I just came in from a night on the Town
so to speak, or moreso a spiritual gathering
at the Seaside Church of Religious Science
where some Minister allies and old minister friends
were among those gathered to Promo a Big event coming
this October.
The event is called "Walk of Sacred Action
A Living Pilgrimage," October 3-7
2005 at La Quinta Resort in Palm Springs.
Visit http//www.agnt.org for more details.
The Conference October 3-7 aims to draw
attention to an upcoming pilgrimage from
Syria to Isreal designed to retrace the historical
steps of Abraham, the father of the thee faiths
of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.
Years ago, I grew a lettuce called Abraham's New
Seed. This lettuce lived in a pot, and traveled with me
one Passover Easter season, where it gave up some
leaves for lunch at the home of my Orthodox
Jewish Father, as well as was a welcome visitor to Easter dinner
at the home of my girlfriend at the time; she was
a former Catholic, currently Pagan delightful woman.
We met because of a poem "My Goddess Prayer for You."
I do believe she read it at a gathering of Woman's
Spirituality and took aninterest in its author,
who happened to be me. And thus are relationship began.
As the story went, I wanted to take my friend for Passover
to the home of my Hassidic distant relations who lived
in LA. I was offended because they welcomes me, but not
her.
I felt so offended by this fundamentalist attitude
that I dedicated that the Seed of that lettuce to Abraham
that it's inspiration would being all the nations of the world
together. "Lettuce Grow Together" was the intention.
After than Spring event, I took the lettuce home and
nurtured it until it went to seed. The seeds were dedicated
to world peace and I called them Abraham's New Seed.
I carried forward the generations of that seed for numbers of
years, until around the time that the Gulf War broke out,
I lost its lineage to some poor seed storage management.
Tonight, in honor of the spirit of this gathering, I felt
it would be a good time to rededicate lettuce Seed
to the same intention, and so I headed to this event
with two packets of Mesclun Salad Mix and a pot
of soil, topped with some biodynamic compost
from Tierra Miguel CSA.
I had a bunch of flyers from the upcoming Feng Shui
Conference with me as well as The Light Connection
for July where we had two stores and a full page color ad
about our event.
After a full day of work on the conference, and quite
sleep deprived, I was one of the last cars to arrive
for the event. There was no parking whatsoever,
other than a spot right in front of the front door that
seemed to have been conveniently left open for
the EG Mobile and its Divine Mission.
There was a host of speakers from the New Thought
Movement. I was running my stuff and thought to leave
a couple times, but I wanted to see Reverend Kathy Hearn
who once had a very popular New Thought Church in
San Diego. Before she retired from that post more than
1000 would attend her services. Years before, I gave
a talk at her Church when it only had about 25 members.
The other ministers I wanted to see where Rev Dr. Michael
Bechwith and his wife Rickie Byers Bechwith, who are both
very kind and loving. Rev Michael and Richie head the Agape
Church in the LA area, a real hoot of a Concsciousness raising
experience.
I was processing a lot of isolation type feelings, and doing
some comparing between their event and our upcoming event
in one month.
I knew there would be some people to meet here and tell
about the Feng Shui Conference, and I wanted to plant
those New Abraham Seeds.
Finally while Richie was singing, my energy shifted
and I tore open the lettuce envelope and scattered the seeds
on top of the soil.
During the finale Rickie was singing. I made my way up to the
stage and touched set it down on it. Thereone was singing
"I let go and I let God," a wonderful New Thought tune
written by Rickie, I believe.
I took a couple photos. Then as the event ended I came to life
in the energy of the outer hall as everyone was miling around.
I found Rickie Byers Bechwith first. She was in the middle
of a conversation, and I took a step backward as not to intrude
my energy. Rickie saw me standing here at her side
though she did not look my way. She reached out and touched me
while she was talking to the other person. This felt comforting.
Then, she turned to me and called me by my name. I was
happy to be remembered.
IT has been a year since I last saw her. In one sound bite
of about ten seconds, I explained that these were Abraham's new seeds,
and asked for her blessing on them. She did so. Then She went on
to another conversation, but I held my ground. I wanted a photo.
She complied with my request, and thanked me for my consciousness.
Next I found Kathy Hearn, who I have not seen in many years.
Again it was sweet to be remembered. We both were part of San Diego
in the days when I was playing more active roles in creating community
events. Once she had allowed me to do an event in her Church in honor
of the December 30th World Peace Meditation that happens yearly.
That must have been in the early 80's. Today she travels widely.
When I approached, she called me by my name and said
she had seen my photo in The Light Connection this month.
That made me feel good. I have not seen her for many years.
It felt really good to see her again. We were once very close allies
during more innocent times in San Diego when I last
was very involved.
Hmm...now I see...this is the beginning of a similar new cycle...
starting with the Feng Shui event....the event will influence
San Diego at large...and so it is...
She gave the seeds a second blessing--very pure and very deep.
My third Blessing came with Rev Michael, who is a profoundly
bright light of spiritual consciousness.
I met him originally through my connection with Mark Victor Hansen
where he gave the closing Blessing. He has one of the largest
New Thought Churches in the LA area.
He is quite familar with the work I do. Every time we see each other,
I know the door is open and that one day, we will do an event together.
I explained about Abrahams New Seeds, and he gave a third blessing.
I took that photo.
"This is Abraham's New Seed, and from its lettuce will come
the food to bring the world together. I will see that you have some
of its leaf for Lunch in October, I told him."
"Yes," said Reverend Michael. We will do a ritual then."
From there I spend about an hour connecting with others in the
hall at the Church. Lots of folks were there who can help bring
the Feng Shui event alive. It was nurturing leaving my world of my
limited thoughts for a moment and stepping in another consciousness
where everything I see looks so very different.
I was the last to leave the parking lot. The space I found had a
sign nearby that said Reserved for Speaker.
I left saw it when I pulled up.
your eg
photos soon...
