THE THREE CHARACTERISTICS OF A SUPERHERO:
1. A heart filled with love.
2. A mind set in certainty.
3. A strong will to be of service to all.

I absolutely LOVE SUPERHEROES! And by that, I mean in an all consuming Divinely Passionate and deeply meaningful manner! The root word Hero actually comes from the latin HEROS. Meaning two. As in what I do for you, I do for myself. And vice versa! It later became the term HERO meaning 'to be of service.'
Everyone is a SUPERHERO! And I do mean EVERYONE! No exceptions granted. Yes, even you 'reluctant superheroes.' Especially all you 'reluctant superheroes!' Those of you who are still playing 'hard to get' with the Universe. You know who you are! ;0) For there is a deep feeling within your very being that constantly shows you whispered signs of a CALLING yet to be fulfilled. A Mission so majestic in scope that it scares you! So you are still refusing its call. And that's OK. FOR NOW! But get ready, for it won't be long before you all will be called forth into action....... Just sayin'!
For all of life itself is a Superhero's Journey. An experience of radical spiritual transformation. In which the Universe expresses itself through and as US! The Grand Creator seeks to expand always and in all ways. It's the very nature of God herself. And as the late legendary physicist Stephen Hawking discovered, "The boundary condition of the Universe....is that is has NO boundary." NO BOUNDARY and that means NO LIMITS! You chose to come here to carry out a CALLING that was Divinely Devised. You carry a divinity spark of pure SPIRIT that is 100% heroic! Part Martin Luther King Jr., part Yoda, Wonder Woman, and Captain America, but all Christ Consciousness! By fulfilling your unique Mission, the byproduct is assisting and adding to the expansion of the Universe. Which ultimately means creating more heaping buckets of LOVE! The core component of all that is.......
The extraordinary spiritual teacher and master coach Martha Beck, in her book, 'Finding Your Way in a Wild New World," describes all of us SUPERHEROES this way:
"Most of us feel a sense of mission involving a major transformation in human experience; a strong sense that whatever that mission is, it's getting closer in time; a compulsion to master certain skills in preparation for this half-understood personal mission; high levels of empathy; an urgent desire to lessen the suffering of humans, animals, and plants; and a loneliness stemming from a sense of difference, despite being generally social. "
She calls this group of SUPERHEROES 'The Team.' I call us The Legion of Love!! If you would like to officially join this team, just let me know and your t-shirt and pin will be in the mail, pronto! ;0)
We aren't here so much to save the world as we are to CHANGE IT! If you are here, now, it means you were 'tagged' by the Universe to discover and unleash your Super Heroic Higher Self on this planet! And you chose to accept this 'Mission Possible', because THAT IS WHAT SUPERHEROES DO! We seek the grandest of adventures. BLISS is our birthright! And we devour any chance to experience it in all its magnificence! When we are summoned into 'being of service', we don't walk, we eventually run toward our CALLING!
As Joseph Campbell said, "It is miraculous. I even have a superstition that has grown on me as a result of invisible hands coming all the time- namely, that if you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. When you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in the field of your bliss, and they open the doors to you. I say, follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be."
Our government is in complete turmoil, climate disruption is threatening our way of existence, the middle class is shrinking by the day, and fear and hate have created one of our country's, if not the world's, greatest periods of divided disconnection. And while there are many who have awoken from their slumber, still others are stuck in choosing spiritual sides. Either stay in the darkness, where its safe, or have the courage to be reborn into a new identity. That of a SUPERHERO! The SUPERHERO everyone came here to be!
Becoming a SUPERHERO isn't easy. That fancy cape must be earned! You must leave behind the world of comfort you think is protecting you from pain, to step into this New World that holds the truth of your Supreme Power. And you know at times, it's gonna hurt. But aren't you in enough pain already?! If you aren't already following your personal CALLING, I'm sure you are experiencing periods of listless low energy, disillusionment, being directionless, or the burning knowingness there is more to life than 'this.' Perhaps your life feels meaningless and devoid of emotional zest. Maybe you've even put your desires back on the bookshelf of broken dreams.
