The Awe of One Voice Telling so Many Stories!

Over the past several weeks I've read many books and listened to many illuminaries tell so many stories about the awakening potential occuring on our planet. Each voice brings, as I listened and read, a twist to this unfolding story from their personal interpretation/perspective. If you haven't had the opportunity to listen to Craig Hamiliton's teleseminars, www.evolutionaryspiritual.com/audios, you might want to check it out.

I read a spiritual novel, Redeeming Love, from a  born again Christian perspective, a book by Bruce Lipton and Steve Bhaerman, Spontaneous Evolution, from a biology/science perspective, The Power of Premonitions by Larry Dossey, a medical doctor, offering his perspective from both a science and intutitive understanding. Midnights with a Mystic, by a woman having conversations with the mystic, Sadhguru, founder of Isha Foundation, giving a very different understanding of the role of guru and student and, lastly, Kundalinii Rising, perspectives from many voices about exploring the awakening process, through the charkras, of an ancient power referred to as Kundalini.

I listened to Brian Swimme and Andrew Cohen, just today, from their perspective's about this mysterious force, seemingly moving with great urgency through all of life. I am awe struck and write this today with the greatest humility. Every word I read ,and voice I listened too, are saying the same thing. One voice, through all these voices, kept echoing and resonnating with my own internal soul voice. Now, why I'm writing this with so much humility and awe is, the very fact, I'm trying to bring my limited words to this powerful, mysterious force. My words can't even come close to the powerful energy pulsating through me right now; and, through you and every living cell from the beginning of time, as far back as we can remember time/space. Tears stream just trying to hold this understanding.

I can call this mysterious force by many names; God, the Universe but, the fact remains, it's one powerful force. And, another truth is we really don't know from whence it came......we theorize, debate and often kill over this argument but we don't know. Some say the void, what does that mean? Some say Heaven,  but these are all just the best ideas we have at this time......and this is okay because something within us just wants to believe that there is some kind of beginning. And, of course, then we get all crazy with fear; if there is a beginning then there is an end....an end to what? So around and around we go while this one force keeps moving us to get bigger and better. The seed feels an urgent impulse to become it's highest potential. I feel something and I bet you do too. I've come to believe that beginnings and endings are simply changes in our ever evolving stories.

This one powerful force appears to manifest it's vibrational voice in many forms and perspectives. Look at all the different kinds of species in nature and perspectives in humanity. I love how Bruce and Steve mapped out our inner world. How we have evolved from the single cell to the multicelled, and how this inner world looks and acts like a unified community, working together for the whole system. Nature appears to have this same encoded message too. The one voice linked in the many expressions. So whats up with humanity?

Well, we are young and relative new on the planet, and we've been given the gift and freedom, through free will, to find out about our one voice. All our stories come from the same main character it seems to me.....But because of this free will gift we're all given, we somehow have become lost in our personal stories; these small little selves that are programmed with the good, the bad, and the ugly. OH MY!! All these little selves trying to play on a playground that has been taken over by bully small selves. Our personal cultures and our personal communties are getting very crowded with these bully children, now somewhat out of control.....So, as Sadhguru says, its about growing up and becoming responsible. Electricity, as he says, in the hands of a child is dangerous but in the hands of a responsible, mature adult, it can bring great gifts for the many. And energy, in the hands of spiritual visionaries, can take us to our next leap in consciousness. So this 65 billion year old energy is ready to move into a more light and spirit driven direction. Lord I hope so.

What is so enduring to me, reading and listening to the one voice in all these perspectives, is this beautiful message that our one voice, in the many, comes from, and please allow me this, LOVE....yes love. Think about it. Reading the Christian novel, Redeeming Love, my heart was just thrown wide open. It was the story of the power of love to transform. T.S. Eliot writes, "There is no vocabulary for love....love that's lived in but not looked at, love within the light of which all else is seen, the love within which all other love finds speech. This love is silent." This to me is what this beautiful, all empowering life force is about. Wakening us to what it really means to love one another; the way this one voice, one power, one impulse loves us. Hey, lets be honest here, the one appears to love to pro-create and ,mostly, it takes two to dance...hmm... and make love. 

