Hello to all, many people understand the need for a fundamental change in how we live on Earth. Even as politicians seek power, corporations seek money, and various wannabees seek influence, the essential requirement of life is to live through the heart. Humanity needs the experience of it's inter-connectedness, it's interdependence. We ought not use each other for personal gains nor are we truly enemies of each other. We either deeply know our connection or we miss it.
May we sit this Sunday for the expansion of our connection, for the 'knowing' of our connection, for us knowing ourselves. May we reach out to those who are still asleep, to those who are waking, and to the sleeping parts of ourselves. May we join in the one thing which can balance the Earth, our highest and truest self.
Thank you,
Richard

Hello all, here's a quote from Mary Ann Williamson sent in by Ceri Booth:
I think about how "temporarily inaccessible to the power of the Atonement" (ACIM) a heart must be, to think it right to shoot a little girl because she says she wants to go to school.
But it's not like with the Nazis during WW2, where if you simply got rid of them, the phenomenon they promulgated was for all intents and purposes gone. We can't just kill enough Taliban and make it all go away. There's an ideology there -- deep and entrenched and being taught to thousands of children -- that bullets alone cannot destroy.
That's why, in answer to those who think we should keep the subject of spirituality far away from politics, I think the exact opposite. We didn't say, "Spirituality has nothing to do with AIDS," and we shouldn't say, "Spirituality has nothing to do with war." There HAS to be a spiritual solution to this, or the tragedies will only get worse. We are burdening our military with a mission that we should all be contributing to. That
May we sit this Sunday for those whose hearts are closed; for those whose thoughts and emotions run without guidance; for those who, like ourselves, have weaknesses and vulnerabilities. May we sit for God's Light to come down and illumine the future of all.
Thank you,
Richard

's why we need a holistic politics. Military might is like allopathic medicine; it needs to be backed by psychological, spiritual and emotional support.
So let's do something radical: let's meditate today, and pour God's light on every extremist of any kind. Let's remember that that which is not love is a call for love. Let's spend a minimum of five minutes every day, pouring the Light and Love of a Divine Creator onto those who we are tempted to fear, or even hate. Imagine extremist groups, then send love to them like the medicine it is, to heal their minds and restore us all to sanity. For only love has the ability to cast out fear. Let us pray for a divine intercession from a thought system beyond our own. We cannot do this by ourselves. For true peace on earth, we need a miracle. Amen

Hello all, it is said we must 'see with a new Light'. As we look upon our world and our troubles we must see with new eyes. What it takes to change others I do not know. What it takes to change ourselves is in our hearts. May we look upon the world in a loving manner. May we see it as lost, in need of guidance from Above coming through each heart.
May we sit this Sunday for those new eyes, these new hearts, and a world in touch with inner, higher beauty.
Thank you all lovingly,
Richard

For Sunday October 7th, 2012
Hello all, it's easy to be disappointed in our political system. With election day approaching each party becomes more entrenched, the level of discourse worsens, and the time and effort spent on swaying a few undecided voters skyrockets. Under the heading of "Thou shall not worship false idols" we find money, power, influence, prestige, money again, and (it seems) more money.
Fortunately, the only true power in the universe is Love. All else falls away as this lesson is learned.
May we sit this Sunday for that continuing lesson. As we stumble our way along, guided by an unseen hand, may we find good footing and a loving outcome. May we raise the spiritual level of our own selves and petition the Light to shine down upon those who are still unseeing.
Thank you,
Richard
