I had the feeling this morning that I wanted to give something more to the world and its people. I feel as though I have been too self centered of late. It is so easy to slip into the self; I felt the need to expand and reach out. I have nothing to give, but God gives in abundance and will help me give through visual prayer. The evidence of God’s abundance is all around us: Grass, trees, flowers, animals and seven billion viable, busy people. And God will give even more any time we ask. So this morning, I felt the need to walk this round earth spreading good will and extra God energy. The other people who gather were also willing to walk around the earth.
Our walk today was strange and amazing. As we gathered at the top of a high mountain, Jesus joined us clothed in vivid light, then suddenly all of us sank down into the snow, waste high on top of the mountain and we remained inside the earth and outside the earth as we began to walk the land, silent, invisible giants sending out God energy. The land had the consistency of water as we waded across continents. God’s energy seemed like solid matter as it flowed across the land in front of us like an ocean wave and then scattering golden sand nuggets around.
As we met them, many people seemed to embrace the flood of glowing, sparkling spirit wave with great pleasure, opening their mouths to swallow as much as they could, while other people ignored our passing, busy with earthly concerns. The water substance rolled in front of us like a golden wrinkle upon the land.
I suddenly realized that Jesus was teaching us that the earth was malleable because at one point, my friend reached down into a crack where the earth was flawed and reversed a small flow of something. Another person smoothed out an unsteady rock far below the surface. Even I could put my hand into the earth or change a surface feature as I walked. A demonstration of what the mind is truly capable of if it is mature, as some of the people who gather on the mountain are. We were all giants as we rolled the golden light in front of us.
I asked why we couldn’t stop the earthquakes and volcanoes. Jesus told us that these things must be, that there were too many flaws to prevent them all from occurring, so we gave up and concentrated our effort on the souls we met as we walked around the world. To us, it looked like we flooded the whole world with an ocean of golden peace, joy and love from God. Many people accepted the feeling as good. Certainly, I felt good as I watched a few people take a breath as the rolling wave of energy filled their soul. This new version of spreading love was done under the direction of Jesus, so we knew it must be effectual. By the end of our walk, hundreds of people had joined to further spread the light.

I was watching my cat watch a squirrel in the tree from the front window. The squirrel sat very still as did my cat, both knowing they were being observed. I think animals have an awareness of each other that humans lost long ago. The same would go for trees and plants. When my philodendron is in distress because it needs water, it seems to brush my skin as if trying to communicate. Sometimes I think to walk around and touch the larger plants, but for some reason, I feel that the philodendron is of a higher order and needs my presence more than the others. I realize this may be a personal quirk of mine, perhaps shared by other nature lovers, but considered weird by most. I wonder if it is because now that I am older, I can take the time to observe and feel my surroundings. When we are constantly on the go, many of my days are like that, we tend to neglect the more intimate areas of natural life.
No doubt we have gained from our busyness. I just wanted to make a comment on a potential that we humans may find again at the end of our evolution, mirroring in panorama a single individual’s growth to wisdom. One day we will become wise, but I guess the fun of it is getting there. Jesus smiles at this because Jesus experiences this effort along with us, no doubt, sharing with delight in our triumphs, and a frowning with patience at our failures. Jesus agrees with this and has stated as much to me before. We should remember that on one level, Jesus sees it all at once, so already knows what we will become.

I don’t know if I should write this, but Jesus told me something about myself that pleases me.
He said, “We are going to use you as an example.”
I know he meant good by his statement. Even though he didn’t elaborate, I assume he means that he and his angels will keep me reasonably healthy (a really great value at my age), safe from harm, and hopefully financially viable. I know Jesus and the angels helped me make it through the worst times, but now, maybe they want to show the world how they reward a person who befriends Jesus, especially since I am so public. I should mention the best give of all, the ease of mind knowing that all will be well. I tend to worry even about trite things, which I will probably continue to do no matter what.

