For Sunday April 1st, 2012

Hello all, there is an ancient saying, "Dear Lord, if you will forgive my little jokes on Thee, I will forgive Thy big joke on me." As water is more deeply appreciated at the completion of a long thirst, and breathing goes unnoticed until we are without, Oneness with Divine is sweeter after a sense of separation. And the joke? After all of life is lived and time itself has passed on, we find we were never really separated at all.

May we sit this Sunday, even within the midst of our difficulties, and allow our hearts to dwell upon that which we cannot see, upon that which is closer than breath, upon that which holds us lovingly within the Great Heart, even as we find our way back.

Thank you,

Richard

Hello all, our human brains tend to see the world in paradigms. The known world was explained with magic before Aristotle, who brought a sense of logic. Around the time of Isaac Newton clockwork perfection and billiard ball physics were the guiding principals. The turn of the last century brought tiny particles and quantum mechanics. Each of these paradigms work to some extent and each has their limits.

What does it take to look not for the next paradigm, which is to say the next broader set of limits, but beyond all paradigms? How is the attitude of being endlessly open attained?

May we sit again this Sunday toward that openness, toward what may be seen, when limits are unknown.

Thank you,

Richard

Hello all, an old Irish blessing goes...

"May you have a world of wishes at your command.
God and His angels close at hand.
Friends and family their love impart,
and Irish blessings in your heart."

Even a day late it's still worthwhile. May we hold such beauty for all, wherever from.

Thank you,

Richard

Hello all, these messages are a mixture of intuition, blind hope, and dumb luck, as is much of life. In keeping with the tradition of 'going with what feels right' each week, I would ask your permission this Sunday to focus upon Ed Guerra and his mother Amelia. I have no actual explanation for why their situation has touched me so, whether it's my friendship with Ed, or my own mother having passed, or some underlying sense of timing.

However, if you are so inclined, please join us this Sunday to petition for Divine Light to come down for her healing if appropriate and for their highest good overall.

Thank you,

Richard

Hello all, just as "impossible" can be re-written as "I'm possible" all worldly difficulties have a personal facet. To remove greed from the world we first remove it from ourselves and, not only is greed lessened by just that amount, but there becomes a selfless light. Honesty and love, which heals the distraction of a human frailty, is brought forth and the world becomes a brighter place.

May we sit this Sunday for that brighter place as it comes from Above to glow within and shine about. May we sit for ourselves, and for others who are called, and for those in need.

Thank you,

Richard
