New song, "a beautiful sunrise".

Here is the title track to my new, and developing CD, "a beautiful sunrise".

This music began to flow over Thanksgiving holiday, of which I am grateful.  

Let's enjoy the journey into the new CD. To hear the song please click here to visit my website.

a beautiful sunrise

Here is my heart, here is my voice

Here is my light and here is my choice

Here is my hand and here is my best

Here is my shoulder when you need a rest

Here is the moon and here is the sun

Here is the radiance in everyone

Here spreading our wings and the Earth now sings

We are coming home

Oh, it's a beautiful sunrise

Let's lift each other now

Let's lift each other now

Let's lift each other now out of the darkness

Oh it's a beautiful soul-rise

Let's lift each other now

Let's lift each other now

Let's lift each other now out of the ignorance

Here is the rock and here is the roll

Here is the journey and here is the soul

Here is the healing and here is the grace

Here is the rising of the human race

Here is forgiveness and here is release

Here is the unity and here is the peace

Here without judgment in unconditional love

Witness the splendor steaming from above

Rise up, Rise up, let your spirit soar

Rise Up. Rise Up. Let's get it brighter than it's ever been before

Rise Up. Rise Up. Helping those in need

Rise Up. Rise Up. Being compassion until every soul is freed

Oh, it's a beautiful sunrise

Let's lift each other now

Let's lift each other now

Let's lift each other now into salvation

I can see the fire burning in your eyes

We can see the fire burning in your eyes

Richard Norman Schooping, 2010

Nothing to fix but the concept of "fixing" itself.

At one moment as a society we are going to laugh so hard because we have been conned so well! 
It is so simple to convince people that they need something that they truly don't, and then charge them for it... 

What an amazing game! 

But are we ready for more than this game?

So to be free of this looping stratagem begin to more and more realize what you really don't need, and then what health insurance is needed? What prescriptions are needed? How many things are needed? How many less bills?  

Cable will never be able to replace the splendor of nature. 

You will discover now that you need less and less as you listen to your heart because the heart is whole, yet the mind is not.  The mind is attracted like a moth to light bulbs and it will continually seek its own peace in more and more things until it is overloaded and exhausted. Because ultimately these things do not bring true peace, only more and more things to support and worry about. Yes, these things will bring a transitory emotion of happiness but this is more comparable to a drug addiction than lasting happiness. 

And we are then in a loop of needing to keep the high going or we become depressed.

All is well until we are told it is not. Meditate on that. 

Today we are arguing over a ghost of concerns while the matrix continues.  And nothing then changes in the matrix because we are only concerned with the ghost. This ghost being a form of collective hypnotism. And we each then perpetuate the matrix as the ghost bounces from one soul/cell to the next.

But do we really need to fix eternal awareness? Is this possible? No, awareness is unaffected by the world of things.  Awareness is free as what it is, awareness.  But we can easily insure a reflection of awareness because that relative reflection thinks it is less than perfect, and so it does need fixing. 

Know that what you believe now creates your experience.  And the choices that you make stem from your beliefs. And so understanding your beliefs is critical in transcending the relative matrix of the mind.  

Yes the body now needs many things, and this is because it thinks that this is what we want to now experience. Our beliefs have asked and now we receive. 

We simply require medications because our beliefs of limitation program us to be sick.

We think we are sick and so we need medications for this thinking - simple!

So let us continue to neutrally observe our experience so that we can continue to discover and surrender our limiting beliefs.

Realize that there is nothing here to fix but the concept of fixing itself.

11-24-10 a poem

Hands delve deep into the heart 

Grasping angel's wings 

Now catapulted up into the inner-stars 

As eternity explodes in our eyes 

And worlds ring out like stones dancing across the water

We are Capable

Because This is happening, we are capable of handling it.

Release the rope

 

 

When we release the rope there is no more tug-of-war.

 

 

 

Senseless

This isn't supposed to make sense.

Focus on the heart

The more we focus on our pain the more painful it is. 

 

Let what arises arise and continue focusing on the heart.

Joy begets joy

Joy Begets Joy

Learn from your suffering

Don't condemn your suffering, learn from it. 

   

Let it now be your teacher pointing you within so that you may discover the root of your dis-ease. 

The less judgement, the more effortlessly we see the soul.

