yes we must all be that change that we want to see 

each day i try to reach out and connect with my higher self. i send my love to her and ask her to fill me with her light and life. its the best friend we have and is filled with wisdom that will never lead us astray. and i find in doing so i feel peace. i visualize my higher self as a being of light and a source of light wisdom and love that is always available to us.

this is an affirmation i have been thinking about for a while . now is time to put pen to  paper and print it out so i can start saying it every day.

daily affirmation

i awaken this morning with gratitude. gratitude for this life, for my family, my wife , children and grandchildren, my work, my home and my consciousness. i ask in this day that i may be of service to my fellow human beings in some way. i ask for the end of suffering , the end of war, poverty, sickness and aging. may the new heaven and new earth come to pass and may all families and peoples be protected by the angels. this i ask in the name of the awakened buddha, the arisen christ and lord krishna . amen

i think its critical in todays world to have a spiritual practice. there is so much to distract us and suck us in. i would rather start my day by connecting to my higher self and the higher realms. i find the day always goes better when i do that . i like to pray and meditate and say some positive affirmations to start the day. if i dont do it i feel the difference i feel much less centered. so i find my spiritual practice helps be to be centered and not scattered during the day. i am committed to it and it definitely has benefits. hope everyone have a great day

instead of going into how i would hold a service i thought i would say that i have nothing against churches. i like churches but i dont like fundamentalism . that is the basic problem that i have. when churches become absolutists i have a problem. i am a member of the episcopalian church and i actually went to church last night for the first time in about a year. and i really enjoyed it. the episcopalian church is liberal, they have women ministers which i like , they welcome people of all sexualities and that is the way a church should be imo. so i advocate a more liberal form of christianity that includes all people. and for me passion for christ has to be there. and that has to come from within, if we dont have that personally that is more our issue than the churches issue. so that will conclude this series of posts of how i feel about christianity

my last post i said essentially that the catholic church is the church of satan. the leadership of that entity is evil period. so the question is can we find christ today without the church. the answer is most definitely yes. we dont need hierachies of people to give us permission to have communion with christ. just a simple sincere desire to do so will suffice. behold i stand at the door and knock was what he said so many years ago. if we open the door of our heart to him he will come in and we will have communion. and that is what i desire to do each day. to open the door of my heart to christ and have him come in to me each day and guide me thru the day. in the next post i will describe how i would hold a service in a church if i was doing it
