PRESENT TIME • 3 min read

“Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future,
concentrate the mind on the present moment.”

~ Buddha

ESSENCE: The only time is present time.

Present Time is occurring NOW, as you are reading these words. Life on Earth only exists in present time, as past memories and future dreams are illusions. Besides, humans fabricated time. Before we inhabited the Earth, life simply existed in a state of being.

In other words, time doesn’t really exist. It is purely a human mechanism for managing our lives. Outside this human framework, all other organisms live in the NOW, as there is no yesterday or tomorrow in their consciousness. Of course, some organisms learn things and use that knowledge at a later date. Although, let’s not confuse this with having a framework of time.

In the 1902 book Sun Dials and Roses of Yesterday by Alice Morse Earle, she noted the wisdom, “Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That’s why it is called the present.” Within this human mechanism known as time, it is important that we place great emphasis on being fully present.

Sleeping Souls generally spend very little time in present time. Their minds tend to race, dwelling on past traumatic memories and/or worrying about the future. Those who are dwelling mainly on past memories most likely view themselves as victims. Those who are worrying mainly about future times most likely view themselves as dreamers. This may be challenging to accept, but both victims and dreamers are living illusions. Both miss out on the beauty of Nature and human interactions, because they spend very little time being present. Their resistance to being here now is a clear indication that they are living in the past and/or the future. Their resistance is a reflection of them not accepting life as is, when it is. Rather, they create self-imposed resistance to what is, wishing things were different then what they are. Some Sleeping Souls attempt to control situations and/or people based on their own desire to make things how they ought to be. Some begin to seek.

Seekers tend to learn the importance of being fully present. As they transcend to the new paradigm of regenerative living, their perspectives eXpand, realizing the power of NOW! They release their old limiting thought of working hard today in order to enjoy tomorrow. They tend to simply enjoy living in the present moment, learning and practicing to live life as the witness of what is.

Awakened have healed their past traumatic memory events, while embracing an unknown future, living in present time. They are grateful for the blessing of simply being alive. They tend to realize that their greatest level of focus, strength, and creativity all occur in present time. And through being fully present and focused, they tend to have a daily practice that keeps them aligned with their Spirit energy….

I am living fully in the present,
open to all possibilities.

Do you dwell on the past, worry about the future, or live in present time?

Do you enjoy your present-day life?

What is one commitment you will make to yourself that will improve your life NOW?

SPIRIT ENERGY • 3 min read

“I used to live in a room full of mirrors;
all I could see was me. I take my spirit and I crash my mirrors,
now the whole world is here for me to see.”

~ Jimi Hendrix

ESSENCE: Spirit is energy.

Spirit Energy is infinite energy; Sanskrit calls it prana, whereas Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) calls it chi. A strong body with a positive mindset and an open heart connects us to this powerful and limitless energy.

Perseverance draws from Spirit energy. Spirit energy is our life energy force, which returns to the pool of life energy upon our passing. Spirit energy enters through the crown chakra. As we utilize this energy to animate ourselves and experience life, we learn and grow, eXpanding our Souls.

Sleeping Souls tend to survive only on mental and body energies, without realizing their Spirit energy is also at work. Many Sleeping Souls are tired of the daily grind, working so hard to make ends meet, only to come home, ignore their families, and crash on the couch in front of the television. Some Sleeping Souls realize that there must be more to life. Some begin to seek.

Seekers tend to make dramatic changes in their lives, and quickly. For starters, they tend to stop watching television, stop reading the newspaper, and limit their time on the internet and social media by establishing a maximum of an hour a day. Many claim, “To Hell with Cell”, eliminating their expensive cell phone by replacing with a free internet phone, eliminating their cell bill(s) forever. They recognize that all of these platforms are filled with fear, doubt, worries, drama, and insecurity, thus forming a dark vortex of low-vibrating frequencies that many Seekers no longer desire in their lives. Many begin walking or jogging. Many begin a daily spiritual practice, which may include yoga, meditation, and/or journaling. Many start hiking in the woods, reconnecting with Nature. Many give up fast foods, stop drinking soda, and begin to drink a lot of water. In hindsight, they tend to realize that what was holding them captive to their Sleeping Souls’ lifestyle was their fear of change, their fear of the unknown. Most every Seeker feels blessed for encountering the gauntlet of challenges required for change, thus building a stronger connection with their Spirit energy through Self-love and compassion. Their Souls begin to awaken.

