Oh what a show the worldly-world is manifesting as our collective ignorance reminds us of the price we pay for how we define reality. Â
Perhaps the most rewarding part of today’s outrageous drama that is assaulting so many forms of security our ego consciousness finds essential to a healthy life is the rise of willingness to take action to quell or defeat the worldly-world agents of this insecurity. Being reaffirmed are values that promote realizing the essential dignity of every member of the human family—indeed, every form of existence. Â
How could it be otherwise? At least in my world where the spirit of the universe is playful, loving, deep. Everything is a gift, and the business of life is discovering how come.
Equality, kindness, compassion, understanding and all other members of the life-affirming family are nurtured in large measure through their relationships with their opposite. A friend called a drawing I gave birth to recently a masterpiece. Whatever within that drawing prompted my friend’s label included all that has been learned from the more than two thousand drawings that preceded it.
There is only one game in town: growing our capacity to love until love is all we know and all we are, however many incarnations that takes. Every moment of our life, and every event and thought and feeling within that moment, is a servant to that end. Those who preach that there is no place for so-called evil or unkindness are at least somewhat mistaken I feel. Every form of ignorance and immaturity is a sacred teacher—just as learning from striking out is essential to becoming a baseball batting champion. Pissing and moaning leads to wisdom and serenity as we discover their limitations. We’re all going to heaven (the ever-new bliss of our soul’s conscious oneness with all of existence) whether we like it or not. The game is fixed. The essence of existence is eternal unconditional love. Waking up to that reality—consciously, in every scintilla of our being—is all that’s going on.
Well said!
Yup!
