As October’s harvest moon rises in 2025, new policy updates highlight a major shift in how we verify our identities. Just weeks ago, on September 26, the UK government announced a national digital ID plan. This requires workers to prove their status digitally to prevent illegal employment. Meanwhile, the European Union’s EUDI Wallet held a key testing event in Wrocław, Poland, on September 29-30. It focused on using biometrics, such as fingerprints or facial scans, for common daily tasks.

My fellow Americans, in the spirit of humble inquiry that guides us all as seekers on this earthly path, I turn my thoughts to the recent passing of Charlie Kirk, a young man whose life ended so abruptly on September 10, 2025, during an event at Utah Valley University. As one who has walked the roads of truth and self-examination, I see in this tragedy not merely the end of one man’s journey, but a mirror held up to our collective soul. As a fellow traveler inspired by the universal quest for truth, love, and freedom- principles that bind humanity – I offer these reflections not as judgment, but as an invitation to introspection.

As the Director of Life Temple, I find great inspiration in how the universe encourages us to connect with the Source – the essence of Truth, Love, and Freedom that binds us together. Each August, we experience a remarkable celestial event: the Lion’s Gate Portal, peaking on August 8, 2025. This alignment offers a unique opportunity to reflect, find inner peace, and pursue personal growth.

In a world often bound by societal expectations, material pursuits, and external validations, the quest for spiritual independence shines as a path to true liberation. This isn't merely about rejecting religious dogma or cultural norms; it's about nurturing inner autonomy to connect profoundly with our authentic selves and the divine. As July unfolds—marked by the spirited celebrations of Independence Day on the 4th—it's an ideal time to explore how spirituality mirrors themes of freedom, both personal and collective.

As June unfolds, the world bathes in the glow of summer’s arrival. The sun lingers longer, fields brim with color, and the air carries a warmth that invites us to open our hearts. This season is a celebration of abundance—not just in the bounty of nature, but in the richness of our inner lives and connections with others. June calls us to pause, to savor the light, and to explore how we can cultivate a sense of fullness in our daily experience.

As May sweeps across the land, the Earth pulses with the energy of rebirth. Blossoms unfurl, birds weave their songs into the morning air, and the days stretch longer, inviting us to pause and breathe deeply. Spring is not merely a season—it’s a reminder of the cycles that shape both the world and our inner lives. This month, as nature awakens, we’re called to explore the possibilities of renewal, to connect with others, and to nurture the seeds of growth within ourselves.

As April unfurls its vibrant green tapestry across the landscape, there’s a quiet invitation in the air — one that calls us to sink our hands into the soil and connect with the living world around us. Gardening, especially in this season of renewal, offers more than just a way to cultivate plants; it becomes a path to presence, a practice that grounds us in the moment and aligns us with the rhythms of nature.

As the chill of winter begins to fade and the first tender shoots of green emerge from the earth, we find ourselves standing on the threshold of a profound moment in the natural cycle: the Spring Equinox. This year, on or around March 20th, the day and night will balance in perfect harmony, marking a time of equilibrium, renewal, and the stirring of life’s boundless potential.

Love is often celebrated in February with hearts, flowers, and grand gestures. But the true spirit of love transcends a single day. It’s a universal energy connecting us to ourselves, to each other, and to the world around us. When we look beyond Valentine’s Day traditions and explore love’s deeper essence, we discover its infinite power to transform and unite.

As we stand on the cusp of a new year, there's a palpable sense of renewal in the air. At LIFE TEMPLE, where we cherish the journey of personal growth and collective harmony, the transition into the new year invites us to pause and reflect. Rather than leaping forward with traditional New Year's resolutions, let's explore the concept of setting intentions—a practice that aligns more closely with our six guiding principles, particularly with the emphasis on personal evolution and the sacredness of life.

As the longest night of the year approaches, the Winter Solstice invites us into a space of stillness and transformation. This celestial event marks a pivotal turning point: the gradual return of light as days begin to lengthen once again. It is a powerful symbol of rebirth and renewal, reminding us that even in life’s darkest moments, light and hope are never far away.

As Thanksgiving approaches at Life Temple, we often turn to gratitude, reflecting on blessings and the transformative meaning of this season. Yet, alongside our gratitude, it’s important to honor our shared history. For many Native Americans, Thanksgiving is observed as a National Day of Mourning, recognizing both the resilience and the profound losses endured by Indigenous communities over centuries. Acknowledging both gratitude and historical truth helps foster a deeper sense of healing and unity.
