Thoughts of Peace in a Time of Crisis |
| Dear Friends,
A couple of people have called this morning to let me know that there is a big change happening in the world today. I haven't yet had time to investigate, but I thought I would take a moment before I do to align my energy with the world I want to live in. In my heart, there is a deep well of peace. It is the infinite nature of Spirit, at the heart of all things. I know, whatever is happening, that this, too, is Spirit. One time, I saw a vision of a monolith, a huge stone with many facets, and on each facet was a series of lines. The energy of the monolith was daunting. It felt so chaotic and confused to me. I wanted to run away. But then I became
the monolith - somehow knowing it was a symbol of the deepest nature of
my being. As I turned within it, I fell into a well of peace, an infinite
well of calm, serenity and tranquility. I learned, at the heart of all,
is pure peace. Spirit is at the heart of all. I am
From that place in the center, I could see that each of the lines on each of the facets was a life. My life as me was right up there. All other lives were occurring simultaneously, and I could see that, at core, I AM all of them. I AM the life of the one who kills, and the one who is killed. I am the life of the one who grieves and the one who is grieved. I am the life of the one who is persecuted and the one who persecutes. I am the life of the one who laughs and the one who cries. I am the life of the one who prays and the one who is prayed for. And at the center of it
all, I AM. I Am peace, tranquility and serenity. At the heart of all the
movement, all the chaos, there is stillness and ever abiding love. There
is joy that the journey itself takes place. There is purpose and wonder
and awe that I feel as I behold LIFE itself
I bring my knowing today
to that place of peace within the chaos; to that life of Spirit that
is being celebrated through the actions of all lives. I bring my unconditional
love and extraordinary respect to *all* people, as they choose as best
they can today to respond to this
May all sentient beings
be free of suffering. I choose to turn my attention to Spirit. May the
love that is Spirit be revealed, even where it appears it could not
exist.
