Heart Session Meditations

For Sunday October 18th, 2026

noreply@blogger.com (Richard) — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 19:03:52 +0000

Hello to all. Being that we're in an era where humanity is facing itself, seesawing back and forth between material attachments and spiritual callings, let's try to tip the scales a bit.

The failures of embracing only material values is becoming quite clear, while the endless beauties of the spiritual is barely glimpsed.

Our ability to tip the scales lies within us. May we sit on the 18th being aware of our own choices, our own thoughts, and our own desires, as humanity completes its chosen path. We have far more power than we realize.

Bless you all,

Richard

Hello again to all. As happens from time to time, and just because we're humans having to deal with each other, societal and political turmoil rises up. So once again it may be appropriate to send love to our political leaders, of all stripes, in hopes of God's will being done.

This could become a recurring theme for a while.

Let's sit tonight to petition God to shine down its Light upon decision makers at every level. May the creative forces be heard. May that which is Divine lead us forward.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello beautiful people. We come into this world with no guarantee of a perfect life, or of perfect health. But we come, and willingly take our chances, because there's work to be done here. We have work to do on ourselves, and love to give to the world.

We learn lessons as we clean up old karma and free ourselves from obsessions. We then pass those lessons on to others through an act of love.

Let us sit this evening in gratitude for that process which enhances all who hear. Our trials and tribulations are often our greatest gifts. May we share their beauty lovingly.

Bless you all,

Richard

Hello again, beautiful people. The story of Sisyphus is of him having to push a boulder up a mountain over and over again, forever. Trying to get humanity to tune into its own heart can feel that way, a never ending struggle. However, in this physical world, the boulder would eventually wear down to a manageable size, as would the mountain slowly become a hill.

Such is how it goes with our little project of saving humanity from its lesser self, though it may not feel that way at times.

May we sit this evening eroding that which shrouds our hearts once more. May we find the image of God within, and share without.

With blessings for all,

Richard

Hello to all. We like to think that knowing truth gives us a degree of authority. But we have to release all sense of authority to know truth because a sense of authority is of the ego, which is illusory, and an accumulation of knowledge, which is only from the past. Each one blocks the openness required to know truth.

It is only through our own clear investigations, awareness and attention to what is going on inside of ourselves that we will find freedom from our foibles, and therefore truth.

May we sit this evening seeing ourselves clearly, with all tics and bibble-drips in place. May we see them and release them as a child releases its grip, by simply no longer holding. May we find the freedom we seek.

Bless you all,

Richard

A beautiful late summer hello to all. Question: what is that which is new?

We're told that thought is always old. It is based on memory, experience and knowledge, and from that springs thought. Knowledge, memory and experience are always in the past, and from the past no new thing can be. You cannot make something new; you can modify it, you can reshape it, but what you have modified or reshaped is not new. So, thought cannot bring about love.

So all love is of the moment. You love in the moment you're in.

May we sit this evening in love, in the everlasting moment, the eternal grace of our heritage, in love.

Blessings on all,

Richard

Hello, and a gracious good day to everyone. We've seen so often that people standing together can bring change to a society. And we know that all healing comes from attuning to the natural awareness of the divine all of us.

So the world's solution is simple, right? All that has to be done is for everyone to attune to an awareness of their divine source. And the more we can attune, the more others will see.

So let's sit this evening with an awareness of the beautiful Light within, as in 'made in God's image'. It can be as simple as that.

Reverently submitted,

Richard

Hello, and a seasonal change greeting to all. I'll be away from my computer for a few days so I'm sending this reminder of the goodness of humanity out early.

The passing of Dolly Parton has brought up a lot of references to all the good she did for the world, and who she was personally.

This brought to mind the cave rescue of a kid's soccer team and their coach in Thailand four years ago. Ten thousand people from seventeen different countries came together for three weeks, with the world watching, to save thirteen people they'd never met.

May sit Sunday evening taking heart in the natural beauty of people.

With Love for all,

Richard

From where I am, I offer a rainy hello to everyone. And, I wish the best for all of you. The Mpemba Effect is the tendency for a transition to oftentimes complete itself faster when it begins farther away from the end point, such as hot water freezing faster than cold water. It happens often enough to have been given a name.

At the moment we're watching our world grow more tumultuous as the results of greed, ego, and power become increasingly clear on a global scale.

So, may we sit this evening in favor of speeding up a much needed realignment of humanity with Divine Source.

Bless you all,

Richard

Hello lovely people. We all eventually leave this world behind, and everything in it. Oddly, that's the same situation which is recommended for meditation while we're living. To surrender everything we know and think about ourselves and the world, in order to discover what else exists, has been suggested since the ancients.

How difficult can it be? Let's find out.

May we sit this Sunday in complete surrender of ourselves. Don't worry, it's only for a little time. And if we do it right, maybe a little out-of-time. I'm told it can be life changing, in all the best ways.

With reverence for all,

Richard

Hello, and gracious greetings to all. The spiritual transformation of humanity is not a simple thing. There are those who cling desperately to their personal desires of lust and power, knowing little of anything else. Those who foresee a more spiritual, heart-centered version of humanity may feel a level of frustration over this.

The fact is that the majority of people learn slowly, often by way of difficulties. This is their chosen path according to their free will. An integral part of living more spiritually is to have reverence for the paths of others.

So, this evening, may we sit as observers. May our own personal frailties be merely whispers of wind which arise then pass on by, un-grasped at. May we find an inner peace which helps us to allow all others to have their chosen paths.

Richard

Hello to all again, and on time this time. Given the current state of affairs it might behoove us to petition God to send its Light down upon the world's leaders once more.

May Divine Will be done for all.

