For Sunday June 21st, 2020

Hello to all of you, the most popular prayer in all of Christianity begins with the words, "Our Father..." If you forgive the patriarchal attitudes of the ancient writers you can see they mean, "Our Source..." stated as a lovingly parental relationship.

That parental relationship encodes our greatest gift. As horses give birth to horses and cows give birth to cows we, being the offspring of Divine Spirit, must have the spark of Divinity within us too.

As we grow to spiritual adulthood, with Omnipotent Wisdom as our guide, we come to see that spark of Divine Truth not only within ourselves but more expansively as well.

May we sit this evening with our focus upon this understanding; we are the beloved offspring of Divine Spirit. And; we are growing stumblingly into our spiritual fullness – as is every other human being on Earth.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello to everyone, this calming benediction is welcome in turbulent times, "The sun holds all the planets in orbit, yet it will ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else to do." - Galileo

It is ours to do whatever comes to hand, but we can be at ease with a sense of a greater power overseeing all.

May we sit this evening to open ourselves to that greater power. May it inform our hearts. May we be the ripening grapes.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello everyone, we're getting a front row seat for the unfolding conflict between those who believe in external power belonging in the hands of a few select people or groups and those who are beginning to recognize the emergence of authentic power, the power of the human heart. 

Looting, rioting, para-military groups, and heavy handed police tactics all fall under the heading of 'external power' – the reliance upon any form of force which comes from outside of ourselves, whether it be political, financial, military, material based, or psychological manipulation.

Authentic power is the power of the human heart. Authentic power seeks connection, communication, empathy, understanding, and tolerance. It moves us toward Oneness.

May we sit this evening to see ourselves clearly. May we recognize our own human foibles, have patience with others, find a path to full connection, and finally – realize there are no 'others'.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello to everyone, 2020 is shaping up to be a year of change. In many ways we are being given the opportunity to bring the best of humanity face to face with the worst of humanity. Whether we're facing people's reactions to an impersonal virus or a very personal death, the question remains the same – what can we bring to this?

We may know immediately, or it may take some searching, but the answers are always in the same place, our hearts. Recognizing first, then looking beyond our own psychological responses of anger, sadness, numbness, despair, etc, may bring us to new perspectives. We won't know until we try.

May we sit Sunday evening for further perspectives, greater awareness, and perhaps enlightening insights. May we find out best and bring it forth, that we may be the change.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello to all of you, the pianist Sergei Rachmaninoff said that he could tell if he skipped even one day of practice; if he skipped two days of practice his critics could tell; and if he skipped three days of practice, his audience could tell. It may well be the same with prayer. 

It has been said that prayer consists of four parts, starting with:
Wonder – being in awe, humbled at the greatness, your mind and heart opened
Appreciation – thankfulness, gratitude for lessons and for what is
Forgiveness – humility, the sense of at-one-ment, desire to make things right again
Petition – to request, to ask for, whether for self or others

We focus on Sundays and Tuesdays, but let us also give some time each day to these things. May we be the change we wish to see.

Thank you all,

Richard

For Sunday May 17th, 2020

Hello everyone, here's a story: A young boy sought to trick the 'wise one' of the village. The boy had caught a bird and was holding it in his cupped hands. "I'll ask the wise one if it's alive or dead," planned the boy. "If the answer is 'dead' I'll release it to fly away. If the answer is 'alive' I'll..." The wise one appeared just then. The boy asked his question as the wise one gazed kindly at him. Gently touching the boy's shoulder the wise one answered, "It's life is in your hands."

So it goes with each moment of our lives. Spiritual responsibility is not avoided by clever manipulations. 

May we sit this Sunday to be aware of ourselves, to see how we treat others, and to be as kind as we can be to our very own selves during these challenging times.

With Blessings for all,

Richard

For Sunday May 10th, 2020

Hello everyone, in his book "Living Your Divine Life" Orest Bedrij writes, "...if you are a majestic Giant Sequoia tree you should live the life of a majestic Giant Sequoia tree; if you are a magnificent bald eagle you should live the life of a magnificent bald eagle. Conversely, since "You are the light of the world" (Matt 5:14) you should live and help others to live the life we were all meant to live – as "the light of the world.""

May we sit this evening for us to somehow, someway, sometime, be 'the light of the world' for ourselves and for others as well.

Thank you all,

Richard

For Sunday May 3rd, 2020

Hello everyone, we're told that for most of it's existence humanity has been up against nature. Now however, there is a greater challenge. Given the current state of the world we can now see that humanity is up against it's own nature. Perhaps this will help.

Give me a pure heart – that I may see Thee,
A humble heart – that I may hear Thee,
A heart of love – that I may serve Thee,
A heart of faith – that I may abide in Thee.
- Dag Hammarskjold

May we treat the sicknesses of the world by healing ourselves. May we pray for those who provide us with our greatest challenges. May we forgive ourselves our basic humanness.

Thank you all,

Richard

For Sunday April 26th, 2020

Greetings to all, we are told that God is necessary to us that we may exist, and that we are necessary to God that God may manifest to Itself. We, and the entire wacky journey we are on, are how God knows Itself, proves Itself to Itself.

With this we understand that each and every one of us are part of an expression of God, some more lost, some more found, but all are on a path of the full manifestation of God.

