SPIRIT OF GOD

THE LORD'S PRAYER
(
Kahlil Gibran's)
HIDDEN FROM THE WORLD
  I HAVE WALKED ALONE  

   
SPIRIT OF GOD

By: The DEACON
  

In 1974, I re-met a man that I remembered as being violent and angry all the time. Not good for an old football player. On this new meeting, he was so at peace and with harmony that it radiated from him. Being curious, I asked him about the transformation. The following week he introduced me to the Science of Mind thinking through teaching the Ten Week Personal Growth Workshop that was the beginning of his new life. I wrote the following in thanks for what he taught me and for what I saw in him.
 
I see the Spirit of God!
It is in the physical form of a man.
Ah, but have I been blind, as those around me still seem to be.
His gentleness has been referred to as feminine.
His kindness has been rejected with doubts.
His absence of violence has been spoken of as weakness.
His faith in himself has been received as foolishness.
His talk of Life has been known as boredom and ignorance.
His LOVE has been misunderstood and laughed at.
Ah...a shame...the blindness..
such poor hosts to the Spirit of God flowing through a MAN.

THE LORD'S PRAYER
By: Kahlil Gibran

This following is from the book JESUS, THE SON OF MAN by Kahlil Gibran. Since repetitive saying of something can eventually loose a conscious meaning as it is said from memory, I started using this to make sure I was paying attention to what I was saying.
Our Father in earth and heaven, sacred is Thy name.
Thy will be done with us, even as in space.
Give us of Thy bread sufficient for the day.
In Thy compassion forgive us and enlarge us to forgive one another.
Guide us towards Thee and stretch down Thy hand to us in darkness.
For Thine is the kingdom, and in Thee is our power and fullfillment.

HIDDEN FROM THE WORLD
By: Unknown
  

This was on a poster I once had and I have always felt close to it. You know...the Woodstock Period. Love, Peace and Music...
 
HIDDEN FROM THE WORLD...WE WILL MAKE LOVE
ALONE TOGETHER...WE WILL HIDE NOTHING
LEAST OF ALL...OUR THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS
WE WILL OPEN UP AND...WE WILL KNOW EACH OTHER
FOR THAT IS THE RESULT...OF PERFECT LOVE
AND, AFTER WE HAVE EXPERIENCED...THIS HIGHER FORM OF LOVE
WE WILL GO OUT INTO THE WORLD...
TO LOVE THOSE WHO DO NOT ...LOVE US
AND, THEY WILL CATCH...THE SPIRIT

I HAVE WALKED ALONE
By: Leonard Nimoy (Spock)
 

This poem pretty much says it all about Life.

I have walked alone
     Seeking Answers

I have lived alone
     Chasing dreams

I have tried
     To prove my worth
To worthless judges

I have cried my pain
     In silent screams

I have been
     Sometimes served
A touch of kindness

I have wandered
     In golden fields
          Of grace

I have touched
     The Western Wall
Of the Holy Place

I have soared
Alone
     Above the cloud heads

I have walked
     The deep dark
     Tunnels of the earth
 

I have dined
     With mystics
     And with prophets

I have heard
     The pain of woman
     Giving birth

I have been
     Sought after
     As a teacher

I have been
     Refused
     The Laurel Wreath

I have heard
     The thunder blast
     Of sunrise

I have watched
     The Final touch
     Of death

I have played
     The rules
     Set by the masters

Though often I didn’t
       Understand the game

I have worn
     More masks than
     I remember

I have been
     A face without
     A name

And when
Like you
     I ask
          The final question

Who on earth
     Am I supposed to be?

I always
     Come full circle
          To the answer

          Me

                Only me
