Prayer of Expansion

CHRIST EXPANSION STARTING WITHIN YOU

Beloved at the center of my mind and heart – deepest memory of
Of My True Self…

I Pray:

That everyone I see, pass by, interact with or Think of,
That you come forth in them, that they may be blessed…

And everyone they see, pass by, interact with or Think of,
That You Shine forth in their lives, that they may know You…

And everyone that they see, pass by, interact with or Think of,
That you Blaze Forth in their lives, that we may see You in
Each Other…

And so on…and so on…and so on…

So that there may be Forgiveness and Peace on Earth…
Freedom from Racial and Religious intolerance,
And deliverance from ego and injustice.

Thank you Beloved, for having already answered this
Spoken Prayer of my mind and the
Unspoken Prayer of our Collective Heart.

This that I have prayed in the Name and through the Power
Of the Living Christ Presence in all that is…

Amen.

Buddhism and Relationships

Thanks to David for sending a link to this article along to the group. The following article covers how Buddhism can help to heal a broken heart.


I especially like this paragraph:

Love can never be made safe. It is the opposite of safe. The moment you try to make it safe, it ceases to be love. I realize this is a bummer, but think about it. Love is predicated on receptivity, on opening up again and again and again to your beloved, each time afresh. To do this, you have to let go of insisting that he or she conform to your standards for what a lover should look like, do, be, or say, and instead allow him or her to simply be him or herself. Then you take it from there. To do otherwise, to continually choose who you wish this person was over who he or she actually is, is, well, it's not love. I don't know what it is. (Of course none of this stands to reason should any form of emotional or physical abuse be present. At this point you can forget everything I just said and protect yourself.)

And this quote by American Buddhist nun, Pema Chodron, is priceless:

"Feel the feelings. Drop the story."

How to do this? The article has a few suggestions:

1. Develop a non-judgmental relationship with your mind.

2. Stabilize your heart in the open state.

3. View your whole life as path.



Beautiful. Thank you for sharing this, David.

Prayer of Oneness

Beloved at the center of my mind and heart – deepest memory of
Of My True Self…Kindler of Life and Love…

To you I speak directly:

I am of you…as such, you are in me and I in you....

I pray that our Hearts touch...and blend as one...

And from this Reality, I Experience and Stay in Your Peace...Your Tranquility...Serenity... Compassion....Detachment...Joy…Love....Our Love Endures Forever…

I Pray that our Minds touch and meld as one...your thoughts to my thoughts, my thoughts to your thoughts…Your Thoughts are my thoughts….my thoughts are Your Thoughts…

In this Truth and from this Perspective, I remain and perceive deeply and clearly into All you bring my way...and I behold your Spirit upon the Land of our Collective Hearts!

And a Third Union…Our Mind and Heart are now One…From this Garden, born are manifold fruits…Wisdom…Wholeness and Balance…Patience and Tolerance…Humility and Courage…Forgiveness and Freedom...!

As Such....Enlightenment, Motivation, Inspiration, Creativity, and Strength are upon me!
I am Spiritual And Immune...
I Stay Ego Free...Thus you are Freed in me…and I am Freed in You...

Stay In God…

In Our Co-creation of my perception, there can then be no Lack nor Want, for You Awaken me…
In Holy Family’s Embrace already I am…

Your Will be done in me, for that is my Will...I Am Light...Light of your Light, may I reflect you as in an unclouded mirror…Shine forth…within and beyond my sight…as ripples on a still lake, Our Light sparks more Love…as an expounding Wave Front of Light, it breaches the shores of shade
And shadows do then but fade.

Thank you Beloved for having already answered this spoken Prayer of my mind...and the Unspoken Prayer of our Collective Hearts…Amen…

Breakthrough

Our Breakthrough is nobler than our flowing out.
For when I flowed out from God and all creatures
shouted, "God!"
they were saying that I was a creature.
And this cannot make me happy.
In my Breakthrough, on the other hand,
I am neither God
nor creature.
Rather,
I am what I was
and what I shall remain now and forever.

In my flowing-out I entered creation
In my Breakthrough I re-enter God.

Only those who have dared to let go
can dare to re-enter.

In this Breakthrough
I discover
that God and I
are one.

There,
I am what I was,
I grow neither smaller nor bigger,
and I am an immovable cause
that in turn moves all things.

Just as God breaks through me,
so do I break through God in return.

And,
When God draws the soul to him/herself
then the soul becomes divine
but God does not become the soul.

In Blue Fire

In blue hues of fire does my heart shed its ego cloak...beyond the land of desolation and ruin, beyond the storm does the promise land lay…in wait...in ever potential, exponential in its true nature, Love to be that was before...in pureness never ends...just sleeps in evolution of heart and soul....deep roots are not touched by the frost though all else is torched in fire and ice...and all that remains, is the true self, the Gold that does not glitter, but testifies from whence it came, from Love to Love, God in self expression, in us. Then does laughter, light and sweet...from hurt to joyous mirth, sets the land to life, the promised land…It will be healed, my Land, My heart...in the Fire I do Stand and grin...In Joy I know…now we are free in Light, no ego’s blight...beyond time’s embrace.

Answer

I've always loved this song. And as I hear it again tonight, it sounds like a beautiful conversation between God and his son.

Enjoy.



Answer
by Sarah McLachlan

I will be the answer
At the end of the line
I will be there for you
While you take the time
In the burning of uncertainty
I will be your solid ground
I will hold the balance
If you can't look down

If it takes my whole life
I won't break, I won't bend
It will all be worth it
Worth it in the end
Cause I can only tell you what I know
That I need you in my life
When the stars have all gone out
You'll still be burning so bright

Cast me gently
Into morning
For the night has been unkind
Take me to a
Place so holy
That I can wash this from my mind
The memory of choosing not to fight

If it takes my whole life
I won't break, I won't bend
It will all be worth it
Worth it in the end
'Cause I can only tell you what I know
That I need you in my life
When the stars have all burned out
You'll still be burning so bright

Cast me gently
Into morning
For the night has been unkind