Awakened realize they are no longer threefold beings (3D), but fivefold beings (5D), comprising heart, mind, body, Spirit, and Soul. Their sleeping Souls have awakened through the opening of their hearts, learning to trust and leverage their intuitive impulses and creative imaginations. They tend to realize that their Souls are their very being, their ESSENCE. Their Spirit energy, moreover, is their life energy force, connecting their Souls with other Souls. They tend to understand the connections among all dimensions of being, realizing the importance of balance in their lives. They have successfully healed traumatic energy events from their past. Many Awakened tend to not dwell too much on the past nor worry about the future, because they don’t live in fear. Rather, they live in a frequency of love, immersed in their heart energy….

I am deeply connected with my Spirit energy, which protects and guides me.

Do you know Spirit energy exists?

Do you know that your Spirit is your life-force energy that keeps you alive?

How open is your heart?

How strong is your body?

How positive is your mindset?

HEART ENERGY • 3 min read

“Your heart is the size of an ocean.

Go find yourself in its hidden depths.”

~ Yogi Amrit Desai

ESSENCE: Heart energy is emotional energy fueled by our Spirit energy.

Heart Energy is emotional energy fueled by our Spirit energy, centered around our heart chakra, which is known to be the center of love, compassion, forgiveness, and emotional balance. The heart chakra is the energy center that distributes heart energy throughout the body, mind, and aura. It plays a crucial role in our emotional and spiritual well-being.

Practitioners of self-care tend to focus on creating and sustaining heart energy though practices such as meditation, mindfulness, yoga, visualization, acts of kindness, engaging with Nature, creative activities, and energy healing. They know the power of doing so.

Some key aspects of heart energy include an emotional center, balance and harmony, energetic flow, healing and transformation, and a connection to our higher selves.

The emotional center governs our ability to form meaningful relationships grounded in balance and harmony. The emotional center also clears energy blocks to create greater energetic flow. We’re able to heal ourselves, fostering personal growth. Our heart chakra also connects us to higher states of consciousness, Divine love, and spiritual awareness.

Sleeping Souls tend to remain unaware of their ability to generate heart energy on their own. Rather, their tendency is to think that heart energy just happens. Many Sleeping Souls remain unaware that heart energy even exists. They tend to be more mind focused, figuring out what they need to do next. Many were taught to cover up their feelings, as expressing them is a sign of weakness. Some Sleeping Souls are taught that love is conditional, as they must behave a certain way to receive the love they desire. Some begin to realize this is a form of manipulation. Some begin to seek.

Seekers soon discover their ability to generate heart energy, which enables them to feel more love, joy, and compassion in their lives. Many Seekers tend to make dramatic changes in self-care, perhaps discovering meditation, yoga, and mindfulness practices for the first time. Many learn about the various forms of energy, and how to best manage the energies within their control, including their heart energy. Additionally, many Seekers rebalance their masculine (pingala) and feminine (ida) energies. They have grown to realize that the collective energy is currently way out of balance, too heavy in pingala energy…. the masculine ego mind at work. This is why there are numerous wars occurring throughout the world. Seekers are doing their part to rebalance the world by rebalancing themselves. This process of rebalancing is free will, occurring one Seeker at a time.

Awakened are energetically balanced, thus enlightened to the power of their heart energy. They live life with their hearts open, vibrating at a higher frequency. They experience greater love, joy, freedom, prosperity, and peace in their lives, even amid the chaos. Most Awakened realize that heart energy coalesces with body energy….

I generate heart energy to experience greater love, joy, compassion, forgiveness, freedom, and peace.

Do you know that heart energy exists?

Do you know that your heart energy coalesces with body energy to animate your body and fire up your mind?

What are you willing to commit to in order to generate greater heart energy in your life?

BODY ENERGY • 3 min read

“Rest when you’re weary. Refresh and renew yourself,
your body, your mind, your spirit. Then get back to work.”

~ Ralph Marston

ESSENCE: Our bodies receive and emit energy.

Body Energy reflects the physical condition of our bodies. Our bodies are the temples for our Souls, so the greater care we have for our temples, the more body energy we can hold and the more powerful we become. A key to full aliveness is having a healthy body.

