Be at Peace

peace

Dear Friends,
    I have been drawn to the idea of PEACE these past few days. I was reading  about the breath in one of my favorite books, Spiritual Unfoldment.  It talked about breathing in the Breath of God and exhaling Love, Light and Peace  to the world, and to every living being. I also have a  rose on my meditation table that says, “Love is the Answer.” I know when I have a loving heart, I am at peace. And as I was pulling out my Christmas decorations and other decor, I hung up some guest finger towels that said “Peace.”  There are no coincidences. PEACE  was and is on my plate!
     During this time of year, what can be more important than to keep oneself at Peace, in heart, mind, soul and body.  With deep inner peace, there can only be openness and love.  The Beloved Jesus the Christ said,
“Peace I leave with you, Peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”
– John 14:27.
Today, as you sit, meditate, pray, and reflect, take in a deep cleansing breath then breathe deeply  bringing in all the Love and Peace of God.  As you exhale, send out the energy of Love, Peace, Joy, Forgiveness to all those who you love and those who you do not.   We must remember the Spark of God is within ALL people, not just a few.  As we see the good, the good emerges. Instead of wasting time on what you do not like, spend precious moments on what you do want, such as peace love, and goodness.
What we see and feel is what we get.  What do you want?  See it, feel it. LOVE it.  Be at Peace.
With Love  and Peace,

Be a Safe Haven

“To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something, If we remember those times and places – and there are so many – where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction. And if we do act, in however a small way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.”
-Howard Zinn, historian

Dear Friends,
I was blessed to attend a
“Love Your Neighbor Vigil” last week in Escondido.  It was hosted by the Escondido Clergy held at Maple Square Park.
This was a lovely sacred Vigil, led by Rev. Sharon Wylie from Chalice Unitarian Universalist Congregation with prayers from many faith traditions, candle lighting and singing about love, peace and joy.escondido-safety-pin
We also had the opportunity to pick a SAFETY PIN and wear it.  Wearing a Safety pin signifies, this person is a  SAFE person to be with. This person will stand up and respond to any harmful actions regardless of race, color, creed, religion, or gender.
This person is a SAFE HAVEN for All people.
I found out so many people already knew about this Safety Pin movement.  It has been on Facebook and many at the Interfaith Thanksgiving Service knew about it.  Some plan to creatively decorate their safety pins.  I wore mine to a dinner about the Syrian Refugee emergency.   A nun had a safety pin on and also had extra pins to pass out, which she did. I too am keeping extra pins in my purse to pass out when someone asks, “What is that pin for?”
If you have an extra safety pin, WEAR IT proudly to show your support. It will speak volumes for you!

Pray for America

Dear Friends,
At our “Pray for America” Labyrinth Walk we affirmed our:
Collective VISION for America

November 5th 2016

Steve 

I see America as a place where everyone can flourish and reach their highest level of good health, security, prosperity and JOY! I see everyone being treated as equals no matter what their race, creed, origin, sexual preference etc. I see everyone experiencing peace and safety in their homes, neighborhoods, cities, states and throughout America.

Chris 

I see America as a more unified, peaceful and prosperous country with a new awareness of caring for all. I see our new president as a person who is sensitive and aware of the needs of our country, and who can do what needs to be done to make the government work and to operate with the highest good in mind. I ask that our leaders be lifted to a higher, finer vibration of powerful insight, compassion, intelligence and love in order to take our country in a direction that will benefit not only the U.S., but the world. I pray that our new president, and our government, will work together peacefully and successfully for the good of all. I pray that whatever happens, all Americans will unite in peace, brotherhood, and that the children of America will inherit a highly functional, renewed government.

Nancy
I see all people being taken care of – food, shelter, medical needs. People who have experienced earthquakes, floods, hurricanes etc. will be helped by our government. All children will have access to medical attention, schools and food. America will consider all of its citizens to be equal. Americans will show compassion to each other without regard to race or economic status. Americas will respect each other’s religions. Americans will help and honor each other and treat each other with dignity and respect.

Americans will look for the good in each other. Americans will look each other in the eye and honor our differences and what we have in common. We are all connected.

Angel Joan

I see America filled with loving people, each having a happy home and family of their choice. Each American feels safe and secure and has enough income for a comfortable life. Each American is peaceful within themselves.

Lee

I see an America that feels safe where everyone knows they have what they need to be healthy, and have all the opportunities to grow and become the perfect unique expression to be the person they are meant to be. Every person will be equally important but uniquely different. America will offer its’ citizens the best G-D intends for all humanity to become. We will be partners in a global fellowship where every country has equal opportunities for its’ citizens to be free and safe All will want the best for their unique fulfillment.

Abigail
I see America as a country with leaders of integrity that want what is best for the highest good of ALL people, regardless of race, culture, creed, faith, gender or sexual orientation. I see America leading the world with programs that help our environment, feed the hungry in the USA and abroad. I see America initiating peace with Divine solutions. I see America’s leaders go past political affiliation, Republican or Democrat, and collaborate on what is the highest good for all. I see America’s leaders and people lead with heart, integrity, purity of intent, fairness, graciousness and kindness.
I see America with leaders and people who respect the views and beingness of women and children, ethnic and poor. All Americans are visible and heard.

What is YOUR Vision for America?
Write it down,
Speak it out,
Feel it in your heart.
Release it with love as a ripple across our 
glorious nation.

“You are one thing only. You are a Divine Being. An all-powerful Creator. You are a Deity in jeans and a t-shirt, and within you dwells the infinite wisdom of the ages and the sacred creative force of All that is, will be and ever was.”
-Anthon St. Maarten,
pray-for-our-country
Dear Friends,
The election is close and it is very important at this time to keep our consciousness high, see the Good, the Best, the Highest Purpose and stay away from the lower conscious drama.  Join us this Saturday as we Vision God’s Highest Ideal for the USA.
We will pray, meditate and walk the mystical labyrinth.  Dr. Ernest Holmes says:
“Life is a mirror and will reflect back to the thinker what he thinks into it.”
As we begin to declare the Vision we have for our United States of America, we think it, say it, vision it, draw it, journal it and embody it as a loving reality. What we put out into the world, does come back to us.
We are living boomerangs so we must continue to keep the High Watch and Be the High Watch.  A collective voice of High Conscious Watchers is more powerful than the  crazy drama  we hear and see in the papers and on TV.
God’s purpose for ALL is good, good and very good. Let us remember Divine Order is perfect and that the Love essence of God is in each and everyone of us.
In my meditations I keep getting the message,
“LOVE is the Answer.” Love has always been the answer to every challenge, every health issue, and any other irritations or anxieties we may have.
Jesus the Christ, was all about Love.  That was His mission. Love God, love yourself, love one another, love your enemies. Gandhi was all about Love. Buddha was all about Love.  All the Masters and Avatars keep telling us it is ALL ABOUT LOVE.
What if we imagined baskets of love and light, like a continual stream of pure Divine essence flowing over and through situations, people, leaders, hot spots in the world and watching the dirt, fear, anger, misery, divisiveness, terror, hurt simply fall away “into the nothingness from which it came.” We have been given the power of mind to create this scenario. What we put out, creates a new reality. It comes back to us as living love and light in our own lives
We are the emanations and  emissaries of God.  Time for us to step up and bring in the transformation of consciousness.  Let us BE who we are meant to be and BE the change we wish to see.
We are the ones we have been waiting for!!!
AFFIRMATION
I am Love
I am Light
I am One and Connected with All
I know this truth for myself
and all beings.
