For Sunday April 25th, 2021

Hello to everyone, as we adjust to the changing currents of life we are involved in what the Japanese call Fudo-a-Shin, to move without moving. The concept is that you have a goal which you never lose sight of, but what is required to attain that goal may continually change. So you make adjustments, like a ship heading to port while being blown by wind and water, you make the needed adjustments which will bring you home.

The goal as Cayce says is, "Be a channel through which others may gain an idea and a manner of closer approach to the thrones of grace - mercy, peace, joy - as come from service to humankind, and from keeping the precepts of the Creator." How you be that channel, always guided by love, may change often.

May we sit this evening to find that channel, minute by minute, which will bring not only ourselves home, but some others as well.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello to all of you, the recent flurry of mass shootings indicates not only a rise in personal anguish but a loss of reverence for life as well. When people are seen as a means to an end (whether by countries, corporations, politicians, or individuals) rather than as equal co-creations in this world, we all lose.

Our job then is to look at our own reverence, for the victims, the lost-soul perpetrators, and our own lessons in loving unconditionally.

May we sit this Sunday for the people involved. May we sit for reverence in the world. May we become what we want to see in the world.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello to everyone, the Civil Rights marches of the 1960s, the 1989 Tiananmen Square protest in Beijing, the Arab Spring, and today's flushing out of sexual predators can all be seen under the same heading. While there have been differing levels of success, with slow but steady increase, each comes from the position of, "I am human. I ought not be treated this way."

As people on the foundational levels of society find their voices, as hearts are opened to the awareness of mistreatment, humanity moves forward. While we don't know the length or the many curves in this road its outcome has long been known, open-hearted Oneness.

May we sit this evening for the lighting of our travels. May we sit for the furthering of this road. May we open our hearts that Oneness may make itself known.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello again to all of you, if you've ever been involved in a birth, other than your own, you'll know that it's a messy affair. The bringing forth of new life while spiritually beautiful can be slimy and tortuous. So while birth is untidy to say the least, rebirth is even more so.

Rebirth requires not only all the attendant difficulties of birth but also the death and release of what was.

As we watch the many changes sweeping across our physical environment, the political landscape, and our personal health, it is helpful to recall that we are in the messy part of prepping and building our future. We would do well to keep an eye on ourselves that we may clearly see how we are playing our part.

May we sit this evening for assistance. May we receive the assistance we need, be the assistance others may need, and become mid-wives and mid-husbands to an emerging world.

Thank you all,

Richard
