When I was very young... (0 / 0)
Before I learned to walk, I was serene, like a little Buddha. My mom used to say she could sit me in a corner, with just a couple of toys, and I would be content. I would play with shafts of sunlight, as if in meditation. Then, the passages happened...I'm 51 now, and I am starting to get some light back, or to realize it never went away, nor could it. Not really. I had a deep understanding of things unseen, a vivid and colorful imagination.
My writing is based on that. It led me to metaphysical teachings from The Science of Mind to The Secret of the Ages, to The Seth Material, to A Course In Miracles. I believe ultimately there is one teaching, and all teachings teach it.
But love is always the key, isn't it? Ernest Holmes, author of The Science of Mind, wrote, "Love is the central flame of the universe. Nay, the very fire itself."
What if "we" are in truth one unlimited Self, dreaming "he" is a multitude of separate and separated bodies, little selves, and each little self dreams in turn...so creative is mind. What if our terror is unreal, and when we at last grow as a people in spiritual terms we will awaken and make a new world, then return to our Self. People demand that this means we lose individuality, but we do not understand individuality in the first place. It is not lost, but at last we can see what it really means. Isn't that what we are saying to one another, all of us? Isn't that why such things as The Seth books, and A Course In Miracles, and now The Secret, which is just a re-do of old metaphysical principles...is that not why such things keep coming out?
I believe we as a people are coming slowly into a new way of being. There is already upheaval, but with it comes the peace we have always sought, but dared not think possible. Barack Obama is part of that. But it is not an overnight thing. It will take time in our terms. I am not afraid of the mess as long as I know what awaits once it is healed by all of us working together.
First I believe we must come to grips with the idea that mind is far more powerful than we want to admit. Science keeps playing around with that idea with its quantum physics, and questions about mind over matter, when they should and will understand that mind forms matter.
I leave you with this: May peace one day overlay the earth, and heal the world.
