Oh Kitty! -rjs

O H – K I T T Y !!!

He took the poor little kitty by the scruff of the neck and immersed her in the cold, cold river repeatedly!!!

Oh, did I forget to mention that she had fallen into quicksand and was drowning? Simply getting kitty out and leaving her to lick off a complete multi-covering of mud would not have saved her life!

He didn’t pause to think whether kitty would like being dunked in the frigid river. First he got her out, then clean and warm and fed.

But we – o lofty mortals – we think we always know the best way for ourselves, don’t we? What feels good to the five senses? What gets us what we want instantaneously? How can we avoid like the plague – or mud – our exertion of a modicum of effort?

Btw, Kitty wound up falling in love with her “captor”. We can learn to do likewise because merely titillating our senses does not translate to happening upon enlightenment.

Reincarnation: yes or no? -rjs

R E I N C A R N A T I O N : Y E S . O R . N O ?

Why does one teacher, Herb Fitch, vehemently maintain that reincarnation is entirely and categorically unreal and then expend much time, effort and skillfully researched thought on its description, its function and purpose in the very life of mankind?

Here’s why. Reincarnation is part and parcel of the much greater hypnotic sham perpetrated upon the human race. The seemingly insurmountable false belief besieges everyone that it can: such is the function of hypnotism.

We have all bought into the belief of incarnation, haven’t we? We get up in the morning, have our java, brush our teeth, do our chores, get sick, die. Start again and again. And again until we finally wake up.

Herb wants us all to wake up now. We don’t have to keep trying and trying and trying to get it right, only to expire once again. Awakening catapults us out of here! That’s right, we can leave before our number is up. I can’t think of anything more important we could put on the table than our own personal burning desire to finally, once and for all, completely, without equivocation, wake entirely up!

BRING TO REMEMBRANCE -rjs

BRING . TO . REMEMBRANCE

When I ponder
God’s Omnipresence
Omniscience and Omnipotence
There are times my mind is
Instantaneously freed to soar
And sing of His glories.
Other times, not so much.

Times I need to feel
His closeness, gently speaking
To the child of me,
Until I once again see:
The Christ in me
IS me
And I am He.

Abba, Papa, God in me
Speak in Divine wordlessness.
Calmly bring to remembrance
Your infinitude, Life and Love
Oneness, Allness, Is-ness,
I Am, Spirit and Soul,
The world knows not of.

HEALING. FROM. A. MULTIDIMENSIONAL. PERSPECTIVE -rjs

HEALING. FROM. A. MULTIDIMENSIONAL. PERSPECTIVE

Taking a look at HEALING from a multidimensional perspective, our imaginations may be drawn to places where time and space is of no event. We can romp about effortlessly and see our Father’s creation from the vantage point of spiritual reality. We don’t “know” – as in, squeeze our brains to eke out a modicum of self-assurance; but we KNOW that God is all around and all through us and that we’re living our eternal life right now.

Here comes the rub. We have to go back to our little material, disease-laden, ego-driven, accident-prone lives, don’t we? My vote is on ‘No, we don’t!’
Why should we go back and deny everything that we’ve learned to be true about God? Go back and resume our hurting, hating and suffering? Why not stay in full conscious awareness of our ONENESS with God? Why not remember that we are located behind our eyes and that’s why we see perfectly. We hear with the hearing of Christ, which never has to wane. The Holy Spirit breathes through us; we’re filled and we send His love out to the world.

We see “the world” quite a bit differently by now, and what a beautiful sight it is! We no longer have issues, for they have vanished. Everyone we can possibly bring to our consciousness – past, present and future – receives an holy kiss, and is joyfully blessed. Amen.

Healing how to’s -rjs

For effective HEALING
Don’t think there’s nothing
You can do.

“OPEN ME” is all about
Wanting to be shown
How to think.

How to feel, how to see,
How to dis-cover
How to love.

Have you ever had upsetment
In your body, and none
In your heart?

Hatred in the mind translates
As surely as a December morn
To hurt-red in your soul.

Wanna know HOW TO love
Absolutely everyone? Leave
The realm of duality.

Opt for the resplendent realm
Where there’s only Spirit, God,
Healing and love.

Feeling this thing called meh -rjs

I WAS FEELING THIS THING CALLED “MEH”, coupled with a little symptomatic stuff, kinda yukky. Began to wonder how to get instantaneous healing, regeneration, joy, when PAPA (Abba) said “Breathe!” I replied that I was planning to anyway. He said “hehehe, now breathe!” I took in a nice loooooong breath (just one) and I felt love and joy and excitement and healing – all coming in and utterly replacing the former junk. There was no prayer of petition, no asking, no nothing. I just listened and there it was!!!

Why do you criticize? -rjs

Why do you
Always criticize
Absolutely
Everything?
Obviously,
You’re criticizing
Things you have
No knowledge of.
If you knew
What the person
Really meant –
You’d be humbled.
Instead you
Rail against
All fresh revelation
And creativity…
Why not kiss the joy
As it flies and
Live in eternity’s
Sunrise?
