Confusion

 The beginning of the end or the end of the beginning is a question of knowing where one is.  To be lost in such a way that nothing makes sense anymore and one doesn’t know how to go on with one’s life.  It is all continuous and nothing makes sense.  It is too difficult to see one’s way forwards, when one’s mind is stagnant and requires a push or guidance that cannot be seen anywhere on the horizon. 

 This state of mind is when we don’t see the way forward in one’s life.  To be such is to be in a quandary.  There is no logical escape and yet one needs to continue.  One can’t just stop the world and get off.  It seems that there is no escape from the confusion that has burrowed in and yet logically one knows that there is order in everything, but one seems to have lost one’s way entirely.  Getting help is the only option, but where does one find the answer to one’s prayers without sufficient trust in the outcome.

 There needs to be light at the end of the tunnel and this is where belief in a higher intelligence comes in.  There has to be a way to ask for guidance and belief in what one is told.  One can either pray to a God that you have neglected or just throw out your thoughts into the Universe and stand back.  If you are able to genuinely ask for the problem to be taken away and that it is an answer to you, then your trust is sufficient to have this confusion taken from your shoulders.

 It is a leap of faith that puts you in a position, whereby stepping off the cliff or precipice you know that you will be saved.  This is not a physical action.  It is a spiritual state of mind.  Let the Almighty shoulder your problem for you and you walk away, knowing that this will be done in your best interests and that you will survive, but will have the peace of mind knowing that you tried to work out your future, but it was too difficult.  You needed higher help and that by walking away you felt freedom and lightness of heart, which proved that the faith was still there and that its love found a way.

Rightfulness

This is an almost saintly state of being.  There is no negativity here and all is goodness and light.  To have rightfulness is to have godly properties.  It is holy in concept and execution.  To be so called is to have achieved the highest of one’s calling.  It is what the disciples eventually achieved after been taught by the Master Jesus after his return to them.  He taught them the ways of the Lord, so that they were worthy of teaching the people.  They had to be pure in mind and body to be allowed to teach as the Master had taught.  His wife, Mary Magdalene, had always sat at the feet of Jesus and had become his greatest follower, so she was already equipped with rightfulness when she went and taught the Gospel in France.

 The disciples were always jealous of Mary, because Jesus loved Mary more than all of the rest of the band of his following.  When she had gone into hiding for her own safety and that of her unborn child, Jesus came to the disciples and taught that in righteousness what they needed to know and understand.  They all split up eventually and went their separate ways.  Partly because they felt it was safer and partly to be able to spread the Good News or Gospel to more people.  They knew that the Jews had spies everywhere and the Romans had soldiers all across the Empire.  It was not long before they were caught and executed.

 But the message had to be got out and, without social media, the Gospels had to be spread by word of mouth. They were to be written later, some seventy to one hundred years after the death of Jesus, when it became safer and Christianity became more popular.  Then the exiles wrote about what could be remembered about the life and works of Jesus.  The Spirit of the Christ would have helped to procure the many different Gospels that told of the rightfulness of Christ’s life.

 He came to lead the people, not with an army and the sword, but with words and actions of love.  His message has still endured to this day and we all try to carry his cross by helping those who are in need.  This world is full of causes and people who need helping.  We give our time to the Spirit, who guides us along our pathway of love and help those who call out for God’s help.  Often, they have reached the bottom of endurance and they are given healing by those who are chosen to ease their pain.  When they are ready, they too can help others, who in turn need to feel that love to carry them through a life of rightfulness.

Stiffness

 This is a matter of not being able to change things easily.  It is a matter of being too rigid.  There is no time to move ones opinions and the whole body may be such that there is no flexibility left.  Once one has become rigid there is no elasticity left and all is set in place.  It may be a physical thing, or it may be a mental situation, when it is very difficult to change a set pattern of behavior.  Rules cannot be broken as there is a certain lack of flexibility. 

 There is no occasion to be charitable and, as in lock down, the consequences are such that by breaking the rules of behavior there are consequences, which may be disastrous for the community. To have a stiffness in the rule breakers, can mean the spreading of the terrible virus outside the area of safety and infection spreads to other people, who were considered safe.  In order to keep the spread under control, normal behavior has to be haltered for the greater good.  Schools are shut down and social mixing halted.  Even the behavior of mixing together at the public houses or theaters are closed options.

