March 3, 2013 – The Spell That Transforms Within and Without

The Spell that Transforms Within and Without

We’ve been working on “love your enemies”, which is difficult. As Unity people, we know we don’t really have enemies, yet many of us are skilled at letting some people act like our enemies. When they do, don’t you just want to take your magic wand and ZAP them? Good news: you can!

Jesus said, “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” The civil rights activists of Selma, Alabama, showed us by hindering your oppressor from doing wrong you are loving him. Charles Fillmore said, “Things have a material and a spiritual identity. The spiritual identity is the side which causes things.” (But our attention always goes to the material identity.) Edgar Cayce said. “Think not they are the oppressors. Look within thine own heart. Has thou not practiced the same? For has it not been given that if there are ten just men (loving others as they love themselves), shall they not save the city—the nation—the world?” He says love is so powerful that merely a few just men can change the whole world. Whatever shows up, by changing it, we can change the world.
In Ho’o pono pono, an inner experience changes the outer. It has been measured. The steps are simple: I love you. I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. It releases that within to bring the change in the outer. Ask for healing for memories of something unresolved within. The nature of the divine is whole and the spiritual energy moves through, healing those inner memories. What a wonderful way to heal your “enemies”!

There is embedded within the consciousness that which is producing the pain, the fear. To have that removed, if you would not have your love restricted, love those around. The force to make it happen is the love. What is killed is the consciousness of limitation. That which is not whole. The love of God is whole. It removes the power of the un-whole, the focus on the un-whole. It takes away that power, and it is gone.

So practice the spell: I love you. I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. You’ll get a chance to practice! Someone will show up. I love you. I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. —that’s called ZAPPING!

September 23, 2012 – Ho’o Pono Pono: The Four Steps

by

9/23/12 Rev. David McArthur

Ho’o Pono Pono: The Four Steps

Dr. Hew Len, in Hawaii, healed so many patients that the ward was closed in just three years. He did this without therapy. He did it by working on himself, using Ho’o pono pono.

We believe what is out there is a reflection of what we have within. If it is in your world it is a part of you. If you don’t like what you see, you can clean it out. You have the power to change it.

The divine always expresses to us in wholeness and harmony. You cannot hold back the divine wholeness within you, the perfection which is you. So when something shows up, use these four steps. However, while thinking them might make a difference, it will not transform you. To transform, instead of saying “I love you”, feel it. Thinking is nice, but doing the loving is transformative.

1st is “I love you.” FEEL it, if you want transformation. Your love goes to that part of yourself that is out-picturing the disharmony. The part of you which is divine love goes to it, too, and has all the power. It is waiting for you to ask.

2nd is “I’m sorry.” FEEL free to let go. If you remain in your head, your head will give you all the reasons “they” were wrong. Reasons don’t matter here. Have the willingness to let go. “I didn’t mean to create disharmony.” This is repentance.

3rd is “Please forgive me.” FEEL the deep desire for freedom. The disharmony has no place in your life anymore. Ask the divine presence to remove it, to free you fully.

4th is “Thank you” and it is easy. We FEEL fully the appreciation for, and complete acceptance of, what is given.
God will heal anything in your heart. She will remove any limits, if you want to feel better.

A NASA rocket was hopelessly off course. It had no self guidance system, and one of the scientists knew they had no control. She went to prayer. She had done some Ho’o pono pono work before, so she called Dr. Len in Hawaii who does the “unseen” work. With his guidance, she told the rocket, “I love you”. They worked the four steps of Ho’o pono pono, and the rocket self-corrected!

What are you one with? Ask yourself. —That amazing power!

“Thank you!”

September 16, 2012 – Ho’o Pono Pono – I Love You

Ho’o Pono Pono / “I Love You”

I want to touch something new. When we pray we connect with the divine presence and hold in mind someone we care about. Then we want the universe to bring healing to them. But there is a teaching that what is out there is a reflection of what is within us, and we can get rid of it. So we have some control. We can do something.

Dr. Hew Len was counselor for the criminally insane at a Hawaiian hospital . The patients had committed the most violent, heinous crimes. But Dr. Len didn’t meet with the patients. He didn’t interview anybody. He practiced ho’o pono pono. It says all is within, so he worked on himself!  Several weeks passed and the customary daily violence in the ward lessened. Inmates began cooperating and forming into active, productive groups. With the exception of only two inmates, the entire ward of thirty patients was healed in three years and the ward was closed. “I had to take completely within myself the responsibility for what I was experiencing. I had to clear myself of toxic thoughts and replace them with love.”

Gandhi’s approach was slightly different. Observing the violence as India struggled for national freedom, he fasted to remove from within himself whatever might have contributed to the violence that he saw outside himself. He practiced a complete focus and dependence on the love of God. The violence stopped.

Is it all here, inside? You don’t need to understand. Spirit will bring meaning to you. Just hold the idea in your heart in neutral. When you see that which you want healed, the response is these words: “I love you.” Whether it is a reflection from the collective unconscious within, or a remembered pattern, the response is “I love you.” If you want to free someone in your world, say, “I love you.” To that within yourself, say “I love you.” To that Divine Presence, say, “I love you.”

What an amazing way to learn our oneness! —That you have the power within to transform the world around you. You have that power and I share it with you simply because “I love you!”
