"In this unity of heaven and earth—the action of being incorporated—is the essence and origin of true agreement."
Sanford Baran: Do you ever hear the voice of spirit? I do.
Indeed, spirit does speak to us—a lot! It’s heard as there is sufficient attentiveness and substance to be aware of it, and intentionality is critical. The voice of spirit can be easily drowned out by mental chatter, stuff rattling around in consciousness, which can muffle and obscure our connection to this profound reality that speaks to us all the time.

Christina Pivarnik: It is always a joy to gather together in our true purpose, to bring forth radiance and love as a collective. Over the past few years, we’ve been participating in dialogues every other time we gather. During these times we’ve shared our hearts and the experiences of our daily lives to honor our deepest love for our Creator. There’s a fresh spirit of family that’s arisen among us—a new depth of love, laughter and lightness, welcoming all who gather to participate in this precious work we’ve come on earth to do. As a result, we’ve gotten to know one another better in our spiritual journeys together and the work we’re each doing to fulfill our spiritual mission. Such a gift!

Pamela Gray: It’s a wondrous time to be alive on earth, isn’t it? There’s so much appreciation and love for friends, true friends who share spiritual purpose. Those who administer their daily responsibilities with love, upliftment, and blessing are the ones who can be counted on, no matter the circumstances.
What a beautiful body of spiritual beings I see on the Zoom screen, along with those here who have met for a few days at the Krantz’s home. We’re connected to many others who are gathered in various spiritual groups as part of the divine mechanism at the Creator’s hand—all with this one purpose—to let love radiate.

Linda Bahan: Recently Bill and I watched one of our favorite movies, Lost Horizon. Perhaps you have seen it, maybe many years ago. To set the stage for our consideration, I am going to read a synopsis of the movie based on the original 1937 version directed by Frank Capra.

We come together today to present ourselves before the Most High in this holy setting, and to let clarification come in our life expression. As more light shines through us, there is more light in the world.
Recently we considered the opening words from the 24th Psalm: The earth is the LORD’s and the fullness thereof. This speaks of ownership. To bring it down to cases, I own an automobile—at least according to the state of Colorado; my name is on the title. I also am part owner of a house. My name, along with Joyce’s, is on the deed. I have a physical body that came with a mind and emotional realm. Most people say, “This is my life, I can do with it as I want.” On that basis, many people abuse their bodies and misuse their minds and hearts for selfish and even harmful purposes. But if we accept that the earth is the Lord’s, then we own nothing in this outer world, not even our own human bodies. We are lease holders. There is a landlord—a Land Lord—to whom we are responsible. So, we rightly care for what is given into our hands, and diligently stay in alignment with the One who is the true owner. We represent him in his world and act accordingly.

Larry Krantz: Welcome everyone to our Sunday morning gathering. In a collective such as this, we can accomplish much more spiritually than we can as separate individuals. There is an exponential leap in the radiance released by reason of our agreement, as long as those concerned are on tone. Of course, people agree about all kinds of things, even acts of destruction, but if it isn’t in the flow of the tone of life, then there is little spiritual potency; it’s kind of flat, just a re-hashing of the old human state. When there is agreement in the tone of life and active spiritual substance available, a current moves out to uplift the consciousness of humanity, to inspire an awakening to the truth. Today, we can spark a remembrance of our divine heritage and inherent glory.

Let us share a minute of silence to allow the collective waters to gather.
(After the silence)
In the world of human nature where there never seems to be enough time, it can be helpful to take a moment of stillness to remember that we have all the time in the world when we are centered in spirit.

Larry Krantz: It is a privilege to be part of this esteemed company, to consider what is right and true, today joined by Allan and Christine Jonas.
Joyce and I were in Denver this weekend enjoying the “big city,” with its fine restaurants and the bustle of people. Like the out-of-town tourists we are, we walked by Larimer Square and along the 16th Street mall and stared up at impressively tall buildings. Our hotel room was on the 37th floor and had a panoramic view of the Front Range; the Rockies were covered with snow and looked magnificent. While in Denver, we attended a concert at the old Paramount theater, to hear Justin Hayward—the lead singer and songwriter for The Moody Blues. I suppose it was a bit of a trip down memory lane. More than a few years have passed since these songs were recorded, but Justin Hayward sounded quite good and was backed by very talented musicians. I admired The Moody Blues because their songs weren’t trivial, but about their search for meaning, to which we can relate.

I would share an experience I had many years ago. When I was in ninth grade, a freshman in high school, I took the bus to and from school. I often sat with my friend Jill, who was quite attractive, a year older, and somewhat artsy—all of which intrigued me. We enjoyed each other’s company. One time, on the long ride home there was a fellow sitting in the seat in front of us who was a senior, and also the running back on the football team. He was a big muscular guy and, as I was about to find out, something of a bully with a mean streak. He turned around and grabbed Jill’s purse, searched through it, came up with a can of hairspray, and sprayed it in her face, a nasty thing to do.
I felt a bit protective and said, “Hey, man. That’s not cool.” His response was to haul off and punch me in the mouth hard enough to push my two front teeth back. They have been like that since, a memento of that day on the school bus.
Continue reading…"When we trust life, we stand on higher ground, and from there everything looks different. We may then see clearly with our eyes and hear with our ears and feel with our hearts, for our vision is no longer clouded by the disturbances of human nature, which are as nothing in the sight of God."
And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. (Revelation 8:1-2)
These words convey a vision from the top of the mountain, the place of union between the outer person and the divine being within. It is a most sacred place, a place of stillness without the chaotic noise that fills human minds and hearts. When we observe the cosmos, we see no groaning or straining, and no complaining. It is simply God revealing himself and herself. It reveals a natural movement from the undimensional realm into levels of discernible existence, like a river flowing from the finest qualities of love down into the multitude of earthly forms. In the cosmos, there is a profound sense of peace and grandeur amid unfathomable activity. The stars move in the stillness of space, yet are always in motion. There is much to be done in the expression of God. We are not here merely to observe, but to create. Reality is everywhere, although it remains largely unknown to those who are disconnected from the awesome power and majesty of Source.
