Family life is full of major and minor crises — the ups and downs of health, success and failure in career, marriage, and divorce — and all kinds of characters. It is tied to places and events and histories. With all of these felt details, life etches itself into memory and personality. It’s difficult to imagine anything more nourishing to the soul. –Thomas Moore
My husband and I just drove 1,253 miles in our motor coach to visit my birth family and celebrate Father’s Day with my dad. At the urging of my other the entire family will be together—most likely with my dad for the last time before he makes his transition. Dad will have the opportunity to hold his new grandson, his only namesake for the first and last time.
This will be a bitter-sweet moment. We will all be together and will want to make it festive, but Dad’s condition is anything buy positive. In December he had another stroke. Twenty years ago, at the age of 58, he was paralyzed on the left side by his first stroke. The fact that he lost his right hand in a saw mill accident when he was nineteen and wore a hook for many years meant that my mother had to help him with many basic requirements of daily living. Twenty years later, she is still tending to him, but now he is blind, without short-term memory, incontinent, and totally dependent. It has been her labor of love.
Dad sleeps most of the time now and drifts in and out of awareness. He even sees and talks with his father and others who left us years ago. Dad is ready to go, but something has kept him here. Perhaps this gathering and the opportunity to say “good-bye” will free him from his need to hold on to his debilitated body.
This time with relatives will require lots of presence. It will be easy to get caught up in the drama and fall back into old judgments. Or I will assume my former role as “Peace Keeper,” smooth ruffled feathers, and make everyone happy and everything OK.
Einstein spoke about “relativiTea” the impact of the researcher in his scientific work. He discovered that whatever the observer noticed influenced the outcome of the experiment. In other words, whatever we see is what is—even if only in our eyes. And we know that we create our lives through our thoughts and beliefs.
During this week with relatives, it is my deepest intention to remain aware and be a “Frequency Holder” that Eckhart Tolle described in A New Earth. I will remain present, open, loving, and most of all, non-reactive. What is is, and all is well.

It is the creative potential itself in human beings that is the image of God. –Mary Daly
We arrive with no instructions, just the burning desire to know who we are, why we are here, and find our way back home. Subconsciously, we aspire to be as enlightened as the Christ or Buddha, to achieve the greatness of Einstein, to make as much money as Bill Gates, and leave a legacy of love that rivals that of Mother Teresa. Ideally, we’d like to latch on to the lasso of Indiana Jones, Jr., find the Holy Grail, and reach the pinnacle of our potential.
Most intend to make the most of our brief dash between birth and death, but good intentions are not enough. We haven’t a clue what tools we need or how to use them if we are lucky enough to find them. We don’t know what the first step entails or how to sustain momentum on this life-long marathon. We are at the mercy of those who have gone before us, trusting and hoping that they will not lead us into a black hole.
Before we discover that the true path leads within and comes from within, we may scale the rocky relationship mountain, only to be abandoned mid-way. Others may climb the corporate ladder only to find position, power and possessions are disappointing. Eventually the Universe delivers a cosmic tornado—a life-threatening illness, extreme loss, natural disaster, or dark night of the soul—that shatters our illusions. Then we are free to discover the truth of our being and that the answers are within, not out there.
Soon after I began my spiritual journey, I would be awakened in the early morning. I lay still and silent in a state of receptivity while information flowed into my awareness. After an hour or so, when my mind could contain no more, I would rise, go to my computer and enter everything I could remember.
These divine downloads occurred three or four mornings a week. Within six months a holistic, holographic matrix unfolded and revealed the essence of the human experience. Sacred geometry accompanied the concepts long before I knew what it was or knew anything about spiritual symbolism. This inspired model for self-discovery is a gift of grace that continues to evolve in harmony with own personal and spiritual growth. I call it the Blueprint for the Human Spirit.
The Blueprint clearly illustrates the core aspects of life—body, mind, heart, gut (intuition), and soul, for many spheres of existence—quantum, personal, social, global, and eternal. It also reveals numerous connections among the different aspects of our being. These interrelationships show how we can live authentically, purposefully, and in harmony with the Universe when we are in alignment. One example is the recipe for inspired living: Balance (Personal) + Service (Social) + Oneness (Global) = Joy (Eternal Essence).
Hidden within the Bluepirnt are the keys to abundant living, holistic transformation and spiritual awakening. These functional processes emerged from the sacred structure of the matrix. They are practical guides for realizing our highest potential, manifesting our visions for the future, and knowing our oneness with All That Is.
Perhaps the most astounding revelation from the Blueprint is the Circle of Consciousness. This integrates all the cells of the matrix into a unified field. This synergistic whole shows the totality of existence, and from it we can discover and express the Essence of Being. In this moment, the concepts, no longer necessary, dissolve into pure infinite Light.
Joy comes from using your potential. –Will Shultz
