Today Christian traditions celebrate Palm Sunday. So you may wonder why this song is about time and based on Ecclesiastes 3. In short, it’s because Jesus experienced good times and bad times, just like the rest of us. What’s more, his personal ego didn’t like the bad ones – but he didn’t let that overpower him.
Matthew 26:39* reads: He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire.”
Please enjoy the beauty and joy of Palm Sunday, when crowds welcomed Jesus. As Holy Week unfolds, may your contemplations center around the Presence and Will of God in all things. No matter what we’re experiencing, we are never separate from God. He knows the purpose for our lives and is there through and in everything.

So It Goes – Lyrics
Instrument: Tempo – Seagull Excursion Folk Acoustic Guitar
Refrain 1:
For everything there is a season,
A time to tear, a time to sew.
We may not understand the reason.
Even so, the Father knows.
And so it goes.
1. There’s a time to birth and plant,
And a time to die and pluck.
There’s a season to break down,
And a time for building up.
Refrain 2:
For everything there is a season,
A time to tear, a time to sew.
We may not understand the reason.
Even so, the Father knows.
Things come and go, to and fro,
By ebb and flow, they change and grow,
So it goes.
2. There’s a time to dance and laugh,
And a time to mourn and weep.
There’s a season to keep still,
And a perfect time to speak.
Refrain 2:
3. There’s a time to gather stones,
And a time to cast away.
There’s a season to let go,
And a time we may embrace.

One Life, My Life – Lyrics
Instrument: Concert Viola
1. There is one River
There is one Life
There is one Spirit
Rippling through time.
I am that River
I am that Life
It is my Spirit
Waiting to shine.
2. From in the darkness
The Light appears
The Dawn absorbing
All stress and fears.
Accepting good now
My Mind is bright
May I be fruitful
In Love and Light.
3. I thank the Spirit
Who dwells in me
For this anointing
That sets me free.
I am the River
I am the Life
Christ Mind is in me
Rippling through time.
Amen.
In Metaphysics we emphasize baptism from within. St. Paul wrote, “Let the mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus.” This Christ-conscious Mind baptizes the conscious, human mind.
As with communion, this baptism can and should take place anywhere, at any moment. Many Metaphysical/mystical traditions forgo specific (water) baptism and communion ceremonies for this reason. Still others offer them, particularly in a church or spiritual center.
Keep in mind as the Easter season approaches, that baptism and communion ceremonies are symbolic only. The ceremony itself does not confer anything. It is the inner work , the Spirit rather than the letter of the law, that is celebrated. You don’t need a ceremony or clergy member for this. Having a ceremony is not wrong – Jesus allowed John to baptize him in water (Matthew 3:13-17).
The following, Aquarian Gospel 64:1-10, also recounts this situation:
Jesus’ witnesses about John
“The news reached Galilee, and Jesus with the multitude went down to where the harbinger was preaching at the ford. When Jesus saw the harbinger he said, Behold the man of God! Behold the greatest of the seers! Behold, Elijah has returned! Behold the messenger whom God has sent to open up the way! The kingdom is at hand”
John witnesses about Jesus
“When John saw Jesus standing with the throng he said, Behold the king who cometh in the name of God!”
Baptism
“And Jesus said to John, I would be washed in water as a symbol of the cleansing of the soul. And John replied, you do not need to wash, for you are pure in thought, and word, and deed. And if you need to wash I am not worthy to perform the rite. And Jesus said, I come to be a pattern for the sons of men, and what I bid them do, that I must do; and all men must be washed, symbolic of the cleansing of the soul. This washing we establish as a rite–baptism rite we call it now, and so it shall be called. Your work, prophetic harbinger, is to prepare the way, and to reveal the hidden things. The multitudes are ready for the words of life, and I come to be made known by you to all the world, as prophet of the Triune God, and as the chosen one to manifest the Christ to men”
Jesus did teach water baptism. However, the water baptism alone will not make you more spiritual or aware, without your own inner connection to God – “the cleansing of the soul.”
please enjoy this baptism song. It’s self-explanatory, but those new to this mystical view may find the above ideas helpful.
Refrain:
In the Light of Christ,
You are baptized in that River
Of healing, loving Truth.
You are born again
From within by the Water
Of God who lives in you.
1. No, it’s not the Jordan.
Bless-ed even so!
This River is within you,
Closer than you know!
Refrain:
2. You’re the Father’s Child,
Equal to the Son.
Meet and love and trust Him,
Knowing you are One.
Refrain:
3. Bathe in living Water
Every single day.
Find Its Source within you;
Meditate and pray.

