For Sunday February 16th, 2025

Hello, loving people. Here's a challenge from "What Tom Sawyer Learned from Dying": Can you love yourself? Not just here I am. I'm doing ok. I think I've done more positive than negative in my life. But really, truly, love yourself?

 
Can you love yourself as you love a child while watching them learn to walk, manage stairs, make their letters, learn to swim? You see their difficulties, watch them negotiate them, learn from their own mistakes, and love them all the while. Can you do that for yourself while looking over your entire lifetime, love yourself for struggling through this life?

And now, now that you love yourself for struggling through, can you love another for doing so too? Can you love them so much that they in turn, love themselves?

This is how attitudes can be changed.

May we sit this evening with full awareness of our lives, and love ourselves for all of it. May our self-love carry over to someone with whom we disagree, perhaps strongly. May spreading love be our priority, over our limited human opinions.

Blessings for you all,

Richard

Edgar Cayce says the human soul is the greatest in all creation because it can become One with Divine Source. We're clearly not there yet.

In the meantime we cry, deep long sobbing, for the horrors we inflict upon each other.

 
And therein lies our strength. It is our ability to feel deeply which motivates us. Fervent prayer is a form of action. Meditation can bring personal relief.

 
Let us look upward this evening. May our prayers bring relief to others. May our meditations heal us well. And don't forget to laugh at ourselves for the foolishness of it all.

Reverently submitted,

Richard

Hello again, and thank you for being on Earth at this time. If you subscribe to the idea that those who love outwardly have chosen to be here in order to teach and heal a world in transition, welcome, there is much to be done. Under the heading of 'you have to love yourself first' it behooves us all to be very loving of ourselves, so we can share the excess.

 
In our human consciousness we love according to judgements based upon comparisons of unavoidably limited reference points. To love spiritually is to love without judgements.

May we sit Sunday evening in search of honest self-love. May we love ourselves intensely, just as we are, with all hiccups and foibles in place. May we carry that love, and the lessons from it, into the world.

With many blessings for all,

Richard

Hello to all. We are engaged in a major undertaking – transforming the hearts of humanity. It's not a job for the faint of heart. It's a job for the joyful of heart, even if we're unsure of ourselves. There are those who have larger roles to play publicly, but all are essential – even in the smallest of ways.

Just as no puzzle is complete when a piece is missing. There's no such thing as too small of a role.

May we sit this evening being thankful for our pieces; large, small, or seen by only one. While an entire tree falling in a forest makes no sound with no one to hear it, the minor bending of a twig can change a life.

Bless you all for all the lives you've changed,

Richard

Hello, and welcome to another episode of moving ourselves forward. Millions of people have been shown a glimpse of the other side through NDEs, STEs, and many other three letter abbreviations. This means we're getting help.

But still, we must choose. Our God given free will allows us to act out our conscious and subconscious desires. Pain, malice, manipulation, and feeding our ego is all fascillitated through free will. However, it's when we express love in a non-judgemental way, and with "full reverence", that we're using it to its best potential.

May we sit this Sunday evening being aware of our choices, in both thought and action. May we carry that awareness into our days. May we lovingly assist humanity along its spiritual path.

With reverence for all,

Richard

Hello again, loving people. Our minds see the world through differences. These differences are grounded in space, time, weight, size, color, odor and all the other methods of physical measurement. 

Our hearts, however, perceive everything in terms of harmony. Do our vibrations blend well? Do we vibrate clearly enough to entice others to join in? 

May we sit this evening listening to our heart's vibrations. May we carry this awareness into our days, listening to the hearts of others, and how we all may blend together.

With blessings for all,

Richard

Sorry to skip this for today but I'll be going down to see if I can help Carol.

Catch you all next week.

Hello to the beautiful hearts of all. The intelligence of our hearts is not found in our emotions. Our emotions come from memories of, and thoughts about, our personal experiences, whether they be positive or negative. We guide our lives by this storehouse of thoughts and memories as we learn our way through this world.

But the intelligence of our hearts is our personalized extension of Universal Intelligence. It is our unbreakable connection to Source.

So we have a dilemma: We need our time-honored thoughts to be able to deal effectively with the physical world. Yet those same essential thoughts can be a distraction from hearing Universal Intelligence.

May we sit Sunday evening and simply let those thoughts subside. May we listen differently. May we hear our hearts speak.

With blessings for all,

Richard

A gracious hello to all. Einstein's E=mc2 is an elegant representation of how energy is condensed to create physical matter. We know that matter can be created and destroyed, but energy is constant. This tells us that the universe was created out of an astonishing abundance of energy – energy which already existed. I submit to you that condensing that energy required an intelligence far beyond our own to accomplish it, and a powerful motivating force to do so.

 
Could that be the Total Knowledge and Unconditional Love we've heard of so often?

May we sit tomorrow evening in awe. May we be open. May some miniscule moment of God's Will be done in and through us.

Submitted with reverence,

Richard

Hello good and wonderful people, let's consider the following. There is truly only One Consciousness. Our seemingly individualized consciousness is connected to it through our hearts. When something of spiritual note occurs, or is about to occur, or even needs a place to occur – our heart knows it first. Our heart signals our brain which, when in perfect tune, will immediately plan an appropriate response.

However, our brains are often scrambled with thoughts of the day, recycling of emotional situations, personal foibles, and dogmatic training.

 
If we can quiet our minds, even for a bit, we'll receive our heart's signals more clearly. Thereby, God's Will gets done through us. May we sit this evening listening to the beauty of our own hearts in tune.

Thank you all for absolutely everything,

Richard

Hello to everyone, history's great teachers tell us that what we need spiritually may be massively uncomfortable to endure. With all that's happening in the world right now it's important that we witness – 'be with' in our hearts – those who suffer, even if it's only for 20 minutes.

May our energies uphold them. May our hearts lighten theirs. May they feel we are one human family.

Bless you all,

Richard

Hello, loving people. According to Tom Sawyer's standard; at the time you successfully obtain a full meditative state, you will be functioning clairvoyantly and superluminally. Doing so would allow you to zero In on anything past or present, in any subject matter. And, it would be equivalent to a full fledged near death experience or spontaneous spiritual awakening. This is why meditation has been culturally and historically important for spiritual enlightenment.

Apparently, anything less than a full meditative state can be considered as practice. So let's practice.

May we sit this evening with the mental discipline required to release monkey mind as often as needed. We have something greater to attend to, and it calls us forward. May we answer lovingly.

Bless you all for all you do,

Richard

Hello once again good people. The sum total of all politics, philosophies, and religions of the past thousands of years has not changed the human race enough. We are still brutally violent to each other.

 
The absolute transformation of many individuals is required, far more than has yet occurred. What we all have inside is what we really need – the heart and its connections.

May we sit Sunday evening looking at ourselves and how we relate to others. Where can we create beautiful connections? What truly is the light inside and how can we share it?

With love and blessings for all,

Richard
