For Sunday September 28th, 2025

Hello, beautiful souls. Once in a while I hit upon something which registers with people. It has been suggested that I repeat this one occasionally. So here it is: 

In the grand picture we wish for the enlightenment of humanity. In the immediate picture we wish for a spiritual upgrade of ourselves. As with so many things, the two are one and the same.

 
There is no way to separate an upgrade of ourselves from that of humanity. We are a piece of that humanity. Each time we say a kind word, share an honest smile, or reach out in compassion to someone in dis-ease, we do our part to enlighten all. It's that simple.

 
May we sit this evening for the forbearance to continue our own spiritual unfoldment amongst the many distractions of life. The end result will be worth it, and perhaps the immediate too.

Bless you all,

Richard

Hello again, beautiful people. We each have our individual parts to play in this amazing and difficult transition from worldly, material consciousness to heart-centered spiritual awareness. Every piece of the puzzle matters.

 
Spiritually, the path is more important than the destination. So it's not only the fullness of your life which matters, it's every piece of your life.

May we sit this even to know what the next right thing, the next loving thing, is for us to attend to. Each may be different. Each is essential. Each one is part of the whole. May we apply ourselves to the fullness of our lives.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello again to all in this beautiful and troubled world. Those who are attached to external power continue to cling ever tighter to various methods of control; narration, intimidation, and actual violence. But, if you trust in the intelligence of the heart, you are encouraged to take a breath, relax, and observe.

 
We are told there will be atrocities; "For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven." The question we're left with is, where do we put our energies? There are a variety of answers, all individual.

Speaking truth to power with clarity; Ho'oponopono; prayer and meditation; and simply observing without internal comment are all available and effective in their ways.

May we sit this evening to find our personal responses to the difficulties of this world. May we be guided by compassionate intelligence. May we find the strength and courage to face the world as it is and move ourselves forward.

With blessings for all,

Richard

Just for the beauty of it...

This video was recently shared with me by a friend. It's Carl Jung's expansive teachings on the concepts of: 

Chop wood, Carry water,

Rice and Bowl

Follow Your Bliss

Listen to Your Heart

As Above, So Below

and probably other condensed teachings which aren't coming to mind right now.

Sorry about the AI sounding voice.

Enjoy,

Richard

Hello, beautiful people. As we know, when we touch someone's hand honestly from the heart, or connect through the eyes, we are transforming something from the spiritual into the material of this world.

 
Such manifestations change the world. It is the alchemy of the heart.

May we sit this Sunday being aware of the beauty which can be brought forth, another piece of 'As Above, So Below' come true.

Reverently offered,

Richard

Hello everyone, following the advice of Eileen Lindsay I'm reposting the meditation which was so late last week. It's worth a try, eh?

In the grand picture we wish for the enlightenment of humanity. In the immediate picture we wish for a spiritual upgrade of ourselves. As with so many things, the two are one and the same.

 
There is no way to separate an upgrade of ourselves from that of humanity. We are a piece of that humanity. Each time we say a kind word, share an honest smile, or reach out in compassion to someone in dis-ease, we do our part to enlighten all. It's that simple.

 
May we sit this evening for the forbearance to continue our own spiritual unfoldment amongst the many distractions of life. The end result will be worth it, and perhaps the immediate too.

Bless you all,

Richard

Hello, gorgeous seekers. During this transitionary period it well behooves us to see all people equally, which is not always easy. So, here's a thought to assist us with connecting: whenever you meet someone you are not meeting a person with opinions, viewpoints, emotions, and attitudes. You are meeting a human soul who is having that experience.

It's a difficult thing they've chosen to do. They've chosen it as a learning experience, which will last an entire lifetime for heaven's sake. Therefore, for having such courage, they are very deserving of your love.

May we sit this Sunday with the understanding that everyone is having their own experience, and doing so in a difficult time. And, by the way, you are deserving of your love too. In such a difficult time as this, thank you for being here.

With love and blessings for all,

Richard

Hello beautiful bringers of Light. We can spend a lot of time chasing after the peripheral results of spiritual enlightenment; psychic phenomenon, bilocation, the 'clairs', and any number of things. However, we're also told that we are our greatest teachers. How does this occur?

As explained in the included video, it's in the small nudges we get, sometimes on a daily basis. We have to learn to discern the difference between our psychological whims and our intuitive nudges. It's not always easy but is worth exploring.

May we sit this Sunday being aware of ourselves, again. May we find our way through our foibles. May we progress intuitively and with grace.

Bless you all on your paths,

Richard

Hello, summertime people. We have Tom Williams, Mary McFee, and Amphianda Baskett to bless from our hearts this evening. May it be more than well for all of us.

Thank you everyone,

For Sunday August 3rd, 2025

Hello again, earthly travelers. We're told the reason we lost immediate contact with Source is because we began thinking. Thinking is a process of bringing up past experiences, often in an effort to look forward, thereby creating the construct of time and space.

 
Neither the past nor the future is of the now, and now is the realm of Source.

For us to reconnect with Source we must set aside our impulse to think which is not easy for us, but is worth the effort. It's part of fulfilling the ancient prophecy, "As Above, So Below."

This evening, may we sit once more toward recognizing the process of thought. May we see it clearly enough to set it aside and find our truer selves.

Thank you,

Richard

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
