Happy Easter everybody !! Easter (and Good Friday) is a big day in a number of our world’s religions. It’s the day one of our greatest prophets, and you can use the word messiah, Jesus, drove one of his greatest and most important messages home to all humanity, and even died for us to know it.

That being ‘We are of spirit and we are the body of God”.
So, he rose from the dead and walked among us as a spirit the same way he did as a man. “These things and more you too shall do”. he taught over and over again, but we still don’t listen or learn and people, Christians especially, will accuse you of blasphemy or of being a heritic if you suggest you can do or feel the same as Jesus, even though he told us we can. Crazy Huh! Self- Contradicting.
If you follow him, why don’t you believe it can be done? Some theologians would say that that’s the second coming of Christ, our accepting the Christ within us all,
but that is not for me to speculate.

All I can say is Jesus was my kind of guy.
Got pissed off at hypocrites, fought against injustice, loved all as equals, saw the beauty in the human condition and in all of us, did everything he could to show us a better way and give us a brighter day.

When Gandhi was asked what he thought of Christianity he answered “I think it’s great. Someone should try it” :-/
and he was right. Most Christians I know don’t actually behave the way Jesus taught. If that offends anyone I’ll bet my bottom dollar you don’t practice tollerance or forgiveness the way Jesus taught. Though, like Jesus, I am a theological revolutionary I study the texts of the Bible, The Course in Miracles, The Bhagavad Gita, the Koran and my beloved favorite – The Tao,

I practice Zen and meditate and follow the teachings of Lao Tsu, Buddha, Krishna and Mohammad, Moses and even the guy who started it all, Abraham, I am a true Christian because I actually do live my life by the principles that Jesus taught and have a much better life because of it.
I don’t care what religion you are (I find great merit and value in all of them) if you’re not up on what Jesus taught and into his philosophies and principles and putting them into practical application in your own life, what the hell are you waiting for and what’s your problem?
The guy was briliant.

As science has now proven Jesus right, we are all just a beautiful, interconnected energy with an intellegence behind it and are all a part of God, or as I prefer to call it, The Divine Imagination Itself.

So rejoice yall, he is risen and within all of us to this day, and if you don’t think so in the face of the strenght of this spirits words still being spoken about around the globe by so many millions with such passion 2019 years after he said them then you are in denial and just getting in your own way. So, snap out of it, get with it and be more like Jesus. The world will be a better place and you’ll have a better life.

BTW, Jesus is not about religion, Jesus is about philosophy. A really good one. Jesus was cool and listening to what he tried to share with us is just plain smart <3

I spoke at a recent Bayside High School Alumni Reunion, Class of 60-64. In the group there were a few veterans . One was a Tuskegee Airman and the other served in the Pacific during World War II and wore a Veterans Cap.
During the event I kept looking over and spotting the old man with the veteran’s cap.

The evening went on and at the point when I had to leave I stopped at the end of the table where the veteran with the cap sat and I announced loudly to everyone to get their attention, that it was my pleasure to meet all of them . Having gotten all their attentions I went on and asked if there were any other veterans at the table other than the gentleman with the Veterans Cap.
There were two. The Tuskegee Airman and another . So, I addressed to the three what I had intended for the senior in the WWII cap. I told everyone how lucky and fortunate I have been in my life to have been in the places I have found myself and found the places I have been to be filled with opportunity, and I went on to say that I have taken many chances in my own life and put myself out there on the line many times, with no safety net to catch me, to see what my potentials can do. and that not for one minute do I take for granted that the life I lead and the life I have been blessed to pursue and the freedoms I enjoy to find and make my own way in the world are a result of their service in the military and the role that these gentleman played in all our lives , and that I am very grateful to them. Then I turned back to the man with the cap who was sitting directly to my left that I had periodically been glancing at while I was speaking and I put my hand out to thank him.

As if no one else existed in the world , for that brief moment when that veteran placed his hand into mine with a bit of look of surprise on his face because he didn’t expect where I was going with this and that the whole time I was speaking about him , for that brief isolated moment in time , when two hands met with a good firm and steady handshake , we looked each other directly in the eye while I pursed my lips ever so tightly and shook my head up and down ever so gently and silently told him with a glance the depth of my appreciation.
For that brief moment , contained in that glance and handshake was a message he so deserved to hear. A recognition from his future to his past and a message to his past from the future he would help to mold had just come back to him. You could see in his eyes the connection that was just made within his own life, in that public place, with a whole room full of alumni and friends to witness , and that he seemed to really like that very much 😉

Patience is a virtue.

Group Admin My father taught me that “The Greatest Strength – Is Gentle”. He’d look at me in a quiet moment and if the coast was clear and there was nobody around and nothing interfering with the moment between us he’d seize that moment and say, “Subtly Rules and Quiet Strength Reigns 🙂 That’s a good one to remember”. 😉 and he’d smile “. I would liken the feeling to Daddy Warbucks flipping a coin to a kid on the corner , and feeling like the kid that it was just got tossed a brand new silver dollar 😀 .
