At The Speed Of Love...
We have friends whose families experienced tragic losses recently. Tragic in the sense of what appears as two lives cut short in devastating ways. Even in recognition of a soul's journey and the paths traveled in the course of a life, still we have to process the feelings and emotions of loss, grief and emptiness. And yet, even that is only temporary, as time moves forward and the rest of the world continues as if nothing at all had happened.
How is it then, when we witness so many struggling in our world - so much pain and grief that you wonder how God can stand to watch sometimes - how is it the merchandisers, mass marketers, advertising and network executives and retail icons haven't figured out that collectively our priorities are changing?
We've been moving away from the "Gotta Have It!" 80's to a consciousness of "Gotta Help It!" in the 21st century. People are finding ways to volunteer, to help those in need, and to lift up those who have fallen or lost hope. We can each do our part in our community to make a difference and see that energy passed on. If changing the world depends on us, then by golly, we're gonna do it!
There's been a lot of questioning and re-examining going on in people's lives. Looking back at the year we've just come through, and assessing what we believe we did or did not accomplish. I say believe, because it's our belief that shapes our experience. As we revalue our priorities, let's be clear about the choices we are making. As Emmanuel said, "Illusion has formed your human world. Your world cannot return to Light until all parts of it are remembered in the essence of Perfect Love. Each time you choose love, you transform a piece of forgetting into remembering. Each time you honor Self, you allow your life to be lived fully. The Light of that Self transforms darkness. Every time you remember who you are, you take the illusion of forgetting and bring it back home. You, as Gods, created this illusion for the purpose of knowing the nature of love where love seemed not to be." 1
Last month I mentioned velocity. Merriam-Webster defines it as "1 a: quickness of motion : speed <the velocity of sound> b: rapidity of movement; 2: the rate of change of position along a straight line with respect to time"2 Consider that all your choices, thoughts, words and actions have a mathematical value to them. Lower based thoughts and words a very low sum (we know how to recognize those, don't we?) and Higher Based emotions and action, along with thoughts and words, a terrifically high mathematical equivalent. How quickly are you traveling? Con-sciousness is in constant movement, and we play an integral role in its speed. Christ taught us to take care of the lowest and weakest among us, understanding the full diameter of this circle we are all part of. Isn't it time we start traveling at the speed of love?
Edgar Cayce said in a reading many years ago, "For thyself came not merely by chance. For the earth is a causation world; in the earth cause and effect are as the natural law. And as each soul enters this material plane it is to meet or to give those lessons or truths that others, too, may gain in the more knowledge of the purpose for which each soul enters. When ye, as a soul entity, in the beginning sought companionship with God, losing that companionship with God, losing by choice of that which would satisfy or gratify a material desire only, ye as the Master did, entered again and again, ye come to fulfill the law, the law that brought thy soul into being to be one with Him"3
Soul journey by choice we are all too familiar with. Aiding one who is suffering is the calling of saints. It is unconditional love expressed. It is saving a part of our selves. As Emmanuel so beautifully put it, "As you love, you transform what had not been loved back into its essence. When the last soul remembers to choose love, your entire planet will return Home, and with it every star you see in the heavens."4