Hello, and welcome once again. As they say, it's easy to be holy while sitting on top of a mountain all alone. However, simply because we are where we are, it's clear that we came to do our work right here at ground level.

We answered our calling to be who we are in the place that we are. Though it may be unclear with our limited perspectives, we have all we need to bring more spirituality to the world. Even the most simple efforts are righteous, because it's our honesty and authenticity which matters. The results will depend upon the receptivity of others, as long as we are clear.

May we sit this evening knowing we can bring spiritual beauty to the world – by just being ourselves.

Bless you all,

Richard

Hello, gorgeous people. Politically there is only one problem – the unity of human kind. As we have seen, this cannot be achieved through politicians who thrive on division. So it's up to us, honestly. We have to be the ones who demonstrate the unity of humanity, and do it in our daily life.

This can be a challenge for some people, and with some people. But, the effort is always righteous and worthwhile.

This evening may we set our sights above ourselves as our hearts reach above our heads once more. It may seem out of reach. It may seem out of sight. It may seem unattainable. May we be lovingly surprised by what we can do.

With love for all,

Richard

And another sunny hello to all. We come to this world with two goals. One is to resolve past issues which were developed in former lifetimes, and carried along since. The other is to bring something from God for the betterment of humanity.

Awareness of what is to be resolved and what is to be enhanced is essential, because it can lead to a state of Grace.

Our gift to ourselves this evening is to sit in reflection. To see ourselves, and how we are living our lives, more clearly. May we see that which needs resolution and release. May we also see the gifts we were meant to bring forth for the upliftment of all.

With love for all,

Richard

Hello again, gracious people. We sit once more for the continued spiritual transformation of the Earth and humanity. I'm told we are far behind the rest of the universe in our spiritual awareness, which can easily be seen by just looking around at how we treat Mother Earth and each other.

So let's aspire this evening to treating ourselves, the Big Blue Marble, and all other humans with the grace and beauty which Divine Source imbues us with.

Hello again to the beautiful souls of this group. J. Krishnamurti tells us the word 'seeking' implies that we have lost something and are working to find it. Being that when we do find that something we'll be able to recognize it means – we've already known it.

So we're not so much seeking as recovering what has already been known to us.

Can we sit this evening and see into our spiritual beginnings? Can we uncover any degree of that which has been lost? May we sit this Sunday evening toward that beautiful effort.

With blessings for all,

Richard

Hello again to this gracious group. We come into this world with gifts from spirituality to give to humanity; music, art, dance, literature, humor, love of friends and family. All of these are of benefit to God through the upliftment of us.

We also bring personal issues to be worked through; anger, fear, mental illness, and all the typical 'deadly sins'. These are the difficult karma that we either resolve or burn off through experience in this life. This is also of benefit to God by means of our cleansing.

It may seem odd, but tonight may we celebrate these manyfold opportunities to cleanse and enhance ourselves, to uplift humanity, while paradoxically improving that which is already perfect.

Bless you all for all you do,

Richard

Hello wonderful people. Life is a physical manifestation of Divinity, of the Source. With our free will we are allowed to direct our lives up or down any path we desire. Speaking in rough generalities, our choices are between karma and grace.

The path of karma, driven by selfish desires, is cyclical. The path of grace, the desire to be outwardly loving, leads us on to our higher callings.

May we sit this evening for the ability to discern our individual paths, for the courage to choose wisely, and for the ability to release that which no longer serves us.

Bless you all,

Richard

Hello, and a gracious good day to all. When asked to give an example of unconditional love many people reply, “A mother for her child.” But that is a very conditional love, having grown the child within her body. Unconditional love is not dependent upon anything; not who you are; not what you've done, positive or otherwise; not where you came from or are going to; not dependent upon anything whatsoever. You are simply loved throughout your existence.

If we could tap into a tiny piece of that powerful, all-encompassing love it would change the world. In fact, to sit in openness may be the bravest thing we can do in a world of turmoil.

May we sit this evening being open to that love. May it flood our hearts. May our awareness of its power lead us onward.

With reverence for all,

Richard

Hello to all, and here's a story. One day an enormous elephant was walking through a clearing. It came upon a tiny little bird laying on its back. The bird's wings were spread out wide, with its feet gripping the ground fiercely. The little bird's breath came in gigantic heaves, gigantic for such a small creature that is, as it struggled mightily with its task.
“What are you doing?” Asked the elephant.
Between grasping breaths the little bird croaked out, “I'm holding back the darkness.”
The enormous elephant stared at the little bird for a moment, “You? You weigh what, two maybe three ounces at most?”
The little bird looked the enormous elephant straight in the eye and spoke clearly, “One does what one can.”

That's where we are folks. In this world of turmoil we do what we can. Let's give it another go tonight, shall we?

With your permission, may we sit for truth, honesty, and Divine will be done.

Reverently offered,

Richard

Because I'll be away from my computer for a few days I'll send this out tonight. (rather than being late)

Hello, and thank you for all the beauty you bring to this world. The phrase 'to forgive someone' is often seen as giving something valuable to someone who has hurt or harmed you in some way, and does not seem to deserve it.

There is a far better way to consider it.

Forgiveness is about releasing the pain and anger within ourselves which was triggered by their words or actions. It's not 'it's ok that you did that to me'. It was wrong and will always have been wrong.

You are forgiving yourself for carrying destructive pain and anger within you.
You are forgiving yourself for carrying a feeling of righteous power over those who wronged you.
You are forgiving yourself for playing a victim role when you are actually a beautiful child of God.

May we sit Sunday evening for the spiritual clarity which comes of forgiveness. May we see hurtful people as being lost. May we be loving of ourselves enough to love others in turn.

Revertently offered,

Richard