It is through this deeper understanding, to me, of what it really means to love this process called life in the body form. To reach out and touch, smell, see, feel, think, grow, become; I could just go on and on with the joy of knowing that within me, is a power and love so great that right now, if it showed itself in all its power, I would explode. Literally explode with this awesome love. And, because I know it is the same within you, it makes me love you so much too.....we are the same, just going about life somewhat different, learning from a different point of view, so to speak. But, I see you, I do really see you; meaning that which is within me is the same love and light within you. So lets wake up together and create from this awesome love.

But one thing we can all agree upon is we do need to take action now. First within ourselves then with each other. The Golden Rule is still one of the best teachings around. Jesus is still my great hero as is the Buddha, and sooo many more who carry the resonnating one voice getting stronger and stronger. Its time to take our playgrounds and create more unified, adult communities. Integral Life and so many other forms committed to this awakening excites me so much. Yet, we must keep awakening this love thus opening the path for others to awaken, so they experiene this awesome power of love pulsating through them.

With all my love,

Mary Linda

Agreed

When I worked at a Christian Bookstore, "Redeeming Love" was a perpetual bestseller for all 6 years. Francine Rivers? But I don't read fiction so I never read it.

I can't see your post from this window, so I can't remember all you said, however, I do remember the sense of urgency. Erotic vision always seems to carry that. I used to be bathed in that much more so than I am now. Feeling that requires a very deep embodiment, which I seem to have lost. I think I've been too traumatized by embodiment to want to return, and I'm also in a relationship which doesn't feed that vision.

Sad.

But I do seem to be able - at least for now - to walk in the territory somewhat. For the past two weeks or so I've been embracing more, more, more, with less stress to my system. Right now, I have white supremicists (sp?) on my list of Facebook friends. Why? I don't know. They friended me for some reason. And while I know that my primitive survival impulses tend to cultivate this ability to the detriment of the rest of me, I have to say that I've never been able to care about that group and see their perspective before now and I think that's a perverse form of progress. This is a new low for me. LOL  They truly do need an enemy and if you take one away they will find another one, most likely in you, so it's difficult to converse with them. Very delicate. It's a weighty thing to condone the identification of an enemy because you know they need it and can't be sane without it. It's an expression of Love in their way of thinking. This is how they protect their tribe and themselves. Loving into that is profound and disturbing but not impossible the way it used to be for me.

I have to pull out, tho. The hate will turn on me eventually because I won't be able to hold it for long. I'm too traumatized. I'm just glad I can contain that perspective now, sick and destructive tho it is.

I think that the crowd who is all about oneness and love and such will have to make a similar leap before any kind of sharing of consciousness can take place. It is going to be impossible to get everyone to rise up to 2nd Tier. 2nd Tier has to be able to come down to them. This has always been the way of things.

Being Vulnerable!

Hello Jennifer and thanks for your very real comments. The book, Redeeming Love, came as a surprise on my kindle my children gave me for Christmas. I wasn't sure what to expect but felt so much heart opening reading it.

I agree that to feel the power of this pulsating energy, through our very being, one must do some kind of inner practice daily to embody and sustain this powerful force. But I'm curious why you feel you've lost it and how being in this embodiment has brought trauma for you.

If exclusive energies, appearing dark in their being are approaching, it maybe you're light is brighter than you think. You will need to work this through as to how you want to work with these energies, if at all.

It is sad when in partnership and that partnership is not aligned in direction and vision. But, just reading your words, my intution is you're very bright and know the right choices to make.

We can't deny that a powerful awakening is occuring within great numbers of humanity. The powerful resonnating vibration, I believe, will be great enough to act as a new center of gravity taking us into our next level of consciousness.

Much love to you,

Mary Linda

Thank you...

Thank you for holding this with me... I want to cry about this, but I can't. I've got some pain jammed down there real hard.

When I embody this gigantic, wide-open tenderness, I bleed out in a matter of seconds. I've been stabbed there so many times by people who are totally indifferent to my vulnerability. I can't do it. The Personai that hold that position for me have been tied up and thrown in the dungeon. They compromise my safety. I can't allow it.

In reality there is prolly a huge difference between dissociating and getting out of the way. But from here, it is all blurred. After I took a hit in my blog post the other day, I got jerked back again into that confused contraction. Now, I can't see well. Things I could see clearly 4 days ago are no longer on the map, much less in the territory.

This is why I avoid triggers and don't leave the house.

I agree that an amazing fresh resonance is gaining momentum. It's clear. But it cannot be that the enlightened ones will all climb into a balloon and float away - as most of the eschatological stories have hinted at. More likely, and more hopefully, we will all be reorganized by a higher order and thereby be able to descend deeper into what IS. Then we can love it until it releases the contraction. This is my most profound hope.

