For Sunday December 29th, 2019

Hello to all, humans divide energy into arbitrary fragments. We choose this, that, and other to define all we observe. Everything is separated and labeled into easy-to-think-of categories. It is this, our concept of separation, which gives rise to conflict.

And yet, similar to waves on an ocean, all energies are part of a unitary movement, a completeness from which nothing can be separated, a Oneness. If we dispense with separation and learn Oneness, we can solve conflict.

May we sit this evening to see with the widest possible clarity. May we see separation as an illusion. May we absorb into Oneness.

Thank you all,

Richard

For Sunday December 22nd, 2019

Hello everyone, what happens when you say, "I love you," to your own heart? This simple act of self-healing can bring a sense of ease, and fortitude in difficult times.

In this sometimes chaotic, battered world it can be a chance to 'catch our breath'.

May we sit this evening for our very personal selves. May we bring ourselves to peace within. May we breathe in love.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello all, Krishnamurti claims that wisdom is born of an abundance of compassion, and further, compassion comes from knowing our innate connection. 

Proof of Krishnamurti's comment can be seen in the current propensity toward separation and division. You can watch it nullify compassion and push us away from wisdom. To counter this we each have the opportunity to see some piece of ourselves in every other person we meet, and treat them accordingly.

May we sit this Sunday for the connections we all share. May we treat each other as fellow humans. May we love one another as we are loved.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello everyone, perhaps not absolute saints but the rest of us can be seen as having two motivators. There is a part of us which is continuously connected to Universal Consciousness, and there is a part which has been consciously separated from Universal Consciousness, our personal ego. The need, for those who strive to love outwardly, is to identify where our daily impulses are coming from.

The fruits of the ego, anger, fear, and revenge, are powerful, addictive, and temporarily satisfying. But the fruits of the spirit bring contentment, an encompassing satisfaction, inner peace, and kindness toward self and others.

May we sit this Sunday for the capacity to identify and choose well from among the impulses that arise in our lives. May we have the courage to search for higher guidance, and the strength to follow it.

Thank you all,

Richard
