Gift Timeless Love

“The clock struck midnight and a new year began. Grandmother Time, all wrinkled and folded in wisdom, nodded, and smiled. “How long is a thousand years?” you ask her. “Let me tell you,” she answered. “It’s only as long as the blink of an eye or maybe as quick as a heartbeat. It’s as short as a sneeze or the snap of your fingers. It’s a mere moment in the Mystery. But let me tell you this as well. When you love instead of kill, time grows long. When you preserve and create instead of use and destroy, time grows full. And when you give yourself to time, yes, when you open yourself to each moment—not avoiding either suffering or joy—then time is no time. Then time is forever time. Then you will be a stranger to nothing and to no one. Then time will turn your shimmering and fleeting life into love. You will be part of the Mystery that does not cease.”

Gunilla Norris, author, meditation teacher, and psychotherapist

Often, when a truth student is on their spiritual journey and as they develop a new way of thinking about the world, one’s concept of ‘time’ changes. Our own sense consciousness sees time in minutes, hours, days. and weeks, etc. “As we come to a realization of an entirely different consciousness new relations are set up that it is sometimes difficult to explain to one who believes in time and space.” P 45, Atom Smashing Power of Mind, Charles Fillmore

‘Time’ has no hold on us when we are meditating and communing in the silence of our spiritual consciousness. At this level we can experience the pure love of God, Buddha or whatever your name is for this presence. This also occurs when we are doing activities that put us completely in the zone and we lose track of time.

Being in the present moment as Eckart Tolle says is where the action happens, and ‘giving ourselves to time’ from the above quote. You are giving and expressing with total awareness of how you are showing up. We always have choices in how we respond in the moment. When we respond with love in the present moment and the next and the next one in this ‘forever time’, we have created ‘Timeless Love’.

We can choose this Timeless Love response. There are those I have met, who have never known love or what it is. Until they experience it, they are unable to give it. Hard to imagine, I’m sure, if you have never met them. Or you have individuals who have stayed in the hurt or abused place because they may have experienced love once and now, they can’t trust another human being.

Being present to them without judgement or jumping to conclusions, listening to where they are in the moment beyond the words they are speaking. Discerning and intuiting from the Divine presence within you as you receive the next step to do or say.

Give the gift of Timeless Love this holiday season,

Thanksgiving and Surrender

Thanksgiving and Surrender

Celebrating the holiday of Thanksgiving and the time leading up to that day gives me pause as I reflect on what I am grateful for. Are you aware that giving thanks is a form of surrender? It occurred to me this week, so I looked it up. I hadn’t thought of it in this way before. One is allowing themselves to be supported by another and letting them know by saying thank you.

Is there a major point in your life that occurred, and you were supported by friends or family? I am grateful for friends who were there for my wife and I in our Unity community when we moved from a church that I was senior minister of in Virginia back to Maine. Our two dogs were also welcome while we stayed at their home. It was a major turning point in my life in 2010.

I had let everything go regarding what was mine to do for a career and let things unfold gradually. I continued to write my blog and the post Over Easy, https://wordpress.com/post/revairin.wordpress.com/38  I wrote at their home one morning.

 A year later, right before I started on the path to becoming a hospital chaplain I had the following dream that I will repost here. It is entitled: Dreams with Messages

Two weeks ago, I had a dream. I woke up after having it in the early morning, therefore it is considered a waking dream. Charles Filmore, Unity’s (unity.org) cofounder believed in the messages of waking dreams. Theoretically, your first dreams when you go to sleep are those that help you work out and let go of events from that day.

In the dream, I was the tractor that was pulling the trailer of a semi-truck. I was driving in the wrong direction, however. All the traffic had stopped on the highway and was waiting for me to turn around. They were patient. I saw a person in a night shirt that represented each car. Once I got turned around, I was then pulling the truck up a flight of stairs and then I awoke.

