Spiritual Awakening: Seeing Signs!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Seeing Signs!!!

In 1993 Ace Of Base released this song, I saw the sign, at tat time I didn’t realize just how prophetic this song would be in my spiritual awakening. Today ( 5/15/15) when I woke up the song popped into my head and I took it as a sign to write about seeing the signs that are being put right in front of us. I started to reflect on how many signs I had missed as I was not aware and awake and then I reflected on the benefit of now being aware and awake and in tune with signs that all around me. As I have become more and more aware and awake I have been able to take action on these signs and follow my divine inner guidance system that I call GOD’S Purpose System (G.P.S.) when I use this GPS I tend to find anthems like my GOD is Greater. I have  come to adopt a mantra of if GOD brought you to it God will bring you through it as a result of seeing the signs and then getting in alignment with GOD’S Message and then allowing things to unfold as he has planned. I have  learned that one can plan out their work and work their plan but if it is not in accordance with GOD’s plan for you no matter how hard you may try it will not come to fruition. Sometimes the signs appear and we are unaware or not in the oneness consciousness mindset that we miss the signs at first. Then the ascended masters work with GOD and send us the sign again like a catcher giving a pitcher the signs a second time. Once we see the signs we should not shake them off but rather act upon the signs and allow the process to take place and see where our actions guided by GOD takes us.

All around us are signs to help us mover further along our spiritual path. Sometimes these signs clog up our mind that we must sit back take a deep breath and ask GOD, our angels, and the ascended masters, for the meaning. If we seek we will  find the answer. There are many resources that GOD has put around us in the form of signs to help us create a oneness consciousness  so that we can create a world that is filled with caring and compassion. Each day there will be signs for us to follow just like getting directions for a trip so we can arrive at our destination safely and continue to move forward and evolve on our spiritual journey we need to be in tune with our GPS. If our GPS is off we may get lost along the way but once we fix it and make adjustments to The GPS we get back on track and are able to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually.  It is when we see certain signs and we find their meaning that we are able to stay on our spiritual path and thus be of service and value to others.

Spiritual Awakening: Up, Up, And Away!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Up, Up, And Away!!!

During the spiritual awakening process sometimes it is necessary to get another perspective or see things from a different vantage point. Think about what it would be like to look at things from above and how differently things would look when you were above them as opposed to below them. I remember a trip to The Empire State Building and how fearful I was of the height and how I was making every excuse not to get on the elevator to the observation tower when a friend said Jonathan take a deep breath hold my hand and we will go up, up, and away together. I got on that elevator with my eyes closed and as we ascended to the observation deck I began to open my eyes and I saw New York City from a totally different perspective and I realized then that when you look at the world with your eyes wide open that you gain a new appreciation for what you see and even overcome some fears. By being willing to go up, up, ad away with my friend I was able to apply the experience at The Empire State Building to my personal and professional life and when I found myself fearful I would simply say time to go up, up, and away. In using that as a mantra and an anthem I have been able to conquer several fears and thus face everything and rise instead of forgetting everything and running.  Each time I listen to The 5th Dimension Song Up, Up, and Away my mood becomes more pleasant and joyful and I think what would it be like to get in the Hot Air Balloon and just see the beauty of nature and life from the vantage point of that balloon. The closest I have  come to this has been on airplanes and flying has always been a bit difficult for me as I don’t like to give up control. In learning how to let things go and giving up control I have been able to see things from a different perspective. I recall my plane flight from San Francisco to Manila for my work as a U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer in The Philippines and arriving for a stop over in Tokyo as we approached Toyko’s Airport for landing I looked out the window and I saw some of the sacred temples and thought wow how great this is to be able to see these great historical structures and draw the positive energy from them. I didn’t venture outside the Tokyo Airport however as we were transferring planes I did stop at the gift shop and took in as much as I could to soak in the positive energy. I made it to the gate to board the plane for the final leg of the trip and all the while I get thinking how great this is that I get to go up, up, and away. As we made the final approach into Manila I looked out the window and I saw McDonald’s and thought well at least if I don’t enjoy the Filipino food I will have McDonald’s. We landed and quickly met our Filipino counterparts and claimed our luggage and made our way to where we would stay for orientation. That night I made my way to one of the large hotels in Manila and I took the elevator to the top floor where the pool deck was and I looked out onto Manila and realized just how lucky I was to have the opportunity to be a U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer. Over the next 6 months I would put fear and doubt aside and do things that I never thought possible like hiking 10 km up a mountain to the botanical gardens.
Talk about going up, up, and away. When I arrived at the top there was a sari-sari store. I quickly said Gusto Ko Nong Tubig ( I would like water) I bought 4 bottles and walked around the gardens listening to the birds, watching the monkeys, and just admiring the beauty of where I was and taking in the moment. Ne of the workers asked you walk up the mountain? I said yes. he said okay me take you down in Jeepney when you ready.  I did take the jeepney down the mountain and thanked him for the ride. As I walked back into town I realized that sometimes it is when we go up, up, and away that we have our greatest awakenings. While I sat on the bench under a tree with flowers blooming around me and birds flying freely I realized that it is not about the materialistic that matters but the spiritualistic.

