Today’s Democracy

     Living always somewhere between agreement and disagreement, we lack the comforts and the torments of divine authority and regal power.  Pl;uralistic, we struggle with the idea of unity.  We reach awkwardly for shared purpose.  We talk sentimentally of community, sometimes, as though it could be had without sacrifice — as though order were possible without restraint.  We are nostalgic about the idea of community.  We lust for its consolations. -Robert J. Kingston

Possibly on a collective basis, we should rethink this idea that individually we can make it anywhere.  It is first understanding and then living in the harmony of community that we are going to be – literally – saved.

Ever Re-Newing Woman

“I was never a victim of the times I lived in.  In fact, I was a success because of the times I lived in.  My style of personality became the style.   I was sort of the New Woman at a very early point.”  – Katherine Hepburn

Well, when you look at the photo above, you can say that her looks didn’t hurt her ability to be a success.  But, for the remainder of the day and on through 2011 and beyond, let us put aside the outer appearance of you girl — which can change and work against you if you are too invested in it.  But let us begin now to focus on that inner quiet beauty that has been gently nagging you over the years to come out and show its face, its creativity, its compassion, its interests, its art, its love, its peace to the world.   All of these gifts are not just for you…we are waiting to see and hear and feel them too!!!  In other words, WE NEED YOU!

To all my Girlfriends and every other friend (whether to me or to others), may you be open and receptive to Health, Wealth, and Manifold Blessings in this new year!

Oh, here is later photo of Lady Katherine with elegance, grace and style Ever-Renewing Woman

When a person is all the time occupied doing good for others, there is a constant joy arising; and that joy creates a heavenly atmosphere, creating within him or her that heaven which is his inner life.)

Involving Evolving

The species is somewhere on its way to becoming truly human (still working toward humane).

The ability to “think” is not your crowning glory.

Capacities still quite underdeveloped include:   Awareness, Intuition, Compassion, Love, Vitality, Imagination, Healing, and Communication (interpersonal not technical).

You must activate the rest of your brain.

Force

As our energy flows around time and through space, let us prepare for those moments of challenge when we must stand firm in our Truth.

I say, Holy Spirit, remind me of my pledge to be an evolutionary lover (recognizing that contrary to popular belief), firepower is the lowest form of force and that alternative forms are required.

What kind of force do you ( hu-man) use?  

Do you force (or cause) the sun to shine or the moon to rise or wind to blow or me to breathe?

An evolutionary warrior, Lt. Col. Jim Channon, asked You (Holy Spirit) for this blessing in his workbook Evolutionary Tactics

“Supply me the strength and audacity needed to teach that I, as others, must move consistently up the ethical hierarchy of forces: from force of arms, to force of will, to force of Spirit, and finally to force of Heart.”

It sounds as though he is saying that force is not physical but spiritual!  Do we really know or understand the meaning of force?

Well, just give us a little time (little because we don’t have lots of time anymore) prayerfully, we will get it.

Down Deep ~ Deep Down

On the surface, we appear so very different: men and women, boys and girls, different ages, races, cultures, backgrounds, living in different places and under different circumstances. Yet inside, we are so very much the same. We all search for meaning and acceptance, we all long for peace, we all seek happiness. Our motivations are very similar.

Where I’m From

Most of the time when someone speaks of where they are from, they journey back in their minds to either were they were born or a place of their last residence.  Is that truly where they are from?  The audacious Dr. Emanuel Cleaver, III makes it perfectly clear just where he’s from and actually, I’m from the same place.

I come from the depths of infinite imagination,
From the essence of never-ending peace,
The center from which all hope is directed.

I come from the author of beauty itself,
From the pit of perfection,
The whirlpool of inspiration.

I come from the origin of poetic thought,
From the next of eternal joy,
The point of eager return.

I come from the bosom of liberation,
From the cradle of Truth,
The sea of abundant clams filled with righteousness.

I come from the pan that produces an aroma of justice.
The place that I come from is the same place
That all of creation owes its origin to.

I am a direct result of eternal love.
I come from the one and only life source,
God.

Power

Mind and Breath are twins.

What happens to one happens to the other.
If one is controlled, the other is automatically controlled.

Therefore, one of the methods of stilling the mind is to control the breath.

ThanksGiving

Today, I was on the web reading from a subscription and followed a link to an article of interest.   On that page, I saw something even more exciting: Combatants for Peace.   I rushed to their home page and my eyes were immediately drawn to the two figures in the center of the opening page banner.   They are facing each other — both out-stretched hand in greeting while both also have the other hand in an upward “stop” position refusing a rifle behind them.

I was so excited and delighted to find this treasured news:  warriors who were enemies now working together for peace.   It is what the heart needs to know that man can — should he so choose — select peace.

At their site, they state that they come together to

cooperate and commit ourselves to the following:
We no longer believe that the conflict can be resolved through violence.
We believe that the blood shed will not end unless we act together to terminate the occupation and stop all forms of violence.
We call for the establishment of a Palestinian State, alongside the State of Israel. The two states can exist in peace and security beside each other.
We will use only non-violent means to achieve our goals and call for both societies to end violence.

 Visit Combatants for Peace. You too will be inspired.
