For 27 years I have been able to
help hundreds of people to overcome their doubts, heal the wounds caused by human fear, restore faith in themselves and, above all, to develop
their own individual potential - to bring forth their own light, to find a sense of direction when they were lost. I have been their friend and
counselor and I have given comfort and courage when desperately needed. ...continue reading
A Single Thought of Gratitude Raised to Heaven Is the Most Perfect Prayer
–(Gotthold Ephraim Lessing)
As a spiritual counselor I have dealt with many people over the years and I have a lot of compassion for all human frailties – - as God knows I have my own. I never judge people’s weaknesses, choices, mistakes, life style or their problems. I am only here to help and encourage but never to judge.
However, I must say that I have no empathy for the “ingrates” because those people never have and never will have enough, regardless of the abundance as they are incapable of recognizing their blessings and values and refuse to be grateful. To me these are the true ‘poor’ people, even if they have money. The lack of gratitude can also produce greed as there is never enough. And it’s a bottomless basket that can never be filled.

Peter came to Jesus and said to Him: “My Lord, if my brother is at fault with me, how many times should I forgive him? Up to seven times?” And Jesus said to him: “I do not say to you up to seven times, but to seventy times seven”
- Matthew 18: 21-23
Why is that we humans find it so difficult to forgive? Often times you hear people proudly saying “I forgive… but… I never forget!”.
Of course, unless you are senile or have a mental handicap, you cannot forget what happens to you, but you can let go and not dwell on the negativity of resentment, judgment or vengeance.
Forgiveness does not mean to condone wrong doings and inappropriate behavior. To forgive is to let go, cut the string, drop your rock – as no one can ever change the past and neither can our actions change anyone else. We can only change ourselves.
Of course we all have experienced some of the hurts that others have inflicted upon us. However, the reality is that each and every one of us will, sooner or later, make mistakes and say words that will hurt others. No one is perfect and it’s not always easy to be human!!
When someone offends you, hurts or abuses you, [...] Continue Reading…
FEAR
“F“alse “E“vidence “A“ppearing “R“eal
We build our fortune thought by thought for so the Universe was wrought. Thought is an other name for fate, choose then your destiny and wait for Love brings Love and hate brings hate.
– Henry Van Dyke 1852-1933
There are two basic forces that rule this polarized dual world of ours: LOVE and FEAR.
LOVE the root of all that is GOOD! Fear the root of all evil. Therefore where there is Love there cannot be fear; where there is fear there cannot be Love.
Have you noticed how fast and strongly people react to fear?
They tell negative reports, like the media does, and the negativity spreads like an epidemic with plenty of followers and spreaders of gloom. Tell the Truth and very few are willing to listen and much less believe. [...] Continue Reading…
Being that I was born and raised in the old countries, under the teachings and the rules of deep ignorance, especially those made by the religious leaders of the time, I grew up believing that worry was not only necessary, but ultimately it was the only way to show our love and caring for ourselves and others. It was a spiritual virtue according to the authorities of those days.
Worry-Guilt-Fear were our “modus vivendi”
Who are you if you don’t worry? What’s the matter with you…have you no feelings? You have to worry about your bills, financial affairs, the kids, the safety of your loved ones, the job, the political situations, the general economy, about what others think, the weather and on…and on…and on…

Prayer is to the quality of our lives as water is to the seed of a plant. (Gregg Braden)
No prayer of supplication, but rather visualization and imagination, which is co-creation with the Divine .
Prayer is not a religious experience, but rather prayer is a spiritual technology as we come to the realization that we are the co-creators with the Infinite Mind which we call God.
God is not a man sitting on a throne who judges, condemns, rewards or needs to be worshipped.
God, the Infinite Spirit which dwells within each and every one of us is all there is and He is the life force of all life on Earth and throughout the whole Universe.
Prayer of supplication and invocation does not exist as [...] Continue Reading…
I would like to share some of my feelings and understanding of what spiritual counseling is all about.
The psychic world has become a huge business. There are many psychic lines with thousands of readers all over the world and are daily growing out of tree branches.
Actually the reality is that we are all psychic as “psyche” in Greek means mind, spirit, soul, breath…thus we all have that innate quality within us. It is part of our spiritual nature, but unfortunately no one has ever taught us about the gift of “intuition”, so most of us do not trust it and, instead of listening to the Intuitive Self, we reject our inner feelings with rational and logical thinking.

In whatever religion you have been taught, however you have been brought up, and however you have understood your teachers…
In this levels you will understand and grasp the message. It is not enough that this message be believed. It is a message to be lived.
The essence of Universal Religion is Peace and Truth, with Love for and Kindness to all the creatures of the earth. Now it is the time to express this essence in your own life.
A beginning must be made, and the place to begin is within and in yourself. You would reform the world? Begin with yourself brother! The message of the unreformed reformer seldom inspires reformation. [...] Continue Reading…
