n this episode, we talk about what accompanies the choice to love. We live in a constant state of the input. Environmentally, there is so much clamoring for our attention. Every second there is traffic, ads, media, and even people trying to get us to notice something. It is overwhelming. Love can get crowded out. Being aware of our emotional surroundings is a critical part of a choice to love. We can tell what others are feeling if we look and listen. So much is communicated through the energy ...

In this episode, we examine the first stone in the pillar of love. Love is indeed a choice. We think of love as a feeling or an attraction. There is no doubt chemistry involved in the attraction between two people. Neurotransmitters and hormones play a role there as well. That is just the beginning. Feelings of all kinds have a shelf life. The neurotransmitters that create feelings we experience are produced by organs in the body and processed in the bloodstream. Feelings come and go. So if lov...

In this episode, we introduce the final pillar in your palace of power. In many ways, the pillar of love is the most powerful of all. Love is the creative force behind all living things, and some even say that God IS love. So what do we know, and how can we learn to access and create with this might force? Love is the true nature of things. When you look at the native state of man, the infant, though we are helpless, we have no bad habits, no negative beliefs, and no barriers to learning. When ...

In this episode, we wrap up all the complexities of the pillar of service. We are created and put here to have a human experience. We have been given the choice of what we will do and who we will become. Choosing to look at others and serve them is one of the fundamental measures of growth. We all yearn to matter. We all want to grow. It is part of our natures. At first, we need to focus on intentionally serving until we train our hearts and minds to love and serve. As we truly develop into mor...

In this episode, Kellan talks about the characteristics needed to get things done, which means serving with our divine gifts. He's talked over a number of episodes about pillars, going through pillars we built which were integrity, language, honesty, truth, etc... and now we have the seventh pillar - service. Putting that into context with all of us creating and living our ultimate life - do you enjoy the life that you created for yourself? Do you love what you have in front of you to do? Serv...

In this episode, we talk about some different ways that we serve. There is a collection at the office for a charity. It is easy to give, and all the other work is done for you. It is convenient and you want to help so you donate some money or something else to help the cause. Those efforts are good and helpful. Sometimes, the organizational work is not done for us and we have to go out of the way to do something. You see a poster asking for help with a project. Then you have to make a call, fin...

In this episode, we talk about things that happen when only you and God know what is going on. You may secretly deliver food to someone in need. You may give anonymously to an organization. You may spend time making something that is given as part of a larger project. All those things are private. The key to developing the pillar of service is the stance of your heart. Why are you serving? Is it because you are “supposed to?” Is everyone at the office participating so you feel weird if you don’...

n this episode, we talk about who sees us when we serve. There are times when we are part of a team doing a project. My wife and I participated in a food drive in our city. We carried bags of a certain color so everyone would know who we were and what we were doing. It was a very public effort. You gather trash on a highway. You participate in a clean-up effort after a storm and you all wear volunteer tee-shirts. Everybody sees. This public work is fine and wonderful. I have found the key for m...

In this episode, we talk about the other side of the service coin. Often I hear talk about giving service of one kind or another. Universally, I also hear people find it difficult to receive. We have a stigma about receiving. Somehow we have the myth that everything is supposed to be done by us alone. A great example is God. He gives us air to breathe, sunrise and sunset daily. Seasons to grow and a space of life to live. We receive these as a right without much thought. Learning to graciously ...

In this episode, we talk about what we do when we serve someone. Perhaps we give a few seconds of time when we bow our heads and utter a prayer for someone in trouble. Perhaps we send a heartfelt message of encouragement. That requires time and some intentional love that we send as energy. Besides that, there are physical things. Perhaps you buy a care package in a grocery store and put it in the basket at the door. Perhaps you participate in a food drive in your neighborhood. Perhaps you volun...

In this episode, we talk about the active nature of service. It is easy to think of holding the door for someone or helping pick up things when someone has an accident. Sending them good vibes at that time is not useful. Understanding the different types of actions is helpful in explaining this idea. Sometimes, we can't do something directly for someone. On social media, you see countless pleas for good vibes or prayers. We may ignore them, we may respond with a thoughtless emoji. How often do ...

In this episode, In this episode, we introduce a key pillar in creating personal power. We usually think of power in terms of making things happen. Service often seems the opposite. We help someone else do or create something. It is often seen as less important and less flashy. Nothing is further from the truth. Service is the most powerful stance we can take toward another human. Real service in the highest and best interest of another is the ultimate form of love. We choose to use our Spiritu...

In this episode, we wrap up the pillar of presence. This has been a multifaceted and exciting journey. Presence is nuanced and powerful. It does not come from big displays of power, but rather from the container of love and looking out for the highest and best service to as many as possible. Even though there are many parts to this, the basics are quite simple. We exercise power to create, to love, and to bless those we serve. We are looking to further the growth of those we love. Learning to c...

In this episode, we explore another side of creating power through your energetic presence. This is the principle of humility. Some might think that humility is being a doormat and letting people run over you. Nothing could be further from the truth. Humility has no element of unhealthy subjugation., On the contrary. Someone who has great power also has no need to demonstrate that power for show. That need comes from insecurity. Someone who brags or otherwise calls attention is usually a person...

In this episode, we look at times when you need maximum presence. Why would you need to turn your presence up to 11? When is it helpful and full of love and service to do that? One answer might be protection. If there are things in a situation that are harmful, you can use your presence to defuse this. Someone unaware of their presence, or not understanding how to use it would be unable to dominate and protect. The first principle is that everything must come from love. You are not there to hav...

In this episode, we will explore an interesting question. Is it possible to control your energetic presence? I was introduced to this when someone asked me if I could “turn down my energy?” I explored the idea and discovered it is not only possible but a superpower that you can use to bless your life. You can expand your energetic influence and contract it when needed. How is this done? We will look at ways to turn it up and down like a dimmer switch on a light. Always be in touch with your goa...
