Slavery

2010-10-01T11:57:00.000-07:00

Slavery comes in many different forms. Possessions, status, judgment, lust, and power to name a few. Generally you are a slave to your own desires. The desires of this plain. If you look through history, it is plain to see the desires of this realm are never, nor can they ever be, fulfilled.
In our body/temple where our spirit is suppose to reside is constantly pushed out(in the old testament this is called forsaking)to fulfill our human desires. Each time you obtain what you desire another desire kicks in. Most likely you found, as I have, no true fulfillment with what you obtained. What would you call this? I call it slavery! Through our teachings at home and in school, on TV, and with the community, you find that you are constantly being to find fulfillment on this plain but nothing does it. There is never enough.
Here in the US, our children become wards of the state. Why? Because there is not enough or I have to prove myself and the parents leave the home and community to find more. How else can you make the standard of living? Unfortunately, this consciousness negates our creator/God.
Historically man has continually moved away from our Father the creator. Turned our backs on him. Why not? Weren't we made in the likeness. Even though there are thousands of paths to return to the creator, there are millions to turn away. Distractions some call them but I call them desires. Desire of this plain becomes the task master to keep you here and disconnected. The Spirit of God is overshadowed by desires and inevitably keeps you from the land of milk& honey so to speak.
Across our lands there is famine, pestilence, sickness, plague, lack, and no community. You may take an hour or two a week to remember your creator but you forget right after because you believe you are the master. Your not. You say you have free will but you don't. You sold it. The task master of desire uses a more deadly weapon. Your mind.
Now not only are you enslaved but so are your children. Your children are following your paths of desire. It's not like this at the moment a child is born because the first breath taken in is the breath that God blows the spirit into the child. The child is pure. After that it becomes the parents responsibility to guide the child. If you are in slavery, conscious or unconscious, nine times out of ten that is what will be taught. I know I was there.
So after all that how do you escape the world of slavery? It starts with surrendering. Start of slowly. When you wake up in the morning, give thanks for another day full of opportunity to surrender your will to the will of the Creator. Before go to sleep at night give thanks for all that has happened no matter how you view it. Talk to the Creator. The Creator does listen and responds. If you don't like the response, surrender your will and ask how this will help. Know everything that comes before you has a reason. This may take take sometime and a part of you will constantly challenge God but this is something you need to overcome.
Becoming enslaved doesn't happen overnight it happens over time. It takes you to step up, bow down, and surrender to the one and only will that matters. The will of the Creator/God.
The Creator's Love, Peace, and Blessings

A Cry In The Wilderness

2010-05-17T08:52:00.001-07:00

My brothers and sisters, I have awoken and am lost in this wilderness. What happened to the Eagle, Mountain Lion, Wolf, and the Mother. Please hear me! Grandfather, where did my Nation go? I do not understand why I can not drink out of the streams anymore. Water is life.
I have followed many paths and still I feel lost. Please my brothers hear me. I must return home to be with my family again. It has been a long time, like a dream I could not wake up out of. Now the awakening is upon me and I reach for my brothers. My name is Many Rivers Running. There is a time upon us where we need to be together again. I was sent away a long time ago to learn the way of the fire.
The fire lives in us and everything here. Please my brothers hear me! Grandfather, hear me!
It is time for me to return home but I am lost! If you can hear me, please answer me!

I write this on behalf of Many Rivers Running

Cleansing Prayer

2010-03-27T16:17:00.000-07:00

In the name of my Heavenly Mother and Father, I rebuke all darkness from my life. I clear my vessel of all darkness and allow only the light.

Thoughts, memories, and past actions that are not of the light, are purged and purified. From this point forward I am an instrument for my Heavenly Parents delight.

Each step that is taken from this point on are in the light of my Heavenly Mother and Father.

My thoughts, words, and actions are of love and light. I do this today and everyday of my own free will.

Thank you for hearing me as you always do.

Amen

Honoring Thy Heavenly Parents

2010-03-27T09:53:00.000-07:00

Today is the day I honor my Heavenly Mother and Father.

I surrender myself to my Holy Parents which have born me into this life to serve in the light.

I honor and accept their unconditional love in myself, so I may share it with all.

I shall strive to be just like my parents, working through love and light, honoring all in great delight.

In the darkness, my parents have provided the light to explore the caverns everyday and night.

Through my surrender the darkness can only turn to light.

Amen

Prayers of Healing to the Heavenly Mother & Father

2010-03-26T17:23:00.000-07:00

I humbly kneel down before my Heavenly Parents to release all the pain held in my body.

From your mercy and compassion I accept your guidance and forgiveness in this matter.

I Am Found

2010-01-05T09:01:00.000-08:00

Once I found myself lost in the mix of life, never knowing what was right. Till oneday I discovered the true meaning of life.
Jesus told me don't you see, to love my brehteren just like me.
This seemed to be odd to me because I didn't even know me.
Made of many people I am, across the sea to this very land.
He found me in the valley of dispare, crying profusely as if no one cared.
His hand extended to me, to help me up so I can see.

When I gazed upon him I could see, the dominion of love and sanctity.
From his heart a tremendous spark ignited me so I can see the love for all eternally.
I ask him how this could be and he told me.
He said, I am in the Father as the Father is in me, as I am in you and you are in me.
Astonished I was to see, the Father in me so hopefully.

