healing for others. In committing to be a voice of hope for others I have found that I attract more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into my life. As I continue to receive messages from GOD and take action upon them as it relates to getting into the pink I find myself accomplishing some amazing things. I encourage people to start to get into the pink and to use the power of this color to enhance their personal and professional life.
Being in the pink has come to mean being healthy and having a rosy glow. There is another meaning that will take you in an entire different direction so we won’t get into that know. In an effort to get into the pink you will need to make a few choices in your life that at first may seem challenging however if you remember that if GOD brought you to it GOD will bring you through it. It is important to remember that GOD wants you healthy so you can prosper and thus prosper others.
Just as a flower blooms you to are blooming so as to show your beauty as you continue to shine your light and illuminate the world. As you continue on your spiritual path remember to get into the pink. As you get into the pink you will find yourself manifesting everything you desire to create a life filled with bliss and abundance.
May your journey into the pink be one that allows you to reach incredible heights where compassion and kindness will rule the day allowing you to make a joyful noise as you continue to get in tune with your inner divinity. Namaste!!!
Over the last few weeks I have found that I have been wearing more and more purple. As I continue on my spiritual journey I was wondering why I was so attracted to purple so I looked up it meaning. The color purple is often associated with royalty, nobility, luxury, power, and ambition. Purple also represents meanings of wealth, extravagance, creativity, wisdom, dignity, grandeur, devotion, peace, pride, mystery, independence, and magic. In finding the meaning of the color purple I began to awaken more and more spiritually and I became more aware of my encounters with the color purple. As I sat in meditation about the color purple and how many times it has played a role in my life I was awakened to the concept that we are all purple on the inside. Inside of us we have a divine power to attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into our lives and this power is generally represented by a purple prism that casts a shadow of hope and healing.

Despite it’s prevalence, amethyst has been one of the world’s most revered stones for many centuries. Found in as many places as Brazil, Bolivia, Mexico, Africa, Canada, Russia, USA and Europe, this stone has a rich history of astonishing civilizations with its stunning, saturated beauty. While the Neolithic people in Europe it as a mere decorative emblem around 25,000 B.C., Ancient Greeks and Romans used amethyst in several ways from beads in jewelry to amulets. These ancient civilizations placed a high value in this stone. Their belief was that the amethyst crystal meaning was synonymous with luxury. As such, it was highlighted as part of their crowns, scepters and rings. Christian bishops once wore amethyst jewelry in the form of a ring. It’s color was meant to symbolize royalty and an allegiance to Christ. Members of the Catholic clergy wore amethyst stone in their crosses because their amethyst meaning was one of piety and celibacy. It is even thought that the breast plate of the high priest of Israel was adorned with an amethyst as its ninth stone. It’s said that there were ten stones upon which the names of the tribes of Israel were engraved, and amethyst is believed to have been one of such stones.
The name amethyst translates in Greek to, “not drunken.” An ancient Greek myth explains this seemingly odd name. According to the myth, the god Bacchus was angry, and had vowed to descend a hoard of tigers upon the first person who crossed his path. Amethyst was on her way to give thanks at the shine of the god Diana, when she happened upon Bacchus. Before the tigers could eat Amethyst, she was saved by Diana, who turned her into a clear crystal. Bacchus, remorseful for the fate he had so recklessly caused the girl, poured the juice of grapes over the stone as an offering, and thus bestowed the crystal with its unique purple coloring. The greeks gave amethyst crystal meaning, perpetuating a belief that it could inhibit the intoxication of all who wore it. In the Chinese philosophy of Feng Shui, amethyst meaning is quite different. Amethyst properties are not of sobriety, but of wealth in this ancient harmonizing technique. If placed in the wealth corner, amethyst can amplify the flow of prosperity into the home.
Amethyst crystal is one of several varieties of quartz, which gives it a crystal trigonal system. With a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, it is a durable stone. Its lavender to violet shade is the result of iron and aluminum deposits, as well as natural irradiation. Amethyst stone is made up of silicon dioxide.
Amethyst healing properties are as plentiful as the stone itself. It is thought of mostly as a protective stone. As it is linked to the crown chakra, it is helpful in purifying the mind and clearing it of negative thoughts. This includes the negativity of stress and anxiety, which is why many meditate with amethyst so as to rid themselves of that darkness. Amethyst healing properties are especially useful in regards to work-related stress, because the stone is also associated with abundance; therefore relieving stress while emanating prosperity. The amethyst properties which facilitate intuition and communication can also be applied to increased work effectiveness.