Hold Tight!

Jennifer I know your pain and suffering....as many on this planet now do...I will hold you tight and love you because I know the real love you seek in that which you already are....but, the paradox is, all our issues and shadows must be resolved and surrendered before we can embody and sustain this powerful, pulsating energy of light and love. I use these words Jennifer because they're the best words I have to give description to this depth of spiritual force within us all. I feel this loving force within you wanting to move through you with its urgency and resolve. I know you don't trust, and I can't blame you; it appears hurt and disappoinment are constant companions. Yet, that which is within you is the only thing that can save you....And, that sameness of love and light which is within me is what is reaching out to you now....it wants to awaken itself within you....you will use this loving essence to help so many once you are able to do the hard, and I mean hard, work of release and surrender.....but if I can do it, and so many others now committed to this resonance, so can you.

You're beautiful and you've tested so much externally only to be disappointed so many times. But you see, other people, unless they have truly sustained within them the driving force of love and compassion, cannot offer us what we are truly seeking. That is an inside job. The seed of an Oak cannot reach its potential from a Willow seed. It must trust the internal  hardware already within itself, from that higher force that sets it in motion.....And, we must trust it too.

With all my love,

All true and not unknown.

When I say, I can't. That doesn't mean I won't. It means its not possible. Things must be dislodged with help from outside myself. Some of that help I construct myself. Some I do not. It's like a Chinese Puzzle Box. Push here, pull there, and maybe it will open. There's no logic. Only hope. And patience.

Yes, there is a huge log-jam of good stuff waiting to be released. HUGE! And it will. It comes now in chunks. The only constant is my willingness and desire.

Beautifully Expressed

I shall hold you in my meditative space. I hear your strong determination and that strong will being pushed and pulled by that power deeper than will, hope and desire. It is the thrust of who you are.....but trust those that show up, reconize that light within them that will guide you deeper to final release. I"m in joy for you because I know what is there within you.

All my love Jennifer,

exploding love!

Dear Mary, thank you for that heart-felt sharing. Could relate to you. Keeping abreast (as far as possible) of the sage voices that are all telling the same thing... of the new emerging earth, there is one essential truth I distill from it all. 'There is no world out there'. The lightening of the planet consciousness happens as I work, fast and furious, within. And with so many of us doing the same, in increasing numbers, the explosion of love is happening.

I am experiencing more and more ease in my existance. Being and letting things be. I have created the context for myself to be 'nothingness'. And right now, my job is to keep myself clear. so I am continuously being the clearing, for work to happen in that space.

thanks and love,

Sukhvinder

What if?

Some say we exploded into existence.....I have this love song within, "Like a volcano, we come together with so much exploding love, flooding the planet with lava love and just what if....we change the world, we change the people, we change existence for you and me"......kinda silly maybe but possible......we emege transformed through this exploding love and we forge our new emerging earth, as you say.....

Thank you Sukhivinder for joining me in this belief that through heart-felt sharing we can relate different with each other....we explode this love......and you're so right, all our work is to become clearing vessels for this love to emerge and co-create the new earth.....JOY dear friend!!

With love,

Mary Linda

IN THE BEGINNING...

Dear Mary Linda, beautiful post. So good to be able to read you once more. Hello Jennifer always loved your creative energies. Thank you Sukhvinder, I feel it too!

Yes, what is this love that starts by loving itself so much in this seemingly small container, our human heart, that at some point we cannot keep it contained any longer? It explodes outwards and like water, it makes its way to many a dry and thirsty place. It vivifies us and in the process, it becomes more true to itself when we let it express itself fully. We extend ourselves to others and at the same time we are constantly falling in love. As we become more and  more able to express this all-consuming love our world - I think there are infinite ways - we become almost fearless, because we begin to realise that the Universe is a playful co-conspirator and therefore, it is always on our side. 

Light and Joy.

Marita.

Re: In The Beginning

Hello Marita, dear friend. How I love your comments....always you take an expression and build on it, creating and giving it more life and light.....the human heart as a small container that cannot be contained with the greater source of love and light. This excites me to see others feel this within themselves and then express how spirit moves them....thank you for this beautiful comment.

Thank you Jennifer and Sukhvinder.

All my love,

Mary Linda
