gifts of the maji
The arising revelation realized in the human Christ Life, the life of Unity Consciousness made human to dwell among mortals is celebrated today. In all those in whom the profound recognition of Unity Consciousness that is known by many names in addition to Christ, is recognized and adored through the action of those who are given to recognize what is born moment to moment in every instant of Being.
The magnificence that Is the love light that returns to earth and embodies Itself in form in order to transmute by compassion through living the very base human life in an exalted way is evidence of the adoration of Holy Being for Itself. For Itself in very human life languishing in sufferings of the false yet believed experience of separation from Itself in most profound ways.
In meeting with many of you, I am struck by the merciful beauty of the Being we are and the boundless capacity to love, embrace, transform our suffering, to welcome and take all in until it dissolves in holy communion of One Life, One Truth, One Being alive. What breaks us open sets us free. When we let be the pain in our core, in the very depths of our humanity we are united with one another in this reality of human suffering. Many have shared the recognition of the many who suffer the same hurt within the experience of our own pain.
Many try to use spirituality to avoid pain, but true spiritual practice gives the means to penetrate through until we “overcome” as Jesus said. In recent days I have ridden waves of suffering with many of you that have taken consciousness deeply in to the bonds, the heart and soul of this insane world of pain human beings co-create through taking such pains to avoid pain. Many of you are strongly feeling there is life that is ready to come through free of suffering. As we meet the pain that overtakes and engulfs us in its sorrow, fear, anger, and despair by letting be compassionately, a profound change takes place. By delving into the holes where something essential is achingly missing, we can discover what is Here, not apart from our experience, but within it, awaiting our willingness to enter in and discover.
Experiences of those who have been tortured to death in genocidal insanities are coming up out of the genetics, the cells, and the souls of some of us. WE are embodying the turning of the tide that is the genocidal mania going on among us today, even while we experience the soul-less heartlessness of our very wealthy society’s headlong rush toward self annihilation, pursuing the emptiness of get rich quick to inure oneself from suffering. Mother Teresa noted the impoverishment of riches we suffer. Those of us who open into the suffering that is beyond the bounds of our individuality recognize as the dear and great Savior did: we are in this together.
Born into the lowliness of human conditioning, those of deepest sagacity followed the light of the single eye, the guiding light of profound Self-realization, to the most humble of human circumstances among the animal nature of human Beingness, bowed low and gave gifts of adoration., gifts of great value in recognition of the gift given from the transcendent to upraise the life lived here on earth. This is the guiding Principle that gives our lives meaning and purpose, is the most profound offering of the Beloved: to be born into the suffering within the false, and through living the life, the way the truth and the life, bring it Home to the true.
In studying the lives of those who survive the horrors of torture, genocide, or simply life lived in soul-less heartless business-as-usual society that expects everything and gives little, finding the opening into the embrace of the Love This Is in the midst of the heartbreaking pain is redemption. We meet what can no longer be resisted when our hearts finally break open, when we admit into our conscious awareness what has been lurking around inside repressed, suppressed, forgotten, and ignored. We notice that life brings us situations and circumstances that bring this content to the surface where it cannot be ignored, hard as we try. We don’t recognize this as a healing crises, a clearing out of what no longer applies, the liberation work of our deepest True Nature redeeming and bringing all itself home, mercifully, cell by cell, in such a way that it is not possible to participate in dualistic separation consciousness; in such a way that our compassion burns within us as a light to all that suffer in dimness of unconsciousness and ignorance. We meet even the enemy, the perpetrators and recognize our own acting out of the avoided ignored pain. Injustice, inequality are intolerably painful now, and we meet it with this compassionate fire that is in unity with everyone, and does not participate or indulge in being separate from any one, any aspect of it, and embraces, takes in, receives unto the infinite heart all formations of untruth with wisdom and merciful compassion, with strength, and the power to Be In and function as Unity Consciousness not swayed by appearances, in Self-knowing carefree self-abandon in wholeness.
To all those who suffer in ignorance, to all those in transition awakening, to all those who have awakened, who live the life we offer adoration in in the forms of generous gifts, wisdom in action that we have to bring to this moment:
¨ our gold, material goodness, financial support for the living on earth, symbol of elemental goodness and love;
¨ our frankincense, our service and heartfelt unified action for the good of all that burns away with heaven scent love all obstruction and obscuration;
¨ and myrrh, the rich elemental wisdom of earth, the oils that soothe and anoint, the very loam of the groundless ground that fuels, lights and nurtures every day living in sacrifice, deep sacred living moment to moment.
We offer all we have and are most humbly bowed before This that is born and made flesh to dwell among us, and bring heaven to earth and all Home free in Truth Now.
You are loved and adored as you are right now, dearest One. Be born anew in this Love giving all away to This which adores, and simply Be Who You Are. Relax, rest and open into the knowing Love that adores Itself in Truth in all form as is. As gratitude arises, give it life of action in form. Make like the magi, the seer sages who recognize Truth alive, and give all for the good that is greater and is the actualized evidence of goodwill toward All we are the embodied vehicles of and for; give your adoration of and to the true in you, in all. Bow most humbly and give way all to the living life force of Love arising in and as you as you are right where you are this instant. Epiphany realized here and now.
