In this meeting, Samuel provides an in-depth teaching about balance and imbalance. His discussions include: how dramatic events in the world, spending too much time in our heads, and making “rules” about what constitutes balance can create personal imbalance; and how taking loving action, ending procrastination, and having a vision helps us achieve balance.

During this meeting Samuel talks about having a life in which we have what we want, care about, and love. Using group discussion and insightful exercises, Samuel teaches about: why our world and our personal lives critically need balance; the dangers of learning to live in and with pain; and how to identify the patterns that are “killing” us. Additionally, Samuel defines: three stages of childhood development that greatly affect our adult lives; how certain experiences in these stages have contributed to those life patterns that keep us from balance; and the role acceptance and forgiveness, especially self forgiveness, can play in helping us get what we really want in life.

During this teaching Samuel discusses: the role crisis plays in our lives; keys to dealing with crisis; how crisis is a response to a lack of vision, feelings of powerlessness, lost passion, and a life lived “on adrenaline.” The meeting ends with Samuel giving an exercise that can help us see how crisis serves us and where vision is needed.

In this month’s meeting, Samuel discusses: how communication and compromise are involved in all aspects of our world; why security issues arise when we are presented with opportunities; our physical reactions to our security issues; and the importance of redirecting addictive behavior. Samuel teaches about money in the second part of the evening including the importance of understanding money as a symbol; our relationship with money as a reflection of our relationship with masculine energy (God and father); how money problems mirror our authority issues and self-image; and a shortcut to changing our views of ourselves.

At this meeting Samuel discusses: different kinds of graduations we experience in our lives; the role of fear in our resistance or acceptance of change; how to be heard by the Universe; the effects of not having passion in our lives; graduation as a rite of passage. Through the metaphor of an ant’s life, Samuel teaches us how we can fulfill our destiny as Guardians by changing our lives and, by doing that, changing the world.

Samuel talks about the May holidays of Beltane, Mother’s Day and Wesak before moving to a short discussion about the benefits of being grounded. He then shifts to questions and answers and covers: the “double-anchor” balancing technique—when to use it and how it differs from similar techniques; accept-ing and creating a positive relationship with your personal dragon; awakening dragon force in China; Dream School; and an exercise in using your personal dragon for self-healing.

Samuel begins this evening discussing “the next step in dreaming.” He talks about dreams being a function of creation energy, the different types of dreams, and asks the audience if they are manifesting what they want. He then answers questions about manifestation and the power of dreaming, including: “Dream School”; how dreams can give access to other life experiences; and making use of the information received in dreams. Samuel also discusses how high-frequency energy affects the body; and gives some unusual stress reduction techniques.

Samuel devotes this evening’s teaching to a discussion of sleeping dreams, day dreams, dreams of the heart, and passion. The topics Samuel covers include: the three types of dreams we experience while we sleep; the significant role dreams play in our lives; the importance of remembering our dreams; the dream journal—a powerful tool to remember our sleeping dreams and the dreams of our hearts. He also discusses the role of passion in our lives: how it fuels our dreams, the consequences of losing it, and the tools for reawakening it.

During this meeting, Samuel teaches about the role our fears play on the road to Mastery. The topics he discusses include: love and fear as opposites; avoiding the problems caused by banishing fear without creating a positive substitute; how our childhood affects our perceptions of fear and how those perceptions change in adulthood; liberating ourselves from the belief that “I am not enough”; how our survival mechanisms are the primary filter for fear; two purposes fear serves; and a simple way to determine if we are acting in fear or in love.

During this meeting Samuel describes 2005 as a year in which our planet will experience a massive influx of creation energy. In response to this energy flow, he begins a series of teachings about things we should know while on “The Road to Mastery.” He talks about paying attention to the bigger picture, which includes: knowing the difference between abundance and prosperity; learning to communicate tactfully and practicing extreme courtesy, as well as eliminating negativity from and around us; and, recognizing behavioral patterns, such as coddling and other co-dependent or unconscious communication methods that no longer represent who we are and what we are here to do.
