We meet Adam, who is at a breaking point in his life. This ignites the beginning of his profound and transformative spiritual journey.

Adam is confronted about the way he has been thinking and approaching life. He is also introduced to an understanding of how we are students in the classroom of life.

Adam comes to realize how we repeat painful emotional patterns and fall into the same holes and traps until we learn a new way to live.

Adam is challenged about his world view and is introduced to the “Four Spiritual Pillars,” while Gramps shares about True Source, the Source of Unconditional Love, and the Source of who we really are.

Gramps challenges Adam to realize how he is stuck living in his head and how emotions are different than true heart feelings, which are the natural expressions of our spiritual heart.

Different metaphors about the sun, clouds, birds, and weeds in the garden are explored to teach deep spiritual lessons.

Gramps helps Adam explore topics such as how we have been brainwashed; the meaning of happiness and true success; how obstacles are opportunities for transformation; and the meaning of the lotus in the mud.

Adam comes to realize how false needs create suffering, and his stubborn mind leads him to a very big and unexpected challenge.

Adam comes to understand how constant stress, judgement and self-criticism had become his identity, and that through the cracks of our of our broken heart, the Gift of Unconditional Love is capable of healing our deepest pain and dissolving the illusion that we are separate from Love itself.

Gramps helps Adam to realize the different ways we block our connection to our heart; the illusion of arguing with the past; and how opening our spiritual heart by accepting the Gift of Unconditional Love begins a profound healing process.

Adam falls back into an old sabotage pattern, and Gramps helps him realize that the Gift of Unconditional Love is not something we earn or have to prove we are worthy to receive, and how Love is waiting to set us free to be who we really are.

Gramps and Adam have a dialogue about different forms of intelligence, healthy and unhealthy boundaries, heart based communication, and the wisdom of the heart.

Adam gets to explore the gift of choice, why our spiritual heart is so special, and breaking free from emotional trances by being grateful that those patterns are not who we really are.

Adam comes to understand the limitations of mindfulness, and realizes how he thought he was experiencing the world as it was, but in reality he was looking at the world through the colored lenses of his mind.

Adam faces a big test when he finds himself in a situation that he used to consider to be fun, meaningful and seductive.

Adam realizes the significance of synchronicity. Gramps helps him to admit his deep wounds and how our wounds form a wall that imprison us.

Gramps helps Adam realize that we are in a time of special spiritual awakening. Adam sets off on his healing journey that becomes the beginning of his profound spiritual transformation.

Adam comes to understand how certain types of thinking can be like engaging in psychic warfare. He also realizes that is time for us to be issue-free beings, so that the Gift of Unconditional Love can radiate in all directions to the hearts of everyone.

Gramps helps Adam realize we are in a time of special spiritual awakening, and Adam sets off on his healing journey that becomes the beginning of his profound spiritual transformation.

Adam wakes up from the illusion of living in separation by allowing the Gift of Unconditional Love to remove what is not of Love so the spark in the core of his spiritual heart becomes free to radiate in all directions.

Adam understands the real meaning of “It is all the Love of True Source.” He bids farewell to Gramps, returning to the world and sharing his perspective on life and our spiritual journey.
