Starry Starry Night
In the course of human events there are many shining examples that
stand out as lights that are as stars in the background of a sky of mediocrity.
Those that seem to shine brightest are when we interact with another on a deep
soul level and there is a deep inner Knowing that we are indeed One. What if
your whole life were sprinkled with such moments to the extent that this was
all you could see? To create this reality, you must be able to give up that
which calls you to the desires of the ego and be willing to risk all in search
of this higher form of Love.
What would you be willing to risk to live a life filled with ecstatic
pleasure, not just in the physical sense, but things that turn on and enliven
all of the moments of your life in Joy and wonder? Since this requires an
attitude of creativity as well as receptivity, what is preventing you from
doing this?
Perhaps you do not feel that you deserve to be happy beyond measure
–you get your wish! Perhaps you feel that joy is frivolous - guess what, no
Joy. Perhaps you cannot see beyond the illusions of the present to even imagine
a world without strife and pain. Guess what you will create. To be able to
create a different future, you must be able to discard these images of past
“failures” and envision a different play unfolding in your life.
Given a blank slate, what would you put on it that would give you true
joy? Would it be more “things”? Would it be wealth? How about romance? Travel?
Physical beauty? Given your experiences, what of these made you truly happy and
has planted seeds for even greater experiences in the future?
What about power? What has made you feel truly powerful? Was this at
the expense of others? How did that make you feel in the long run? Was it
joyful? Is power over yourself or others a good thing or does it leave you
feeling empty and betrayed? How might this cachet called power be redirected to
serve yourself and others in a more meaningful way.” What do you do that makes
you feel powerful in a positive way and how can you use this dynamic energy to
elevate yourself and others in positive ways?
What about nurturance? On a feeling scale, is it more Joyful to nurture
or be nurtured? What can you do to bring
more of this nurturing, caring energy into your life? Is caring and compassion
a big part of your life and your daily practice or are you bound by perceived
constraints that make this seem difficult? Perhaps it is time to sever these
ties that bind you and prevent your giving and receiving the fullest expression
of God’s Love in and through others.
The illusions of life are a cloud that prevents our seeing things
around us in their natural state as God does. Suspend your judgment and
expectations and you will enter a world where beauty is in the eye of the
beholder and if you assume your God-vision-goggles, all will be revealed in the
perfection of this divine vision. Allow
yourself to live amongst this image more and more each day until this becomes
your reality. The only things preventing
us from ascending into our godhood are our limiting thoughts and beliefs. You
are more than you can ever imagine and this divine image is being withheld
because you are reluctant to open your inner awareness in order to embody the
magnificence you are. What will it take to inspire you to get up and accept
this mantle of divinity? God only knows…
I AM