Today I stand, not alone but with all our familly and our home.
My brother Jesus at my side to share the love and never hide.
The mountain is moved and I parted the sea, to save my bretheren from the burning sea.
Today I call you one and all, to let the light shine all and all.
We are the ones not of this world.
To reach beyond the illusions of this life and hold the one that holds us tight.

Take the flight and you will see
The God within you and the God within me!!!!
Ron McKee

What Do You Fear and When

2009-09-29T08:39:00.000-07:00

Today I had an awakening about why our lives change. When we talk, a lot of people say "well I can do it for others but not myself." Interesting thought pattern isn't it. How can we be in a position to help others and feel powerless to help ourselves?
One of the first things that comes to mind is, there is no fear incorporated. You see when we look to our inner world we have all kinds of experiences we can draw on. Some of those there are build ups and others there are let downs. So when you look to help yourself, what experiences do you build upon? Remember the statement above. If you don't believe you can help yourself, your mind is utilizing all those thoughts and experiences of let downs. The end result then is the self-fulfilling prophecy.
Now, what if you were to take your thoughts out of the fear based thoughts and move to all the positive ones in your beautiful memory banks? Simple. You would take yourself out of the fear based thinking and move into a positive I can do it based thinking. It's all up to you!!!! Our own fears create our own obstacles. Lets do an exercise just for a minute. Search your memories for all those beautiful positive memories. Now pick one that fills your heart, mind, and body with pure delight. Anchor it!!!!!! You see, there are no obstacles here and you can do anything with all that wonderful energy. It's yours.
So anytime you are in a space of fear or doubt about helping yourself, I want you to grab onto that feeling you had with your above memory and swim in it. The fear you hold can only dissipate now. You are invincible. It is important to do these things until you breakdown all the fear based obstacles and create opportunities with everything in your life.
You see, we are not supposed to be afraid but inquisitive to create a harmonious world within and without. By your practicing this, you then not only help yourself but also everyone that comes int contact with you.
This is the way Spirit has set the universe in motion and you are part of it and Spirit. May you see The Light Within and shine it out.
Peace and Love-Ron McKee

Personal Use of Power

2009-07-10T07:07:00.000-07:00

The use of personal energy, personal power is very important. Most people don't think about this subject but hopefully with this article one would come to be reminded.
Each and every one of us has our own personal "integrity",.. our own truth ...and that truth, our own truth can only be discovered within our dedicated efforts to be deeply connected with our Source. The Source of all things, God, Jesus, Buddha, Allah, Krishna, Jeshua.. whatever you believe in, the label is not as important as cultivating the connection.
I teach Psychic Development Classes. At the very foundation of the class for anyone to be more self aware you must cultivate a strong connection with the Source of all things. Within your personal connection lies your own individual truth, within your own truth is your personal integrity and your divine will. You are always leading your life aligned to your inner truth and so it benefits you to become more aware of what it is you truly believe and know to be true "for you" as guided by your Source. Once you become more aware of your own personal integrity/truth you can begin to discern what truths do not belong to you, and release/relieve yourself of that energy consciousness.
When we are in alignment with our own personal integrity.. we are projecting our God consciousness with every word, thought, and deed. Projecting from this consciousness enables our will...which is the will of God.. to be the prevailing force behind all action. All action, word, speech, living, observing, etc. becomes and starts to feel like a conscious projection of God's will. You don't have to be extremely spiritual or religious to express this, it will just happen and for many who live this way already, know what it's like. These people carry a "presence", it is the signature of someone in touch with their deepest integrity, God's will and truth running through them more than "mans" will and truth. When you come from the root place of "thy will be done" through my deepest integrity, you are carrying the mustard seed to success in all endeavors.
When you are in alignment with the Source, mountains move. And, you can't help but to have respect for the energies that you utilize and feed into in this life, on the Earth plane. For example I know people who use the legal system to outright harm others. Shamelessley, they have no respect for the Law.. and I am not just talking about man's law. There is an energy dynamic behind all things. If you utilize an energy consciousness (the legal system) for the right reason(s).. you and "ALL" will benefit from it. But if you use an energy, in this case the law, to harm another for selfish reasons, it will surely come back to bite you in the @ss. Perhaps this won't happen right away, but surely it will happen. It WILL happen because we are all guided by Natural Laws. These Laws do not waver from one person to the next, they remain the same for all. Evenutally, those who misuse energy consciousness will learn to respect the energies they work with.
For instance, one of the laws is the Natural Law of Progression. The Natural Law of Progression assists in the in personal enhancement and forward evolving of mankind on a whole. Everyone will progress, learn, change (even if slightly) as nothing stays the same. There is the Law of Change, which assists with this law. Hear me when I say... If you don't respect an energy consciousness you are working with, you will eventually learn to. For example, if you are using the legal system (an energy consciousness) to harm someone for your own benefit, you are not respecting that system, or consciousness, and that will come home to you. All systems, energy consciousness' are meant to help everyone on a whole, once again falling in-line with the Natural Laws that are in play, so it is beneficial to use your personal power well. It is beneficial to know what your personal integrity is. It is beneficial to connect every day with your source. Every thought IS a prayer. You can begin your journey to deeper connection by watching your thoughts and listening to the Source for guidance when observing your thoughts.
I hope this article has served you to think about cultivating a deeper connection with your source, and that you feel inspired to have a different perspective on the personal use of power.