 The loss of ones social liberties are vitally important to continue the stiffness of the rule book as travel is abandoned and only essential visits to the supermarket for food can be allowed.  Even there the wearing of masks and social distancing are carried out with rigid rules by everybody.  Lock down means that many will not be able to work and jobs are lost bringing a strain on to communities.  Only working from home is allowed apart from essential work, such as medical matters and the police are there to keep the services going.

 There is no room for any relaxation and weddings and funerals are only carried out with the minimum attendance.  The stiffness of these rules puts a strain on everybody.  Religious gatherings are banned.  The people have to learn new ways of communicating with God and the Spirit Guides.  This is not a bad thing, because of the stiffness of church services which don’t allow for personal communication and their rigid schedule is forced upon the people.  By meditating at home a new discipline is learned and it becomes possible to understand the guidance given from On High without the stiffness of being preached at by ones fellow man.  Open up your minds and invite the Spirit to come in.  You won’t be disappointed.

Five AM

 To be awake so early in the morning without any thoughts on one’s mind can be a lonely experience.  The questions of this time in the morning is almost a sacred experience.  There is nothing coming into one’s mind except the quietness of the morning.  One just lies awake hoping and expectant for a message to be given.  It was a deep enough sleep that one was awaken from and nothing came to mind, as if a message was mislaid.  There was no crackling of the old wireless tuned into one’s mind, so just this morning one felt alone in the world.

 It was good not to have any anxieties coming to mind.  Just the peace and quiet of the darkness and no thoughts of yesterday or tomorrow.  It was as though the Spirit Guides were sleeping, which they never do, but nevertheless one felt no communication coming to mind.  Maybe the three o’clock calling from the pineal gland had been missed and, although that seemed unlikely, it was the quietness that somehow seemed troubling.  One had grown used to having dreams or receiving a message during the night, but what was so special about the waiting of this moment and receiving nothing.

 The time continued to move on as the bedside clock hands continued to move forward, but the mind stood still.  I couldn’t be forgotten because we are always being cared for in the Spirit World and, although we don’t always know it, our loved ones are always awake.  There is no night there, as it is always perfect day in the Summerland.  They do not tire as we do.  They have no physical body to tire.  There is no night and day, as there is no sun or moon that divides the wakefulness of time.

 There is only the continuous gift of God’s perfect light.  It doesn’t come and go.  It is always there to enlighten our lives and we are free to explore the continual time by doing what we feel we need to do.  We will always be given tasks to accomplish during this time.  They are not jobs, but things we feel we want to do for the greater good.  We have earned our place and can enjoy the Summerland.  We will feel moved by the love there and use it every day.  If it is there, it is to be used.

The Right Way

 There are always two ways to do anything – the right way and the wrong way.  We instinctively know the right way, but we sometimes do it the other way around.  We may try to find ourselves considering the difference between the two, but it is not always so simple.  Sometimes it is only in retrospect that we can look back and see that we made the right choice when everything proved that it worked out okay.  We are not always given a second chance, but what felt right at the time turned out to be a bird of a different feather.

 What we felt at first glance turned out to be wrong.   It was not possible until later on in life to see that it wasn’t the right choice and what at the time seemed obvious enough.  We seemed certain that what we wanted was the right way to go, but it wasn’t until later that we could see our mistake.  In hindsight it seemed like a clear choice and yet it worked out badly.  There is a saying about first impressions can be the right thing, as in love at first sight.  It can be so, but it isn’t always true.  Judging by the number of divorced couples one has to doubt it.

 Love should be unconditional for future happiness and it needs to be on both sides.  That way it is more likely to last the test of time.  It is no use thinking that love will find a way to change a bad habit, because a leopard doesn’t change its spots and once a person has formed a habit it generally is ingrained for life.  Love is said to be blind and it covers up the bad points in another’s character, but the truth is that at the beginning all is there to see and a good hard look at the realities are a necessary thing to see.

