THE BASICS

• The School is appropriate for both "beginners" and those who think of themselves as "advanced." 
•  You will receive one or two main lessons along with optional homework each month. You can go as deep as you decide to go. You will also receive daily inspirational messages in your email. Your monthly lessons are on a special website "schoolroom" that only you can access and print out. The more that you put into The School, the more you will receive.
• You will have access to an additional site: The Open Classroom where you may interact with your classmates, ask questions, receive answers, and share your spiritual path.
• You will find that you are not alone in your quest for truth and your longing to live peacefully in this very strange world!

JOURNEY OF THE HEART

Usually we go to school to acquire something we don't already have. This School isn't like that. You attend this School to access what you already have within you. This is a school of the heart.  

The journey of the heart is a journey of acquiring not more, but less. Acquiring less has nothing to do with material possessions, name, or fame. We do not take the inner journey to please the ego that always wants more of everything, but for the heart that IS everything. 

As the Italian poet Antonio Porchia reminds us, "In a full heart there is room for everything, and in an empty heart there is room for nothing." 

The outer journey is traveled with the mind. Traveling with the mind means learning a lot of useless things that are not true anyway and then living as though they are. Things of the mind pass away with time. Wisdom is older than time. 

 

The wisdom of the heart cannot be learned; it can only be revealed.

This wisdom of the heart arises as a deep inner knowing; a feeling; a conviction that cannot be disputed.
  

The School awakens the Wisdom already within you.

HEAL THE DIS-EASE OF EGO!

The School connects you with your deepest spiritual essence. The lessons are written in a simple, lyrical style that is easy to follow. The School is accessible to everyone, no matter who you are or what your religion or spiritual path may be.
 

The School challenges you to go to the deepest integrity and wisdom within yourself. In spite of the fear prevalent in the world today, there is enough! It is vital that we align ourselves with love, not fear. What do Biblical angels say when they first appear to humans? "Fear not!"
 

While each of you may have a different idea of what happiness means to you, the longing at the heart of all longing is to heal the pain of separation (from God, your true nature, Divine Mother, Truth) to come into wholeness (holiness). This is the only true and lasting happiness. This is living with heart connected to divine intelligence. 

Although you must enroll to receive the full impact and value of The School, the positive, affirming messages on my official website: theclearandsimpleway.com are offered freely to everyone.

THE PRESENT MOMENT

     In the present moment of the eternal now, we are always connected to Intuition. Intuition is not different from Divine Guidance. This guidance is called by many names: God, Truth, Higher Power, Divine Mother, Angels. The name we use is not so important. What matters is that we live vitally in the here and now, enthusiastically doing what is ours to do, with love, peace, and compassion for all beings.

PEACE AND FULFILLMENT

Being happy means living in peace and fulfillment NOW, as you are, as things are, not waiting for "when" or "if". Too often we live in the future waiting for "our ship to come in." We will be happy "when". . . when we get married, get divorced, get a promotion, pay off our bills, sail around the world, get a college degree, get a job, get a face lift, lose ten pounds . . . and the list goes on . . .

Peace is not a waiting game.

Peace comes when we stop struggling to change the things that are not ours to change. When we give up futile struggle, we can be more effective in the world. We can change what is ours to change and leave the rest to a Higher Power. With this comes immense relief. We come out of fruitless struggle and into fruitful peace.

TRUTH IS WITHIN YOU

Spiritual teachings wake up the Truth within you. They do not create that Truth! Truth is not inherent in anything or anyone outside you. It exists within you.

"The wisdom of the heart cannot be learned, it can only be revealed!"-The Angels

 "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.-King Solomon -Proverbs 4:5-9

"This above all: to thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man."-Shakespeare

The School reveals the Truth within you. It connects you with your innate spiritual essence. When you commit to living from inner Truth, you begin to transform within. Inner transformation leads to a happier life at all levels.  