I am sitting at my tiny pond and watching the sunlight twinkle between the tree leaves, the water splash down, and the birds twittering in the high trees on this warm-cool day of perfection. I thought to come out here and travel with Jesus to another planet but find that I don’t want to leave this pleasant piece of ground, this gorgeous earth. I know it has flaws such as sickness and strife and all that bad stuff, but truly the most horrible woes are far apart and infrequent, unless a person works in an area that brings them face to face with trauma every day. For my part, the blue sky with fluffy clouds is like a French romantic painting that I don’t choose to pull away from right now.
Jesus tells me that I am going to slow down anyway, already have, that I will stop writing of our travels in a couple of years. He doesn’t mind. He told me that I have already written more than was needed. He didn’t say needed for what, but we can surmise that the next generation will want to know that such a thing as mind travel is possible. Jesus stands next to me now as I write and listen to the water tinkle on the rocks and I reach out to hit at a mosquito now and again. Which reminds me of my attempt last year to make myself mosquito proof. It didn’t’ work, but I’ll try again for the fun of it. There may be a trick to it that I haven’t learned yet, a different style of concentration maybe. For now, I feel so deeply loved. I know I don’t deserve it, but who does? Jesus tells me to just enjoy, to stop worrying about getting my book done or start the next painting. In other words, stop, relax, and smell the roses for the next few weeks. My student is leaving soon and my granddaughter is coming to visit about the same time. I promised the student a steak dinner, which I am unable to cook, so I hope to take him to a nice steak house before he leaves, a little more extravagant than a Coney. My granddaughter teases me that I am too penny pinching and old fashioned. She is right. But I have a come-back for her, I have gained oodles of wisdom as I aged, wisdom that I wouldn’t give that back for anything, not even youth.
Ah, the water pouring from my rain barrel into the pond is turning the small rocks into treasures of color, the little rubber snake is wiggling in the water, and a small breeze is ruffling the tree leaves and my hair and filling the air with perfume from the tiny flowers. Jesus laughs with me in my contentment. Plus, the mosquitoes have left me alone for a while.
This is my latest painting. I intend to paint others like
it.

As I meditated and joined the others on the mountain, I kept drifting away and then after a short while bringing myself back again. The others laughed when I tried to apologize. No need they said, we do similar all the time. Suddenly, I understood. I am probably the only one of our group who needs to physically sit while meditating. The others, more wise than I, meditate off and on as they go about their day, which would explain why they are always ready and willing to travel. They must visit in pieces of time but to me it looks like they are there as steady images.
Well, I do speak to Jesus throughout the day so maybe that counts too. I think we have all evolved in our ability to meet on God’s mountain because we continually receive great nourishment from it.
What
brought these thoughts on was the fact that Jesus smiled joyfully at me this
morning as if I had done something good or of great import; I hadn’t, as far as
I know. In fact, just the opposite. I couldn’t stay focused so I decided to
climb the mountain, one huge boulder at a time, and then walk between and
around rock sticking out on snowy paths,
paths that perhaps no human has ever put foot on. I think I was climbing
in the Himalaya Mountain Range because the peaks where I climbed were not knife
sharp like the peaks in the
I think I shouldn’t put this writing on the web, yet, if anyone is reading it, maybe it is good to see how I struggle on certain days and get lazy. We are all just humans trying to reach the next plateau in life. Which brings me to what I was thinking about this morning, how no matter what we do, it is all important to God who sees it all as if time were complete, but also, in a personal, human sense through Jesus. I believe God lives through us. Well, that is an exaggeration. Jesus told me that not everyone accepts his presence or direction so he isn’t as close to them, but he would interact with everyone if they would allow it. I never did figure out why Jesus was pleased with me.