Spiritual Awakening: Take The Blinders Off!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Take The Blinders Off!!!

As I sat in reflection yesterday (5/10/2015) I received a message that I found to be very poignant. It was Take The Blinders Off. As I thought about this I began to think how many people are walking through life unaware of how great they are or how they can make a difference in the lives of others and as a result change their life.  In the spiritual awakening process it is imperative to take time and see what is around you and what is beyond you as the universe is filled with infinite possibilities. When we take our blinders off and we begin to see that their are solutions to every issue and that those solutions lie with in us our world and the world around us improves.  I am often amazed how many people seem to walking around in a daze or oblivious to the opportunities that are being presented to them. In being awake and aware  we become in tune to our inner divinity and thus can start to take the blinders off and solve the challenges we are facing understanding that we are all interconnected and have the ability to take the blinders off.

When we take the blinders off and start to open our eyes we are able to take action and unlock a world of possibilities that we may not have realized existed before our spiritual awakening. It is when we detach from what others think or see in us and focus on what we see in us tat we grow in mind, body, and spirit. In looking in the mirror and seeing the great person you are you begin to take the blinders off and thus are able to continue on your spiritual path to develop a oneness consciousness. In identifying our blind spots we are able to take the blinders off and address these issues. In my case my blind spot was anger. Once I took the blinders off and realized that being angry was not serving me well and that getting angry was creating a personal and spiritual imbalance in my life I was able to work on alternative methods of dealing with issues that once aggravated me. I still get upset at times but instead of getting mad and feeling hopeless I now sit in meditation and breathe seeking positive ways to solve the challenges that may be presenting themselves in my life. The first step to taking the blinders off is to realize there is an issue and to deal with it because not dealing with it only creates blockages that inhibit your spiritual and personal growth. In opening your eyes and getting real with yourself you will see dramatic changes in your life as you begin to understand that when we take the blinders off we grow and enhance our spiritual life.

Spiritual Awakening: Spread The Sunshine!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Spread The Sunshine!!!

As I was emceeing The Florida Initiative For Suicide Prevention 5k Hugs For Hope  event today (5/9/2015) I saw a shirt worn by one of the teams that read Spread The Sunshine. This became the theme as I announced the runners finishing, which then turned into doing shout outs as people would tell me the runner’s name and I would build them up and encourage them. I then had the opportunity to deliver a message of HOPE before giving out the medals. After handing out the medals and waiting for my payment many people came up to me and complimented me  on how great my message was. One woman told me that my comment about the two things that matter in life  are if you lived your life with joy and if your life brought joy to others moved her to tears. As I arrived at Starbucks I put out my Oracle Cards to see if it would stimulate conversation and help to make connections thus creating a positive shift and encouraging people to spread the sunshine.

Inside all of us is a divine energy that allows us to spread our inner sunshine and thus we can light up the world and make an effective change. As I emceed the event today I challenged the crowd to meet someone they didn’t already know. I then went to Starbucks and put this into practice and I met a record producer and we had a great conversation and he told me to give him a call. When you reach out and spread your sunshine you put out an energy that radiates to others to let them spread their sunshine. In making the mantra I will spread my sunshine into a daily anthem you will begin to see opportunities present themselves that will allow you to grow personally and professionally.  It is when we use the lessons of the ascended masters to awaken spiritually that we are able to tap into our inner divine sunshine and answer our calling by taking action to be of service and value to others. In committing to spread the sunshine you put yourself  in a position to come alive and help the community. In helping the community you begin to help yourself.

