Happy sun-filled days at our Americas Temple!

I have just returned from several happy days at our Americas Temple in Montgomery, Texas. This Temple is named ‘The Temple of the Golden Rose’ and it is a truly apt name. Every time I visit, it seems the ‘golden light’ has grown! Again this year I was visiting for our annual Board and Council meetings and our special guest this time was Gay Robinson, Co-leader and Mother of our Australasian Temple. (Last year it was her sister Lyn who joined us.)

This meeting of representatives from three continents and our triangle of three Temples feels very special and our day of meetings was blessed with both heavenly and earthly sunshine. A special joy was the amazing flowering of Bluebonnets and other wild flowers on ‘Temple Hill’ and all around the beautiful labyrinth, ‘masterminded’ in its design and creation by Jane, our Americas Mother. This is indeed a stunning feature of the sacred land here and I was inspired greatly each morning in my meditations. Do visit if you can. I know you will love it and be inspired too. (See our Americas website for details and upcoming retreats http://www.whiteaglelodge.org.)

I also hope you will enjoy the photos coming shortly.

Thoughts on the Crisis in Korea

As we pray about the situation in North Korea and hold everyone concerned in the light of the shining Christ Star, my feeling is that it is really important to try and let go thoughts about the rights and wrongs, and remain very still and poised, trying to be as White Eagle says in the Quiet Mind (the chapter is: ’Is a Tower of Strength and Light’):

'Do not despair; do not dwell on the negative side of any situation, for you do no good by this. Always put into operation the forces of construction. Believe that good will come, that the best is coming, and it will...When you are in the shadows, or you feel that the shadows are near, remember to look up, to visualize the blazing Star above you in the spirit spheres, and to feel its strength, its steadiness, its radiance, pouring into your heart. Go forward in confidence and in full consciousness of the light of this Star shining upon you.'