Body energy is correlated to the physical condition of the temple it occupies. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), from 2017 through 2020 the prevalence of obesity in the U.S. among adults aged 20 years and older was 41.9%, while the prevalence in adolescents aged 12 through 19 was 22.2%. Chances are, these percentages are even higher now. This same pattern of obesity is occurring in many parts of the world. It’s time we get into strong physical shape!

Body energy is not limited to physical activity, such as walking, running, and jumping. Every cell, molecule, and atom carries knowledge and wisdom. Our bodies operate as our very own energetic antennae: We can sense how safe we are; when someone is staring at us; and the energetic vibrations of others, enabling us to tell instantly if someone is in a good or bad mood without them uttering a word. Our body energies helps us to feel our way through life, providing us with an additional layer of protection.

Sleeping Souls tend not to have a strong awareness of their body energies beyond physical activity. They tend not to explore the deeper senses of these energies, overlooking sensations, energy blocks, and intuitive impulses. Many Sleeping Souls regret their actions in hindsight, wishing they had followed their intuitive impulses. Yet when the opportunity arises again, many will repeat the same old patterns. This may be due to their lack of trust in the intangible aspects of life, including their higher Selves and the Divine order of life. Some begin to seek.

Seekers tend to learn to feel their way through challenges, utilizing their body energies to guide them. Their faith in the intangible and themselves continues to grow. They tend to treat their bodies as temples, realizing the correlation between their physical condition and the level of energy they can hold and emit. Nutrition becomes paramount. Many begin to exercise to lose body fat and build muscle. Seekers tend to eat organic foods, paying close attention to where their food comes from. And they tend to stay well hydrated and avoid genetically modified organisms (GMOs), processed sugar, and flour. They consciously choose what they ingest.

Awakened generally feel the joy of having a physical and intuitive body. Many are physically fit, honoring the body’s role and its needs, confident in following their intuitive “gut feelings.” Many observe a daily practice that includes physical exercise, nutritious eating, and meditation. They understand the correlation between a strong body and a clear mind. Many Awakened learn to access their dormant power by eXpanding their mind energy….

The stronger I make my body,
the more energy I can hold and emit.

Do you know that the stronger your physical body is, the more energy you can hold?

How much do you rely on your intuitive feelings to make decisions in your life?

What will you commit to do in order to strengthen your body?

MIND ENERGY • 3 min read

“All action results from thought, so it is thoughts that matter.”

~ Sai Baba

ESSENCE: Our minds receive and emit energy.

Mind Energy is powerful energy. Our minds constantly receive and emit energy. As it relates to the mind, energy is the strength and vitality required for sustained mental activity. When our minds are cluttered with drama, we block our creativity, and this limits the solutions to our challenges.

Our minds generate electricity, so the ideal circuit is one with the least resistance, called impedance, because it utilizes the greatest use of its electrical energy. Interestingly, the brain is more energetic when it’s less active. This is why meditation is so powerful.

Like energy attracts like energy. What we fear most is reflected in our current daily life. If our mindset is fixated on fear, doubt, worries, drama, insecurity, and a host of other limiting thoughts, then our lives will be negative and full of struggle. If our mindset is thriving with thoughts of love, prosperity, gratitude, respect, joy, and happiness, then our lives will be positive and in the Divine flow. What’s occurring in our inner lives gets reflected into our outer lives.

A misalignment between our conscious, unconscious, and subconscious minds sends mixed signals, or energetic vibrations, out into the Universe. By being unclear about our intentions, we set ourselves up for failures. By being clear about our intentions, then we can manifest our lives by design, instead of by default. The true success of living a vibrant and healthy life depends on having a vibrant and healthy mindset. A teacup is at its maximum usefulness when it is empty. A clear mind sustains a clear life.

Sleeping Souls generally have an unconscious, egoic mindset that is negative and/or cluttered with limiting thoughts. It’s not their fault; rather, it’s a result of being born and raised in the old paradigm. Many tend to not realize that their conscious mind is protecting their unconscious mind from change. The conscious mind was formed through our past experiences and is resistant to change. And since our present-day existence is a culmination of our past decisions, the conscious mind will protect the ego mind by keeping things as they are, because with change comes uncertainty. The irony is that the conscious mind will hold Sleep Souls captive to their current circumstances, even if these circumstances are not what they truly desire. Some begin to seek.

