There is a phrase that lingers in my heart—“God is grand.” (Also known as God is Great) Simple words, yet they point to something so vast, so beyond comprehension, that they feel more like an invitation than a definition. An invitation to wonder. To surrender. To acknowledge that the Divine is moving in ways far beyond what my human mind can grasp.
When I say “God is grand,” I don’t just mean that the Divine is powerful or magnificent, though of course, that is true. It is more than that. It is the unseen hand shaping realities we cannot yet perceive, the silent architect weaving destinies, the intelligence guiding the rise and fall of universes. It is the force that exists beyond time and space, beyond even the stories we tell ourselves about what is real.
In my work, I often speak of the Divine Living Presence—Living Goddess the radiance that moves within us, the breath of creation itself. But this phrase, “God is grand,” feels even bigger and also suggests that God is rich in Mercy. It carries the weight of something that cannot be contained in language. It reminds me that no matter how much I seek to understand, there will always be a mystery beyond the veil, a presence so immense it can only be felt, never fully explained.
There is comfort in that. In knowing that even when I cannot see the movement, the movement is happening. Even when I don’t understand the changes unfolding in my life or in the world, they are part of something greater. I do not need to grasp every detail, because the Divine is always at work—aligning, creating, transforming.
And so, I surrender to the grandness of it all. I let go of needing to comprehend, and instead, I allow myself to be held by the vast, unknowable presence that we call God. The force that is always guiding, always moving, always beyond—and yet somehow, always within.
Because God is grand, God is Great ! And that is more than enough.
We are so consumed with what is going on at present that I thought it fitting to connect with our superpower as human beings, which is our CREATIVITY and our ability to come up with new ideas…
Here are some insights from an article written by – Dr. Marla Gottschalk an Industrial/Organizational Psychologist.
Like most people, I find it intrinsically satisfying to share ideas that can improve how we carry out our vocation and life. But, while this exchange of ideas is a fundamental component of knowledge and life — bringing those ideas to life can prove challenging. Many of us have the opportunity to share ideas; whether in team meetings, online conferences or brainstorming sessions. But, what really happens to all of those promising ideas once collected?
While we place great emphasis on innovation in today’s world — the fact remains that many worthy ideas will never see the light of day. I would venture to say that many organizations have a back-log of great ideas, untouched and undeveloped. Ultimately, we do a good job of generating ideas. But utilizing them effectively… now that can be quite a different story.
Forward progress is just as much about managing the ideas we generate, than any other element in the dynamic. Many worthy ideas fail to become reality, because we fail to utilize a process robust enough to properly select and implement them effectively. In many cases, we are hindered as to how to wade through that mountain of collected ideas. One key problem is the tendency to view idea management as a spontaneously occurring event — when in fact; we need to employ a winning process to ensure success. A few topics to consider:
• Build Trust.
In the cultural scheme, if there isn’t an adequate level of trust and co-operation within a team, it is nearly impossible to evaluate and implement ideas effectively. To begin evaluating ideas, the stage has to be set for an open and honest discussion. If we are wary of bucking authority and voicing all sides of the story, we can land in trouble. Pixar calls this cultural element the “Brain-trust” which is the notion of offering an “unvarnished” opinion to move idea development along effectively.
• Complete An Investigation.
Carefully consider worthy ideas that never reached their full potential — what caused this to happen? Was the idea not properly communicated? Inadequately defined roles in the field? Lack of data concerning value? Use this information strategically, going forward.
• Connect Ideas With Mission & Vision.
An idea floating in the stratosphere can have little meaning. So, offer context, to properly identify the ideas potential. Attempt to connect an idea with desired end-result that aligns with your mission and vision. How can the idea provide a route to a valued goal?
• Narrow The Field.
At some point we have to focus on the ideas that are worthy enough to devote valuable time and resources. For that to occur, you must develop selection criteria relevant to your team and the situation at hand. (For example, ideas that meet an urgent need or those with the greatest potential to impact.) Without these criteria, you cannot move forward. • Don’t look for a single “winner”. The trouble we often encounter with developing ideas is we tend to narrow the focus quite quickly to one path — when it’s likely there is more than one great idea circulating. One idea really does not have to “win”? You can often combine ideas, to enhance product development or service improvement.
• Capture Potential Value.
To drive your idea home, take the time to draft an “action case” which adds dimension and clearly outlines future benefits. This can serve as an integral step in the evaluation process.
• Find An Owner.
