LETTER TO CRITICS

LETTER TO MY CRITICS

 Dear Christians,
Some of you believe that my blog does not favor enough CHRISTIANITY.
Here is why...
The aspect of my blog is universal showing mostly with quotes from different sources, that all faith traditions lead to the Ultimate Reality called God by the three Abrahamic religions (Christianily, Islam, Judaism) and called differently by other faith traditions.
From my readings and from talking with people of different traditions, it is obvious that people from different faith, experience the God of their heart and  realize our oneness and holiness. Isn't that our common goal?
For too long, each of the major faith tradition has considered itself superior causing divisions and even war/killing.
Now, do you see how this blog (in a small way) tries to rectify that error?...
If we realize our unity and oneness, we will have peace on Earth.
Thank you for reading this blog regardless of the church/temple you attend or no church, or the faith tradition you profess.  And may we live in Peace as One Family. Amen.

Namaste...lucy

DESERT BEAUTY

Image
A CACTUS IN BLOOM SPEAKS OF PRAISE A WHOLE DESERT SPEAKS OF STILLNESS The desert is like a monastery where one meets Presence. Sometimes life's events feel desert-like; yet we are not alone, in the midst of our solitude, we find Presence, Stillness... The desert is a place of transformation and freedom. It can mean a place to die... The desert is a mystical place where creation and God are ONE. God is an artist...."How Great Thou Art"...(hymn) "The beauty of the world is Christ's smile for us coming through matter."  Simone Weil Desert beauty invites stillness; it connects us with our true Self, our Divine Self. And that is beauty!! ( photos on this post were sent by a friend from Tucson, Az ) Search NATURE BEAUTY or INDEX http:// connectwithlucyusingphotos. blogspot.com

SURRENDER...LET GO...ACCEPT

Image
SURRENDER is  not  giving up as when an army submits to the other side. Surrender means letting our Higher Self  (called the Universal Force/Flow by Singer) take control of our life.  For that to happen, we have to let go the voice of ego ( voice of resistance) chattering in our mind wanting to control events. For years I had been willing to let go of my personal preferences and focus on doing the absolute best I could with what life presented to me...a life built for me, not by me. Challenging situations create the force needed to bring about change. I was learning to sit quietly in the midst of the howling winds and wait and to see what constructive action was being ask of me.    Michael A. Singer from his book THE SURRENDER EXPERIMENT, 2015,  (post inspired by that book) If anything is worth doing, do it with all your heart.    Buddha Self conquest is really self-surrender.    Thomas Merton Can anyone of you by worrying add a single hour to the span of your life?   Lk 12:2

PARADOX

Image
PARADOX    According to the dictionary, a paradox  is a statement appearing contradictory, yet true. Life is a paradox because many events seeming disastrous, bring us meaning and joy. New life means death to behavior destroying us. We need both solitude and community to survive. Breathing to be whole requires both inhaling and exhaling...Negative and positive events are part of life and therefore requires no judging.  The wisdom is in resisting to label them bad or good but simply in accepting the event as it is. Darkness often brings light. Our struggles, crosses, suffering, pain,  can be transforming. (see yin/yang.... two opposite but complementary, bringing balance to life) If we can live with the tension of opposites, we might find freedom and hope because in the midst of tension, Someone is there taking care of us... In our struggle, we eventually see the blessing, the Grace moment, the God moment. Like Jonas, I find myself traveling toward my destiny in the belly of paradox
