The Rising Tide- 5th April 2024

Below the surface of any infrastructure, beneath its foundations, under it all, it will be that very level which will determine the strength of the whole.

Generations of men and women coming into birth to live a life are the up-and-coming swell that is rising beneath the former crew; and their determined purpose breaks, shakes, and resets the paradigms of the old: just as the wail of the infant challenges the ague with a perplexed and vexed velocity.

This is no sinister action, but for the wrestle and tension between life that is dying and that life beginning. It has never been more so than now.

The new world begs for a Christly life that is strong and unencumbered; one that is fortified by Heaven; enlivened with the Holy Spirit. But firstly, the dying must be put to rest.

And none of this is achieved by physical war or violence - oh the irony of Spirit!

For it is true that in Heaven there are many challenges and clashes between the lesser gods and their combatants - just as the lightning flames across the darkened skies, the gods fray upon all manner of beings of discord and malice when they have imposed themselves beyond their limits. And this is but a sport of a kind.

However, in the world of the flesh such combat incurs death - or worse, such injuries impair and bring pain. One can argue the merits and effects of pain within the soul and its experience - but in truth this unhappiness is not the way of Christ by choosing, it is not the plan for any to endure. For firstly we are all gracious and heavenly creatures - we do not need suffering to remind us of anything. There is but one tenet: namely, to love one another.

In this the World of Man may reform the spiritual worlds. If selfishness can die, so that the true self may be born - if the generations may move forward with one body of hope and love … all this is possible, and even predicted! And yes, with the inevitable bang and clash and minor protest ... yet fear not, for He hath come.

Cherished by the Heavens- Good Friday 29th of March 2024

Amidst the tribulations and woes, who is there amongst us that can champion our plight? Who, if not Christ, would, could, remedy the strife?

What being has pledged to us the illumined path to take us back to Father God… one that is without the lure of false promise that is fraught with hazard and longing?

Here and there the invisibles chortle His praises as well they might, for the stars flame with His smile and a million suns burn bright. We all become young again - yet sage in our choices - and the perfect reasons for Creation become realised perfectly within our souls.

Christ in your mercy, divine and complete: You counsel our beings and console our tribulations; we are privileged to have You - self assured and merry, obstinate to evil, defiant to the serpent, steadfast to humanity, cherished by the Heavens.

Who, if not You?

Creedence- 24th March 2024

As the light within the soul shines brightest before its passing, so too was the luminescence of our beloved Christ outstanding from His presence at His time.

His Being had gathered to himself a whorl of universal patternings for life, most naturally gravitated to and around Him – drawn to the One in a natural attraction –and the smallest of particles adored him –the energetic forces of Creation regrouped enmasse to return to their Creator, and truth be the power of His Being could have remade all - for good, or for better, there and then.

Every atom loves Him, and those coherent forces which oblige and participate in the patternings of Nature sequester His guidance; for He is truly all and they are truly Him.

And amidst all of this is the true beauty of the Heavenly worlds: manifest here and manifest there; and this wonder of wonders pains evil to know, for it shines upon their ugly faces and they scatter to hide from its glory.

Pity the wretchedness of evil for it loathes itself and cries in its solitude; pity the spirits cursed with its folly, naked and wandering hapless, yet holy.

Beloved Christ, Majesty of all, psyche to our being, medicine for our healing; with gentle hand and steady mind, You are there and here, in front and behind.

Comprehensive, deliberate, commensurate … our futures are safe and whole - for they are now.

Now more than ever before, this love in the World goes from one to all, and in circuit … being to being, it enstrengthens daily, gaining its power, gaining its Creedence.

And so amidst the public calamities, the chaos and betrayal, the dark politics, the evil acts of the unthinkables: hold fast to Christ, and fear not the sink hole.

The Propriety of Nothingness- 16th March 2024

Throughout time there have always been beverages to coax the consciousness into wakefulness or stupor. Most usually the benefactions were delivered in a liquid and it was recognized that particular liquids could invoke emotions or clarity depending on their inherent nature.

And, as in early life, in very early history, all diet was liquid- almost vaporous - imparting nutritive, formative and collaborative powers.

And so, the folks of today may have coffee – or, they can imagine drinking coffee - and depending on the effort of the imagination and its dexterity, they can affect the consciousness almost similarly, if not same, as though they were drinking the coffee in reality… either by invoking the memory, or drawing to oneself the spiritual reality of the coffee – the consciousness truly can experience the outcomes.

One could enhance the imagination imaginative process: for example, by remembering the smell of freshly ground coffee, or that very last sip i.e. associations that really capture the experience in one’s mind.

The actual coffee is not needed, for the consciousness will do as it always does: float above the physical experience, yet drive the will, the emotions and the vitalities into being.

Equally one may connect to all of the Communion cups in the world, and take sip – with reverential intent, meditate on those altars, that in this present moment are placing chalice on lips in the Holy Name and remotely, with a divine relationship, you may participate in this very moment, with the supplication so offered.

This is not trickery or illusion, for the imagination facilitates the very real connections to the inner nature and workings of life, to those substances, which underpin throughout all.

The more this is practised the better the strength of the activity. Herbal teas and their remedial qualifications can be drawn to us and in us with remarkable efficacy. The coffee experiment is a great place to start to begin to experience the truth of this.
