0:00 hi everybody it's time for a little video on for the Grace Network um I I really am so grateful to all of you for participating and I read all of your requests for prayers and I keep all of you in my prayers and I I hope we do the same for each other the if there was a way to measure the power of the influence of Grace in your life I mean I wish I I wish there was a way to just snap my fingers and you could see that extraordinary sparkling force that is Grace and how it comes into your life but but that's not the way it is in this
0:47 Dimension um not at all but you have to kind of trust that somehow other there's a force greater than yourself at work in your life because there is and it's hard to hold that it is so hard to hold that especially since I mean you know honestly sometimes when I watch the news or I read the newspaper and it is overwhelming how much suffering there is in this world I mean it and it's not just this world I mean I I read history all the time the The Human Experience is not a day at the beach it is a extraordinary challenge challenge of discovering what we can take what we
1:34 can't how much we need each other and how how things go better when we rely on each other when we help each other out um healing fascinates me for all kinds of reasons one not the least of which is that I you know I wrote a book called why people don't heal I was so fascinated with I was so naive when I started my work as a medical intuitive many years ago now many years ago I I believed that everybody wanted to be healthy fully healthy and that as soon as they found out what they needed to do to be healthy
2:22 they would jump right on that and it was a shock it was a shock to me to see how people continually sabotage their health and their well-being but as I as as the years of my life rolled around and my my world became increasingly I guess I guess I would say mystically focused on the deeper parts of ourself the the participation of the our soul in the rest of our our life which is a funny thing to say because you can't measure that you can't see it it's kind of an instinctive perceptual
3:09 study but there came a time for example when I recognized that all of the depression and anxiety this massive epidemic we have of depression anxiety suicide as I I looked into the the causes as I spent time seeking out the people in my workshop spending time with them who really have this crisis and as it impacted my own family members I realized you know what this is not a psychological therapeutic crisis these people are in a spiritual crisis a genuine spiritual
3:57 crisis the kind of Crisis that was recognized in monasteries centuries ago the recognition that the it's possible for us to become detached from our sense of uh who we are and our sense of power because we're terrified of that connection because we're terrified and it doesn't make any sense because if you look at like the focus of people these days everything is on empowerment and becoming empowered and and self-empowerment and all of this and yet it's the very thing people fear the
4:43 most is this journey of becoming a fully empowered person excuse me it goes in stages um because of the first level of empowerment that we go after is physical you know we want to have a have a home we want to have stability we want to have Financial Security we we we want our sense of empowerment to be something we can touch but after that the challenges the real challenges of our life the deeper ones about whether or not we like ourselves whether or not we're honest people whether or not we have integrity
5:31 the deeper more powerful whether or not we stop fearing others and we get to a place in oursel where we no longer require the approval of others to feel good about ourselves that's the that's when real empowerment starts it's not about what you acquire it's about what you become what you become and as I realized this more deeply I saw how often people sabotage this journey to becoming conscious of themselves their own actions their own attitudes the power of
6:17 their attitudes that there is a uh a leap in in one's inner growth where you go from seeing the outside world is responsible for why things aren't working out to recognizing your inside world has so much more is the real engine behind what what happens to you can't can't control everything I mean I can't control weather and I can't control storms and I can't control all of that but what I do have authority over is how I'll resp respond to that how I'll respond to that that's where
7:04 our res our power comes in is we choose our response and we choose our response even to how someone's what what someone says to us when they're speaking to us whether or not we think do I why do I want this person's approval what what what is that about I can't let the power of anyone else have that kind of influence on me when you you get to to this point of understanding yourself and from another perspective I realized how vital this part of our journey of self-esteem of self-empowerment was to becoming healthy and then even more deeply deeper
7:52 than that and this is where the spiritual crisis comes in even the develop of self-esteem it goes in in stages you know people it begins by with with people learning to draw their boundaries to claim their power to whatever that that stage is but eventually eventually that journey of self-esteem is going to take a person to a much deeper place of whether or not they can dialogue with truth not stuff not another person but truth but truth now I was with somebody
8:41 recently and this person complains constantly and you know I how you doing oh I'm all right and literally like that he he do he wasn't even aware that he was deliberately communicating this message so that someone else would feel very bad and then what can I do to repair this it was this incredibly manipulative experience and and and action on his part and I said to him I I'm gonna do this again I want to know why you are so filled with self-pity you have all this opportunity
