Within the Cosmic scheme of Creation, Space is an unbound canvas. Time is a temporal reality designed to encourage human life to become emotionally bearable. Seasons change, moments pass, and the deeper meaning of memories begins to shift. New colors are discovered within the heart.
Mind creates that which is substantively imagined; while the heart moves through a warm sea of emotional colors. Creation and color are the twin brushstrokes lending movement and vibrancy to human life.
Love is the gravitational force of human existence. Love keeps us earth-bound. The urge to love, nurture, and protect is the essence of human breath.
Love remembers that Spirit lives in Light Eternal. The mere possibility of love given, in a world unwilling to forsake paralyzing fear, is the only earthly treasure worthy of possession.
Light is the electric impulse sparking all creation. Vital substance, imbued with ideation, is the very foundation of living consciousness. Light renews hope, deepens faith, and opens a sealed human heart to the mystical powers of living love.
Light seeps into the deepest caverns, washes across all faces, irrespective of race, sustains the food crops necessary for survival, and is celebrated in all religious and cultural traditions. Light, colored with Love, is the heartbeat of humanity’s evolving consciousness.
Cosmic Life and human life are inextricably woven into being-ness through Light and Love. Mortal existence carries within itself seeds of potentiality leading to Immortality.
Sub-human kingdoms are not burdened with the weightier questions of existence (why are we born, must we die, what is the purpose, meaning, and direction of life?); yet, these kingdoms do contain a measure of living consciousness, a fragment of fiery light.
Through isolation and location, the mineral kingdom excels at geometric symmetry. While the vegetable kingdom pursues an upward yearning, it is simultaneously mastering group harmony and relational magnetism. Within the animal kingdom, two distinct qualities emerge: instinctual mind and a deep capacity for devotion. Both attributes are transmutative steps on the trajectory into the next kingdom.
In this exquisite planetary world of riches and abundance, it is the intuitive force of Gaia which presides over cyclic purging, re-alignment, and equilibrium. This periodic natural cleansing is a by-product of Cosmic Creation. The soul of the planet responding to the universal light of Spirit.
Within the human kingdom, souls arrive on a rainbow bridge of multi-faceted consciousness. Leaving behind the all-ness of One, shrinking into vulnerable human form, living souls seek both manifestation and knowledge. A fragment of Self, the middle principle of soul, crosses the fiery bridge between the pure Light of Spirit and the denser light of matter.
Traversing an inner world grounded in wisdom, embodying compassion, and encouraging sacrifice, this middle principle is the Buddhi-Christ Consciousness of initiation. This love-lit world of Soul remains an enduring earthly reality, steadily impressing itself upon Humanity’s consciousness. An aspirational thousand-year goal for many of us, who are so enamored by the sights, sounds, and smells of physicality.
Each human birth is a weaving of body, heart, and mind desiring fusion within the fiery field of duality existing between human and Spirit. Souls, born into human form, carry ancient gifts from the lower kingdoms: unexpressed qualities of radiance, harmony, attraction, and devotion. And the easiest pathway to reconciliation and reunion leads straight through the heart into the world of Soul.
Yet, we are often led astray by the very qualities intended to bring clarity and vision: intellectual curiosity that seldom reaches the plane of intuition; and an emotional wonderment that reacts to glamour with a compulsive covetousness.
Humanity frequently dupes itself with miscalculations that seem self-serving and short-sighted. Nothing within the material world is the intended goal. Everything is a part of the soul’s journey. An experience to be sought, felt, endured, and understood. We, human beings, are generational visitors of planet earth. While here, have we lived as respectful guests?
Excesses of prior centuries stand in stark contrast to a burgeoning list of shortages in this century.
Humanity is becoming unrecognizable, existing in a state of stasis and preparing for demise.
Within the secret space, between struggle and tension, human beings are surviving daily without dreams, without imagination, without love. Given crumbling institutions, willful disregard for life, the breakdown of civil society, no country is safe, no nation secure, no micro-climate stable; and no individual anywhere is immune to the vision void enfolding the entire human kingdom.
Unworthy, lesser activities are marking temporal days: fascist winds blow across an increasingly polarized Europe, Gaza has more burial grounds than living spaces, Ukraine defends itself; and the dying continues. The largest humanitarian crisis in world history is consuming the people of Sudan, while in America, democracy is collapsing at an accelerated rate, being funded by capital markets and lack of vision. Moral platitudes, that fail to reach the heights of unconditional love, will not save us.
Humanity is not pre-destined for this cataclysmic fall from grace. The vast human kingdom is a self-determining species, born with spiritual resilience and free will. Collectively, humanity can envision a future which includes everyone. Collectively, human beings can clean up these messes of our own making. We can leave behind a world that is richer, fuller, wiser for the next group of visitors. We are all children of the stars sharing a rich heritage; not fragments of earth-bound dust destined for burial in the bowels of contaminated soil.
The keys of renewal and reconciliation can be found in the warmth of spiritual tradition. A global season of giving begins each December. Transgressions can be forgiven; relationships restored.
As the sun moves northward, the Life ensouling the planet prepares for a higher initiation; and during this annual progression, all Life becomes infused with greater light, mobilizing the innate generosity within the human spirit.
In this time of celebration, human beings are free to summon the spiritual will to share gifts of deeper meaning. Non-material and non-monetary gifts which speak of an enduring love within the heart of Humanity.
Inner gifts of simply being present in the moment, really listening in a conversation, sharing an experience with joyfulness, offering a meal, aiding a stranger, supporting causes seeking to uplift and improve the lives of others. These simple gifts quickly accumulate into a powerful force for good. Daily good becomes goodwill; goodwill deepens relational understanding and encourages the spontaneous expression of empathy. Wherever empathy is present, forgiveness has already been freely given.
These precious gifts of giving-ness become stepping-stones along the pathway of unconditional love. This pathway blesses both the giver and the receiver with so much more than was intended.
These gifts to others prepare individual consciousness for the realization of the inner bridge of fiery light. Decentralization becomes the result of this transformation, because the inner bridge is recognized as a living reality within every human being. The shared vision of Light and Love being present, in all moments, is the synthesis of the Divine and the human. Supernal Light made manifest.
Within this vast, inner living space, the soul of Humanity is steadily creating a purposeful and unified will of Oneness, universal brotherhood, to resolve the many challenges of our time.
Those who choose willingly to become gift-givers of Light and Love will find themselves one day standing with the many: healers of the earth, humbled by this sacred task, the builders of the future, and forever children of the stars.
