Freedom of Religion

Banning people on the basis of their religious beliefs is not who we are. It’s exactly the opposite of who we are and diametrically opposed to the teachings of Jesus, from which “the word” Christianity at least comes from. It is definitely not what this country was founded on. Our founder’s intentions were to provide for the persecuted, take them in and to provide with the freedom to practice their religious beliefs.

What has happened to us that we no longer honor this?

Mark the Date: World Healing Meditation 9.21.16

The World Healing Meditation started in 1986 with John Randolph Price and his Quartus Foundation. In the first years it brought the consciousness of more than 500 million people together at the same time in all time zones around the world to pray for Peace.

I’ve been doing the World Healing Meditations for many years. I started back in about 2001 officially at the Center of Positive Living in St. Augustine under the tutiledge of Rev. Elizabeth Claire. We have always used the John Randolph Price prayer as the basis of the meditation and his desire became our desire for the world. For a few years during the last 14 years I the City Council even proclaimed September 21st World Peace Day.

With the help of some friends, we built a Peace Pole at the Center, which stands today. On it, in French, Spanish, English, Arabic, and Braille, is written “Let Peace Prevail.”

And today, Peace does prevail. Amidst protests, and conflicts,our world today sees greater peace than has ever been in more than 2,000 years. Is it a perfect Peace? No. Does the world yet work for everyone? Not yet.

What does this mean for us. It means we pray. It means we move ever forward in our individual and collective desires to see it happen. We do not individually have to “make it happen,” but we can allow for that to be our “prevailing desire” and by our setting of our attention on our intention, it will happen.

Why? Because our thought is the most powerful thing in the universe, because we are each powerful, co-creators with God!

Spirit Education (www.Spirit-Edu.com) will be having a peace meditation at 7am Eastern on September 21st, 2016 online on Zoom. Please join us if you can for this event. Information is on the website and below.

SOM Sunday Prayer and Meditation

rock-imagineTonight’s meditation will be a prayer for all those who were involved in and around the shootings and their aftermath in Orlando, FL last night , and a meditation, as I am want to do for Peace, inner peace, as well as Peace in a World that works for everyone. Nothing saddens me more than the senseless killings that have taken place. While no killing makes sense, the murder of innocents is even more distressing and unnecessary. While we can never make sense of it, we can at least grieve together and reach out for some sanity to appear among the religions, and among the world leaders to know a higher cause, as that of universal Love, empathy and compassion.

Jon us tonight if you choose.

It is on Sundays evenings at 7:30 pm ET and 4:30 PT.  We use ZOOM as our medium and meeting place for our Science of Mind® Sunday meetings, the same technology we use for our classes.

Would you rather be Right or be Happy?

Sometimes you manufacture scenarios and put them in your own way just to prove a point. It is as if you would rather be right than happy. When you catch yourself doing that stop and say, “This unpleasant thought is unnecessary.” Then choose one that feels better.
—Abraham

300happyWould you rather be Right or be Happy?

This thought has always made me laugh, because it is truly a no-brainier to me and and being happy is not mutually exclusive of being right. It does amaze me though how many people will go through life having to be right!

What does it get them, besides high blood pressure and and extreme stress. People get all worked up when their side of a story or their idea is not accepted as the truth. Everybody has an opinion and it is usually true to them. Politics is the perfect example. Each party takes credit for everything good that has taken place in the last ## of years, and blames the other party for everything wrong in those same years.And don’t get me started on what’s going on in this election year and who’s right or just not lying.

See, that’s what I mean. We start to blame. I’ve watched my friends get all worked up because the candidates on the other side are going to destroy the country! If one person in a country of 300 million can actually destroy us in a four year period or less, we’re already in such dire straits that there is no hope.

The truth is though, there is always hope.

The point is, if we would just agree with the person who has to be right or have no opinion , it knocks the wind out of their sails. There is nothing to debate or argue about. Nothing to defuse. And it doesn’t change your belief at all. You still believe X and they still believe Y. You have just allowed them to continue along their path without either antagonizing them or getting yourself all worked up, and it didn’t cost a thing.

Isn’t that so much easier and they don’t have a clue? Of course, if you have to try to win the “battle” by being right, that is your choice. Have at it.