Our Dreams

2009-07-08T04:04:00.000-07:00

Are they ours? Interesting. Now the question is, are we sheep? Do our dreams reflect who we are or who we want to be? Our dreams then reflect what w don't have or a space that needs to be filled. So, then dreams can be longings, desires, envy, or just illusion.
It has been written by many that we have everything we need. There are ones who utilize the lack concept of our dreams. They do this to sway the sheep into a lack consciousness or who I am is not good enough. The world is full of these illusions. We are all worthy and Spirit/God provides us with everything we need. You to can overcome this world!

Ron McKee

Our Purpose

2009-07-07T04:14:00.000-07:00

Often times we wonder, what is my purpose in this life? We look to others to find the answer. There are many writings old and new to help us along this path to finding the truth in our purpose. Yesterday, after reading the Gospel of John, Jesus pointed a way for me. To serve all out of love, compassion, empathy, joy, understanding and forgiveness. And to overcome this world.
These are two prime purposes for me. If you don't remeber or have never read the Gospel of John, at the passover super Jesus toook off all his clothes and wrap a towel around him. He filled a basin with water and washed the feet of his disciples. Drying them with the towel he had wrapped around him. Totally exposing himself. He told his disciples that the Master is not above the servant and the servant is not above the master.
Serve each other as I have served you. Love each other as I have loved you. Love thy neighbor as thyself. Pretty simple. Maybe not in a world consciousness that we have created. Jesus was very conscious and loved all, as he still does today. His service in this act was to show his disciples another act of service. As we are all children of Spirit/God, as we do unto others, we do unto Spirit/God.
To overcome this world is to overcome the illusions of this world. You see we are all great creators of our own illusions. Our spirit is our guiding force to overcome anything that comes before us. It is through our faith and belief that we are able to come into a reality that is not of this world. As Jesus said " Even the least among you shall do as I have done and greater." He is telling us we decide what it is we can do. The power of Spirit is in each and everyone of us to see beyond the illusions before us. When we are able to do this, then we have overcome this world.

Consciousness & Projection

2009-07-03T06:55:00.001-07:00

Recently I posted an article on Consciousness and I would like to expand on that subject today. As people we are subject to many "living" consciousness' in the world. Consciousness can be accepted and taken in on many different levels of expression...one mentally, two emotionally, three physically, or four.. spiritually or not at all, by each individual. We have our personal free will to accept or not to accept any consciousness. The mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual make up of our be-ing are the levels, or shall I say "openings" for receiving any consciousness... this is why it is very important to be self aware.
People can and do walk around unconscious of what they are buying into and participating in when it comes to the many consciousness' in the world. Although some may say "ignorance is bliss" this free will choice to remain in ignorance would render one not operating at a conscious level of self responsibility and acknowledging their great inheritance to co-create a heavenly life for themselves. With self-awareness, you honor your birthright to co-create the dreams you have of living at your highest potential and drawing on all the consciousness' that bring reverence for one's own life. You conscious participation brings the reward of self-satisfaction of who you are and what you create for yourself in your life. This is good use of energy and personal power. This is the true meaning of success. There aren't any "chance" happenings... they are all co-created with your thought... your emotion, your physicality and spirituality long before the opportunities present themselves.

Being informed about the many consciousness' you buy into, about the awareness' you have the free will to saturate yourself with, or not... you can at any time begin to make different choices. You can drop any awareness like a hot tomally, today! That's not to say that it's easy to do, because you already have people in place, environments you revisit everyday (like your home) to remind you of the reality you created, and its past truth... all are a reflection of your past reality and your past creating. It's unfortunate for some who keep the past completely alive in their present day. Today is a new day. YOU can use this information to co-create your tomorrow today. You can live in the present... as if it was your tomorrow's heaven, today! You can live today as you would like to live your tomorrow. You CAN do it.. nothing and no-one has the true power to stop you.

How can one co-create changes for the better today? Well, think about what you have created thus far. Come to terms with and resolve peacefully within yourself that yesterday is done. do not punish yourself for what you have co-created from the past... as this does you no good, and even God cannot change the past; the self-punishment is a futile battle where you don't get any constructive satisfaction out of it and you end up re-creating the past over and over like a vicious cycle. You can make the free will choice to break the cycle...this part is easy!
Each moment today is the only moment that counts. Make a commitment to yourself to "be in the moment" as much as you can.. within each moment. With time, each moment of being fully present will lend to your becoming a stronger in accessing that natural instinct to be more and more present within each singular day that passes.

Today You Have the Opportunity to Create Your Life!

As you shift your perspective to the cosciousness' and awareness that "today is another day I create within my life anew, my day is a blank page where I get to write my story the way I want it to be...I am consciously accepting all the joyful exciting consciousness', and the inspirational people who live that consciousness ... for my guiding example". This is an example of the attitude and the free will-ingness.. and openness that one should, and quite easily Project.