Seekers tend to learn the connection between their thoughts, emotions, decisions, and actions. They realize the collection of all these form their lives. Many seek ways to heal their ego minds, releasing negative, limiting beliefs, replacing them with a set of new paradigm knowings, establishing a conscious mindset of positive thoughts and ideas.

Awakened tend to realize that the subconscious mind is not a physical aspect of the human brain; it’s merely an energetic container of our shadows. Awakened have healed their shadows, living with a whole, clear, and conscious mind. Many Awakened realize that one of their greatest superpowers is seeing facets of life through a lens of respect….

My mind is filled with positive thoughts.

Are a majority of your thoughts positive or negative?

Do you have a prosperity or scarcity mentality?

Do you know that your innermost thoughts and emotions get reflected in your outer world of human experiences?

RESPECT • 3 min read

“Respect your efforts, respect yourself.
Self-respect leads to self-discipline.
When you have both firmly under your belt, that’s real power.”

~ Clint Eastwood

ESSENCE: Respect for ourselves, everyone, and everything is essential for living a harmonious and balanced life.

Respect is having regard for the feelings, wishes, rights, or traditions of ourselves, others, and all of life on Earth. When we are respectful with ourselves inwardly, then our tendency is to be respectful outwardly.

Living a respectful life involves treating everyone and everything with consideration, kindness, and dignity. It means valuing and honoring our own and other people’s feelings, perspectives, and rights. It also includes the consideration of cultural differences, displaying empathy, and being courteous in all of our interactions with life. Ultimately, living a respectful life leads to fostering positive relationships within our communities and the world around us.

Sleeping Souls have a greater tendency to be disrespectful to others, as many disrespect themselves. They tend to overlook this correlation of inward and outward respect, not realizing they generally mirror one another. Many tend to behave in ways that demean others’ feelings, perspectives, and/or rights. Their behavior can be rude, insensitive, and/or dismissive toward people and the Earth. Many Sleeping Souls have strained relationships and conflicts with other people, thus negatively impacting personal well-being and community harmony. Some begin to seek.

Seekers tend to learn that respect for everyone and everything is crucial for living a peaceful and harmonious life on Earth. Many who have been carrying feelings of guilt and shame learn to forgive, accept, and respect themselves. They tend to learn that self-care is self-respect, treating their bodies as the temple of their Souls. Many strive to repair and heal strained relationships in their lives, not only with people but with the environment, as the way we respect Nature is a reflection of how we respect ourselves.

Awakened respect. Most notably, they respect themselves. They realize respect is key to fostering trust and meaningful relationships. Their inner relationship of self-trust reflects outwardly into the world. They experience the peace and harmony that accompany their level of respect. The greater their respect, the greater their peace and harmony. Their tendency is to treat themselves, others, and the environment with consideration, kindness, and dignity. Awakened are accepting of cultural differences, displaying empathy and being courteous in all of their interactions with life. They tend to master their ability to foster positive relationships within their communities and the world around them. Awakened tend to be advocates of lifelong learning….

I respect myself, everyone, and everything.

Do you respect yourself?

Do you respect other people?

Do you respect animals?

LIFELONG LEARNING • 3 min read

“I like a teacher who gives you something

to take home to think about besides homework.”

~ Lily Tomlin as Edith Ann, Sesame Street

ESSENCE: Lifelong learning continues to eXpand our Souls.

Lifelong learning is the acquisition of knowledge or skills through experience, practice, study, and/or being taught. Learning is essential to our development. To be human is to desire to learn. By the time a baby reaches three months old, their desire to learn is evident. At the core of our Souls, there is a strong desire to keep learning, while acquiring wisdom through direct experience.

A limiting perspective that pervades our society in the United States is that learning is only necessary until we retire. So once we retire, the need to keep learning is no longer necessary. Unfortunately, many Americans tend to correlate the need to learn with their occupations and not with the need to eXpand their Souls.

Sleeping Souls tend to be stuck in a vortex of continuous drama, as the same things keep happening over and over again. Perhaps they are failing to realize that this is occurring because they are not capturing the ESSENCE of the learning–the golden nugget, which is often hidden within every experience of life. By not capturing the lesson, a similar experience will undoubtedly appear again at some point in the future. Resultingly, Sleeping Souls tend to continue to go in circles, and as they do, their life lessons tend to become harder and harder. Some are so stuck in their ways—driven by their need to be right—that they lead themselves directly into an emotional breakdown. It is then that many experience being hit over the head with a spiritual two-by-four. Some begin to seek.