9:28 coming toward you well I'm I'm just you know it's I I just don't know I'm just trying I'm trying I saidou not trying anything you're just you're out I said your agenda is to make your parents feel awful so that they'll step in and take charge of you again and somehow or other make your life magical and successful without you doing anything when I say dialogue with truth this is what I'm talking about the capacity to say wait a minute if it's not if I don't get to blame everybody else then I have to take a look at my participation in what's happening in my life and the consequences that that that
10:15 my attitudes are generating in my life when I say dialogue with truth it's between you and the and how you finally recognizing the extraordinary power power that you have the extraordinary power that you have and that it begins with saying wait a minute I I have to really assess the power of my attitudes the power of my intentions you know I um again I'm going to refer to near-death experiences because they're such a a resource um and how many people who've had near death experiences come back and
11:02 report that it's not their accomplishments that are reviewed in their life review it's the intention behind everything that matters is the power that we initiate to set something in motion the power of our attitude the power of our motivation what motivates us to to think the way we do to do what we do today if I did a book on healing and I'm writing I'm writing a book now on on everything I'm talking to you about actually and it's quite the challenge to articulate this it is an enormous challenge to find the words that relay
11:50 how powerful you are at the subtle level that in the early days of my work years ago decades ago I would have um said that the you know causes of illness are are big stress factors that are obvious but I don't believe that anymore I do not believe that we are so powerful at the quantum level it is our Quantum self our micro self the power of an attitude the power of our vocabulary how often you get up and you just start the day with negative thoughts in your head as I said to this kid yesterday what is the matter with you you are you you you're in charge of
12:37 your vocabulary and when someone says I just can't help it I want to put their head in the toilet for seven minutes well if you can't help it who can see this is and it was suggested to me that maybe he needs therapy and I thought he doesn't need therapy needs a spiritual director he has no capacity to have faith in himself or in anything else and I cannot emphasize to you what the power how powerful faith is and I'm not talking religion believe me I am not talking religion I'm talking about faith in the fact that this universe is governed by
13:22 sacred and holy forces that have your best interest at heart and your best interests are if you understand the laws of nature just start there and think how does the how do the laws work the laws of nature are like the law of balance everything is always working to keep you in balance and so your intuitive system your guidance system is also about not making sure you get the next job or car but holy guidance is about keeping you in balance and if you're in Balance you
14:07 will instinctively spiritually instinctively do the better thing for yourself it's the nature of God is love light and law these are the Three L's you got to got to remember and that the laws of nature are governing you and they govern every part of you from from your l blood pressure to the laws of creation that work within you all the time so that when you when you um have a decision to make you have to the question you should ask does this keep my life in balance or
14:53 will it throw me out of balance and if it's throwing me out of balance what what's the source of it when I say dialogue with truth no one else should ever be a player in how you answer deep questions let me repeat that no one else no one else's name should ever be mentioned on when you go deep in yourself to understand something I say well I did this because of that person no no no no no no as I said to to the kids and my family you go back and think this through you didn't do that because of that person you did that because you were powerless and you allowed another person to influence you it has nothing to do
15:40 with that person because if it wasn't that person it would be someone else this is what happens when you do not have enough self-esteem to make a decision based on closing your eyes and saying tell guide me what should I do in this moment there has nothing to do with anybody else's life so when it comes to Healing it's this level this micro level of our dialogue with our own Clarity our dialogue with truth that for me is the the core ingredient of whether of what makes a
16:28 person healthy what makes a person capable of of recovering from different things or of recognizing it may well be time to depart the Earth that too is healing but that we'll save that for another discussion but I also want to close this with um I've wandered of course for years and years and years about miracles I think Miracles are fascinating fasc one time I was flying home from Rome and I'm in the uh what do you call that waiting lounge right and I wanted to get a cappuccino and there's this guy behind me and he kind of cut in front of me and then he's speaking Italian and I thought
17:14 and so the the Barista goes to this guy first and I thought oh and then we're standing in line to get on the plane and now he's on the same plane as me and once again he's kind of Enchanted people around him and I'm thinking who's this guy and then I find out that he is a priest with the Vatican and he is one of the priests that are sent out to investigate whether or not a miracle happened and now did I change my tune now I thought oh God please sit me next to this guy please I got to be next to this priest I'll do anything anything really I I'll do a no anything just get me next to this priest I've got to pick his brain but but that didn't happen and
18:01 the whole time I thought so close and yet so far what I would have given to have a conversation with him so they send people out to investigate Miracles now in my own world I think Miracles are the most spiritually natural thing in the world I do and I think that if we could actually see the many times Heaven has intervened in our lives I'm I've told the story a thousand times I'm driving home from Mars candy company where I worked when I was in college it was after midnight I hear a voice my guide and said slow down a red truck is going to run the next stop sign and I at the time when that came I
