No One Needs To Wake Up But You!

Easter Sunday turned out to be so perfect. Unplanned and unexpected.  A couple of close friends spent the day with us and I have never spent a more chilled out and easy day than this.  I even got to talk with my very dear facebook friend Trish who has now become more like a sister to me, on skype and introduce my friends to her for the first time.  We all, including my husband, had a fun conversation with her. Everything about the day was so mystical and just flowed through in perfect love.  What a grand finale to the 40 days of Lenten observation.

I wondered on the eve of Easter how I would share all that I have observed and learned and re-learned during this phase. There was too much.  Many life changing events took place during this time not so much to me as it was to other people who are either my friends or well known to me.  I was given an opportunity to 'look' at the pictures in front of me at any given time and see where I figured, if indeed I still did.  And what I realised was that it didnt matter whether they happened to me or not - it was more about how I chose to flow with them in perfect acceptance and surrender for them and for me.

Recently, I deleted my facebook account. For many reasons it felt the perfect time to leave. My purpose for being on facebook was spiritual.  I wanted to meet other like minded people.  What I got instead was a lot more. I reaped gold with the meeting of amazing spiritual teachers like Mooji, Anita Moorjani, Jeff Foster, Jeff Brown, Byron Katie, Pema Chodron, Oriah Mountain Dreamer, Carolyn Myss and a few others.  It was simply awesome and I finally came to a place of a deeper understanding of what I really want to use as a path for my Remembrance of my True Identity.  I have been through so many processes over the years and the funny thing was, over the last 40 days, I was meeting many along the way who are where I was earlier.  My initial reaction was always to let them know this is not the real thing, but experience has taught me that each must walk his/her own path and learn it personally so that Remembrance happens according to his/her capacity and understanding. Today I found this wonderful sufi story which encapsulates my whole Journey of Spiritual Remembrance and this is very significant because this is how I have felt in a nutshell.  What a wonderfully short but profound story!!

CHANGE THE WORLD

Bayazid, a Sufi mystic, has written in his autobiography, “When I was young I thought and I said to God, and in all my prayers this was the base: ‘Give me energy so that I can change the whole world.’ Everybody looked wrong to me. I was a revolutionary and I wanted to change the face of the earth.

“When I became a little more mature I started praying: ‘This seems to be too much. Life is going out of my hands–almost half of my life is gone and I have not changed a single person, and the whole world is too much.’ So I said to God, ‘My family will be enough. Let me change my family.’

“And when I became old,” says Bayazid, “I realized that even the family is too much, and who am I to change them? Then I realized that if I can change myself that will be enough, more than enough. I prayed to God, ‘Now I have come to the right point. At least allow me to do this: I would like to change myself.’

“God replied, ‘Now there is no time left. This you should have asked in the beginning. Then there was a possibility.’”

Added to that is the wisdom of my very dear Spirit Friend, Crys Crystaqueous, who never fails to bring Light into my Life in such a realistic and natural way:

"Whenever I send out any material into the matter-maze of the Earth Play Divine- whether it be in the form of books, articles, blogs, and even speech- never am I thinking in terms of soliciting a response of any kind from any one at any time.  In fact it is my preference that I never receive any.  I simply share out from time to time for the sheer joy of doing so knowing full well that I am not here to educate, save, enlighten, or awaken any being or thing, for in My vision no such needy entities did ever or could ever actually exist.  The earth stage of so-called human activity is not real to Me.  It is the performance stage for My/Our Glorious Cosmic Play Lila.  In the Sole Reality of I AM never has there been a cause or reason to teach, heal, or campaign for peace etc., etc. There is no alternate reality existing!  Therefore, never do I seek or solicit dialog or debates of any kind from or with that which is called human consciousness as I see less than no reason to engage that which isn’t." ~(From the book “LIGHT” by Crystaqueous /January 2014)

And, finally from Jesus:

"You have been called to be a bearer of peace in this world of dreams.  There is a reason for this. You want to wake up from this world, and it is the only way. Do you understand this?  The only way for you to awaken is to awaken other.  And yet, no one needs to wake up but you. Think about this for a moment. No one needs to awaken but you. Why, then, do I say that you must give this to receive it? It is so simple. Because you are only giving to yourself. There is no one there but you to give or receive."  (Jeshua/The Art of Spiritual Peacemaking, Lesson One)

And that is what it is all about! Blessed Be!