     It was a pretty vivid message just like the picture that I selected above. My initial feeling and thought were that I’m trying to overcome the current challenges mostly by myself, once again. The cars on the highway, which represent those on the path of life with you, were supporting me as I turned my life around. The trailer obviously was the weight and baggage of my current challenge. The next part of the dream when I was pulling it up the stairs, I was making life more of a struggle than it needs to be. Stairs represent “one’s ascent or descent in relation to one’s life progression or advancement.”1 I had gotten caught up on the gerbil wheel going around and around and forgetting to trust and have faith in God.

Many people have and continue to be there to support me with their unconditional love, patience, and abundance. They have employed me, written me letters of reference and most of all just listened to and accepted me for who I am with the gifts and talents that I have come to earth to give. Having compassion for oneself is not easy. Today as I get over yet another cold from the stress I created, I am choosing to have compassion for myself. I know I am doing the best that I can.

Dreams have messages that are simple yet profound. It is the Spirit’s way of getting your attention. As you interpret them, the key is how they felt to you and what resonates with in you. It’s helpful to keep a journal that you write them in. I incorporate them into the regular journal that I write in when I have something I want to remember.

Remember to have compassion for yourself in whatever is happening in your life. When you surrender giving thanks in advance and let Spirit give you the next step, It knows the how, things will shift for the better in your life. Relax and have faith. Amen.

Perceived Danger Part II

The 7,472-acre Headwaters Forest Reserve by The Bureau of Land Management is licensed under CC-CC0 1.0

The end of Tammy Anderson’s story: “It is like the monk standing there and saying you could cut me with your sword, and I won’t blink an eye. The driver sensed it, and it was like watching someone die. All the color went out of him, and the fear went into his body, and he started shaking. I said to him because he had already shut the car off, start this car and you are going to take me to a hotel and in the morning, you are going to pick me up and take me where you should have taken me in the first place. And he said OKAY. The next morning, he picked me up and he said to me, after he took me where I needed to go, and as I was getting out of the car, ‘Be careful because it’s dangerous out there.’  And I handed him a Franciscan cross¹ and I said, I will see you again someday and I know I will. “

“He was a teacher for me and taught me the lesson of surrender, of letting go and fearing nothing. You can’t kill somebody that has already surrendered their death. It is that stillness that I look for, that stillness where we remember who we are… “ As Rev Pat watched her tell it, she could see the strength that Tammy had. Part one of Perceived Danger, https://wordpress.com/post/revairin.wordpress.com/764 tells the first part of the story.

The Kingdom of Heaven is within us. From www.Truthunity.net the metaphysical definition is: ”a state of consciousness in which the soul and body are in harmony with Divine Mind.“ This is the Christ consciousness that we all possess that some call our higher self or consciousness. This is where we have access to Divine ideas, the substance from which we create our world. This is also our direct line to God that we can access at any time. The speed at which we connect is not measurable, it is intuitive.

Tammy was connecting intuitively with God or her higher self. She felt the fear welling up within her. As I learned yet another way to see fear, it is a signal, an alarm system designed to serve and protect. She seemed to welcome it as warning her of the danger she was in.

As I mentioned in part one, Did Tammy encounter evil or someone who was misappropriating the infinite supply of Divine ideas that we have in us? He was choosing a dangerous way to be. Tammy was able to turn the tables and give him a dose of what it felt like to be in fear. She didn’t purposely do this, it was the choice to surrender to her death, no longer fearing him, which released its and his power over her.

“There is no such thing as a problem without a gift for you in its hands. You seek problems because you need their gifts.” Richard Bach, Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah

Here is another way to look at fear, danger and evil. When we run from the problem it only increases its power over us. When we can accept the gift, the problem disappears. Or, try embracing the fear as integral threads in the tapestry of your being.

Remember in the story that Tammy gave the Franciscan cross to the man? I looked it up and it means to become the best person possible. It is in the footnote below.

Perceived Danger Evil Part I

Following the ‘Light’ house

Is it possible to turn the tables on perceived evil? Naturally it isn’t something we ever think we will experience. Rev Pat Bessey shared a story during a recent talk that highlighted a way one can change the course of a dangerous encounter.