Spiritual Awakening: Tools To Help You Spread The Sunshine!!!

 

Quotes and bible verses are excellent tools to help in spreading the sunshine.

Spiritual Awakening: GOD’S Knocking,Just Are You Answering?

Spiritual Awakening: GOD’S Knocking, Are You Answering?

 Just as GOD answers the knock on his door we must answer the knock of GOD at our door. This part of the spiritual awakening process is very important as it helps us to act upon the message that GOD is sending and thus allows us to take the proper action to further our quest to create a oneness consciousness that will propel us to step into our power so as to achieve greatness and shine our light so bright that the entire world is illuminated. I am always amazed at how many times GOD knocks on my door and I am not aware or I am not awake or enlightened enough to move with the message.  How many times do we go about our day to day lives in the human existence and we do not take the time to sit in  reflection and hear the messages that GOD is sending us?  How many times do we get caught up in the what ifs that we do not act on these messages?  How many ties is the message right in front of us but we are so distracted by other things that we miss the message?

 I was at The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of West Boca Raton and I was introduced to speak about the mission of relay and The American Cancer Society and I stated Hello I am Jonathan JDOGG Lederman and I am on a Mission from GOD. Since that moment things flowed well at Relay. later in the day I delivered a presentation for The Survivors/Caregivers Ceremony and when someone came up and told me what a great speech I replied I am but the messenger GOD gave me the words. Aa I acknowledged GOD I began to remember the  idea that when two or more are gathered in GOD’s presence he is there. GOD is with us at all times and when we acknowledge him some amazing things happen.

This has become very evident as today (5/6/2015) I have received 2 calls about emceeing events. One came from someone I worked with several years ago and the other from someone I reached out to about emceeing events a few months ago,  As I continue to answer GOD’s knock on my heart and understand the messages that he is sending some great things are unfolding. I have created a habit of acknowledging GOD daily and showing gratitude and as a result he keeps knocking on my door and I continue to answer.

Spiritual Awakening: Picture Perfect Memories!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Picture Perfect Memories!!!

 As I drove home yesterday (5/2/2015) from The American Cancer Society  Relay For Life Of West Boca Raton I began to think about how many picture perfect memories were made that also opened up many divine channels of spirituality that will propel me to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually.  I have learned over time that when you are guided by GOD and you acknowledge that guidance great things will happen.  In following GOD’S Message you will be deliver a powerful message to others by simply understanding that you are a divine child of GOD with a defined purpose. In following your calling and taking action you create many memories that will allow you draw fuel to continue to move forward in the direction of your dreams by being of service and value.  Yesterday during opening ceremonies at Relay For Life as I was introduced and I said hello I am Jonathan JDOGG Lederman and I am on a mission from GOD and this set the tone for the next 12 hours and everything worked out. By not allowing challenges to bother me and simply going with the flow and following the messages from GOD I was able to make a positive impact on those who attended Relay.

 We all have  the ability to make memories. Last night during Luminaria I searched out a bag lit in memory of my mother, Judith Miller, who was called home to GOD on July 5, 2012 after a massive heart attack while battling in operable metastatic lung cancer. As I sat on the track and took a photo of the bag I could feel her presence and feel a wave of peace and love come over me. For the many that know me  to have me sit quietly anywhere for an extended time is quite the challenge as I have become a ball of energy  that can be a force of nature with a powerful message so  as I sat in reflection last night I realized that the photographs and memories that we create can assist us greatly in our spiritual development.

Spiritual Awakening: It’s A Celebration!!!

Spiritual Awakening: It’s A Celebration!!!

