Living my Authentic Life

I AM a Messenger.  I AM a Divine Being.  I AM a Light-Bearer.  Lest you think this boastful or delusional, you should know that our true natures are all the same.  I have been guided to realize that we are all connected within our true higher identity, and therefore, have the same capacity for love, peace, joy, compassion and service.  We are given the opportunity to Awaken and experience/expand these qualities as our shared true nature and reflection of Divine Source (God, Universe, etc.). 

​

So, what about the human person?  As we are all Spiritual Beings having a human experience, how do we do the human part?  This is where the teaching/mentoring may be helpful.  Your Spirit/Soul needs no help toward connecting to the Divine, it always already is.  The disconnect comes within our human conditioning pertaining to our temporary physical life.  Based upon our pursuit of survival and dominance over other humans, our need for emotional acceptance and validation, and a mind filled with false conditioning – a shift in consciousness, our “Way of Being,” is required. 

​

We may choose to transcend our ego-conditioning, and allow our higher Authentic Self to lead.  Or, we can choose to remain stuck in our fear, judgment, delusion, and suffering.  Are we connected to God (Love) and each other, here to support healing, ascension and Unity?  Or, are we randomly here to create and perpetuate our own selfish pursuits, leading to the chaos and divisiveness we so often witness?  It literally is your choice.  And truthfully, when it is our time, we all will awaken.  However, if your time is now, you may be willing to transform the way in which you perceive and experience your human life and connection to all others.  Additionally, you will more often add your light and higher consciousness into this world as it is, rather than simply wishing it was different (better), and unconsciously contributing to its fear and suffering.

​

So, who is Scott?  The person called Scott has had many titles and experiences (leading to either joy, suffering, and everything in-between).  Therefore, like all of you, I have had many opportunities to live and learn within my own lower ego-based identity.  Sometimes life feels like survival is a worthy goal.  Yet, we are here to accomplish so much more.  Through it all, we eventually awaken to our Authentic Self and begin to honor ourselves, beyond self-judgement and perception of lack.  This alone will eliminate the need for much human suffering.  Then, when we can love ourselves fully, we will more naturally cease to fear and judge others.  This “Spiritual” work is always ongoing, because each new present moment brings the opportunity to choose love (Spirit) or fear (ego). 

​

I was not raised religious.  But I always had a desire for peace, kindness, cooperation and equality.  From about college age on, I became interested in religion, spirituality, philosophy and psychology – higher truth.  Still trying to find my way, I was seeking something more than the world seemed to offer.  I spent much of my life trying to do and be what was expected and valued by my ego conditioning.  Of course, this is always unsatisfying and inauthentic.  Yet this is often our path of learning and evolving until we are able to release the illusion.  As it turns out, life will offer plenty of “teachers” and experiences to show you the result of not sufficiently valuing yourself.  The ego may have felt very challenged and threatened, but I now know that we are given the opportunities we need to either awaken, or otherwise continue to create more suffering. 

​

At the same time, I was raised for great ambition.  Therefore, expectations are always high.  As a more sensitive Soul, my lack of assertiveness likely lessoned some worldly attainment.  However, I tended toward a logical mind, ability to learn concepts, desire to get-along with others, and a more moderate appetite for material accumulation.  I majored in Accounting in college, and earned a degree in Business.  At times I ventured off into various career paths, searching for greater meaning and purpose, however, the bulk of my career was in Accounting Management.  I was also a Certified Public Accountant (CPA).  I temporarily worked as a Licensed Massage Therapist, Adjunct College Professor, and recently I worked a more blue-collar type job in a warehouse environment.

​

Within each of these positions I was always working to connect with others on a level beyond the actual duties of the job.  I was often a confidant, counselor, guide or teacher.  I have been fairly active in fitness training, ever since my father took me to a gym at 12.  In college I practiced Christianity.  From my 30’s on, I resonated with some of the more contemporary spiritual teachers of the time.  In my 40’s I began studying Buddhism and Kriya Yoga, leading to a regular meditation practice.  In my mid-fifties I began writing, and self-publishing four books, in the genre of “Self-help, Personal-Spiritual Growth and Healing.”  I went back to accounting for a time, as a way to support myself.  But there was no inspiration there. 

​

Then, after the Covid vaccine was available (in early 2021), I decided to try something completely different.  I began working a warehouse job.  I was applying the principles from my previous writing.  I wanted the opportunity to serve with my highest integrity.  Minimum wage, no fancy title or office, just walk in, learn the job and perform my best.  It was a very enlightening experience.  I was suddenly working with a diverse group of people, whose conditioning was very different than mine.  At times I was challenged to humble myself, recognize and appreciate the unique life path of others, and bring my light and loving energy to this environment.  I was seeing this not as a career path or future reward, but as an opportunity to serve each day in present time.  I learned that being reliable and on-time every day, and being supportive to others, is an easy way to find success.  I was promoted multiple times, and even honored as Employee of the Year in the area I worked.  I ended up staying nearly two and a half years.  I could feel that the energy within me had shifted, and by August of 2023 I had move on.

​

At the conclusion of this experience, I briefly considered going back to accounting.  Our ego wants control, and the known (no matter how unsatisfying) is always calling you.  But as I continued to meditate and pray on my options, my guidance was clear.  I knew it was time to live my Authentic Life, and step into the role of author and spiritual mentor, with courage and conviction.  I was transcending my lower identity, and claiming my truth.  I then wrote “Your Authentic Life,” which was published in March 2024.

​

My greatest joy in human terms is always my family.  I have been very blessed to be a father to two wonderful women.  And, I am grandfather to four terrific boys.  I have been married and divorced more than once.  I have had a diverse career, working at various levels for numerous companies.  As I get older, I have had close family members transition out of this world.  Plus, I have experienced the "life cycle" of friends who connect for a time, and then naturally move on.  All of this life experience, combined with the ongoing application of higher awareness, offers tremendous wisdom teaching.  Therefore, to write about self-mastery, the higher purpose and value of relationships of all kinds, career fulfillment, holistic wellness, death and dying, and conscious parenting, becomes an extension of the message I have been Divinely guided to live and share.  At the end of the day, I AM a Messenger.  Blessings and Namaste.
