On being careful.
Wednesday, April 1, 2009
Doesn’t the word careful imply being full of care? Does that accurately describe you and your life, your approach to things? Does your reflection in the world touch your heart with care each moment you pay attention?
Once an error is realized one must shift and change direction or forever remain lost. This then becomes the darkness that obscures the light which beckons from beyond. We must reach out from within to catch the elusive truth as it flitters about like a magical butterfly, dipping and weaving in a most mesmerizing pattern. It cannot be contained.
This sacred jewel has been sent by the divine to teach us everything necessary to become whole. You cannot withdraw or retreat from this responsibility without somehow damaging the very fabric that holds you safe. Both the father and the mother of creation have united to give you breath and they patiently await your rebirth.
Their work is done and you are now the sole survivor chosen to make a difference. How will you respond, how will you paint the canvas which is your life?
One must ask these questions of oneself as though the answer was the key, otherwise confusion will prevail, indifference will control us and the love we came to witness will stay hidden...out of sight, out of touch.
You are mistaken if you think you came in order to receive for you embody all that ever was and ever will be. You are the final step. There is no switch to pull, no choice to be made, that’s all been done on your behalf. Yours is the task of giving and therein lies the joy. The divine provides the fertile soil, the pregnant seed, and the succulent fruit all in the same moment but you must cease to resist in order to receive the blessing. The banquet table has been prepared and all the guests assembled for your arrival. This is the moment you were born to see, this is the moment for which you were designed to touch, and when you do so with the benevolence which lies within your heart the trumpets will blow and the doves of peace and love will fill the heavens. This is the glorious celebration of life.
First you must give in to yourself, understand yourself, love yourself, for out of this will manifest the expression of the good which is required. Don’t wait to learn it, don’t wait to prepare for it because like any spirit it’s elusive nature waits for no one. This will bring the ultimate discovery that you must vanish in order to drink from the spring of the timeless. The confusion of life lies in the question, never in the answer so focus on yourself and gently let the divine take over and show you the way.
Release everything that holds you back and trust that you will remain safe. All the sacred libraries in the realm were created just for you and their pages lie within your heart. You need look no further than your own reflection and allow the butterfly of freedom to land upon your sleeve and out of this brilliance will emerge the chrysalis incarnate and the bliss that only you can give.
I am loving you right now,
Dr. John
