No Eckart Tolle with us this week at the Maui Marriott Resort, as he cancelled. No worries, we are complete in ourselves.
No Makena Beach surf heroics today, where I might need to save myself from a deadly sea again. Whew!!!
And now, a message from my sponsor.
The concepts of “us” and “them” arise simultaneously in the same consciousness.
The concepts of “I” and “you” arise simultaeously in the same consciousness.
Duality and it’s fragmentation creates our reality, if we fail to evolve beyond these perceptual limitations.
When the mainly erroneous concepts we may create of “you” fades into a love inspired irrelevance, and, if the owner of that former conceptualized mind has truly awakened, the personal concept of “I” also fades into a relative insignificance, as well.
Then, there is only awareness itself, without idolatry, without duality, with no need to exert or exercise excessive control over each unfolding moment.
That opens the door to new paths of consciousness where only timelessness may thrive, and sacred silence of eternity is revealed as the very nature of our existence.
Sacred silence with its wind dancing through the palm trees, with the birds flitting from flower to frawn, with its setting sun and the moon in the twilight always accompanied by rhythm of the ocean waves, are imbued with nature’s call for love.
Why can this moment be run over by so many divisive voices?
Silence, real silence, is feared, and must be replaced by the words and thoughts of the hapless ego’s need to exercise control, rather than let go into a spiritually enhanced awareness. We are either free, or at the mercy of the puppeteers created by clinging to false images of our self and the other.
With 7.5 billion humans attempting to control this moment, without the spirit of love and collaboration with the totality of life., it is easy to see why our world is disintegrating.
Silence is golden, yes?
So is its love, and innate need for collaboration with ALL species, and the plant kingdom.
Our planet and its life deserves nothing less from humans, yet, something less is what we continue to give back to LIFE. Mankind’s politics and religion has been a failure at even consciously addressing, let alone healing our world threatening postures.
The sacred silence is heard and obeyed by its children.
Who are humanity’s parents?
Listen deeply for the Truth.