Introduction to the Meaning – Sugilite A most beautiful and powerful crystal of the Violet Ray energy, Sugilite is a premier “love stone for this age,” embodying the perfection of Divine love and the manifestation of this energy on the Earth plane. It brings the gifts of wisdom and spiritual devotion, helping one to understand that Truth is the highest form of love, and living in one’s own truth is not only healing but empowering. Working with, wearing or meditating with Sugilite amplifies the ability to channel high frequency Violet energy into every aspect of one’s being in order to walk the Earth in strength and grace. Sugilite reminds the soul of its reasons for incarnating, and enhances one’s understanding of the lessons which have been chosen for this journey on the physical realm.

It brings light and love into the darkest of situations, letting one know life is more than what is currently being experienced. It offers hope and optimism for a better future, enabling one to accept the here and now. Sugilite encourages forgiveness, of oneself and others, and instills confidence and a sense of freedom.

Introduction to the Meaning and Uses of Charoite
Charoite is an incredible stone of the Violet Ray with an almost tangible movement of energy flowing in magnificent swirls and eddies of violet, lavender and purple. It is rare and complex, one of nature’s best dream stones and illuminators, allowing access to lessons learned in past lives, healing emotional fears to live in the present, and opening to spiritual guidance for the future.
This stone embodies a unique synthesis between the Crown and Heart Chakras, bringing high spiritual energy into union with unconditional love from the physical plane, and grounding it here on Earth where it is needed most. It is a Stone for This Age, assisting in the here and now…conveying the message that one is exactly where one should be during this moment. It is a talisman of acceptance and letting go; a “bestower of good,” encouraging service to humanity, and for attaining approval of the Self.
Discovered in the 1940s, Charoite was unknown to the outside world until 1978. Its name is derived from the Chara (or Charo) River in eastern Siberia, Russia, the only site in the world where it is found. The word “Chary” in Russian means “magic” or “charms.” The term “Charoite Jade” is a trade name for Charoite used in various applications as a decorative stone.
In life we find many spiritual connections sent to us through GOD and it is up to us to take those messages and act accordingly being guided by GOD, Jesus, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels. I often find myself connected to songs like this one from Prince that reminds me that after every storm there is a rainbow. In many cases we need to experience the purple rain and see the beauty that comes when the storm stops knowing that if GOD brought us to it GOD will bring us through it. It all comes down to growing personally, professionally, and spiritually knowing that we are divine children of GOD and GOD wants us to succeed.
Purple Flowers.
With its origins tied to royalty and ceremony, purple flowers represent dignity, pride and success. Whether grouped alone in a bold range of rich hues or mixed in with other colors to provide depth and contrast, an arrangement filled with purple blooms represents accomplishment and admiration. As I delved more and more into all things purple I began to understand why this was the color chosen to represent The American Cancer Society Relay For Life and why we give purple shirts to our cancer survivors at Relay For Life. I started to look at all the times I have worn purple be it the purple Relay For Life Sneakers of the purple tee-shirts, or purple hoodies and each time I felt a positive shift in my vibrations and thus was able to find success in my fundraising efforts. It seems that when I wear purple and surround myself with purple that I attract bliss and abundance into my life. I also find that my commitment to be of service and value to others is increased as my sense of purpose is heightened as I absorb the traits represented by the color purple.
One of my favorite essential oils is lavender as it has a soothing and calming effect. I have found that when I use a bit of lavender I am able to tap into my inner divinity and thus am better to follow the messages being sent to me from GOD to continue on my spiritual path and to shine my light bright for others to see so that together we can illuminate the world.
As you continue to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually remember that you are are an emerging spirit and soar as high as you can realizing that we are all purple on the inside. Namaste!!!
As I walked around the lake today (9/21/2018) I kept hearing a message, you are limitless. As I finished up my training for my position as an Outside Community Service Advisor with Alexander -Levitt Funeral and Cremations I began to realize why I was getting the messages to stretch the limit it was because GOD want me as well as you to prosper by being limitless in our thinking and to follow our heart by understanding that the only one stopping us is ourselves. How many times have you heard you can’t or that is impossible and you believed it so you didn’t continue to do what you were doing only to utter the words I wish I had at a later time. As you become more and more awake and aware you need to stop listening to the doubters, the haters, and the naysayers and simply stretch the limit.
