For Sunday July 27th, 2025

Hello, and a gracious good day to all. We here in western cultures are inoculated with the concept of 'go out and do something' to fix difficulties in the world. Such heroic adventures are appropriate in their time and place, but not available to all. The ancient Polynesian principle of Ho'oponopono however, is available at any time.

 
Ho'oponopono is the opposite of 'go out and do' in that it means 'go inside and see'. Under the heading of "We Are All One" whatever difficulty you see beyond yourself is also within you somehow. Looking to find it, no matter how small, then releasing it will improve the world by exactly that much, and much more as time goes on.

You can also celebrate the beauty you see.

May we sit Sunday evening with an eye toward seeing ourselves clearly, on all sides. May we celebrate the beauty. May we release that which doesn't feed us. May we come to clarity and balance.

 
Thank you all,

Richard

Hello, beautiful seekers of love. The alchemists of old knew the entire cosmos was made of Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water, everything they could see and touch. Subsequent searching found chemicals, elements, atoms, particles, and finally quantum physics.

 
It may well be that we are in the alchemist stage of spiritual knowledge.

May we sit this evening aware that we are beginning – no matter where we are there is always more. We are far more capable than we know and our potential awaits. May we let go of everything we know this evening, and just be.

Bless you all,

Richard

Hello, glorious people. Tom Sawyer claimed that if you could love yourself half again as much as you do, you'd shine. Very cool. Now, how do you do that? It's so easy for us to recycle old hurts, mistakes, and failures, that we leave precious little time to feel a true self love.

But, have you ever watched a toddler manage to put on a sock by themselves? It might be the cutest thing you've ever seen – and we love them through all their difficulties; which end of the sock to open, trying to coordinate feet and hands, getting all our toes in at the same time. 

That's how spirituality sees us. We are loved straight through all of our trials and missteps.

May we sit this coming Sunday, and whenever needed, by seeing ourselves as a beloved toddler in the school of life. We have much to do, and we're applying ourselves fully to it, toddlers in our own time. And all of us very deserving of love.

Bless you all for all you do,

Richard

Hello, wonderful people. When we go into the highest of meditation we repent of the physical world. We go beyond the psychological mind with its judgements, thoughts, and imagery. We go into the larger mind beyond our typically known selves.

From such a place we can be of assistance to others.

May we sit this weekend making ourselves available to offer help, guidance, or solace to all those caught up in the Texas floods.

With reverence for all,

Richard
