For Sunday October 30th, 2022

Hello everyone, Edgar Cayce says the human soul is the greatest in all creation, because it can become one with the Divine Source. So it seems that humans, currently fraught with all manner of physical and psychological frailties, can become One with God while in physical form – as above, so below.

This calling, which so many of us attend to, is tempered by how we face our frailties. A determination to see our failings and missteps honestly, unflinchingly, is essential. By doing so we learn exactly who we are and therefore how best to move forward.

May we sit this Sunday evening for the strength and courage required to face ourselves as we are, the wisdom to follow Divine guidance, and for the Love which powers all.

Thank you all for all you do,

Richard

Hello everyone, as we work our way through karma, on our way toward grace, we find our egos transforming. At our very best our egos become implements of divine will.

There can be many lessons coming from the missteps we make along the way.

Tonight may we sit for the willingness to try, the honesty to recognize, the humility to learn, and the courage to realign ourselves as needed to divine will.

Blessings on all,

Richard

Hello everyone, Edgar Cayce tells us that the experiences of life are manifestations of divinity. He adds that our minds are the builders, that by choosing to follow the Creative Forces we can translate spiritual law away from karma, with its endless cycling of cause and effect, into grace – and thereby move into our higher calling.

Our job then is to discern the subtleties between our typically human, psychological reactions and what truly comes from the Creative Forces.

May we sit this coming Sunday evening for the honesty and insight to tell the difference; the courage and strength to choose wisely; and the guidance to see clearly.

Blessings upon us all,

Richard

Hello everyone, fifty years ago I met a young woman who nearly sat on me after entering the room I was quietly sitting in. That's when I realized she was blind. We became fast friends and have remained so all these decades.

Some months ago she had an episode of brain bleed and fell down her attic stairs. Her Apple watch called the ambulance, saving her life. Her brain however hasn't been right since.
She has been one of God's bright Lights for her entire life, and still is.

Even though her brain doesn't work right, her gentle, loving personality still shines. She will soon move into an assisted living situation with many other people. Instead of spending the rest of her life seeing her boyfriend and a few close friends, she'll be shining on many people every day.

Where do you use a flashlight? In the dark.

I desperately miss my friend with whom I could discuss anything and laugh about everything. Yet even with my personal pain, I whole-heartedly applaud her spiritual work.

It's difficult to know when our circumstances are part of a larger plan. Let's go forward in life knowing we can be useful exactly where we are. May God's will be done, and may we have the strength to fulfill our part in it.

In loving honor of Judy Joy Weidenborner,

Richard

Hello again, and on time this time, whew. Those who are addicted to personal power are threatened by even a glimmer of authentic power from those whom they wish to control. This plays out as a violent forcing of adherence to ideologies or personal loyalty rather than encouraging or allowing individual growth.

The protests in Russia over conscription into an unpopular war, and in Iran with the crackdown on head scarves, are examples of clinging to external power in the face of a growing sense of personal worth.

May we sit this evening for those who feel the pull of personal worth, for their struggle. May we encourage the bits of light shining through the growing cracks in authoritarian armor. May we support those dealing with the most difficult aspects of this spiritual transition.

Thank you and bless you all,

Richard