 

 As I awoke and turned the calendar to a new month I realized that it  was May Day a day to celebrate and rejoice in the coming of Spring and the blossoming of flowers made possible through those April showers. As I turned the calendar page I looked also saw a bible verse that hangs on my wall that read Today Is The Day The Lord Hath Made Be Glad and Rejoice In It. As I prepared for the day I made a conscious decision to make today a day of celebration and to look for all the positives and to promote peace, love, joy, and prosperity everywhere I go.  My first stop was the bank and I wished everyone a great day and as I left I stated GOD Bless You and the response was great as people said bless you too. I then went to Starbucks and hung my FREE HUGS Sign so as spread the idea of  being a lifter to others. Not many people have  come over but just having the sign up may shift someone from a negative state of mind to a positive state of mind. It is through celebrating the fact that I woke up today and there wasn’t a white chalk line around my body that I have been able to get more intune with my divinity and spirituality and thus make a positive difference in my life and the lives of others today. I also started using #alllivesmatter in posts encouraging people to start having positive dialogues with one another and to celebrate and applaud each other.

Free_Hugs_-_Bannerupdated In celebrating and passing hugs along one is able to change the vibration and thus resonate on a cellular level that improves the lives of those we interact with. It is said that what we focus on expands so I suggest we all take action to focus on the good that is happening in our lives and that we share the positive as much as we can and embrace life.  I started to reflect on all my work with The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of West Boca and  as I reflected I though I could be upset with the people who stated they were going to visit http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg2 and make a donation and didn’t come through or I could focus on the many that did, I could compare my raising $2526.90 so far to thhose who raised over $15,000 each and be disappointed or I could celebrate the fact that what I raised is important as well.  The choice of how we choose to look at things affects our spiritual well being. I have  found that when I make a shift from I could have  done more to let’s celebrate what I have  done that not only do I accomplish more I feel better both mentally and physically, I find that when I change my attitude my altitude increases and the level of vibration and resonance begins to attract people who also want to make positive changes in the world by celebrating what is right in the world instead of focusing on what is wrong. Today I celebrate by purging negative images from my Facebook Feed, ignoring and eliminating things that no longer serve me.  In eliminating the negative I am able to come alive and be of better service and value to others.

Spiritual Awakening: A Prescription For Love!!!

Spiritual Awakening: A Prescription for Love!!!

 

With all the turmoil being covered by the news I decided that I would prescribe a dose of love for everyone and encourage people to embrace the spiritual awakening process and to do small things with great love. In taking action to make love an anthem and to spread kindness wherever you go you will be following the prescription of love thus helping to awaken yourself and others to the power of love. When you tp into you own divinity and you begin to love who you are you begin to give off a vibration that creates a love resonation that will then propel people to work together in a loving and caring manner.  In understanding that you are a divine child of GOD and that GOD loves you you create a ripple that not only will transform your life but the lives of others. In answering the call to love you will be able to affect the change that you want to see in the world and thus come alive so you can be of service and value to your community.

 When  we awaken spiritually and we turn ourselves over to GOD and show GOD love he will show us some love in return. When you commit to being loving and caring in all you do GOD see’s that and rewards you for your generosity and gratitude you are given the opportunity to step into your greatness and thus create prosperity for yourself that in turn allows you to help others. Through love we are able to heal ourselves and conquer everything that may be holding us back from achieving the life we desire. I remember the day I made my FREE HUGS Sign and displayed it for the first time some people understood the message while others were skeptical and questioned what I was doing. I was giving out a prescription of love. In giving out FREE HUGS I was able to shift the paradigm in some people’s lives by letting them know that there is at least one person who wants to spread peace, love, joy, and prosperity to others . As you look for  ways to share love and you take action you set in motion events that change your life and the lives around you. When you radiate love people see that and many will want to join you.

 

Spiritual Awakening: Filling The Prescription For Love!!!

 In filling the prescription for love you should find music that shows appreciation and gratitude to others so that the love dosage is suited for everyone.

Spiritual Awakening: The Home Stretch!!!

Spiritual Awakening: The Home Stretch!!!

