I am very excited to announce that I will be teaching STANDING IN THE LIGHT® Level 1 Classes in Buena Vista over two weekends Sept 26 / 27 and Oct 3 /4 this Fall. Jamie Hagen is graciously hosting me in her home. Each class is $70 or $260 for the full series. The descriptions of each class is below or you can find more information at www.iamstandinginthelight.com. Call or email for more information. 970-472-2029 or lori@iamstandinginthelight.com
SITL Level 1: The Foundation
Ending duality means coming back into the experience of Oneness. Oneness is a state of being, an experience, not words on a sheet of paper. However, understanding why we entered into the Experiment, how it operates and what we have learned is helpful to the lower-self in understanding what we need to do to come back into a state of Oneness.
SITL Level I teaches the foundational principles of Oneness, how to connect clearly to one’s highest level of guidance (one’s Soul/ God-Self) and how to use 4th and 5th dimensional principles and techniques for manifesting Oneness and one’s life vision, one’s Soul’s Vision.
Part I: Ending the Experiment in Duality. Learn the founding principles that will take one to Ascension no matter what program one chooses to follow. Unity and Oneness are for all.
Part II: Channeling. There is NO higher source of guidance than one’s own Higher Self/Soul/God/Goddess Within. Learn how to clearly connect and, most importantly, how to validate the information.
Part III: The 5th Dimensional Process of Manifesting. The energies of December 16, 1994 have changed the process by which humankind can bring their Souls’ desires into form. Learn the 5th dimensional process of manifesting and move more quickly into creating the Soul’s vision.
Part IV: Clear Blocks and Receive the Soul’s Vision. One cannot manifest without a clear intention and a clear vision. Learn to clear blocks to being fully aligned with the Higher Self/Soul to clearly receive and manifest the Soul’s vision/goal (versus your Lower-Self’s vision) in any area of life.

This Year’s Harvest: The Perseverance of Planting Seeds
All around the world this year, we have seen crazy weather
patterns. From the last of Boston’s 110.6 inches of snow finally melting from
their “snow farm” on July 14 to record breaking heat in Berlin, Germany of 102
degrees Fahrenheit this August, the conditions are hard to predict. My little
neck of the woods was no different in its oddity this year. Pat and I live
north of Fort Collins, Colorado, and have a ¼ acre vegetable garden and a few
fruit trees. (The fruit trees didn’t make it through the bizarre November 2014
weather of 14 degrees below, but that is a topic for another day.) It is the
spring rains of 2015 that I am not sure anyone in this arid climate would have
expected.
Following the seed company recommendations, Pat planted our
usual crops that are Northern Colorado friendly. And then came the spring
rains. At first we thought, “how wonderful, we won’t have to water.” But the
saying “too much of a good thing” does come to mind. The seeds didn’t sprout.
If you dug down a little, you would see that the seeds were moldy. So – Pat
replanted most of the garden. And then more rain came. Anyone living in
Northern Colorado might have had thoughts regarding building an arc as much as
building a green house.
Again, the seeds were not sprouting. By now, it is getting to be
pretty far into the growing season. I thought maybe it was time to rely on
purchasing our produce for the year. But, Pat had perseverance on his mind. He
bought starter plants for crops we usually can start from seeds and bought more
tomato plants and tried one more time. Eureka. His perseverance paid off.
As for the division of labor for our garden, Pat does most of
the heavy lifting, planting, weeding and irrigating of our garden. My
inclinations and skills lean more toward the harvesting and cooking, pickling,
and freezing of breads and soups from the bounty, reminiscent of my Grandmother
in Kansas except that she and Grandpa relied on the produce more than those of
us with a King Soopers only 7 minutes away.
It is now August and our harvest has been so abundant that I
have had to learn 4 new soup recipes, a new bread recipe and how to pickle
cucumbers in our deep freeze. And we still have enough to share with friends
and neighbors.
I believe the lesson this is teaching me this year, is to not
allow one or even two setbacks to change what you know to be the path or goal
for yourself. Sure, in the short run, abandoning the garden after the second
seed planting would have made less work for us, but what other benefits would
we have missed out on? Sharing with friends, eating really good zucchini bread,
having soups already prepared for a cold winter day, to name a few. What about
missing out of the self-reliance of gardening, the truly “getting back to
nature” that so many of us say we want and the ultimate in local sourcing? I
really enjoy the surprise gift like quality of seeing what is ready to be
picked and the seemingly miracle of how fast and big zucchini grow!
When we are trying to create other projects in our lives,
whether it is a more peaceful and serene inner self or writing a book or
designing a new class, we need to remember the perseverance of seed planting.
It may take more attempts to get yourself in the right frame of mind, or the
right energetic level than you had originally hope for, but that doesn’t mean
you aren’t on the right track. If there is frustration along the way, don’t
focus on the failed attempts, focus on the harvest, the vision, the goal to
keep yourself motivated. Dory from Disney’s Finding Nemo probably said it best. “Just keep
swimming. Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming. What do we do? We swim,
swim.” This is the Power of Perseverance.
