A Prayer for Forgiveness

This is a prayer for forgiveness
A prayer to bring our hearts from bitterness to the sweetness of Your Love
That we remember the words of Jesus when confronted by ignorance and unfairness, for
‘Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do’.

Help us to forgive, to return to the path You set out for us,
One by winding, ever-flowing streams of life,
Streams of fresh and glowing water, that trickle with joy and intelligence,
Streams that flow with the purist reality of Your love.

For Your trickling stream never gets muddied in dirty gullies,
It looks neither back nor forward, just flowing eternally onwards
With the force of grace, judging not those around it
Only wishing their return to it's source.

So Father, please help us, through mighty angels,
To achieve this most transcendent act- to truly forgive our wrongdoers,
To show our trust in divine consolations,
Your rewards for the true, heartfelt faith.

Amen

The Spiritual Light


How to describe the Spiritual Light, the light I sense, that is seen by souls departing this world? I speak of the warm light of higher realities, of realer dimensions than the one we see now.

It is something like the warm light of the Pacific or the Mediterranean, seen under the shade of palm trees, but of a different type and degree. We feel it even more richly, it is relaxing and stimulating, all at once.

It is a light of intelligence, itself somehow conscious.

All human attempts at understanding, be they scientific or religious, are an attempt to move towards this light, are inspired by this light, are in some way of this light.

It is the one thing that can make us feel totally satiated, like no food, sex, or any sensual phenomena can. In it's embrace, our hunger is no more.

It breaches the curtain separating 'life' and 'death', allowing us to bypass our conventional responses, beckoning us to a Greater Reality, of that inhabited by Angels, with whom we can fly there.

Just a pond is far from being the whole ocean, so our present state of consciousness is from the whole of our life.