The story begins: There is a woman named Tammy Anderson who had arrived in France to go to a Tase community. She had taken a bus from the airport that didn’t go all the way to her destination. She had five miles left to walk. As she was walking along, a car stopped, and the man asked if she would like a ride. She put her backpack in the back and chatted with him. When they passed the turn and kept on going it began to get dark and turned into a dirt road. She mentioned that she thought he was supposed to turn back there, and he said but I know a short cut. “So, they kept on going deeper into the woods and she thought, oh no, this is not going to be good. This was not going to be good; her knees were beginning to tremble. Her whole body was on high alert.

She said to herself, “I knew this was not going to be good and if it starts today, one of us will die. I will kill him, or he will kill me. In a stillness I cannot express came over me and the power; and the reason is because I found one of the secrets and the secret is I have nothing to lose if I am already dead. And that is the most dangerous person in the world to fool with.”

Part II will be in next week’s blog on what happens next. Tammy has followed her intuition all her life and decided to make it more of a way of life by helping other people as a medium and took formal training later in her life. Her website is here: https://healing-wellness.com/

In the Unity teachings, Charles Fillmore, our cofounder defines evil: -That which is not of God; unreality; error thought; a product of the fallen human consciousness, negation.

Charles writes in Atom Smashing power of the Mind, “The oft-discussed metaphysical question of the origin of evil and the source of good is settled in a concise statement by Hamlet: ‘There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.’ “p114

Aristotle was one of the first to define evil as an untruth and thus did not exist in and of itself. In the church it was referred to as privation boni: deprivation of the good. This was coined by Origen who was a scholar and Christian Theologian. St Augustine, like Origen, expanded it more than any Theologian at that time. This written thought about evil gave it more of a foot hold and then of course most Christian religions tend to take the Bible literally therefore giving it more credence.

In Tammy’s story, she was using the principle or law that Spirit or God is always with us. Therefore, we have nothing to fear. Holding steady to that thought can empower us through many situations that we perceive as dangerous.

I recently learned another way to look at our fear response when it brings up our protection shields. So when you are feeling fear, ask yourself if something that you love or care about is being threatened by perceived evil or taken away? Paraphrased from Paul Hasselback, fellow Unity Minister.

Did Tammy encounter evil or someone who was misappropriating the infinite supply of Divine ideas that we have in us?

More Precious than Gold

A human life, however lived, is more precious than gold. All lives are affected by how one shows up in the world. Naturally we all have a choice in how much we allow another to affect us. None of us know what kind of mark or impression we are leaving on another. We also don’t know how long we will have to make a mark or leave a legacy.

A mass shooting recently occurred in our state of Maine, which affected everyone in the United States and probably worldwide, especially those who had lost loved ones in past shootings. It presses on the file tab in one’s mind of the memory and brings it all back as fresh emotions. It’s a constant reminder for me of how precious life is. People I don’t even know and have never met, are telling me to take care or be safe at the end of a phone call before the shooter had been apprehended. This happened to me during Covid as well.

Most of us know what we were doing or where we were on the morning of 911. I was in seminary at Unity and we were just beginning our course work on nonviolent communication. The dean of our school came into our classroom to tell us that the twin towers in New York City had been hit. The ministerial classes spent the rest of the day contacting loved ones and praying in the chapel for everyone that was affected.

This recent loss of lives was a nightmare for many who waited at home like those in Lewiston, Maine and the surrounding area to hear from their loved ones that they were okay.

There was relief for many, 48 hours later when the body of the shooter was found. Once again we are all forever changed at a depth that is unfathomable. I truly have no conception of what the families must be feeling. Of course, due to technology, we can reach to the far corners of the earth and learn about what is going on in the world.

Despite the pain that was caused from all of these tragic losses, individuals have the capacity to be resilient. They discover friends and family that have existed all along in their lives that are now front and center supporting them. This is truly a gift. I am reminded of the phrase I have coined and mentioned before in this blog. “It hurts so deeply because we love so deeply.”