Yes, just like people, ideas need guidance and care to develop fully. So identify an owner — and make this choice by aligning with interests and passion. Offer the role to a team member who believes in the idea, and can envision its potential.
• Give Things Time.
Great ideas have the potential to turn the normal state of affairs “upside down” and trigger a powerful emotional response. As discussed here, ideas need to be fully digested before we can act on them effectively. Take this into consideration when delivering ideas and planning their implementation phase. A little patience may be the magic ingredient. What strategies are you utilizing to manage ideas, which in turn will bring them alive to serve our world?
Addiction, Collapse, or the Rise of Light Leadership
Lately, I’ve been reflecting on the nature of power—how it manifests, what drives it, and, most importantly, what happens when it is pursued without alignment to a higher purpose. Power, in its essence, is neither good nor bad; it is simply a force. But like all forces, it takes on the qualities of those who wield it. And here is where the great divide occurs. There are two fundamental paths that power can take—one driven by the hunger of the shadow and the other guided by the wisdom of the light.
The Shadow Path: Power as an Addiction
When power is sought after, it begins to operate like an addiction. The first taste ignites a rush—an intoxicating mix of adrenaline, dopamine, and a sense of invincibility. Those who chase power for personal gain often find themselves in a cycle of ever-increasing hunger, needing more influence, more control, more recognition to sustain the high.
This is the path of shadow leadership, where power is pursued not to serve, but to dominate. It is power hoarded rather than shared, manipulated rather than offered, used as a weapon rather than a gift. On this path, leaders often fall into one of two traps—implosion or explosion.
Implosion occurs when power is unstable—when it lacks true foundation, wisdom, or purpose. A leader driven by ego and insecurity may rely too heavily on others, using manipulation and coercion to hold onto influence. They create confusion, distractions, and drama to maintain their grip, but without genuine cohesion, their authority crumbles. Betrayals, miscalculations, and internal discord lead to collapse. Power, when rooted in instability, eventually turns inward and destroys itself.
Explosion happens when power-hungry individuals gain momentum. If their thirst for dominance is mirrored by those around them, they build an empire of control, pushing forward with brute force. This kind of power grows rapidly, but recklessly, crushing opposition and consolidating influence. Yet power accumulated without balance always reaches a breaking point. When the pressure becomes too great—whether through resistance, rebellion, or the sheer weight of unchecked ambition—it explodes outward, shattering everything in its wake.
Both paths—whether implosion or explosion—end the same way: destruction. Power that is not aligned with wisdom, service, and integrity will either consume itself or be consumed by the forces it underestimated.
Archetypal Power: Shadow vs. Light
Power is always expressed through an archetype—a fundamental pattern of human experience. Every archetype has both a shadow and a light expression, and the way power is wielded determines which side is activated.
Here are a few examples:
THE KING can be benevolent or destructive—a true king serves his people, creating stability, prosperity, and harmony. A tyrant, on the other hand, seeks to control, dominate, and instill fear, ruling through force rather than wisdom.
THE HERO can be altruistic or egotistic—a hero who serves a greater cause becomes a source of inspiration and change. But when the hero fights only for their own glory, they fall into arrogance, making reckless decisions and turning their journey into self-destruction.
THE HEALER can resurrect or victimize—a healer aligned with light restores and empowers. But a healer in shadow may manipulate pain, fostering dependency rather than healing, keeping others wounded to maintain control.
This duality exists in all archetypes. The path one chooses determines whether their power contributes to evolution or collapse.
The Light Path: Power as Sacred Responsiblity
There is another way. Power, when aligned with wisdom, compassion, and a higher purpose, does not implode or explode—it expands. It moves through those who recognize that true leadership is not about control, but about a deeper responsiblity.
This is Light Leadership—where power is not a drug, but a calling. It is power displayed in service of something greater than the self, guided by integrity, humility, and a deep connection to ones purpose.
Power aligned with divine wisdom is stable. It does not need to manipulate, because it inspires. It does not need to control, because it empowers. Those who walk this path are not afraid of losing power, because they understand that true power flows, rather than stagnates.
Power rooted in service creates rather than consumes. Light Leadership does not demand submission but invites participation. It seeks to uplift rather than oppress. It does not hoard power but distributes it, ensuring that influence is used for the benefit of all rather than the gain of one.
The difference between shadow and light leadership is not in the amount of power held, but in the intent behind it.
Shadow leadership sees power as possession. It must be controlled, guarded, and wielded to serve the self.
