Dear Friends    

I have just returned from an adventure of a life-time.  I have been thinking about going on a pilgrimage to Southern India since 1999.  During this time of transition when every thing seems to be changing including myself, I thought this would be good step in my transition from the acceptance of my assigned identification, the one given me by society and the institutions in which I have been involved for the last 15 or 20 years, to who I really am.

I must admit; things worked out better than I expected.  Now my direction is clear and the need to drop of institutions and groups that I have outgrown in order to fulfill my life calling, my life work.  As of now, with my new awakening, my new life has begun. 

Yours can begin too, just by being willing to reclaim your beautiful, wonderful self, and by being willing to let go of all of those things that try to keep you locked into the projections that others have so unfairly, for the sake of their own comfort, have projected onto you.  Now is the time to live as your divine self in this new age.  It is a new age whenever each one of us decides to truly be free.

New Directions For 2012    

You haven't heard from me for the passed month because I was in Southern India at an Ashram studying Nada Yoga (the yoga of sound), doing deep silent meditation and movement, and visiting some of the largest Hindu temples in India.  My goal during this pilgrimage was to find clarity for my new path.

 

To my surprise, not really, to my expectations I really found it.  First I found that I had returned to the spiritual level I had attained while studying at Sat Yoga Institute in Costa Rica.  While there and upon my return to the United States, I was fully awake and feeling connected to everything.  Over the years, however, due to dealing with our ego driven culture and ego driven people, I lost the feeling of connection and oneness.  Now I have it back.

 

While there a very well respected teacher and friend suggested that I begin to lead workshops and work as a Spiritual Teacher.  I had never thought of myself as such, but I realized that I had the skills, talents, and background to do so, especially with a D. Min. in Spirituality.  In my institution there was no place for spiritual teachers or mystics.  If they existed they were pushed far out to the edge.  My institution served as a safe place and a womb for my personal growth and awakening, but did not have space available for me once it occurred.  Once I internalized the core of the religion and the beliefs there was no place for me.  This happens often. 

 

Mystical experiences that took place during this pilgrimage  reminded me that most of the trouble and turmoil during my professional life and even during childhood had to do with one thing--just one thing: treating people the way I wanted to be treated.  I became a target because I was honorable.  I was upstanding.  I didn't go along with wicked plans and manipulation and often brought them into the open.  I guess this always happens when people internalize the morality and ethics of the institution instead of supporting the institution by any means possible including going against its principles. 

 

I was upfront.  I was everything that God, and morality leads us to be.  I was, therefor, being punished not for doing wrong, but for being like God.  And for thwarting other people from doing things that were unjust.  This revelation to me released me from any negative feelings I had about my success or lack of success.  It freed me from feelings that I had been carrying for years about being unworthy and allowed me to awaken again.

 

I write all of this to say that you, if you are reading this newsletter and are on a spiritual path, may have the same negative feelings about not being "great success."  You may just be treated badly because you are in a community of people who are asleep and you are awake.  You are spiritual.  You are awake and like God.  Just think about that for a moment.  This may have been something plaguing you most of your life.   

 

And like the small, still voice said to me as I was sitting in a dark cave on Mt. Arunachella meditating:  "So in a sense, they weren't really rejecting you, they were rejecting the god in you."  Think about this and then decide on how you will choose your friends and the institutions in which you want to be involved.

  

I myself have decided to work free of any institution as a Spiritual Teacher and Life Coach offering workshops to free the human soul and to create the conditions where one can interact, heart to heart, with the Divine, whatever that may be called.  Now my new journey begins.  I will go where I am needed to help free people of the cages built from the internalized hopes, dreams, wishes and desires of others so that they, like every human being, will be able to cast them off and fulfill their own.   

 

I will never forget my mother institution, but now I have become a grown man who is going to do the work of God in the world.  The world is new and beautiful every day and all of us, all of us are a part of this great creation.

Do you do workshops.? Are you a spiritual teacher.? Do you spend a lot of time working to promote truth and justice?

If so Maestroconferencing may be just the tool you are waiting.  I used maestro conferencing when I worked as the Director of Racial and Social Justice for the UUA Joseph Priestly District.  It is easy to master and a dynamic, new way of doing presentations, having meetings, and creating virtual conferences for large or small groups. 

You can communicate with callers one on one with each person identified from start to finish.  You can form breakout groups in order to discuss your presentation.  You can open a main room where you present information and resources.  You can allow people to share in the room.  With maestroconferencing you can do a virtual workshop with people from all over the world by creating a classroom setting.

I was so moved with maestroconferencing that I decided to promote it.  Above you will find a l ink where you can try out Maestro Conference absolutely free to experience this powerful tool for teaching, networking, and doing presentation.
