This Blessed Season of the Christ Mass profoundly welcomes us into a more direct and dynamic access to the Presence of God, the Holy Presence. \u00a0 We also are most often exposed to challenges, stress, loneliness, lostness and unknowing. \u00a0How ironic and yet how like living in a world of duality. \u00a0The dance between the Divine, the joy, the Peace, and the Testing.<\/p>\n

I love Psalm 46:10<\/strong>. \u00a0For me it holds keys to finding the equilibrium that is available at this time and always.<\/p>\n

\u201cBe Still and Know that I am God\u201d.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a>When I was very young before I found MSIA, during the Christmas season, I had fun removing a few words incrementally and then pose the new phrase to myself as the day’s meditation:<\/p>\n

Be still and know that I Am.
\n<\/strong><\/em>And that would be my day’s meditation.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Be still and know.
\n<\/strong><\/em>The next day’s meditation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Be still.
\n<\/strong><\/em>The next meditation<\/span><\/p>\n

Be.<\/em>
\n<\/strong>Fullness, peace, stillness inside me.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nWhat If, in the middle of the stress, the urgency, the disturbance, you just Stop, and tell yourself\r\n

BE STILL.<\/blockquote>\r\nAsk for God\u2019s voice, Ask for God\u2019s stillness to enfold you. \u00a0Let go and Let God. \u00a0Relax and be patient.\r\n\r\nThen, claim and allow yourself to KNOW \"I am God\u201d. \u00a0No matter if you believe it, claim it. \u00a0Speak it.\r\n
\u201cI am God\u201d.<\/blockquote>\r\nFeel it.\r\n
\u201cI am God\u201d.<\/blockquote>\r\nListen for a moment, surrender your noise and receive the embrace of your own awareness.\r\n
\u201cBe Still, and know that I am God\u201d.<\/span><\/em><\/blockquote>\r\nOur beloved Travelers, J-R and John, have given their lives sharing the way to fulfill this message of Lord Jesus Christ, \u201cYe are Gods!\u201d. \u00a0They give, and give more to show us The Way to this beingness.\r\n\r\n\"\"<\/a>\r\n

John-Roger circa 1985<\/em> <\/p>\n

Let us give ourselves a personal challenge to BE the living ‘Thank You’, as we stand up inside ourselves in the stillness and sound of God, celebrate Goodness, touch to each other, friend or stranger with the radiation of the Living Loving of the Christ. \u00a0We are all Gods in the making.<\/p>\n

God Bless us all in this season of the Cosmic Christ.<\/p>\n

I love you,