Hiding from your authentic self isn't the answer you seek. It never is! SUPERHEROES are built for pain. The very process that birthed us into this reality caused your mother a great deal of suffering. (And that's why everyone knows mom's are all Super Heroes!) Any birthing process causes suffering. My very definition of the word itself is:
Summoning our
Ultimate
Fears &
Frailty
Encouraging
Rebirth
But please re-member that you don't have to take one single step of this Journey by yourself. Again invoking the sage words of Campbell, "Furthermore, we have not even to risk the adventure alone, for the heroes of all time have gone before us. The labyrinth is thoroughly known. We have only to follow the thread of the hero path, and where we had though to find an abomination, we shall find a god. And where we had thought to travel outward, we will come to the center of our own existence. And where we had thought to be alone, we will be with all the world."
And the world needs its SUPERHEROES now more than ever! There is a strong disturbance in the Force/Source of the Universe. And its causing a mass crack in consciousness. One by one, souls on this planet are beginning to awaken to the HEROIC AGE that is now upon us. Why do you think Super Hero movies have completely resurrected and transformed Tinseltown's creative juices?! Since the beginning of time, art has always played a vital role in its reflection of our current cultural distinctions. As Harold Goddard states, "The destiny of the world is less determined by the battles lost and won than by the stories it loves and believes in." And right now, we all love stories about SUPERHEROES! Wouldn't you agree?! Like all great mythology, these stories are helping us remember our own heroic nature.
When the student is ready, the teacher will always appear. So I suggest you take a close look around. The signs are everywhere. In the song on the radio, and the book you are currently reading. On the next TV show you watch or the next blog you read! LOL
Just as we are ALL SUPERHEROES, our collective Purpose is also one in the same. We are all here to be of LOVING, BLISSFUL service to ourselves and each other! BOOM! Period and exclamation point! Our individual CALLINGS are the vehicles through which we create that form of service. And your CALLING has just as much to do with what you are Being as what it is you are Doing with your life. Think of it this way. Your purpose is the beingness and your calling is the doingness part of your Hero's Journey! And by that I mean being kind, compassionate, patient, joyful and loving. The doingness is the Divine Assignment you came here to fulfill! Together, they combine to join forces like two BSF's. Best of Super Friends! And in tandem, they create the love filled expansion the Universe desires........
And for all your Heroic efforts, you get to experience all the abundance within the Universe!
All the wealth, health, joy, laughter, light, LOVE and BLISS in the Cosmos! As you ask, so shall it be given. That's a pretty fair trade off, right?! I say Hell yes!
The issue isn't IF, but WHEN will you decide to make that leap of FAITH?! That very first step into the Heroic Life that is still awaiting you. Worry not if you are still on the sidelines of life. For your CALLING is very patient............
Please Be Patient With Me....
As My CALLING Has Been Patient...
And Your CALLING With You...
As CALLINGS Are Non Temporal...
Eternally Obedient...
A Contract Written With Remnant Tears...
From The Times They Were First Imagined..
And Birthed through JOY's LOVE and Laughter...
They are INTUITION Made Tangible Guide...
Sealed With God's Knowing Nod...
And So It Is........

The Universe is starting to nudge you toward pure KNOWINGNESS! For every season has its time, and for the SUPERHEROES of this world, the clock closes in on midnight. The hour of heroic spiritual transformation is upon us all!As it states in the revelatory book 'God I Am,' "There is no single path that lead to the realization of the Oneness of all Life. Each soul has to walk its own path. However - all roads lead to the same homeland. In truth there is no road to travel, for what we call a path is but the awakening of a soul from its deep slumber. But, when our destination is in sight, you may find it was the grandest journey you have ever undertaken, because on this journey we are homeward bound."
BE SUPER HEROIC!
