Spiritual Life of Trees

Recently in my area our government has created a bypass which connects one area of the county to another. This bypass is a traffic gift. What once took nearly an half hour to drive now takes 15 to 20 tops.

Also noticeable on the drive are all the new subdivisions that have cropped up. New houses, new townhomes and new apartment complexes. What saddens me and should sadden you are all the trees that were cut down to clear the land in order to build new homes.
Why should this sadden you? We simply do not understand how our survival on planet Earth is profoundly interconnected and directly related to the life of trees.

It is no coincidence that one of the main spiritual or religious symbols in the world is the Tree of Life.

First, our quality of air is directed related to the quantity of trees available for purifying the air that we breathe.

What do I mean? Well it is basic biology. Trees take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. We in turn breathe in oxygen and....can you feel the connection?

Judaism there is the holy day Tu'beshvat....which is celebrated as New Year of Trees. Where one can plant a tree or be more ecologically conscious. The meal or seder acknowledges all the trees give to us.

Life should not be about how much money we can earn. How much land can be cleared, how much real estate can be built and how wealthy we can become from the sell of....

My spiritual path includes honouring Trees and what they do for us to sustain our life. All life on earth. Please be mindful of trees. They give us shelter, food, fuel...and air.

The Decree of Faith

Take faith with you as you inquire and exact your actions.

Faith is the mightiest tool ever given to humankind for transformation
and for turning dreams into realities.

The Decree of Faith

I no longer confuse what I seem to be with who I really Am.
Knowing Who I Am, I still my mind, greet my courage, and seed myself
With faith.

Here in my solitude, I Am not burdened by thoughts of the past.
I have no fear of the future.
Divorced from past and future,
I have faith that Life in all of its infinite wisdom will take care of
me.
Holding positive faith, I know all situations will be resolved in Divine
right order
without my control.

The Consciousness that brought my Spirit here
is the Consciousness that will guide me safely through my life
the instant I allow it to.
My path is illuminated by Divine Light
as I take each step toward my Divine nature.
Every question I have is met with an answer when I still my mind to
listen.
I have faith in the power of the Love that I Am
and my way is made clear.
I take each step forward with faith and love.

This moment I bind myself to positive faith and allow the power of good
to surge around and through me.
I Charge myself with radiant I Am Light
and embrace all power given to me from above me and within me.
My faith and courage dispel the limits and inhibitions of my past,
and I intend to live each day from this moment on in faith,
elevating my consciousness and being lifted into the future of myself.
I Am indeed blessed
. . . and so it is.

The Universal Light Church

An interfaith, interdenominational church with members of various walks of life and religious/spiritual backgrounds including but not limited to Jews, Christians, Moslems, Hindus and all other spiritual believers.

I am , religiously speaking, a practicing Jew as well as I consider my self to be MetaSpiritual which in my definition means I acknowledge various world spiritual writings to be valid missives from which I can obtain knowledge of religion and spirituality.

I believe in miracles and hands on healing that is spoken of in the Hebrew Scriptures as well as the Christian scriptures and other eastern scriptures throughout the world.

All of these religions practiced some form of energy healing which in modern times has become known by various and numerous monikers such as Reiki, Chios Healing, Prayer, Laying on of Hands and through such schools of thought as Barbara Brennan and Donna Eden to name a scant few.

It is my 1st Amendment right to practice my religion and spirituality according to the dictates of my religious/spiritual beliefs in G-d.

the 1st. Amendment:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; etc...."

My choice to become a member of The Universal Light Church is to reaffirm my committment to my religious/spiritual freedom and to stand with my brothers and sisters in faith in our Creator and what blessings of physio/Spiritual healing and methods to obtain that S/He has blessed us with; such as laying on of hands (Reiki,Chios Healing, Energy Healing) and prayers and all other modalities that help to keep us connected to Creator/Source of LIFE.

My Eemah, My Mother

My mother is so beautiful.

Inside and out!

My brother calls her "special".

That makes me laugh and her

say we are ganging up on her!

It's ok that its taken her nearly

4 years to figure out what an

"email address" is or where the

"top" of the browser is!

My mother taught me unconditional

love, a lesson I am still learning.

She taught me unconditional acceptance.

She taught me to listen to my body

and to trust my intuition.

She taught me to heal with herbs and to

see with my third eye.

I love my mother, my eemah, and she is

VERY "special".

Mission of Light

What does The Creative Force, God or Higher Power means to me.

My connection to the Divine Consciousness/Supernal Source of Life was something I felt from a very early age. I was not raised in a religious home however my mother was very spiritual in her outlook on life. She believed that we must always be thankful for what we have and to try and do what is good and what is right. She is naturally intuitive and exhibited great many psychic God given gifts of which my brother and I both inherited. My mother is a beautiful example of unconditional LOVE. God is Love. Throughout the years I have studied many religions including Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormonism, Vaishnavism, and Judaism.

I am, through descent as well as through formal acknowledgment, apart of the Jewish people and the Jewish faith. However, my attachment to Judaism, it's people and principles is not one of a pure and solely dogmatic nature. Through my life's experiences of both religious and spiritual in nature I have determined that God is far more infinite and far more inclusive that any religion teaches.

I have come to the knowledge that God, our "Creator",HaShem, Shekhinah our Source of Light and Life or the Collective Consciousness as some prefer, is far more infinite, far more everything that we could ever imagine. God our Mother/Father our Ultimate Source is pure Love and pure Light.

God is a verb, Life Becoming, Life that is, that will be and that always was. God is the Creative Principle, air, light, dark, God is everything and we are part and parcel of God. Within each and everyone of us resides our own portion of the Spark of Divinity and we are not separate from it. God or, as some understand, AIN SOF is complete, perfect and Absolute and container of all LIFE and is all life.

As sparks of Divinity, as I believe, it is our mission to exhibit unconditional Love, Light and healing to all.(Yes, not always easy for ourselves or others) Restoring physio/spiritual healing to all of Creation. Love life as God loves life, as God Is, was and will be. And this is my life's mission as a healing minister.

This is what I believe that God's messenger, the radiant Swan, came to deliver to me when I was 4 years old. Thankfully it has only taken me 32 years to come into an understanding of my mission.

Be Blessed Love & Light,
RSwan; Healing Minister, LightWorker, Priestess