Acceptance

Nothing is ever "finished" concerning spiritual growth. 

We simply learn to nakedly experience the experience that is happening now.

 

 

And in this way we are not limited by beliefs.

We are open to any potential that Love blesses upon us.

 

The heart IS.

 

Realize that WAR is happening within our aWAReness,

just as the words above reveal.

War is actually within the word aware.

And so all wars are cradled in love's awareness.

So now ask yourself, "Who is aware of war?

Who is observing war through these eyes?"

This is the greatest discovery to realize one's awareness.

Revealing that ultimately our awareness is not affected by war or any changing form of nature.

We are more.

 

Yes our bodies are subject to the shifting winds of time like the waves of the ocean molested by the wind. 

 

But no matter how intense the storm,

 

it is the one ocean throughout all of its expressions.

Relax my loves, there is nothing to fear. 

Fear is simply the mind labeling what it does not understand and this is OK.

We don't have to understand everything to be here now experiencing this.

Life is happening no matter what we think about it. 

Today let everything be just as it is so that you may now disentangle from your thoughts and know peace.

We are only arguing over what was.

But the heart is not dependent on what was.

The Heart IS.

 

Pause before you strike

Pause before you strike because what you "hit" eventually hits back.

Cherish this moment with all of your heart.

At any moment life could change. 

So let the fears and worries born of yesterday go so that you don't miss the wonder that is now.

Cherish this moment with all of your heart and love is now here being through you. 

All forms change, including mountains, relationships, oceans, and more. 

Nature is in constant flux. 

But remember, 

that no matter what changes occur, 

we are each the children of an eternal God that knows what it is doing. 

 

Amazing Grace

Simply, Love

Simply LOVE in whatever way you understand. 
No more pressure. 
No more stories of should or shouldn't, or beliefs telling you how to love. 
Love because this is who you are, and the more that you love the brighter you radiate. 
We are love, so don't work at this. 
Love, and life will continue to bring you more to love.

Ever so softly now

Fearlessly tread ever so softly now.

What we own actually owns us.

A simple and powerful practice is to go through a drawer, a cabinet, or a closet and simply surrender and donate what you don't consistently consume, read, wear, or use. 

(Do you feel the unease within when you observe this?)

It is "so" freeing to let things go because though we may not realize this, what we own actually owns us. 

Cherish Life

Remember as the day unfolds that everything we are now experiencing "is" a miracle. So cherish life, the Earth, and everyone and everything upon it. And through this practice we will continue to surrender the past so as to now fully embrace the present moment.

Selling is selling, no matter how "spiritual" it seems.

Selling is selling, no matter how "spiritual" it may seem. 

Be mindful of the New Age market that is claiming it can "fix" you with pills and salves and retreats and... That is their trip, because only YOU can discover the pearl in your heart. 


So in these shifting times when money is tight practice looking to yourself for your solutions and life will then cost just a little less. ♥

We are ALL in this Together

When you take others into consideration concerning your offerings to the world, 
you are now honoring God - the ONE. 

There is not one action that is isolated. 

You may think that you are doing something only for you, but this is illusion. 

We are all in THIS together. ♥

We Are ALL Divinity - Richard Schooping

Realize that we are here now. And that our friends and our family are not just definitions and labels for the mind, they are divinity. 

We are all divinity. 

And the more that we surrender lesser ideas the more we now embrace the one family of God we are. Love each without judgment or comparison and feel the presence of love lift your heart into the glory of being. richard schooping

Richard Schooping - Heart Bloom

God is LOVE

Let everything be just as it now is and the mind calms and love blooms in the heart.

Have a blessed and bountiful life my friends.

Richard Schooping - Before the Mirror

Until the mind stops "trying" to be God, 

the one true God is hidden.

The Perfect Road Home

Ponder on this: 


If we are born of perfection, does it not make sense that the road back to perfection is perfect? Realize that no matter what happens (though not always understood as such) that this IS for our greater good.

Richard Schooping Sings "My Soul Remembers"

Sunday morning service at Detroit Unity Temple I sang Daniel Nahmod's amazing song, "My Soul Remembers." I was honored to sing, and the love and joy before, during, and after the service was such a blessing.  I know that the quality of the recording is medium, and that the mic I was using was not omni-directional, but hey, it is what it is.  

Thank you and have an amazing day!
