Dear Friends,

Holy Week is here and Sunday is Easter, the day Jesus the Christ changed the world by rising up from death to show there is no death. Life is eternal.God through Jesus brought a new vision, new commandments and new understanding of God’s Love, Forgiveness and Will for all people.

Three verses come to mind.                                                                                               “I give to you a new commandment…Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.” John 13:34

 “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”Mark 12: 30-31

“Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” Luke 23:34

As humans we are here to unfold Spiritually, and learn from our mistakes.Jesus, as a brilliant teacher laid out what we are to do:

• Love and put God first
• Love everyone,
• Love ourselves,
• Forgive those who hurt us,
• Forgive ourselves for past mistakes and wrong doings,

Simply put, GOD LOVES us and we are to Love as GOD Loves. GOD FORGIVES us. We are to Forgive as GOD forgives.

All is meant to bless us. I mean ALL. When we are facing issues and heartaches with health, house, family, friends, let us put a blanket of LOVE around ALL people and situations including us. Call forth LOVE and watch GOD be God in the outcome. Miracles happen when you put God first, Love your neighbor as yourself and forgive all.

Let hurt and anger go. It no longer serves you. Our Master Teacher, Jesus the Christ, loved his torturers, forgave them and surrendered to his Highest Good!

HAPPY EASTER.

May you Rise in Love, Faith, Forgiveness and Peace,                                                        Abigail and Steve

Dear Friends,

We are in the Season for the Earth, a seasonal event co- created by the HH the Dalai Lama and the Association for Global New Thought under the guidance of our beloved and late Dr. Barbara Fields. What a wonderful time to focus our attention on Mother Earth and  begin some “sacred sowing,” as Jeffon Seely says in his article in the Science of Mind Magazine. He says,

“While preparing this garden bed, an insight struck me. This soil existed since the dawn of time. It carries the whispers of ancient stars and the essence of creation itself. The energy that enables these elements to exist has always been and always will be. The energy is the same Essence that not only empowers me to exist but also is behind all things. Simply put, in my interaction with this soil, I interact with the Divine.”

As the soil existed from the beginning of time, our ancestors came before us and were essential in creating who we are today.

Wherever we go, whomever we see and talk with, we are interacting with The Divine. The flower you bend down to smell is the Divine. The person you speak with is the Divine. The stars you wonder at, is the Divine. Everything in its essence has been here since the beginning of time.

How can we not be in awe of LIFE itself and everything in it.

• As you work in your home gardens, till the soil, water the seeds, can you take that experience and apply it to your own lives?
• Are you watering the seeds of your talents and gifts you bring into this world?
• Are you weeding out the negative thoughts, especially those instilled by others?
• Are you forgiving yourself, loving yourself and others to spring forth a glorious and splendorous YOU.

YOU are the Divine and your essence has existed since the beginning of time.

•  What seeds of potential will you choose to plant today?
• What will you intentionally and consciously grow?” ( Jeffon Seely)

Sacredly Sowing Seeds of Life,                                                                                         Abigail and Steve

Dear Friends,

During this Season of Lent I was guided to read the Beatitudes, the lovely Sermon on the Mount given by Jesus. Spirit through Jesus told us how to live our lives with love, and compassion. Enjoy the reading and the meaning of each verse.

“The main message of the Sermon on the Mount, found in Matthew chapters 5-7, is a call to a higher standard of righteousness and a life of love, compassion, and selflessness, embodying the “Kingdom of God” ethic. “(Bible Gateway)

Take these into your morning meditation and receive the blessings from them.

Blessed are the poor in spirit: theirs is the kingdom of heaven.                                       O how happy are they, who regardless of their circumstances, humbly remain in total alignment with the radiant center of the Holy Breath: they are open in all their capacities for the Great Outshining to pour through them everywhere.

Blessed are they that mourn; they shall be comforted.                                                     O happy are the ones who grieve in their longings and wanderings for whatever is lost, denied, isolated, excluded and hiding in themselves and in their relationships: they will be woven together in a larger whole; they will find new visibility of joy and welcoming: an expansion of ripeness, refreshment – the fulfillment of unifying love.

Blessed are the meek; they shall inherit the earth.                                                           O how attuned to the Holy Source are those who water and soften what is hard-hearted, dry and rigid in themselves: in their gentling they will receive new strength and expansion from the Holy Breath.

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness; they shall be filled.                                                                                                                             How healed are those with starving open mouths, completely dry and burned out, longing into the night for inward, social and universal peace and balance: they will be completely fulfilled and encompassed by feeding and fruitful birthing.

Blessed are the merciful; they shall obtain mercy.                                                            How united with the Holy Presence are those who from within the deep, dark depths of the womb respond by radiating the warmth of mercy, love and caring: they shall feel the warm embrace from the Holy Center.

Blessed are the pure in heart; they shall see God.                                                         How aligned with the Holy One are those who with purposeful persistence radiate love continuously and powerfully from their center: they shall behold like lightning the sudden flashing of the Holy One.

Blessed are the Peacemakers; they shall be called the children of God.                           How unified are the ones who are inwardly woven together and committed continuously to planting peace in the world by greeting others in ways that sound forth tones of harmony and establish mutual wellbeing: they shall be called cleared-out conduits and fountains – expressions of the flow of Divine Goodwill.

Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness sake; theirs is the kingdom of heaven.                                                                                                          Blessed are you, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.                                                                     How blessed are they who are dislocated, disrupted and torn apart, knocked out of their boundaries and comfort zones – shattered for doing their best for the Highest: spurs of adversity can expand them into new directions and light frequencies.

The explanation of the Beatitudes are from the The Holy Bible from Ancient Eastern Manuscripts (commonly called the Lamsa Bible) published by George M. Lamsa in 1933.
