Richard Lawrence is the Executive Secretary of The Aetherius Society for Europe and Africa, which is the oldest UFO contacts organizations in Britain, and possibly the world. He is also a Bishop in The Aetherius Churches. Richard has devoted his life to the work of his late master and personal friend, Dr George King (1919-1997) - founder of the Society - with whom he co-authored Contacts with the Gods from Space.
Listen to the song I wrote after being inspired by my conversation with Richard called 'Hymn for the Blessings' and all the other Podsongs
Lyrics to the song that was inspired by the interview:
HYMN OF THE BLESSINGS
VERSE 1
G C D G
Blessed are they who work for peace
G C D G
They sacrifice their bliss so that we can exist
Em C D G
Their unselfish actions never cease
G C D G
Blessed are they who work for peace
VERSE 2
Blessed are the wise ones for spreading their light
Who went deep within and found the peace therein
But sacrificed it all to help us through the night
Blessed are the wise ones for spreading their light
VERSE 3
Blessed in the now are they who love
With love for their brothers they live for others
They know that it's God that we're all part of
Blessed in the now are they who love
VERSE 4
Blessed are the planetary ones
Who left behind their homes to come here alone
They walk unsung in silence, shine like brilliant suns
Blessed are the planetary ones
VERSE 5
Blessed are the thanksgivers they turn great tides
They expended energy so that they can see
They send love to the Devas and they bridge the divides
Blessed are the thanksgivers they turn great tides
VERSE 6
Blessed are the healers in these days of pain
Who lay their hand upon the brow of fevered brothers
The universal power flows through their veins
Blessed are the healers in these days of pain
VERSE 7
Blessed is the Mother Earth
Who refused to advance so we'd have refuge
A material form hides her real worth
Blessed is the Mother Earth
VERSE 8
Blessed is the Mighty Sun
The closest thing to God in our solar system
Gives of itself so that we can live on
Blessed is the Mighty Sun
VERSE 9
Blessed are the Supreme Lords of Karma
Who implement the holy laws that guide our return
Watching over lifestreams and trillions of dramas
Blessed are the Supreme Lords of Karma
VERSE 10
Blessed is this great being the Galaxy
Inside its body, even worlds evolve
Who cast off its crown so that we can live free
Blessed is the great being the Galaxy
VERSE 11
Blessed are the Supreme Lords of Creation
The great and mighty hands of almighty God
Even the suns lack have the comprehension
Blessed are the Supreme Lords of Creation
VERSE 12
Blessed is the Absolute
Blessed in the immobility of its silent self
Blessed in the glory of its manifestations
Blessed is the Absolute
VERSE 13
Blessed is the Master Jesus
Who devoted his life to helping us all
He walked alone in simplicity among us
Blessed is the Master Jesus
VERSE 14
Blessed is His Eminence Sir George King
Who served as a channel for divine wisdom
And saved us from destruction countless times
Blessed is His Eminence Sir George King
