Sacred Light

As we get ready to celebrate Christmas in my home, my thoughts have been centered around how much my beliefs have changed since leaving Mormonism. I am no longer a Christian, but I am devoted to the teachings of Jesus; not just his words in the bible, but also from the Gnostic Gospels as well. I believe great truths are hidden from the masses who are following the common Christian religion. Especially, the teaching of the Christ, or Chrism, within each of us. Many of us celebrated the Winter Solstice yesterday. Right now, the sun is resting for three days, rising on the same latitudinal degree until December 25th when it will move one degree northward signalling its beginning journey around the wheel of the year once again. Light will be returning, taking precious time back from the darkness of night in the Northern Hemisphere. In the ancient times, anything that stopped moving for three days was considered dead. The Sun God stopped in the sky, was dead for three days, and then

Our ancestors worshiped the Sun, and they were not that foolish. It makes sense to revere the Sun and the stars, for we are their children.   ~ Carl Sagan    In January 2015 while attending a study group for A Course in Miracles,  which was channeled by Helen Schucman, the teacher told me about another book channeled by the energy of Jesus called The Way of Mastery published by the Shanti Christo Foundation. I had never heard of this book, but I immediately felt it call to my heart. I ordered it the next day. Once I started reading it, it was clear my life was about to change again in a wonderful way. It affirmed what I had already come to believe, that God is only Divine Love and Sacred Light. As we celebrate the Winter Solstice this week and honor the return of the Sun in its journey around the Zodiac, I find my self reminiscing of the time I was illuminated by Sunlight during a sacred meditation from  The Way of Mastery. Even though my experience happened at Easter, anytime

Disobedience and rebellion is not our problem, OBEDIENCE is our problem!         ~ Howard Zinn (I look at this lovely picture of me and my two amazing, beautiful daughters taken right before the oldest one's baptism in Aug of 2009, and my heart hurts for all three of us. I was doing my best at that time trying to be the perfect Mormon mother, I recognize that; but, I was also ensnared in a cult. Yes, that's right I said it, the forbidden C-word. I was bamboozled by a CULT for 42 years! I had no idea at that moment in time how deep the deception ran. I was just 1.5 years away from falling down the infamous rabbit hole of Reality. But right then, I had no idea that I was about to plunge head first into the unknown, or how much my life was going to drastically, magically, and beautifully change because of that leap of faith into the dark abyss of doubts and discovery's. In this picture, I am blissfully unaware of any problems within the Mormon Church. But, thank God