Seekers tend to be learning that, to awaken our Souls and transcend, we need to acquire wisdom. Lifelong learning creates good judgment through experiencing life challenges. Seekers tend to realize that if they don’t learn from a life experience, it will certainly repeat itself in the future. However, if they find the golden nugget and capture the learning from the experience, then they eXpand, and the negative energy block is released, enabling greater flow.

Awakened tend to know that regenerative living involves continuous improvement, which depends on continuous learning. Many have adopted a knowing that experiences in life happen ‘for us’, not ‘to us’. They view themselves as students of life, not as victims of circumstances. They also tend to see that wisdom is acquired through learning, and that learning is acquired through life experiences. As self-improvement guru Tony Robbins states, “I’ve come to believe that all my past failures and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy.” Tony lives his life by applying his acquired wisdom….

I continue to learn throughout my lifetime.

Are you a student of life or a victim of circumstances?

Do you perceive setbacks in your life as stepping stones or failures?

Do these setbacks happen ‘to you’ or ‘for you’?

WISDOM • 3 min read

“Life is neither good or evil,

but only a place for good and evil.”

~ Marcus Aurelius

ESSENCE: Wisdom is developed through self-knowledge, good judgment, understanding others, and a willingness to learn directly through life experiences.

Wisdom is the quality of having experience, knowledge, and good judgment; it is the state of being wise. Wisdom is essential to our evolution. Wisdom is gained by learning directly through the challenges of life experiences. All challenges are potential wisdom makers. As we gain wisdom, we eXpand our Souls.

Stoicism is a philosophy for bold and effective leadership. It teaches the application of wisdom for purposes of self-control, and perseverance as a means to overcome destructive emotions, advocating for a life in harmony with Nature. Stoics tend to be natural born leaders.

Sleeping Souls tend to have low Self-awareness and avoid discomfort at all costs. When they continuously avoid discomfort, they live in denial. Living in denial is not an authentic way to live. Rather, it’s more like a fairyland in Hell, in that to the outside world they have successfully created an illusion that their lives are perfect, while all along, their Souls are in turmoil. For many, until they unleash their power by learning the lessons and capturing the wisdom, not much will change. They remain dazed and confused, unsure about what to do next. Some begin to seek.

Seekers tend to embrace discomfort because they are beginning to realize that discomfort is our higher Selves informing us that a lesson from the challenge at hand needs to be learned. They realize that discomfort leads them to their center of knowing. And when they acknowledge, accept, and integrate this learning into their lives, the negative energy releases and the discomfort dissipates. In other words, they discover comfort in the discomfort, because they know there is wisdom to be gained. However, if they don’t capture the learning, or if they deny the discomfort, this uncomfortable challenge will return again in the future. This is why many Seekers embrace discomfort, as they are on a journey to take on as many challenges as possible to transcend to a state of awakening, experiencing greater inner peace along the way.

Awakened tend to believe that our Souls experience One infinite life, comprised of an infinite number of chapters. Within each chapter we gain wisdom. And the wisdom gained along the way determines how consciously evolved our Souls are. Hence, the term old Soul recognizes an individual as consciously evolved through already having experienced numerous chapters of their infinite life. They tend to acknowledge the opportunity within every lesson learned, to have earned knowledge through learning the lesson, and to give thanks for all of their lessons, no matter how difficult. By having this awareness about learning, knowledge, and wisdom, they tend to discover their life purpose….

I rely on my wisdom to make
conscious choices for my life.

Do you consider yourself as being wise?

Do you contemplate your decisions in life before you take action?

What are three examples in your life when you did not contemplate your decision, and then in hindsight wished that you had?

LIFE PURPOSE • 3 min read

“We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean.
But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.”

~ Mother Teresa

ESSENCE: Our life purpose aligns with our true heart’s desires.

Wisdom consists of the central motivating aims of our life—the reasons we get up in the morning. Purpose can guide our life decisions, influence our behaviors, shape our goals, offer us a sense of direction, and create a purpose-driven life, all of which leads us to authentic happiness. According to spiritual wisdom, as long as we are still breathing, our life purpose has not yet been fulfilled. Discovering our life purpose is a journey, and it’s the Seeker who happens to discover it.

