A COMPANY OF STARS

7.12.12

When we feel troubled that the chaos around us makes no sense, and we are not given understanding of why it needs to be, it’s good to remember that we don’t need to understand.  What’s taking place is part of a design so vast it’s not in the nature of creation for the human mind to be able to understand. 

It’s not a small thing; it’s possibly the greatest leap our species has ever been required to make.  So it’s good to be patient with ourselves as the building blocks of consciousness within each of us shift, one by one or ten by ten.

To expect to make this leap from start to end in a single bound is a fantasy of the human ego.  Most of us have come into this life with an agreement to be embedded within the human organism.  Our evolutionary path will keep pace with that larger organism.  The service to be rendered is that of sharing the common experience and working from within it.  

There’s a quote about being “enlightened” that says it’s more valuable to be one of the many, traveling together, than to be a shooting star of enlightenment whom no one comprehends. 

There is a strong egoic desire to be a shooting star; yet the greater service of the many does not follow that path. As this transition progresses, we will unfold a deeply soul-satisfying companionship in our work together.

ROSEBUD

7.10.12

When I think of the transition our species is undergoing, I see the image of a pale yellow rosebud, not opened yet but just beginning to open, a very beautiful stage of the rose.  This rosebud is surrounded by a pool of soft, brilliant light, and the transmission behind the image is one of clarity and freshness; it speaks of the new life that's unfolding amid the vast cultural shift we’re all going through. 

The rosebud represents the deeper truth that most of us don’t see or perceive yet. We see the chaos and the confusion, and we see what feels like a lot of darkness in the outer events that surround us.  And yet the truth of what’s happening is this freshness and beauty we see in the rose, perfect potential that is just getting ready to start opening. It lives in the light and the warmth and benevolence of greater reality. 

The rosebud in its pool of light is a symbol of where we're at as a planetary organism in this transition.  We’re not a tight little green bud that hasn’t even begun to show petal color, we’re actually a fully formed bud that’s already begun to open into that welcoming light.

Sometimes it’s hard to believe there’s even a bud on the thorny bush of our manmade world, and yet in truth we’ve come all this way already.  It’s good to remember that just as the rosebud will follow the path of its destiny, in the same way we as a planetary organism will blossom in our fullness.
