SERVICE

Welcome to the Service Portal ~
a curated selection of our teachings, practices, and courses
related to the subject of service.

TEACHINGS

• Michelangelo: Service as the Masterpiece of the Soul
  We are sculptors of our lives and can use each life experience to remove the superfluous in our inner and outer lives and thereby free the soul’s knowledge. The emergence of spiritual knowledge is the destiny of the soul.

The relationship between personal growth, service, and the soul's evolution is dynamic and systemic and necessitates a shift in our awareness of service.

• Stage Four: The Wounded Healer
  The Wounded Healer looks outside the self for validation, leading to resentment and burnout. However, it is in this stage of service that the soul begins to find its way toward healing through a recognition the time has come to make a deep commitment to their inner work.

• Three Intentions for Soul-Inspired Living 
  Three intentions can show us another way to view the world at this time of planetary crisis and invite us to affect change with heart-centered commitment and in alignment with our Soul.
• Lincoln Answers Our Nation's Call for Help ~ Choosing America's Destiny
  In this teaching, the third in a three-part series on "Living Our Destiny," the spirit of Abraham Lincoln, the great wayshower, responds to our collective pain.

• Born to Serve (Course)

being service.

MORE Courses Related to Service

Many know their unique assignment during the early years
of the Aquarian Era and have already positioned themselves
to play critical roles. I refer to these people and groups as 
brilliants. The world, which is also a brilliant, maximizes
the emanation and returns the Light. 

The term "brilliant" refers both to a gem and to a specific cut shape for gems – the preferred one for diamonds. 
The brilliant can serve as an Aquarian metaphor, representing
the Soul through which Light pours from Divine Source,
maximizing the emanation and returning the Light.
