One thing we all have in common is a desire for instant changes or instant gratification. By moving into a soul-based mindset, you will experience instant shifts each moment, truly.

My first passion was creating and performing music. Playing guitar in bands from age fifteen to twenty five provided me the greatest pleasure, and part of that satisfaction was how my music touched others. But I wanted more. I wanted a record deal with a real record company. Then, I wanted to write songs for major artists and produce them in the recording studio. I didn’t want to wait.

My epiphany with God on my twenty-fifth birthday showed me a new passion and purpose. Spirit has shown me a great, expansive vision of New Three^® University, and what is to come thereafter.

Seeing the future and such an enormous potential, leaves a small part of me wanting it now, whereas the bigger part of me is enjoying each step of creating this global movement under spirit, and the magic each day brings.

More importantly, I’ve learned to see the instant shifts in each moment.

Are my wants and desires coming from my soul?

A common question people ask is whether that feeling is of the soul or just a human desire.

Have you ever thought, “It feels like my soul longs for and wants *this*?”

What’s true is that our personality has wants and desires, and our soul also has wants and desires. The soul’s desires are always going to be the most purposeful and fulfilling, but may also be challenging. Typically the human personality’s desires are more of a comfortable feeling because it’s human to choose what we think is a path of least resistance. The issue is our limited human mind can’t know for sure which path is going to lead us into the greatest soul fulfillment. Only the soul knows this.

Sometimes the wants of our personality are aligned with our soul, but often times they are not. Timing is usually where we’re off using only the human mind. We may strongly feel we’re meant to have something right now, when it actually may be years away.

Helping our family open their hearts to the spiritual decisions we make is something we all care about, because we care about our family, and we want them to benefit from the things that have helped us.

But it’s not always easy. For many of us, it may be shocking and draining to experience the critical responses from our family and friends.

When you find your spiritual path, your eyes are wide-open. It can feel as if you’ve discovered the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, and you want everyone to know how to get their pot of gold!

It’s natural to feel joy by sharing the books, events and classes with your family and friends that helped you so much.

Often times loved ones may seem a little supportive at first with comments like “that’s interesting” or “I’m happy for you”, but then comes some criticism, misunderstanding and a feeling of unacceptance. If you’ve experienced any degree of this with loved ones, please know it is very common in today’s world. Given the level of enlightenment that humanity has reached, it’s normal for people lacking a spiritual practice to unconsciously draw from the judgmental collective consciousness energy. But what can you do to help them detach from the judgement and move into understanding? You change the conversation.
