A Blessing of Liberation:
LORD, WE do ask for your blessing, extending through as a gift.
As those who extend in your purpose to express your blessings, we ask that you visit each of us personally at this time, to work with us in our relationship to this world.
We ask that you bring your great Light that is the Holy Spirit, through the one we know as Lord of us all, to sit down with us, to visit us where we live, to look in every corner, every aspect of what we…

Finding God in Haiti: Compassion and Justice
By Rabbi Joshua Levine - Pasadena Jewish Temple
Jan 22, 2010 - 4:33:27 PM
In teaching my 6th grade class this morning at Weizmann Day School, I decided to talk about Haiti and theology. In searching for answers about why such a terrible thing happens to innocent people, there is a tendency to blame God, challenge God and question what good is religion or prayer if such horrible things can come to bring such…

We are all expressions of Spirit. The Soul is Spirit individualized, manifesting through the physical body on this plane. There is nothing so sacred, so enduring, and so lasting as the God in each person's heart. So fill your heart with the beingness of love, and let it flow like you have never let it flow before.
- John-Roger

Our images withdraw, the rose returns
To what it was before we looked at it.
We lift our look from where the water runs
And it's pure river once again, we write
No emblems on the trees. A way begins
Of living where we have no need to beat
The petals down to get the scent of rose
Or sign our features where the water goes.
All is itself. Each man himself entire,
not even plucking out his thoughts, not even
Bringing a tutored willfulness to…

DECREE OF ABUNDANCE
From The Light of God that I Am.
From The Love of God that I Am.
From The Power of God that I Am.
From The Heart of God that I Am.
I Decree-
I dwell in the midst of Infinite Abundance. The Abundance of God is my Infinite Source.
The River of Life never stops flowing. It flows through me into lavish expression. Good comes to me through unexpected avenues and God works in a myriad of ways to bless… Continue

BETTER trust all and be deceived,
And weep that trust and that deceiving,
Than doubt one heart that, if believed,
Had blessed one's life with true believing.
Oh, in this mocking world, too fast
The doubting fiend o'ertakes our youth;
Better be cheated to the last
Than lose the blessed hope of truth.

The
Heart is right to cry
Even when the small drop of light,
Of love
Is taken away.
Perhaps you may kick,moan, scream
In a dignified
Silence,
But you are so right
To do so in any fashion
Until God returns
To
You.

Midnight, and a messenger comes from a prayer niche,
someone as quiet as moonlight,
yet with a torch that burns our sleeping.
A king knocks on the doorkeeper's door
and laughing, leads everyone out to a table.
Our lips tremble at the cup, with the same trembling
as a drop of mercury.
The gentleness of the host is the same
as that that made the elegance of the ermine.
The dry and wet of a love affair,
those tears are…

Grace is God's formless form, or the essence.
Behind everyone who is negative is a crying out for love and understanding. Behind every accusation is a cry for help.
If we look through grace, we look at supplying the wherewithal for the person to move out of their imprisonment which is the law, into the formless, which is their living, loving, caring, and sharing of the beauty and the gratefulness of life.
That includes God in all of its wisdom, and all of its…

If over 50% of your brain believes something, it will become your reality. This can happen in ordinary life by enough saturation of faith, or by waking up the brain.When your brain is woken to over 50% every thought will manifest as your
reality. This is done by being drawn, by inductive resonance, to the timeline corresponding to the thought or faith.
"If you have the faith of a mustard seed and say to this mountain move it shall be moved." You go to the timeline where the mountain…

God said:
You crave possessions when I have given you the sky and a vast horizon. I have given you the Earth and stars and a blazing sun and white moon. I have given you grass and flowers and mud and sand. I have given you oceans and beaches and stones and rocks and hot and cold. I have given you all kinds of food to eat or to spit out. I have given you eyes to see, and ears to hear, and a mouth to kiss with. Beloveds, what have I left out of the Creation that I gave to you? I sent…

THE night has a thousand eyes,
The day but one;
Yet the light of the bright world dies
With the dying sun.
The mind has a thousand eyes,
And the heart but one;
Yet the light of a whole life dies
When its love is done.

As you start to walk out on the way,
the way appears.
As you cease to be,
true life begins.
As you grow smaller,
this world cannot contain you.
you will be shown a being
that has no you in it.

The following passage is a healthy prescription of how we can approach life. It is not about being famous or being wealthy or about our good looks. Truly, it is all about love. There are times when we feel as if we are separated from the rest. This illusion creates a mental prison. Hence, we should strive to internally liberate ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living things.
"Open…

I am the Christmas spirit!
I enter the home of poverty, causing
pale faced children to open their eyes wide,
in pleased wonder.
I cause the miser's clutched hand to re-
lax, and thus point a bright spot on
his soul.
I cause the aged to renew their youth
and to laugh in the old, glad way.
I keep romance alive in the heart of
childhood, and brighten sleep with
dreams woven of magic.
I cause eager feet to…

TODAY, LORD, HELP ME TO ACCEPT MYSELF THE WAY I am, without judgment. Help me to accept my mind the way it is, with all my emotions, my hopes and dreams, and my unique personality. Help me to accept my body the way it is, with all its beauty and perfection.
Today, Lord, clean my mind of emotional poison and self-judgment, so that I can live in peace and love. Let the love for myself be so strong that I never again reject myself or sabotage my happiness and personal freedom. Let me…
