The
thing about this trip is that no one can tell you exactly where it
leads. Google doesn't know. Siri doesn't know. The moment of
arrival can't be predicted or plotted.
Traveling
this way is disconcerting at first. In a non-linear world everything
is sort of vague and non specific. Surprises are everywhere. Times,
deadlines and even destinations have little relevance. What matters
is the doing.
The
Pando reminds me of what we'll find there. The Pando is an ancient
clonal colony of quaking Aspen, found in Utah, USA. Estimates of its
age start at 80,000 years but reach back to 8 million years old.
What is clear is that these trees are connected, but that connection
(a single root system) is invisible and sort of a distraction as they
are all parts of a single living organism, one of this world's
oldest.
We are
ONE. We exist as separate looking versions of ourselves, with
separate sounding opinions, names, birthplaces and histories. Once
we reach awareness, it'll sort of be like reaching Utah. We'll look
around and notice that everyone looks exactly the same. If we decide
to dig deep, we'll see that not only do we look alike above the
ground, but we are ONE organism beneath as well. If we decide to
ascend to the skies and look down, we'll again see ONE colony of
identical trees. There will be no escaping our ONEness.
With
awareness comes simplicity. No longer are the reasons for your
feelings complicated. It will not matter who got there first, who
tripped who on the way, or who has the most souvenirs. Once you reach
awareness, reasons fall away and whats left is the feeling. There is
not a single path to Agape because, like the Pando, roots/connections
exist in every direction. As part of the ONE, you will throw out your
own shoots along the way. This journey cannot be mapped.
The
whole point is Agape. Like an invisible root system, this is the
binding that forms who we are. It's not like we are separate things,
held by an idea. We are one
thing. The discovery of
that singularity happens and WHAM – you are there. No one can tell
you when that will happen. These journeys point to what you'll see
along the way; they cannot put into words its magnificence.
So, let
everything go and you'll be there. It's that simple and the most
difficult trip you'll ever take. You are here now to do this. Your
success and your arrival is guaranteed. Expect only love and what
you'll find is that you were never alone. I've been growing right
beside you the whole time, as has every “other” you have known.
We all love you. We all ARE you.
We are
the ones we've been waiting for.
This
ends our Love Quest for December. We will begin again in January,
look for an invite/announcement next week. Also in January keep your
eyes out for the “Hundredth Monkey Project”!
Have a
blessed holiday and know that in every moment you are love. I love
you.
Namaste',