There are various community supports that one can use. An international one is called Attitudinal Healing. Each center is independently run and operated. “Attitudinal Healing is a cross-cultural method of healing that helps remove self-imposed blocks such as judgment, blame, shame and self-condemnation that are in the way of experiencing lasting love, peace, and happiness. It is based on the belief that it is not people or experiences outside of ourselves that cause us to be upset. Rather, it is our thoughts, attitudes, and judgments about them that cause us distress.”  https://www.ahinternational.org/single-location/united-states/?directory_type=general

In a blog I wrote in August, https://revairin.wordpress.com/2023/08/15/the-message-is-love/ I wrote the prayer in it as well as last week’s poem/prayer. Love, love, heals all wounds, however long it takes. I am showering the families with love, and I invite you to do the same, including the Card family of the shooter. I believe love is the healing and harmonizing force in the universe.

The metaphysical definition of love, from Unity’s cofounder Charles Fillmore. –“The pure essence of Being that binds together the whole human family. Of all the attributes of God, love is undoubtedly the most beautiful. In Divine Mind, love is the power that joins and binds in divine harmony the universe and everything in it; the great harmonizing principle known to man.” From the Revealing Word.

Knowing the truth about the shooter, that their behavior is not who they were at depth. One can hope that gun laws will change by reaching out to our legislators. A friend of mine said, “We are not addressing the white male mental health issue in this country. Spend a couple weeks in a psych hospital, two weeks later go buy a gun, no problem.”

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”
— Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Laughter

“I had the epiphany that laughter was light, and light was laughter, and that this was the secret of the universe.” — Donna Tartt (The Goldfinch)

One of the many things that I enjoy about children of any age is that they laugh more than adults. Their present moment awareness contributes to that. If they aren’t worrying about the future or the past, they appear stress free. I have learned that stress is self-created because we always have a choice in what we allow to affect us.

Various studies have been done on humor therapy. Here is the abstract from one of them: “The present study examined the effectiveness of a humor therapy program in relieving chronic pain, enhancing happiness and life satisfaction, and reducing loneliness among older persons with chronic pain. It was a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest controlled design. Older persons in a nursing home were invited to join an 8-week humor therapy program (experimental group), while those in another nursing home were treated as a control group and were not offered the program. There were 36 older people in the experimental group and 34 in the control group. Upon completion of the humor therapy program, there were significant decreases in pain and perception of loneliness, and significant increases in happiness and life satisfaction for the experimental group, but not for the control group. The use of humor therapy appears to be an effective nonpharmacological intervention. Nurses and other healthcare professionals could incorporate humor in caring for their patients.” ¹

I’ve often thought that laughter and crying are the same emotion, and it has always felt better to laugh than to cry. From the Sunday talk at Unity by Rev Pat Bessey, she was referring to Alan Cohen’s book, Dare to Be Yourself, and paraphrased that “Laughter is an antidote for living in a world of disturbing illusions.”

Did you know that laughter is also an antidote for stress, chronic pain, and reduces cortisol and adrenaline that cause bad cholesterol?  At the same time, it increases our immune cells and antibodies that fight off disease. This happens because the feel-good hormone, endorphin, is released. When you are petting your dog or cat, endorphins are released by both the owner and the pet. All of which improves one’s mood.

I’ve collected a few quotes about love from Goodreads.com. It would be great if you would leave a comment about what laughter does for you, or if you have a favorite quote on laughter.

“Life is worth living as long as there’s a laugh in it.” — L.M. Montgomery (Anne of Green Gables (Anne of Green Gables, #1))

“Laughter is sunshine, it chases winter from the human face.” — Victor Hugo (Les Misérables)

“Laughter is the language of the soul.” — Pablo Neruda

“Laughter is poison to fear.” — George R.R. Martin (A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, #1))

“The human face has limited space. If you fill it with laughter there will be no room for crying.” — Rohinton Mistry (A Fine Balance)

“Close friends are truly life’s treasures. Sometimes they know us better than we know ourselves. With gentle honesty, they are there to guide and support us, to share our laughter and our tears. Their presence reminds us that we are never really alone.” — Vincent van Gogh

“Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth, And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings” — John Gillespie Magee Jr.

