Hello to all, darkness isn't an equal and opposite force of light. It is simply a natural occurrence of having a lack of light. The moment you introduce any amount of light at all, that which we call darkness is dispelled.

It is similar with Love. All the foibles and frailties of human psychology can be traced to a lack of Love. They are sign posts along a continuum, indicating just how far we are from the state of unconditional Love.

 
May we sit this evening to be aware of our personal sign posts. May we see our emotional reactions as indicators of Love we have yet to attain. May we, by our efforts, increase the amount of Light in the world.

Thank you all for all you do,

Richard

Hello everyone, a rainbow after a storm is a reminder. Typically after a natural disaster people reach out to each other, help each other, step in to share what they have, and simply 'join in', resulting in a general spiritual upgrade for all involved.

 
However, when heads are full of thoughts and opinions the heart can go unheard, causing an interruption to the instinctive response.

May we sit this evening to quiet the distractive and separating chatter of the mind. May we see that all are One. May we allow our Divine Source to shine.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello to all of you, the term 'pagan religion' has been used derisively but at the core of them all is an honoring of nature. The connection and reverence which indigenous people have for Mother Earth can be clearly seen in these videos of the Kogi Indians of Columbia.

Our western world, who they refer to as 'younger brother', has much to learn.

May we sit this evening to give a Valentine to Mother Earth. Our bodies are made of hers. Our quality of life depends upon how we take care of her. Our continued survival is linked to developing a deep and abiding connection not only to Mother Earth but to all of human-unity.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello everyone, a basic rule of thumb for assessing our spiritual progression is our level of contentment and satisfaction with life and the resulting action of whether conflict arises or decreases in our presence. Edgar Cayce puts it this way, "Let your light shine that it will lighten the way for those that are stumbling here and there about you."

As we sit tonight, let us not be lost but offer kindness and empathy to those around us. May we let our candles shine.

Thank you all,

Richard
