SL04-04-NewYearsEve-FromEndingtoBeginning
Spei Lumina - Lights Of Hope
Christmas may have come and gone almost a week ago, but liturgically at least, we are still in the Christmas Season until Epiphany on January 6th. As this is being recorded on New Year’s Eve, I thought I’d share a simple meditation of some beautiful Epiphany prayers to closer out our earthly remembrance of the year 2022 and to embark with surer footing on that path to Epiphany this year where we ask to be like the Magi, transformed, enkindled, renewed by God’s manifestation of the Light of the World within and through our own lives.

SL04-03 From Love, Of Love, For Love
Spei Lumina - Lights Of Hope
For those of you who observe Lent and Easter, I hope that yours was a blessed Lenten season and Easter celebration. I hope that all listeners have had a blessed Winter and the budding leaves and flowers and green of Spring instills hope to the beauty of this year that lies ahead. During Lent, I came across this quote from David Benner which really spoke to my soul: “We are created from love, of love, for love. Our existence makes no sense apart from Divine Love.” — David G. Banner It is so easy in the hustle and bustle of life to forget this. It is...

SL04-02 Gathering in the Sanctuary of the Soul Before Gathering Thanksgiving
Spei Lumina - Lights Of Hope
My thanksgiving prayer for you is that you too may transcend the moment at your gathered tables, transcend any tension, any worry, any resentment, any hurt and tap into your own heart energy and be aware of the memories being made, the love being shared, the love present, the affection felt. Love is eternal. It is in those moments of love, we leave our presence in this world. It is in those moments of love, we are still felt after we are gone and we likewise still feel those who have passed.

SL04-01 Beyond Seeking and Receiving the Light of Hope to Broadcasting it To All
Spei Lumina - Lights Of Hope
In the July, 1937 issue of The Inner Life there is an article entitled, “A Challenge to Metaphysicians” the author asks siblings in spiritual ministry to consider developing the Christ Consciousness by starting their meetings with his invocation and prayers. What follows is my adaptation of his invocations as an imaginal prayer exercise, helping us to invite that Light of the Christ consciousness within so that we in turn may broadcast that Light, that Love, that truth out to all in these trying time

SL03-12 Nourishing the Soul
Spei Lumina - Lights Of Hope
I recently came across the Gnostic influenced Manichaean writings that really seemed to speak to my soul. Manichaeism would be condemned by the Latin Church as a heresy, the Manichaean writings provide a richness that speaks more true to the human condition as a soul embodied, incarnated in this physical body we live and experience this earthly life than most of the Christian spiritual writings ever shed on the soul. I hope you too find it just as enriching as I did.

SL03-11 Imaginally Exploring The Dimension of Love Through Scripture
Spei Lumina - Lights Of Hope
In this age we live in with so much dissension and rhetoric dividing humanity across the globe, I thought it important to remind ourselves of the mandatum Christ left his followers, “To love one another as I have loved you.” The love that Christ was speaking about and instructed and lived out by example is not solely a feeling, or an emotion, rather, it is a dimension with which to live your life. The dimension of love connects you to the divine in a way that no other dimension can.

What a year it has been.
Who would have imagined that 2020 would bring us the global COVID-19 pandemic and all that resulted from it — the deaths, the infections, the social isolation, the economic impact locally, nationally and globally?
Who would have imagined how contentious the U.S. 2020 Presidential election would be and that we’d have a sitting president long after the electoral college met and voted fail to concede the election to his successor?
Who would have imagined the long overdue cry for racial justice and equality here in the United States rising to a fever pitch and challenging all Americans to acknowledge the Black Lives Matter movement?
Although I haven’t enjoyed all of the social isolation; nor the ugliness and shadow we were all faced to deal with within ourselves and observed in others; nor the economic impact this shutdown and continued responses to curtail the spread of COVID-19 has wreaked upon the livelihoods of friends, family, and neighbors; nor the suffering and struggle those who came down with COVID-19 went through; nor the sadness, grief, and pain those who lost their battle with COVID-19 went through — many isolated and alone without family in the hospital and the grief their loved ones left to mourn them had to go through — many not able to gather together in person with their larger family and clan to celebrate the life of their loved one who died of COVID-19, 2020 will always be a special year for me.
In the last hours of 2020 I have to look back and realize 2020 has not been a total wash out for me. I hope I can keep the awareness and knowledge I’ve gained in 2020 to help shape all the New Years ahead 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024….
May we all take the awareness and growth gained from 2020 and do our part to make all the New Years ahead better and better and better.
As I said last year, I have a strong feeling that 2020 and the decade it will define is going to be a tremendously blessed time for humanity, for light workers, for the cosmos as we all grow in awareness and raise our vibrations to the higher realms.
I can think of no better way to close out 2020 and eagerly anticipate 2021 and the decade that is bursting to unfold within the cosmos than to imaginary pray Alice Bailey’s “The Great Invocation.”
I hope you will be able to participate in this imaginal prayer as 2020 comes to an end and 2021 begins. Regardless of if you are able to do it literally as 2020 ends and 2021 begins are several hours, days, weeks, months later — I know the collective power of all the intentions and imaginings of light within the cosmos will energetically illuminating the hearts, minds and souls of all within the cosmos.
Please join me.
