Gratitude Seals the Door
“… Be strong and of good courage; fear not, neither be dismayed; for the Lord your God is with you where ever you go.” Joshua 1:9 Lamsa Translation
The words of Joshua came early on in the history as we now have it concerning The Way.
We are told Joshua was with Moses throughout the 40 years of wilderness wondering. You might liken this wondering to the wondering of our hearts and minds sense the time of Jesus who became the Christ and his teaching us The Way or our hearts and minds wondering in modern day.
Interesting side note: The Grecianized form of Joshua was translated “Jesus.” Perhaps giving credence to some beliefs that Jesus was from the beginning as well.
Certainly the words of the scripture this week speaks to our modern world. We are all being call to be not only be strong and have good courage but we are also seeing clearly that all the practices of antiquity are needed today to keep our balance in God’s Way.
The Way is to completely relax our hearts and minds into all that is of the highest consciousness. The Way is to consciously breath deeply the peace of God and fill our physical body with life giving breath; using our first gift from God at our birth, at the highest level. The way is to take time out of our busy and somewhat hectic life to re tune our entire being to our natural harmony tone; Be Still and Know that You are one with The Father and every ones ‘I am’ presence, that is the highest vibration of all souls, on earth at this time. We are one! If we find ourselves off balance in any area of life we can turn and face to the Light and practice these ways to re-balance ourselves.
It does not matter who is what. There is only one Creative Force, one God. When we are in harmony with all that is good and for the best of all concerned we shall know.
And there is no fear or anxiety in Knowing, only power, perfect power.
In our world today there are those who act out in all the lower vibrations, but even the core of that person is perfect. Don’t walk in the shadow of fear or any other negativity or let those who will try to distract you from The Way enter and remain in your heart or mind. Be Still and Know. Remember the Vibrant Thoughts for this week; prayer about them, meditate with them and be them. Be Happy and fill your consciousness with Gratitude for especially all those little things in life.
It is with deep Gratitude for this opportunity to share my thoughts and learn with you the Creator Law of Love and the Power of Creation.
Let us share also the reflective words of an ancient Essene Hymn
as translated from The Dead Sea Scrolls
“I have reached the inner vision
and through Thy Spirit in me
Have discerned Thy wondrous secret.
Through Thy mystic impulse
Though hast caused a spring of Knowledge
To well up within me,
a reservoir of power,
Pouring forth living waters,
A flood of love
of all embracing adoration,
Like the splendor of
Eternal Light”

Summer Solstice “The Year of the Soul”
“Thou wilt keep us in perfect peace, for in thee we have trusted, O Lord, for ever and ever.” Isaiah 26:3 Lamsa Translation
Tomorrow, Monday, is Summer Solstice. We have shared in these lessons, that there is specific power in each of the solstice, which affect us and all life.
This quote from Keys of Jeshua, Chapter 18, page 229, speaks of the relevant affect on each of us, whether we are fully conscious of these affects or not. A quick look at the world today and your response may prove how the good and not so good vibrations, do affect you. “From the beginning, your growth has been the result of your inner nature interacting with the various influences of the environment. There is no such thing as being independent of the Universe, since you are part of it. You affect it and it affects you.” We are all one and all part of the vibrations of the Universe. As such it is valuable to learn about all vibrations etc. swirling around our Universe and us.
This year, known as the “Year of the Soul” is the year, we will learn to use God’s Power of Love and we will find Peace and we will be tested. It may not happen in an instant, like we generally expect things to happen but it will come to pass. There is a certain amount of peace when we can finally know this as a Truth, as our scripture states, “O Lord, for ever and ever.” The year of our Soul has the potential to bring peace higher than ever before, with the help from many Higher Universal Beings who are ready to help expand our individual Soul Light.
The Summer Solstice is the day of the greatest light in the year. It is our opportunity to ascend and be filled with the Light of Spirit, God, so that we may walk in the world and share greater Light. For each person to truly be, as my favorite script tells us: Matthew 5:16 “Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”
The King James translation of our weekly scripture: “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee.” reminds us all of our life purpose and the importance of fixing our mind on the Light and Love of God. If we are to have that peace of mind, that peace that passeth all understanding, it can come only through that fixed purpose filling our minds. What we focus upon we receive. Emphasizing the reason we say not to dwell on fear, hate, or any negative vibration. Stay anchored in God’s Love and Light. This is the only anchorage that we can count on or anticipate in this life that will endure through all kinds of stress and strife and will meet each requirement and will accomplish every good possibility, for us to have the consciousness of God. This applies not only to temporal things; it also does not apply only to the spiritual things but all situations and conditions. It means all things with which we have to contend in life.