May we sit this Sunday for the realization that everyone we meet has Divinity within them. Everyone single person we meet is showing us some personal facet of The Path. And therefore, everyone we meet is more essential than we can grasp. With this awareness may we find our way through this life as though moving among incomparable jewels.

Thank you all,

Richard

For Sunday April 19th, 2020

Hello to everyone, the lessons which push us into a more heart-felt existence are numerous. And sometimes, when our attachment to material gains and external power is great, the lessons can become quite harsh to endure. 

As lessons go, this virus is merciful. There is much we can do to mitigate it, and to learn from it. It is far less painful than nuclear war or massive geologic upheavals. 

May we take time this evening to review ourselves. What are our attachments? Where are our hearts? How can we make a movement toward the Oneness which calls to us all?

Thank you,

Richard

For Sunday April 12th, 2020

Hello to all, in a very timely manner this virus is providing us with a liberation and a rebirth; it forcefully exposes the weaknesses in our society – and beauty shines through with the incredible strength of courage and compassion in individuals. 

In keeping with this season of light overcoming darkness let us see the light in ourselves, recognize the light in others, and take in the incredible beauty still to be found in the world at large.

May we sit this evening with our hearts open. May we be the recipients of spiritual beauty. And from there, may we shine.

Thank you all for all you do,

Richard

Donna Spring Gulick's Channeling on Coronavirus

Channeling on Coronavirus

 

Donna's Prayer: Allness of God, Angels & Guides who serve the Christ Light, I am open to receive info on the Coronavirus as it now is displaying on Earth, and as it is progressing.  What do we need to know – as humanity and as individuals and families?

 

"My precious Ones, first of all, Coronavirus too is a life form.  Strengthen your own life forms, your bodies. Use mushrooms, herbs, homeopathics and inner-peace to boost your immune systems. Yes, people get sick and some die. But no one dies unless they either want out of this Earth-life, or the death of their body at this time fits their soul's needs, goals and service.

 

Fear decreases your immunity; so ask what you need to do to be happy on Earth, to serve, to love and to be thankful. Creativity boosts your immunity, so does singing, laughing and even smiling.  All these emotions increase your immunity and decrease your symptoms if you do get sick. Trust your soul; it is wise and all-seeing in choosing your path. Whatever that path is – you are right where you need to be.

 

The most important vitamin you can take is thankfulness and appreciation of the little blessings in every moment. What flower is blooming in front of you? What tiny bug shows vitality to admire? What rocks in your gravel shine with beauty? What sharing with stranger or friend – a smile – a helper on the phone – a blessing you had not expected - will come your way today? In the evening, it is wise to reflect on these gifts – shared over dinner or in prayer at bedtime.

 

How global will the virus become? Of course it will spread, and people will get sick. Will it cause massive deaths like the plague? No, though numbers can be presented to sound that way now that statistics show world-wide effects. Remember that treatment for diseases in China is not equal to treatment in countries with better medical systems. Nations with complex health grids offer advanced medical care. They are preparing even now to supply the facilities and needed medicines and oxygen for the very sick.

 

Remind yourself that the news exists to promote readership, not to provide calming meditations or sometimes, not even common sense.

 

We suggest you read trusted scientific and medical sources about prevention and treatment of this flu virus that put it in the context of modern medicine, as differing from the historical perspective of the early 1900's and before. Prediction, by anyone, emphasizes one possible path, not a certain future. Our other suggestion is to counter the news on illness by reading uplifting writing that makes your spirit happy.

 

So, dear Ones, life is full of change, always. This virus and its effects, as countries and states quarantine themselves, brings changes. Accepting change is a spiritual practice in itself. What choices can you make when small and large changes happen in your life? What circumstances require faith in your soul's journey and love instead of fear? Make your choices mindfully, intuitively, rather than fearfully. You are one with the Light and with Love, and you do know what will help you most.

 

Thank you for listening. Your Light shines brightly, and humanity plus all other consciousness on Earth needs that Light. In the next week or two, Donna will follow this message with a channeling on ways to transform fear. We send you love and thankfulness for being you."

 

Note from Donna: If you wish to receive the next channeling, please reply to this email at donnaspringgulick@gmail.com The Guidance will be on Antidotes to Fear when it Arises. Will there be further channelings on subjects that open our hearts and bring fresh air through the windows of our souls? I don't yet know. In the likelihood that such messages may be available intermittently, please let me know whether to keep you on the mailing list or not. If this message went into your Promotions box, and if you want occasional further channelings, add my address from this email to your Contacts, so it goes into your primary inbox.  Thank you.

 

 Meanwhile, I send Love, Peace and Blessings,

 

Donna

For Sunday April 5th, 2020

Hello to everyone, Edgar Cayce urges us, "If each and every disappointment, each and every condition that arises, is used as a stepping-stone for better things and looking for it and expecting it, then there will still be continued the optimism."

The coronavirus has much to teach us: about the value of truth; what is true leadership; the need to work together cohesively; that we are all physically connected; that what was considered 'normal' was spiritually lost; that human compassion is essential in life; that disasters are often spiritually cleansing – by reminding us of what truly matters.

In the difficulties we now face and in the greater ones to come, may we face our personal challenges with an open heart, and gain a greater perspective.

May we sit this Sunday for the courage and honesty to face whatever may come to us. May we be the light we know the world needs. May we take appropriately healthy care of ourselves so we may take care of others. 

Thank you all,

Richard
