Spiritual Writings & Thoughts
Welcome! As much as I enjoy painting, I also enjoy studying subjects about life and death, consciousness, reality, NDE’s (Near-Death Experiences), spirituality, reality, quantum physics, and related subjects. I have been interested in these subjects for at least 60 years. During that time I wrote a lot, mostly in story form some which I wrote for the Masters Degree I earned in psychology - Spiritual Evolution of Consciousness.
If this interests you, check out my writings. Hope you enjoy and please contact me if you have questions.
Best wishes, peace and love — Richard
The Ocean of Love and Mercy
A Walk Into The Night
By
Richard C. Whitman
2024
In Costa Rica late at night while walking to my art studio in the dark, I could “feel” eyes upon me. “I’m not alone,” I thought, “This is a jungle. Creatures are watching me!, and some are bigger and much faster than I am.
While I'm thinking all this I remember a year of so a year ago when a black panther ran right in front as it dashed into the jungle. Before I even knew it was there it was past me and in the jungle. If it was attacking me I probably would have been dead before I knew what was happeing. It was that fast.
An element of fear quickens my pace. I remember the two floodlights above the studio door turn on with motion, so I waved my arms, and the area becomes flooded with bright light! Whee!
Truth is none of us are really alone. The jungle - life challenges, dangers, etc., surrounds all of us. We all step into the darkness of our mere being. We feel vulnerable, alone, loss, frightened, even confused.
“Eyes are watching,” she whispers as I look over my shoulder. Self doubts paw at us with apprehensions, aloneness, as fear lingering around our feet wraps its web to trip us up. It’s just a matter of time…
Yet, in the depth of our being, we know we’re not alone! Intuition can guide us rather than fear torment us.
Intuition is a step closer to the divine. It has a clearer/greater vision than our egoic perception of reality. We know this. It’s built into the fabric of our being. We merely need to stop “thinking all the time” and be quiet to hear the truth.
People with Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) often say they can see in 360 degrees. Studies show animals see colors we don’t see, dogs hear sounds we can’t hear.
Our senses limit us so we can exist in this realm. Yet Intuition opens the door to the divine. You can add prayer to this as well. God, love, whatever word you want to use is closer to us than our heartbeat.
So, loved ones, stop every once in a while. Listen. Trust your intuition…it’ll guide you through life, and back home with all your twists and turns. Don’t forget to laugh and giggle. Joy routes out fear like sunlight takes over darkness. Love’s that way….
