Love is a choice. Love is a conscious decision. Love is where we came from and where we will return.
We are born into a world of shiny objective toys, some call it maya, all promising enjoyment, pleasure, satisfaction and then we reach a point where the material things of the world loose their sparkle. I am sure many of us have experienced this when we’ve been asked what do you want for your birthday or Christmas and we discover we don’t want things, but we do want our friends and loved ones to be well and happy.
To live a live of peace, of happiness, of contentment, we must choose to trust in love. We must remind ourselves that no what the dance of matter is doing, all is unfolding in Divine Order.
This shift takes our willingness to pivot our mind inward, where we can catch a glimpse of how blessed we are. It is at that point we notice its not the material objects which cause joyous gratitude to swell up within us, it is our relationships and our interactions with all of life that causes us to notice the sacred realm of being or “the Kingdom of Heaven” within.
This changeless, eternal realm is beyond cause and effect, time and space. Here in this centeredness is where the physical Universe rests.
There are many names for this One True Self. Some call it Krishna, Christ, Adonai, Allah, Divine Mother. Whatever name you call this still pointe, here is where our eyes penetrate into the Mystery.
Where we become like a child, once again and live from a sacred aliveness, like the thrill a toddler experiences when she is fascinated by a lady bug or to watch the compassion emanating from the eyes of a wise elder who is content to sit and watch life from a front porch.
If we can still our minds long enough, our perspective rises and we glimpse the unseen mystery. Then the choice is ours, once again, do we ignore this love that runs through our veins or do we share this love with all of our siblings.
“i open my mind to new ways of looking so I can SEE our Oneness.”
Blessings on our Journey
