Lightworks! 

 The Rodan Foundation's Publication for the Metaphysical Church of Enlightenment, January 2025

 In 1981, Reverend Clarke Carraway founded The Rodan Foundation with the intention of creating a powerful, growing community of awakening beings who experience love, peace, prosperity, unity, healing, harmony, and revelation through learning and service. The Rodan Foundation, recognizing the Law of Cause and Effect, expresses gratitude for the many blessings it reaps from the community's experiences.


Welcome! Join with us in our dynamic weekly services where we discover our true purpose in an emerging world.  Experience the revelation of our collective awakening to the power of love, the wonder of our multi-dimensional capacities, and the joy in reclaiming earth as our home. Sunday mornings provide the opportunity to celebrate life with like-minded beings and experience personal reassurance  and empowerment through the spiritual messages of Reverend Carraway's mediumship. We look forward to your participation enhancing our community. 


CHANGE


 
 

So much has occurred in recent times and everyone on the planet is being affected to one degree or another by change... earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, and tornadoes to name a few. Yet behind each story is a symbol of hope and new beginnings. Wherever tragedy has appeared, countless expressions of courage, generosity, friendship, and assistance, have also appeared - and often from unexpected sources.

We humans are funny creatures in that we crave security and an unchanging world while being outrageously creative and wanting to constantly manifest new experiences. Perhaps we continue to miss the point of true certainty... faith in ourselves while allowing for change.

Every day we are given another opportunity to listen to our own wisdom and trust the inner guidance that is part of each of us. Some days we listen, some days we ignore our wisdom. Yet, day by day we are becoming more aware that only through trusting ourselves do we find that each step is planted firmly.

For example, to have peace is to first become that peace, and to really know love is to share the love we have within. Only by being at peace and embodying love can we experience these priceless qualities with others.

Many will pray for peace, however which of us has the courage to embrace and practice peace in our personal daily life? Especially in the face of the often chaotic, challenging, and uncertain appearances before us?

This year will no doubt bring numerous opportunities to share our love and inner peace. The key will be our ability to remain calm, centered, and balanced in the present moment regardless of the appearances before us. When we can come from this place in our being, we tap the infinite wisdom and perfect inspiration of what to do next.

By being our truth, we become a radiating beacon of love and peace shining our light into the world and showing the safe way home to our hearts. Now it begins in earnest.               The Love Foundation