When we begin to love God in all we see, that it is the Spirit of God the Creator of Life. For instance when we love a beautiful cloud or a beautiful flower; it is the Spirit of God that we recognize that is beauty. It is in the sunrise and sunset; the Spirit of God. It is the beauty that we find in our fellowship. It is all the desirable things that we can ask for in life. The voice of a favorite singer; the beautiful music of an orchestra or string quartet. Have you ever commented about music as being heavenly? So let us look for the Love of God in many places, we are sure we shall find it. And if it alludes us, keep our minds on the Love and Light of God that it may fill every consciousness involved and that the peace that passes all understanding will be clearly experienced by all involved.
Let us never look to God as a refuge in time of storm Let us look to God as the answer to meet any kind of condition or conditions. Peace be still. Let our Soul be filled with everlasting Light and Love of God; bring only health, harmony, gratitude and abundance into fulfillment.
It is with deep Gratitude for this opportunity to share my thoughts and learn with you the Creators Law of Love and the Power of Creation in our daily life.
We close this weeks lesson with the Chirothesian Prayer by Dr. D.J Bussell
Lord Jesus, take each of us by the hand
And lead us gently up the little Path,
Through the narrow Gate,
Through the Holy of Holies,
Into the Kingdom of God,
Where all is Righteousness.
Here each of us is one with the Father.
And we that Thee, Father,
That Thou has heard us;
Thou hearest us always.
And we that Thee, Lord Jesus,
For Leading us
Into the Way of Truth that frees,
The perfect Love that casteth out fear,
The Peace which paseth all understanding,
And the Way of Elternal Life.
Amen

“If you can believe, everything is possible to him who believes.” Mark 9:23
Believing
We use the terms Christ Consciousness and going into the Silence, but the thought accrues that we should be more specific as to what we mean. These are terms or phrases that many faith based use. But it will serve our intention if we are all on the same wave link to get the most benefit from this lesson on believing and our other lessons.
Going into the Silence is what we call a passive state; it is being still and knowing God, with absolute knowing. After we reach that passive state we can do our prayer/meditation work of our choice in topic. In the Silence we gain complete control of ourselves and those multitude of random thoughts that dance through our minds almost constantly. Those are the thoughts, like a spoiled child, which need to be controlled. The scripture regarding is this, “Be still and know.” Now this is very clear; is it not? However do we really take control of those thoughts ever or do we just push them aside for that moment?
When we do take control we are blessed by Divine Understanding, and when in control of these thoughts we are then entering our of being “One with the Father” the creator of all good and goodness. When we do take control we go from passive thinking to Christ Consciousness thinking. Christ Consciouness thinking is active thinking. The result of our control can only be good and in Harmony with original creation.
We as a people have taken burdens upon ourselves, which we really do not have to do. In Christ Consciousness the results of our prayers and meditations are in the Creators domain. We do have to prepare a place, in our mind and heart, consciousness, to welcome and to fully receive, many times an unknown. All things are made new. With each dawn comes that opportunity, every 24 hours. We must suggest that the first step into The Silence can not be skipped. All comes in order, like the seasons and the very dawning of each day. And as we are new creatures with the dawn, when we live more closely in Harmony with Christ Consciousness. Than as we sail along in Worldly Consciousness attempting to solve everything, get everything, be everything according to the pattern of the world we are creating challenges.
There used to be a radio commentator and author who always ended his radio show with, “More things are rote by prayer than this world dreams of.” We think it would be well to remember those wise words, especially when there are challenges, big or small, in our world personally and globally. However, don’t be like the heathens of many words. God knows already your challenges better than you perhaps.
We encourage every one to take that moment in the Silence, that is all it really takes. Do your five or ten count Divine Breath exercise, repeating an inhalation and exhalation three times. As you exhale, thoughtfully release what ever the challenges are for you at that moment. We remind you that there is no need to repeat their physical appearance ever. Express gratitude for being in that moment in the Silence, claim your oneness with the Divine Creator, God. On your last exhalation claim, “Thank you Father that you know my challenges before I do and your Divine Blessing upon me is prepared for me already. My heart, and mind are clear and ready to receive NOW. And so it is! God is; I am.
Leaving the worldly ‘things’ and reach for the eternal that doesn’t change;
“If you can believe, everything is possible to him who believes.” “With God all things are possible” in the right use of God’s law; Christ consciousness.
