Hello to all, in ancient Greek mythology Prometheus stole fire (technology) from Zeus. Zeus said, "Ok, fine, you can have fire - but it will do you no good. In fact, it will be your undoing, unless you have these two things as well; reverence and justice."

Those wise words are still true today. If we had more reverence for mother Earth we'd have mitigated much of the pollution our technology is causing. If we had more reverence for humanity you'd see less starvation and cruelty in the world. If we had more reverence in general the balancing principles of justice would more clearly come to us.

May we sit this evening for the awareness of reverence within our own selves. May we be open to the sense of justice which true reverence brings. May such reverence bring us closer to the perfect relationship between humanity and its Creator.

Thank you all,

Richard

And I did it again...

I sent out last Tuesday's meditation focus to myself only, forgetting to include the BCC list. I'm going to blame... Uh... Nope, I just screwed it up. Oh dopey me.

Donna Coleman, Catherine Rundquist, and Jenny Stotz will not be skipped but will be included this Tuesday. 

Happy Christmas Season!

Hello to everyone, some have wondered if the 'great conjunction' of Jupiter and Saturn on this Monday evening might explain the Christmas Star over Bethlehem so long ago. While it's true that the Magi were astrologers, back when astrology was a truly astounding science, it may be that the periodic meeting of two planets is not a unique enough event to herald such an extraordinary birth. 

Fervent prayer can result in a bright column of Light reaching upward beyond perception as many sensitive people can testify. Now multiply such prayers of an individual by many orders of magnitude in an attempt to approach the spiritual purity required to bring forth the Christ child into a physical/material world.

The exact location would be undeniable to those who were appropriately attuned.

May we sit Sunday evening to open ourselves to that which is beyond mystery. May we touch that level of purity. May we fulfill the long promise of 'As Above, So Below'.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello everyone, due to me being buried deep within what I call the 'Santa Tunnel' I'd like to share with you a focus from March of 2018. I believe it still holds true today. 

"Fred Rogers said some wonderful things, far too many to list here, but it's the look on his face which catches you up. You can see his creative mind working in the service of his great heart.

Fred Rogers poured himself into life, filling every available moment with grace.

May it be that his example, and others, will help us find our own true hearts and lead our thinking onward by the love which lives within all."

Thank you for all you do,

Richard

Hello to all, in these times of Earthly strife it is well to remember an Edgar Cayce reading which goes, "Keep the heart singing. Keep the face toward the light, keeping self in attune to that Oneness wherein all power, and all force, is at the command of the entity in applying those forces known within self to meet the needs of each and every condition." It is a reading which fits well with, "As long as you walk toward the Light, the shadow of your burdens will always fall behind you."

We cannot put our heads in the sand and ignore the strife in the world, nor may we know the particular answers required for its resolution, but we can face the strife with an honest recognition of the difficulties and with the proper attitude.

May we sit this evening to face the Light which shines on every heart. May we be open to its entry. May we let it shine upon the world through the gifts we have been given.

Thank you all,

Richard
