Hello all, the new movie "I AM" by Tom Shadyac demonstrates our deep connectedness in a very straight forward, impressive manner. It also makes a strong case for the need for more purposefully loving connections in this troubled world. In other words, our treatment of each other is what the world is made of.

 

Everyone on Earth has the desire for the loving connections which are available. It is our free will attachments to lesser, separative desires that trips us up.

 

This Sunday may we sit for the strength and the courage to make more loving connections in our lives, with our loved ones, with those we pass by, with those we see as opposing us. The bond between us exists already. May we find, in even the tiniest amount, the way toward more purposefully loving bonds.

 

Thank you,

 

Richard

Hello all, much has been written in history about manifesting of the Infinite into the finite and the fruits thereby produced. It is by these 'fruits of the spirit' that we may recognize, and connect with, the underlying firmament of Love supporting all physical reality.

 

When we encounter fruits which are non-loving, un-caring, disrespectful, divisive, elitist, or un-supporting of the deepest meaning of 'One' it can be viewed as an opportunity to see the depth of need within this world as it is.

 

May we search our responses for our own manifestation of the Infinite. May we find the clearest, the most appropriate concerning individual and situation, the most loving which we may attain.

 

Thank you,

 

Richard

Hello all, one model of human psychology states that initially there exists a desire within a person. At some point, immediately or after some years, there comes a decision to act upon a particular desire. At that point the human brain begins searching for a form of justification for taking the action. After a justification is found, or sometimes even conjured up, the desire is acted upon. There is no proof for this other than personal self-honesty, but that alone can be quite convincing.

Many people talk of 'setting an intention' in life goals, which is done on the conscious thinking level. Yet it may be more beneficial to find the true intention or what is happening at the level of desire, deeper than all justification, to see what is truly driving us.

 

May we sit this evening for that self-honesty, that deep seeing which reveals our desires, in order to see our truest intentions.

 

Thank you,

Hello all, there is so much in this life which we cannot see and so much which we do not know is coming, that it leaves all of our judgements as premature. With that said, all that is sad, bad, and chaotic in the world is either scheduled for our ultimate higher good or incorporated into the goal of our higher good as it occurs. What is left for us is to discern our own paths amidst what appears as turmoil.

 

Whether the turmoil we encounter is internal or external, our own path is key. Paying careful attention to that which resonates for us, is in tune with our higher selves, is essential. As the results of the choices we make teach us to make further choices, we grow.

 

May we sit this Sunday for that growth amidst turmoil, that resonating tone, that illumined path within. May we recognize and follow. May we more suredly fulfill our place in the One.

 

Thank you,

 

Richard
