I sit here in a most Heavenly state as I recall words spoken today by Sanford Baran, of the www.Archangelic.com  Body.  My learned friend, whom I believe I’ve have never actually met in person, mentioned during the Service that he offered today, “To serve the Whole - To give glory to the Whole.”  Sanford repeated these words a few times, as I recall.  When Sanford said this phrase the first time, I remember looking over at a friend who was tuning in with me and communicated unspoken agreement with some physical gesture.  I feel that it is my responsibility to shout out my loving agreement with Sanford’s spirit.  When does God speak through His children?  To answer that question, I would have to say that it’s when I feel as I did today sharing in this Service with Sanford.  Indeed, glory is given to the “Whole!”  But, hey, wait a second!  If one gives glory to the Whole, does that negate God?  No, not at all.  In fact, as I AM (WE ARE) made in His image, there is no other way that it can be, as Jehovah expresses the Truth of Love!

I was thinking about how much energy and passion we have given into the world of critique and conjecture.  Does that give glory to the Whole?  No way, Jose…  What can I do about all of the criticizing that I have done for soooo… many years?  I have the answer.  Are you ready?  Do the opposite.  I can now let my Love radiate without concern for results…  There really is no other way to give “glory to the Whole!”

What a beautiful opportunity and privilege I have (we each have) to shine our Lights of loving appreciation for each One.  No One can, or should, be excluded.

As The Angelic Evolution Continues, Don’t Judge Things So Easily…  We Need To Get To The Place Of Placing NO JUDGMENT AT ALL!  I sadly read the Sports News, in reference to the Karate Olympic event with Cuban hopeful, “Angel Matos.”  At first we see a picture of a young man kicking a referee in the head and also hear of him pushing a judge, and we rush to judge and criticize such an act of aggression.  However, then one reads further to learn of an accusation of dishonor through someone paying off someone to fix the fight.
 

I have been a martial artist for most of my almost 50-year life and I have rarely heard of such an outworking with any ones in the martial arts.  Respect and honor are, characteristically, the back bone and spirit of the martial arts.  But what does one do when the deepest laws of dignity and fairness are broken?  What if Mr. Matos’ claim is accurate?  What does one do when their lifelong dream is taken by those who don’t have any true values at all?  If Matos’ claim is accurate, and I was in the same position, I hope that I would have the same courage to make such a strong statement.  Again, I am not saying that I know Matos’ claim to be true.  But let’s not jump to conclusions.  Perhaps, instead, say a prayer for all of those affected by such a sad outworking.  Let each of us think really hard before we make choices in our lives that have such a profound effect on our worlds!  When I realize that I AM my brother’s keeper, that changes everything, doesn’t it?
 

“Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.  Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.  Give us this day our daily bread.  And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory; for ever and ever. Amen”
 

We forgive, but if we’re willing to stand strong for truth and dignity, sometimes we must pull out our sword and swing it.  It is much better to realize how each of us contributes to every outworking throughout the world.  What you and I read and hear about is not separate from that which we create on a moment to moment basis…

What is freedom?  Here’s what Webster has to say: “Freedom” 1 : the quality or state of being free: as a : the absence of necessity, coercion, or constraint in choice or action b : liberation from slavery or restraint or from the power of another : INDEPENDENCE c : the quality or state of being exempt or released usually from something onerous <freedom from care> d : EASE , FACILITY freedom> e : the quality of being frank, open, or outspoken freedom> f : improper familiarity g : boldness of conception or execution h : unrestricted use freedom of their home>.
Webster goes further than this, but these words listed here under numeral “1” really cover this explanation rather inclusively.  It might be fair to say that “freedom” is one of the most valuable things in the human experience.  As one looks a little deeper into the different aspects of “freedom” as it pertains to their life, there are two vision points from which to address it.  There is the physical aspect of “freedom,” as it pertains to our bodies and the ability to move physically at will.  However, there is another experiential aspect of “freedom” which calls to the way we perceive the spirit of all things – how we process all of life’s outworking.  Our relationship with circumstances dictates how  “free”  we actually are!  As I AM not moved by circumstance, I have the experience of “being free” or of “freedom.”  Take an honest look at your life.  Are you “free” or does the way that you process life’s outworking hold you captive?
 

