https://enlighteninglife.com/greed-grift-graft-spiritual-industry/We are watching, in real time, the collapse of the guru era — the for-profit spiritual industry built on glamour, paid access, and manufactured enlightenment. This is not only about Deepak Chopra’s infamous relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, although that plays a part.

So this moment of reckoning does not surprise me. The truth always rises. And the collapse of the guru economy was inevitable. Now the curtain has finally been pulled back and people are left wondering whom to trust.

My work as a spiritual mentor, teacher, and guide began by accident, first in 1991 when I started a spiritual group in Houston, Texas that quickly grew to include hundreds of members. Then in 2004, when I answered a calling that required me to give up a career I loved in business and technology. I never saw myself as a ‘leader,’ I did not want to be a ‘guru,’ I just wanted to help people find their own path and learn how to be in control of their own energy.

Since 2004 I have written 8 books, all self-published, all best sellers. No ‘famous’ author has ever written a promotional blurb for me, I was not part of their crowd. I have written over 5000 articles, started the first internet-based live weekly broadcast in March 2004 that I still host today. I started teaching online courses in March 2004, an early pioneer in online training.

https://enlighteninglife.com/february-2026-energy-report/What do you think is possible when a month starts with every personal planet in Aquarius and a full moon in Leo, and those aspects have only happened 3 times in 2500 years -- 85, 1300, and 1772, (since 500 BC which is when recorded astrology began)?

And that is not all. We have Saturn entering Aries for the first time since 1996, a Saturn/Neptune conjunction at the 0 Aries Point – the start of the zodiac – and has never happened in recorded history. And there is an eclipse too.

To add to the mix of energies in February, Mercury will be going retrograde in Pisces to establish yet another Alpha Omega Portal. It’s going to be month to remember. You heard it here first.

February is a 3 month – the number of creativity. February is the 2nd month (2) and 2026 is a 1 year, 2 + 1 = 3. 3 represents creativity, communication, first stage expansion – beyond limitation, and a new level of awareness. So if you are feeling creative, do something about it. Take an art or a dance class, take up photography, make something, cook, bake, or explore new places.

February will feel like the real beginning of 2026. And if 2025 was a limiting year for you, then 2026 will be expansive – at least it has the potential to be. How and if that happens is up to you. And if you didn’t feel it in January, don’t worry, that is not what the rest of the year will be like. January was still holding dense energy from 2025 and with a heavy Capricorn signature, it was not going to be a very fun month.

https://enlighteninglife.com/january-2025-energy-report/Happy New Year! What a big shift moving into 2026 has been. It was a little hard for me to adjust to this lighter, more powerful energy. Was it for you too? I usually have the January Energy Report and the new year predictions ready to post on January 1 but not this year. I am finally re-grounding from celebration mode because I am so relieved and happy that 2025 is over. And I know I am not alone.

We are in a new energy cycle and January is the first month so that sets us on a new trajectory. Avoid thinking too much about all the things you do not want to do in 2026, all of the challenges you overcame, and all of the trauma of 2025. 2026 is not like 2025 or any year before it. It’s a new paradigm that is a fresh start so gear up, lights up, and wings out.

It’s a new paradigm, a new energy cycle, a new portal, and we’re ready to soar. You can read the rest of the January 2026 Energy Report on the website blog page at this link.

https://enlighteninglif.samcart.com/products/gps-2026-programIt’s officially the end of 2025 and while you may be glad to see this year end, don’t spend too much time dwelling on what happened in the past because what you must do now is focus forward in the present. If 2025 was a year of clarity, disclosure, uncomfortable truths, and uncertainty in the face of assumed paradigms being disrupted beyond repair, you got powerful insights into what is not working and cannot work moving forward.

This year’s 2026 message is different from what I have published since 2008. Rather publishing predictions, I am giving you some resources to make the most of the powerful paradigm shift that 2026 represents. And my GPS 2026 program is available too. It includes my High Vibes Wealth™ Living program, my popular Manifestation framework, with a 12 month guided planner and monthly calls. The opening of this new energy cycle is so important that I want to be part of that journey with you. Details are on the website at this link.

