Hello to the beautiful hearts of all. The intelligence of our hearts is not found in our emotions. Our emotions come from memories of, and thoughts about, our personal experiences, whether they be positive or negative. We guide our lives by this storehouse of thoughts and memories as we learn our way through this world.

But the intelligence of our hearts is our personalized extension of Universal Intelligence. It is our unbreakable connection to Source.

So we have a dilemma: We need our time-honored thoughts to be able to deal effectively with the physical world. Yet those same essential thoughts can be a distraction from hearing Universal Intelligence.

May we sit Sunday evening and simply let those thoughts subside. May we listen differently. May we hear our hearts speak.

With blessings for all,

Richard

A gracious hello to all. Einstein's E=mc2 is an elegant representation of how energy is condensed to create physical matter. We know that matter can be created and destroyed, but energy is constant. This tells us that the universe was created out of an astonishing abundance of energy – energy which already existed. I submit to you that condensing that energy required an intelligence far beyond our own to accomplish it, and a powerful motivating force to do so.

 
Could that be the Total Knowledge and Unconditional Love we've heard of so often?

May we sit tomorrow evening in awe. May we be open. May some miniscule moment of God's Will be done in and through us.

Submitted with reverence,

Richard

Hello good and wonderful people, let's consider the following. There is truly only One Consciousness. Our seemingly individualized consciousness is connected to it through our hearts. When something of spiritual note occurs, or is about to occur, or even needs a place to occur – our heart knows it first. Our heart signals our brain which, when in perfect tune, will immediately plan an appropriate response.

However, our brains are often scrambled with thoughts of the day, recycling of emotional situations, personal foibles, and dogmatic training.

 
If we can quiet our minds, even for a bit, we'll receive our heart's signals more clearly. Thereby, God's Will gets done through us. May we sit this evening listening to the beauty of our own hearts in tune.

Thank you all for absolutely everything,

Richard

Hello to everyone, history's great teachers tell us that what we need spiritually may be massively uncomfortable to endure. With all that's happening in the world right now it's important that we witness – 'be with' in our hearts – those who suffer, even if it's only for 20 minutes.

May our energies uphold them. May our hearts lighten theirs. May they feel we are one human family.

Bless you all,

Richard

Hello, loving people. According to Tom Sawyer's standard; at the time you successfully obtain a full meditative state, you will be functioning clairvoyantly and superluminally. Doing so would allow you to zero In on anything past or present, in any subject matter. And, it would be equivalent to a full fledged near death experience or spontaneous spiritual awakening. This is why meditation has been culturally and historically important for spiritual enlightenment.

Apparently, anything less than a full meditative state can be considered as practice. So let's practice.

May we sit this evening with the mental discipline required to release monkey mind as often as needed. We have something greater to attend to, and it calls us forward. May we answer lovingly.

Bless you all for all you do,

Richard
