For Sunday October 26th, 2025

I'll be out of town and away from my computer for a week. I'll be in Virginia Beach at an NDE R&R Retreat. It's a beautiful time with wonderful people. So, I'm sending Sunday's and next Tuesday's meditations a bit early. Enjoy...

Hello everyone, as we work our way through karma, on our way toward grace, we find our egos transforming. At the very best our psychological egos become implements of divine will.

Until then, there are many lessons to be learned from our missteps along the way.

Tonight may we sit for the willingness to try, the honesty to recognize, the humility to learn, and the courage to realign ourselves as needed to bring Divine will to Earth.

Blessings on all,

Richard

Hello beautiful people. Edgar Cayce tell us that all strength and healing, whether from drugs, surgery or prayer, comes from attuning living tissue to the creative energies of the Divine.

Leaving drugs and surgery to the doctors, we come upon the two meanings of 'having a lot of faith'. One is a mental construct, intensely believing and defending something without ever having seen or experienced it. The other is the degree of love one can bring to an event or situation – how securely can you attune to the Divine?

Let us sit this evening securing our connection. May we set aside biases and judgements, all mental processes, in favor of pure connection. May we bring this to the world through our lives. May we be clear lenses for the Divine to shine through.

Bless you all,

Richard

Hello to one and all on this lovely day. When we work together with no purpose and no goal, when only the joy of working together remains, all status and prestige disappears. Contentment, satisfaction, and compassion rises in their place.

As we are called to be of assistance to our fellow humans it helps to see them as human souls having a particular experience in life, as we are. With that perhaps we can companion them equanimously, with calmness and emotional balance.

May we sit this evening knowing we're all together, flowing along our personal paths on a river of loving creation. All is well when we are well within ourselves.

Bless you all,

Richard

Hello, beautiful souls. Once in a while I hit upon something which registers with people. It has been suggested that I repeat this one occasionally. So here it is: 

In the grand picture we wish for the enlightenment of humanity. In the immediate picture we wish for a spiritual upgrade of ourselves. As with so many things, the two are one and the same.

 
There is no way to separate an upgrade of ourselves from that of humanity. We are a piece of that humanity. Each time we say a kind word, share an honest smile, or reach out in compassion to someone in dis-ease, we do our part to enlighten all. It's that simple.

 
May we sit this evening for the forbearance to continue our own spiritual unfoldment amongst the many distractions of life. The end result will be worth it, and perhaps the immediate too.

Bless you all,

Richard

Hello again, beautiful people. We each have our individual parts to play in this amazing and difficult transition from worldly, material consciousness to heart-centered spiritual awareness. Every piece of the puzzle matters.

 
Spiritually, the path is more important than the destination. So it's not only the fullness of your life which matters, it's every piece of your life.

May we sit this even to know what the next right thing, the next loving thing, is for us to attend to. Each may be different. Each is essential. Each one is part of the whole. May we apply ourselves to the fullness of our lives.

Thank you all,

Richard

For Sunday September 14th, 2025

Hello again to all in this beautiful and troubled world. Those who are attached to external power continue to cling ever tighter to various methods of control; narration, intimidation, and actual violence. But, if you trust in the intelligence of the heart, you are encouraged to take a breath, relax, and observe.

 
We are told there will be atrocities; "For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven." The question we're left with is, where do we put our energies? There are a variety of answers, all individual.

Speaking truth to power with clarity; Ho'oponopono; prayer and meditation; and simply observing without internal comment are all available and effective in their ways.

May we sit this evening to find our personal responses to the difficulties of this world. May we be guided by compassionate intelligence. May we find the strength and courage to face the world as it is and move ourselves forward.

With blessings for all,

Richard

Just for the beauty of it...

This video was recently shared with me by a friend. It's Carl Jung's expansive teachings on the concepts of: 

Chop wood, Carry water,

Rice and Bowl

Follow Your Bliss

Listen to Your Heart

As Above, So Below

and probably other condensed teachings which aren't coming to mind right now.

Sorry about the AI sounding voice.

Enjoy,

Richard

Hello, beautiful people. As we know, when we touch someone's hand honestly from the heart, or connect through the eyes, we are transforming something from the spiritual into the material of this world.

 
Such manifestations change the world. It is the alchemy of the heart.

May we sit this Sunday being aware of the beauty which can be brought forth, another piece of 'As Above, So Below' come true.

Reverently offered,

Richard

Hello everyone, following the advice of Eileen Lindsay I'm reposting the meditation which was so late last week. It's worth a try, eh?

In the grand picture we wish for the enlightenment of humanity. In the immediate picture we wish for a spiritual upgrade of ourselves. As with so many things, the two are one and the same.

 
There is no way to separate an upgrade of ourselves from that of humanity. We are a piece of that humanity. Each time we say a kind word, share an honest smile, or reach out in compassion to someone in dis-ease, we do our part to enlighten all. It's that simple.

 
May we sit this evening for the forbearance to continue our own spiritual unfoldment amongst the many distractions of life. The end result will be worth it, and perhaps the immediate too.

Bless you all,

Hello, gorgeous seekers. During this transitionary period it well behooves us to see all people equally, which is not always easy. So, here's a thought to assist us with connecting: whenever you meet someone you are not meeting a person with opinions, viewpoints, emotions, and attitudes. You are meeting a human soul who is having that experience.

It's a difficult thing they've chosen to do. They've chosen it as a learning experience, which will last an entire lifetime for heaven's sake. Therefore, for having such courage, they are very deserving of your love.

May we sit this Sunday with the understanding that everyone is having their own experience, and doing so in a difficult time. And, by the way, you are deserving of your love too. In such a difficult time as this, thank you for being here.

With love and blessings for all,

Richard

Hello beautiful bringers of Light. We can spend a lot of time chasing after the peripheral results of spiritual enlightenment; psychic phenomenon, bilocation, the 'clairs', and any number of things. However, we're also told that we are our greatest teachers. How does this occur?

As explained in the included video, it's in the small nudges we get, sometimes on a daily basis. We have to learn to discern the difference between our psychological whims and our intuitive nudges. It's not always easy but is worth exploring.

May we sit this Sunday being aware of ourselves, again. May we find our way through our foibles. May we progress intuitively and with grace.

Bless you all on your paths,

Richard
