LENT 2014 / DAY 9
During the last few days the ONE Pure Truth has been emerging and demonstrating Itself for me with crystal clarity as if It has set up a private stage showing just for me. And I am the only audience, the participator, the actor, the all in all. How do I know? Because I am seeing myself through the screening of something that is beyond me. I AM PRESENT in every playout!! I Am ALL of it as well. What a revelation!
A few years ago when I started reading "The Jeshua Letters" by Jayem I was immediately drawn to this guidance shared by Jeshua. It made for me a perfect prayer. What could be a more direct prayer than this?
"Ask, therefore,
not for salvation,
because your ideas of it
are distorted.
Ask, instead,
that you AWAKEN from every last trace of belief
that you have ever been separate from God.
This will focus the impetus of your soul
with right intention.
Since you receive what you ask for,
clarity of thought is essential
(Jeshua Letters)
It matters not how the lessons come for learning. What matters only is that the Essence of it is understood clearly. Everything is about clarity. To be crystal clear is to be transparent. To leave behind the stories, the drama, the unbeliefs, religion, people, a.k.a. the world, requires a deep sense of one's Self - the Self that Jeshua portrayed to perfection during his sojourn starting from his 40 days at the desert till the Resurrection. Not so much the 3 days suffering leading to his death, but the glory that He BECAME at the end of it.
I have a tree in front of my home. I call her Mystic. When I am sitting on my swing in the front porch, her trunk is hidden from my view because of the boundary wall in front of our home. All I get is a vision of her beautiful green leaves shinning and glittering in the sparkling sun and the sky as the big backdrop falling like a curtain in the background!! What an incredible sight! But when I come out of my gate, I see her trunk to be not too big or strong, like, say, the old oak tree. Mystic's trunk is quite unattractive actually and she has a whole lot of cable wires wrapped around her and what not! But despite all of that unattractiveness on the surface, below at the ground level, her face is looking up to the sun and with her wide array of leaves she is simply majestic!!! Mystic's tree trunk reminds me of our human bodies and our human limitation on the surface, but my! oh! my! just let Spirit be the focus instead, and there is only glory to glory.
There is a Mystic Law, a Mystic Essence that runs through everything in Life. That Mystic Essence is All That Is. Its the sap, the honey, the life-giving Holy Breath that nurtures and sustains and runs through all sentient and insentient Beings. Its unexplainable and not comprehended by the human mind, because in truth there is NO human mind - there is only the ONE Divine Mind. This is what the demonstration of Jesus's Life means to me. The Holy Essence within Him is also in me. The human has to get this truly and deeply. And then the dream is shattered. You cannot be the same after that. Enlightenment and Awareness is not experienced the same way by everyone. Some see visions, some hear their inner voice more clearly, some just 'know' intuitively, etc. etc. I understand now I knew this always intuitively but was denying its existence simply because I wanted to be accepted and loved by the human condition that represents the world. The ego is not so interested in all this 'holy' stuff. It wants other 'finer' aspects of the world. It will befriend those who are more inclined to those things. And as I see it, the world of my illusions can never love me because it does not exist. Is that not why we suffer? We are expecting something that is non-existent to replace God? To become aware is to be truly understand that everything is perfect in its place be it the so-called suffering, disease, death or happiness, joy, abundance. These are all just words. At the final analysis words mean nothing. Only the Perfect and True Blissful Silence.
Spirit communicates through Perfect Silence. Here's a beautiful demonstration of this fact. Everything in Life is a demonstration of Spirit. Notice Nature and Creation and you will get the sense of this quiet communication.
Blessed Be.
Blessed Be.