Projection is how you co-created your life thus far. You imagined a reality.. bought the consciousness of the past (with what was afforded you at the time).. and created what you have today from that consciousness'. You CAN project with your mind, your emotion, physicality, and your spirituality,.. right now! You can begin to question and learn about the consciousness' that would bring you what you truly desire. You can access consciousness' from all over the world through the Internet, travel, and simply just talking to new and different people in your neighborhood or surrounding city.

You can write your story today .. in the present.. anew.
Pick a consciousness... project/imagine living your best life, that is all there is to it!

What's exciting about the process of taking responsibility for what you create in the world, with your life, is that you meet others who do the same. When that happens, everything in your life changes for the better.

I would like to leave you with this in mind, Jesus spoke, "love thy neighbor as thyself"
but how could you love your neighbor if you don't love yourself? How can you offer your neighbor your best, if you never exercise your potential to be your best?
What goodness you place within yourself.. becomes the light you carry and share with others in good. Use your life purposefully, create from your heart .. your whole being. Your life is an instrument to be shared in good for the sake of all. Channel your best at all times and only the best will return to you. Remember, YOU are always an inspiration to someone.. even if you don't know it,.. or them, at the time!

Serving Two Masters

2009-06-29T03:53:00.000-07:00

It is written "One cannot serve two masters." Who are the masters then? Your Spirit and Ego. The difference between the two are your spirit is your connection to God and the ego is your connection to the earth plain. So, every moment we get to make a choice on who we serve. Because we are animals, we are driven to all the earth plain consciousness. It's natural and what keeps you imprisoned here on this plain.
Don't get me wrong, things of the earth are needed to sustain our bodies. What we don't see however, are these things are provided to us by Spirit. The ego is made a part of us in the physical for basic survival but it has moved beyond this mode. The ego wishes to show you are better than anyone else or superior to anyone. The ego lacks the basic spiritual aspects of love, caring, and compassion. Driven by physical desires that can never be quench. To make and have more. Unfortunately, the ego will keep you running in circles as it can never be satisfied. Therefore, keeping us in the dark.
At some point there is an awakening. This is where your spirit becomes more vocal. To follow or search out a way to the truth of our existence. Our spirit holds a higher elevation of love, caring, compassion just to name a few. This is the realm of God. So, a battle occurs inside of us to find out more and more of who we are and where we come from. Our spirit is the guide for our discoveries or more plainly, our remembering. To live in love and peace is where we are guided. You see our needs are always met. Anything that we need is brought to us by spirit. Yet it can be hard for us to see this. The ego wishes to take full credit.
Which master do you choose to follow? The decision is yours.

Beyond the Outer Limits #3

2009-06-27T06:51:00.000-07:00

Now during your walk through the reality you live in, you have the power to make changes. The opening comes through the conscious choices as you live in the now. Sometimes we are given the view of how things will be as we make more and more conscious choices. This is where the power lies for us. The Power of Choice.
With the power of choice comes great responsibility. You are already learning this as you take responsibility for where you are today. Consciousness brings to us the unlimited opportunities to love, grow, and create right from where it all starts. Inside of each of us. How do you know if your choices are for your better and the better of others? Simple. How you feel after the decision is made. A word of caution needs to made here. Your feelings before a decision is made will dictate the outcome. If you are feeling love, compassion, empathy, peace, joy, or happiness the outcome will be at a higher caring level and bring more of those opportunities into your life. If, however, the decision is being made from a point of anger, sadness, jealousy, or vengeance the outcome will be of a lower nature and outcome.
It is important to be conscious of who you are, how you feel, and what you believe. This has always been the starting point to eliminate any limitations. You see we all are so gifted with this great power of being conscious and making decisions/free will. Think about it! You are the creator of your own reality and the conscious or unconscious choices made create who and where you are.
I challenge you to see the potential of who you are and what can be done in the light. Spirit has given us all we need to live, love , be healthy and happy! We have just forgotten. No one is excluded. Use the key and unlock all the potential you have.

Pick a Consciousness.. Any Consciousness!

2009-06-26T07:21:00.000-07:00

Do you know that you have a choice to pick a consciousness at all? If so, how often do you think about it. We live in a world full of consciousness' always present around us, and is just a thought away! To prove this.... just think of something, some event or some person that makes you angry for a moment..........................
After doing that I'm sure you felt the consciousness of anger within you and possibly around you. Now.. think of something, an event, or someone loving,..................
can you feel that consciousness?

Each and every consciousness has its own energy and is an "entity" in itself... that we have the choice to feed into with our own emotional, thought, physicl and spiritual energies. I personally veiw these awareness' or consciousness to be of cloudlike substance, hovering around and above us at all times. Love would be pink and light and fuzzy, hate/anger would be heavy and dark and sludgy. Perhaps you can imagine your own consciousness in it's shape, form and consistancy. It can be fun to discover how you see/experience them yourself.

