For Sunday September 29th, 2013

Hello everyone, as we all have heard many times the future of humanity is astounding. At some point a typical daily life will be infused with that which is now termed ineffable, beauty beyond description. Getting to that point will be a neat trick. 

The media focuses on gunmen, hostages, death, and terror - simply because it sells; in doing so they miss the millions who work and pray for a better world. It's the work and prayers of those millions which will bring about the 'cure' the world longs for, and is well due.

May we add our hearts to that movement this Sunday, as we add our work always. May we lift and be lifted beyond the typical, all the way to the loving warmth which lives within us all.

Humbly offered,

Richard

Hello everyone, Furio Sclano, a minister in the Kriya tradition, mentions the path of growth from belief, to faith, to revelation. He says belief is a mental concept which is held dear, faith is a concept which you invest some of yourself in, and revelation is when you have your own spiritual experience.

This ties nicely with the phrase; religion is when you believe in someone else's experience - spirituality is having your own experience. 

May we sit this evening, in about 50 minutes, for that experience on whatever level. May we recognize it even in subtlety and enjoy it in all fullness.

Thank you,

Richard

For Sunday September 15th, 2013 - Yesterday..!

Geez, I have to apologize here. I've had a lot of distractions lately due to family coming in from out of town for, wait for it - my daughter's wedding. Whew!

I've kind of been on a non-stop roller coaster of living on cloud nine and woke up this morning realizing that I completely missed last night. Sheesh.

So anyways, with loving apologies to all, two things come to mind. First, the flooding in Colorado. I've heard that many are safe and many are in distress. May we be thankful and may Divine Will be done for all. 

Secondly, I'd like to share what I wished for my daughter and her new husband, that they remember the 3 P's; patience, persistence, and pick up after yourself. Patience, because it takes a long time for the other to grow. Persistence, because it takes a lot of work to grow yourself. And pick up after yourself meaning, don't leave a mess in the other's heart, or in your own.

Thank you all, perhaps my head and heart will return to Earth soon...

Hello everyone, when your heart is truly touched there comes a feeling of 'lightness of being' - and your perceptions change. The world appears to be different because you see it with new eyes. 

In these turbulent political times perhaps our 'leaders' need to see with new eyes. 

May we sit this Sunday for Divine Grace to come down and touch the hearts and give guidance to those involved in directing our nation's future. May we wish them well for their highest good. My we bring them our best.

Thank you,

Richard
