For Sunday, November 28th, 2010

Hello all, I'd like to ask that we focus on the situation surrounding the Korean penninsula this week. May God's Light come down upon those involved. May God's will be fulfilled. May all look upward for guidance.

 

Thank you,

Hello all, there are so many things happening in this world, so many areas which deserve attention. Do we pray for them all? Do we pray for that which is the key to all?  Can evolutionists come to recognize the joy of creation? Can creationists see the beauty of evolution? Might political parties to release their clamoring for power? Is it possible for all individuals to simply be open to Above?

Einstein's comment "You cannot solve a problem with the same level of thinking that created it" speaks toward seeking that higher perspective. May we sit this Sunday for those higher realms where paradoxes blend into understanding, where difficulties are seen as lessons, where life is a sacred adventure.

Thank you,

Richard

Hello all, I was recently reminded of an ancient Jewish teaching; "If you seek to save the world, set your own house in order first." This teaching has survived because it is true on many different levels. First, our own house, our own domicile. To care for ourselves enough to provide ourselves with whatever decent living arrangements which may be within reach. Secondly, our house as our body. To care enough to attend to our health and well-being. Then, our house as a metaphor for our lives. Psychologically dealing with the ebb and flow and obstacles of life in a self-loving, and outwardly loving, manner is a strong foundation. Upon this foundation may we reach ever higher spiritually toward the purity which is the Source of all we know.

This Sunday may we sit for that purity to shine through our lives on all levels, for all people.

Thank you,

Richard

Hello all, from Aristotle's explanations of nature to Galileo's celestial observations to Newton's laws of physics to Einstein's thought experiments to the non-intuitive world of quantum physics, humankind has been on a quest for knowledge. At each stage of the progression there have been major obstacles, and yet the quest continues. The distraction of employing this historic build-up of scientific knowledge to produce war machinery and profit is a current obstacle.

If it is true that centuries of synchronistic scientific advancement has been for the purpose of establishing a 'proof' of that energy which has been called God, Allah, Nirvana, Valhalla, The Light, and so on, then science needs to find it's center once again. Scientists and philosophers would do well to compare notes with an eye more toward common ground than division.

This Sunday may we sit for this rekindling of purpose, this resurrection of old guidance, this brand-new realization of an ancient pact.

Thank you,

Richard
