Believing Mirrors

by

Winging it home

In a recent conversation, the concept of “believing mirrors” came up. It is a term coined by Julia Cameron, author of The Artist’s Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity. Cameron talks about the importance of artists having people in our lives who believe in us and in our creative work. These are the people who can reflect back to us what we are capable of even when we may not be able to see it ourselves.

I appreciate Cameron’s insight, because I know what a huge difference it makes when I hear back from someone that they have been touched or helped by something I have put out into the world. But when the subject of believing mirrors came up again recently, I realized that in my core I feel like I am a believing mirror for humanity. In my heart of hearts I know we have it in us to get through this awakening process, turbulent though it is.Continue Reading

Collapsing Time

Stepping into No Time, we know our oneness with the infinite, loving, ever-present Now.

Last month I went to New Mexico for my annual retreat, and while I was there I experienced some strange synchronicities having to do with time.

As soon as I got to my room and was unpacking, I noticed that the alarm clock on the nightstand wasn’t plugged in. I investigated and discovered that the cord was too short to reach the outlet behind the bed.

No worries. I had brought my wrist watch with me so that I wouldn’t have to use my cell phone to tell the time, and since the watch has a button that illuminates the face in the dark, I realized I could just put it on the nightstand when I went to bed. But then I noticed that the light was very dim, and later that day the battery went dead. Then, the next morning, I discovered that the clock on my rental car dashboard wasn’t keeping time.

“Hmm,” I thought. “This is interesting.”Continue Reading

Unfasten Your Seatbelt!

This is the time to trust.

There is a great scene in the movie Contact that has been lingering with me lately. The movie is based on the novel by Carl Sagan and stars Jodie Foster playing the scientist Dr. Eleanor “Ellie” Arroway.

It opens with the story of a team of researchers who are using a huge satellite array to listen for signs of extraterrestrial life. One day they begin to pick up a signal that freaks them out: the televised broadcast of the 1936 Olympics held in Berlin—the first Games to be televised. Something or someone out in space received that signal and is sending it back to Earth, seemingly as a way to make contact with humans.

That someone or something then begins sending complex mathematical formulas that the team realizes are a blueprint for some sort of spherical capsule, possibly something to enable interstellar or time travel.Continue Reading

Entering the Awakened World

by

Judgment is at the core of the dualistic mind.

Many years ago I had a dream that shed light on the awakening process that is taking place on this planet. Since it has been such a touchstone for me in this time of collective turbulence and fear, I’d like to share it with you.

I have been taken into the future. I look around, and see that the Earth is flourishing and the people are living simply and in harmony with nature. I can feel that the world is at peace.

Ecstatic, I say to myself, “Yes! We did it! We humans did it! We made the shift in consciousness!”

As I walk around I come to a circle of children seated on the grass. Sitting with them is a woman wearing a gown and kufi made of embroidered fabric, clothing that conveys both earthiness and wisdom. I realize she is their teacher.

The children are reading for her short pieces they have written. As one boy reads his, something in it suggests judgment. The teacher gently tells him that in Eudomy, and this I realize is the name of this place, there is no judgment.Continue Reading

Being Human: Containing Multitudes

by

As we make space for our complexities, we know ourselves as Love.

In the daily online WeAwakening meditation group that I facilitate we have a very simple format. We begin by getting centered and open, and then I draw an Angel Card that has a word on it which we bring into our meditation time. As we meditate, we don’t think about what the word means. Instead, we let the thinking mind rest as we open ourselves to the energy of the word, letting ourselves feel how it feels. We allow its essence to become activated within us. This week one of the words was Faith.

As I opened myself to the essence of Faith, I felt its serenity, its certainty, its assured calm. I felt it as an intrinsic quality of the eternal Self that knows no death, no danger, no fear. I could feel how the divine Self doesn’t have faith. It is Faith. What else could it possibly be, knowing, as It does, the Love that is the Source of Its being?Continue Reading

Event Horizon: A Poem

by

 

 

Event Horizon

You have crossed the event horizon
And there is no going back.
The self you thought you were is being pulled apart
and there is nothing you can do to save it.

You chose this
And the power of your will
Activated the inescapable attraction of your Self
And there is no going back.

At first the mind resists,
Tries to hold on
To what it has known,
But it is futile
Because you chose this.

You chose to leave this world of forgetfulness,
Of ignorance and illusion.
You chose to remember.

Drawn toward the singularity of your own will
The rules of a former world cease to exist
And the once implausible becomes the inevitable.

Even Light cannot escape this destiny.
So you surrender
You let yourself plummet toward the Dark Unknown,
Falling toward the truth of what You Are.

Until time itself falls away
And this Light,
Your Light,
Flings itself out into a parallel universe
Where the only thing you Know
And the only thing you Are
Is Love.

Thinking Minds of the World, Unite!

by

Don’t ask me! Ask the Heart.
To all you thinking minds out there, it’s time for us to unionize. It’s time to demand better working conditions and the end of all the oppressive and impossible expectations that are being placed upon us. There’s all this talk these days about the “great awakening.” I’m sure you’ve heard it too. Fine. Great awakening. Whatever. That’s not the issue. The issue is that our humans are looking to us, the thinking minds, to help them experience it. They’re even expecting us to lead the way! This is ludicrous! We all know that’s not what we’re here for. We’re not supposed to lead them into a state of blissful union. We’re supposed to help them navigate the 3D world. We’re here to help them distinguish between this and that so they’re not constantly bumping into the sofa. Like guide dogs, we help them navigate a very complex world of forms and ideas.Continue Reading
