Honoring Our Diversity, Celebrating Our Connection Together We Are One Honoring Our Diversity, Celebrating Our Connection Beloved, that is my wish for us.

Use Us for the Purpose Which Thy Wisdom Chooses

Use Us for the Purpose Which Thy Wisdom Chooses The Sufis have a prayer, “May the message of God spread far and wide.” And again they pray, “Use us for the purpose that Thy Wisdom chooses.” The Sufis have given us this, “Toward the One, United with all.” When repeated on the breath, It is called darood. Friend, Brother Lawrence Shared the bliss of his moment by moment Presencing of Christ’s Eternal Love and Compassion. This path calls me to Life. The Sufis say, “Die before you die.” Shams says,...

If Christ Be for Us

If Christ Be for Me If Christ be for us, Who then, can stand against us? Sadly, we can. Dear Friends, Creator has blessed us With the freedom to stand against ourselves. If, we find ourselves kneeling in prayer Before the Throne of Grace, And there remember that We are holding a grievance Against ourselves: Christ tells us, “Leave your gift with Creator; First, make peace with yourselves.” What!? How dare we attempt to reconcile, To forgive our own sin! Catch 33. We seek Creator’s forgiveness,... Sign in to see full entry.

Freedom

Freedom What if I told you Our understanding of the ‘human dilemma’ Has been solved. Judge for yourself. An Australian biologist Has proclaimed he has discovered The Secret! Amazingly, it is good news. What is the human dilemma? It is this: That we are capable of great goodness, And we are capapable of heinous wickedness. But why? This why is the subject of all religion. Philosophers from Plato to Kant have pondered. A new voice may have a redeeming answer. Decide for yourself, here. Shams says,... Sign in to see full entry.

Precious Memories

Precious Memories We are one hundred percent responsible For the memories we carry forward. We have the ability to erase a memory at will. Abilities must be exercised and honed. Try this, friend: Remember a painful time. Spend some time remembering the details. Now, ask yourself, “Is there anything of this memory that still serves me?” If not, let it go. “How”, you ask. Just say no thanks. When the memory appears again, Say, “Thanks, but no thanks.” Soon, you may find Old, useless programs... Sign in to see full entry.

t Silent Breath

t Silent Breath Dear friend, Ask yourself, “For how many breaths Can you sustain mental silence? Try it. I once heard Ram Das say, “If you can sustain this silence For a minute, You are a very high being. Try it again. Only this time, Let thoughts come and go, Like clouds passing overhead. Relax and merely watch. If captured by a thought train, Just exit at the station of awareness. Have you caught the blessings of this?