There were many people who doubted me and told me I would never be an announcer because I had a learning disability and at one time in my life stuttered. Well I defied the odds and I developed my GOD given talent and I landed several announcing gigs including doing The Miami Caliente of The Legends Football League Games and Lingerie Bowl 7. Since my foray into becoming an announcer, an emcee, and a voice over talent I have learned that you must follow your passion and take action in order to find success. In stretching the limit and going after what I wanted I have found some success and I hope my stories of overcoming adversity will encourage you to stay on your path to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually. There comes a time when we must follow our inner divinity and connect with GOD so that we can stretch the limit and manifest the life we desire. That time is now for if you want to truly attract bliss and abundance into your life you must become an action taker who doesn’t allow people to tell you that you can’t do something. You are a divine child of GOD who can accomplish anything that you put your mind to it. It is your time to break down the boundaries and to take to the limit.
When you decide to take it to the limit you will find yourself accomplishing things that some people only imagine. In 1995 I was named one of The Top 5 Jaycees in America as I took the idea of service to humanity being the best work of life to the limit. It has be 23 years since this accomplishment and the award still hangs in my bedroom as a reminder of what can be done when you listen to your heart and GOD and don’t allow others to tell you that it can not be done and you take action to do it. In those 23 years since earning that very prestigious honor I have continued to take it to the limit by being of service and value to others and not worrying about what others my think for at the end of the day what matters is did I please myself and did I please GOD.
As I continue to stretch the limits I have adopted this song as one of my anthems because I have come to know that the only one that can stop me is me. I have had many a set back and challenge but I know that as long as I am connected to GOD, Jesus, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels that nothing will break my stride and as long as I move forward in a positive direction toward my goals that I will attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into my life. It is when we stretch what we perceived to be limits that we have the greatest success. When you walk in your truth you are going to encounter those who will try to bring you down. To those people I simple say thank you for your doubt only made me stronger.
Now is your time to break the chains that have held you back and created blockages by seeing increase and stretching the limits that no longer exist as you have become an action taker and are creating the life that you desire. It is time for you to stop you negative self talk and to understand that you are limitless and capable of amazing things. It is time for you to step into your power and become great by stretching the limit.
It is your time to go get it and be prosperous in this season as you stretch your limits and don’t let anything hold you back. IT doesn’t matter about the economy, who is in political office, or what others says all that matters is that you believe in yourself and that you take action to stretch the limits and to be the exceptional person that you are. It is your time to shine bright and illuminate the world and don’t let anyone else tell you differently. Namaste
When I was a teenager there was this sitcom, One Day At A Time, and I would watch it and laugh not realizing all the meanings that the show held. Now that I am older I can understand the messages that were being given in the show. The key lesson that I received was to take things one day at a time and to do my best to spread peace, love, and joy everywhere that I travel. I also learned the importance of being an action taker so as to evolve personally, professionally, and spiritually. It is simply in understanding that through the spiritual awakening process that every day is a new opportunity to create the life that you desire. In being in tune with your divine guidance system and seeking answers from The Ascended Masters, GOD, Jesus, and The Angels you will find yourself growing while making a mind, body, and soul connection by taking things day by day.
As you walk your spiritual path taking things one day at a time you will find that your connection to GOD is strengthened as you become more aware and awake. It is imperative to remember that your spiritual walk is a daily walk and to walk in your truth. When you are authentic and transparent you strengthen your relationship with GOD making it possible to move forward in a positive direction of your dreams. When you begin to take things one day at a time and live in the present you find that your stress levels are lessened thus your positive vibrations are enhanced and you begin to attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. As you begin to eliminate that which no longer serves you on a daily basis you start a path where clutter is no more and clarity rules the day. When you make it point to be of service and value daily you will find that you function at a high level and thus are able to attract the resources that will serve you in your quest to become spiritually enlightened.
