For Sunday November 8th, 2026

Hello to one and all again. The world depends upon the spreading of love, so let's begin at home. Can you imagine seeing yourself objectively, right this moment as you are, from 3-5 feet away? Can you love who you are seeing? Nevermind the oops and foibles which occur in any life. Can you love the person you're perceiving, right now while you're perceiving them? 

If you can love yourself enough that your love spills out and affects others, you'll have done your spiritual job.

Let's take this time Sunday night to love ourselves with the greatest love we can possibly muster up. It's the easiest way to change the world, because it changes us.

Reverently offered,

Richard

Hello to all. Being that we're in an era where humanity is facing itself, seesawing back and forth between material attachments and spiritual callings, let's try to tip the scales a bit.

 
The failures of embracing only material values is becoming quite clear, while the endless beauties of the spiritual is barely glimpsed.

Our ability to tip the scales lies within us. May we sit on the 18th being aware of our own choices, our own thoughts, and our own desires, as humanity completes its chosen path. We have far more power than we realize.

Bless you all,

Richard

Hello again to all. As happens from time to time, and just because we're humans having to deal with each other, societal and political turmoil rises up. So once again it may be appropriate to send love to our political leaders, of all stripes, in hopes of God's will being done.

This could become a recurring theme for a while.

Let's sit tonight to petition God to shine down its Light upon decision makers at every level. May the creative forces be heard. May that which is Divine lead us forward.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello beautiful people. We come into this world with no guarantee of a perfect life, or of perfect health. But we come, and willingly take our chances, because there's work to be done here. We have work to do on ourselves, and love to give to the world.

We learn lessons as we clean up old karma and free ourselves from obsessions. We then pass those lessons on to others through an act of love.

Let us sit this evening in gratitude for that process which enhances all who hear. Our trials and tribulations are often our greatest gifts. May we share their beauty lovingly.

Bless you all,

Richard

Hello again, beautiful people. The story of Sisyphus is of him having to push a boulder up a mountain over and over again, forever. Trying to get humanity to tune into its own heart can feel that way, a never ending struggle. However, in this physical world, the boulder would eventually wear down to a manageable size, as would the mountain slowly become a hill.

 
Such is how it goes with our little project of saving humanity from its lesser self, though it may not feel that way at times.

May we sit this evening eroding that which shrouds our hearts once more. May we find the image of God within, and share without.

With blessings for all,

Richard

For Sunday September 20th, 2026

Hello to all. We like to think that knowing truth gives us a degree of authority. But we have to release all sense of authority to know truth because a sense of authority is of the ego, which is illusory, and an accumulation of knowledge, which is only from the past. Each one blocks the openness required to know truth.

It is only through our own clear investigations, awareness and attention to what is going on inside of ourselves that we will find freedom from our foibles, and therefore truth.

May we sit this evening seeing ourselves clearly, with all tics and bibble-drips in place. May we see them and release them as a child releases its grip, by simply no longer holding. May we find the freedom we seek.

Bless you all,

Richard

For Sunday September 13th, 2026

A beautiful late summer hello to all. Question: what is that which is new?

We're told that thought is always old. It is based on memory, experience and knowledge, and from that springs thought. Knowledge, memory and experience are always in the past, and from the past no new thing can be. You cannot make something new; you can modify it, you can reshape it, but what you have modified or reshaped is not new. So, thought cannot bring about love.

So all love is of the moment. You love in the moment you're in.

May we sit this evening in love, in the everlasting moment, the eternal grace of our heritage, in love.

Blessings on all,

Richard

Hello, and a gracious good day to everyone. We've seen so often that people standing together can bring change to a society. And we know that all healing comes from attuning to the natural awareness of the divine all of us.

So the world's solution is simple, right? All that has to be done is for everyone to attune to an awareness of their divine source. And the more we can attune, the more others will see.

So let's sit this evening with an awareness of the beautiful Light within, as in 'made in God's image'. It can be as simple as that.

Reverently submitted,

Richard

Hello, and a seasonal change greeting to all. I'll be away from my computer for a few days so I'm sending this reminder of the goodness of humanity out early.

 
The passing of Dolly Parton has brought up a lot of references to all the good she did for the world, and who she was personally.

 
This brought to mind the cave rescue of a kid's soccer team and their coach in Thailand four years ago. Ten thousand people from seventeen different countries came together for three weeks, with the world watching, to save thirteen people they'd never met.

May sit Sunday evening taking heart in the natural beauty of people.

With Love for all,

Richard

From where I am, I offer a rainy hello to everyone. And, I wish the best for all of you. The Mpemba Effect is the tendency for a transition to oftentimes complete itself faster when it begins farther away from the end point, such as hot water freezing faster than cold water. It happens often enough to have been given a name.

At the moment we're watching our world grow more tumultuous as the results of greed, ego, and power become increasingly clear on a global scale.

So, may we sit this evening in favor of speeding up a much needed realignment of humanity with Divine Source.

Bless you all,

Richard

This evening may we sit for all those affected by the earthquakes in Indonesia. 

May courage, fortitude, and God's will be done.

With reverence,

For Sunday August 9th, 2026

Hello lovely people. We all eventually leave this world behind, and everything in it. Oddly, that's the same situation which is recommended for meditation while we're living. To surrender everything we know and think about ourselves and the world, in order to discover what else exists, has been suggested since the ancients.

 
How difficult can it be? Let's find out.

May we sit this Sunday in complete surrender of ourselves. Don't worry, it's only for a little time. And if we do it right, maybe a little out-of-time. I'm told it can be life changing, in all the best ways.

With reverence for all,

Richard

For Sunday August 2nd, 2026

Hello, and gracious greetings to all. The spiritual transformation of humanity is not a simple thing. There are those who cling desperately to their personal desires of lust and power, knowing little of anything else. Those who foresee a more spiritual, heart-centered version of humanity may feel a level of frustration over this.

The fact is that the majority of people learn slowly, often by way of difficulties. This is their chosen path according to their free will. An integral part of living more spiritually is to have reverence for the paths of others.

So, this evening, may we sit as observers. May our own personal frailties be merely whispers of wind which arise then pass on by, un-grasped at. May we find an inner peace which helps us to allow all others to have their chosen paths.

Reverently submitted,

Richard
