Its the nearly the end of November, its Saturday 29th, but then I am sure you know this.
Its 5.35am ish. I wont be exact at the time of course is constantly changing.
We must learn to be present in each moment, with love, joy and forgiveness.
If you accept, as I do that in the beginning, before the universe was brought into existence of space, time, energy; there was a power before all. All that was and was timeless, yet created time and all that is now.
Well, here we are then.
Although I have been awake since around four in the morning, its only now that I am feeling a certain tranquility. I put a lot of this down to spending nearly an hour in meditation, prayer, but also then some time using the Procyon AVS audio visual synthesizer. One could and I will, describe it as a meditation machine.
At Me!
A dog is not just for Christmas. Put some in the freezer and it will last into the new year. Joke. Honest Maisy.
As we near Christmas so many people will enter into a time of joy and merriment. Exchanging presents and imbibing of much food and alcohol. Not giving a thought to the real meaning of this greatest holiday season!
Yes its about exchanging gifts and extolling joy, peace and love, but its so much more.
I long ago, as now have my two sons, been confirmed into the Christian faith. Yet I realize that so many who call themselves Christians are not in reality. If we went into any western prison or church, or company board room; we will come across those who will with their mouths say, “Lord, Lord.” yet with there actions follow there own selfish desires. I had once been given a banknote and so assumed it was as it said, a twenty pound note. Yet when I tried to use it in exchange for some goods in a shop, was denied. The shopkeeper told me it was a counterfeit. I had not known when I accepted it, yet that did not change the fact that it was worthless. Do not be fooled by appearances. We will find so many false people who will tell us that they will show us the way to salvation.
Being a Christian means to follow the way of Jesus. Jesus says to us, that however we treat the least of people, we treat Him. We are not to judge and yet we do. I do. I will often feel good (o what a self righteous wretch I can at times be!) when having bought something in a shop, I put the change in the charity box. Yet often I will look at a person who asks me to spare them some change and answer that I have none. I may actually have some and be thinking to myself that its not good for me to give to them. They are likely to be spending it on alcohol, or drugs. This is not an excuse, as one can on other occasions see these people in drunken, wasted states.
The God though who is meant to be in me, when I say, `I no longer live, yet Christ lives in me` did not come to judge, but to set us free.
Forty years ago, when I was a boy scout – before I broke the law and was sent to reform school – we were taught the motto, `Be prepared`. So now I will try to have change to give to those, with out questioning what they need it for. Jesus said that however I treat the least of His people, I treat Him. If I am to become a good follower of the Way ( I Am The Way, The Truth and The Life. Spoke Christ.) Then it is my duty to feed the hungry, heal the sick and comfort those who mourn.
Do not be fooled into thinking that you will find God in any temple or building, except your own body. Make your body the temple fit for the spirit of God to dwell. (Or not, it is up to you, if you have free will.)
This is the only way I will be sure to follow my bliss. No material things will give me real satisfaction, as they are all illusion.
I must be present in each moment with Love, joy and forgiveness! This I send to you and all beings.
Your brother of Jesus Christ and all the saints, Peter. Post script, This I send to you and all beings. what was I on about there, its not like I had been drinking! Strange one that and so I suppose I can be a little bit strange at times. Why not as long as my heart is in it also! Blessings brothers and sisters upon you.