Light leadership sees power as a conduit. It flows through, meant to be shared, expressed, and used for the healing and evolution of the whole.
The Choice: Feeding the Void or Expanding the Light
At the core of all power is a question: What is it serving?
Shadow power serves emptiness—a void that can never be filled, no matter how much influence, wealth, or control is accumulated. This is why those who pursue power for themselves are never satisfied. They devour, but are never full.
Light power serves truth. It does not seek validation, because it is already whole. It does not need to dominate, because it understands that true power does not come from force, but from alignment with something greater.
We each have a choice in how we display power. Will we take the path of addiction, collapse, and destruction? Or will we rise, not for ourselves, but for the world?
The greatest leaders are not those who take power, but those who become vessels for it. They lead not with control, but with clarity. They do not seek to be worshiped, but to uplift. They do not hoard influence, but ignite it in others.
This is the path of Light Leadership. And in a world on the brink of transformation, it is the only power that will last.

Do you sit down on a regular basis and get crystal clear on these two questions
“What is my VISION, What is my PURPOSE?”
We suffer because there is a lack of resonance or alignment!
What I mean is that in order to be successful, happy, and passionate about your vocation or vision, you need 3 layers of alignment… which Iʼll share with you below.
1. What You Are Doing – You have to feel really good about yourself and what your business is about. Do you feel like itʼs making a difference in the world? Do you enjoy what you do? Are you adding value? If you would rather be talking about transformation, but instead youʼre stuck talking about sales – you will suffer.
2. How You Are Doing It – The way you demonstrate your leadership has to be congruent with your lifestyle and values. If you see yourself as a spiritual person and yet you donʼt have any time to practice the tools that keep you in that flow of energy – this will cause you to suffer. If you are using tactics or methods that are out of integrity – this will cause you to suffer. If you are making decisions from a “that’ll do” place – this to will cause you to suffer. The way in which you run and operate your business must be in alignment with your truth.
3. Who You Are Doing It With – Are the people you serve and the people on your team the type of people you truly want to help? Iʼve come to realise this is one of the biggest breakdowns in the alignment equation. If your business is built around serving a tribe (customers) that you actually donʼt want, because they complain, donʼt take responsibility, or are out of integrity, or the people on your team are not congruent with the principles of the over all vision – you will suffer.
Truth is, when the people factor is out of alignment with whatʼs true for your vision and vocation – you will definitely suffer.
And before we move on, letʼs clear something up.
Being in alignment doesnʼt mean that you wonʼt experience conflict, challenges, or obstacles. It simply means that you will FEEL more qualified, ready, and prepared to handle them when they arise.
SO, hereʼs what you can do to make the necessary changes to your life and vocation.
Start by asking yourself if you have alignment in these three areas. If the answer is yes, you are moving in the right direction. If the answer is no, understand that you may suffer a little until a change is made (and the only way to stop the suffering is to create alignment).
So do whatever it takes to let go, correct and transform. Then find the people, circumstances and pathways where and who you can be congruent with. Look for mentors and teachers who can show you the way.
I have come to see (over and over again) that when you experience whatʼs possible by being in the presence of someone who is a few steps ahead… you gain the strength and focus to change FASTER!
Itʼs not so much about the knowledge (though that is useful), itʼs more about trusting in yourself and trusting that true alignment/synergy is indeed possible, because you have actually experienced it first-hand.
Donʼt sit in your suffering.
If something needs to change, do it now.
You will never be fully prepared.
Circumstances will never be perfect.
Youʼre OK… Itʼs time… Start now.

Today I am talking about our eternal connection to the Divine…
At the core of all existence burns an eternal flame—the living, breathing essence of divine love. This flame is a precise and divine portion of the Christos Sophia, the pure and potent spirit, from the sacred union of the Divine Living Presence and the Living Goddess that resides within us. It is the holy light placed in our hearts at the inception of our being, a celestial inheritance that links us eternally to Source.
The Archetype of the Christos Sophia is the breath of God and the womb of the Goddess.
It is the sacred alchemy of Spirit and Matter, Heaven and Earth, Masculine and Feminine. The force that births creation, sustains life, and calls us home to our original divine nature. When we align with this presence, we awaken the divine intelligence within us, allowing love to flow freely and truth to shine brightly.
