This Week’s Quotation:
I am inviting you to do this: If God’s grace has changed your life, recall the difference that that made for you. And live this day and every day of your life, from this day forward, with that passion. Give what you were given, with the same gratitude and the same joy with which you received it, to every person you meet. Make it available, without imposition. Act on that passion every day of your life, and embody it in your presence to the simplest of your interactions with other people.
Because what makes the difference in this world is the presence of that grace, fully embodied in a person. So whatever you are about, and whatever the challenges and the ups and downs of a given day or week or year might happen to be within that, welcome the grace of God. Make it possible for others to feel and even begin to reflect the grace you are radiating.

The Grace of God
Spiritual Teacher, Workshop Leader
Experiencing the Grace of God is like an oasis in the desert that’s not a mirage. The realness of peace, comfort, and potential quenches the thirst of a person lost in the desert of disconnection and frustration.
The Grace of God can manifest itself in infinite ways to help fulfill our desires. Everyone wants more of something in their experience, even if only temporarily. But let us not mistake the manifestation as the source of the something that shows up.
Our external reality is the world of effects, and our internal reality is the world of cause. When we orient and respond to our connection to God through our internal reality and invoke the experience of grace, joy, gratitude, and passion, we end up expressing that through our living in the world. When we orient and respond to our connection to God through the external reality and the many manifestations that happen in life, the outer world is seen as the causal source of our experience. We end up unsuccessfully trying to manipulate the world of effects in an attempt to cause different effects.
Let us increase our ability to attune inward to our connection with a stable constant reality, knowing that the Grace of God is holding all the outworking of events, whether we see it or not. Let us be the portal for the divine love of the Creator, holding all of Creation, to be known in this world through human expression. Because you are here. I am here. We are here and we are one.
What does it mean to become a sun?
Every human being is already a sun on the inside—a being of intense love and light. The difference is that some people have the vision and courage to become a sun on the outside. This difference is our human destiny.

Yes. So well put, Gary. And I am also 100% behind you in your workshops and events. I also highly recommend the two books below. YOU GO, GARY! Aloha from Oahu, Tom C.
Yes!! – We are here and we are one.
This time would seem to be The Time for us to find our way to this truth – “We are here and we are one”.
Thank you Gary!!!
We have likely all found ourselves wandering alone in the desert, with the sun burning blisters into our exposed skin…and then freezing cold in the night. Everything happening to the extreme….
When we tune in to the “Constant Reality,” as you say, suddenly everything looks different! Because it IS different.
Thank you for these wonderful reminders!
This is brilliant, I so love the statement, “Outside is effect, and inside is cause,” That is exceptionally helpful! Grateful for all your teachings, and the incredible teachers of the Emissaries!
Just to be in your presence, Gary, which is my frequent experience, conveys the grace of God to me and invites me to rise out of control by effects to embrace the government of Cause. You are a true embodiment of your words: “Let us be the portal for the divine love of the Creator, holding all of Creation, to be known in this world through human expression.”
I know Grace! I am grateful when the Grace of God touches my life in the little ways & I am in total awe & wonderment when Grace shifts my life in big transformational ways. Through gratitude, forgiveness & compassion I build a foundation for the flow of the Divine to bless my life & living. Today, I was given the beautiful opportunity to share in #7 of Primal Spirituality, Grace. The effective & efficient process as well as the wisdom teachings offered by the facilitators was phenomenal. My life is blessed in receiving an upleveling of Grace! which brings greater wholeness & integration into my physical expression. My heart is open to a new awareness of joy & passion. Gary thankyou for setting the intention & focus of the Grace we share & offer to all.
Beautiful words thankyou. Grace Full
