I do consider the nature of the world is becoming more challenging.  It is becoming greater.  But that means our ability to handle it is also increasing.  We have greater loving and mastery of who we are as we love all creation. – John Morton

This article comes from John Morton’s sharing at Peace Theological Seminary and College of Philosophy’s Graduation Ceremony at the 2024 Conference of Celebration. 

What we are experiencing is eternal.  It’s all right now in this moment.  One of the amazing aspects of who we are is that it’s ongoing, continuous.  It doesn’t stop.  It is movement.  I look for the opportunity as, “What would we do now?”

At the core of all we do is the loving, however that presents itself.  I make myself available to the opportunity.  I have a ministry to show up.  We all have that ministry, or you wouldn’t be here.  It is about showing up in who we are, in the highest we can become.  I haven’t found any finite aspect to that.

Whatever we attain and obtain is a cause of celebration.  We are in the celebration. We extend what we do as students of the Spirit into a practical reality, something we can get ahold of in a masterful way.

I encourage you to consider you are here in that way, even if you are just admiring and celebrating someone you love and adore. Maybe they have a way of making you do what you have to do, sometimes called karma.  I know it’s a celebration because it is present as an ongoing opportunity.  Anything that moves in the creation is a beloved.

I heard a doctor on a television show inviting us into the mind of God.  He called it a string.  How would you know it’s a string?  It somehow moves in that way, brought to our awareness as a movement of harmonic sound.  Call out your harmonic self and consider you are meeting up with someone else on the string.  Maybe it’s a string of pearls.  My beloved calls that one out.  If you say, “I call out the string of pearls,” you are my beloved.  It is very inclusive.

I do consider the nature of the world is becoming more challenging.  It is becoming greater.  But that means our ability to handle it is also increasing.  We have greater loving and mastery of who we are as we love all creation.

That is something John-Roger acknowledged as in the mind of God.  I say more directly, in the heart of God.  It is a beloved that loves whatever has come forth, knowing it comes from who I am.  It must be love, even if I don’t remember what I have created.  I’m sure we’ve all had that karma.  We don’t remember it.

That is one of the ways we make a decision in every moment of our life.  It is to love this one.  It’s happening to me right now.  I was not really expecting that. It is like a part of me that I am is still working on loving. Then, I can turn the string and see what’s at the other end.  I can see this one is learning to love.

What would you show them?  Would you show them shortcomings and how things don’t measure up, where we lose our way, forgetting who we are?  Along comes someone who taps us on the shoulder and it’s, “Hey Beloved, let’s go!”

What would that be?  Whatever it is, we are in the beloved. Wherever we go, we would be meeting up with greater loving.  There is no place in creation where there is not greater love.

Even if we want to retreat, withdraw, reject, or attempt to terminate what is in our life, that is an opportunity for greater loving.  It’s not possible to go to anything less than love.  When we attempt that, it’s just a temporary moment.  Maybe we say, “Pardon me, my love.  I’ve lost my bearing of who I am for a moment.  Thank you for calling forward the greater loving we can share.”

Remember, you always have your tone with you.  That is a harmonic way of knowing God calls your name.  What I am experiencing in Spirit is those who are beloved in the line of the Travelers are converging more powerfully than before.   This is the greater loving of the beloved.

I was hearing one known as Shakespeare reminding us, “A rose by any other name is still a rose.”  A beloved by any other name, shape or form is still a beloved of God.  There was a purpose in calling this building Prana.  It is also the Purple Rose Ashram of the New Age. There is the rose by any other name.

John-Roger was into this, sharing the sacredness and what is often a mystery, a secret, until we can handle it.  When we realize who we are, it is a sign that we can handle everything.  We are not given anything we cannot handle, and we would walk accordingly.

Even if you are in what you would consider the worst moment in your existence, consider that an opportunity to step into what you were born to handle. Declare that.  First, with those who are within you, that they walk freely and openly with you.  You invite them every day, with every breath you take, “Walk with me my beloved, that I may reach out and feel your touch.  If I am unable to reach out, I feel your touch.  You are always with me.”

Those in Spirit are doing it again.  If they are doing it for who I am, I’m sure it’s what is pouring forth on the planet at this time.  There is a greater outpouring of the Spirit.  It always emerges ahead of whatever is coming.  We have a God who knows what It is doing and It would not do anything It couldn’t handle.  That way is prepared, and it is eternal.

Have the consciousness of courage and a willingness to be strong in what is before us to choose.  Choose in what is great and mighty of the Lord.  The Almighty always has the strength and whatever it would take for us to rise up in any moment as beloved of God.

In whatever would take place in this world, there is some allowance for this thing we call the negative power to be done.  It is in a finite form, so this too shall pass, whatever it is.   Have faith and trust in what you are doing.  We have places to go, people to meet.  If not in this world, in the world to come.  For it is not just legions, it is without measure.  Wherever we are, we are before the beloved of God.

The Blessing of the Gene of Peace

John gave this blessing at the Gathering of Peacemakers at the 2024 Conference of Celebration.

Dear Lord,

We give thanks that You have brought us here

as Your children of peace.

John-Roger referenced the gene of peace.

Let’s consider it’s been passed onto us.

We all have peace in us as a natural way

for us to express while we are on the planet,

and to demonstrate it fully in our way.

Whatever comes present for us individually,

for us as family and friends,

we have the opportunity

and also the power of peace that surpasses any challenge.

We can be those who anchor it more fully at this time.

It’s a beautiful vision that visits us.

It also has the power to release us from those things that cause pain, difficulty, and suffering.  As it’s done for any one of us, it’s done for all.

Thank you, Lord.
