Chapter 1 – The Basics

If you have given any sincere attention to a spiritual journey, you have probably recognized that true spirituality is about love. You may recognize that all the best things in life are about love. What you may not yet realize is that the whole structure and design of the universe in which we live is also about love, and it plays a far more essential role in our lives than we can currently imagine…

Loving the Soil – Part 2: Using Organic Matter Intelligently

[For the first half of this article and a video presentation on soil restoration by Michael Meléndrez, please see:  Loving the Soil – Part 1: The Importance of Humus (Carbon Matrix).]

It seems that there is a misconception even among the land-restoration enthusiasts that simply adding organic matter and water to the soil is going to provide what it needs for healing. I believed this too for the most part. Continue reading “Loving the Soil – Part 2: Using Organic Matter Intelligently”

Loving the Soil – Part 1: The Importance of Humus (Carbon Matrix)

As many of you probably know by now, I have a keen interest in land restoration. God has created an amazingly vital, diverse, beautiful and resilient natural world for us to enjoy and learn from, and I want to assist, even if in a small way, to support that natural world to heal and thrive. And there is much healing to do, especially on land like mine that has been severely overgrazed and is now highly eroded and barren. Continue reading “Loving the Soil – Part 1: The Importance of Humus (Carbon Matrix)”

False Belief Unveiled

I want to share an experience I just had with discovering a false belief. As some of you know false beliefs are those beliefs that are out of alignment with God’s Truth—the truth of the universe. These beliefs keep us stuck in wrong thinking, stuck in error, and prevent us from healing our emotional injuries or evolving towards love. Continue reading “False Belief Unveiled”

Issues of Power

I recently listened to a book by Gary Zukav called, Spiritual Partnership: The Journey to Authentic Power. It was published in 2010, but it hadn’t crossed my radar until now, probably because I rarely read “New Age” books anymore—they all seem pale in comparison to the completeness and level of love I find in Divine Truth. But this one was recommended by someone who seeks to know God in his heart and clearly gets the importance of owning one’s emotions and allowing them to be felt rather than avoided. So, I followed his suggestion and downloaded the book. Continue reading “Issues of Power”

Emotional Incest

In the autumn of 2013, Jesus and Mary came to Texas where they offered the first Assistance Group, which at the time was a new idea: an intensive experience (in this case a week) where they interact with participants on a much more personal level than during a lecture and generously offer personal feedback as well as information about Divine Truth. (See here for current Assistance Group opportunities). At this event, Jesus told me that I had emotions within me of what is called Emotional Incest. Continue reading “Emotional Incest”

Learning to Garden God’s Way—The Economy of Perennials

At the Understanding God’s Loving Laws Assistance Group, one of the principles we learned about was that of Economy. Apparently, God wants us to create economically (efficiently) with our time, energy and resources (and rewards us for doing so). Economy makes sense; to be economical is respectful to the Creator of all that is, and loving to ourselves as well as others and our environment. Continue reading “Learning to Garden God’s Way—The Economy of Perennials”

Weaving Desires, Creativity and Self-Expression

Winter is definitely over now, with warm spring winds and longer days drying things out even more on this already parched land. We are in extreme drought; I had only about an inch of rain this winter—no native spring-rain flowers, herbs or grasses even came up, and the only cliff roses that bloomed were the ones in my garden and swale areas, where more moisture was available—a good testament to creating swales! I imagine the bees were grateful for those. I intend to plant more of these hardy flowering perennials to provide early-spring food for the hungry pollinators–especially since rains are becoming more unpredictable and scarce.
