Spiritual Awakening: After The Rain!!!

Spiritual Awakening: After The Rain!!!

As I sit down to type this entry I am at my local Starbucks in Sunrise, Florida and there is a fierce rain storm brewing outside. As I observe this storm I begin to think of the storms that we may have in our own personal, professional, and spiritual lives and realize that after the rain there is a rainbow. How many times do we complain about the storms in our life instead of being appreciative of the rainbow? I have learned that complaining only makes the storm worse. I have come to realize that if GOD brought you to the storm he will bring you through it. In growing personal, professionally, and spiritually we must realize that there will be storms and how we deal with these storms will determine what we attract into our lives. I have come to adopt the anthem that a positive attitude during a storm will propel you to altitudes that you never imagined. Through the spiritual awakening process I have found music to be a great tool to bring me through the storm.
This song from The Byrds based on Ecclesiastes has helped me to take action despite being caught in a storm as I have come to realize that we each have a season and that there is a time for every purpose under heaven. It is when we realize that there is balance in our lives that we are able to come through the storms stronger than we were before. In moments of introspection I have learned that in order to weather a storm I must be willing to change the way I go about things during the storm. In many cases I have fund that I am the cause of the storm because I was disconnected from GOD and forgot that the plans he has for me are far greater than my own plans. In these cases I take actions to get reconnected.

 

I have found that doing daily reflections and meditations and then looking at my accomplishments such as being a featured author in Sources of Wisdom Book 2 and Sources of Wisdom Book 3 to be great tools to help weather any storms.  When I changed the focus from I can’t to I can and stopped making excuses and pointing fingers at others I found myself more aware and awake with an ability to face everything and rise instead of forgetting everything and running. It was when I decided to take action and detach from outcomes by reminding myself that all I can control is myself and my reactions to things that I began to attract more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into my life. I have found that by reciting the serenity prayer daily that I can weather any storm.

Spiritual Awakening: Shelter From The Storm!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Shelter From The Storm!!!

 

As I read my Facebook feed over the last week I realized just how spiritually deficient many people are as they were so busy arguing for or against same sex marriage and the removal of the confederate flag. I decided that I would do my best by  implementing my philosophy of DNH, Do No Harm. I decided that rather than taking sides I would look at the big picture which is that fact that we need a huge spiritual awakening in the world. It was after seeing all the ironic things happening like WALMART not selling confederate flags but still receiving goods from China and people focusing on GAY Marriage instead of The TPP  that I thought we need a shelter from this storm. We know that from the beginning of time there has been divisiveness used as a way to control the masses. Organized religion has become a divisive part of our society  and many have forgotten the basic principles of the teachings of the scripture and thus we have allowed evil to rule the day. Nowhere in the scriptures does it say you need a fancy church or temple all it states is when two or more are gathered I am present. Nowhere does it say to judge others. Most of the issues we are having in today’s society is occurring because of radical interpretation of the scriptures. As much as I refer to the bible I also understand that it was man’s interpretation that has led to some of the most tragic events in the history of the world. It is important for you to do your research and to have a relationship to the higher power and understand that whatever you call it he knows your name and sees all that you do and can be your shelter in a storm. I have  found that when I create a scared space and meditate and communicate with GOD, The Angels, and The Ascended Masters that I am guided to make a difference in my life and in the lives of others. I was asked the other day what religion I am and I said I do not have a religion I am a spiritualist and I have a relationship with GOD and Jesus and this works for me. When I told a pastor this he went off ans said you can not expect salvation if you use those oracle cards. I said hold on isn’t Jesus and Ascended Master who works with the Archangels to deliver messages so as to guide us to have a life filled with peace, love, joy, and prosperity. The pastor was at a loss and simply walked away. I have come to realize that we can all be shelters in the  storm if we actively work to take judgement out of the equation. I have come to understand that the bible is basic instructions before leaving earth.

When we make a conscious effort to rebuke the storm in the name of GOD we are able to move forward on our spiritual path and become enlightened beings so as to better be of service and value to others. It is when we become a shelter from the storm and help others to find their way that we become stronger. It is when we take that walk in nature and find a sacred place to meditate or pray that we are able to face our storms and then become a shelter from the storm. It is ironic that as i write this entry there is a thunderstorm happening outside the window and while others are complaining I take solace in knowing that GOD gave me shelter from the storm. The storms in nature are necessary so as to nourish the land just as storms in our life are necessary to nourish our soul. As we experience storms we can become shelters of storms or build shelters that will help people until the storm passes.

Spiritual Awakening: Waking America Up To Positivism!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Waking America Up To Positivism!!!

