Hi again,
Thanks Al for your comments which I value. I also subscribe to a personal God who is an entity with a specific dwelling who does communicate with us. When Richard speaks of Universal Living he refers to the eventual unity and oneness with God to which we aspire as this is the ultimate of the harmony of which he speaks.
Much of what Richard says is directed at keeping an awareness of Natural Love while all the while praying for and doing whatever we need to do to acquire Divine Love. He says often that we must always be aware that the fact is that we are living in a Natural Love environment as we progress on our path. I am aware of many who tend to see Natural Love as an inferior element while the truth is that we need this on our way along as it is the essential framework of life on earth. He never vaunts it above Divine Love.
Hi Dean nice to hear from you. In essence I feel you are correct in your distillation.
I am so aware that none of us have all the answers or a really full understanding of most of what we are taught so we are all learning. I find it wonderful and intriguing the way in which all of us who are mediums are necessarily influenced greatly by our own personalities and beliefs. I am fascinated at the ways in which our Celestial Friends work with this variability to convey messages which have apparent differences but also contain deep threads of coherence which lead us further towards the truth.
I am not in a deep trance when I write with the Celestials. I am very connected with them and feel their presence and love strongly and am also aware of my surroundings but to a reduced degree. If interrupted in a message I can return to it later to continue from the time of interruption. I was invited some years ago by Frnacis (of Assisi) to undergo an apprenticeship in mediumship and I very willingly agreed to this. The training continues and probably will never end.
Richard said at one time that it is vital to read any channelled message with discernment and care. I am deeply aware that i have much to learn and that it is more likely than not that the messages that I write contain elements of truth but also display the present status of my progress.
It is indeed a wonderful life we are living and wonderful help that we all have.
Terry, we are all here looking forward to our gathering with anticipation and excitement. I am excited at the constantly expanding world that we are creating for ourselves with the attendant opportunity to share and learn and grow.
The book I published is titled The Richard Messages and is available on Lulu.com
I think we have a lot of fun ahead of us!
With much love
James
