Hello All,

Glad to be with you. As usual, I've just been seeking, exploring, working my "day job," and creating some art along the way. I pray that your adventures have been likewise enlightening and fruitful, my friends! I've been making more time again for music, meditation, writing, fun, family, and friendships. It appears that these things and more contribute greatly to my sense of happiness and well-being. Also, I'm bringing a new piano into my home! I've been hurting for a real instrument to play for quite some time now(!!) Yet, my work is settling into stride, and still there are "miles to go before I sleep." ;) We are on a sacred jourey--a "trial trip in the flesh--" I know that much. As per usual, I just thought I would try to lay out a few written lines to express my recent wanderings, wonderings, and musings......

Every man and woman's path takes courage, integrity, truth-hunger, and conviction. At least, this is what I'd like to believe. There is no quest more important than living in harmony with the loving will of the Infinite God. My mind, body, and spirit strive, by sincere faith and free-will choice, to grasp and to understand His eternal truth, beauty, and goodness. The very search for a Higher Self and true values is in themselves capacity enlarging!

"By their fruits, you shall know them." -Jesus Christ.

Slowly, but with faith alone, it appears that we human beings--relative, imperfect, and finite--are awakening to the fact that we are the planetary children of God. What is God you might ask me? God is Love. IT IS THAT SIMPLE. I believe we are IN REALITY progressing closer and closer to this perfect truth of our divine origin by way of connecting with greater and greater spheres of Love. Even if we fail, stutter, or fall down along the way; it's all essential to our progressive experience of growth. A sincere thirst for the truth will be quenched by the eternal Water of Life, the free-flowing spirit, and its myriad streamings of the soul. I know there is an everlasting spirit which I call God, and it indwells all men, for God is Spirit too! I pray to be guided by the Almighty and Infinite Spirit of Love.

"Cosmic Love is relentless and absolutely indifferent -- it teaches you its lessons whether you like/dislike them or not," John Lilly affirmed. Will I rise to meet the challenges the universe has set me with love, courage, and sincere faith? Or will I simply give into my animal nature, procrastinate until the last minute, and only do whatever seems easiest in order to survive? There are choices, and we can grow and learn from our trials and errors, by the grace of God. We must acknowledge this divine gift of Sonship, embrace all of humankind as our brothers in the spiritual sense, and invest our talents wisely in the duties of kingdom life, loving service, and fellowship in the name of the Living God. "Freely have you received, freely give."

"The living Jesus is the only hope of a possible unification of Christianity. The true church--the Jesus brotherhood--is invisible, spiritual, and is characterized by unity, not necessarily by uniformity. Uniformity is the earmark of the physical world of mechanistic nature. Spiritual unity is the fruit of faith union with the living Jesus. The visible church should refuse longer to handicap the progress of the invisible and spiritual brotherhood of the kingdom of God. And this brotherhood is destined to become a living organism in contrast to an institutionalized social organization. It may well utilize such social organizations, but it must not be supplanted by them. The call to the adventure of building a new and transformed human society by means of the spiritual rebirth of Jesus' brotherhood of the kingdom should thrill all who believe in him as men have not been stirred since the days when they walked about on earth as his companions in the flesh."
-The Urantia Book

The Truth liberates; it shall set you free. I pray that the the loving will of God eternally guides you into glory and peace. Jesus is a living and loving spirit and He appears with many names and faces as you progress through this whole universe scheme. O how the Spirit moves you, loves you. The Kingdom is wide-open, my friends! But still it holds true, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few."

I read a prayer from another Brother online that moved me this morning:
"may the Father's escort be ever welcome in our minds and hearts . . . may I grow in depth and perspective to identify ever increasingly with the mystery monitor's vision of me . . . may I relinquish my childish habits and remain childlike in my awe and worship of the divine ; may today's practice of mercy, justice and love be one step closer to our inspired ideals, may our minds migrate one service closer to being of and in the brotherhood of Man, may our spirits soar above it all and glean a cosmic perspective to soothe our souls. May you all be well my brothers and sisters as you experience your unique and individual ascension scheme, tailor-made by you and God, now and in eternity!" -Cosmic_Citizen

LET'S TALK, EMAIL, OR DO SOMETHING TOGETHER SOON! Please keep in touch, my friends.

And as always, I wish you well in your Earthly labors...................

In friendship and fellowship
