To become the Christ, what does it mean?

To become the Christ, what does it mean?  It means everything and it means nothing to become what you already are: I AM.   

You are walking through a world of choices, do not forget that.  Your every thought is a choice.  To realize your Christhood, every thought shall you know, be responsible for and realize its power and its mercy.

Jesus

What is it to love?

What is it to love?  It is truly to God.  To truly love is to walk the path of God.  That means doing many things that humans do not want to do.  But there is such as mask that humanity wears that so very few actually see and recognize the face of God in another human being.

Words can tell you, feelings can enchant you, hopes can ensnare you, but only God, love, can free you.  It is the ultimate surrender, and that surrender becomes all-powerful.  It begets compassion and a deep understanding beyond words.  Because the world is dualistic, the polar opposite of love is fear.  Sadly, perhaps, that is where most of the world lives, in the half-light, the hopeless hope.

The subject of love can be so moving, charged and passionate, clouded and misunderstood, stifling and all-encompassing.  No wonder why the subject of love has been the cause of so many a poem and song. 

So, what is love?  Perhaps a simple answer is, it is not fear.

Rumi

What does it mean to be brave?

What does it mean to be brave?  How does one justify an act of bravery?  There are armies of humans that were brave and died, and there are the brave that lived and yet died. 

What is bravery?  Is it strength?  Commitment?  Action?  All of these things and more?  If bravery is the light, immersing oneself in it to such a degree that there is no fear, oh, evil might exist on the periphery of such a light, but that light cuts and that light purifies and the brave become that light.  And such a light goes with that soul to the grave.

There is another way to be brave, it is called neutrality.  When all else would demand the soul take position one way or another, remaining neutral becomes the badge of courage, becomes the poise.  Sometimes we must rise and spirit becomes us so magnificently that we are deaf and blind and dumb to all else but maintaining love. 

Rumi

These days are rife with the choice

These days are rife with the choice.  From whence comes action, positive, loving, compassionate; from the mind or from the heart?  To think with the mind is to suffer an emptiness; to be in the heart is to have a friend.  To practice mind is that, a practice.  As one with the heart is a life.  We don’t practice life, we live it.  There is a difference and there is meant to be a difference.  And there is also the strength to move such a heart into the mind.  

No mind, no brain can interpret the divine, the universal mind.  But it had to go somewhere, and so the heart unlocks it, the divine heart, universal heart, universal love.  And here is a secret that was not a secret thousands of years ago: love unlocks everything.  Everything.  And then there is no confusion between what is what and which is which, because everything is from the heart, the heart mind, because everything is from love.And that love is a single choice.  It’s not complicated; it never was and never will be. 

And when we speak of love we speak of something that is so prevalent.  It is like air upon Earth, air that is not polluted or toxic.  It is the magnetism that you feel when you place your hands very, very close together, and you feel that warmth, but there’s something else, something unique, something Goddess-like, something mystic.  You have great power in your hands, in the ability to truly touch, when you realize that the heart travels to everything you touch if you let it.  The heart moves down your arm and into your hands and fingertips, it spreads, it envelops, it blesses, it can cause miracles.

Buddha

All that happens in your life transpires to move you closer to God

All that happens in your life transpires to move you closer to God.  Can you trust that?  The status quo is to resist with great passion the healing balm that life affords.  Can you afford to keep repeating the karmic cycle?  But that is up to you. 

You see, the world is moving.  There is no yesterday that will become tomorrow.  The world is carrying on with its own life.  If you look with the eyes of the master, the master you are, you will understand that to resist healing is foolish.  Let the river pass through your arched stone-way.  Do not build a wall.  It flows; it will continue to flow, or it will flood its surroundings and your wall or door or archway of stone will no longer exist. 

Be pliable.  Be loving.  Open yourselves to the understanding that this is not a punishment – this thing called life – and you are all here because this time you were going to make it right.  You have not made it wrong. 

I challenge you to stand in the light, to walk into the sun eternal.  I challenge you to remember who you are despite a world that is somnambulant and drugged.  This is your life.  If you were to vision the goodness channeled towards you at this very moment, you would lay down your swords, and lay down your shields and stop defending your insecurities.  You would welcome the approaching armies of golden light and love; and you’d realize that life has always been on your side, that God has always been by your side.