18:46 didn't think I think I'm hearing a voice I didn't it was like being under command you don't think about it I just slowed down and it wasn't until the red truck ran that stop sign that I I realized oh my God I was told I was told I was told and I started I was laughing all the way home my entire response all the home was you are incredible you even care when I'm driving a car you know when I'm leaving the factory and it mattered to you it mattered to you to what what kind of radar system do you guys have that you are just like all over the place I I cannot tell you that imprinted my life so deeply so profoundly that guidance in that moment slow down
19:32 that said okay then my life must have purpose because you you don't want me to you don't want me to exit yet because that would have killed me and I I cannot tell you how that organized it wasn't that I didn't have faith prior to that but wow did that lock me in to realizing you even know when I'm driving home I mean wow I I I cannot tell you what that did for me it was so profound so I've always had this interest in Miracles and in what's possible and what's not and so to that what I will say is back to
20:18 self-esteem I think there's I I think I think so much I think this whole our whole entire relationship with the nature of God with understanding what God is with getting away from this anthropomorphic idea of an off-planet God that looks like us to finally accepting this [Music] Universal force that is everywhere and is all creation at all times we have to get out of this juvenile juvenile idea about you know I don't like religion shut up get get grow up and get a hold of how
21:04 incredibly gargantuan conscious this universe is and that we are living at the time when the idea of religion is getting dismantled and a a biospirit ecological theology based on cocreation is making its way in it's going to be quite some time before it takes hold but it's taking hold more and more and more and in the process we have to rise to a capacity to really recognize the power that we have within us the the need for
21:50 self-esteem is a part of that waking up it's a part of us becoming capable of the management of the force that is each of our individual lives back to Miracles what I realized is I think Miracles and divine intervention happens all the time and would happen even more directly especially in healing and in healing all the subtle Parts healing an attitude healing a fear pattern healing all of that I think what faith plays this role and that you
22:35 really have to believe that a power greater than yourself as they say in AA is capable of intervening in your life is capable of making its way into the structure of your life through people through events through it's capable but you're is that you have to become someone who's capable of believing something incredible I think one of the reasons M and maybe the biggest reason Miracles don't happen all the time in healing especially instantaneous healing is because a person doesn't have the self-esteem to actually have an experience given to
23:22 them like a sudden healing and accept that it did happen to them especially when such an event tends to become a magnet for the disbelief in other people who will come and say no that couldn't have happened that didn't happen why you if you don't have enough backbone spiritual backbone to be able to withstand that type of feedback from others it will turn you into someone angry someone who you don't believe me da it the miracle would be too much for you to manage in your life and so healing tends to maybe come slower in a
24:09 more organic way maybe over months instead of over an afternoon that's the power of faith faith has to do with the speed at which we allow things to happen in our life there's so much more that I can say on this obviously I'm doing a a workshop this coming next week on love light and law and on the power of your light and uh I love love teaching this I love it okay I want to end with this because what's the network of Grace without and remember read each everybody's prayers
24:58 keep you you don't have to remember everybody's name it's not possible anymore but what is true is that you can think I am sending Grace to everyone and I'm receiving the Grace from them and I am sending the grace of healing to everyone and and open yourself to sensing that connection with the Grace Network to actually sensing it that that I am really in an ATM atmosphere of Grace I'm don't see yourself as an ordinary person anymore just realize you've invited an atmosphere of Grace to take charge and even if you commit one minute a day that that is precious Goods
25:45 one minute of prayer is precious Goods I was wondering this morning Lord does heaven have a limit on the number of Miracles one person is allowed to experience in life I've witnessed a few miraculous healings and I'm well past doubting that you intervene in our lives and I've spent time with people who have experienced miraculous healings and I'll admit that I was curious why then how could I not be curious if I did come up with conclusions about the way of Heaven if such a thing were possible at all i' concluded that there is no pattern at all to the blessing of a miracle a miracle can happen any time any place to anyone Heaven does not play favorites I've gathered that much but in
26:32 my little quest to crack open this mystery I also concluded that healing is is but one of many ways The Messengers of Heaven are sent to intervene in our lives life is a theater set up for divine intervention to occur all the time the common thread I found in all the people who experienced healings is that they were respecting you at any moment it did not occur to them that you would not show up even though they were not necessarily anticipating that their illnesses would be completely healed but some form of assistance to them or their family would be given and they were open to whatever
27:18 Grace you poured into their lives one person told me I always expect God what a powerful prayer always expect God and so I will that is your prayer Lord I always expect you and you always show up okay everyone thank you
