We reflected on the many “Goliaths” in our world—political injustice, reckless behavior, collective fear—and how deeply they can trouble our hearts. Yet we were reminded that we are David, guided by love, called to meet fear, anger, and sadness with radical compassion for ourselves and others, tending the whole being—spirit, soul, and body—as we help create heaven on earth. 

In this talk, we remember that we “make our own world” by choosing our attitudes, returning to love, and catching ourselves gently when ego or fear starts to pull us down. We are invited to follow the Christ consciousness—divine love within us—finding coherence in our hearts through prayer, breath, and awareness so that we become light and love in a divided world. As we center in presence, strength, and life, we trust that our small, steady choices in love raise the vibration and help heal us all. 

In this talk, we’re reminded that we are the light of the world—not our thoughts or our fears, but the loving awareness that notices them—and that we can “enter Zen from there” in any moment by returning to presence, breath, and stillness. We explore how so-called evil is really the absence of awareness of that inner light, and how choosing love, responsibility, and gratitude—even amid chaos and injustice—helps heal us and lifts the consciousness of the world.

In this talk, we explore how to stay rooted in peace and oneness with God even while facing chaos, violence, and the constant pull of ego and fear. We reflect on how we’ve been “domesticated” by punishment, reward, and control, and we’re invited to gently take our power back by becoming still, remembering our divine nature, and living as courageous, authentic peacemakers—moment by moment, one breath at a time.
