Slipping through the cracks... Monday, December 8, 2008

 

The intrinsic beauty bound up in every moment is what keeps this whole thing going.   It’s the substance that makes up the invisible.  It has always been this way so you can stop searching for anything more meaningful because it doesn’t exist.  The only thing you can search for is something you already know, otherwise you would never be able to recognize it when you found it.  The realization of this futility is the force that stops all movement within and connects us directly with the source.  The divine has no front or back, no up or down for it is all these and more.  We have come along in this continuum with a primary inclination to complicate everything even though we know the answer lies in simplicity.  In addition, we are most moved by the simple things in life, many of which are available not in the “fast lane” where the chaos takes place but by sitting idly, embraced by the creative spirit. 

 

Now understand me well-It is provided in the essence of things, that from any fruition of success, no matter what, shall come forth something to make a greater struggle necessary.     Walt Whitman

 

When you are the instrument of right action your true potential sees itself for a flash and in that sparkling moment there is a deep knowing that absolutely anything is possible.

You need to create a commitment about this and hold that as your intention.  Most other activities are a diversion from the serious work and by “serious” I refer to paying earnest attention.  There can be no greater joy than discovering who you are and that priceless reflection is our gift every moment on this plane, both  through the giving and the receiving. 

I certainly value the time afforded me to be tender and to look carefully without too much distraction.  I am so grateful for these blessings and so many more.  And you?

 

Even if you don’t pay much attention to the news these days your intuitive side must be telling you there is an urgent shift required.  It’s a feeling that comes from something larger.  It has its own unmistakeable momentum.

And out of this emerges a deeper sense of what must be done and while the fundamental fibre of this is common to everything each of us will discover what works uniquely well and that’s where you’ll find yourself.  It is always in the undoing that the greatest revelations present themselves and they only come uninvited when you are still.

All thinking is movement and the answer lies in the realm beyond movement so this must come to an end as well.   That very idea is totally scary for our controlling ego.  Yike!!

 

We all know that the answer lies in the unknown, yet we have been taught from childhood to fear the unknown and this has been going on forever it seems...hasn’t changed much.

 

So what’s the perfect set up for you?  How does it look?  How does it smell?  How does it feel?  Is it there where you are right now as you read this or is it somewhere else...walking along a beautiful beach in the tropics perhaps.  Be my guest!   Isn’t it absolutely incredible that we are able to imagine something and then create it.  What a power!  What a force!  What potential!

What will you do with it?

 

Step forward please that I may share a fragrant secret.

I wish to whisper it in your ear,

So that it rings clear especially to your heart.

Don’t be afraid of what must be said

For it was created just for you.

Receive it as you would a gift from someone you adore,

And hold it closely in your bosom where it will comfort and protect you forever more.

The words are simple really but do not get tangled in the net.

Instead, unbuckle the costume that covers you,

And release the gentle spirit which you are.

 

Step forward please that I may share a fragrant secret...

You make my heart sing, you make my spirit soar, but most of all,

You are the one I’ve been looking for.
