Group: USA-California?

 

 

 

Iruka: . ..the joy of God surrounds you, the love of God enfolds you, wherever you are, He is. Good afternoon, I am Iruka, I am your friend and guide. What a beautiful clear day today is. I do not see the day as you do with the same senses that you do, but still I perceive it just as beautiful and just as cool as you do.

I am delighted to be here. I very much enjoyed your conversation, your joking, your sharing, and your enjoying each other. It is good to see the growth that you have. You have come a long way in only a few months. You have genuine love for each other. You are very concerned about each other and care about what happens in each other's lives. This has taken time. Not only did you have to get used to me and my teaching but you were also getting used to each other, and I can see that a genuine love has developed in this group. Today my lesson will be fairly light and simple. Simple in that the idea is simple, but these are never easy to implement are they. It is really a comment, an observation on an aspect of your culture, your work ethic, which has permeated this society for hundreds of years. It is to work hard, to make something of yourself, to strive, to work, and to grow. Not necessarily grow spiritually, but grow materially. You have a double nature, you have to survive on this planet, you have to worry about your material, your food, a place to live, physical survival.

I am sure you noticed that they are falling to the ground and they are swirling around the streets. But did you notice the change in the bugs and what they are starting to do? Probably not because you did not have time. Most of you work too hard, you are not doing things that make you happy. You are not doing things that relax you. You are not pursuing little goals of pleasure, perhaps a hobby, something that relaxes you from your job, and your workday. When you are so caught up with work and what you 'have to do' your focus gets away from your relaxation. Try to find time to do the things that bring you joy, that bring you satisfaction. Try to think about things that lighten your spirit, that create a bubble of serenity around you, that nothing from the day can penetrate. When you read about Christ Michael, He took off every Wednesday when He was with His disciples, for rest. This was above and beyond the times He took off to spend with the Father or to rest from each day. This was His way of resting so that when He got back to the work of the Father's kingdom, He was energized and felt physically good, physically up, and ready to go. So this week, think about giving yourself more relaxation, more time to watch the clouds, more time to watch the geese as they fly south, more time to watch the spiders build their webs. This is not doing nothing, this is for you, this is for your spirit, this is so that you may find delight in what is around you, this is so that you can wake up and realize the life that is all around you, that so often it is hard to see anymore because life has gotten so busy. This is hard and this may not seem important, but it is, it is very important. You will go back to work more focused, with a lighter burden. You will be more productive because you are ready, you have had your rest and you are ready to return. Now I will take questions.

E1: Hello Iruka, I don't have a question, but I just wanted to say thank you very much for the lesson. It seemed to hit the spot. I appreciate your timing, thank you very much.
