AT The Edge…

The year 2018 is passing by so quickly.  The second hand of time swiftly diminishing into minutes. And minutes’ disappearing act as hours, days, and weeks, finally vanishing to become months, until here we are, already at the end of April: and somehow it seems as if it was only yesterday that we had said ‘hello January’.

Yes, time is swiftly passing by, but there is no need for us to be alarmed or worried. Eternity supersedes time and space, with endless, timeless days and nights.

Do you continue to check your watch and checking the clocks? And are you finding that there is less and less time to accomplish the goals you set and that you are barely making it in time? Just take a breath right here and know it is ok.

Not enoughness is a creation of an illusion theory that says that time is running out and that we are running out of time. But the truth is, you are an infinite being, of breath that cannot die. Your personality may be altered, changed or exchanged. The body form of which so many mistakes as themselves, choose to let us go when we least expect it to. But even though aspects of your experience may alter with time, or change or even to cease to exist as matter, know this truth, life endures forever.

And so as we approach the ending of each day, or week or month let us look beyond this single point.  Yes, your journey so far took you to this edge, but there are many other peaks ahead. We have been told do not look to the right or to the left on the path, and there is a reason for this. Whilst you are still heading towards the edge that is true, but once you get to the edge of that path, you should only tarry there briefly to appreciate and give thanks.

I call the end of each month an edge. An edge that shows me that I have come this far, but that I cannot stay, I must go on. I may tarry here to celebrate and give thanks but I must go on. And whilst many wishing the security and comfort zone of the middle ground have made this the place of their abode, I am not convinced, because I am of those that have come know that it is at the edge we find our wings.

Wings as new dreams and aspirations, an inner courage to go on come what may, reasons to hope again, strength to recalibrate, an inner impulse to forgive ourselves and others, and love to love.

PEACEMAKERS “DESPERATE MEASURES FOR DESPERATE TIMES ” – Peacemakers Prayer Prayer Chief response to recent Dallas Shootings

“It appears that we are living in desperate times,” says Peacemakers Prayer Patrols Chief Reverend Palmer this morning, in response to the recent civilian and Police shootings in Minnesota, Baten Rouge and Dallas. She continues, “It seems that the world is gone mad, quite mad. When persons aren’t planning to kill themselves, they are out there planning to take the life of another.

This insurgence of an insatiable desire to kill must not become the expected reality for our world.

We are being fed bad news of these atrocities day in and day out. There is also a surge to watch, listen to or else to participate in the most despicable killing acts, through the games being built and manufactured or through the films and programmes being made and produced. All in the name of industry, greed, in an  unconsciousness of psychological disorder.

But in all of these bizarre random and sometimes coordinated acts of violence, we must realise that these aren’t really new to the planet.

These barbaric acts of violence may appear new and unsettling for our times, but acts of this sort has perpetuated the earth ever since mankind yeilded to the temptation of fear, to himself in separation, and away from the perfect alignment of the All Good, the glorious source of Life itself.

And although throughout the annals of history we have been shown redemptive processes, even the ultimate act of sacrifice and service to restore us to an original statehood of love and wholeness; mankind still crumble to the temptation to yield to the wretched insane idea of the basest of selfhood mentality, which is so totally off key, seeking to die and to kill, instead of yielding to the call to live, full, vibrant, magnificent lives.

Desperate measures mean not yielding to the fear of the hurt we think we feel about ourselves. Also not yielding to the fear of being hurt by others. Nor yielding to the fear which tempts us to hurt others. Therefore in true order, we should begin to love value and respect life itself. Then and only then, may we be able to love, value and respect it within ourselves. This would cause us to value and respect life in others, and ultimately,  begin to hope that other people are also seeing life in the same way.

This is a rather simple but important measure, imperiative for the regeneration of our planet and ongoing good of mankind.

In fear, a person plans to take his own life. Feeling that his or her life is worth nothing in this world or at least, they feel that their life is of a far lesser value, especially in the cases of some suicide, and other cases where suicide bombers do it for rewards in the afterlife. In both instances, they were unconscious that the same LIFE that gave life in one existence is the same life everywhere.

At the root of all this destruction is fear. It is not about race, creed nor colour. It is about fear. It is this same fear and total disregard to life which prompts a Police officer to kill an unarmed man, and visa versa, an armed civillian killing an armed Officer. Fear takes on many disguises.  

Fear has built and instituted religion so far back that unless man wakes up now, we will keep destroying ourselves, each other and the planet. A person might even say I am all alone, I feel so lonely, not realising or conscious that the life which breathes them is everywhere present. We are therefore never alone in life. And life is always good and magnificent.

Someone once told me that it would take a miracle to change the world, and I have pondered these words for years.

                   A miracle is a desperate measure.

A miracle to me means that something that is beyond the scope of the mere matter. And you know as I do that us humans, animals, in fact, everything in which the breath  of life has a domain, which is the entire stuff of existence, including things inanimate; yes, you and I know that we fear everything that we do not quite understand, including ourselves.  Have you never heard of the person who asks himself why am I like this, why can’t I stop this?….  And so it is that we have become afraid of ourselves. And this fear drives us to overeat, to get angry with ourselves, so much so that we seek ways to cheat and so to kill this self, in hope of escaping from the lesser we feel we are now, because of the false illusion self we think we should be, or have, or gain or become.