 

As we celebrate the birth of The American Nation this week let us look back and honor those who awakened and rose up to give us the inalienable right to pursue happiness. Our forefathers didn’t like how they were  being treated so they revolted against what they perceived to be tyranny and misrepresentation. They became action takers and realized that they were divinely driven to make their world a better place. They made many sacrifices and many would describe their battle as a spiritual awakening as they realized that they had the GOD given right to be happy and prosper. Over the years the 4th of July has become simply a day off for parades and barbecues and don’t forget the fireworks.  However for me the 4th of July has taken on a different meaning it is a day where I can wake up my community to the concept of positivism, which is finding a way to be positive while being of service and value.  The 4th of July over the years meant I could exercise my right to freedom of assembly and spread some positive energy to those I came in contact with.  I remember a 4th of July in 1989 where I met The Coral Springs Jaycees for the first time as they were sponsoring The 4th of July Activities in Coral Springs and circulating a petition to ban the burning of The American Flag. As someone who had many family members and friends serve our country I had no problem in signing the petition. I was invited to their meeting. I attended that meeting and I saw The Jaycees Creed for the first time.

The Jaycees CreedThe Jaycee Creed

That night was part of the furthering of my spiritual awakening process. I quickly began to get involved in projects and saw first hand the difference you can make when you commit to the concept of positivism. The Jaycees Creed has become one of my anthems to remind me daily that I have a purpose to help other people excel and to wake people up to the concept of positivism.

Spiritual Awakening: Pressing On!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Pressing On!!!

 As I drove to Starbucks today (5/23/14) I was listening to Reach FM and this song was playing on the radio. I started to think since my spiritual awakening how many times I have pressed on despite the trials and tribulations that have been presented in my life. I have been asked several times JDOGG how do you keep moving forward? My answer, I become an action taker and I press on. I have come to realize during the spiritual awakening process that there are some that will, some that won’t so I say so what as there are some waiting and move on to the next person. I have discovered that I will not resonate or have a vibrational mix with everyone and that not everyone will share my passion and enthusiasm for life. The key is to be committed to pressing on and moving in a positive direction of your goals and dreams. I have discovered that as long as I shine my light and give glory to GOD that I will be able to press on and find success.

 In pressing on I have adopted this as an anthem to remind me to continue on my quest toward spiritual enlightenment. I have begun to ask myself everyone morning how I can be of service and value to others? I have made it a point to press on by being committed to make a difference in the lives of others and thus enhance my personal and professional life.  In pressing on and never giving up I have been able to experience a myriad of successes. In taking action and getting involved in the community I have seen changes being made because of people coming alive and committing to press on and stay positive. In pressing on I have had dreams come true like announcing a championship football game or emceeing a large community event.

 I was reflecting during the spiritual awakening process as I was working through releasing what a sixth grade teacher had told me 37 years ago that I wouldn’t amount to much. I shred the story how I overcame the diagnosis of a specific learning disability and the negatives associated with that diagnosis. I got my payback in 1988 when I was assigned to substitute teach at my old middle school. There I was in the teacher’s lounge when that teacher came in an I stood up and introduced myself and told her that I substituting teaching there and asked so how are you liking me know.  This story reminds me that no one can hold you back but yourself and how important it is to overcome and press on.

Spiritual Awakening: Standing In Your Power!!!!

Spiritual Awakening: Standing In Your Power!!!!

 As I sat down to write this entry at 5:30 PM today (10/21/13) I kept getting this message stand in your power. As I have been on my spiritual path of awakening that will lead to enlightenment I have learned that the power we need to succeed is found within us. It is our spirit, our vibration, our energy that affects the energy flow. It is our actions and reactions that determine how far along this path to self actualization that we get. There are guides and tools available to us but it is we who must commit to stand in our power and not waver on walking in our truth. As I searched for Standing In Your Power I came across the book that is highlighted here. Many times for us to stand in our power we need to connect with someone who is standing in there power. When you begin to surround yourself with those who are standing in their power you begin to stand in your power and your awakening strengthens and then you realize there is nothing outside of yourself that can hold you back for you have the power to create the life you want.  It is in the standing of your power and understanding you have a purpose and  saying I am a powerful, strong  person who has awakened spiritually and will make a positive impact on this world that you truly become that enlightened self actualized person that no one can stop.

 I have found that this bible verse has become a very powerful tool to help me and other to stand in our power. I have also found that when you stand in your power and shine your light you make a mind, body, soul connection that will propel you to new heights.  You have a divine power tat has been given to you that when you embrace it and stand in your power you will find  that you are positively impacting your life and the lives of those around you. Sometimes you will find that there will be doubters who do not understand that you are transforming. To them I say Thank you and have a nice day.  You have a calling and the day you discover that calling  and stand in your power is the day that your life changes.
