786…God showed up! part 2
St. James and sufi at Wawa free hoagie day in phily
Love is the ONLY power in the UNI-verse!!! God exist as your True Self. Find, Know and ultimately BE this True Self. my life is becoming heaven on earth. eye only meet beings of light. there is NO darkness in eye CIPHER. this week eye was blessed to meet St. James. eye went with my class to free hoagie day at independence plaza in phily on a field trip tuesday. while siting on the park bench eye noticed a gentlemen collecting water bottles and pouring them on the plants. as eye observed him, eye thought to eye self, this man is a saint. when he came by my bench to pour water on the plants eye asked him “what is your name my man, and what made you want to pour water on the plants today?” he stopped, slowly turned to me , smiled and said ” my name is St. James. I AM a disciple of Jesus Christ. it is a shame that these people are wasting all of this water. so I decided to collect it, and water the plants today.”
after that eye sat and talked with St. James about Jesus, God and how to be a true disciple. he said so many profound things that where amazing. one of the things he said was “God has many names. Muslims call Him Allah. Jamaicans call Him Ja, and my favorite is a Jewish name, Yahweh.” I asked him how did u become a saint . he said “I was born this way. my birthday is Dec, 23rd, two days before the birth of Christ.” he also said that his grandmother was named Marry and his grandfather was names Joseph.
his energy was pure. eye could feel and see the LOVE of GOD in and on him. eye felt like eye was in the presence of a true saint. strangely enough St. James said that he lived in a home for mental patients and that his roommate was really crazy. he could not figure out why his roommate had so much hate and anger in a world full of God’s love and beauty. when he said this, it made me think, this man is not crazy, he is more sane than the avg. person. it is said in the circle of knowers “in an insane society, (and we do live in an insane society) one must appear insane in order to be sane.” at the end of our conversation eye asked him to pray for me. he said “God is going to bless you.” eye smiled and said ” HE just blessed me.”

“living in the light of love” – That brings it to the essence! Thanks for sharing this beautiful experience.
What an Amazing experience. You were Truley Blessed that day. As strange as it may seem, most of my Professional ,Educational training has been with the mentally ill, predominatley adults, in the hospital on the pych.ward, or in adult out patient clinic. My experiences with these different classifications of people with a mental D/O according to the DSM4 criteria has lead me to discover that most of these patients that eye serviced very highly intelligent, well educated, and had much more education and credentials than eye did. Irony, we can learn from anyone, does’nt matter what their social status is, where they live temporaly. Lyfe has it’s struggles , and ,Even with all the credentials, educational training, employability skills I posses, I struggle with Depression, Anxiety, & PNES w/ Aphasia. Allah words reminds me that he has not forgotten me, his Surahs, & Ayats give me strength , and courage to continue to fight ,and improve where eye may be slacking. Jazakallah*) Embracing Tha Luv Lite !
