ON A PERSONAL NOTE Happy Spring!

Although most of you see me weekly via zoom or YouTube, I want to take a moment to pause and connect directly with all our readers and members.I felt it was a good time to communicate the essence of my message beyond my role as the Head Reverend and President of Astara. During our classes and meditations we are so focused on the lesson at hand that the over reaching goals oftentimes get overlooked. I’ll use this space to engage the message of Astara’s direction through my personal commitment to the teachings.

First and foremost, my objective is to serve. That may sound altruist but I sincerely have dedicated myself, through my actions, studies, various roles and businesses, to the spreading of the Light. Through the promotion of understanding multiple religious and ancient wisdoms and pushing beyond all dogma to the appreciation of the best in all, I believe we can create the space to find out who we are personally and therefore contribute to the well-being of society as a whole. In this way the evolution of the individual, can bring, “heaven on earth”.

My aim is to nurture the natural capacity in all of us for empa thy and compassion and to guide in ways that help relieve human suffering -of course, to the best of my current abilities. I want to share my knowledge of the real use of the heart and the tremendous capac ity of Love for both your personal spiritual growth and societal spiritual growth by helping to ta p into the universal consciousness. By exposing the Inner Teachings of Astara in this time via our new Series and Modules, while maintaining the essence of the Book of Life Degree Lesson wisdo ms, I endeavor to be of service to all who come to Astara to seek their own Light and shine it brighte r into the world.

Sincerely,

Greg Toews, Head Reverend, President, CEO