                          Love, Value and Appreciate life FIRST

But I encourage us all, including myself, that life is magnificent still, it will always be as it is. There really is no now in life, even this newness we speak about so mindfully  is simply like a drug to hide away, to cushion and protect ourselves or else to create a false sense of a better self.  No no no, we must see that it as we begin to Love, Value and Appreciate life FIRST, then life within our individual selfhood, that we could even begin to hope for change. All the praying will be in vain until this action is taken. Praying does not stop anything until the thing we pray for is stopped. However, our prayers can and do influence the good change we wish for. WE must all seek to become the good we wish to see in our society, in order for the miracle of a radically transformative environment on earth as in the Heaven.

Do you love, value and respect Life? In your own body? in others? When we speak of others, it is interesting that people often categorise this ‘others’. They speak as if the life itself within a close family member such as  child or parent, husband and is different in an in-law, a close friend, a neighbour, a workmate, the person we meet on the bus, the doctor, or the distant person of another tribe and country. And so you can begin to see that it is truly only as mankind is sent back to the drawing-board, ego-free, to begin again. To look and see Life in Its totality, fairness, opulence, magnificence, beauty, fullness, allness, and okness. Only then, will mankind catch a glimpse of what he can become, of who he truly is, and who you and I truly are.

Years ago one man tried to decree that this was the way to peace, love, and life. And as we know the story’s end, the people groups of the world back then, stoned, beat, and killed him. But truth cannot be stopped, the truth cannot die. The truth is an eternal concept that will spring up again and again,  even though it may be chopped down time after time.

And so, I resurge this truth again today, it is no new truth. This is the truth that Life itself which is outside of time.  It is my wholehearted wish that these few words, as desperate as they may seem in our seemingly desperate times, that they will make a difference and leave an impression on at least one soul, as so create a spark of hope for a new earth. Amen. Amen”

Next prayer patrol, this Saturday9th July, in the notorious  Miami Gardens known for its weekly drive-by shootings 

*New: Prayer Patrol Alert! Pray for Brussels

Peacemakers Global  Prayer Mission has today sent out a Prayer Alert inviting pray-ers every where to join in Prayer for the city of Brussels and the victims of the recent terror attacks there.

“Our hearts and prayers goes out towards the people of Brussels at this time.” says Reverend Palmer, Facilitator for Peacemakers Prayer Patrols. “May the strong wind of Peace usher in a collective calm amidst the devastation of terror and fear.  We issue forth love, comfort and healing to those who grieve and are hurting.   Praying that there will be an overwhelming solidarity of support from the rest of humanity around the World, as they seek to rebuild and get on with living.”

Brussels is Belgium’s capital and home to the headquarters of the European Union

In January Belgium was on Block A,  the first monthly list  of 18 Countries scheduled to be prayed as part of PPP Global Prayer Mission. The Peacemakers Prayer Patrols were commissioned to invite pray-ers from every nation to join with them to pray for each of the 206 countries during 2016.  They would do this in Blocks of 18 countries per month over the 12 month period.

“There were several Signups but there should have been much much more.” says the Rev.  “I suppose if people really took the call seriously they would have been more alert to pray, to reach out, to watch.  Prayer is a powerful force for good.  When I was told about this act of injustice on Brussels this morning, the first though that crossed my mind was that this is an awful thing to happen, but how much more awful it might have been had we not prayed. We must not give in.  We must not give up. We must continue to pray.  We must be proactive in our prayers.  We cannot wait for some tragedy happen support our neighbors in prayer.  We must not wait for a specific event such as a Prayer Conference or a specific Day of Prayer. It must be a part of our awareness of our oneness in the Divine and each other. When will we see that separation is literally killing us.  Whilst governments must do what they must to secure their borders and to create safe areas to live, work, and play and to travel without fear.  We must pray for those who deliberately seek to steal, kill and destroy these freedoms.  Pray LOVE, HOPE, PEACE against which no hatred nor weapons can stand.”

What do we learn from these sinful deeds, done to innocent bystanders taken by unawares? It is this, the the people who planned and executed these acts, did not love nor have regards for Life.  Not their own, not the ones they cut down. And really tragically, not even God’s. There is only one Life not two nor three.  Not black nor white. The life of God is one life.  Life doth not seek to devour itself.  It is one life, in all.

No one group or person has the monopoly on life.

Although it may seem difficult to do,  the people of Brussels and the rest of the world must not give in to terror.  We must seek to rise above the fear and hold our vibrations high.  We must rally energies to unify on a common ground that everyone has the RIGHT TO LIVE.  The Love for Life must become greater than money and possession, status etc. Most people grew up never valuing life over money and status.  In fact most go through a whole 24 hr without ever becoming aware of the breath of life.  Is it little wonder that Ego plagues the tortured soul that does not know it’s true worth, and therefore seek not only to destroy others, which blames and hates, and also plans to destroys  itself.

In this Prayer alert for Brussels, Lets us pray then that love would seed every human heart, growing hope within each soul, until peace bud forth upon the earth everywhere .

The next set of 18 Countries (Block D) will be announced in April.
