7 Spiritual Necessities for Changing Times
July 5, 2007
It’s no secret that we are in the midst of changing times. The climate is changing. Politics are changing. Standards are changing. Change is constant and change is cyclical. But we have reached a point in our cycle where change has started to accelerate. Things are starting to heat up on planet Earth in more ways than one. But change and acceleration happen according to the nature of the energy behind them. And the nature of that energy is determined by the collective consciousness that put the energy out there in the first place. So if there’s anything that needs to change in changing times, it’s collective consciousness. Host, Rev. Dr. Antonia Martinez discusses 7 spiritual necessities that need to be addressed in collective consciousness, and explores the role of metaphysicians, energy workers, spiritual futurists, and others in creating a new beginning for changing times.

Simplify Your Life Around Your Great Work
February 21, 2006
Whatever you desire to do in life, whatever creation you wish to bring to life, whatever dream you desire to make real–that is your Great Work. And the great secret about performing this Great Work is to simplify your life around it. We have, I think, grown so accustomed to self-distraction and multitasking that a lack of focus and absence of meaningful self-discipline have become a way of life for many. We often worship productivity to the point of pointlessness, having only an afterthought (if any thought at all) about the effectiveness of our efforts or the efficacy with which those efforts fulfill their purpose. So, today, right now, this second, I pose to you a question: What would your life be like if you simplified it around your Great Work?
Imagine stripping away your unnecessary and fruitless routines, attachments and involvements to make your Great Work the center of attention and the love of your life. How many hours in a day, how many miles on your Path would you gain to advance your Work? How different would your life be if your Great Work came first and foremost? How fulfilling would it be? There’s really only one way to find out.
Think of one thing–anything–in your life that you could do without, and fill that space instead with steady attention on your Great Work.
Disorders, Diseases and Syndromes, Oh My!
February 4, 2006
In the past five or ten years, it seems like a hundred new so-called disorders, diseases and syndromes have been discovered. Restless Leg Syndrome is the most recent I’ve seen advertised on TV (well, it was the medication they were advertising, not the syndrome). What I find amazing is that there is no widespread concern about the fact that everybody seems to have the “Disorder Disorder”–which is the disorder of having many disorders. Surely, someone besides myself thinks this plethora of newly discovered disorders is odd and indicative of a much larger health issue that needs to be addressed. [Read more]
