Church Service 2021-05-30 Galileo Magnifico, Mama Mia Mama Mia

It was not until the 16th century that a mathematical model of a heliocentric system was presented, by the Renaissance mathematician, astronomer, and Catholic cleric Nicolaus Copernicus, leading to the Copernican Revolution. In the following century, Johannes Kepler introduced elliptical orbits, and Galileo Galilei presented supporting observations made using a telescope.

This was a complete change in the way humanity experienced the universe they lived in.  Once they discovered that our solar system does not revolve around the earth the first thing they wanted to do was kill the messengers.  The Church was the antagonist!

Regardless of how badly the church wanted the the universe to revolved around the earth and their world view the world had changed.

There are powerful religions all over the world that want to believe, and they will destroy if you disagree, that God is exclusive to them and their world view. 

The Apostle Paul is turning the world upside down again with his teachings about whom the Divine loves and embraces.

• This texts starts out with comparing the difference of those who live in the Flesh and those who live in Spirit.
• The main difference for me is those who live in the flesh are people who restrict themselves to live in the ego mind.  It is obvious how people become slaves to that.
• They are slaves to fear
• Greed
• Addiction
• Anger
• Hatred
• Bigotry
• Defying science for their own biases
• Their beliefs and the systems they create around them often create pain, suffering and suppression for those who do not fit into their world view.
• Losers of the Super Bowl
• They like the Church in the 16th Century will ignore the realities of science to push their own propaganda and Fleshy World View!
• What does it mean to be led by the Spirit?  How can we be sure?
• People create evil, pain and suffering everyday claiming it is God’s will!
• What does it mean to live by the flesh?
• Being slaves and living in fear?
• Children calling God Daddy!  Adopted. 

Randi Michaels adopting Pauli.  

• This is a snapshot of the first time Pauli and I met on September 15th, 2014 in Bulgaria. It was totally surreal. I handed her a teddy bear and she gave me flowers. She was taught 4 words in English and said, “Hallo, I’m called Pauli.” 

   She was 4 years old and didn’t know I’d spent 8 years looking for her. 

   They told me I couldn’t cry. They told me I’d be observed by Bulgarian Social                           

• Services while I was with her 4 hours each day for four days. They told her I was just a lady who came to play with her for a few days. They needed to see if we would bond. 
• On the 2nd day she started calling me “Mama”. On the third day she told the               translator she wanted to go to America with me. But I had to leave her on the 4th day so they could begin the adoption finalization process in the Bulgarian and American courts. We both cried that day. Hard. 
• I flew home alone and had to wait four long months before they informed me she was mine.  I was in my fifties and finally became a mother for the first time. 
• I can’t say it’s been easy. But I can definitely say she’s been a huge blessing. She’s my kid and we’re learning how to do this together. Joe is a devoted dad and our adventure is  just beginning. We’ve had a lot of help along the way and we’re incredibly grateful for those people. You know who you are. 

• All I can say is, if you have a dream in your heart, ignore the doubts, the naysayers, the fear. The only timeline that counts is the one you make for yourself. Time is precious. Follow your heart and you’ll be guided to make the right choices. 
• Happy Mother’s Day to all the brave and strong women on this challenging and beautiful path!!
• Those who live in the Spirit are those who will travel across the world to bring their child home.  Two souls who knew each other before they met.  
• Paul turned the We Are God’s Exclusives Club on it’s ear.  
• We are all adopted.  You are no longer a foster child, you are one of us!
• We are all joint heirs to God’s love
• There is a seat at the table and we discover when we sit down our last name is the same as the Divine.
• Even to this day this teaching turns the religious zealots and the ignorant into to the liars and frauds they are.  
• Inspire of the evidence they will hold on to the Fleshy Doctrines and unproductive beliefs.  
• I do not care how you come to know the Divine, When we choose to live in the Spirit the real world view come into play.  Regardless of how you arrive at the banquet table you are an honored guest and a full family member!
• I know how the universe works.  I also know, experientially the Spiritual world revolves around the Divine who love and is parent to all of creation!
