And the Cosmos Echos the Cry, Oneness…

How strong the ego has become these many millennia. We’ve become so enchained by its presence that we have forgotten our true self. This is madness.

I draw your attention to a quote I found in today’s New York Times. The article entitled “Sizing Up Obama, in Real Life” takes the reader on the President’s visit to Edison, NJ, a hub of working class, middle class America. A quote from a local police lieutenant sums up the ignorance and ego-centric attitude living in all of us today.

“Maybe he’s not a true socialist, but his ideals and ideas are — this kumbaya thing where everyone gets the same health care and the same benefits. And most of the health care is going to go to immigrants. Well, the country wasn’t built that way.”

Wow, that kind of sums it up for us all. Are we that void of love, compassion and human kindness. Is it just all about me? Do you think Thomas Jefferson would agree with that man? Hmm!

Imagine walking down the street and passing a homeless person. As we pass a voice calls out, ‘I am God.’ We turn to see only the homeless person before us and wonder where that voice could have come from. We ask, ‘did you say something’ and the homeless person replies ‘yes, I said I am God.’ A chuckle stirs from behind our breath and we stand amazed at the audacity of this misfortuned being. No sooner do we begin to utter our disapproval at this heresy does this being begin to glow with a golden aura. At once we notice a transformation both in him and in our self. Our ignorance mind sees through the veil and becomes enlightened and our recognition of this absolute truth becomes evident.

Now this allegory seems simplistic I know, but there is truth behind these words. If we could just immerse ourselves in the void for just a dot of time we would sense the realness of Divine Oneness.

Among my favorite passages from “Letters” is one in Letter Fourteen “Sides of Oneness.” I bring it back to you now. Meditate on it a while. It holds a knowing that can help make you free.

“Sometimes, when I wake up in the middle of the night, I feel very much alone, like there is no God, no spirit, no nothing! It’s just me lying there, totally alone in the universe. I try to reach out to God or some spiritual essence, and I get nothing in response. I have to ask you, because you seem like someone who might have an answer. Why do many of us feel so lost and alone, even after a lifetime of seeking? Why would God, if God even exists, leave us feeling this way, without any direct communication? If God exists, why don’t we know it, constantly? Why don’t we really know when we really need to?”

We Come to Earth Bearing a Gift

As we enter the physical realm from the souls world we bring with us a special gift to present to mother earth. This gift we bring is different for each of us, as we are individual souls and each of us has a singular essence. We are aware of this gift before the veil of forgetfulness clouds our minds and this gift seems lost forever, but deep within our physical body, in the center of the jewel that is our true essence, we know. The closer we get to awakening the more the heart cries for this gift, this awareness, to come into the light. Yet our poor egos cry out, ‘no this can never be.’ This child that we placate, and spoil and cherish, this little self of nothingness, begs for life as we move into a new state of understanding. But shining deep with our being lies this jewel of [Oneness.] As we awaken to a greater knowing this jewel shines brighter and the gift we carried on our journey becomes more apparent. It is the power of [Oneness] through the hearts of many. It is an energy so bold that it radiates beyond the cosmos into Source itself. This is our gift. It is there in every iota of life. It is time to open your conscious awareness and present your gift. The earth is waiting.

I would like to give a nod today to Ms Shannon Dunn joining the resonance from the other side of the planet, in New Zealand. You can journey through her blog ShannonDunn.com which is dedicated to better living through a more balanced state of being.

We are traveling in Vermont this week and enjoying the freedom that emanates through the soul of this state. Vermont is truly blessed to have continued the message our Founding Fathers had intended us to live by. Thank you Vermont. We salute you.

Letter Seventeen “Three More Suggestions”

At this point I hope that some or all of you have a copy of the book. It has been great as a meditation for me and as I see the world turning upside down I turn to its pages on a daily basis. Here are some words from Letter Seventeen “Three More Suggestions” which is a reminder of the process by which I can keep my being at peace and my consciousness expanded.

“Several letters ago, you gave me three suggestions for living through the Great Storm. Can you give me any more?”

Here are three more suggestions, which are follow-ups to each of the three I started with:

1) As you improve your capacity to actively notice what you are feeling and thinking, and what is happening around you, turn that noticing into the expansion of awareness. Invite into your being a new openness and allowing that will begin to dissolve barriers around the little self. The focus of this is the release of your identity with form, and that which is separate from the Cosmos.

One Nation, Independent through Conscious Evolution

It is July 3rd and I woke today to a [magic in the air.] I don’t know if it is the collective soul of the country, as we near our anniversary of independence… then again, I know it is. For I feel it is this Soul of our nation that is crying for clarity. This independence that has been our label for two plus centuries is mired in the present attitude of ignorance and power. There was oneness, at a time, that cried out among us. The strength of many through the wholeness of one force, one direction, that believed in an idea. An idea so proud that we had not seen it’s presence upon earth in our many lifetimes before. This is our spiritual Soul-ness, our higher intention that guides us here.

Now we are approaching the grand turn in our destiny. This movement of consciousness started back when men and women strived for greatness in thought and a heart filled with appreciation. The pride that was our founders lives in the light that guides our inner most dreams. The dream of being one with the planet and the system that it is a part of. The dream of a galaxy filled with wonders of exploration and a universe filled with dimensions we have yet to traverse. Here lies the idea of a new, evolved humankind.

There is surely a thread that ties us together. A Golden thread, that shimmers so subtle through our being we can only feel its resonance. And yet we stand dumb to accepting what will surely be. We cannot change the destiny that is before us. It is of cosmic making and we are merely the pieces on the board. We can wake to its knowing and become part of it or we can sleep in our uncomfortable egos and get lost along the way. Is this what our founders had in mind? Are we a sleeping nation, unaware of the greatness that lies ahead?

So let us wake tomorrow with a new voice. One of gratitude for the light that has been past down to us. Appreciation of who we are and where we are headed. For we cannot stop the evolution from happening. It is upon us and as strong as ever. We can ignore it for the sake of our own single needs and wants. But this thing that is so great, so much bigger than all that surrounds us, is a force that will push all that self serving aside. It will annihilate the foolish ego minds and present us with an idea that is beyond our imagination. And yet, those who imagine it will make it so.
