Moments




There are moments in every life of purest sensuality,

When we feel an urgent desire and nurture the hope

That the special wish of returning into our true reality

May soon come true and we shall once again be free

To dwell within its eternal awareness

That knows no divisions and boundaries.


Walking with Highest Self, standing tall and

Listening to Its guidance that comes from within,

And then expressing Its wishes in our lives.

Listening to a thought, grasping an idea,

Constantly being true to our real self

In all our thoughts, words and actions,

Taking pride only in doing the right things,

The earthly self leans to accept love

In whatever form it may present itself.


How can human souls live in despair,

When the Spirit that moves behind all life

Does nothing but to affirm and encourage it?

So, let us pray in more thoughtful ways and,

True to our greater and higher nature,

Once again consciously walk

Hand in hand with God and the Angels,

On the Highest levels of life.


With them is the only place where human souls can find

The long yearned for peace and freedom,

Whilst they are still dwelling on the material plane.


~ Brian Forsythe

Promise Yourself Today



To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel how special they are.

To look for the good that is in everything and to make your

Optimism come true by finding it.


To think only of the best, to work only for the best,

And know that then only the best can return to you.

To be as enthusiastic about the success of others

As you are about your own.


To learn from the mistakes of the past, so they can lead you

Into the greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and to greet

Everybody you meet with a smile.


To focus so much on the improvement of yourself

That no time is left for criticising others.

To have enough faith to stop worrying,

Trust the goodness of life to bring only the best,

Embrace the future and live without fear,

Safe in the knowledge that with the help of God and the Angels

All challenges can be met and all problems resolved.

Progress




Let there be many windows to your soul,

That all the glory of the Universe may beautify it.

Not the narrow pane of one poor creed can catch the radiant rays

That shine from countless sources.

Tear away the blinds of superstition;

Let the light pour through fair windows,

Broad as truth itself and high as God.


Why should the spirit peer

Through some priest-curtained orifice,

And grope along dim corridors of doubt,

When all the splendour from unfathomed seas of space

Might bathe it with the golden waves of love?

Sweep up the debris of decaying faiths;

Sweep down the cobwebs of worn-out beliefs,

And throw your soul wide open to the light

Of reason and of knowledge.


Tune your ear

To all the wordless music of the stars and to the voice of nature,

And your heart shall turn to truth and goodness,

As the plant turns to the Sun.

A thousand unseen hands reach down to help you

To their peace-crowned heights.

And all the forces of the firmament

Shall fortify your strength.

Be not afraid

To thrust aside half-truths and grasp the whole.


Ella Wheeler Wilcox, SRC

Can see clearly now

I Can See Clearly Now

I can see clearly now, the rain has gone;

I can see all obstacles in my way.

Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind

It’s going to be a bright, bright Sun-Shiny day.


I think I can make it now, the pain is gone;

All of the bad feelings have disappeared.

Here is the rainbow I’ve been praying for;

It’s going to be a bright, bright Sunshiny day.


Look all around, there’s nothing but blue skies;

Look straight ahead, nothing but blue.

I can see clearly now, the rain has gone,

I can see all obstacles in my way

Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind;

It’s going to be a bright, bright Sun-Shiny day.


Johnny Nash

The Homecoming




If you were standing in a sand storm
And the wind was blowing tiny pebbles in all direction
You would suddenly realise why it once was so difficult

To open your inner eyes.
A flash of inspiration would tell you that in order to see
One needs to move away from the debris,
Otherwise one becomes blinded and excluded
From the very process of trying to see deeper and further

Into the true purpose and meaning of our existence.
If you have been hiding for too long in dark and deep places
That were without light, you would expect
That when you opened your eyes,
The pain and the shock from natural light would sting

And burn away the darkness.
You would need to give yourself time to adjust and learn to see.
If you had been blind all your life and were miraculously given
The gift of sight, your brain would have to work very hard
To find a way of interpreting information and
Using your vision as a tool.

It would be because you had become conditioned
To synthesising what came before you without the
Use of your own inner vision.
Do you think your third eye is the exception?
If you have lived thus far fearing truth,
Running from healing, dwelling amongst chaos and confusion,

You are likely to have used division and delusion
As a means of trying to control your world
If you have been told the answer lies in powers
Outside of yourself, instead of the living God within you,
If you have been taught that your worth and value
Is dependant upon your gain and that freedom can be found

With the help of bank accounts rather than a loving and fearless heart,
If you have bought the poison that your body is a tool
Rather than a temple of the living God that holds your
Most precious gift, your spirit and soul,
You may as yet be unable to recognise that there are
Alternatives to your pain that grow, thrive and are steadfast
In the renewing of your heart and mind through the gift of love.
In our war torn world of mass consumption

It is essential to hold onto the concept of the all-redeeming
And all-healing power of God’s love and light.
There is no need to crawl before you can run to them,
But, dear friends, we surely have to fight
To come home into the knowledge that we are young Gods in the making
And that each one of us potentially is
The redeeming and healing light and the love of our world.

Let us face up to our deepest desires and greatest yearnings,
Embrace the aching and longing of our souls
Its pain shall propel us forward into the awakening of our true nature.
Empower yourself and your spirit by taking charge of your Divinity
And know that you can fly and that you are the only one who can
Release you from the experiences of the earthly plane.

Renew your mind through new concepts of spiritual wisdom and truth.
Know condemnation is a wicked lie that seeks to destroy
The true nature of the accused and the accuser –
Which is love.

How long have you sought to add your song to the symphony of humankind?
Let it rise up and beat the drum
That for so long has shaken the core of that which used to feed
On your pain, grief, anger and defeat.
Help the living God within to rise and help you destroy it!


Shalom

If Luck Was A Raindrop

I’d send you a shower.
If hope was a minute,
I’d send you an hour.
If happiness was a leaf,
I’d give you a tree.
And whenever you need a friend,
You will always have me.

Sweet Surrender



Lost and alone on some forgotten highway,
Travelled by many remembered by few;
Looking for something that I can believe in,
Looking for something that I’d like to do with my life.

There’s nothing behind me and nothing that ties me
To something that might have been true yesterday.
Tomorrow is open and right now it seems to be more
Than enough to just be there today

And I don’t know what the future is holding in store;
I don’t know where I’m going, I’m not sure where I’ve been.
There’s a spirit that guides me, a light that shines for me;
My life is worth the living, I don’t need to see the end

Sweet, sweet surrender;
Live, live without care;
Like a fish in the water;
Like a bird in the air.


John Denver
