Falling in Love with the Divine

Man is really funny. He likes complexity. If a veil is not wrapped around truth, he is uninterested. He does not want to take only one step; it is more interesting to look forward to millions of steps. We are like children playing thousands of times in a maze. We want to know what real love is, what truth is but generally speaking most seekers like the maze. That is why the mystics and the sages made the greatest truths a mystery, to be given only to the few who were ready for them, letting the others play because it was the time for them to play.

Many seekers look for phenomena; many of them want wonder working and communication with entities on the other side who they assume must know more than they do. They are looking for something complex, and yet the simplest things and the most valuable things in life are to be found in one's true Self.

Some people feel that the more mysterious and complicated written material is the more esoteric...it must be, right? They judge that if they do not understand it, they must not be enlightened. Or, if they do understand it better than others, they may judge themselves as being enlightened. This is foolishness because the greatest masters and teachers do their best to speak plainly and to the point.

If you are like I am, you desire to understand words of wisdom. Don't make it more complicated than the author intended it to be. Better yet, please do not compete with others in your attempt to understand the message. Enlightenment is not an intellectual exercise. Buried in the layers of matter lives a spirit, a spark, an indescribable, all-knowing, all-powerful being...the Divine. Who we are is not meant to be a mystery; it is meant to be known and lived. We are it. It is not necessary to seek phenomena or gifts. When we fall in love with the Divine, the sublime naturally appears in our lives.

If you passionately desire to be who you really are, the higher Self responds. In the face of such a desire, everything else is erased if we let it go. There is only the decision and the desire we have made today to live in the fullness of who we are and manifest a greater reality. On the computer, we delete that which is no longer beneficial. The same thing happens to us when we make a decision to accept our spiritual identity. A conscious intimacy with our eternal Self can be a relationship that gradually unfolds or it can occur over night.

Looking back over my life, I realized that falling in love with the Divine is built on trust. It is very similar to a physical love relationship if it is a true union. The relationship evolves through an interaction between two people or forces that are attracted to one another. In the case of soul evolution, it is spiritual living in action. The relationship far transcends the intellect. Our spirit identity and expressing it fully becomes a reason for living. Love is the motivating force in experiencing a higher consciousness. Books and workshops won't do it although they are a tremendous support to us at times. God Realization is a giant leap beyond outward tools.

To be one's true Self is to be alive in the deepest meaning of the word. It is a never ending blessing. Fall in love with the real you, the real that is in everyone and everything sometimes hidden and sometimes exposed. Unveil it and BE yourself. The awesome power of your inner spirit is unraveled and the grace and glorious gift of oneness is consciously yours. Do yourself a favor. Don't make the journey difficult. Simply accept and love the light of who you are. Your consciousness is needed. It is time for us to do the Great Work in love and in truth.

In harmony,

Who Are You?

The present era makes the link between the Piscean Era, now drawing to its close and the Age of Aquarius which is dawning. The constellation of Aquarius has been sending its rays and the vibrations of its wavelength have inspired, prepared and encouraged those of us who love the Absolute and desire to serve life. A whole new science with its accompanying methods and techniques is necessary to face up to the upheavals which are the inevitable accompaniment of the birth of a new era. The science is actually ancient and only appears new to those who have temporarily forgotten their spiritual identity and purpose. When I write or share regarding the return of the Light of God to earth, it comes from an ongoing firsthand experience in which my consciousness is aligned with a field of intelligence of a Higher Order. I know we can be whole again regardless of the appearances or the drama being created all over the earth.

Long ago, I chose the regenerative drama that takes place within self. It is inner nourishment and the possibilities are endless. The mind is the bridge that connects the created physical world with the higher celestial creative world of Light. In ancient days, truth referred to as the "mysteries" remained hidden except for the few because the collective consciousness was not ready to receive and understand. Although appearances are frequently bleak, we are collectively evolving towards a state of being where beauty and harmony will be experienced. There is an intelligent and perfect plan. Many years ago, I was blessed with a symbolic vision, which took form as a gigantic puzzle composed of dazzling White Light. The vision hovering in the air generated pure particles of subtle celestial energy. I watched in amazement as the various pieces of spirit luminosity gradually moved together to create a masterpiece representing the order of God's design and our destiny as enlightened beings. There is a higher plan for God's children, although it is rarely seen or understood through the physical senses. It is glimpsed and known as a direct intuitive experience.

I invite you to join me once a week as I share both sides of our nature, human and divine. Would you like to know what your spirit, your Higher Self, looks like? When you are ready, you will meet it face to face. It will happen in an unexpected moment. The first time I caught a glimpse of my true identity was thirty-eight years ago. I was sitting alone at the dining room table reading the morning newspaper . I became aware of a presence looking at me. To my surprise, an exquisite female stood before me in dazzling white light. She had a crown of diamonds on her head. Everything about her was radiant and glistening with eternal beauty, even her eyelashes. In awe, I asked, "Who are you?" Divinity answered, "I am you."

The spirit, the Higher Self, is the real you. Everyone has one. It is spirit hidden in form. It is our responsibility to manifest it in our mind, emotions and physical body. An intense love, trust and desire for the Good is necessary in order to be free. Why not expand your awareness and enjoy
the beauty, luster and divinity of who you really are? St. Paul, in the Epistle to the Corinthians, confirmed this truth in his statement, "There is a natural body and a spiritual body." As we travel in our journey of light, we support and give a much needed hope to each other and the world.

In joy and love,

Creativity and Weaving

The Ancient Mystery Schools had one precept inscribed above their portals: "Know thyself and Thou Shall Know the Universe!" We are the keepers and the writers of our own destiny. We weave our days and nights like a web through our thoughts, feelings and actions. Friends who have chosen to link their light with the Circle of Light are for the most part working for the unity of the whole world, for the collectivity so that there will be no more wars, no more misery...working with hope in our hearts for an Age of Light~

To work effectively, a special quality is required, which is total unselfishness. Yes, wisdom knowledge, love and understanding are also necessary and self-control desirable. Most of us have been on the 'path' for a very long time. Now it is time to be calm and spread and concretize all that we have learned. We are grateful for what we have discovered and remembered even when nothing has happened. Why? We are thankful for the spiritual level we have reached and to be here on earth during this auspicious time in soul evolution. Although we are still spiritually evolving, we are doing our best to spread true and unselfish love, the love that created and will renew the whole of humanity. And with increasing hope and determination, we are creating and weaving a new life that is expanding our consciousness, which leads to finer areas and dimensions where we can find inspiration for our future actions.

And as we are filled with love, let us remember to forgive ourselves and others to be free. If all humans were spiritually enlightened, there would be no crimes against life. The great truth of who we are unfolds as our consciousness expands. Because of the heightened energy available to us during this new cycle, healing personality issues may be the most challenging part of the journey. When more souls grasp the truth of inner worthiness and it takes hold in imagination and remains a steady part of the personal image, they will identity with honoring life.

Loving one's Self, the spirit within, is part of the process, the giant personal step necessary to break the bondage that false beliefs have created. Boundaries are concepts, notions and erroneous programming. Many good souls remain living in a self-imposed prison. I remind us of this fact so we can accelerate our evolution and soul evolution and clear out the old patterns that no longer serve the new cycle that we are entering. People desire freedom. To attain the freedom we long for, there cannot be fear. Fear separates us from the Absolute, our Source. To be free, begin with trust and take a step into the Great Unknown. The Great Unknown is to know one's own immortality as pure conscious in a physical experience.