It is with deep Gratitude for this opportunity to share my thoughts and learn with you the Creator Law of Love and the Power of Creation.

The great Hindu scriptures say that God is absolute truth, absolute joy, absolute beauty. Any scientist who is seeking the absolute truth, as Einstein did, is seeking God. Anyone seeking absolute joy, whether in a tavern or in the shopping mall or in Monte Carlo, is seeking God. And anyone who is seeking absolute beauty – on a canvas or a stage or a mountaintop – is seeking God. What lovers of beauty seek in paintings, in sculpture, in dance, in music is just a reflection of the absolute beauty that is God. The real source of all beauty is God, the Beloved. by Easwaran

“I and my Father are of one accord” John 10:30
If you wonder why we’ve chosen the sun flower as a theme this week, you’ll have to excuse a trip down memory lane with me on a Sunday at the Church on Normandie. It was probably about 1981, a long time ago, but I will always remember the lesson of the wild sun flower arrangement.
We always had beautiful floral arrangements in front of the podium. But this day it was what looked like a mess of tangled wild sunflowers thrown into a vase. Everyone was a buss before service about the presentation. The subject of Dr. Bussell’s lesson was something about our responsibility to let our I AM Light shine brighter and to use the same consciousness that Jesus used; “I and my Father are of one accord.”
Rev. Greenman’s children had picked the wild sunflowers especially for Doctor Bussell. He was thrilled, and we should be as well, with their natural beauty and lesson of consciousness. “They represent the gift of Light directly from the Creator God.” We know that as Christ Consciousness. I still smile when I see wild sunflowers.
Christ Consciousness is the Way, as lived and taught by Jesus who became the Christ. Along the later part of His ministry we find Jesus’ words in John 14:12; “Truly, truly, I say to you, He who believe in me shall do the works which I do; and even greater than these things he shall do, because I am going to my Father.” Not that we would become Jesus The Christ, but His Way would afford us the same results when we remember who and why we are here on earth. We think this to be especially true at this time in world history, if you allow a note about our today.
Metaphysically we take this all to mean that when we follow Jesus’ way, of doing things, thinking about things, it means we must have the same consciousness of going to the Father always. Jesus always spoke in positives. He emphasized that the Father knows what is needed always, so we need not repeat or claim ownership about what the problem appears to be. Jesus claimed his total connection with the Creator God, and gave thanks for the Truth and the Life realized, I am one with the Father.
The Metaphysical Dictionary explains that “by continually unifying ourselves with the Highest of our thoughts and words we too shall become…” “Consciousness is that which we know that we know.”
It is our knowing the connection, without any hesitation, that we are one with our I AM and one with the Creators’ I AM and one with every man, woman and child on Earth’s I AM. That “I AM” is the Principle of life itself. So if we deal with situation in a positive way, or in the Way, the Truth and the Life with it we are on the path of truth, light, and love. There is nothing imaginary, nothing unreal that comes into the walking in this Way, in any situation at all.
It is important to know that we don’t have to be in a mind set of overcoming anything. When we put into action our own Christ Consciousness and know that the highest solution is waiting for us to make that connection with God is; I AM and very important be ready, in every respect, to receive the highest solution. We don’t have to know what form that solution comes in either. That isn’t our concern, all will be Good, as it was in the beginning as recorded in Genesis and many volumes of spiritual books of all religions.
Let your sunflowers bloom brightly as you joyfully accept this wonderful week ahead.
Know that you know, “I and my Father are of one accord.” Or you may wish to say, I am in a balanced interrelationship, Harmony, with God. Say it with your heart, mean it with all your heart and LET your special Light Shine brightly.
It is with deep Gratitude for this opportunity to share my thoughts and learn with you the Power of Creation.
Let us share also the Light Bearers:
(Translated from the Ancient Mystery Schools of the Essene)
Men of the Earth, Brothers in Eternity, shake your souls Awake.
The hour so long waited for, the promised hour has come.
Over the dark firmament of suffering humanity is rising the morning star.
Heralding the day that you will understand that mans most sacred duty is to be man.
That is, to manifest life, intelligence, truth and love.
There is no higher aim, no vaster problem.
And you who realize this will break the fetters with which ignorance and fear
have bound unconscious humanity,
and will stand up free and know yourselves to be the eternal manifestation
of the un-manifest.
Witness of the absolute, sons of the great ALL
whom you call God.
