Samuel says that because of Valentine’s Day, February “is a month that is all about love.” With his focus on love, Samuel’s discussion is designed to help us: understand why we strive for love; gain a broader perspective of what being “in love” means; recognize the many different ways we love; joyfully embrace our role in Source’s expression of itself; realize the power of laying down our lives out of love for others (in nonfatal ways); learn how to change how the world understands and expresses love; become a doorway to change by wielding the power of Source Love; appreciate that mastering love is not a duty, but a pleasure; and, take part in a powerful exercise to awaken the power of love within ourselves.

During his first meeting of the year, Samuel devotes the beginning to helping us recognize how we manage power in our lives. These discussions include how to wield power without abusing it; how to recognize the abuse of power in our day-to-day lives; the foundation of all abuses of power; and the key to ensuring that we exercise the right use of power. During the remainder of the meeting Samuel looks to the future, with discussions including: the upcoming changes in our mental/emotional bodies; the importance of stimulating our brains, and ways to do it; and with our world at a point of change–a precipice, how we as Guardians can help create a world in which “the loving thing” is acceptable.

Using the holiday season as the backdrop for his message, Samuel begins with a discussion about ways to relieve stress during the holidays and every day. Next, Samuel explains that the story of Jesus’ birth is not a unique story, and he briefly refers to earlier stories of virgin-born gods celebrated around the time of Christmas. He then shows how the traditional story of Jesus’ birth exemplifies the important life lessons of: living our beliefs regardless of the consequences (Mary and Joseph); generosity (the inn keeper); curiosity as a means for life change (shepherds); and following our hearts, trusting in maybe, and being flexible and adaptable so that we are happy regardless of the outcome (three wise men/kings).

Using the ancient Samhain holiday as a backdrop, Samuel uses this meeting for an important discussion on releasing. The topics include: the example of the butterfly; a visualization to help us focus and quiet our minds; the amazing benefits of allowing time for quiet; a way to discover the cause of stress in our lives; the power of releasing what we no longer need and renewing what brings us pleasure. Note: There were audio difficulties in the beginning of this meeting. These portions have been edited out where possible.

During this very special evening, Samuel leads the group through a rare self-healing visualization that draws energy from the Source Field to help bring wholeness into our lives. He begins with information on, preparing for, and understanding how the Source Field, and therefore, the visualization works. As part of getting us ready for the visualization, Samuel discusses these related topics: the importance of knowing what could make our lives better; how to identify what we need to heal physically, mentally/emotionally, and spiritually; the different ways people visualize and the need to avoid comparative judgment; how we attract healing from the Source Field; how our healing benefits the world; and why we don’t need to heal the past or the future.

Samuel begins this meeting sharing an easy process for becoming aware of our behavioral patterns (both positive and negative) and for using those patterns in an empowered way. He then shifts into storytelling mode as he shares an entertaining and information-packed tale of a young prince’s quest to become a wise and good leader. Through this story, Samuel helps us recognize practical traits of an effective leader; the importance of relationships for support and companionship, and as vehicles to help us grow stronger, wiser, and become better friends and leaders. Samuel ends the meeting giving us the keys to live as the Guardians we were destined to be.

During this meeting Samuel focuses on the unhealthy relationships we find ourselves in. His topics of discussion include: taking action to change the negative and improve the positive aspects of our lives; causes and symptoms of toxic relationships; the types of relationships that can turn toxic and ways to avoid common causes of toxicity; reasons we remain in toxic relationships and how they damage us; ways to heal toxic relationships, including the role of forgiveness; and the amazing hamster-ball of love.

On this Independence Day holiday meeting Samuel uses the metaphor of an athlete to discus better ways to play “the game of life.” His discussion includes: taking an easy step toward being fully loving and being loved fully; the healthy way of challenging ourselves; recognizing the things we are dedicated to, and determining whether they are leading us to our best; why, no matter what we do, our personal issues are always going to come up; that we should choose to be happy no matter what we are doing; gathering friends to help our hearts grow bigger; and the different types of tyranny in our lives.

Samuel uses June’s meeting to help us examine ways to improve our lives. He first gives us three exercises to do on our own to help us make this month (or any month) better. Then, because the month of June contains several holidays, he teaches us how we can use the group energy of any holiday for our own energy work. He devotes the majority of the meeting to his main focus: four specific ways we can make our day-to-day lives better: (1) understanding how we can reduce resistance by eliminating our justifications; (2) shifting our beliefs and habits toward unity in all areas of our lives; (3) understanding the power of saying “no” to those things that hurt us; and experiencing enthusiasm as a means to bring magic into back our lives.

Samuel says that Questions and Answers are one of his favorite ways to meet with us. During this meeting the topics covered in Samuel’s answers include: the special bond that humans and horses share; the reason he calls Alcyone the heart of the galaxy; the importance of adding “this or something better” to all our manifestation requests; the dietary problem with grains, especially in the U.S.; why free will is necessary; the benefit of speaking one or more languages, especially if one is Spanish; why the upcoming Dragon work on the Mekong River may well be viewed as the first seeding of Sacred Status; and understanding gravity as a force that pushes rather than pulls.
