Guest guest Posted September 26, 2001 Report Share Posted September 26, 2001 Dearest Friends, Do you remember the smell of the earth after the first rain comes, like it just did here in California yesterday and the day before? The scent of earth singing from dry straw grass, from the bare, brown earth, from the jasmine and the peppermint, it sings with, sings for, the sheer delight of this fragrance of love, love from Mother Earth. I have been experiencing an inordinate amount of hip and joint pain the past few days. It was difficult to get around and do my chores. But the fragrance called me, it called with such sweetness that I got up and went outside, yesterday at 11:00 am. I walked along the gardens, everyone smiling with wet faces. I walked over to the dry, exhuberantly, fragrant, straw grass, moist with rain. I walked across it, and suddenly, I felt the energy of Mother Earth, it called to my bones and my pain, and I knew we were one in something. I was compelled to remove my shoes, and feel this loving, calling energy of Mother Earth. I removed them, and then I was compelled to lie upon the earth, on my back, with arms stretched wide, every sinew stretched out to meet and merge with the earth energy. If I could only explain this communion, this dancing with light and energy. I layed there for some time, and then arose. I arose with this: The crushing, bone-bruising pain was gone. Simply gone. Yes, Mother Earth shared her energy, and she took away the negative energy that was causing this pain in me. With loving earth energy, my body was absorbing the earth vibrations of healing and loving pure energy, light that is healing energy. Surrender to the Beauty if you can, if you dare, and you will find a new horizon that is the brightest, most brilliant light imaginable. It shines in every heart, it shines in every face, every face, and you can recognize it if you surrender. Surrender the wants, the desires, the baggage, the likes and dislikes, the judgements, the differences, the ideas and concepts and constructs. Walk with open heart and a clear mind into that Light that Is you, is everything. IT IS YOU. Break the bonds we bind around our hearts. Free ourselves, and fly to Him alone. Poof! All lifted! Like a new lotus bud, we stand with our arms open, waiting for the touch of the Sun. "Shams, and actual sunlight, help me now." There is a miracle in every smile being born. Rumi, Hafez, Lalla, Whitman, Saadi, Attar, Sanai, Whitewolfe, all the marvelous songsters of our lives, listen, take note, and do what they sing, and dance, and play the flute... "I am the flute that drinks from your lips. I play no song, but your song. If I'm quiet it's so as not to show your glory to those who can't hear it."

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2001 Report Share Posted September 26, 2001 Dear Mazie, I love your words. They are so ALIVE! I, too, was mesmerized by the smell of the earth yesterday! I, too, found myself barefooted and blissfully sprawled out on a bed of pine needles in the dry grass. I know we were smelling the same smell and reveling in That Beauty at the same time. I just know it. Love, Kheyala P.S. I live up on the San Juan Ridge, just a few miles away from Ananda Village. - sraddha54 Wednesday, September 26, 2001 3:36 PM The Divine Energy of Mother Earth Dearest Friends, Do you remember the smell of the earth after the first rain comes, like it just did here in California yesterday and the day before?

Paths, places, sights, perceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to be the Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It Self.