It is said that the truth shall set you “free”!  So, inadvertently, as one knows and lives out the truth, one is free…  When I don’t focus my capacities on trying to change things, I AM free within myself.  It is only when one finds oneself drawn away from the present moment that actual “freedom” is lost.
 

It is also often said that many have died to protect our “freedom,” particularly in this cherished country called the United States of America.  There is a precious reality to those words.  Many brave men and women have given up their very lives to protect their Nation, preserving the sacred space that allows the fullest realization of what “freedom” actually means.  What do you and I do with such a wondrous gift?  Do we live and act from a “free” place?  One of the byproducts of “freedom” that Webster obviously thinks is pretty important, as the word is set in bold and underlined, is the word EASE.  When I AM “free,” the experience of “freedom” is known through ease.  The tone and atmosphere of “ease” becomes paramount.  Can One relax in an easy way and still stay much focused, deliberate and creatively generative?  I AM!  This is the experience of I AM!
 

How about serving God?  I would like to apply the word “freedom” and “ease” with respect to serving God.  But before we go there, let’s look at the word, ’servant.’  Did you ever work for someone (in their employ) whom you didn’t really like very much?  Perhaps you didn’t feel well treated…  Many people have had that type of experience.  However, in contrast to that depressive experience, did you ever have the experience of working for someone for whom you really cared, whom you respected and appreciated greatly?  Whom do you think you would be able to serve best?  Most would probably agree that you would do more, and what you did would be done in a spirit of friendship, for the one for whom you felt care, respect and appreciation…  Now, here’s the big question: Do you do what you do to serve God because you Love Him or because you fear Him?  Is not “ease” one of the most important factors when it comes to being a true servant of God?

While I was growing up, my grandfather, C. William Calabrese, used to say to me (every once and a while, just to underline it) that if a man is afforded one true friend during his lifetime that he is a very wealthy (rich) person.  In fact, this is one of the greatest riches that is possible in the human experience.  The words of my grandfather have proven to be so very true.  I suppose that it’s actually the experiences that are in contrast to experiencing true friendship that underline the invaluable nature of true friendship.  Many relationships, in my experience, have proven to be disappointing.  I would say that there are many, many factors involved in this whole area of “true friendship.”  An honest question that I must ask myself is, “Have I always been a person that held up his end, as far as friendship is concerned?”  No, I cannot say that I have always been a true friend.  Since that is probably often the case with most people – when taking an honest look, the words of my grandfather become even truer.
 

When we find ourselves with a true friend who loves us despite our imperfections, we have certainly been given a precious jewel.  We may not see how we deserve such a treasure.  Humanly speaking, we are probably never feeling truly worthy – because human nature is rarely worthy of anything good.  No, it’s our spirit that is perfect and it’s always in the forgiveness of the One that sees us as Being more than how we sometimes act.  From the Good Book, as it’s sometimes called, John: 15/13 states: “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”  This is the ultimate mark of friendship, at the deepest level possible.  A mother or father would more naturally give up their life for their children, but when someone who is not of blood relation stands in that place it is remarkable (to say the least).  Some of our Military men and woman are molded to the quest of honored sacrifice and giving.  I so deeply honor their selfless commitment in this way.  It gets a little trickier when all of the marbles aren’t on the line, however.  It’s the day to day living that takes the most courage to live well as a true friend to another.
 

Personally speaking, I was kind of molded by my life’s experiences to be most useful and effective ‘when the shit hits the fan.’  In my life, I’ve been in places and circumstances where people have pulled guns on me and actually tried to shoot me.  I didn’t experience very much fear in the process.  I actually felt much worse when I have had to hurt another man in a physical fight.  Such occurrences have not happened in over a decade and most of those types of things, even longer ago than that (over two decades).  I don’t like any form of violence. I AM grateful to be a Minister of God and a healer today.  I’m still learning what it means to be a true friend to another.  I hope that I am worthy enough someday for someone to say (and really mean it) that they consider me a true friend of theirs.  Thanks, Poppy, for sharing with me your infinite wisdom and the Love from your beautiful heart.  (Poppy is the name that I used to call my Grandfather.)
 

I teach something that I developed called the Healing Breath, but I also realize (particularly, in the human experience) that it’s also very much about the “Healing Heart.”  Let all of our hearts be healed, using all of the Divine tools that the good Lord has afforded us.  Let our friendships with each other be true!