Most people believe that outer transformation will make them happy, yet people transform outside all the time without necessarily becoming any happier. In our School, we are not interested in outer change, which is bound to change again. We are not interested in change that is superficial and temporary. We are interested in transformation that occurs at a place deeper than the mind can reach--a place where the mind is stunned into silence. Sometimes when the mind is stunned into silence, it happens so elegantly the mind does not even know it has happened. The ego may go its merry way, believing everything is the same, unaware that a piece of its armor has dissolved. This is transformation at its deepest level.

When we live primarily from the fear in our mind, we live disconnected from the love in our heart. When we are disconnected from our own heart, we feel empty and alone, so we act in ways that increase our sense of fear and isolation. We may say or do the very things that reinforce our false beliefs. We may alienate friends and loved ones, not because we want to, but because we are following fear instead of love.

When we are controlled by the fear in our mind, we are become alienated from our own self. This can only result in a sense of alienation from others. The School helps heal the pain and separation of ego--when you sincerely apply yourself. When you are ready to make a commitment to your own spiritual upliftment simply scroll to the bottom and register immediately. It is quick and easy.

HAPPINESS IS CONTAGIOUS!

    Have you ever thought of happiness as a service?

Recent scientific studies tell us that happiness is contagious! Happiness leads to less stress and improved health at every level. "Researchers found that when an individual becomes happy, the network effect can be measured up to three degrees. One person's happiness triggers a chain reaction that benefits not only their friends, but their friends' friends, and their friends' friends' friends. The effect lasts for up to one year."

RECEIVING YOUR LESSONS IS SIMPLE!

1. You will receive one or more lessons each month. Please keep in mind that it is not the number of words in your lesson that is important; it is the quality of the words and the energy contained within them that will impact you--as well as the sincerity of your commitment. Your lessons will be accessed in your online schoolroom via a special link. Only you will have access to your lessons. You will be able to print out your lessons and keep them with you, to read throughout your day. This allows you to replace the false conditioning of the mind with truth and connect with the transforming healing energy of the angels.
2. Optional homework and exercises are offered so you may most benefit from your investment.
3. You will receive daily inspirational messages by email. You will also receive a bimonthly newsletter just for students.
4. You will have access to the Open Classroom where you can interact with other students and teacher, ask questions, receive answers, and share your spiritual journey. This allows you to be part of a larger community of like-minded individuals. You are not alone!
5. Your receptivity and the sincerity of your commitment to Truth is your most important asset. 
6. I am confident the School will become one of your best friends and greatest supporters.

What does the School ask of you?

Be sincere, receptive, and committed. Show up! Read and refer to your lessons on a consistent basis. And be willing to do the following:

• Examine your beliefs under the bright light of conscious awareness
• Discover what you are not.
• Live from the wisdom, love, and compassion of your heart.
• Come into peace and harmony with your life.
• Surrender whatever does not serve your highest purpose.
• Move beyond limited habits of thinking and living.
• Replace lack, loss, limitation, and fear with abundance, peace, courage, and confidence.
• Transform.
• Do the work, learn, and have fun.

If you find yourself unwilling to do some or all of the above, don't worry; it is the ego's job to be unwilling. Fortunately, the lessons speak to the heart, not the ego, so just show up for your lessons and ask God to give you all the willingness you need to be free. The moment you make an inner commitment to The School is the moment the energy will begin to work within you. From your point of commitment on, you will be entering a new realm of possibilities. But don't take my word for it. Experience it for yourself. I am happy to offer the inspiration and guidance that I have so abundantly received and for which I am eternally grateful. I am humbled to be given yet another avenue through which to offer the wisdom, compassion, and love of the angels.

AWAKENING YOUR INNER WISDOM

Learn to think for yourself. YOU can decide what is true for you.

The School offers you an opportunity to read and imbibe your lessons gradually, day by day, so the wisdom in your heart can be awakened. You can think of the brain as a recorder that records everything it hears and sees. Everything. Even what is not useful or true. Reading your lessons allows you to replace false conditioning with Truth. It educates the mind and fills you with angelic inspiration. It allows you to connect with others who are also focused on living from the heart.
