What do we have inside of us that becomes the greatest gift? It is the love of our Creator, the Divine Presence that lives within our heart. This World offers many temptations that others judge us for. These inner feelings, these moments of love and compassion can change our planet. What ...
I always love when the New Year comes, it means changes. New numbers, new life. We can begin again and look forward to a new energy. 2007 added up to a 9. Number 9 is the "End of a cycle, the beginning of a new cycle." According to Jin Shin Jyutsu (JSJ), (an ancient form of Japanese ...
The sign of Cancer - 4th Holy Day of the 12 Holy Days of Christmas is assigned to a Disciple, sign of the Zodiac, Spiritual attainment, Spiritual part of the physical body, and a passage from the Bible. My book "Christmas Meditations on the Twelve Holy Days December 26 - January 6" is a compilation of my 26 year dedication to these days. My book can be used all year as we travel through each sign of the Zodiac. The sign of Cancer brings in the Summer Solstice. It is the time of year where we have the longest days and shortest nights. Its Spiritual keynote is Light.
CALLING ON GOD We cry out in pain, in fear. We are alone. We feel helpless. We tremble with fear. We are lost. Our hearts are paralyzed. Our bodies are sick. We feel in disbelief, That such a moment has come. Will it last forever? Fear explodes; It cripples; It makes us hopeless, helpless; It makes us forget the one truth. In this hour of need, We turn to Him. We call, we pray. We plead that He may hear. We try, we fail. We suffer. We fall.
With Spring comes the beginning of Aries. The earth is resurrected by the powers of our Creator. The ancients believed that when God created the elements the sun was in Aries. The universal focus for this time is "Behold, I make all things new." (Rev.21:5) Each one of us is the "center of the ...
Things happen for a reason. Our whole lives are a series ofrnconnected events, one foreshadowing another. It is all one giant puzzle that brings together all the necessary elements that are needed for our soul’s evolution and growth. These are really all given in love, the one cohesive force that binds all of us together as one. The Christian religion has adopted many rituals and days ofr
MerryThoughts for Halloween "There is no monster. The monster is ignorance." December 21, 2012 – Is it the end or the beginning? By Merry C. Battles The ancients speak of this time as the Shift of the Ages. All time past, present, and future has the opportunity to speed up or slow down, stop, and then start all over again at a higher level of integration.
My spiritual teacher many years ago used to say, "There is only one will." In this crazy life we may say to ourselves, "This is not fair. This is the worst thing that could happen to me." Later, sometimes much later, we can look at experiences and say, "Now I understand why this had to happen."
Libra is the 7th holy day of the 12 holy days of Christmas. The 12 holy days start on December 26-January 6th. Each day is assigned to a Disciple, sign of the Zodiac, spiritual attainment, spiritual part of the physical body, and a thought meditation from the Bible. My book "Christmas Meditations on the Twelve Holy Days December 26-January 6" by Merry C. Battles is a compilation of my 26 year dedication to the 12 holy days of Christmas.

It started with me thinking about the Trinity: Father, son or daughter, and Holy Spirit Mother. The Father is like the sun. He gives us life and helps us to grow. In the book, "The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ"by Levi, the ideas of the Trinity are revealed. The Father is the will of God. The son or daughter is the Christ or love of God. The Holy Spirit, or Holy Breath is the truth, faith, wisdom, and thought of God.
Emotions are for feeling, feeling in and out: Tears of sadness; cries of joy; words of anger;nnfear as toys. Round and round we go. Sometimes laughing out. Sometimes tears inward - make for sick bones. Emotions are for feeling. Just what is it all about? They say our feelings create for ...
It's hard to see people you love get old. It could be a stranger on the street. I have been fortunate to see people of ALL ages be young. They defy the odds. They break the mold of what they see happening to those around them. They remain youthful and "young" way into their years on Earth. I ...
In the midst of total chaos, send out as much love as possible. One light illuminates the darkness. You may feel persecuted or punished when things go wrong. Remember that the greatest healing balm is love. In the books “Life and teachings of the masters of the Far East” Baird T. Spalding (1872-1953) describes his adventures in the Himalayas with the spiritual masters. In it he describes teleportation, people walking through fire unharmed, Bi location, and Jesus appearing with Judas and forgiving him. Without the crucifixion there could not have been the Resurrection.
"The greatest power on Heaven and Earth is thought." nfrom "The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ" by Levi I get spiritual messages riding down the street. Words on cars, trucks and signs bring me important lessons to be remembered. I was riding on a busy street the other day. My head was ...
"My dwelling place is love. It's home is the heart. It reaches to all corners of the Universe and comes right back to live in you. It deems the impossible. It sanctifies the improbable. It performs the miraculous. It feeds all souls. My love encompasses every atom of space - it soars in between ...
You might ask, "What happens to all those eggs in a woman's ovaries when she goes through menopause?" Those creative eggs are transformed into creative ideas. This time of life is like going on the Triple EEE ride of a lifetime, 24 hours a day. Ok, I felt like I was gripping the steering wheel ...