Human nature holds a very distinct orientation in forms, as it’s constantly moved by results of all sorts.  When I was an adolescent, I used to enjoy roller coaster rides.  It was exhilarating to experience the extremes, physically speaking.  At some point, however, I found that the exhilarating feeling changed into something that was actually uncomfortable.  I no longer needed to be tossed and turned about like a milkshake to feel good.  It’s interesting, however, to realize that the rush that comes from a roller coaster ride mostly comes when one is high up (from the standpoint of height) and is then dropped down at an accelerated rate of speed.  I wonder if we create the same basic experience in our lives through other channels that are not physically oriented…?  From a mental or emotional standpoint, having an orientation in the world of forms could be seen in much the same way as riding a roller coaster.
 

One of the byproducts of living from an orientation in the world of forms is a tendency to wait to be moved by something and only then, to offer expression in the form of reaction.  When one’s response is governed by results of any nature, one tends to just keep recreating in a horizontal fashion.  Nothing ever really rises up because one is always creating in accordance with what is occurring in form.  And when we do rise up, human nature seems to have to fall down from that height – just to appreciate where it was?  Has the roller coaster reappeared?
 

Some people have the wisdom to realize how human nature really is and they choose to step back from it and take a real look at their life.  Did you ever hear someone say that one should live each day as if it were their last?  Most people probably have heard that phrase or something very similar to it.  A hypothesis could be derived from this that we can do more (or do better) than to wait for a form to signal what our expression should be or could be.  When one references what one might say to loved ones if it were the last thing that one could say to them, it is usually about the intrinsic value of conveying love.  The bottom line for most is an interest in communicating love, appreciation and affection.  When we find ourselves always waiting to say or to do something, this pattern usually springs forth from a consciousness that is constantly measuring and evaluating everything for its worthiness.  It’s like waiting for someone to do something that we deem is really special before we tell them how much we love and appreciate them.  We hold more than our words back from others.  We tend to hold everything back to some degree – always waiting for… what?
 

It is from a realization that we hold precious gifts inside us and generally just “wait” to offer them that hosts this theme of what one would do on their last day or what words one would convey with their last breath…  Imagine the richness of your life and my life if our days were lived as if they were, in fact, our last!

The words of this particular blog post are directed to those who stand at various points of “Leadership.”  Within this grouping of “Leadership,” there is what I will refer to as the “Leaders of Leaders.”  As far as the world of man is concerned, true Leadership must be rendered Spiritually.  That is the truest form of Leadership.
 

Here in America, though there have been steps taken by those with a “Secular Progressive” consciousness to further separate “Church and State” through steps like removing the admission, “In God we trust,” we will never NOT be a Nation under God!  Man seems to continually struggle with his relationship to Invisible Deity.  Many, and perhaps even most, theologians and physicians of the mind and heart (psychiatrists and psychologists) would agree that when we consciously relinquish our relationship with the Supreme One, it has a negative effect on all of our other relationships.  There is good reason for this, as true humility starts within oneself through one’s conscious admission and subsequent relationship with the Supreme One.  As the conduit of perfection (in the form of Love) is allowed into all of our connections and relationships, they can be experienced as complete and successful.  The Supreme One has more than one name, insofar as human beings and the variety of religions are concerned.  God, Ala, Yhwh and from Hinduism several God-Being-related names come to mind (Paramatma, Parampita, etc.).  Insofar as the myriad different religions and cultures are concerned, this only scratches the surface.

Just to take a snap shop view of this immense diversification reveals man’s great thirst to know his Divine roots in Supreme Deity.  One of the ironic omissions is that of an interwoven thread of unconditional love, acceptance and encompassment.  However, though interwoven and sometimes mentioned, it is rarely proven out, insofar at attitude and action is concerned.  Endless energies have been generated and put forth to build something from beliefs to try and take one higher up experientially into an place of Oneness with the Creator.  The bottom line more than suggests that we don’t feel very complete where we are, and from an experience of not being complete and/or fulfilled, we try to create the impossible.  It is only as I experience myself as “complete” that I can know our Creator and His perfection.  This experience fosters true wisdom and seems rather rare, insofar as earthy experiences are concerned.  From this position, beauty is seen through all of Life’s intrinsic expression.

