Hello everyone, Jesus taught in parables and Zen has it's koans. The purpose is to blast us out of our old modes of thinking, from the common dualistic perspective of life to a more heart-centered view.

If we are to help this world move from the dualistic 'us and them' into the heart-centered Oneness of 'we' our viewpoints must change as well. We will need the courage to see our entire lives, and everyone around us, from this new perspective.

May we sit this Sunday for that perspective, and for the courage to include others as well. It's simple, we're all in this together.

Thank you,

Richard

Hello all, anger can destroy but teaching builds. It's easy to see that Malala Yousafzai was born into this world to be a teacher, to and of humanity. Her calm, quiet demeanor, after the ordeal of being shot in the face by the Taliban, comes clearly from the heart, as the best teaching always does.

May we sit this evening for the teachers within us, and the teachers with all of us. May our experiences bring wisdom and peace as we walk through this world.

With Loving thanks,

Richard

Hello everyone, in a conversation recently it was felt that, while there are many difficulties yet to face, a coming forth of spiritual beauty is increasing in the world. All of us currently on Earth are a part of that 'coming forth', with assistance from beyond.

May we sit this evening for the greater expression of that beauty which lives within us all, and for a clearer connection to spiritual assistance from beyond.

With great thanks,

Richard

Hello all, in Eban Alexander's book "Proof of Heaven" he mentions that humor and irony are proof that we are only travelers through this world, not trapped within it. Being able to step outside of our personal circumstances and see ourselves from a greater perspective, perhaps with a smile, can be very healing. 

And, as we watch the parade of stock statements and carefully choreographed outrage coming from our governmental 'leaders', we may well smile. It cannot be easy to be tightly bound by behind-the-scenes conniving, and still maintain a front of compassionate patriotism. 

May we sit this evening for Divine Light to shine down, bringing a greater perspective to those deadlocked in DC. 

Thank you all,

Richard
