Within your sadness is your salvation.

Note: It is usually at your lowest emotional point or your deepest sadness that breakthroughs in consciousness, enlightenment, redemption or salvation occurs. These words came to me while thinking about someone dealing with a deep sadness of a loss of a loved one. I wrote this on Good Friday and decided that Easter Sunday was an appropriate day to publish it.

Have a very pleasant and joyous Easter weekend this year. Best wishes to all.
Kindest & warmest regards,Translation: Happy Easter Dear Friends
Now, for a Good Friday story. It was in the year, 1974 and I was in my second year at a small town, small liberal arts college in Western IL. I was the poor kid on a scholarship and decided to stay at school over the Easter holiday for economic reasons. My friend Mark invited me to go home to Iowa with him over the weekend. Mark did not like buses and always hitchhiked around. I had a very nasty flu bug and really just wanted to stay in bed but Mark said, his Mom would see to me and I could rest at his families home. So, I agreed and we set out with thumbs out and the first car to stop was a Satan worshiper practicing Witch from Chicago who was going home to visit his family in Iowa. He had a devil medallion hanging from his rear view mirror and talked of his devilish beliefs. He pretty much, hated his job, hated his life but wanted money and power. We stopped at a gas station. He wanted shacks and asked if we wanted anything. We both declined and after he left looked at each other and I said to Mark, we have to get away from this man. We just walked away and went down an on ramp to catch another ride. A VW mini bus pulled over with a long haired hippie looking young man and he told us he had driven from California and basically told us he travelled by faith and he talked about Jesus the entire time we were with him. It was a cold windy day with dark black clouds but during the time with him, the sky opened up and the sun came out. He said it was cold in the Midwest and he did not have enough warm clothes. I had a old army surplus green parka that I was wearing and I loved it but decided to literally give him the shirt off my back. I still had a heavy cotton hooded sweatshirt on and was burning with fever anyhow so I suppose it was good to cool down anyhow. When he dropped us off I looked at Mark and said, what do you think the chances are of us meeting two such opposite people. I thought after it was showing me two different future paths in life and the choice was my own. Our last ride was a family man. Just a nice man passing thru Marks small town and offered to take us there. He was not so talkative as the first two. After this weekend, Marks parents were concerned for us and gave us two bus tickets home. We left on Monday morning on a bus but when we were almost home, Mark decided he had enough of busses and we got off at one of the bus stops. There we meet a religious family in the parking lot. Man, wife a a few small children. They thought we should not be hitchhiking and were genuinely concerned for our well being. The way he talked, he might have been a preacher. He offered to give us money for food and we declined. We said that we were not so far from home. These folks were dressed in their Sunday best and in my eyes just calm, kind, salt of the Earth people. So, we started the trip with a Real Witch, Satan worshipper and ended with a very nice and kind Christian family. Again, I will repeat, what are the chances of that?

Work so that light may triumph throughout the world, so that all people become increasingly aware of the bond that unites them as brothers and sisters, so that the kingdom of God may come on Earth. Everything you do to advance this idea is transformed into gold – into health, beauty, light and strength.
I chose my life
We choose in community
Until our time ends

寿 (ju, or kotobuki).
Soek vertroosting in die Goddelike Lig van die Hemel, maar vergeet om nie die balanserende energieë van die Aarde aan te raak nie. Want jou liggaam is van die Aarde ryk, alhoewel jou Gees in 'n ander ryk woon. Soek altyd 'n balans van jou wêreld en die ryk van Goddelike inspirasie. Soek ander om jou visie van 'n beter môre te deel.
Cennetin İlahi Işığında teselli arayın, ancak Dünya'nın dengeleyici enerjilerine dokunmayı da unutmayın. Çünkü Ruhunuz başka bir âlemde ikamet etse de bedeniniz Dünya âlemine aittir. Her zaman kendi dünyanız ile İlahi ilham âlemi arasında bir denge arayın. Daha parlak bir yarın vizyonunuzu paylaşacak başkalarını arayın.