“If you wish to glimpse inside a human soul and get to know a man, don’t bother analyzing his ways of being silent, of talking, of weeping, of seeing how much he is moved by noble ideas; you will get better results if you just watch him laugh. If he laughs well, he’s a good man.” — Fyodor Dostoevsky

“Maturity is a bitter disappointment for which no remedy exists, unless laughter could be said to remedy anything.” — Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

“May Light always surround you; Hope kindle and rebound you. May your Hurts turn to Healing; Your Heart embrace Feeling. May Wounds become Wisdom; Every Kindness a Prism. May Laughter infect you; Your Passion resurrect you. May Goodness inspire your Deepest Desires. Through all that you Reach For, May your arms Never Tire.” — D. Simone

What is a Mystic?

Fledgling Stars in Stellar Nursery by NASA Goddard Photo and Video is licensed under CC-BY 2.0

According to the Oxford online dictionary, A mystic is “a person who seeks by contemplation and self-surrender to obtain unity with or absorption into the Deity or the absolute, or who believes in the spiritual apprehension of truths that are beyond the intellect.”

Or, maybe this definition is better from Dictionary.com. “a person who claims to attain, or believes in the possibility of attaining, insight into mysteries transcending ordinary human knowledge, as by direct communication with the divine or immediate intuition in a state of spiritual ecstasy.”

Either way, a mystic is someone who has the luxury of spending hours a day in deep meditation walking, sitting, gardening, painting, sailing and surrendering the ego to putting God or whatever name you have for a power greater than us, in charge of your life. One is open and receptive to messages through their intuition or ‘knowing’ as I sometimes call them. This occurs through developing a relationship with it. Yes, It, because it doesn’t have a gender.

Some may hear a brief message, others receive a download, or see and feel colors and vibrations or figures. Some experience all these things at different times and in different combinations. It can all happen in real time. One also doesn’t have to spend hours a day to experience this, however, consistent daily practice is important to train the ego to be led as opposed to leading. This practice is called meditating, by some of us.

Most of my poems in my Poetry book, Eternal Thread, came from meditating on the beach or at home. Here are a couple that one could consider to be more mystical.

You are knowing

You are answering

Now, I am asking

I am knowing

I am no longer asking

I am knowing

Ah,

I have become knowing

No longer answering

Are you a mystic or on the path as one?

As I like to say, enjoy the adventure and Let It live as you,

GPS

A Logarithmic Map of the Entire Observable Universe

What is GPS? According to GPS.gov, “The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a US owned utility that provides users with positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) services. This system consists of 3 segments: the space segment, the control segment, and the user segment…The outstanding performance of GPS over many years has earned the confidence of millions of civil users worldwide. It has proven its dependability in the past and promises to be of benefit to users, throughout the world, far into the future.”  

What might we have within us that is infallible, ever present, all knowing and is forever loving us? Let’s take that paragraph and make a few changes.

God’s Positioning System (GPS) is a universal Presence that provides all of life with positioning, navigation, timing (PNT) services, and more. This system consists of 3 segments: the universal segment, the cocreation segment, and the intuitive segment. The outstanding performance of GPS over many years has earned the confidence of millions of humans worldwide. It has proven its dependability in the past and promises to be of benefit to humankind, throughout the universe, and far beyond the future.

I also think of GPS as an acronym for God’s Persistent Signals. God is always present trying to get our attention with gentle nudges and sometimes as some have said, “with a cosmic 2×4.” Note that it is never harmful, shaming, judging, or punishing. I encounter many people who believe it was something that they did in the past that is causing the pain or dis-ease that they have now. Also, they believe that God took a loved one from them as punishment for something that they did at one point in time.

