A Few Words from Pastor Bryan
...and Paul Selig
As most of you know, I love to read books that feed me spiritually. I'm usually reading several at once. I read all kinds of stuff. I really should take more time to read novels and classic literature and light-hearted things, but the time I have to read is almost always taken up with theology or some kind of spiritual material. I just can't get enough of it.
In the past year or so, the books that have spoken most powerfully to me are all by a man named Paul Selig. Actually, they are written "through" Paul Selig. In other words, they are "channeled" by or through Paul. Or that's the claim anyway. He closes his eyes, "hears" a phrase spoken to him from the realm of the spirit, whispers it first, and then repeats it again. These "downloads" are recorded, and then the repetition is removed and the words are transcribed. These words are not edited at all, and they become his books. The books are usually 2-3 hundred pages. Not one edit. He's released close to 15 of them now, and I've read about half of them.
Still with me? Yeah I know this is "out there," but Paul and his books were brought to my attention by someone for whom I have great respect, and they have spoken to the depths of my being and helped me more than I can say. And what's strange is that it's often not even the content that speaks to me. It's the overall energetic "transmission" that moves me. It's hard to put into words, and this kind of thing isn't for everyone.
But then again maybe you're not everyone.
By the way that was the catch phrase of the very unusual little college my son Sam went to outside Asheville, N.C. called "Warren Wilson College." Their ads would say, "We're not for everyone, but then again, maybe you're not everyone." They had Sam immediately...
But back to Paul Selig. I've mentioned him simply because I read a very simple phrase in his most recent book called "The Book of Innocence" that keeps haunting me (in a good way). I have a feeling someone who will read this might need to hear it as well. It's this simple. The "guides" said to Paul;
"God as truth, God as love, God as expressed knowledge--may be met by you in ways that will hold you completely."
Paul interrupts the transmission and asks, "But how do we experience this? This sounds quite lovely, but what do we actually do?"
The guides respond with these astonishingly powerful words;
"You forgive yourselves for not being where you think you should be."
I'm going to just stop right there. If my hunch is correct, someone who is going to read this needs to read that, and just that. If that's you, read it as many times as you need to in order to hear it and be "held completely."
May the amazing, unconditional Love and Grace of God be yours, ours, and everyone's.
Pastor Bryan
