A Beatitude - Mourning

                “Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.” That would sound like one would expect that you should be sad. I was the last person in the world to advocate sadness. Laughter, joy... that's life… so why would I have said, “Blessed are they who mourn”? When one is growing, evolving spiritually, that means that an aspect of you… is constantly reaching past what is to something more.

                …Now in doing so, you have chosen arduous ways. You have chosen to walk through trial by fire, as it were. Do you not think, when you look back over your lives, do you not see how you have created situations that were very difficult and you made your way through them? …You grew past that, but in the process of going that way, when you were in the middle of your trials, were you nor mournful? Did you not sorrow at the pain and the discomfort, the disappointment, the fear? There was a great mourning in you, was there not? There was the longing to be free of it, and while you were in that mourning state, you didn’t always see the blessing of where you were, did you?

                When you were in the depths of your sorrow, if someone had said to you, :Oh, be thankful. This is a great blessing,” you would have thought them cruel and unkind in every way, would you not? So in looking back and seeing the progress and you recognize that you did mourn, indeed you were mournful, as a mother giving birth sorrows in the birth pain and yet rejoices greatly at the child she holds afterward and soon forget the sorrow.

                 So my words were, “Blessed are you when you grow past your sadness, past your mourning, past your trials. Blessed are you, for then you are comforted.” When your trials are over and there is peace, then you are in a state of comfort, are you not? Then you are comforted. So “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted” is an encouragement to continue on, to keep on trying, to keep on going ... You keep growing and you release the mourning, you let go of the sorrow, you let go of the pain, and you go on and you progress.”

A Beatitude – Pure of Heart

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” Oh yes, “the pure of heart” - those who bear no malice toward anyone, those who see the good in even a seeming act of wrong, those whose love is great enough to forgive at the moment some slight, some insult, some wrong thought, those who can look upon a wretched situation and say, “Somewhere in this there is a blessing. Somewhere in this there is joy. Something good must come from this.” Those are the pure of heart and they do see God because they see with the eyes of love and they see and they know that it's all an illusion and that in truth, everything is as it should be, within the human Spirit.

A Beatitude – Merciful

“Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.” This goes hand in hand with “Judge not lest ye be judged for with the same measure that you measure, so shall it be measured unto you.” When you are merciful, it is a form of compassion, and compassion is very nonjudgmental. It is one of the feelings that the human heart can bestow upon another that truly lifts the spirit out of the dredges, is to be compassionate, to be merciful. We are all in need of mercy from time to time. We are all in the need of forgiveness, of being released from the bondage of an error perception. So to be merciful, indeed, does draw to you mercy for yourself."