The first Universal segment means that God is everywhere present in the universe. A phrase I learned from the Unity teachings is, ‘there is no spot that God is not.’ God is the source for all.

The second Cocreation segment means that we create our lives with God and the spirit of God, the Holy Spirit, breathes them into manifestation. God as the source is the foundation from which everything comes forth from ideas and then into physical reality. Healing of one’s body from a health challenge or trusting God to provide the abundance needed as one does their part on their end. This means we play an active role in the manifestation by ‘putting feet to our prayers” with an understanding faith, vs just sitting on the couch and expecting things to happen is blind faith.

Last and most important is the development of intuition which is our online connection and communication with God. The GPS needs an online connection to work. We don’t need that with God. We do need to develop the connection of listening and we do that by taking time every day to spend time in the silence or with meditative music or using a word or a repeated phrase to help center. Also, it could be a morning walk in nature free of distractions. This creates the ability to be open to God’s persistent signals or positioning system.

Tap into your internal GPS anytime and anywhere!

From Trusting to Living in Spirit

Recently, I was teaching spoon carving at the Common Ground Fair. One of the volunteers at our Maine Wood Carvers’ booth said, “I don’t live in my phone. My daughter gets annoyed when I don’t pick up right away.” I and another volunteer instantly chuckled.

“I don’t live in my phone.” I asked myself, do I live in my phone? Basically, I do, with all the activities I am involved in and being self-employed. As a hospital chaplain it becomes a pager through the app that is on it. When using lawn equipment or carpentry machinery I don’t have it on me.

There is a presence that is with us 24/7. Whatever name one gives it. I sometimes use God but mostly Spirit because I feel very close to the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the manifester of our life and world. It brings one’s dreams into reality. So, what about ‘living in Spirit’ first and then your phone? 😉

If I tell you that you can have peace of mind, more confidence in yourself, more intuitive nudges guiding you, not needing affirmation from others that you are on track, would you be interested in ‘living in Spirit’?

How might one achieve ‘living in Spirit’? One can begin with trusting Spirit. The acronym for TRUST is: Truly Rely Upon Spirit’s Timing. We can let go of having to have all the answers and listen for Spirit to guide us. We are then allowing things to unfold in Divine order. Trust also builds faith. Remembering that all we need is a mustard seed size of faith to believe something is possible.

From Unity’s Revealing word, the metaphysicalmeaning of belief ”–An inner acceptance of an idea as true. Belief is closely related to faith. Belief functions both consciously and subconsciously. Many false individual and race beliefs are very active below the conscious level.” The word‘Race’ means all humanity that each of us is also part of. We have things that we all believe that we have picked up along our path of life.

At first, it may require a conscious awareness that you are listening for Spirit’s message of very few words or nudge, like developing a new habit. One can use the acronym as an affirmation or prayer in each moment of feeling unsure about what to do. For example, ‘I am truly relying upon Spirit’s timing.’ I learned it as ‘Totally relying upon Spirit’s timing’. Ghandhi, Nelson Mandella, and Martin Luther King all trusted in Spirit along with Mother Theresa who achieved her work fully trusting and ‘living in Spirit’.

In Prayer of the Heart, part II, https://wordpress.com/post/revairin.wordpress.com/588 I write about the acronym for CHRIST : Christ Heals and Reveals I am Silently Trusting, and how I used this to develop a relationship with Spirit. This comes to me automatically like a breath when I need it to center and listen for Spirit’s guidance.

Kernels and paraphrasing from Allen Cohen’s book, ‘Dare to Trust’:

• Am I willing to trust the divine lighting technician to show me the way?
• When feeling impatient – what is it that I am not trusting?
• Dare to trust yourself.
• The essential ingredient for spiritual advancement is trust.

And last, “Trust is the bedrock of the belief system of the one who truly seeks peace.”

And paraphrasing quotes from Rev Pat Bessey’s talk on 9/17/23, I am ending with the following-

Knowing that Spirit is guiding you

From withing and without

You are here by choice

Trust