Consciousness has been growing and evolving since the dawn of life itself.. We have been created from and through consciousness. The Earth has a consciousness, trees have a consciousness, stones, animals.. all living beings have a consciousness that they share within the whole ultimately participating in the purose of our evolution. Each and every living being is a universe unto itself. Each sentient life has the power to interact and project various consciousness that communicates the current reality of the being. In short... what you believe to be true about you and the world.. about anything..is the consciousness that you not only "buy" into with your emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical energies... but also feed into as well. As you own more and more of any given consciousness, you attract others in like! You will draw poeple into your life that share a similar consciousness, and most times their presence helps you to get stuck in an old consciousness as those very people keep reconfirming the belief in it, YOUR belief in it. Birds of a feather and all that. Long term this could be a good thing or but also a bad thing depending on the consciousness.

If you believe that Love is the higher Law, and it is your strongest belief... you are most likely involved in a lot of loving interactions... you unconsciously as well as consciously seek them out and also project this from you.. and at the same time you are feeding/supporting that consciousness of love that is in the world. The consciousness of love gets bigger and bigger as time goes by and IS available to all that buy into it, whenever they choose to, consciously or unconsciously. Prayer is a powerful example of feeding into a consciousness, and what you feed into you also recieve from. The more you feed into a specific consciousness the more you carry that consciousness and its energy.

Even though you buy and support the love consciousness most of the time, this doesn't protect you fully from other consciousness' like its polar opposite hate/anger. This is where you get to exercise free will "choice" to buy into any consciousness. Think about it, if you are experiencing a bad day (participating in the consciousness of anger) and someone crosses your path presenting you with the opportunity to focus on "love consciousness", you have a choice at that moment to switch into that consciousness or not, It is your choice! There are no scapegoats here to make you do or not do anything, it all comes down to your right to free will choice. You choose to or not to participate your energy in whichever consciousness at every moment of your life.

Today you have been given the opportunity to be more aware of consciousness. Today you co-create your future days. Today you may be holding onto some old consciousness' that don't serve your needs of today. The beauty of conscious buying of new consciousness... is that it's just a thought away.

Think about something you wish to create in your life, and then think of the consciousness that would support that creation. Test the consciousness out by imagining what it would look like, feel like. Think of the people who already carry that consciousness and surround yourself with those people, new people. This may feel uncomfortable at first because it will be something new to your "old way consciousness" but it's worth exploring if not only for the sake of seeking out your potential to "be".

You will be surprised at how quickly you begin to assimilate to that consciousness and own it in a comfortable way within your own daily stride. If you linger too long in the consciousness of your past, you create more of the same. You already know how it works, and unfortunately people tend to stick to what works.. even if it's painful, they know the route well and what to expect on that path. But I challenge you today... to open up your mind and experiment with at least one new consciousness. It won't be long before you see the proof of that consciousness, the evidence of its existence in the world... and how it feels to try on and carry the goodness of it!

Beyond the Outer Limits #2

2009-06-25T04:21:00.000-07:00

As you move through the events of where you are today, take the time to be conscious of what occurred, your beliefs, and how they effected the outcome, and take responsibility for it. You see, whether you are conscious or not, you still participated in all the events of your life to date.
Now is the time to be present and conscious of what you do, what you believe, and how you feel. It is your belief structure that has brought you to this place of being. This structure can be changed and you are the only one who can do it. Spirit, God, Jesus, Buddha, or whomever you believe to be your guiding light, is here to guide and assist you. Because you have the will to choose, it is up to you to make the decision.
As I was told by a friend of mine, the path is the narrow one which anyone can walk. When I say narrow, it is in no way of being limited. You see, the outer limits are only created by your inner limits. That's what is being discussed. To open your world through consciousness and awareness, the path is open. You hold the key.

Spirits

2009-06-24T06:04:00.000-07:00

A lot of people don't realize that all day long they are in contact with Spirit. Not just the Spirit in a human suit next to you but also the unseen Spirit that is always around you in the form of energy.
Just as in your daily walk you will encounter those "good and bad people" the same goes for the unseen Spirits. The Natural Laws of Cause and Effect and Law of Vibration among others, are in place for everyone when attracting/drawing a "consciousness" from both the living and the dead.
When your actions and behaviors are rooted from authentic positive intentions and agendas, you will attract those Spirit helpers and loved ones from the other side that assist you in your goodness because they are in alignment with that "consciousness" you are sharing and adding to.
An obvious sympton of expressing mainly positive intent creates an organic goodness within your day/life that is without much personal struggle in certain or all areas of your life. Assistance from good Spirits (here on earth and on the other side) are wide open and supportive of you in the way of good as you are supporting a positive/expansive consciousness. Spirit's guidance and support helps you but also helps them to progress on thier journey to higher realm of be-ing as we are always in the balance of giving and recieving, sowing and reaping.
If your intentions and agendas are rooted in "fear of lack" and "fear of loss", you can be certain your actions and behaviors will display this. This consciousness is restrictive and painful to your Spirit and others. The obvious symptom of what would be drawn would be lower vibratory Spirits. You can tell you have some around when things are not feeling natural, many things go wrong at once, personal items go missing often, accidents occurr and you would generally have an irritable/frustrated nature about you through most your days, as this generally becomes a long term consciousness you carry. Most times people are not aware of the symptoms of what is going on. as many numb out over time and have a general dissociation from their physical body and presence. Self awareness is key in all that you do consciously, as long as you are conscious you always remain in a freedom place of free will and choice. Once you numb out, it's easy to believe you have "no choice" in any given situation.
In general, we draw both positive and negative Spirits around us all the time, because we express a natural duality by nature this cannot be avoided. With awareness we can become more conscious of our actions and intentions/agendas and thereby feel more empowered by our future "conscious" choices to come from a place of good intentions/agendas.
Everyone has "free will" to choose what they draw.. simply by the intention one acts upon. You have the freedom to choose to embrace positive Spirits/people into your life or negative ones. Remember, whatever consciousness you buy into does and will affect you whether you realize it or not.
Free will is very important to understand and enforce in your life. Free will makes "you" responsible for all you co-create in positivity or negativity. Use your free will consciously.
As for the Spirits you draw, your free will applies to this realm too, as you have the free will to rebuke anything or any Spirit from your consciousness.. your life, all you have to do is exercise your free will and rebuke/reject it from a place of your conviction. But remember, you need to remain mindful of the intent that brought about and supported the negativity that manifested so you don't re-create more of the same.

