We are all called at some critical point to awaken to a new
way of living in full consciousness of our relationship with the divine image
that lives inside us every day and weaves both the light and darkness into
universe. When the student is ready, the teacher appears. And the
lessons are always about compassion, love, awareness, and mystery. I
often think that once the journey to union with God is finished, the infinite
journey in God begins. Life is like a grand role-playing game in which
consciousness is exploring itself through the act of creation. And we
are that consciousness and yet we are the creations as well. So life has
emerged from the realm of eternity and is now o the loose. This is an
exciting and dangerous concept. I heard the poet David Whyte once say,
"What is time but eternity living dangerously." And I also
read that, "Time is God's compassion for Chaos." I love both
of those quotes. They put eternal being into perspective if you meditate
on them.
I really believe that enlightened folks like Yehoshua (Jesus)
come along to show the possibilities of the race and to teach us to think
outside the box and to remember our divine inheritance as creative beings of
love. What's left after all that? To practice creating and
loving! Yeah!
