110.1 SEEL WEEK OF PRAYER #10: God's MERCIFUL Love FOR ME

DISCERNMENT: really feels like actively seeking the deeper meanings and holistic understandings for everything combined in our interior AND exterior LIFE EXPERIENCE . . . INCLUDING the deeper interior "experiences" of understanding, insight, imagination, visualization, seeing, (( I SEE YOU )) hearing, feeling, knowing, guessing, accepting, perceiving and imagining . . . Like the full human experience. NOW I SUDDENLY flash back to the concept of the Unity Method Patent, (( which I cut and pasted into here in seconds )) it is defined by the “Perceptive View of God.” Yes, God’s Perspective, or God's Perceptions with the basic understanding that all is love; as energy and matter are always in flux with unity (( IN LOVE )) as a primary focus . . . All life benefits from increased cohesion, cooperation, and compatibility . . . In Love, As Love and For Love . . . Where the action of Loving, produces the noun of Love through the verb Love experienced!

And suddenly, I have a new insight into the experience of Evolution . . . Every moment I grow and learn more . . . It is simply part of my experience . . . Except that everybody has their own limited perception. Then tonight I recognized that my own perceptions have been enhanced by requesting “His Perception.” Yes, or I really demanded it, as a condition for me to return to Earth. Stepping beyond the material and physical experience with a lot of people to the simple realization and understanding that UNITY inevitably will result in better experience for all.  Better understanding leads to Better Immediate experiences . . . It’s really about recognizing that the fruit of the spirit is love. The Spirit of the Love brings the Fruit of Love!!! Love brings us a fuller experience. Love brings a fuller understanding. Love brings coherency and evolution. I can step beyond the physical limitations of a social structure that are completely irrelevant. Choosing to step into the deeper meaning of power founded in love to Bring greater personal intimacy and joy.

Yes, as above so it is below. 1:45 4/25/2025 and I'm pulled to write again, still . . . Like when I see the beauty of my granddaughter and children with pretty numbers I always snap a screenshot to write another Love note. It's always such a joy to share the love of the moment. Yes, it's a challenge to keep up with it all, but I'm always in Joy.

DAY 1: Read 2 Corinthians 12:5-10 So, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Can you recall times when you have felt such power, such indwelling of Christ in your life?

Yes, I have found clear comfort and blessings knowing that Christ protects me and carries me forward to do and achieve as only God could imagine. I've never boasted about my challenges and weakness, even avoided discussing and exploring these issues. I have discovered and understood more and more over time. When I read this bible verse and contemplate, I remember all the trauma and chaos I witnessed even when I was not in trouble. The insight was that I had come full circle again, where my trauma and experiences were all to the Glory of GOD, where this weakness becomes strong in His love and support.

DAY 2: Read Luke 18:9-14 Can you relate to the Pharisee? The tax collector? Who would you rather be? And again I relate more to the tax collector, the outcast, the spectator, looking or watching from the back of the room. And now as I wrote this feeling more connected and guided to join in the experiences first hand. Shifting to where I belong instead of always being the outsider who is not good enough to join in and “CHOOSING” to participate with all the others. As again last night with the LifeTeen group at church, I realize how I “could really” greet and chat with everyone there, as I’ve met and known most for a while already. Hiding is no longer necessary.

DAY 3: Read John 8:2-11 Speak to Jesus or the woman as in a colloquy. col•lo•quy | noun (plural colloquies)

1. formal a conversation: they broke off their colloquy at once | an evening of sophisticated colloquy. 
2. a gathering for discussion of theological questions: students attend colloquies and seminars in their chosen fields of study.

Being able to forget and release my trauma of youth, is certainly a challenge. I always feel like I still have something to learn from it all. But never seem to be clear about what that means or how to step into this more. I guess like everything else, I feel like I will step into whatever I need when I am ready for it. And again the clarity and focus that comes to me in prayer and serious contemplation is realizing how I am released from all sins with daily Mass. And since there is “no one to condemn” me, it’s not necessary for me to hide anymore. Just like I realize I’ve learned to “interrupt” everyone in conversations since I was never listened to and never respected enough or “allowed to” add to conversations with my primary family . . . Wow, sounds like some more serious details I am learning that I need to add to my Welcome Witnessing. 