I climbed the mountain to meet with the others. A few climbed with me even though I don’t think they needed to do so. Climbing around boulders and through the snow helps me orientate myself in place. Any mountain will do and I don’t know where we gathered again this morning. We stood and called to many children and people. We had quite a mixed group this morning, American Indian, Japanese, Indian, Tibetan, African, and other people from diverse places. Each of us called a few children to gather with us for a few minutes.
We stood and called to God and as God filled us with energy, he put on a show for the children this morning, sending fast revolving rings of light around us as we held hands. It looked like electrons spinning around an atom or planets around a sun. Then the rings of light rose in a spiral up into the sky only to fall back down again in sprinkles of flowers. A young girl picked up a flower and rubbed its softness against her cheek until it dissolved, but the light energy inside our bodies hadn’t dissolved. The children glowed from the inside out, and smiled in pleasure.
Feeling energized and powerful, we began a quick march around the world, pulling a blanket of God’s light energy behind us. The walk was quick, because now that the children had become familiar with the routine, they ran ahead of us in quick spurts, throwing their arms out and twisting them around to spread the light as far as it would go as they laughed in delight. They joy was infectious and we laughed with them.
I see these children as part of a future we can’t imagine. Right now, the body of humanity acts as if infected with many cells gone bad, such as the political turmoil scattered around the world with American stubbornness leading the pack. Well anyway, the light is a mild cure for what ails us. I see it healing a bit here and there, though not enough, never enough. But one day, for these children, it may change and they will know how to call on and use the vast power of God. Hope runs eternal.
Once again, I wonder what children take away from such experiences as this. Probably not too much at present, but the memory may play out and even be useful at a later time in life. For myself, after Jesus led us in rolling light across the earth like a huge ocean wave, I came away with a lot of artistic ideas for a painting. Now I just need to get it out of my head and onto canvas.

As I walked
with Jesus in the meadow this morning, I thought to ask about jobs in a mature
world, like far in the future. I had just read about the 20% unemployment in
some parts of
Jesus told me that they do what they want to do. “They love planting seeds.”
I remembered on Angel world as I walked through the corn, I felt each corncob growing and shared happiness with it, so I can understand people making furrows and delightfully putting seeds into the ground. But what about berries when they are out of season; Would anyone preserve them?
Jesus said “No. The people eat what is in season. Everyone does what they want.”
Implied is that the people only want what is available, a hard concept for us to get our heads around. Although, all of the mature worlds had small populations with scattered villages, and I believe they keep it that way intentionally.
I thought about the Amish who live simply and wondered if they are comparable, but I don’t think so because they have many restrictions and dress codes. Even though most the places Jesus took me to having human populations lived simply by choice with only a few mechanical or electronic implements, but also without restrictions. I imagine that they finally learned what makes for true happiness.
When I asked Jesus if people are ever busy, he told me that some planets are dedicated to producing and manufacturing products for other worlds. There too, he explained, the few people are there because they choose to be and love to work with their hands.
I can imagine this easily because some people love to build small things with wood and other materials. So in a mature place, everyone does what they love to do. As far as I can tell, the biggest difference between them and us is their power of mind over matter. People in the future will have trained themselves to understand the mind which protects them from things sharp or hurtful. They can also control their body temperature to match the weather. All this is done with God in evidence.
I asked
about New Earth, and if the people live and work the same as now. Jesus said
they don’t. He said that New Earth has a lot of pockets where people choose to
live as their ancestors did once, and that might include hard labor in
I know this painting isn’t beautiful, but it portrays the idea that we may become be so filled with electronics that we will ignore even nature.

