January 11, 2015 Selecting the Crop
Continuing his discussion of Dr. Eben Alexander's experience of heaven, Dr.
Patrick looks at ways we can open up to the experience of the Infinite.
Before meditation, we can _set an intention_ that is not based on current
conditions. In doing so, we invite the possibilities instead of constraining
the outcome. In _gratitude_, we open the doorway to the sacred. Through
_allowing_, life will happen for us, and we need not force it.
We can think differently about our experience of stress. We can view it as our
body helping us rise to a particular challenge. Stress is not just functioning
in a survival mode---it is our body's way of managing our energy.
Five questions to consider for growing a new life experience:
* Is our crop really determined by our past growing season?
* Have we made stress our enemy or our ally?
* Are we opening to life more and more?
* Do we believe there is something more for us to discover?
* Will the crop that we choose produce a harvest that is in alignment with the gifts we are here to share?

January 04, 2015 Preparing the Soil
Planting a garden is such a beautiful metaphor for what we do in our lives
when we want to make a change and grow a beautiful life. We must set an
intention (plant a seed) and be mindful of the conditions we are creating
(tend the soil).
_Meditation and centering prayer_ are keys to tending the soil. This is no
surprise. It's a glorious paradox to know that _desperation_ can be the
catalyst to change and a doorway to our divinity and mystical experiences. We
just must learn to tell the little egoic voice inside to take a "time out" in
order to grow something new.
"Eventually, the universe starts to look like a great thought rather than a
great machine." -- James Jean
"The mind which we discover within us is the Mind that governs everything." --

December 28, 2014 The Exchanging and Re-gifting of You
Our life experiences are a result of what we have practiced thinking about. So
let us ask ourselves, what can we exchange in our thinking to have a new
experience?
Align with truth. The expansion of our spiritual nature is the most precious
and powerful thing we can do. We don't need to give up life, we simply need to
bring more of truth to who we are.
Choose. The more exalted, the more heavenly, the more boundless, the more God-
like or Christ-like a thought is, the more power it will have.
Consistently align ourselves with unconditional love. Find anything that makes
us feel good and make it our core belief for the day. Let us start looking for
evidence of our well-being.
Be joyously selfish.

December 21, 2014 Letting Our Light Shine
This week, Dr. Patrick continues the Christmas theme of the Five Faces of
Christ: Prophesy, Person, Principle, Presence, and Power. The Christ as the
Universal Principle of Love has the power to change all things for good, for
better, and to change them forever.
For us on this planet, the combination of our physical form and our
consciousness is the leading edge of creation. This is the place where Source
energy is coming forward, no more exquisitely than in this dimension.
Each partakes of the Christ Nature to the degree that the Christ is revealed
through him, and to that degree, we become the Christ. Transformed people
transform people! If we want to save the world, we save ourselves. To give
birth to the Christ in this season of light, we have to invite It (the
Principle) for It to show up for us.

December 14, 2014 Awakening Joy
Joy is an inside job! It isn't just a collection of happy moments; joy can
even come through some of our saddest and most difficult times. Joy is our
inheritance, but to be "invited to the joy party," we have to live in the
present and be willing to leave behind our fears and insecurities. We need
only take a bold step towards joy, and to bring our whole selves "to the
party."
"Life is infinite energy coupled with limitless creative imagination. It is
the invisible essence and substance of every invisible form. Its nature is
goodness, truth, wisdom, and beauty, as well as energy and imagination. Our
highest satisfaction comes from a sense of conscious union with this invisible
life. All human endeavour is an attempt to get back the first principles, to
find such an inward wholeness that all sense of fear, doubt, and uncertainty
vanishes." -- Ernest Holmes

December 07, 2014 Welcoming the Spirit of Christmas
This week, Dr. Patrick introduces the Five Faces of Christ: Prophesy, Person,
Principle, Presence, and Power.
Delving deeper into intuition and prophesy, we learn that intuition is the
highest faculty in humanity: It comes to a point sometimes, where, with no
process of reasoning at all, we instantly know. Right here, through our own
nature, is the gateway and the path which leads to illumination, to
realization, to inspiration, to the intuitive perception of everything.
We have looked at poverty, degradation, and misery until they have assumed
gigantic proportions. Now we must look at harmony, happiness, plenty,
prosperity, peace, and right action until they appear.
