For Sunday December 30th, 2018

Hello to all, in a recent conversation the phrase 'your healing will be your teaching' came up. It refers to the idea that the process of healing from a dis-ease or difficulty can provide you with the knowledge and experience to teach from your healing. 

Many who have faced great challenges have gone on to become great teachers in life, helping others to face similar challenges and beyond. Helen Keller, Nelson Mandela, and Elie Wiesel come to mind.

May we sit Sunday evening for the insight to know our weaknesses, the courage to face them, and the love to heal from them. And, may our efforts bring benefit to others. 

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello to all, the word dissociation is a psychiatric term typically used to describe a state of 'disconnecting from one's surroundings' during times of trauma. It is a survival technique in extreme trauma. But here's a question; in situations which are safe and quiet, can it be learned and used to deepen meditation?

Can we learn to 'step outside our bodies' with meditative relaxation techniques? Can dissociation be crafted and perfected? Can it be used to "leave" everything and clear a path or pathway to the Unitive?

May we sit this Sunday, perhaps with the help of the attached meditative script, to reach beyond the physical, to search for the path to the Unitive, to find our way home. 

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello to all, here's a quote which seems useful at this time:  "Arguments will seldom change the aspects or the views of any. And truth itself needs no champion, for it is of itself champion of champions – and needs no defense; only for self to live according to that which IS the truth!"   – Edgar Cayce 1669-1 

Cayce is asking us to live the truth, but before that we must find what is far beyond our surface life, to find that which is honest, loving, and eternal. 

May we sit this evening for sight which is far beyond the work-a-day world. May we attain some degree of sight into the Divine depths. May we bring it back to live in this world.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello everyone and nearly Merry Christmas, as we celebrate 'the one' whose spiritual job is not yet finished let us work toward the Oneness which is within our reach. Here again a connective process:

Step one; get the hands busy, find or join an activity which can be done with a group. 

Step two; the community spirit which is built during the activity is the engagement of hearts. 

Step three; it is the engagement of people's hearts which changes the brain and thereby the thinking.

May we sit this Sunday in the unity which is promised but we have not yet attained. May we reach out and make the connections we can. May Thy Will be done in all things.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello all, I apologize for the lateness of this posting. Due to illness in other Santas I got caught up doing Santa until 8pm. The original schedule said I'd be done by 2pm. So with this in mind, let's sit tonight for all those who portray, and those who help the portrayal, of Santa throughout the world. Collectively, they bring a great deal of joy to the Earth.

Thank you all,

Richard