But in this world, the heart has been the primary target of distortion. It has been wounded, manipulated, and veiled under layers of pain, illusion, and fear. The human heart is meant to be the divine throne and altar of Christos Sophia, but has been forced into survival mode, enslaved by lower impulses, and disconnected from its true creative power. We see this reflected in the fragmentation of love, the distortion of sexuality, and the rampant misuse of life force energy.
Yet no matter how deep the illusion runs, the eternal flame of the Christos Sophia remains unextinguished. No force, no deception, no amount of suffering can erase the divine code imprinted within our being—it only waits for us to remember.
Our Heart is the Altar of the Divine
The path of Christos Sophia is the path of the heart. This is not a sentimental love, nor is it an emotional reaction to the world—it is a sacred intelligence, an eternal knowing that transcends mind and matter alike. The heart is the divine instrument through which the holy presence of Christos Sophia enters the world. It is the portal through which we experience the infinite wellspring of divine love that seeks to restore all things to their highest order.
The hungry fearful world has led humanity away from this truth. We have been conditioned to believe that love is external, that it must be earned, searched for, or fought over. We have been led to believe that our worth is defined by how we appear, what we acquire, and how others perceive us. These distortions have fractured the human soul, leading many into cycles of emptiness, longing, and attachment.
In reality, the source of love is always within us. The sacred flame of Christos Sophia dwells in our hearts, waiting to be recognized, honoured, and activated. When we turn inward, when we silence the noise of the external world and listen to the divine whisper within, we awaken to the truth of who we are.
We remember that we were never separate from love. ~ We were never abandoned ~ We have always carried the infinite, radiant presence of Holy Oneness within us.
The Divine Union: Awakening To Your Eternal Flame
To embody Christos Sophia is to bring divine love and light into action. It is to allow this sacred presence to illuminate your choices, relationships, and creations. When the heart is fully awakened, it becomes a portal of divine wisdom, a sacred vessel through which the Holy Spirit and the Living Goddess pour love and light into the world.
This sacred presence has been deliberately obscured through the distortion of love and sexuality. Many have been led to believe that love is merely a fleeting desire, a pursuit of pleasure, or a way to escape loneliness. But true love is the highest alchemy, its the merging of divine forces within you. It is through the sacred fire of divine union—both within yourself and in your partnerships—that you restore balance, heal the rift between the masculine and feminine, and reclaim the lost wisdom of your Soul.
If you are reading this you are more than likely among the many souls who have incarnated at this time to heal the deep wounds of separation andillusion. Your Soul carries the codes of divine love and light, the sacred remembrance of the original blueprint. You have walked through the depths of the Shadow Side, enduring pain, grief, betrayal, and loss—not as punishment, but as a sacred initiation into divine mastery.
You and others souls, though tested, are now emerging, reborn in the radiant wisdom of the Christos Sophia.
And now, the time has come for the final clearing, the sacred return to the original divine love and light.
Twelve Plus One: The Sacred Pattern of Regeneration
The alchemy of Christos Sophia follows the pattern of Twelve Plus One. This is the sacred sequence that governs the cycles of birth, death and rebirth, the completion of an age, and the initiation into a higher order of being.
Twelve represents divine order—the twelve months, twelve archetypes, twelve levels of consciousness, twelve tribes, twelve gates of transformation.
The One is the divine presence at the centre that brings completion—the Holy Living Flame, the Christed Light, and the Sacred Feminine in union with the Logos.
Together, Twelve Plus One reveals the pattern of spiritual resurrection, the restoration of the eternal heart-wisdom of the Christos Sophia. Those who awaken to this divine pattern will unlock the codes of renewal, stepping into their highest divine purpose as co-creators of the new Earth.
Within this holy pattern, the Sacred Spiral and the Seed of the Soul become one living geometry, the inner map of remembrance encoded into every being. The Sacred Spiral carries the momentum of creation itself, the ever-unfolding ascent through cycles of learning, purification, and expansion. It draws us upward and inward at once, guiding us back to the centre where truth resides.
At that centre lies the Seed of the Soul, you, the indestructible divine spark containing the original blueprint of our Christos Sophia nature. As the spiral awakens within us, it activates this seed, stirring the ancient memory of who we were before distortion and who we are destined to become beyond it. In the union of the Spiral and the Seed, Twelve Plus One becomes not only a cosmic pattern but a living initiation, an inner resurrection through which the soul breaks open, blossoms, and returns to its eternal radiance.
The Portal of Divine Love: Rebirthing the Sacred Union
We are standing at the threshold of a great rebirth and return. The ancient wisdom is rising, the veils are thinning, and the Divine Mother’s love is pouring onto the Earth. The presence of Christos Sophia is calling her children home—to the heart, to love, to truth.