How often do you find yourself looking at different aspects of life–it could be people, things, places, situations–and saying to yourself, or aloud, “This is beautiful”?  When we acknowledge beauty, we are acknowledging a mere splinter of Life’s perfection.  I would have to say, at least in my experience, that there is an element of beauty in almost everything.  Those things or situations in life that don’t seem to be shining very much beauty, at any given moment, are still very much a part of that which is beautiful.  Whether we realize it or not, everything in Life supports everything else.  It’s all connected and so are we.  Though there seems to be innumerable divisions, everything and everyone are all completely connected.  Separations and divisions don’t need to be looked at as negative.  The only parts of me that sometimes, however rarely, dominate my overall experience negatively call to the parts of my capacities that are still very much in a state of evolution.
 

I was thinking of the importance of Leadership and what it provides in support of the “Creative process.”  Two friends of mine  are in important points of Spiritual world Leadership; their names are David Karchere and Alan Hammond.  I know one of them a little better, in the earthly sense, because of knowing him through forms (briefly living together for a very short time and telephone conversations over the years).  This one is David Karchere.   I’m not sure if I have ever met Alan Hammond in person or not.  However, I believe it’s of little consequence if I did meet Alan, physically speaking, or not.  Let’s just say that I know each of these men a little differently.  However, the deep interest and impetus to serve God through Spiritual expression has proven a knowing of each other’s spirits at a very profound level.  It is easy to notice the perfection of each of their beautiful Spirits.  Could I also, using my human intellect, criticize or disagree with anything that I have heard either one of them saying?  To answer that honestly, I would have to say that I can’t think of very much that I’ve heard with which I disagree.  However, the human mind, in the current human condition is an artist at conjecture.  Most forms of conjecture serve no purpose. There is something that I think that I/we can sometimes forget because of an inner interest that can show up as a “need” of moving toward something that we refer to as the “Restoration.”  If I AM complete and I’m actually experiencing completeness, I don’t find myself trying to evaluate and measure.  However, if I AM to be honest here, I have done plenty of evaluating and measuring with respect to everything and everyone in my life, including myself.

When I AM in touch with my own personal perfection (my Spirit), I see that perfection in others.  But, hey, most people have to use toilet paper occasionally.  Most use some form of toilet paper literally speaking, but I believe even more people have to use toilet paper metaphorically speaking.  We learn, grow, make a few messes and have the opportunity of cleaning them up.  As far as the human nature consciousness is concerned, it likes to get in there and try to measure who might have, or is, using more toilet paper.  Hey folks, on the last day, we discover that collectively we just keeping wiping the same orifice.  There is actually one orifice and we all share it.  I do enjoy using colorful metaphors because it’s a way of making things a little bit lighter – not trying to over analyze things and take them so damned seriously.  If One wishes to really do the “serious” work, it is done through the lightness, joy and sometimes laughter of Love!  While we do, each, have some serious choices to make, the best choices are made through ease, care, joy and Love!  Everything else requires too much toilet paper.  And, by the way, I’m sure that I use as much toilet paper as everyone else – perhaps more.  But it’s OK; I humbly admit that is the case.  Oops, I just caught myself spewing a sentance which could be classified as an orchestration of measurement.  My goodness, measurement is done so often.   It’s become our standard of communication.  How does that fit into the words that were supposedly spoken by a very special One– “Love one another as I have loved you”?
 

Who knows, maybe all of the true Spiritual Leaders of this World will come together in one place and learn to bathe each other in innocence…!  In the mean time, you little folks like me – we’ll practice that together.  Let’s just simply Love one another.  Thank you for your anticipated participation…  Until all of the dividing walls are removed, we will not know the truth of anything.  There is only one truth–it’s the truth of Love.  Who needs to still be right?  Righteousness is only known through innocence, humility and Love…  Here, in me, is a person who has recovered from being addicted to many things in life–ex-porn star, ex-gigolo and a few other prize things–and who’s talking about innocence…  Who else is ready to let it be, and let all be seen as it truly is?  Can you dig it?
 

We are each NOT the paths in Life that we have walked down and learned from.  I AM present to let all things be Blessed and to shout the words from the mountain tops that “I AM” present after having walked the paths of my choosing.  Let an acknowledgment of beauty be born, as we each see the beauty of truth through vision that hosts and expresses loving appreciation.  I come in the name of the Lord and thusly I AM Blessed and offer Blessing.  All praises be to Him, our Lord and King!
