Sophia Psalm 111<\/p>\n

Gratefulness To Goddess<\/p>\n

1. How wonderful You are, Living Goddess, Who ARE Divine Love, Yourself. All loving originates in You and returns to You. If You did not exist, how could we love You with our own heartwholeness?<\/p>\n

2. All wonders that exist originated from You and in You! Wonder of wonders that *we* exist, to be aware, to think, to *feel*… and that You take pleasure in us as we come to take fullest measure of pleasure in You!<\/p>\n

3. Measureless are the joys in knowing You, experiencing the awesomeness of Your Works across all of time & space; blessed are we with Your Living Presence.<\/p>\n

4. The Seeds of Immortality that have been sown into the deepest depths of our very souls are seeds of *You* as VeryEssence of our own being; and in You we are becoming all that we *can* be.<\/p>\n

5. The very food we eat to sustain our lives is loving sustenance *You* have provided from Your Body of the Living Earth. When we partake of the meaning of the land, we partake of our Divine Mother.<\/p>\n

6. You are the Tree of Eternal Life; You are the boundless Sky of our infinite potential; and all that can *be* eternal is Eternal in Thee.<\/p>\n

7. None of us avoids the path of sorrow, the path of pain — that we be more intensely *deepened* in You. In Your Wisdom You know that these are *necessary* for us to *attain* wisdom in You. Love of You is the beginning of true wisdom dawning into our lives.<\/p>\n

8. From You, the healing within. And ever, in You, new surprises! You mystify and You delight us; You provide all that makes our lives worth the living.<\/p>\n

9. In You the sheer wonder of our awareness recurrently unfolds like
\nflowerpetals to the morning sun. You are the Living Light Who feeds our growth & illuminates us from within.<\/p>\n

10. The priceless Pearl, the Treasure of treasures You are, to us, Beloved; & in Your Love for us You recognize & value *us* as the treasures *we* are, to *You*, too!<\/p>\n

Praise for God’s Wonderful Works<\/p>\n

Psalm 111<\/p>\n

1 Praise the LORD. I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart, in the company of the upright, in the congregation.<\/p>\n

2 Great are the works of the LORD, studied by all who have pleasure in them.<\/p>\n

3 Full of honor and majesty is his work, and his righteousness endures for ever.<\/p>\n

4 He has caused his wonderful works to be remembered; the LORD is gracious and merciful.<\/p>\n

5 He provides food for those who fear him; he is ever mindful of his covenant.<\/p>\n

6 He has shown his people the power of his works, in giving them the heritage of the nations.<\/p>\n

7 The works of his hands are faithful and just; all his precepts are trustworthy,<\/p>\n

8 they are established for ever and ever, to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness.<\/p>\n

9 He sent redemption to his people; he has commanded his covenant for ever. Holy and terrible is his name!<\/p>\n

10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all those who practice it. His praise endures for ever!<\/p>\n

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^<\/p>\n

Psalm 111<\/p>\n

The works of Good are great
\nand are the praise of creation.
\nGood is not inward and not outward. It is both
\nbut it is more. It is higher.
\nIt is joined and whole. It is holy, and therefore Good.
\nGood is creative and the children of the Light of Good
\nbecome known in that light when they allow creation.
\nSo get going with great praise and be creative.
\nAll works become creative when they are re-creational and loving.
\nIt is not what you are doing that matters
\nbut what you are feeling about it as you do it.
\nEvery act can be mindful, prayerful, and playful.
\nThen it becomes not just outward
\nor not just inward but whole and sacred and a Good work.
\nSo praise the art of living
\nand whatever you do, make it creative.
\nNothing is so small or trivial that it cannot be a prayer,
\na creative act of your goodness.
\nThen it is no longer a duel between inner and outer
\nbut a harmony of oneness expressing itself through Good*s idea.
\nReligion is not a doctrine or code of law.
\nReligion is a recreational playfulness of spirit.
\nPeople are not born into religion but into the game of creative choice.
\nPeople are bliss-beings that praise creativity in every way.
\nPeople are soul-spaces of infinite spiritual creativity.
\nThey move infinity around and make it more.
\nMostly they move ideas around as fun things to do with Good.
\nTheir vocation is their vacation
\nand their prayers fun things to do with the consenting Universe.
\nThen they do not get stuck in the inside subjectively
\nor on the outside objectively.
\nThey flow recreationally as holy beings
\nand masterminds of good-idea waves of playful choice-prayers.
\nChoice-prayers are magical-movements of praise
\nallowed to be made real. They join inward thought-forms
\nto the outward form-thoughts of the seen.
\nThey allow the Idea to be shaped by desire
\nas fun ways of being what you are:
\ncreative bliss-beings of light.
\nSo take pleasure in the creative, no matter what way it happens
\nand creation will become your recreational playtime.
\nAll will be a praise-prayer and Light-work of movement
\ncreated for fun by the light-worker within your Good.
\nChoice-prayers are the motivational magic of miracles.
\nThey are the art of love-saints who have got it going on.
\nEverything comes to those who choose,
\nwho are steadfast in their Good.
\nGood things are made with playful thought-fingers
\nand good hearts that are handy with light arrangements of reality.
\nLight-working love-saints write their own commandments of Yes
\nand only say no to hopelessness.
\nTheir covenant is to Good and they have fun being fun.
\nFear is the beginning of poor choice
\nbut wisdom is the choice to be free.
\nWhen freedom allows love to guide it,
\nwisdom shines out.
\nGood understands and overcomes all fear
\nand states its goodness into reality-blossoms.
\nManifestations of miraculous thoughts
\nthat are flower-arrangements of good pleasure-forms,
\nand they see that as perfectly Good.
\nThey know that Light is the love-commandment of Good
\nand, knowing this, they shine.<\/p>\n

love<\/p>\n