Kentucky Derby For years I have watched The Kentucky Derby, The Preakness, and The Belmont Stakes all 3 together known as The Triple Crown in hopes that there would be a triple crown winner as the last triple crown winner was Affirmed in 1978. Affirmed battled Alydar in one of the closest Belmont Stakes in the history of horse racing. I always get excited when I hear the announcer say and down the stretch they come as the horse enter the final stretch of the race knowing that in the homestretch os where many a race is won or lost.  As The Kentucky Derby approaches and will take pace on May 2 I find myself thinking about the homestretch in the spiritual awakening process. On May 2 a horse, a jockey, a trainer, and an owner will be forever immortalized in the sports history books. This got me to thinking how will we become immortalized in the spiritual history books as we enter our very own homestretch in discovering who we are and what we are meant to be.  A racehorse is bred to race and to give pleasure to the fans and then when their career is over they are put out to breed and through breeding they pass on their lineage and their legacy for more horses to race and for more fans to enjoy.  This lead me to ponder what happens when we reach the home stretch of any project or development in our personal or professional life how will we create a legacy and pass the legacy on?  One way to do this is to become spiritually aware and awake and to take action to develop our spirituality and share ourselves with the world.

Many times it is not how you start but how you finish that matters. There have been many a horse who started in the back of the pack but stayed on their path and were consistent and by the time they took the final turn and entered the homestretch they were in a position to win and managed to surge ahead of every other horse and win. Think of how many times things may have not started off right for you but because of your strength and your determination along with your faith you were able to stay on course make an adjustment and be a winner in the end.

Joel Rosario sits on Orb in the winners circle after winning the 139th Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs Saturday, May 4, 2013, in Louisville, Ky. - ASSOCIATED PRESSIn 2013 Orb was a longshot and sat in 17th place but rallied to win The Kentucky Derby. The spiritual lesson I learned that day was that it is not where you start that really matters it is that you start and that you give it your best in all that you do and finish what you started.  Orb would finish 4th in The Preakness and 3rd in The Belmont and then be retired to Stud. Orb’s legacy now is in the horses that he sires.  In the spiritual awakening process it is important to understand what your legacy will be and how people will speak about your home s retch run. How will you be remembered?  ORB will forever be remembered as a Kentucky  Derby Winner. In the spiritual development process it is important to be aware and awake of the positive impact you are making and how your coming alive is having a positive impact on the community where you live, work, and play.

Spiritual Awakening: A Dose Of Happiness!!!

Spiritual Awakening: A Dose Of Happiness!!!

 Today I wish to give everyone a prescription for a dose of happiness. In the spiritual awakening process it is imperative to find your inner joy and to tap into that joy so that it will continue to lead to happiness. Many times I am asked, JDOGG what makes you happy? My answer is easy losing myself in service to others and watching how people come together for a common cause that resonates with them. I have experienced this over the last 15 years as I have been an active participant with The American Cancer Society Relay For Life. This year I decided to become The Fund The Mission Lead for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life of West Boca and to encourage people to get involved. I have derived a great amount of happiness by visiting www.relayforlife.org/westbocaratonfl and http://main.acsevents.org/goto/jdogg2 and seeing the progress being made in the fundraising efforts. I find happiness each morning knowing that I am working for a cause and not the applause. I have learned that in order to achieve happiness I must detach from the outcome and just let things flow. I have also learned that not everyone is going to understand your motivation and not everyone is going to be as committed as I may be. I have  also learned not to compare myself to others and to just stay authentic and celebrate the fact that I have the ability to be part of something special. I have learned that I am more happy when I celebrate others instead of being jealous of them. I have  found that my happiness must come from with in and if I am truly to spread happiness I must first achieve happiness within myself. I have learned that when I am centered, grounded, and coming from a place of happiness and joy that I accomplish more.

 I have come to the realization that I can not look at the outcome I must look at the journey and find happiness in the process. I have also experienced the fact that it is not my job to bring people kicking and screaming into the world of being of service and value and that some will, some won’t, so what, some waiting, next. Many times happiness occurs when you remove the people and things that no longer serve you. I find myself most happy when I am in tune with Don Miguel Ruiz’s Four Agreements:

 When I am in alignment with these teachings I tend to be a bit happier than when I forget to practice these teachings. I have learned over time through the spiritual awakening process that there will be people who say they are going to do something and do not so you accept that fact and love them anyway. As long as you do what you believe is right in your heart and divinely directed you can achieve your inner happiness that will allow you to share outer happiness.