स्वर्ग की दिव्य रोशनी में आराम की तलाश करें, फिर भी पृथ्वी की संतुलनकारी ऊर्जा को छूना न भूलें। क्योंकि आपका शरीर पृथ्वी लोक का है, भले ही आपकी आत्मा दूसरे लोक में रहती है। हमेशा अपनी दुनिया और ईश्वरीय प्रेरणा के दायरे में संतुलन की तलाश करें। उज्जवल कल के अपने दृष्टिकोण को दूसरों से साझा करने का प्रयास करें।
स्वर्गको दिव्य ज्योतिमा सान्त्वना खोज्नुहोस्, तर पृथ्वीको सन्तुलन ऊर्जाहरूलाई छुन नबिर्सनुहोस्। किनकि तपाईंको आत्मा अर्को क्षेत्रमा बास गरे तापनि तपाईंको शरीर पृथ्वीको हो। सधैं आफ्नो संसार र ईश्वरीय प्रेरणाको क्षेत्रको सन्तुलन खोज्नुहोस्। उज्यालो भोलिको आफ्नो दृष्टिकोण साझा गर्न अरूलाई खोज्नुहोस्।
சொர்க்கத்தின் தெய்வீக ஒளியில் ஆறுதல் தேடுங்கள், ஆனால் பூமியின் சமநிலை ஆற்றல்களைத் தொடாதீர்கள். ஏனென்றால், உங்கள் ஆவி வேறொரு மண்டலத்தில் இருந்தாலும், உங்கள் உடல் பூமிக்குரியது. உங்கள் உலகம் மற்றும் தெய்வீக உத்வேகத்தின் சாம்ராஜ்யத்தின் சமநிலையை எப்போதும் தேடுங்கள். பிரகாசமான நாளைப் பற்றிய உங்கள் பார்வையைப் பகிர்ந்து கொள்ள மற்றவர்களைத் தேடுங்கள்.
স্বর্গের ঐশ্বরিক আলোতে সান্ত্বনা সন্ধান করুন, তবুও পৃথিবীর ভারসাম্যপূর্ণ শক্তিগুলিকে স্পর্শ করতে ভুলবেন না। আপনার আত্মা অন্য রাজ্যে বসবাস করলেও আপনার দেহ পৃথিবীর রাজ্যের। সর্বদা আপনার বিশ্বের এবং ঐশ্বরিক অনুপ্রেরণার রাজ্যের ভারসাম্য সন্ধান করুন। একটি উজ্জ্বল আগামীর আপনার দৃষ্টিভঙ্গি শেয়ার করতে অন্যদের সন্ধান করুন।
در نور الهی بهشت به دنبال آرامش باشید، اما فراموش نکنید که به انرژی های متعادل کننده زمین دست نزنید. زیرا بدن شما از قلمرو زمین است حتی اگر روح شما در قلمرو دیگری ساکن باشد. همیشه به دنبال تعادل دنیای خود و قلمرو الهام الهی باشید. به دنبال دیگران باشید تا چشم انداز شما را از فردای روشن تر به اشتراک بگذارند.
ابحث عن الراحة في النور الإلهي للسماء، ولكن لا تنسى ألا تلمس طاقات الأرض المتوازنة. لأن جسدك هو من عالم الأرض على الرغم من أن روحك تقيم في عالم آخر. ابحث دائمًا عن التوازن بين عالمك وعالم الإلهام الإلهي. ابحث عن الآخرين لمشاركة رؤيتك لغد أكثر إشراقًا.

天の神聖な光に安らぎを求めながら、地球のバランスをとるエネルギーに触れることを忘れてはならない。あなたのスピリットが別の領域に存在していても、あなたの肉体は地球の領域だからです。自分の世界と神聖なインスピレーションの領域のバランスを常に求めなさい。 あなたの明るい明日のビジョンを分かち合える仲間を求めなさい。

在天堂的神圣之光中寻求慰藉，但不要忘记接触地球的平衡能量。因为你的身体属于地球领域，尽管你的灵魂居住在另一个领域。永远寻求你的世界与神圣灵感领域的平衡。 寻求他人分享你对美好明天的憧憬。

하늘의 신성한 빛으로 위안을 구하되, 지구의 균형 잡힌 에너지를 건드리지 않는 것을 잊지 마세요. 당신의 영은 다른 영역에 있지만 당신의 몸은 지구 영역에 속해 있기 때문입니다. 항상 당신의 세상과 신성한 영감의 영역의 균형을 추구하십시오. 더 밝은 내일에 대한 비전을 공유할 다른 사람들을 찾으십시오.

Tìm kiếm sự thoải mái trong Ánh sáng thiêng liêng của Thiên đường, nhưng đừng quên chạm vào nguồn năng lượng cân bằng của Trái đất. Vì cơ thể của bạn thuộc về cõi Trái đất mặc dù Linh hồn của bạn cư trú ở một cõi khác. Luôn tìm kiếm sự cân bằng giữa thế giới của bạn và lĩnh vực cảm hứng thiêng liêng. Tìm kiếm những người khác để chia sẻ tầm nhìn của bạn về một ngày mai tươi sáng hơn.
