I’d longed to find the historic Mystic Jesus: the one who speaks to my heart. I finally found evidence of Him through “Revelations of the Aramaic Jesus,” a live online class and book by Dr. Neil Douglas-Klotz. Douglas-Klotz earned a Ph.D. in translating ancient Aramaic, Hebrew and Arabic—the Semitic languages. Starting with the Aramaic [...]
We expand our spirituality when we actively seek to rediscover our soul’s wisdom. By integrating that sacred knowledge as we find it, we foster serenity, wonder and a deep connection to all living beings. There are three phases we experience in our quest to commune with the divine and transcend our physical existence: awareness, awakening [...]
You’ve probably seen social media posts that state if you choose to be happy, you will be. While this may work in some circumstances, it can make someone who’s struggling feel worse.

Through increasing our awareness and learning how to listen, all of us can regularly receive divine guidance. Practice thankful prayer and meditation For [...]
Many of us struggle to love ourselves. We may feel we’re falling short of where we thought we’d be at this point in our lives; we may have different dreams than society wants us to focus on; or we’re so busy trying to make ourselves into what others want, it empties us inside. It’s easy [...]
