You and I are spiritual beings on a great human adventure

Regina Cates

After decades of self-assessment and observing our world I found pursuing the goal of connecting with and living guided by our spirit is the path to the happiest, most peaceful and rewarding life. To create life guided by the higher consciousness of our spirit requires intentionally moving away from an ego-thought identification into a heart-first approach to our actions. I learned nothing helps move us into our heart as quickly as remaining present with and responsible for our behavior to ensure every word, thought, motivation and deed is aligned with the loving and wise truths of our soul.

Truths such as: life is only real in the present; love always trumps fear; positivism produces greater happiness than negativity; gratitude brings us more of life’s wonders than complaint; all life is sacred; win-win resolutions establish greater results than conflict; two rights do not make a wrong, and visa versa; materialist thinking keep us identifying with ego; action always out-produces intent; being nice results in more cooperation than rudeness; asking “if this, then” determines the long-term consequences of short-term action; being right is over-rated because only ego needs to prove itself right; ego is not capable of seeing past itself to connect us to spirit; you and I are only one drop in a sea of interconnected and dependant life; the only person I can ever control or change is me; the behavior we put out returns to us like a boomerang; and the infinite other truths of mindful, attentive, careful and thoughtful spiritual consciousness.

I believe devoting ourselves to intimately connect with and live guided by spirit is the reason for our existence.  Therefore, we can pursue no greater achievement than transforming an ego-thought identity to leading with our heart, by tapping into and living guided by the infinite universal truths that reside within our soul.