All through the mass tonight, during the celebration of The Sacred Heart of Jesus, through Father Thomas’s talk about the history of the Sacred Heart church, I kept thinking of Jesus’ tiny seed. How Jesus planted the smallest of seeds, as he said like a mustard seed, that grew up to cover the earth and reach up to heaven. He told the apostles that was what he was doing, but they couldn’t understand at the time. Only now, 2000 years later can we really appreciate what Jesus has given us, how he waters and tends and loves each part of the plant that spread through history and into the future. How so many good people have spent their lives helping tend Jesus’ garden and the offshoots he began to include people of every race and nationality. That tiny seed Jesus planted has not only spread around the earth but will also reach out into space in the future.
Awesome, isn’t it, that this human race, this seething cauldron of wants and desires and joys and hates, will eventually grow up to carry Jesus’ garden of love forward and spread it to every planet we touch. No wonder Jesus loves us. No wonder we love him.
6/16/12
I asked Jesus to hug me this morning and he did, to give me pleasure. Over and over again, Jesus has told me how he wants all of us to be happy, to be content with our lives, to know when we have enough, and most especially, to do the only thing he really asked of us, to love one another. I think this is the whole summation of the New Testament, Jesus request that we be good to other people. Such a simple request, yet utterly profound-and hard to do.
To accomplish it we would need to stop using other people for our own needs, to stop exploiting other nations, stop taking the most of everything, stop selfishly using up resources that God meant everyone to enjoy. The list could fill pages.
We are still too immature to do what Jesus requests as of yet. The more privative the people, the more rules they need. God gave us a long list, Jesus, perhaps knowing that we would grow up one day, gave us a shorter list. Still, we feel we need all kinds of restrictions and rules, should do’s and do not’s. Well, maybe we need them. When a time comes that we don’t need them, hopefully, we will understand to let them go and just give Jesus what he asked of us all along—love and concern for everyone and everything around us.

I notice that I can get sentimental and even soppy at times. I apologize. The purpose of these writings is to share what I learn, not preach. Yet, I am often so astounded by the wealth of this world and the spenders all around me, I can’t help giving a bow to the one who made it all possible. Thank you God.

After we gathered on the mountain this morning, Each of us called a few children to join us in worshiping God. We joined hands and then, filled with light within and without, we raised our arms to God. Instead of traveling to other planets, I led the children to various places of worship on earth. We went into an old looking cathedral and sat in the pews for a minute as a priest said mass, we went to the middle east and bowed down with hundreds of Muslims as they said their call to prayer, we went to the wailing wall where orthodox Jews were swaying and praying their rhythmic prayer and joined in for a moment, we went into South America and joined a long precession of people carrying an icon of Mary, The Mother of God, covered in fresh flowers, we went to a small room where people were twirling around to get their minds in contact God. I told the children these people were of the Sufi religion and should be greatly admired for their openness, and last, we went into a European monastery to join the monks as they sang holy chants that flowed out the windows and over the countryside. I explained to the children that it is these holy people everywhere who shine the light that holds the world together. Then we said good-by to the children and went to our own homes.
I took a moment to thank Jesus for keeping me on a valuable path. I have noticed that no matter how small we are by societies standards, with God’s direction, each of us can loom large in our ability to give to others even if only a sincere smile. Somehow Jesus finds even the most simple a job where they can help lift other people up. This is also the job of all the major religions. By teaching us to worship God, they lift us up to be more worthy, honorable, and generous that we might have been.
6/26/12-blowing off steam today
How can the weather be fixed? Can the genie be put back into the bottle? Not if we get to that tipping point, then there will be no turning back. I guess those who are left will need to dig caves—oh, I forgot, many of our leaders already have. I saw their fabulous cave designs on Modern Marvels. Shouldn’t we be warned? We have been but we are so used to being handed BS that we don’t know who to believe, but we should believe the bible, at least, even thought no news anchor would dare mention it on the news.
What people
need to understand is that Revelation, although riddled with symbols, is not a
mere saintly prediction that one can dismiss as fanatical. Revelation is a
dictation from humankind’s future by people who have lived through it. Jesus
and his Angels told John what to write. One thing they warned us about was that
1/3 of the earth would burn. One third is a symbol meant to mean a lot. This
obviously comes from the over heating of the globe and change in weather
patterns. Deny it if you dare. I don’t think too many people living in
I ask who will stop this forward
march into disaster? A few leaders try to push fixes for global warming, but
their hands are tied by other politicians who are blind or refuse to be concerned.
The blind are failing
What can we
do? Those of us who love God already care for each other and accept that we are
all in this together, and together we can unite in prayer and move our leaders
to act. We seem to have a handle on preventing nuclear war and terrorism, so
global warming should be given priority. This fact seems to be hitting home
right now.