If you are feeling a little overwhelmed by what happened in 2025, it’s to be expected. It was a year of reckoning that lived up to its ‘9’ symbology – closure and endings. We learned a lot in 2025, about who people really are, who was our friend and who was not, how we cannot turn relatives into ‘family’, how our assumptions of behavior because of ‘labels’ can create a lot of chaos, and that we had to make choices for our own benefit, without considering what others wanted or needed.

It’s here, the end of the year and it is more than just a date. In December we complete several important energy cycles and prepare for new adventures in 2026. We now have Saturn and Neptune direct in Pisces, completing their rare and powerful transit. Neptune has been in Pisces since 2011, carefully holding space for our spiritual growth as we went through the tumultuous aspects of 2012 and then 2020 through 2025. Its mission in protecting and supporting our ascension cycle is complete and it moves into Aries to support our new integrated ascension path.
So it’s fitting that December is a double 3 energy – 12th month is a 3 and December 2025 is a 3 as 12 + 9 = 21, 2 + 1 = 3. And in the tarot 21 is the World card, the final card in the major arcana. We also have a triple 3 on December 3 and 30, which we also had this year on March 30 and 30. This has definitely been a year for mastery and we are approaching the end so it’s time to wrap it up and prepare for something new.
33 is the number of mastery but this is less about accomplishment than it is achievement. We achieve mastery with understanding and knowledge, and often acceptance. For many years, since 2004, I have said that our toughest lesson is acceptance and we have certainly had that in 2025. Mastery may feel like failure when our mastery includes lessons in clarity, energetic misalignment, and the realization that our relatives will never be ‘family.’ Or that the people we have tried so hard to bring to the light prefer to be in darkness. Mastery isn’t a victory that we win, it’s a new level of self-awareness that we achieve when we learn to manage and control our energy and focus on our joy and fulfillment.

https://enlighteninglife.com/november-2025-energy-report/This year has been a struggle for me and I know for many of you. For me it was the first year in 7 years that I have not been in constant, horrible pain. That finally ended in December 2024 but getting back to a normal daily routine has been a struggle. I was dealing with the pain for so long that my normal routine had to be abandoned for what I could do. So this year has been a catch-up and I am finally getting to the point where I can feel productive and motivated again.

And how fitting that it happens in this November with its double 11 vibration. It’s the 11th month and 2025 + 11 = 11. This means more emphasis on new beginnings, new pathways, and exploring new potentials. It doesn’t mean having to do your life over as we never start from zero. It means learning to let go of what you can no longer serve and start serving your own needs.

What do you want? What would bring joy to your life? What does a joyful, stress-free and challenge free life look like? The karma cycles that have kept us in energetic bondage for lifetimes are unraveling as we see in the end of relationships that are now well and truly over, rather than in the way you have been trying to get them to go.

That especially includes the relatives you call ‘family’ and have been trying to create your definition of family with. How many of you now realize that you can no longer get these people to become the family you want to have? Once you release your expectations you can see if a new type of relationship can be created – but don’t hold your breath. And remember that your mother, father, siblings, and close relatives are your first line of karma partners. Keep that in mind if you see an implosion happening with them, when you learn

https://enlighteninglife.com/toxic-family-new-energy-community/ For 15 years I have been talking about how we are creating space for our energetic family and we have been seeing examples of that happening. Whether it has fully happened for you yet, is just a matter of time. Like a slowly approaching tide, the truth that we have been trying our best to avoid is here.
For decades and lifetimes we have been working hard to bring our karma group to the light. These are the people you can ‘family’ in this lifetime. And for decades and lifetimes they have resisted our efforts, often in devastating ways. But we are at an energetic crossroads and it is time to make a decision that will change our lives from this moment forward.

The karma ties that bind us to the people we call our family, the biological ties that we assume to also imply emotional commitment, are unraveling and with it, the dawning realization that we can no longer bring light to people who prefer to be in the dark.

The illusion of family that we have held for so long through our sole efforts is crumbling beneath the weight of the darkness we thought we had to endure to fulfill this mission. In its place we will form energetic families, our 5D communities, people who are aligned with us energetically, who truly ‘love, honor, and respect’ us. People who can appreciate us and who value who we are, our light, and our efforts.
On an emotional level this can be difficult. On an energetic level, though, it is something whose time has come.

