For Sunday July 2nd, 2023

Hello again everyone, as I'll be out of town and not sure of a return date I'll send out Sunday's meditation now. Maybe it'll give you a chance to prepare yourselves.

J. Krishnamurti tells us that a different kind of action occurs when there are no masks of pretension or defense. This action is fresh rather than based upon accumulated knowledge or experience and, as with all innocence, it is totally vulnerable.

From that place of innocence and vulnerability, free of both memories of the past and thoughts of the future, comes an extraordinary thing in which there is no sorrow, nor pain, nor pleasure, but instead an unlimited amount of joy.

This Sunday, may we set down even if only for a moment, all which stands between us and our spiritual birthright – a nearly inexpressible joy.

Bless you all,

Richard

Hello lovely people, there may come a time when your desire to heal a situation is tempered by how to help the healing process. Basically the options are any of the energetic techniques – Reiki, fervent prayer, and their cousins, which are highly effective and often quick; or the subtle, intuitively based mustard seeds which, when spread out over time, can bring about a change in attitude and behavior which then creates the healing.

Both are essential in their uses.

Discernment between the two is based on underlying causes, immediate needs, and long-term viability. A potential problem, simply stated, is when someone's dis-ease is a function of their attitude toward life. A quick energetic zap can alleviate their discomfort then 'wear off' in time due to their unchanged attitude, leaving them more dis-heartened than before.

May we sit with this awareness this evening. May our sight be clear. May we understand and choose well for the benefit of all.

Bless you all for all you do,

Richard

Hello and Happy Father's Day to one and all, especially since all are One. As we look at the world we see those who are more and more desperately grasping onto the illusions of external power, financial, political, military, etc. Their grasping becomes more extreme as their fear grows and their fear is a trap, they cannot see a better future.

 
They do not realize this – that which they fear, adores them.

We all hold onto something which stands between us and that which adores us. Otherwise we'd all have become fully enlightened already.

 
Our 'job' this Sunday, as at all times, is to connect more fully with that adoring energy. We are loved beyond our measure. May we measure out a little love ourselves to all who need it.

Blessings, and thank you to Our Father,

Richard

Hello beautiful people, the Harvard Study of Adult Development has been ongoing since 1938, 85 years so far. They have found one thing which correlates with health, and with happiness, and long life, and well-being – warm relationships with people. The relationships can be with a spouse, family members, friends, co-workers, or the clerk at the store. They all have positive impacts.

It can be seen as a physical manifestation of 'we are One'.

 
May we sit this evening in favor of these warm relationships. May they bring us peace. May we be at peace.

Love and Light to all,

Richard

Hello to all and sundry. ...I wrote that on a whim, then took a moment to look up 'sundry' – "Various items not important enough to be mentioned individually." It brought me to laughter because, in the grand scheme of Love we are each at the center of the universe.

 
We are all held in a Love which is beyond our ability to conceive it. Any particle of this love which we can spread to ourselves and others is beauty made manifest, as we are here to do.

May we sit this evening in grateful appreciation for how we are held, for how we manage to hold, and for what the future can bring.

Bless you all,

Richard
