AMAZING TIMES

 

This is truly an amazing time. Amazing in that it really brings the reality

home, that no one can control events, no one can know the future no matter

how hard we try to convince ourselves. It gives everything a sense of

susceptibility of dispensability. The truth that the world as we know it

could disappear tomorrow fills me with a sense of enjoying the here, the now

To be at peace in the moment. This is not a time for mindless retribution

driven by fear and hatred it is a time of change. A time to acknowledge our

fears and take the responsibility, to react in a different way. It is a

great opportunity for everyone to unite take responsibility for the parts we

have ALL played as human beings in making the world what it is and letting

it go (let he who is without sin, and all that). This whole situation, the

drama, the intenseness, the pain, the sadness, all great opportunities for

people to ask why, not to blame, but acknowledge each others pain.

Acknowledge that pain is pain and no ones pain is greater of lesser than

anyone else's, but that we all suffer and THAT IS WHY we are all locked in

this defensiveness. This great opportunity we now all have to share our

pain. To empathize with one another to heal together. Since these

devastating events took place I have felt such a deep sense of love within

myself, a deepness that I have never felt before. This realization that I

don't want to live my life with anger and hatred inside of me. The

realization of the possibility that the world may end tomorrow has in a way

given me a sense of relief. The relief being that the realization is that

we truly only have the moment and that I have been able to step into the

moment without the illusion of the future and everything that goes with it.

That nothing else matters. That outside the world may change but inside I

remain the same. I'll never forget once I was sitting, this was some 8

years ago. I was sat with a group of friends and we were putting the world

to rights. Accusing, blaming, hanging onto our conditioned beliefs, I'm

sure you know what I mean. One of my friends had a little girl,a little 3

year old called Lola. She sat amidst this very heated conversation playing

with some toys, apparently oblivious to our rantings. The conversation got

more and more intense, emotions got higher then suddenly she stood up in the

middle of the room and said in such clear, calm voice "you know you only

hurt if you want to" then sat down and continued playing with her toys. I

ll never forget the moment, the whole room fell silent, for what seemed like

ages. In that moment ,in those words, immense healing took place. A

catalyst, a moment which stops you dead in your tracks, where your mind

disappears, where everything disappears and for a moment you are at the

center of your being. A moment where truth dissolves the illusion, shatters

every belief, every attachment, every concept, strips you naked as you stand

within yourself. The events of Tuesday gave millions that tiny window when

belief was suspended and there was silence within even if it was just for a

split second the seed was experienced.. These times of intense emotion of

intense drama are such times to let go of our patterns of behavior, release

ourselves from the cycles of pain and blame. The essence of every situation

the lesson of each situation is the same, the same operate within the

microcosm and the macrocosm, only the scale is different. Although what has

happened in recent events is truly sad for the human race, we must take this

opportunity, this responsibility to heal ourselves to use this catalyst to

propel ourselves forward into a time of peace, compassion and understanding

within our world. TO BEGIN TO GROW THE SEED. Let us break the chains that

bind us to anger and despair and open our hearts and breath in LIFE. Let

us rejoice in our existence see the beauty in it and stop resenting it. We

have experienced and acknowledged our power of destruction our ability to

destroy now let us experience and embrace the beautiful power of creation

and open to the divine within. My thanks for letting me share this with you

with an open heart.May all your hearts be open to the joy of life.
