the good shepherd - norral - 01-03-2010 as ive been reading a lot of posts and articles on the site one thought keeps coming back to me, the good shepherd. the vibration im getting is that i want to be a good shepherd for those involved in my life. of course every shepherd has a flock so who is my flock. well my wife my children our grandchildren is my immediate flock, then friends of the family people i work with people i run into in daily life, actually every person we run into could be perceived as our flock. and what is it that a shepherd does, they protect and love their flock. when christ spoke to peter he asked him 3 times peter, lovest thou me finally peter said to him, lord thou knowest i love thee then christ said to him if you love me feed my lambs and feed my sheep. thruout the bible there are many references to shepherds and flocks . king david was a shepherd boy and when he went to fight the giant goliath and they offered him armor he refused it. he said the same God who protects me from the lion and the wolf and the bear shall protect me from this giant and guess who won that one lol. the point im making is that from reading here on the site im inspired to be a better shepherd in my life and to view each encounter i have with my fellow human beings as an opportunity to act as a shepherd, to put the welfare of others above my own. just thought i'd share whats running thru my heart ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() RE: the good shepherd - Light seeker - 01-03-2010 Dear norral, I have been experiencing that same thought pattern as yours. As I see it, you're taking on consciously this fourth density work of being like a shepherd for others. Your inner self has chosen this beautiful metaphor of a shepherd; in my case, a lighthouse is the image that comes to my mind, which plays a similar function of being of guidance, protection and care to others. Be sure that every new person that comes into your life needs your guidance and that you are a shepherd for them in one form or another, in the same way that they are of guidance for you. But being totally conscious in your inner self of that task adds an exciting, magical and challenging new element to this interaction with others. Enjoy your shepherd work!

Quote:65.12 Don: Then each of the Wanderers here acts as a function of the biases he has developed in any way he sees fit to communicate or simply be in his polarity to aid the total consciousness of the planet. Is there any physical way in which he aids, perhaps by his vibrations somehow just adding to the planet just as electrical polarity or charging a battery? Does that also aid the planet, just the physical presence of the Wanderers?

Dear Peregrinus thanks for sharing that. its nice to know that being a shepherd is one of the basic functions of being a wanderer. what got me when i first came here was the statements " you are loved and you are not alone" ive been to many sites and some may have even stated something somewhat similar to that but here u can feel the love jumping off of the page at you. peace and love to you my brother ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() RE: the good shepherd - Peregrinus - 01-04-2010 I agree dearest brother, I wholeheartedly agree. The vibration of this site is such that it might work even if one wasn't connected to the internet ![]() RE: the good shepherd - Light seeker - 01-04-2010 Peregrinus, You couldn't have found a better quote from the Ra Material to illustrate the ideas of this thread. Thanks for quoting! RE: the good shepherd - Peregrinus - 01-04-2010 You are most welcome brother, but it was of little work to find. If one searches for the term shepherd, there are but two instances in the entire LOO. Any credit due should be directed at Carla, Don, and Jim ![]() RE: the good shepherd - Questioner - 01-05-2010 Thanks to each of you for your focus on sharing the Creator's light and love with those who need comfort and guidance. This thread is a marvelous example of warm, open-hearted service at a time I needed to find just such an example of service in action. |
