Welcome to the blog of Dr. Michael Sharp
Greetings! You have reached the weblog of me, Dr. Michael Sharp. Here I provide spiritual, economic, political, and social commentary relevant to those following an authentic path of spiritual awakening and empowerment (what is authentic spirituality?)
If you want to know a bit about me, I am a spiritual author and sociologist and I am here to help facilitate "the shift" in consciousness currently underway on this planet. In order to accomplish my mission I have created the world's only comprehensive, self contained system of spiritual awakening and empowerment that I call The Lightning Path.
You can learn more about me, my books, parables, poems, and services by visiting my homepage. If you want to learn more about The Lightning Path, visit the LP introductory site at http://www.thelightningpath.com, check out the information links in the "keys" tab in the sidebar, or dive right into your spiritual study by visiting http://curriculum.thelightningpath.com

Obama the “lightworker”
Obama is the Messiah! Obama is a Lightworker. Obama is our savior. Get on the bandwagon and BELIEVE because it is 100 percent true, so help us God. Or so we were told. But these days it looks increasingly like a load of spiritual snake oil, which wouldn’t be so bad except for the fact that many otherwise trusted spiritual figures were fooled as well. The only question now is, will Deepak, and Alex, and all the others who fed us a line fess up and apologize for violating our trust, or will they just stick their thumbs up their arses and eat their pudding pie.
2012 “Predictions”
Blah, blah, blah, the end of the world is here. Well whoop-te-doo. No dramatic Mayan’s shifts in the forecast, just a continuation of trends already visible and established, but with a bit of just-barely-noticeable acceleration. Patience and discernment are the key words as attempts to suppress global awakening and empowerment become increasingly manipulative, aggressive, and desperate.
The Birth of Christ
I’m not Christian and I don’t go to Church, but I do believe in God and I understand the nature of consciousness and so I’m not above using a really good metaphor for consciousness, and CHRIST is a really good metaphor. So here is a poem that I wrote about the emergence of divinity and the birth of CHRIST consciousness in you. Not yet, but close! Not now, but soon! Look out world, here we come!
Law of Attraction – Shock and Awe
A couple of years ago a slick marketing campaign propelled “The Secret” into the collective consciousness of this planet. It was “high” spiritual “wisdom of the ages” we were told. All you had to do to gain prosperity, said the pundits, was beg the universe for it. But after a global financial meltdown, ridiculous rates of foreclosure and bankruptcy, and alleged sweat lodge manslaughter, the credibility of the California gurus is in doubt, at least I hope. If not then I “gots” to wonder, if global austerity, loss of livelihood, and slow-roasting death in a sweat lodge is not enough to make people sit up and question the authenticity of the so called “secret” and the “gurus” who shill it, what will?
As a whisper it comes…
This is a poem about awakening. This is a poem about the gut wrenching realization of Truth with a capital “T”. This is the realization of self-deception and the recognition of blindfolded existence. Most importantly, and on a day when everybody and their blindfolded dog is talking, in a nonsensical way about 11:11:11 activation, this is a direct and effective shot to your crown chakra. Hey, are you listening, the world is the same today as it was yesterday and the only thing that is going to change it is a authentic change within you.
The Lightning Strike
I need light A reader writes and wonders about all the pain, suffering, and injustice in the world. What can I say but THIS IS AUTHENTIC SPIRITUAL ENLIGHTENMENT. Consciousness is awareness and awareness does not lead to solipsistic ignorance of the state of the world, or selfish inaction. Business does not go on “as usual” for those who are AWAKE and EMPOWERED. Things need to change and as a JOYFUL MASTER of creation, and LIGHTWORKER, it is up to you to do the changing.
For YouA poem about the power of LOVE
The Sphere MovieI’m writing the “Power” archetype for the Halo/Sharp Tarot and I am reminded of the movie The Sphere, a “brilliant” manifestation of the old energy TOWER archetype. The movie tells the story of a “sphere” that gives us the power to manifest whatever we desire! The result? Mutually assured destruction! We’re just little children and we can’t handle that kind of power without blowing ourselves up, literally. Hogwash I say. We are JOYFUL, MASTERS of creation and we need to awaken, empower, and ascend this planet!
Snake oilThis is a song about deception, a poem about greed, and a lament to the broken promises of the spiritual “leaders,” gurus, and others who put money and profit first. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with making a buck, but when that becomes the primary motivation, awakening and empowerment get thrown under the bus of ego, greed, and aggrandizement.
Don’t just think about it…Part of the LP Core Guidance series, this short audio/article provides motivational commentary. Going to the new age store and picking up a crystal, or reading the lastest book by guru swami “What-the-heck-is-this-guy-talking-about-anyway,” isn’t enough. You have to walk the walk otherwise you are just blowing hot air, and wasting your precious end-times time. My advice? Don’t just think about it, do it, do it, do it.
Song for Shelter – Fatboy Slim This guy’s crown chakra is obviously vibing and I’m lovin it. My favorite line is where he points to the hypocrisy of those around him, the “fake ones,” the ones that “say they know” but are really just “strutting” an ego dance. It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad since the fake ones end up misleading those who really just want nothing more than to “make it” happen. Don’t be misled! It is a blindfolded world and you really need to learn to distinguish the wheat from the chaff before things get really out of hand (guide to authentic spirituality).

You can’t educate I For no equal opportunity: (Talkin’ ’bout my freedom) Talkin’ ’bout my freedom, People freedom (freedom) and liberty! Yeah, we’ve been trodding on the winepress

I just watched William Shatner’s “Captains” movie. I really loved it. But then, I was a Trekkie from my toddler days when I was captured by the star filled future that Star Trek represented, so I’m biased. There is a lot to commend in the film though I was struck most forcibly by the end
