Jesus says, “The man who walks in the dark does not know where he is going.” (John 12:35)For weeks now I have been wondering what to do with this blog. Is it really serving you? Is it helping you to see the deepest Truth that Jesus is eternally pointing you toward? Certainly, there is a prevalent... Read More

Jesus says, “Abide in My Love.” (John 15:9) Almost four weeks ago my life changed forever. On March 31, 2010 I had major surgery at Providence Hospital in Medford Oregon to remove cysts that were causing debilitating pain. Providence is the divine guidance of God and this guidance is the infinite L... Read More
Jesus says, “I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I in you.” (John 14:20) Since this blogs inception there have been many verbal stones cast. I have been called an abomination, a false prophet, a false teacher, a heretic and the book of Timothy has been thrown in my face—After all according to ... Read More
A disciple asks, “This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?” (John 6:60) In the Sacred Awakening conference call with Gangaji, she described her profoundly deep prayer for a teacher. A few years later she received a miraculous answer to her prayer when she met her teacher, Papaji, on the banks of ... Read More

Jesus says, “For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.” (Luke 12:23) By now most of you know that this is not a typical Jesus blog. The perspective presented here is one of awakening better known as enlightenment or freedom from suffering—awakening to the truth of yourself in the Heart of Christ. It is not a Christian blog in that it does not adhere to any kind of dogma, catechism or Christian denomination. On the simplest level this blog is simply an invitation turn your attention where Jesus is pointing. What does he want you to see, to hear, to understand? If you think you know, stop for a moment and not know. Not knowing offers you the simple opportunity to discover for yourself without any idea or concept. Inquiring is self-discovery and it is through your own discovery that the profound depth of his message can be recognized, not understood, but recognized. It is a discovery so sacred so pristine it contains the power to change your life forever. Truly, it is a sacred awakening.
Jesus says, “For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.” (Luke 12:23) Jesus offers you many clues that lead to self-discovery. If you look at his words as a question, rather than a statement, you have an opportunity to look into eternity. What is life? How is you body more than clothing? For years I was mystified by the Bible, it seemed that there was some hidden message that was not easily perceived, the language was strange, and incomprehensible—it left me feeling unfulfilled and disillusioned. In 1997 I had a profound mystical experience of Jesus that was the catalyst for a search for Truth. This search ended in July of 2001 when a profoundly deep prayer led me to one of the most profound teachers of our time—Gangaji. Her simple invitation, ‘To stop, be still, be quiet and discover who you are at the core,’ opened the flood gates of true wisdom. Suddenly all scripture became crystal clear. It didn’t matter if it was the sutras of Buddha, the words of Christ, the Quran, or the Upanishads—suddenly, infallibly I heard with out hearing the deepest message of Truth—the deepest message of Jesus—it was and continues to be a Sacred Awakening. Gangaji has been invited to participate in a global conversation that includes many of the world’s leading spiritual teachers in The Shift Network’s Sacred Awakening conference series—a deep conversation that contemplates the question: What does it mean to live a sacred life? Later this month you can participate in this conversation with Gangaji by phone. How can this global meeting help you to understand the teaching of Jesus on an even deeper level?
It has become increasingly clear to me that this blog, although powerful, is limited in its ability to connect with you on a deeper level. This realization is the catalyst for a big shift for me as a teacher. Very soon I will be offering you an opportunity to participate in an ongoing global phone conference. Also, I am willing to travel to speak in person in your local area. If you are interested in the global conference call, or you would like me to travel to your local area, please let me know by emailing

In preparation for this global conversation with Gangaji I invite you to deeply contemplate: What does it mean to live a sacred life? Is a sacred life limited to some ideal of hardship and sacrifice that most saints offer as example or is it something deeper? What does it really mean to live a sacred life? What does Jesus mean when he says, “The eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light.” (Matthew 6:22)
The next article will focus on was uncovered what I am confident will prove to be a profoundly deep conversation. If you are interested in an ongoing global conference call with me or if you are interested in me traveling to your local area, please do not forget to email me at
