My parents, no matter how annoying they only want to help me.
The air that I breath. Each breath I take. For every moment I am here.
Light and darkness— the blessings of both. Light enables definition & wonder. Darkness enables rest & contemplation
My guardian Angel. I often forget that this sweet being is always with me and I am deeply grateful not to be alone.
La luz del sol a las 5 de la tarde
Routine. That may sound boring, but routine gives us a framework in which we know where to put our feet. It is calming and comforting, though often maligned.
I agree with you, Aine.
The spark of Divinity, Love, and Wisdom within me. I often forget this Divine Spark and so, forgetting my true nature, cease to have love and compassion and become numb to the world. Remembering the spark of divinity brings back my powerful, wise, nurturing qualities.
Thank you for this, dear Hot Sauce. It consoles me and brings light in a dark moment. May the awareness of your true Divine Spark always stay with you and light your way.
The present moment is always here and I forget at times the sacredness of it as I drift to the past or ponder the future. I return myself to the sacred Now and am grateful for it…for it is all that truly exists!
I am grateful for my brain. That my brain is remembering names, information, faces and places. What an incredible miracle. Lord thank you for that.
NPR Radio which I listen to daily– especially Fresh Air and Terry Gross. It may seem silly to be grateful for a radio station, but in these dark times, I love listening and learning from the wide array of daily guests that Terry interviews
The changing sky, I can watch it even when I am indoors, and it reminds me that there is so much more than whatever I am focused on, but sometimes I forget for a long while to even have a glimpse at it.
Now.
That’s easy: the God within me.
The fire within me and also around me. the trees which have grown so much to lit the fire, so sitting around and collectively holding the awareness of collective consciousness – all around the world. The wheel, which has been created out of a glimpse of a moment: insights, in the understanding of “pure science”. And to built on the wheels, circles as concepts of awareness, our mind can take in the understanding of the universe. What a great idea. THANKS to all my “teachers” who have t...
The fire within me and also around me. the trees which have grown so much to lit the fire, so sitting around and collectively holding the awareness of collective consciousness – all around the world. The wheel, which has been created out of a glimpse of a moment: insights, in the understanding of “pure science”. And to built on the wheels, circles as concepts of awareness, our mind can take in the understanding of the universe. What a great idea. THANKS to all my “teachers” who have taught me that understanding and offered a wider perspective of seeing mySELF in the universe.
It is a privilege and commitment. Sometimes even my pledges are based on this understanding.
Time. I always forget that even though time is always around, it does not wait for anyone. By procrastinating, I miss out on a lot of things and therefore do not appreciate or be as grateful for things that are the most important in life.
My senses, whichever of them are in working order, that this body may feel the ground under my feet and breathe and feel the air around me. I am grateful mine work and are available to me at all times.
The sun above me.
Space. Stillness. Rhythm.
The crazy variety of people who I meet every day.
The ground beneath me, the air around me – what is one other thing that is always here that I may have forgotten to be grateful for?
Ether. The orthodox scientists call it "dark energy" and calculate that it is this -"not visible to the material eyes"- therefore "dark energy" making up 93% of the Universe. It is the "bread" in the Christian prayer ..."give us this day our daily bread" ...The Hindus call this energy/force 'prana', while others give it different names....we Essene Christian...

Ether. The orthodox scientists call it “dark energy” and calculate that it is this -“not visible to the material eyes”- therefore “dark energy” making up 93% of the Universe. It is the “bread” in the Christian prayer …”give us this day our daily bread” …The Hindus call this energy/force ‘prana’, while others give it different names….we Essene Christians call this electro-magnetic forces, “etheric vitality” and use it to create protective ‘light’ shields around our bodies , and many many more application ……As it is said in the NT by Joshua Emmanuel…”When thine eye is single thy body is full of light.” Archangel Raphael is the primary costodian of this energy but Urial is the over all “balancer” always.
Let us next mention ‘Raphael’-Ra-fa-EI, in ancient Egyptian Ra stands for the sun, and fa, for vibration: Sun-vibration-God. Raphael’s vibrations express a violet colour, in all its shades. This colour stems from the mixture of red (Michael) and blue (Gabriel), which tallies with the role of Raphael as fellow-worker with the other two. The planet in its entirety is within Raphael’s domain, who controls the electro-magnetic forces-etheric vitality, as we call it. The Hindus call this force ‘prana’, while others give it different names.
Ed, I am unfamiliar with Essene Christians. Can you steer me in a direction for information?
Hi Deb
I trust this finds you and yours well.
I just want to add another reply to to-days question since it is very relative to all Christianity………. then reply to your request
The cross, as a symbol, was used long before 2000 years ago. IOW before current Christianity converted it into a torcher symbol / of Crucifixion.

The cross, as a symbol, was used long before 2000 years ago. IOW before current Christianity converted it into a torcher symbol / of Crucifixion.
Its origin, as an equal length and balanced symbol, and only the Orthodox church still uses, represented the balancing of the four primary elements: Earth, Fire, Water and Ether. Most consider this symbol to be a “4-pointed cross” but, in fact, the center is the 5th point. That point represents the source of the outer four elements. IOW Absolute Being-ness
Now to your request.
This is a web site which contains a great amount of information which will surely answer general questions. It will take a while to get to know all the links within it. All info there is free so no worries there. And hopefully you will find the free discussion podcasts done by Daniel Joseph made too. You can download those and listen while travelling etc.
Just do a web search for “Researcher of Truth, Daskalos”
Also should you wish to look further into the subject of the Essenes and look into the practices, exercises etc. There are also reasonably prices downloadable books there too.
Search “Stoa Series, Daskalos”
And finally there is a documentary in the finally stages of completion, produced by an award winning European film directory who is also a Researcher of Truth. It should be out next year and will be very very interesting.
Thank you, Ed. I appreciate the info! Cheers! And blessings!
