Would You Rather Take a Rocket or Walk?

My very first post on this blog started like this: This blog was supposed to be called "My Spiritual Journey as an Unconditional Universal Servant," but that was too long for this site. It really should be called "My Spiritual Journey to Unconditional Universal Service with Master Zhi Gang Sha," but that's way too long!

You could also call this blog “My Journey to Total GOLD” (gratitude, obedience, loyalty and devotion—to the Divine) or “My Journey to Divine Faithfulness.” In earlier posts, I also shared a little about how I began my spiritual journey—and also my recognition that that beginning on April 8, 2000 was the most important day in my spiritual life. It would be hard to say otherwise because I didn’t have a conscious spiritual life before that day, the day I met my most beloved spiritual father, Dr. and Master Zhi Gang Sha. But actually, it wasn’t even until many years after that greatest of spiritual birthdays (up to that point in my life) that I finally was on a fully conscious spiritual journey.

In the last decade, I’ve often felt like I’ve been plodding along on my spiritual journey, as though I were rising from a long, deep sleep. It’s been a very gradual process of spiritual awakening—and not without pain and other challenges. After all, sleep is usually a warm and comfortable state of blissful un-consciousness. Having bright spiritual light suddenly “invading” that comfort zone created all kinds of responses in my heart and, especially, my mind.

Meanwhile, I saw many others zooming along on their spiritual paths—on a rocket to Heaven. I admired all of them for their commitment and abilities. They were all great, if seemingly unattainable, examples for me and their success was completely deserved. As for me, I felt like I was walking or crawling at best—and sometimes in the wrong direction! Would you rather take a rocket or walk? Let me just say that after nearly ten years, I had an “aha!” moment: I realize that I have been on a rocket!

Surprised? Well, I was! But it’s true! More on this to come …

New paperback edition of "Soul Wisdom"

Because I am one of the editors of this book, I have had the pleasure and the privilege - and the unfair advantage - of reading it many times. Each time I read it, I gain new insights and deeper understanding. Master Sha's teachings in this book are simple and practical, amazingly effective, endlessly deep and profoundly transformative. This book helped my soul to sing. When I heard my soul song for the first time, I was incredibly moved by the joy and the love that it expressed. I knew that I had a happy soul, but this was audible confirmation of that knowing. It confirmed that I could do no better than to align with my soul and its purpose. It strengthened that alignment tremendously - and instantly. I sincerely hope that you read this book many times yourself, to eliminate my "unfair advantage." Every time you do, I know that you will benefit greatly, as I have. This book is a treasure that must reach as many people - and as many souls - as possible. The just-released paperback edition expands and improves on the hardcover original (published in June 2007) in significant ways - but I'll leave the joy of discovering that to you!

A great new spiritual film: Soul Masters

I'd like to digress a little by telling you about a new documentary film entitled "Soul Masters: Dr. Guo and Dr. Sha." Dr. and Master Zhi Chen Guo is Master Sha's most beloved spiritual father. In China, Master Guo is known as "the Master who can cure the incurable."

This heart-touching film gives you a window into the most amazing possibilities for healing and transformation. It is a preview of Heaven on Earth. As a student of Master Sha and Master Guo for more than eight years, I have been privileged to witness the “miracles” that come through their healing channels and healing techniques almost every day. I am really thrilled that many more people can witness these miracles now, which include recovery from pancreatic and other types of cancer, and from chronic pain and immobility due to arthritis and injury.

Even more, this film will tell many, many people that these experiences are available to each of them. I hope you will be one of these people. But don't take my word for it. You can read reviews on Amazon.com. You can also watch a trailer for the film at http://www.soulmastersmovie.com/ and read what Dr. Norman Shealy and Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith said about it. If you don't want to purchase a DVD of the film, you can watch it through online streaming for just a few dollars.

As the police chief who received one of the many remarkable healings in the film said near the end, “This is real.” Heaven on Earth can be real. If we join hearts and souls together, Heaven on Earth will be real.

With love and gratitude,

How I Began My Spiritual Journey

I am an enlightened soul.

That is a simple statement. It is a most remarkable statement for me to make. Even more remarkable is the journey that has led me to soul enlightenment. I am honored to share a little of this journey with you.

I met Dr. Sha (as I first knew him; it would some time before I truly understood and acknowledged him as Master Sha) on April 8, 2000. This is a date I will never forget, for it is one of the most important days in my physical life, and it was the most important day in my spiritual life. Dr. Sha was giving a talk at the Whole Life Expo in San Francisco. On my own, I would have never attended this gathering and exhibition of alternative, new age and spiritual practitioners, but my beloved wife Mimi saw a brochure for the Expo that featured Dr. Sha’s talk and she really wanted to go (I'll explain why in my next post). As for me, I was a very “successful” person in the physical and material world, but not a spiritual person at all. Not that I was a bad person, but my occupations and preoccupations where mainly with success in the physical realms. I was always blessed with good health. I hadn’t even seen a doctor for twenty years, so why would I be interested in alternative healers? At age 50, my primary goal was to retire by age 55 so that I could—well, I guess so that I could enjoy retirement—nothing more.

To be continued . . .

Greetings from My Heart and Soul

This blog was supposed to be called "My Spiritual Journey as an Unconditional Universal Servant," but that was too long for this site. It really should be called "My Spiritual Journey to Unconditional Universal Service with Master Zhi Gang Sha," but that's way too long! Let me explain why this long title is the correct title.


First, to call myself an Unconditional Universal Servant would be quite an exaggeration, but I am definitely on my spiritual journey to become one. You are on or interested in your spiritual journey, but you may not really know what "unconditional universal service" is. You may not have a clue why it should matter to you and your spiritual journey. I hope this blog will shed some light for you. In fact, I will share my light and love with you through this blog. I hope it will open your mind and your heart to the possibility of becoming an unconditional universal servant yourself.


Second, there is no way I would be on this journey were it not for my most beloved spiritual teacher and master, Dr. and Master Zhi Gang Sha. Whatever progress I have made on my journey, whatever insights I can share to inspire and assist you and to help you avoid the mistakes I've made, whatever love and light you can receive from me through this blog - all credit goes to Master Sha. He is the best example of an Unconditional Universal Servant I know.


And so, this blog is about Master Sha as much as it is about me. My true healing and most profound transformation began the day I met him. My transformation continues each and every day. Whatever I have accomplished so far on my spiritual journey is the direct result of Master Sha's unconditional universal service.


From my heart and soul, I am delighted and honored to share a little of Master Sha with you through this blog.
