She is Rev. Anakha Shannon Coman

Even though I am led by a “Higher Power” I called Manasseh, I find it necessary to have a spiritual adviser. I believe this notion extents from my many years in the LDS (Mormon) Church i.e., organized religion, where as each member had his/her spiritual adviser known as their Bishop, who would judge your spiritual worthiness.

The spiritual adviser I have now wouldn’t even begin to judge your spiritual worthiness. My spiritual adviser is a woman, which I never thought possible. LEC founder, Dr. Rev. Mary Manin Morrissey was never considered my spiritual adviser. Although, she was a woman who expounded truths, which resonated with my soul. Celebration Church founder, Rev. Barry Dennis is not my spiritual adviser either.

Just who is my spiritual adviser? A special woman who knows and understands unconditional love. She embodies love wherever she goes. She opens her mouth to speak and words of love come out.

Shawn Lawson Freeman, you lucky son-of-a-gun, (I wanted to use a different word that starts with a B) do you have any idea what you got? Could it be she is the persona of one of greatest spiritual teachers who ever live? She has daily communion with the Beloved. I can’t wait to get my hands on her forthcoming book. She is the founder of the FireHeart Sanctuary, my new church home.

She is the Soul of Oneness… She is Rev. Anakha Shannon Coman

The Soul of Oneness
The soul is made of love and must ever strive to return to love.
Therefore, it can never find rest nor happiness in other things.
It must lose itself in love. By its very nature it must seek God, who is love.
~ Mechthild of Magdenburg ~
Essential Practice: At the center of the soul of oneness is unconditional love. It is the lifeline that connects us; it is the blood that courses through our veins. It is our most powerful and most untapped resource and energy on the planet today. It is the fabric of our existence, it is who we are. To experience the soul of oneness requires that you give the most precious gift you can offer others and that is your unconditional presence. When you embrace others with mindfulness and unconditional love, they bloom, thrive and soar. Begin your day with connecting to your own presence, the soul of oneness, through silence and prayer. Remember that you are not what you do and you are not the various roles and activities that you will enact today. You are a soul living in this human experience. Connect with your soul with each breath. Fill yourself with God’s unconditional love, allowing it to infuse your heart, your body and your awareness. Know that in this present moment and in every moment, you are connected to the source of oneness and filled to overflowing with unconditional love. When you take time to become present with yourself, you will find that you naturally want to give the gift of your presence to others. Practice being in presence everywhere you are today and with everyone you meet. Receive each person as a gift from God sent to you as a messenger and a reminder to be present. Extend your love to each person by offering your unconditional presence. Listen beyond and between the words. Listen for the expression of love. Listen for the request for love. Listen for the soul of oneness. Today, your only purpose is to give this most magnificent gift of your own unguarded heart, your own unconditional presence. Tend to each person you meet as an extension of the soul of oneness. Remember that often what is most precious hides itself, the wild and tender things have retreated and will only reveal themselves to those who are present. Watch the preciousness unfold before you as you pay attention to what has heart and meaning moment to moment, person to person. This is the soul of oneness. Affirmation: I am powerfully present, tending to the soul of oneness and enfolding every person I meet with unconditional love.

Advise From A Higher Power

The following is a dialogue with Manasseh in a meditation on Monday night,

Sitting quietly with my thoughts drifting through my head until one thought arise and catches my attention.

Pete: “How do I receive intimacy without the ego getting involve or the fear of rejection?”

Manasseh: “Allow the love… The touch… The intimacy, you crave come to you. Do not go chasing after it, for you will never catch it or attain the kind of intimacy you desire.”

Peter: “I had an encounter on Sunday. It was beautiful.”

Manasseh: “I know you did. You made a heart and soul connection.”

Peter: “I did? I must admit, there wasn’t any physical attraction at first. The very moment I’d place my hands upon her skin, it was electric. It was ecstasy as I rub the oil over her body. I felt the smoothness and the warmth of her skin. I knew this was the intimacy I’d desire.”

Manasseh: “It was a special hour created by the Universe and your Guides and Angels who want you to know there is sacred intimacy and love for you.”

Peter: “Will I continue to have these encounters that turn out to be a one time moment, like the one I had in June?”

Manasseh: “These ‘Intimacy Encounters’ as you call them, are for your karmic growth… To reintroduce you to sacred manhood which is the interactions and the relationships between the divine masculine and the divine feminine… The way Karmic Lords intended men and women to have healthy relations.”

Peter: “Why can’t it be with one person the first time and not with different people?”

Manasseh: “Love is not exclusive… Love is all-inclusive. Peter, there is a problem with the society you live in. The people in your culture tend to pair up into monogamies relationships, which can create ego-base jealousy, eventually leads to murderous rampages that is so prevalent in today’s media.”

Peter: “I don’t understand how this can happen in a civilized society like ours…”

Manasseh: “The society you live in is far from being civilized, like that of indigenous and some Native America cultures, where they practice open-hearted love. Also known as poly or open relationship can greatly reduce the ego-base center individual. This society you live in, has it in their underdeveloped minds that their partner/spouse is the something as their material property.

The ego-minded individual is unable to share that which has been given to them by the Universe. The ego is a hog, which hoard everything he/she can get their hands on… ‘Mine, all mine… I will not share.’ Whither it money, property, power or fame, the ego of greed will lead to destruction.”

Peter: “There is so much fear in the world. Many are self-conscious and fearful they won’t get their faire share what they expect is theirs. The lost of their personal property, not to mention the lost of personal relationships can cause anxiety in any one of us. What can I do to reverse this trend of this consciousness?”

Manasseh: “Now, that is the sixty-four thousand dollar question… Sounds like a cliché. Several things can be done to heal the world… To heal this culture… Shine you light… Raise your vibration… Love yourself… Love your neighbor, are just the first steps.

Can you honestly look in the mirror at yourself, and say. I Love You, Peter? Take a journey to the darkness inside of you… What do you see? The fear… The insecurity… The lack… The abandonment… The abuse…The self-abuse… The shame… The injustice… The judgment… The pain… The emotional scars… The ugliness of your body… The ugliness of your mind… The ugliness of your heart… The numbing of your entire soul. Look at all of it, don’t turn away to hide… Take a good look at the shit you stuffed down for years.

Bring all that shit up and expose it to the light. Yes, you’re afraid. I know you’re scared. I will hold you with my love. I will love you forever. You can’t get rid of me. You and I are one. Together, we will transform into a beautiful butterfly. I will open my hand and you will feel the true power of your wings. I will set you free. You will flouter and flap your wings within the palm of my hand. You will lift and fly off into love’s beautiful sky. No one will ever shame you again. You will know true power and true freedom.

There is one more item to remember before I let you go. You must never forget all that was given to you from the Universe is to be share with your neighbor… Everyone you meet.

Be Well. Be Whole. Be Healed. Be Free.”
