My heart turns to nonviolence today. Also a commitment not to listen to another talk or argument on guns, for or not for. Throughout our human history guns have been used for good and evil. It is how we use these instruments of potential power. Furthermore, as you and I have come to know, power […]
We each are better off because we have been nurtured while and as we grew. It does not stop there. We, inherent spiritual beings living a human experience, need nurturing throughout our lifetime. Try living for awhile without someone caring about you or feeling loved. It feels almost disabling. As Jim Cathcart puts it—“Nurture your nature.” […]
In the quote of Swami Vivekananda is the core truth of who we are: “In one word this ideal is that you are divine.” Many a time we may have a problem or challenging situation we face. Instinctively, we turn to something finer and grander than our human nature. We face the feeling and want to […]
“Love’s Power.” A healed relationship, that is what I so wanted after haggling for five years between my sister, brother and I to settle the land and home our now deceased mom and dad left the three of us. Equally we would split the proceeds. At least two signatures would be needed on an offer […]
There is much said about the topic and experience of Oneness. Perhaps it can be defined as ‘bliss.’ Emily Dickinson put it this way in her quote: “Find ecstasy in life; the mere sense of living is joy enough.” —Emily Dickinson. Oneness may be defined as feeling united with God presence through an overwhelming feeling […]
“Golden Key.” The main idea in the Emmet Fox Booklet is: “Stop thinking about the difficulty, whatever it is, and think about God instead.” —Unity. The first publication of “The Golden Key” may have been as early as January 6, 1931. However the idea of focus and centering upon God as the answer to life’s dilemmas has […]
We each have a will; our indwelling chief executive ready and able to do our bidding. It is in how we use the energy and directive of our will. We are the keepers and captain of will as a powerhouse of aliveness within us. Narendra Modi wrote: “Our mind is never a problem. Mindset is.” Furthermore, our willingness is influenced by […]
My website, revfrieda was under the weather for a few days. Fortunately I have a local web person who is talented and knows technology and website skills. I simply call him and presto he fixes the problem. Beforehand however I bravely had an idea, “I will fix the problem whatever it is and it will […]
I offer two definitions of prayer. Prayer—“Positive declarations of the Truth of one’s unity with God sets up a new current of thought power, which delivers one from old beliefs and their depression.” –Myrtle Fillmore. “Prayer is universally described as a mystical language with the power to change our bodies, our lives, and the world.” […]
There is an inner urge, I believe, in each of us to seek and find a transformative stream of consciousness that runs through us, our words, feelings, and yearnings to unite with a transformative power. The first human beings on earth were gatherers, hunters, potters and farmers. They were akin and depended upon mother earth, […]
