I began my journey in 1980, believing that I have been given the purpose from within and above of guiding others to the place of finding the meaning and purpose of life. Since that beginning, for over 30 years I and Terri, my Bride of 36+ years, have been actively involved in helping others as a Pastor, Counselor, and Educator through serving in Church Ministry, in Private and Public School Educat
ion and Counseling. In addition I have served as Care-Coordinator and as a Group Counselor in an Inpatient Psychiatric Hospital Setting. While serving in the areas above I came to the understanding that the answers to all of our life's problems are found within (which is most often the last place human beings look) and can be shown to us within by the practice of “being still". All too often we look for the answers to life’s questions and solutions to our individual and relationship problems on the outside, falsely believing that only “the professionals” such as Pastors, Psychiatrists, Educators, Doctors and even Politicians, whom we often view as the ultimate "authorities" for us. Our Father & Creator is our true Spiritual Authority within, and within is where all must be willing to go. While some temporary and emergency help maybe needed, and can sometimes be provided to help address symptoms through the above "professionals", (and to whom we are grateful), the “ultimate authority” for you and me and the needed answers to the root causes of all of our individual and relationship problems can only be found within and above. This FREEDOM within occurs continually throughout life as we sincerely seek, find, receive & and are happy to be shown THE TRUTH within; meaning without resenting THE TRUTH that we are shown. A Spiritually Effective and Powerful Spiritual Tool which our Creator brought across our paths in 1996 is a Free & Simple Spiritual Meditation Exercise called “BE STILL” by Roy Masters. Since 1996, I, Terri & some of our adult children, their spouses and even some of our Grandchildren have began to practice daily
THE SPIRITUAL EXERCISE OF BEING STILL! In Psalms 46:10, we are exhorted to “Be still and know that I am God.. .” (not me, nor you, not anyone but only YAHWEH/JEHOVAH is the True & Living God). Practicing “stillness” within is vital to our Spiritual, Psychological, and Physical well being and growth & will greatly help us in so many areas. I have used this simple 7 Minute Spiritual Meditation as a Pastoral Counselor, Public and Private School Counselor as well as during Group and Individual Counseling in an Inpatient Mental Heath Hospital . It has been used to help over 650,000 Veterans through Patriot Outreach (founded by Colonel Monaco) in dealing with PSTSD, along with helping many others with various needs.
