LRC, Houston - the weekends-free church in Houston, Texas

When you look at your neighbor what do you see- who do you see? We’re long past the stage where we should see a light-skinned Irishman, a dark skinned Spaniard, a creamy-skinned Cajun, or a black-skinned Ugandan. What we need to be seeing is what the One who created that person sees- a beautiful workmanship being transformed into LIGHT!

This earth is badly in need of a collective awakening to the reality of our spiritual nature.

Richard Rohr recently said, “In the mirror there is not a discriminating mind or self-consciousness. If something comes, the mirror reflects it; if it moves on, the mirror lets it move on. The mirror is always empty of itself and therefore able to receive the other. The mirror has no preconditions for entry, no preconditions for acceptance. It receives and reflects back what is there—nothing more or nothing less. The mirror is the perfect lover and the perfect contemplative. It does not evaluate, judge or act. It takes the advice of the philosopher Wittgenstein: “Don’t think, just look.” If we are to see as God sees, we must first become mirrors. We must become no-thing so that we can receive some-thing.

Sounds too simple doesn’t it?

We are called to be the LIGHT of the world. Newton gets credit for a lot of things, but there’s one thing few are aware. Newton demonstrated that WHITE LIGHT actually consists of seven differentiated and distinct colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. There are a plethora of shades of each of course.

It’s only when these colors are combined do you see pure white light.

Only when we start seeing people as the spiritual beings that they are, that we are, will we begin to develop the collective consciousness that our planet and world are waiting for. The whole earth groans for the coming of those who SEE rightly. Who see GOOD and BEAUTY!