Beyond the Outer Limits

2009-06-24T03:51:00.000-07:00

To move beyond the outer limits, one must first know the inner. Each day you are given the opportunity to know your true self. Do you take it? This is the question to ask. You see we are a very powerful being. The right of choice and free will. No one can stop you from finding you own true essence except you. So, to venture out into the outer limits you must first go beyond your own self imposed limits.
There are many who can only guide you. You need to take the first step. The kingdom of heaven is within you. If it is not, how can it be out there? Take the time to look at where you are. Do not make any judgements, just look at where you are at and take responsibility for your being there. This is the first step. While in this space notice how you fell and what your thinking. Here that small voice while your in that space. That is your spirit talking to you. Take time and listen.
You can do this anytime and when you are ready, you can go forward on your wonderful journey. This is the journey to remebering who you are and from here you will find there are no limitations!!!!!!!!

Clairvoyance, Clairaudience, Clairsentience, and more will be not only discussed... but experienced, to some degree by everyone taking these classes. These classes are invaluable and worth your time in the exploration of who you are and what you contribute to the world.
Life is always better when you have a strong sense of self and know what you are working with!

Classes begin Friday, July 3rd, 7:30pm-9pm, and continue every
Friday night until August 28th. Fee per class is ONLY $10. This is an "open class" meaning you can come for one, two, or all of the classes.

Psychic Development Classes

2009-06-22T22:59:00.000-07:00

When it comes down to being psychic or a medium or both, it is true that everyone has the ability to become,... or strengthen their own abilities/gifts. With knowledge, awareness, and proper guidance you can expound on any gift you hold.. in good!
One thing that is very important to know is that self-awareness has a lot to do with being psychic.
When I lead classes on psychic development, they always have a strong focus on being able to be very self-aware in the classroom. There is no room for self-doubt, in fact I tell my students that it's simply not allowed in the time they are there.
Taking a psychic development class (with the right instructor) is and should be a wonderfully empowering discovery, a self-discovery as well as a discovery of all the levels of consciousness and states of be-ing in the world.
Focusing your energies on psychic development is only a part of what you will discover and enhance within you. Not only do you learn a great many ways to refine your connection with Spirit.. but also it enhances the way you communicate who you are through your newfound self awareness. Sure,.. you learn about clairvoyance, clairsentience, clairaudience, and claircognizance but in my class... you actually experience it right there and take that experience and learning home to practice.
Self discovery in itself is amazing and then to learn the great many ways of how you have been guided all this time and just didn't realize it .. is something of great awe to experience. Unfortunately there seems to be a pattern of people getting older and numbing themselves out not just to the world, but to their own selves. Even if your goal is not to become the most famous psychic in the world, you can still derive much pleasure from getting to know YOU and YOUR special bond with Spirit.. with God!
Whether you take psychic development classes with me specifically or not, I encourage you to take the journey at some point in your life with whomever you choose. If you do, you will discover that your life will take on a whole new meaning through a strong sense of connectedness and that true inner joy can begin to shine out from within you!

My Psychic Development classes begin the first Friday evening of July from 7:30-9 and continue each and every Friday until the last Friday in August. This is an "open" class - which means you can come to 1 or 2 or all classes. The fee is just $10 a class.. that's right, you read right.. only $10 per class. I offer an excellent jam packed class each time! classes are held in Holbrook, NY at www.holbrookwellnesscenter.com directions are on the site.
You can reserve a seat in advance if you like by emailing me at Samantha@illuminatingspirit.com. First come first served...seating is limited.

