What a gift it was to have Charles as a teacher this year at Tai Sophia. In my own journey of waking up to a deeper understanding of my place in the universe, I walked away from a finacially "stable" emotionally, spiritually starved situation. In trusting this path I found myself needing help, and not sure how to ask for it and on some level feeling people should know and just offer it. After a pity party for myself and some deep reflection I realized through the gift of a thought, that if i needed help, then others needed help because we are all the same and need the same things. I prayed to be able to help others to see and act on others silent cries for help and to trust that I had everything I needed and all the help I needed or asked for. Within minutes of making this prayer a friend called and needed help, and not only was I continually in situations where I could help but I began receiving help and from the most unusual places. Ask and you shall receive, receive and you shall ask. Be the bridge. Thanks Charles!