1. Shoes are made for business, dressing up and going places.
Some for playing sports, heavy work, and running races.
Problems seem to come when we fray and cut the laces
Of the shoes we think God wears.
Refrain:
2. Look at all the sizes, the styles and the shapes!
And There’s demand for every shoe they make.
Yet we judge the worth and the right to display
The different shoes we think God wears.
Refrain: (Twice)
That’s why there are many parts of the One.
Every soul is God’s, and He knows the path they’re on.
Refrain:
Remember, God has more shoes than [last time: just] yours.
You can’t fill them all, of course.
That’s why there are many parts of the One.
Every soul is God’s, and He knows the path they’re on.
This is a deceptively fast song, but don’t let that fool you. You can experience the Universe – the awareness of God – in meditation. God is the Universe, and God is You in the highest reality. The song can be a reminder, but nothing can replace your own experience of the God-Presence within.
Universe in You – Lyrics
Instrument: Tempo – Seagull Excursion Folk Acoustic Guitar
Refrain:
Touch the clouds, touch the sky,
Touch the sun as it shines,
Touch the moon in your mind, and you’ll find
It’s true: There’s a Universe in you!
1. There are stars in the dark,
Candles making a spark;
You are here for a part:
The desire in your heart!
Refrain:
2. Ever new things unveiled,
People blazing a trail;
And the Truth does prevail:
It’s the wind in your sails!
Refrain:
3. There is midnight in day,
There’s a Will and a Way;
You are Light on display:
Show the Love that creates!
Refrain: (Twice)
True…
That the Universe is You!

1. We give thanks for all the things we are and have and do.
Yet when we have nothing, we can still give thanks in Truth,
‘Cause we are Life and Love, and our existance is just proof.
Refrain:
2. If a Force created us, It must have had a plan.
If it were destruction, then why are we still at hand?
It’s God creating lovingly each woman, child and man.
Refrain:
3. We are here by God’s design, expressing all He is.
Who we are is really part of one eternal bliss.
Minds and bodies change and grow, but souls live on in Him.
Refrain: (Twice)
Refrain:
Everything we are, we are,
Because of who God is.
Everything we have, we have,
Because He is the gift.
Everything we do, we do,
Because He is our breath.
And so we give our thanks to God,
Who in us loves and dwells.

1. Play your guitar now.
Fit it in somehow.
Let the music flow,
The upbeat and the slow,
Because you can’t take it with you when you go.
2. Hug your people now.
Take the time somehow.
Let affection flow,
Deepest feeling show,
Because you can’t take ’em with you when you go.
We are one in spirit, heart and mind.
So you know there’s reason and there’s rhyme
For the lives we live
And those we come to know.
So find out what it is,
And make your living so,
Because you can’t take ’em with you when you go.
3. Clear your clutter now,
All the fears and all the doubts.
Let your knowing flow,
Keep your light aglow,
Deepest feeling show,
The upbeat and the slow,
Because you can’t take ’em with you when you go.
You are eternal, and this you gotta know.
So live your life sincere, and let your wings unfold,
‘Cause the Spirit is within you,
And It’s all you’re takin’ with you
In your soul.
Yeah, you take that Spirit with you,
And that’s all you’re takin’ with you when you go.