Many blessings to You,
Samantha

Search for The Truth

2009-05-30T05:28:00.000-07:00

The spiritual path can start with the search for the truth. Some will look to text, churches, groups, and many other things. All of these things are helpful to get started but the truth is not found. You see the truth is already within you. Many call this an awakening or a rememberance. Either way you are moving in the right direction.
Spiritual truth is not found in the material plain. As it is written in The Book of Thomas, it is on the invisible plain. This makes a bit of sense because our spirits are pure essence. The search for the truth should start from within. The connection you have is through your own spirit. One needs to bring that spirit into the body in the silence of the all knowing. Whether your enlightened one is Buddha, Jeshua, or spirit guides, the inherint truth is within you. All you need to do is to go inside. You are your own universe and that universee is part of the whole. In this universe all is revealed.
WAKE UP!!!!!! The jorney needs to start. It is written in several of the Gospels Many will be called, few will be chosen. The calling is happening all the time, how you are chosen is by answering the call. Loa Tzu said the journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. You can take this step. You are supported by Spirit. It is not through others your salvation comes but through you.
The mystery is, there is no mystery! All the truth is hidden in plain sight. You just need to open your eyes, ears, heart, mind, and spirit. The time is coming don't be late!!!!!!!
Ron McKee

Where Am I

2009-03-12T03:31:00.000-07:00

In todays world it is easy to lose oneself. As many writers have written, the secret to the mystery of life lies within side of you. So if you don't know where you are now, how is it you will discover the mysteries? Simple. Go back to the basics. Turn to who you really are. Soul, Spirit, and pure essence. It is in this place that all the secrets to the universe are. You were born with them. To move to this beautiful knowing, one needs to be right here, right now.
Perhaps you don't like what is in the moment but in order to move out of it you must first recognize and acknowlegdge it. It isn't until you do this that the moment will change. Our true essence is bringing love to us in every moment. Can you see, feel, or know this? Yes, you can. It is through every moment that we are one with ourselves and the whole. You are the universe and the universe is you. This is the mystery. Each and everyone of us finds it through our journey. Each and everyone of us has their own mystery.
The discovery process is yours. There is a lot of guidance out there but you will have to find your own within the true you. The starting point is in the moment right now. Remeber yesterday is history, tomorrow a mystery, and today is a gift that is why it is called the present.
One of the ways to start this journey is through meditation. It is here all of your worlds come together in the very moment. If you haven't done this yet, go to http://www.blip.tv/ and look up The Light From Within and there is a starter meditation there by Samantha.
You are blessed, loved , and cared for by spirit. Always allow your light to shine.
Ron McKee

Duality

2009-01-06T03:48:00.000-08:00

How often do you find yourself looking in the mirror not knowing who you are displaying? Are you the loved or lover, mom or dad, husband or wife, co-worker, or your true essence? Many come to find they don't know the person reflected back at them in the mirror. We wear so many masks it can be hard to find the true essence we really are. Our spirit is our true essence but it gets covered up and pushed down or simply ignored. Perhaps we believe the voice we hear in the background from our spirit is ignorant or simple. Well our spirit is simple and divine. Our spirit knows no matter where you go it is there.
Because we have worked to make ourselves so complicated, right, and knowing of the material plain, who needs the basic conection to life and our true journey back to the light. Control, which is fear based, is that of the ego who tells you "I know what I am doing." Our ego path take us in so many directions it can be hard to find the path back into the light of spirit. Don't get me wrong, I am not talking about eliminating the ego as it is a part of who we are but to work from that voice/place connected to our source. Life is simple if we allow it to be.
It only takes a decission to get back to the very nature of our existence beyond time and space. Knock and the door will be opened-Jesus. Work from your true essence and everything changes.
Ron McKee

Peace

2009-01-03T05:49:00.000-08:00

Where does Universal Peace start? Why within each and everyone of us. For the new year, perhaps each and everyone of us can find peace within. It is from here peace radiates out and brings it to this realm. Peace does require introspection. Look within yourself to find the inherent peace of your spirit. Put aside any fear, jealousy, and anger which resides in you. Make peace with it. Bring these up as they are ego based to isolate you from the oneness we all are. Forgive yourself and forgiveness will go beyond you. Let these suttle changes occur and peace will rise to the highest potential within you. Know that this is where Spirit is. The more you are at peace, the more this realm is at peace. It all starts with us and goes beyond us as we are connected to the highest potential of the Universe. Peace unto all.

My Father

2008-12-07T07:01:00.000-08:00

As I awoke this morning and stepped out into to the Light, a figure was before me that I couldn't really see. Blinded by the Sun, I asked who it could be. Why your father of course can you not see. With arms wide open I could feel his warmth, his love, and care for me. Where have you been I asked so boldy. In you of course was his reply. In me. How could that be? My son, it is your return to your light within that opens the door so I can come in. Always I have been with thee, just like the sun and the stars you see. Open is your heart to always see, my love for you is eternally.
Ron McKee

The Key

2008-12-05T06:33:00.000-08:00

Each of us holds the key to start our journey. As Jesus stood before me at the entrance of the cave, I held a key in my hand. I asked "What am I to do with this key?" He said that is for me to decide. Jesus pointed to the cave. If you so decide, enter the cave with your key in hand as it will open the door to your heart. But it is dark in there. My son when you turn the key, the light that you hold inside will shine out to light your way. You will find many things during your journey, so don't be afraid to shine the light into the shadows. It is here you will find many experiences you chose to bury deep down into the recesses of your essence.
With that, Jesus closed my hand over the key and kissed it. I will be with you as I always have. For you, I , and the Father are one, as we are one with everything. As I turned to face the entrance, I realized this is the journey of my way back to spirit and I always had the key.
Only you can decide what journey you will venture on, mine is back to the conscioussness of God and that way is through the heart, mind, body, and spirit. Remember, you have the key to unlock the mysteries of life. Will you turn it? That is for you to decide.