 There is always the right way of doing things, but does one always see it at the time?  We need to always be clear about our actions and not be too forgiving of another’s faults.  Takers will always be takers and givers need to beware!  Once a person is evaluated as a taker they need not come calling to a giver, who will always lose out and regret their decision.  Often, they will say,” How can I have been so stupid not to have seen it?”  Well, that question cannot be answered!  One can be blinded by the faults in another, but it will come up time and time again until the right decision is made.  One gets no Brownie points for getting it wrong, so make the right choice and don’t look back.  It is only God who is perfect and gets everything right.  He doesn’t need a second chance, so why should you?

Loneliness

 It is usually when you grow older that you lose your partner and become lonely.  It is not easy to find another to fill the loss.  Once the compatibility has been lost by the death of one’s partner or they went off with another and leave you as a single person again.  Love may be stronger on one side of the relationship and it is not easily filled by another.  Whatever the reason, Mankind is gregarious and was designed to lie with another, like the animals in Noah’s Ark, they would be together in pairs.  Then they can have fulfillment and bring up a family, which is a full time occupation.

 When the children grow up and move away, they often leave a lonely couple, who may not stay together or do not choose another to find comfort with.  Old age causes illness to come calling and one or another passes leaving a hole that isn’t filled.  Whatever the cause there can be a lot of single people, who have to become self-reliant when there is more to fulfill in their lives.  They often are found with a pet.  A cat or dog to fill the void and love is kindled.  It is a very lonely place to come home to without the presence and the welcome of another.

 At the time of writing, many are caught up in the pandemic and can’t go out, and friends can’t call.  Then people are often alone and reliant on the telephone or the computer to make contact.  Some try online dating and become at risk of the swindlers, who fill the eager persons yen for loving company and find themselves falling for a sob story and give away their money in a scam.  Then, when they have lost their savings, they also lose the company of the wicked deceiver and become lonely again feeling foolish and lost.

 Society needs to be aware of those living on their own and get them involved in local social gatherings.  Many souls have attributes that they can share and for a few hours a week they can share some friendliness.  There are church functions that often are run by those who know the price of being alone and even those who have faith may find comfort in attending a service.  However, nobody is totally alone, as we all have our Spirit Guides, who love us and guide us, if we are able to be sensitive enough to allow them to communicate.  We will find it such a comfort and work to become useful to do God’s will and work for the greater good, which is why, of course, we are here in the first place.

The Good News

 After the death of the Messiah, Jesus was seen alive by many people.  He especially appeared among his disciples, who he taught the way of God and how we should all live together in love, peace and harmony.  It was well known that Jesus was a married man and that his wife was pregnant.  She was in fear for her life, as the Jews as well as the Romans wanted the end of the Messiah’s line for good.  They didn’t want a King to rule over the Jews and take over the Sanhedrin.  The Roman Empire wanted no competition from a man, who some said would head an army to destroy the Roman Empire.

 The followers of Christ became known as Christians and they worshiped and prayed carrying out their faith in secret.  They buried their dead in Catacombs underneath Rome itself, but eventually one of the Roman Emperors called Constantine saw his political course to adopt Christianity, as the official Roman religion and instead of worshiping many gods, as they had been doing, they now took only one under their control.  He, under the Roman Catholic Church, gave it the earthly power it needed.  Instead of following the teachings of Jesus Christ, they became hungry to keep their power and wealth.

 There followed a uniting of the smaller local gatherings, which, when empowered by the new hierarchy of Bishops, the single message that came was solely out of Rome.  A Pope headed the Church and there were Bishops and Archbishops to interpret the words of the Gospels that had been allowed and chosen as genuine.  Others were burned or destroyed by hired armies and women were massacred by the Inquisition.  Far from being the Kingdom of Love, the Roman Catholic Church was intent in preserving their power and wealth for themselves.  Fornication became a sin and Jesus was wrongly branded as being celibate.  This meant all priests had to be celibate so leaving a powerful way for abuse to be carried out against children and women, who were equally abused as sinners.

 This Church became so fearful of women, because they knew that Jesus was married and after his death, his wife fled from Rome.  She made her way to France, where she had a baby daughter and they taught the teachings of Jesus in the south-west France, where there are many churches and buildings that testify to these things.  The Royal line based on the daughter’s marriage continued the one line that was what the Church still feared.  Even after hundreds of years there was the slaughter of the wealthy Crusaders, who invented banking and built great Cathedrals.  Their treasure was never found but they worshiped the Magdalene and honored her as the bride of Christ.
