Dear Josie ~ I was touched by what you wrote that Joyce responded to as well

as your current reflections. I would be only so glad to have every aspect of

my life illuminated by the Sacred. This is my goal; this is why I am here.

Forms are tools that help us on the path. Sometimes they are like a map;

sometimes they are like a tour guide; sometimes they are far ahead of us only

shining a light we can barely see.

 

I have realizations; I am blessed with an "ah hah," and in these, I feel a

deep connection with the Sacred. Then the "ah hah" wears off, dissipates, and

I am left looking into the same mirrors and having the same reactions. But

recently I have become more aware of this process, and I have resolved to,

when the "ah hah" wears off, to remember it; to remember what triggered my

first reaction back to coming from a place of fear rather than a place of

love; to step into the space between the "what" and my reaction and not react

back to the best of my ability, but to remember the connection I have felt to

the Sacred and to grow with the experience. Am I aways successful? Not! Oh

well, my humanity also deserves unconditional love.

 

For a long time, I have been confused about how to connect with the Sacred. I

have done various types of meditation, have visited various holy persons (and

I do believe that these tools and people are very significant to us who

struggle to keep our little boats afloat), have been trained in Reiki, etc.,

etc., etc. Recently, struggling with what "looks like" a lot of "negative"

energy being directed at me, I have discovered a new way. I just talk to God;

just like I would talk to anyone. I tell God about my day, what went well,

what was hard, where I am confused or need help ... and it is just a very

simple thing. Yet, now this is the part of the day I most look forward to,

and I feel a new kind of love growing in my heart.

 

When I begin my talking, I give thanks to the Divine Mother/Divine

Father/Creator in all names and forms, who vibrates the form and the formless

into their dance. So in a sense, I am still using form, yet, at the same

time, I am giving up specific form. At the end of the day, which is when I do

this process, it doesn't matter. I feel as if held in the lap of the Sacred,

and for me that is everything. P.S. Here is the chorus to a song I wrote a

long time ago:

 

You are held in the Mind of the One;

you are rocked in a cradle of Loving Concern,

and all your nightmares will vanish in the Dawn,

they will vanish in the Dawn.

 

Blessings to you ~ Linda

Hello Linda -

 

What you say resonates with me, especially when you say that

your 'humanity deserves uncondtional love.'

Wow, this is just wonderful! I mean that you are able to experience

that deep connection with the Sacred and the ah ha in the first

place. That is such a gift, to do that... And just as amazing is that

you have figured out a way to catch that fear reaction and return

back to that place of Love. This makes me so happy for you.

This is beautiful.

Yes, for it is they who have given you the elements of the dance that

is yours - all of that comes from Goddess/Divine Beloved/Divine

Mother/Divine Father/Creator. To accept what is given us by that

creative power, to accept it gracefully and know the unconditional

Love that is there for each of us - that is so healing. To do that,

rather than to fight or grasp or resist the dance that is for us.