Spiritual chaplain Lisa Gruenloh defines our life purpose as “the aspect of us that is completely passionate about helping others in purposeful ways. Our passion helps us to identify our life purpose. Then, by connecting with our higher Selves, we’re effortlessly guided by our intuition, inspiring action.”

Sleeping Souls tend to snicker at the notion of having a life purpose. They write it off as religious nonsense. Rather, they get sucked into the illusion of success, which at the core is about gaining prestige, power, control, and money. They tend to believe the level of success they achieve is reflected by where they live, the size of their houses, the types of cars they drive, the schools their children attend, and the title on their business cards. Their conditional programming drives them to “keep up with the Joneses,” which leads them to purchase all this materialistic stuff, most likely discovering that they are not authentically happy. An internal uneasiness eats away at them, and yet they can’t pinpoint the source of their discomfort. Once they have suffered for long enough, some begin to seek.

Seekers tend to make tremendous progress in their journey when they discover and embrace their life purpose. For many of them, materialism becomes secondary and simplicity becomes primary. For many, their competitive nature transitions to a collaborative one. Their self-centeredness is often replaced with compassion for others, drama subsides and inner peace ensues, and knowing replaces fear, as they take inspired action to fulfill their life purpose. If they don’t happen to achieve their life purpose in their current chapter of life, then they will reincarnate to Earth at that same level of consciousness in their next chapter of their infinite life. This is why Guru Satya Narayana Goenka emphasizes the need to die with a purified mind.

Awakened tend to know that, by living their life purpose, they will not die in this chapter of their infinite life until their purpose is fulfilled. Once their life purpose is fulfilled, then they transcend to a higher dimension in the next chapter of their infinite life. They tend not to allow success to go to their heads, as they are simply fulfilling their life purpose. Many know that while they are here on Earth their life purpose involves collaborating with other people in order to create positive change….

I am fulfilled by serving my life purpose.

Do you know that everyone has a life purpose?

What is your life purpose?

Do you support others with serving their purpose?

CHANGE • 3 min read

“The decisions you make today,

determine the stories you tell tomorrow.”

~ Craig Groeschel

ESSENCE: Change is constant in life.

Change is to make or become different. Change is constant in life. “We cannot step into the same river twice.” If we view change as positive, we tend to discover that new options are always available. With options, we have choice. Having choice is free will. Our society is plagued by a limiting thought that affirms, “Accept each other for who we are because people don’t change that much.” The acceptance aspect is accurate; the don’t change aspect is not. By the time we are teenagers, we undoubtedly have a blueprint of our core values firmly embedded in our unconscious minds. This blueprint is our operating system that guides us through life.

However, at some point in life we may challenge this blueprint by questioning our current-day values. This is often a worthy exercise, as many times we discover that we’ve outgrown what we were taught earlier in our lives. Through this discovery we change, eXpanding to our greater power. The more we eXpand, the more powerful we become.

Sleeping Souls tend to be stuck in their ways, highly resistant to change, because they find it difficult to question their blueprint. Many would rather suffer than experience what is unknown. They tend to live in fear, mainly fear of themselves. As a result, many of them never take the time to truly challenge their core values, because if they did, they would discover that many of them are illusions. And as Sleeping Souls get older, they find it increasingly difficult to accept that they have been living an illusion, with constrictive thinking, and poor habits. As they continue to suffer, they often do not know how to heal their past traumatic memory events, which reveal themselves in the form of energy blocks in their bodies. Many continue to cling to these inaccurate illusions and negative energy blocks, hindering their happiness and aliveness. Many feel stuck. Some begin to seek.

Seekers come to realize that anything that separates is an illusion. Therefore, beliefs are illusions! When this realization occurs, they tend to challenge everything, including their core values, which are based on their illusionary beliefs. Seekers tend to learn from others who have gone before them, realizing that figuring out an infinite Universe is impossible. Therefore, their change comes through accepting the great mystery of life. “I don’t know is all I know” is a spiritual truth that many of them embrace.

Awakened, who were once Sleeping Souls, now see the world from an eXpansive perspective. They accept that they are an “infinite spiritual being having a finite human experience.” They view themselves as a student of life, always learning, changing, and growing. Many Awakened have learned that true change occurs when they transcend to a new regenerative life of heart-centeredness….

I am open to, and accept, all changes
that support my life purpose.

Do you know that you are capable of changing yourself?

Are you open to changing yourself?

If so, what area(s) of yourself are you willing to change? If not, why are you resistant to change?
