Some people try to find it in alcohol or drugs. Some try to find it in promiscuous sex, while others try to find it in the material things money can buy. Some try gambling, traveling, shopping, TV, surfing, the web, eating or gossip. All of the above will fail to bring true and lasting joy, momentary or fleeting pleasures perhaps, but not true Joy which can only be attained through Personal Transformation into your True Self. At Unity’s 9AM MST

Thank you & Blessings! “The Universe IS a Green Dragon!”A Spiritual Talk Given by Guest Speaker Steve Hays“Our emergent cosmos is the fundamental context for all discussions of value, meaning, purpose, or ultimacy of any sort. … Only by establishing ourselves within this context can we begin to discover the meaning and significance of ordinary things.” – Brian Swimme (Author of ‘The Universe Is A Green Dragon’)
The Gift of Change, by Marianne Williamson Pg 206 & 207 “Often we try to get clear about what our goals are, figuring out a five- or ten-year plan, making treasure maps, identifying those we wish to emulate. But we should think about our spiritual goals as well. The question shouldn’t just be, ‘Where do I want to be in five or ten years?’ It should also be, ‘Where do I want to be spiritually in five or ten years?
Which do you desire more: Serving the wants of the ego or connecting with the Divine? Join Rev. Shad as he dives into what might be the most important question we could ever ask ourselves.
Matthew 11:28 says “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest.” Spiritual Rest is the place of Loving Intimacy with God. Spirit desires to meet with us in times of Spiritual Rest, to simply love us and restore us through intimacy with no expectations. I woke up today thinking about my message and sat in meditation focusing my energy on the embrace of Spirit’s Love moving through my entire being. I found
Notice how birds land on a branch – with absolute trust. They trust that the branch will move with them as they land and then stabilize. You can do the same too. What if your “landing” isn’t what you expected and you wobble? Does that mean you will fall? Hardly! Even gymnasts land in a way that forces them to deal with their weight and forward movement. You are strong and can do the same. Recognizing that movement when you land is a natural and helpful
One fascinating dialogue in Shakespeare’s Hamlet concludes with this statement by Hamlet, “Be it resolved then, there is nothing good or bad but thinking makes it so.” Most people, it seems, go a long time seeking outside themselves for the meaning of life, in an effort to figure out how to live effectively, successfully, and happily ever after. Of course, they all will fail in their quest unless or until they seek to see the relationship their own thinking has
God so loved the world that He/She didn’t send a committee. He/She sent the “Word” that is within you, sometimes called “Christ in you” or “The Still Small Voice” or the “God Self.” The Word has existed from the beginning, down through all the Ages of Mankind, in spite of the edicts and machinations of every government on earth. Let’s consider this scripture from the book of Deuteronomy in existence a thousand years B.C. (Deuteronomy 30:11-14) “For this commandment which
In Matthew 8:20, the Master over life and death said, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head (and find his place in life – peace of mind).” Many people think you have to die to get to heaven, and then only will you have peace. In this video we will interpret the meaning of the passages surrounding the Master’s statement. And we will uncover the mind-transforming
Every morning we are born again. Today is what matters most. The Buddha The Ultimate 2020 Consciousness Challenge Talk Series is about creating a clear plan and setting goals for long term success in healing relationships and finances–bringing more joy and happiness for planting a strong foundation for an awakened life in 2020.

The Ultimate 2020 Consciousness Challenge Talk Series is about creating a clear plan and setting goals for long term success in healing relationships and finances–bringing more joy and happiness for planting a strong foundation for an awakened life in 2020. In this video, I talk about Divine nature – whether we’re dancing and being within that miracle-led life, or whether we are giving our life force energy away. Too often we give our energy to places that bring stress, panic
French sage, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, wrote this profound statement of Truth: “Joy is the proof of the Presence of God.” Since God is Omnipresent (Everywhere Present) and everyone is part of God, everyone should have joy all the time. However, most people seldom have joy. Thus, de Chardin’s s statement only becomes completely True is we add three words:“Joy is the proof of the awareness of the Presence of God.” Looking at all the conflict, corruption and violence in the world, you may
Very few of us actually live the Golden Rule, even though almost all of us know it and recognize its value. So why is that!? Have you ever considered that maybe we all know it, but we don’t truly understand it? Join me as we declassify the hidden Truth of this “rule” and get to the bottom of what it really means.
Look into your future at what you desire in your life for the next year and put God to the test. Do this inner work as a means of awakening your innate ability of cultivating the life of your dreams. We live similar lives, year after year, because we aren’t committed to changing old behaviors and thought patterns. This creates the same results over and over. Maybe you don’t feel worthy, or you may doubt the majesty and manifesting power of
When we look at the relative state of goodness that we experience each day, it pales in comparison to the Divine Goodness that is all around us. Rev. Shad discusses why the relative goodness around us is waning and how it compares to the state of Divine Goodness.
So many of us spend much of our life distracted and busied by the wants and needs of others. We say to ourselves that one day we will do this or that in our lives. We look forward to that distant point in the future when the whole world will open up and let go of its grip on us and the time will be at hand for adventure, self-love and personal dreams fulfilled. But it has never been about
It doesn’t take years or even months to become a spiritual healer and light bearer in our world. But it takes personal devotion to a simple but profound mental practice that enlightens the mind at once. If you’re ready for a new way of life, join Rev. Jack in this practice.
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.
“My Ego is My Frenemy – Part 2,” by Shad Groverland. This week, we expand on that and look at how both of these sides of the ego affect your life and what you can do to manage the shifting polarities that result. This is an applicable talk that leaves you with a tool for living a more balanced and harmonious life.
My Ego is My Frenemy – Part 1. Part 1 of a 2 part sermon series by Shad Groverland titled: “My Ego Is My Frenemy.” Have you ever been among “spiritual” seekers who seem more ego-driven than spirit led? Is it possible some spiritual practices actually inflate the ego instead of diminish it? This Sunday we will start a two part series investigating this issue and whether it is a natural part of spiritual growth or something else. We will also examine how having a clearer understanding of the ego can assist us on our own spiritual journey.
