Hello everyone, in the vast expanse of modern media we are awash with sensationalism, outrage, adamant opinions, and selfish reasoning. Such anger and bitterness does not lead to peace of mind. 

We are social animals. We depend upon one another. We benefit from applying love and compassion in the situations we encounter. Such compassion can bring the optimism and hope which is so needed for a bright future.

Let us sit this Sunday for the wisdom to choose wisely and lovingly in our interactions with others. May we have the courage and insight to see the person standing behind the opinions. May we prepare our society for the healing which must occur.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello to everyone, sitting with and accepting the pain of tragedy can be difficult and uncomfortable. Wanting to protect ourselves from that discomfort is natural, but it avoids the lesson hidden within. To focus on 'fixing' the tragedy is to deny the pain, while turning to blame and anger simply hardens our hearts.

 
It is sitting with and acknowledging the pain which softens our hearts and opens us to spirituality. As the ancient saying goes, "God enters our lives through the wounds in our hearts."

May we sit this Sunday to accept that tragedy occurs in this world. May we acknowledge it fully, offering our love in return. May acknowledgement and love open our hearts, and lead us forward.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello to all, at the moment there is a difficult humanitarian and political scenario developing on the border of Poland and Belarus. It may help to shed a little "Light" on the situation.

So this meditation is to petition the Divine Source to shine it's Light down upon all involved.

 
May 'Thy will be done' for the greatest good of all.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello to all, our patience may be tested as we watch the world struggle through the transition from a reliance on external power (money, politics, military) to the acknowledgement of the authenticity of the heart. But have heart, people are basically good.

Speaking in generalities, those who do horrid things to others are most often driven to it. Drugs, environment, peer pressure, cultural influences can all direct a smiling child into a difficult adult. But during a natural catastrophe, or even a personal assault, the instinctive responses of those who come to help show the truth of humankind – we are made in the image of something good.

May we sit this evening for the faith to trust in our natural goodness. May we calm our minds that we may hear when assistance comes. May we see the turmoil of the world in the terms of 'growing pains' with loving patience – and be of service when we can.

Thank you all,

Richard

Missed Meditation on Sunday October 31st!

I have had such a beautifully wonderful, uplifting birthday weekend that I completely forgot about the Sunday meditation. I turned 70 years old yesterday which feels impossible since I only feel 7 years old inside. My kids tell me I have 63 years of experience at being 7 years old.

For some as yet unknown reason I woke up this morning with this on my mind:

"Remote Healing – Reaching outward with an honest, unobstructed, uncorrupted, Love. It may manifest in the healee's experience as a felt or unfelt additional energy; the healee's own thought, "This will be ok. I will be ok"; some vague sense of an angel presence; or a full physical manifestation of the presence of a person.
The healer may experience a sense of having 'gone to' the healee in some degree.

In my experience none of these are practiced techniques of the healer. Rather, they are natural outcomes of the intention to be of assistance and the purity of the Love."

In lieu of last night's meditation I offer the above and the below, which shows how I spent my evening:
