RECONCILING WITH GOD
Not Until this Absolute "GOOD WORKS" has been faithfully accomplished with Integrity and Honesty,
as it surely has been put forth in the "DIVINE READINGS"...to proceed without... shall be in Absolute Vain.
In the "Readings", "vain" means "empty," "useless," or "without purpose," essentially referring to actions,
thoughts, or efforts that have no real value or meaning, often associated with excessive pride or a lack of true substance.
"Amen"

I have been an active member since 2010. Wow...I have now graduated from the
senior group to the super-senior group. Time moves on unabated. Reduced member fees are good.
I Thank God each day that I can find time to relax, get some exercise, and enjoy
the beauty of it all. Often we get to see deer and turkey, and geese are
always around during the season. Plus I enjoy my quiet time fishing the lake.
I believe simple things can be healthy ingredients to feel peace and a love of the here in the now,
and away from the "noise of the world".
I stand by my truth of it all, and I will drink to that.

The Elimination of the Ego-Self
~I have been reflecting recently, and these are thoughts that I have put together from my learnings to share with you.
The thought train started when I was thinking about one of the happenings that occurred when I was "enlightened"
and clawing my way back from the depths of the Hell I had been living.
~And I had to learn to give up all my old ideas of how things should or should not be. These are ideas that I
had been holding onto in a desperate attempt to maintain an identity. At one point in contemplation, "This is going to eliminate me!!" And then it became clear, "If I could eliminate ME, I surely could have it all!!" Of course, I didn't
understand that then, but today I do. It simply refers to "ego deflation in depth." The continued practice of the
spiritual principles has substantially accomplished this and eliminated the old clawing, clinging, scrapping, unloving,
and unloveable ME, and given me a loving I AM that is so much more than I could ever have imagined at the time.
From the beginning of life, we have all been programmed to, as we say, "Look out for Number One." That is still the watch phrase even today in the time of it all "To Thine Ownself Be True."
~I stand by the truth, that I must be diligently attuned to acquiring the teachings to incorporate the principles
and ideals into my way of life so that I can give away what I have learned, so that I may keep it. In this respect,
if I seek out the lessons needed to learn, I may learn them best by sharing them as time progresses.
This is the basis of the truism that "When the student is ready, the teacher appears, when the teacher is ready, the student appears." All are learners and all are teachers.

"In a blink, a life is gone. One may feel equipped but never prepared for the things of life's heartaches."
Ponder this thought carefully!
