Samuel tells his own remarkable version of Rudolf the Red-nosed Reindeer and the Christmas story to help illustrate the power of “out-of-the-box thinking” and how it can create amazing changes in our lives and the world. The topics Samuel discusses include: the importance of working together with one mind; why being a bit different doesn’t mean you’re not useful or won’t succeed; why moving out of our comfort zone is one of the miracles of Christmas; how “out-of-the-box thinking” occurs; how to heal the world; and the gifts that come from seeing the world from a different perspective.

During this lively evening of questions and answers, Samuel covers a wide variety of topics including: practical suggestions on how to embody more Shining energy; our progress toward the completion of Sacred Status; steps that can help us become the “Force of Source” in the world; the energetic aspects of the Egyptian temple site at Abydos; how a parent can help their child better hold Shining energy; the effects on us of honey and other complex sugars; the importance of honesty in maintaining a relationship; the power of OneHeart@sacredstus.net; the importance of our maintaining evening activities that feed us (like Toning) in spite of moving off of Daylight Savings Time; and more.

Samuel divides this evening’s teaching into two distinct parts. In section one, he asks the audience to offer tips on how to live a life that reflects love, joy, respect, and kindness on a daily basis. This topic stems from the 2009 Egypt trip where the ship’s staff, being very impressed with the loving energy and openness of the EarthLight group, asked how they could maintain these qualities once the group disembarked. The response creates a listing of practical techniques, and includes Samuel’s explanation of how having a vision will allow them to work. In section two, Samuel talks about how to cope with difficult people we find in our lives from time to time. His teaching includes discussions about letting go of attachment, and questions we can ask ourselves that help us recognize and change our roles in and perceptions of those relationships, and more.

Samuel refers back to his August Sunday-night meeting, “Planting Friends, Harvesting Power,” and expands upon those teachings about friendship. His discussion includes: how to tell you’re not giving yourself the love you need; respect as a vital element in becoming a friend to yourself, and two things it takes to learn respect; veganism, hydration and exercise for activated Guardians; the damaging effect of drama; the spiritual benefit of toning; and how your relationship with self determines who is drawn to you.

Samuel uses the celebration of Lughnassadh as the backdrop for this discussion. Topics covered include: how our lives and the changes we experience relate to the cycles of the year; the importance of focusing on all facets of our life, rather than one small aspect; why we need a vision for each element of our life; three questions whose answers can tell us what we need to grow strong; why it is important to have friends, how they empower us, and tips for making them.

In this meeting Samuel speaks to us about the many forms of death and then takes questions from the audience. His discussion about death includes: why we resist and fear death; how our fear of death keeps us from living; the magic of embracing the daily deaths we face; and the continuation of the personality essence beyond death.

Questions from the audience include these topics: how Guardian’s lives change Source; the personality essence after death; the planet’s shift to the completion of Sacred Status; how and why our physical blueprint can be changed; if leaving a legacy is a worthy goal in life; and diet, including how it affects our spiritual frequency.

In this meeting Samuel discusses ways we can use the current flow of divine/god/masculine energy flowing to our planet now. This important teaching is given to help us make the most of this special month, and also gives us tools to make every month of our lives more powerful. Samuel talks about: the importance of being aware of what we are creating; masculine energy and it’s uses; why “god” is now seen as masculine rather than feminine; our need for balance in every area of our lives; how and why we sabotage ourselves; the importance of focusing on what we are here to be rather than who we are; and generally, how we can make our lives “better and brighter.”

Using Spring as a backdrop, Samuel discusses how we can create rebirth, rather than remain stuck in our “boxes.” His teachings include: the importance of finding balance between adaptability and resistance; the consequences of using drama as a substitute for passion and how drama results from a lack of vision; the power of trusting ourselves; how focusing on the negative rather than seeing the positive causes us to miss the magic and the miracles available through change; the beliefs behind the fears that keep us from rebirth; the power of having a daily vision and goals to reach that vision; and how we are in control of the way we experience change.

During this interactive evening, Samuel’s answers to questions include discussions about: chaos and its impact in our lives; what we can do when someone is not fulfilling their compact; how a Guardian’s actions, words, thoughts and intent affect the Grid; the importance of being and doing the best we can; how our belief systems, thoughts and actions limit us; why and how this can be a great year; the impact of overusing and under-using our resources; diet and nutrition; a god that would allow the types of suffering seen in our world; how each of us can make the world better.