Each of us carries the sacred key to this awakening. The portal of divine love is not in the sky, nor in some distant paradise—it is within us. It is the heart, the holy chalice through which the Divine Father and Divine Mother merge, birthing the Solar Child of Light into this world.
This is the Sacred Marriage, the divine union of spirit and matter, the rebirth of humanity as the radiant Children of Light.
And now, the great call has been sent out. Will we listen? Will we remember? Will we awaken to the flame that has never gone out?
The heart of Christos Sophia beats within us all. The eternal flame is forever waiting. And now is the time for it to burn bright and long.

If you are inspired by what you’ve read?
You can dive deeper into your transformation by exploring my coaching sessions, workshops, and retreats. Let’s co-create a future where you step fully into your Souls Purpose.
Today I am talking about the motivation behind our desires in life.
We often chase desires without truly understanding the deeper “why” behind them. We say, “I want money,” “I want a better job,” or “I want to be successful.” But why? What purpose lies beneath these desires? What is calling you forward, and how does it align with your soul and God’s divine plan for your life?
Desire, at its core, is a compass pointing toward your purpose. It is the spark of possibility, a whisper of what could be. But without a heartfelt reason, your WHY, behind your desires, you can lose momentum, become distracted, or find yourself chasing hollow goals that leave you unfulfilled. To keep moving forward on your path, you must ask yourself: What is the purpose of my desire?
Asking the Right Questions
For example, when you say, “I want money,” it’s not enough to stop there. The desire for money isn’t the end goal—it’s simply a means to something deeper. So ask yourself:
Why do I want money?
What will it provide for me?
What will it allow me to create, experience, or give?
How does it align with the life I’m being called to live?
If your answer is rooted in fear or ego—”I want money so people will respect me”—it may be time to pause and reflect. True alignment comes when your desires are connected to something greater, something sacred. Perhaps you want financial freedom so you can spend more time with loved ones, contribute to causes you care about, or create something meaningful that leaves a legacy.
This deeper “why” anchors your purpose and gives you strength to keep moving forward, even when challenges arise.
Your Purpose is Bigger Than You
The greatest desires are not just about you. They are about how your attributes, unique gifts, passions, and dreams contribute to the world. The Creator, Great Spirit, God, The Divine Living Presence – what ever you choose to call your divine source, has a plan for you, which is always connected to love, growth, and service. It’s about how you can embody your highest self and fulfill your divine potential—not for your own glory, but for the upliftment of all.
So, ask yourself:
How does my desire align with the highest good?
How can I serve others through my purpose?
What does the Creator want to express through me?
When your desires align with God’s plan, they feel expansive, inspired, and infused with grace. You become a vessel for something greater, and the universe begins to conspire in your favour.
Strategies to Keep Moving Forward on Your Purpose
Anchor Your “Why” Write down the deeper reason behind your desire and revisit it daily. This keeps you connected to your purpose and reminds you why you started in the first place.
Visualize Your Higher Calling Take time to meditate or journal about your purpose as if it’s already unfolding. Imagine how it feels to live in alignment with your desires and Great Spirit’s plan. This strengthens your connection to your vision and fuels your motivation.
Surrender and Trust Your purpose is a partnership with the divine. Surrender the need to control every detail, and trust that God’s timing is perfect. When things feel uncertain, lean into faith. Know that what’s meant for you will find its way.
Serve Along the Way Purpose is not a destination—it’s a way of being. Look for ways to serve others, even in small ways, as you move toward your desires. This creates momentum and aligns you with the abundant flow of The Divine Living Presence.
Surround Yourself with Soulful Support Share your journey with people who uplift and inspire you. Community keeps you grounded and provides encouragement when the road feels difficult.
Celebrate Progress Every small step forward is sacred. Celebrate your wins, no matter how small, and honor the progress you’re making toward your higher purpose. Gratitude magnifies blessings.
You Are Meant for More
Remember, your desires are not random. They are whispers from your soul, guiding you toward the life you were created to live. When you align your desires with God’s plan, you step into a flow of grace, joy, and abundance that transcends the material world.
So, ask yourself today: What is the purpose of my desire? And how can I honour that purpose with love, faith, and unwavering trust in the divine plan?
The world needs you—your gifts, your light, your unique purpose. Keep moving forward, one inspired step at a time. The journey is as sacred as the destination.