If you have been frustrated, saddened, and even traumatized by people who do not value you, who dismiss, betray, abandon, and reject you, a change is coming. It means that you will have to abandon some dreams and goals while simultaneously welcoming others. It is not a time to grieve – you have done your best to achieve the impossible. Instead, celebrate your release from the commitments that have bound you to lifetimes of sacrifice while enjoying the change that will come from having relationships that are easy, fun, fulfilling, and joyful.

https://enlighteninglife.com/octobe-2025-energy-report/The first thing I noticed about October is the double 10 energy. October is the 10th month and October 2025 is a 10 (10 + 2025 = 10). Remember in numerology you break numbers down to single digits between 1 and 9. After the double 9 of September, which created completion, closure, and release, October’s 10 energy means action, movement, and reclamation. 10 is the staff of action, 1, with the 0 of potential. 0 is not ‘nothing’, it is no thing, pure potential waiting for us to set an intention for energy to manifest.

And one more thing about October, in the midst of the action, the month opens with the moon in Capricorn, harkening back to the heavy Capricorn action we had from 2020 to 2024 with both Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn and the infamous Saturn/Pluto conjunction of March 2020. This is not a dire prediction of bringing back the restrictions, evil, and 3D energies of that time. Rather it’s time for reckoning, not reconciliation and I believe that in October we are going to see many examples of reckoning and retribution.

October’s full moon on the 6th is a call to action, taking us from the heavy lessons of Virgo and Pisces in August and September to the bold, brave action of Aries with some cautions. It is not the time to go blasting off into the stratosphere; rather, it’s time to make careful plans and focus on elevation, rather than escape. Take the careful planning of Virgo, together with the highest potential of Pisces and use that to plan deliberate, intentional action.

https://enlighteninglife.com/disappoint-inconvenience2/When talking to clients who are preparing to make big life changes, especially those who are kind hearted, gentle, forgiving, and compassionate empaths (which includes many of you), they will inevitably say that they don't want to disappoint someone in their life, who may not like or appreciate the changes they are considering.
It can be disappointing to someone who is very connected to us and who counts on us and our presence in their lives to have that suddenly disappear when we are unavailable to meet or serve their needs. But are they really disappointed, in the real sense of the word, or just inconvenienced because now what they depended on you for has to be done by someone else, or they have to do it themselves?
Disappointment or inconvenience -- there is a huge difference that you should know so you make choices that serve you and your intention from an empowered, guilt-free and shame free perspective with your energy resources intact and standing on the firm platform of your energy boundaries.
What is the difference between disappointment and inconvenience? For example, if I invited you to attend an event with me, was looking forward to spending time with you, thought that you would enjoy yourself, and knew that we would have a great time together., and you couldn't go, I would be disappointed because I really wanted to spend time with you.
But, if I had an invitation to an event, needed someone to go with, asked you because I thought you would be available and then you cancelled, I would be inconvenienced (but say that I was disappointed) because now I need to find someone else to go with me or go by myself.

https://enlighteninglife.com/september-2025-energy-report/Some months carry such a big energy signature that they announce their arrival days or weeks before they begin. I have been feeling the shift in energy as September approaches for the past two weeks. It’s the reason I moved all of the furniture in my office around, move the supplies and fulfillment for my Peau D’Ange Skin Care to a bigger space, decided to paint my dining room, and make some significant life changes.
Those are fitting actions in a month whose number 9 invites endings, closure, release, replacement, all to make way for beginnings. The 9 of September in the 9 of 2025 is a 9. Did you know that one of the properties of the number 9 is that any number that is a multiple of 9 always adds up to a 9? It’s the only number with this property.
The powerful 9, which is the anchored energy of the 8 expresses itself on September 1 which is a 10 day, new beginnings. All month we are invited to consider new potentials, allow new possibilities, be open to new perspectives, and to explore new horizons. And if this inspires and motivates you to get out of the long-term energetic doldrums you may have been in, I urge you to remember what I always say, ‘It’s for now, not forever.’
With the vast potential of September the one thing that can stop the expression of its energy is our quest to find the perfect solution, the one perfect thing that we can count on to work and endure forever. Nothing does that. Small steps achieve big goals and part of the small step is to do what is right and best for today, and change course when necessary.