Ron McKee

Co-Creating Reality

2008-11-15T11:06:00.000-08:00

Do we have a say in our reality or is it already writtrn for us? Looking at my reality, I can see both parts are true. On one hand our ego helps create and on the other hand so does our higher self. This in itself brings conflict. Many things from past actions come forth, as our ego relies on the past, and in turn keep us in the past and not of the moment. Our ego wants to have control and relies on things it knows in its limited environment. The ego relies on cause and effect to explain away your reality today that was truly yesterday. To some extent this is true if you are a firm believer in Karma and Cause and Effect. Both are considered natural laws and bear a great deal in our lives. But the ego will twist things around to hold you in place of a reality that is one of illusion.
How do you know on whether your reality is ego based? By how you respond. If your thoughts shoot to blame or ask why me, then it is from the ego base. Your higher self or spirit is with you during these events. It is from this place that you are thankful and recognize the lessons you have learned through the experience. Then you take full responsibility for your participation. This is true growth and living in the moment, which is the reality now, on all levels of your true self.
We experience total awareness in the moment. The past is a memory and the future is an expectation of our reality. Living in the moment is our true reality.

Spirit blesses all.
Ron McKee

Power

2008-11-11T10:30:00.000-08:00

We all have access to the infinite universal source of Power. With this, we need to understand that with such power comes great responsibility. Your thoughts are the place where anything you can imagine will manifest into to this reality. So, whether your thoughts are good or bad, the energy is released. Please remeber you are responsible for all of your use of this power. Keep your thoughts pure, innocent, and at the highgest elavation of vibration in love and light.

The Hero's Journey

2008-11-01T12:30:00.000-07:00

Today while watching Hercules, I was reminded of the hero's journey. The quests we all undertake through life are such journeys. Everyday when you open your eyes there is a journey to start or finish. How do we know which ones are the ones to serve us? Why, all of them of course. The greatest journey of all is, to find your true self. This area has been written about by thousands of people and today it is no different.
There can be many opportunities found on this journey and the rewards are priceless. Is this a simple task? Good question. It can be as simple or as difficult as you want it to be. To dig in and look beyond the illusions was the place to start for me. Just like in the story of Hercules, there can be monsters, demonds, villians, and fear. What can be the most fearful is just to look. As you move down into you and face all these things, the fear dissapates and you can move forward. The key is to do it even if you are afraid to.
What you will find as you go through this is, you are a hero!
Ron McKee

The Light from Within

2008-10-18T06:34:00.000-07:00

We talk about the light from within but what is it. Why love of course. Even in the darkest times, love will still breakthrough the darkness. As love itself is the divine force within. It can be found in the same place you find your higher self.
Is love a thought? Is it a feeling? Why it is both and many other things. As you approach the mountain to climb, allow your love to shine. It will come through your passion of the divine within you. Just allow and trust.

Ron McKee

Changes of the Season

2008-10-18T06:21:00.000-07:00

As I sit outside and ponder, I see my brothers and sisters getting ready for a long nap. They are so adapted to the changes I'm a little jealous. You see I wish to be just like them. To move completely with the infinite source and trust everything that is going on. Each day, I take a step closer to understanding our union and oneness with the source that resides in everything. This source is ever present and speaks to us within. We are all linked into the seasons of life as are our breveran.

To fight it is futile. Our creative force which is our essence is one with everything and it does know the way. So why fight it. What is gained when we choose to fight the seasons of our divine life? For those who like the fight and believe they are winning out, look at the natural spirit driven world. There is no anxiety, fear, unhappieness, or stress. Just peace.

Go outside today and see the true essence in everything and know the divinity within you that bonds there. God bless you all and thank you for being a part of the whole wonderful universe.

Ron McKee

Good Persons Opinion

2008-10-16T03:21:00.000-07:00

Since early childhood, I have saught after the "Good Persons Opinion." What does that mean? For me it means acceptance. But who is this good person? As I am finding, the good persons are those who truly don't undrstand or are incapable to understand at this point what it is that is going on. This came as a real eye opener yesterday and this morning in my meditation.

In meditation, my hunt for the opinions is ego driven and not divine. A constant battle to change others opinion of me is not through the light but through the ego driven self. So, where does this lead me? Back to looking at why it is so important. It really isn't.

To walk the path of love and light is to put your ego in the backseat and allow your higher self/God conciousness to take the wheel. We don't need to worry about what others think of us and feed the monster we carry around. God is in us and we are in God, so allow your light to shine through. For me, this is a realization of an area I have not really looked at.

Thank you

Ron Mckee

The Light from Within

2008-10-13T08:57:00.000-07:00

As I make my way on this journey of light, I often find myself reflecting on where I came from. Each of us, no doubt does this. What is it that we are looking for? Progression I'm sure. How far we come is not truly measured on the outside but on the inside. The light we all share is through the love of our sacred self's and the journey to remove all the blocks and illusions which cover our source. Has our light made it through all the experiences we have had? Yes. Can you see it right now? Sure. Just step back and witness your feelings and thoughts. If you feel a peace flow through you without any negative thoughts, it answers itself. This has been my discovery on the path to the light/love/spirit. It is all right inside you. Peace to all and allow your own light to shine throughout the universe.

Ron McKee
