Separation Anxiety: A Minister Discussion
Join Syntysche, Jack & Shad Groverland for a discussion about how to heal our separation anxiety in a divisive world.
The Secret of Personal Transformation
According to the teachings of the spiritual masters, the True Self of God exists within everyone. In Christianity this True Self is Christ. In Buddhism this True of Core Nature is called Buddha Nature. In Hindu Spirituality it is called Brahman. Every major religion has a special name for the True Self of every person. This is all very promising, but it is useless unless we know how to access this nature and bring it forth into our lives. No…
Transcending Personal Duality
There are many who say that we are born again, life after life, to make amends for our bad karma from previous lives. It is coming to light in our ever-awakening experiences that the good and evil which come into our lives arrive not from past lives, but from each person’s present state of consciousness. Either you are living from the dualistic awareness and constantly creating suffering for yourself and others, or you have entered the enlightened awareness of Oneness.…
Duality or At-ONE-ment
There are but 2 interpretations of Life, DUALITY OR AT-ONE-MENT, as A Course In Miracles refers to it. There is an effective analogy in the ancient text of the Gospel of Thomas that points out the illusion of duality and the trouble that accompanies it. “No one can ride two horses. No one can string two bows at the same time.” Yet, that is exactly what most people trapped in the thinking of the world are attempting. Is it any wonder why there are so many people abusing themselves…
A Peace That Passes Understanding
The Enlightened State of Consciousness bespeaks a peace of mind that is beyond the understanding of the world. It is a mystical peace that is not contingent on circumstances meeting a person’s personal expectation, desires or hopes. Living in this Heavenly Awareness is the stated objective of our spiritual quest, state by the masters down through the ages. Here is master Eckhart Tolle describing this state of mind that The Masters of the Far East call “samadhi”. When you know…
Know Thyself
“Nosce Te Ipsum” These words were inscribed above the entrance to the Temple of Apollo in ancient Greece. In the Temple there was a sacred Oracle that people believed could answer their prayers and solve their problems. No doubt, most people visiting the Temple read the words inscribed over the entrance but missed the deeper Truth they offered – deeper and more life-enhancing than anything the Oracle could possibly offer them. Thus, these ancient Greeks would go on pursuing guidance…
Are We Living in a Simulation? – Part 4: The Divine Construct
If we think we’re awake when we’re dreaming, how do we know we are not dreaming when we think we are awake? Having a better understanding of what we think of as reality will bring us closer to a healthier relationship to life.
The Three Faces of God: Part 2 – Is Your God BIG Enough?
Based on the book Is Your God Big Enough? Close Enough? You Enough?: Jesus and the Three Faces of God by Paul R. Smith, this talk series is an in-depth look at how we think about, relate to and experience the Divine presence in our lives. Each week takes us deeper into understanding the three different ways to relate to God and how to incorporate it into our daily routine. In Part 2, Rev. Shad speaks about our relationship to…
God has entrusted us with the care of his/her creation
Indigenous peoples have always possessed an innate sense of our deep connection to the Earth, Fire, Water and Wind. We have always known that a tree is alive and has children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. We have always known that the waters and the winds are our lifeblood and that the power of the fire is to be respected. We have always known how important it is to our future generations that we live our lives humbly and in balance…
Dios nos ha confiado el cuidado de su creación
Los pueblos indígenas siempre han tenido un sentido innato de nuestra profunda conexión con la Tierra, el Fuego, el Agua y el Viento. Siempre hemos sabido que un árbol está vivo y tiene hijos, nietos y bisnietos. Siempre hemos sabido que las aguas y los vientos son nuestra sangre vital y que se debe respetar el poder del fuego. Siempre hemos sabido lo importante que es para nuestras futuras generaciones que vivamos nuestras vidas con humildad, en equilibrio y con…
Different is the New Normal
Diversity and equality are something we often talk about and try to practice, but very few of us take the time to understand why. Without truly knowing the “why,” our efforts are likely to be empty and short-lived. Join Rev. Shad as we work together to answer the “why” and heal the barriers between us.
Diferente es la nueva normalidad
La diversidad y la igualdad son algo de lo que a menudo hablamos y tratamos de practicar, pero muy pocos de nosotros nos tomamos el tiempo para entender por qué. Sin saber realmente el “por qué”, es probable que nuestros esfuerzos sean vacíos y de corta duración. Únase Rev. Shad mientras trabajamos juntos para responder el “por qué” y sanar las barreras entre nosotros. Interpretación de Rosa Estrada.
What We Need is Ganas
If life is not giving us the results we want, perhaps we are missing something. I think we need “ganas.” I hope you will join me to figure out what it is and how to get it. – Rev. Shad
Who are You to Judge!?
In the human experience we can’t help but analyze the world around us and make snap judgments, based on what we see. So why is this so much a part of our experience and how can we use this as a tool for creating more good, as opposed to inflicting harm? Join me as we search for answers and review an Instagram debate I had, which inspired this topic.
¿Quien eres tú para juzgar?
En la experiencia humana no podemos dejar de analizar el mundo que nos rodea y hacer juicios rápidos, basados en lo que vemos. Entonces, ¿por qué es esto una parte tan importante de nuestra experiencia y cómo podemos usar esto como una herramienta para crear el bien en lugar de infligir daño? Únase a mí para buscar respuestas y revisar un debate de Instagram que tuve, que inspiró este tema. Interpretación de Rosa Estrada.
Una humanidad, muchas historias
Si supiera tu historia, tendría que amarte. Traducción de Rosa Estrada
One Humanity, Many Stories
If I knew your story, I couldn’t help but love you.
Morality: Do the Right Thing

Moralidad: hacer lo correcto
Al mirar el mundo que nos rodea, algunos podrían decir: “¿Qué pasó con la moralidad?” La moralidad podría no ser tan cortante y seca como la mayoría de nosotros asumimos que es. Exploremos juntos una mejor comprensión de los problemas modernos que rodean la moralidad y lo que podemos hacer al respecto. Traducción por Stephanie San German.
