Hello fellow seekers, J. Krishnamurti tells us the word 'seeking' implies that we have lost something and intend to find it. And that when we find it we'll be able to recognize it and, if we can recognize it that means – we've already known it.

So we're not so much seeking as recovering what has previously been known to us.

Can we sit so still as to look deeply, clearly into our spiritual beginnings? Can we uncover any degree of that which has been displaced? May we sit this Sunday evening toward that beautiful effort.

Blessings upon us all,

Richard

Hello to all, we're told that if we face the Light, the shadows of our burdens will fall behind us. However, constantly facing the Light can take some serious searching of our hearts, as we're all susceptible to human foibles.

Being human we are astonishingly good at justifying anything to ourselves, even in the face of 'love one another'. This is why scrupulous discernment is essential when spiritual progress is our goal.

May we sit Sunday evening in observance, and releasing of, our human foibles. And in remembrance of this – once we're in the Light, there are no shadows.

Blessings on us all,

Richard

Hello beautiful people, drawing on the work of Dr. Charles Whitfield in his book Healing the Child Within we learn that people from dysfunctional families are not broken but more accurately are wounded. Rather than needing to be 'fixed' they need to heal.

 
To be honest, we all have something we need to heal from. As we heal we become better healers ourselves, sometimes simply by our presence. And, we need not be fully healed to do this beautiful work. We can still be very helpful by coming from a 'place of healing' and letting spirit guide us when healing is needed for others.

 
May we sit this evening to find that 'place of healing' within us. By setting aside our personal foibles for just a bit, we may well be exactly what others need.

 
May all be well,

Richard

Hello to all, peace on the world stage is described as being the absence of conflict. Yet this peace is maintained by conflict, whether it's military might, financial requirements, or political influence. All of these are forms of conflict – peace enforced upon divided peoples from external sources.

 
In personal terms, to have peace one has to live peacefully. Personal peace comes from Oneness, of there being no divisions or competitions between people to begin with.

May we sit this evening for our own personal peace. May we see others as ourselves. May we create the peace which is ours to own.

 
Bless you all,

Richard
