Happy Holidays!

Make a Smilebox greeting

Now that's Justice!

Being so very busy these days to the point that a cold caught me, took my voice and laid me down for several days.

During this time, I began reading Sir John Templeton's book "Wisdom from World Religions" an even the Introduction had some passages which I want to share and address:

The world operates on spiritual principles just as it operates on the laws of physics and gravity. ...You might ask, "What is a spiritual law?" We may answer that it is a timeless law or principle and, being of spirit, is not visible. However, spiritual law is quite real. Spiritual law is not shaped or determined by any person's current opinion or whim. Spiritual laws are impartial in that they apply equally to everyone, everywhere throughout our world. They work without prejudices or bias at all times and in all places. These laws are self-enforcing and are not dependent on human authority or commandments.

The rest of Sir Templeton's book is to assist us in mastering these "laws of life."

During the illness, I believe that I found that the process of creation is what lies between invisible thought and visible action. The more we think on Spiritual Laws and the fact that we are not able to change them (nor should we want to if we could), the more enjoyable life becomes. You can live without a mink coat for warmth, a hummer for transportation, a 20-room house for shelter, and less -- so much less. This does not mean that those who already have these things for themselves and five other people should go out and get more because I am not using them.

Somehow I believe that it may take a sudden and mass revelation having the purpose to awaken all of us at once -- aligning us in one mind for the mutual benefit of all for how ever brief the moment. Possibly it would hold and that would be the move to Justice!

As the Gregorian clander year of 2007 (9) comes to a close, may the year 2008 (1) allow us to see that what all of the great prophets, sages, and holy ones throughtout time have asked us to "see" is that we are all one.

It is in reverence that I recall your name
honor the form in which you last stood
Being left behind
I secure a pose of gratitude
to have this opportunity.

How precious was your first breath
How inadequate was my attention to your presence
How short the time we had in which to meet
How holy is our union in Spirit
How blessed is the world to have you visit.

We are forever One.