DAY 4: Repetition of any day. DAY 5: Read Luke 15:1-7, with a colloquy. Do you know what it's like to be lost and then found? Have you acted as a good shepherd" to another person? I guess I’ve always felt lost, or like an outcast by my primary family, OH EXCEPT my Mom of course. Which is really a wonderful realization now, as my dad raised us in a Methodist Church, but clearly my Mom made sure I learned or experienced the (Catholic) Truth. She always made me feel really special, and considering how I’ve treated my peers, I recognize that I’ve always been the shepherd. I guess the first thing that comes to mind was sitting at the Gasparilla Art Festival watching my kids playing in the grass before the orchestra stage sipping a beer. And chuck called me. He was in NJ again since we graduated from engineering at USF. Yes, he was still single, living in his parents basement. While I had wife, kids, house and all. Then he asked me about moving back to Tampa and wanted me to copy pages from my Journal.

Course I told him that he belonged here, and there was nothing better. But I understood what he wanted. Yes, I thought it was odd. But all he wanted were the pages that ended with my pretty sketched out “Thank you Jesus" prayers at the end. I Guess he had seen hundreds of pages like that when we developed STARS together, as he would always want to read my latest insights. Course, I remember sending him a hundred pages and then he returned them all when he moved back to Tampa again… yes another good shepherd, as he married here, two kids and countless successes.  Now, I laugh again as I remember his big folder of copies I took to NC to give to Neal Donald Walsh after his first Conversations with God book… lol, shepherding thousands now, as I couldn't write as well as a professional journalist!

DAY 6: Read Ezekiel 36:25-28, with a colloquy ("A new heart I give you, and a new spirit I will put within you"). Have you felt what this new heart is for you? Do you see the remains of your "heart of stone"? What new spirit is stirring within you? I love this scenario referring me back to "my waters. . ." as I'm now getting into a new model. Yes, another engineer called me to help him out. So sure a new model is always cool. And I've dragged my feet with it, but realized how God wants me to get back into my habits and routines that I've created for my life and health. My life with my children was my best experience ever. So returning to the private practice I created seems kinda obvious and common sense. I worked when I wanted, but would get really serious at it and burn through as much so I could, so I could play with my kids more. Lol, course I remember Busch Gardens, the Lowry Park Zoo and Florida Aquarium passes as we had them all for different years. Then the annual trips to Asheville NC, which morphed into Bread & Breakfast retreats, or Disney World with my divorce. . . 

Yes, I snapped pictures of my breakfast this morning. I was singing when I chopped the little coconut cubes to put on top of the yummy berries and fruit. Yes, I’ve always loved coconut, since my mom’s coconut candy as a little child. But then found the glass dish full of chocolate cake in my fridge. Oh Yum, more little chocolate cubes as I was inspired. Then the nine seed mix, organic yogurt, and almond butter mix . . . wow, it was so beautiful to see it made before my eyes. . . and I could feel the love and grace of sharing in the beauty and divinity that only God could Create for me. . . 

Ok, I confess, I was more than inspired. I've been getting my Thank You Dear Lord Jesus Christ, I Love You Dear Lord Jesus Christ, Thank You Dear Lord Jesus Christ, I Love You Dear Lord Jesus Christ, transferred to Saint Mary and Saint Joseph, so now the direction and inspirations I get are ASKED FOR. PLEASE Love Lord Jesus Christ Saint Mary and Saint Joseph GUIDE ME, LEAD ME. . . SHOW ME!  And Mary Loves FOOD, just like my Mom Ely Maria. . . oh and Jesus and Joseph are definitely FOODIES like me!

DAY 7: Review your journal from the past few weeks. Savor and distill the graces. Yes, I noticed this morning a big pot of veggies and another pot of chopped fruit in my fridge. Wow, that is all I would eat when alone, eating real food really feels like one of those awesome habits I created in school. Now with Exodus 90, I have been making my bed, praying more regularly, and doing exercise. YES TODAY, I even added another move. . . 20 situps, 20 pushups, 20 squats, 20 arm flex, 20 inner curls, 20 out curls over the head. . . oh and after the pushups I did 20 lunges. . . I think that's what it's called. . . so I know the arm flexes need to shift into two or three more moves too. . . Uhg, more weights. OH AND I've brought the one pound weights on my bike a few times, it works easy, I just need to remember them . . . . Oh and I’m back on my Bike from my PhD too, no e-bikes, but my regular old Schwinn . . . LOVE, JOY, PEACE!!!! Thanks to YOU DEAR GOD!
