Jesus said, "It is I who am the light which is above them all. It is I who am the All. From me did the all come forth, and unto me did the all extend. Split a piece of wood, and I am there. Lift up the stone, and you will find Me there." (Gospel of Thomas: Saying 77)

Greetings in the Light of the Sacred Unity !

The more we live in the understanding that creation is Sacred Exactly as It Is the more we appreciate the meaning of this verse. All of life is a magical display of this understanding. The more we realize -- and feel -- this, the more we want to make the necessary space in our lives to remember this holiness. Just being able to see the Sacred Unity within everything is the beginning of awakening. But integrating that means creating the Sacred Space in our lives to honor and remember. The more we understand the ALL the more we want to take the structured or planned time for study, devotions, prayer, and meditation. This in turn opens us up internally, creating the space the Holy Shekinah needs to work in our lives. That in turn creates more understanding of the Sacred Unity. It's a beautiful cycle of love and remembrance that goes on and on... so that we begin to live as in a prayer.

Just wanted to share these reflections of thankfulness on this day of peace and rest from human labor. Thanks to Ruach Elohim for helping us to See. It's important to take the times each day to open up our Consciousness through creation of a Sacred Space/ Time for remembrance.

May We Create the Space in Our Lives for the the Power of the Shekinah to Manifest within our Hearts !

Love, Light, and Blessings!

Salutations in the Light of the Messiah!

This is among my most favorite verses or sayings in all of the gospels we have, one that is most often a source of deep contemplation and meditation; reintegrating oneself with the Human One of Light and Light Continuum, Yeshua Yahweh, this saying is the utterance of the simple primordial truth, an ever present truth, the Great Natural Perfection.

Sitting in sacred circle in the great outdoors, taking up the chant of Yeshua Yahweh, and merging the mind with the sound-vibration of the chant, speaking this saying of the Divine I Am, amen, so be it.

Breathing the radiant holy breath, following the breath into the gap, breathing in the power of our Earthly Mother, breathing out, going into our Heavenly Father, going beyond beyond, speaking this saying of the Divine I Am, amen, so be it.


Sitting in sacred circle, taking the Circle of Life as the object of meditation, contemplating this saying of the Divine I Am, amen, so be it.


There is nothing but Or Ain Sof, the Light of the Inifinite, speaking, breathing, seeing; Pure Radiant Awareness - Hallelu Yah!

There is no missing the mark in this, no sin or death, only bornless being, the Great Natural Perfection - How wonderful!

In this we know and understand the kingdom of heaven spread out upon the earth, the Light Realm within and all around us, and beyond us - and it is Good, it is All Good; we rejoice in the Shekinah of Yahweh!

Indeed, when we know life is sacred as it is, when we know the world is sacred as it is, we are awakening in the dream, we are becoming lucid, and the fruition is the non-dual realization, the awareness of all as the radiant display of the Divine Mind, the Holy One of Being.

There is profound peace and immeasurable joy in this, whether in the midst of apparent beauty and horror - one taste, no difference.

In the Messiah, in this Holy Awareness, this Light of Awareness, we abide perpetually in Holy Communion with God, the Divine.

May we be blessed and empowered to abide in this Holy Remembrance - Zakor Shalom, amen.

(Zakor Shalom = Remember Peace)

Blessings & Shalom!

Shalom!

This hits home with my situation where planning time to study, meditate, and pray is futile and in this it is imperative to have to look and see, listen and hear at all times & in all places for the Holy Mother Spirit. The whole display of Life is our study desk, altar, meditation Space....

Last Thursday a beautiful visit during a mundane task: after loading groceries into the vehicle in the store parking lot, then walking around to the driver's side to get in, a young woman approached. She was very harshed out on heroine and prostitution, of First Nations descent, her teeth were rotting, her eyes were glassed over, but she still had a deep beauty. She needed money and food......and Love.....She was like an angel providing a profound connection between peoples existing in apparently different worlds. Appearing out of nowhere and disappearing into nowhere.....

May we have the Vision of heart and mind to make Full all that is layed out before us; all that Is us! amen.

Blessings!
Leslie
