In this powerful teaching Samuel discusses: the need to change patterns that no longer work for us; how the root of all our difficulties can be found in our resistance to change; the importance of creating patterns that serve love; the consequences of consciously choosing not to change; the ways our physical body works as a filter for life force energy; the strength of “blindness”; how to amplify the positive and focus on what works in our lives, and much more.

In this meeting, Samuel discusses “how to make the best use of your life in 2004.” Teachings include dealing with loss and the “open doorway” loss creates for abundance; how conscious intent and specific action bring about change; two things we can do to bring balance into our lives; and the need to bring awareness and active control into our lives, particularly with respect to our health, our finances, and the ways we deal with fear.

In this meeting Samuel encourages us to see the holidays in a new light and offers a “Generosity Exercise” that we can do throughout the holidays (and every day) to live our Guardianship. Samuel says, “A generous heart is the first sign of an awakened and activated being.” Teachings include generosity as an act of the heart and a key to manifestation; an unconventional definition of generosity; physical, mental and spiritual examples of generosity; and a story about a generous God.

Through audience participation and storytelling, Samuel uses this meeting to teach the key to manifesting in the new energy of 5:3:2. Samuel says that until we are able to function as gods in this world, our manifestation process will be fruitless. To remedy this, Samuel explains that we need to embody God and do our best to die to our negative beliefs and expectations about ourselves and our world, be willing to change our beliefs, not allow expectations to disguise our reality, and clearly differentiate between wants and needs.

Samuel begins this evening discussing personal change in our lives and the important role forgiveness plays in positive change. He teaches how our relationship with our biological father affects our understanding of “God.” In response to questions from the audience, Samuel discusses: the different types of dreams we can have; how to remember, learn from and gain some control within our dreams; how to wake up feeling rested and refreshed after a great night’s sleep; the role and purpose of detachment within the process of inner growth; ways we can change our lives to be more effective in the world, and more.

Samuel uses this evening’s teaching to help us look at our lives and the choices we face. His teachings include: making choices on knowing what would be the best and most loving thing to do; understanding that “it’s all about you but it’s not all about you,” and how to apply that perspective to our lives; ways we limit our ability to see options; how we make choices based on trust or fear; and much more.

Samuel begins this meeting by asking us how we’re doing, and uses that to segue into a practicum in which we examine the dreams we’ve held in the past, and those we now hold. Through a series of questions, Samuel has us look at our earliest memories of “this is what I want to be when I grow up,” asking us to look at how those changed and how what we do now (and are going to do tomorrow) reflects those early dreams. Samuel stresses the importance of recognizing the patterns this exercise reveals because “you repeat in your life what works for you, and you repeat what doesn’t work for you.” Once we become aware of our patterns we can move from reaction to action, and begin to change our present, let go of past desires that no longer work for us and live our present in a way that will create our future memories of “golden times.”

Samuel discusses the ancient sun festival of Lughnassadh and how we can use the energy of this festival to reap the magnificence of the year. “The sun,” says Samuel “brings all abundance,” and he explains how we can harvest this abundance by seeking beauty and releasing expectations. He continues by discussing the two main ways we sabotage our abundance: laziness and lack of trust. This teaching is a perfect wake-up call to get us moving and living with a heightened focus and awareness of the magnificence of life!

Samuel uses the upcoming summer solstice to focus his teachings on how balanced communications can help us resolve life-long security issues. Topics include: the significance of the summer solstice; how relationships provide powerful learning opportunities; how to know if you’ve been heard; how issues of prosperity and abundance show up in your communications; the power of being a good listener; and the keys for communicating in balance.

Samuel used the ancient fire festival of Beltane to focus this teaching on the power of making love and the necessity of prioritizing our relationship with Source. Among many things, Samuel talked about: beauty as a creative act of love; bringing the magic of Beltane into our lives; the Fusion of our inner god and goddess; the importance of being aware of our divinity; making love as communion with Source; the foundation of all great loving; the importance of gratitude; and, how to become worthy of the god/ goddess within.