I life you can either stay in or pull out. The action you take will determine the life you make. When you find your rhythm and you begin to vibrate at a high frequency you will find that you are able to accomplish some great things. Today I had the opportunity to visit my old high school and promote The 2018 American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Sunrise. It was great to interact with the kids and get into a groove knowing that I was helping to build momentum for an event that will plant the seeds of hope and healing for those touched by cancer. I then went over to a a couple of supporters from last year and was able to secure their support for this year. In picking a lane and staying focused on taking action I was able to find a rhythm that would lead to positive things happening. In finding a rhythm that works we are able to send out the vibration that will radiate with others and thus allow us to attract peace, love, joy, and prosperity into our lives. In getting into a rhythm we are able to create the life we desire as we are connected to GOD, The Ascended Masters, Jesus, and The Angels. In finding a rhythm that allows us to stay centered, focused, and grounded we are able to make a mind, body, and soul connection that allows us to move forward in a positive direction toward our dreams. It is by understanding our rhythmic vibrations that we are able to face everything and rise instead of forgetting everything and running. When we seek peace and joy in all we do we attract peace and joy into our lives thus allow us to make a joyful noise unto the lord and be rewarded.
It is when we make a joyful noise unto the lord that we can find a positive rhythm that allows us to reach heights that we never imagined. As you stay connected to GOD you will find that your personal, professional, and spiritual life improves as you are keeping the channels open to receive more positivism. In being grateful we increase our vibrations thus enabling us to find a rhythm that propels us forward in our mission to be of service and value to one another. Through out the day take a breath and see how you are vibrating and how your rhythm is. If you find yourself in low vibration and out of rhythm simply stop for a minute and pray. If you have time pop in a meditation and get yourself back into your groove.
As you experience a spiritual awakening you will find yourself flipping the switch from negativity to positivism as you move from darkness into the light. On February 9, 2018 I found myself in a dark place because something I loved to do and was paid for was taken away from me. Through this loss I had a choice to make I could stand and point fingers or I could flip the switch, take responsibility, learn from the experience, and move on by taken positive actions. It took about 2 1/2 weeks to finally flip the switch and come to grips with the situation by understanding that GOD had better and bigger plans for me. As I started to invoke the anthem of never giving up I was able to flip the switch and embrace the fact that in order to experience growth you must overcome challenges. In consulting with the Ascended Masters I was able to receive the message to simply be me and continue to be of service and value. I also received the message to understand that not everyone will see things the way you see them and that is okay. As the spiritual awakening process continues I understand that there will be obstacles and that there will be people who simply want to hold people down. I have flipped the switch by simply accepting their actions and forgiving them for they do not realize the hurt they have inflicted. Instead of staying angry I have become grateful for their actions as harsh as they may have been have helped me t move forward in the pursuit of my dreams. In flipping the switch I have been able to answer my calling to be of service and value to others by coming alive and focusing on ways that I can make my community a better place. I have come to realize that I must detach from expectations and simply go in the direction that GOD has intended for me to travel and to stay connected to GOD so as to follow the path that GOD has set for me.
Through the spiritual awakening process I have learned that if you want happiness you must flip the switch and drive out the darkness that is lurking around you. It is imperative that you flip the switch so that you exude positive emotions enabling you to make a positive difference in your life and in the lives of others. One of the facts of life is that not everyone will like you and that is okay. Another fact of life is to go where you are celebrated not just tolerated. If you find yourself in a place where you are not respected and celebrated simply flip the switch and when you can leave or severe ties take the high road and move on. It is said that what we focus on expands so instead of focusing on what we don’t have focus on what you do have and be grateful for what you do have. In flipping the switch from anger and despair to gratitude and hope you will find yourself attracting more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your life. In focusing on living your life in joy and bringing joy to others you will find that you begin to create the life that you desire easier and effortlessly. Sometimes it is just a matter of simply flipping the switch.
As you experience a spiritual awakening you will find that you can become your own power company. You become your own power company by tapping into your inner divinity and understanding that you have the power to create the life you desire. When you tap into your power and allow GOD to guide you you become a force with an unstoppable power that will become the change that you want to see in this world. There will be some trials and tribulations along the way for they provide lessons for us and allow us to become stronger in mind, body, and soul.
When you turn up your power and realize that what the mind can conceive, the heart can believe, you can achieve you will become your own power company and find you are in control of every encounter that you experience. In turning up the power and understanding that you possess the great ability to achieve greatness you will find yourself attracting peace, love, joy, and prosperity into your personal, professional, and spiritual life. There is a great power that lies within each of us and when we tap into this power and follow the messages of GOD we become stronger and thus can have more bliss and abundance in our life.
