“The Kingdom of Heaven is at Hand”… is it really??  I mean, do I really know it to be true through my experiential “Being”?  The real answer to that question has often changed in my experience.  The word ‘temporary’ comes to mind.  In the world of forms almost everything has proven to be temporary, even from the standpoint of relationships.  While the truth of Love has never really changed at all, the earthly response has continually changed.
 

In man’s world we have co-created structures that have at times uncreatively directed its participants to remain in a form or a state that would not allow change.  The words of the marriage vows, “For better or worse, richer or poorer, in sickness and in health…” come to mind.  How many marriages have actually emulated those words?… not too many!  Subsequently, because of old and uncreative identity issues that have not greeted changes very well, unhappy, uncreative experiences have resulted.  One cannot engage anything or anyone completely and successfully without really being present without baggage–the old notions of how we thought that it needed to be.  In the experience of man heretofore, forms have held us captive because our identification was in them.
 

I have experienced some very strong lessons with respect to what the truth of my identity has been in times past, as it has pertained to forms.  One of my lessons came in the form of loosing files that were on my computer’s hard drive.  Oh yea, a person can really feel tested when they think and/or feel that they have lost something that they put a whole bunch of work into.  This “something” can be almost anything – writings, artwork, data files and, of course, a relationship with another person…!
 

Whenever the object is attainment versus creative expression, the experience of loss is almost unavoidable or inevitable because all forms change – Life is the expression of change in motion!  When I had the opportunity to visit Europe, I witnessed something that I felt was extraordinary.  This came through watching artists in Paris, France and Brugge, Belgium draw incredible artwork on sidewalks and streets that they literally worked on for several hours and sometimes days…knowing full well that the rains would soon come and wash away their artwork, almost as if it had never been created or expressed.  The artists were fine with that!  I feel that there is an incredible richness that can be learned, understood and known through this outworking.  It’s all about just being fully present and delivering the goods without being attached to the form of ‘those goods.’ The real ‘good’ is in “Being” present and the fullest expression of that “Being!”

A judge instructs a person to raise their right hand and swear to tell the truth…“so help you God!”  Now, in reality, all that a person is capable of, and actually responsible for from the standpoint of testimony in a courtroom setting, is telling what they believe to be the truth.  A lot has been built on the beliefs that many have had about what the truth is.  But, so often, we’ve subsequently learned through insight that we didn’t have a grasp on the truth.  Actually, wisdom may dictate that we never or very rarely have that which is the whole truth.  Errors have occurred when we have operated in a fashion that was predicated on building important things - actually, anything at all - on a foundation of mere belief!  A belief is an empty cavern that invariably collapses because of not being based in reality.  We have come up with some fantastic beliefs, but fantastic isn’t good – ‘fantastic’ means made out of fantasy… not real!
 

The wisest people that I know are the most humble and they are the first people to say that they don’t know.  Those who claim to live the truth are usually still trying to figure out what the truth really is.  The more I learn, the more that I realize how little I know.  Life allows One to connect to the Source of all things, so that what needs to be understood and known in the present moment can be known.  We all may have access to the place of knowing when we come to that place as One who is ready to be a vessel for Spirit’s expression.

The teachings of the late Bruce Lee come to mind once again:
 

The Path To Truth (Bruce Lee)
1.    Seeking after truth
2.    Awareness of truth (and its existence)
3.    Perception of truth (its substance and direction - like the perception of movement)
4.    Understanding of truth (A first-rate philosopher practices it to understand it - TAO. Not to be fragmented, but to see its totality - Krishnamurti)
5.    Experiencing of truth
6.    Mastering of truth
7.    Forgetting truth
8.    Forgetting the carrier of truth
9.    Return to the primal source where truth has its roots
10.    Repose in the nothing

Repose in the nothing?  Yes, that sums it up pretty well.  You don’t need to feel that you’re being rude to God by saying that One’s goal is to “repose in the nothing.” Because all that One needs to do is be completely open and available.  God doesn’t need our fancy words and certainly not any false platforms from the standpoint of beliefs.  All that is required is openness and appreciation.  There is a creative process under way and it’s called Life - and that is the truth!
 

For those of you who have clung to religious interpretations that claim the Christ needs to be sought through the names and ways that have been taught in the past, you may have missed the true message of Christ.  A good parent creates in themselves a strong role model so that the child may emulate their parent.  The Spirit of Christ is the Spiritual Guide and Brother of Man.  John 12:14 …“I tell you that he who trusts in me–the things which I do he shall do also; and greater things than these he shall do” …  ‘Trusting in Him’ is to take on His loving and caring characteristics.  It begins with repose in the nothing as we “together” step forward on the pathway of truth…

Hmmm, feeling that cycle once again…where things don’t seem to be aligned,,,not in sink?  It’s OK.  Shifts at many intrinsic levels may and do occur, and often beyond our understanding.  The human mind has been used to thinking that it had to have the security of knowing “the plan,” and preferably in advance.  However, the true plan is a living plan that is perfect – just perfect.  The key is to keep moving as the next step is revealed – but it’s just as important to be completely still when the next step to take is not yet clear.  The mind and heart have experienced disillusionment in times past.  This is the perfect signal from within to “let go and be still,” letting the waters once again be gathered to one place for the One through the Whole…
 

Really? Can you believe that?  Human engineering, at one time, might have had a person freaking out (so to speak), feeling like an issue or a plan needed to be pushed on through.  However, the Universe says, “Nay, just take a load off, buddy, and witness the salvation of Being – the salvation of the Lord…”  Amen? Amen!

In this day, as I pause and think of what components used to hold my impetus as a man and as a Divine Being then, it is different now.  The components may actually be similar, but the calling from within has changed.  The so-called education of the “enlightened” One, through my interpretation, gave me a mission to be the Light of my World.  But my old identity of true Light, as I look back, was more of a substitute that did not allow my full participation in this place that we call Life!  Full participation requires something more than just trying to solve what has been interpreted in times past as issues or problems.  In reality, there are no problems.  There are just opportunities with which to work.  The greatest of opportunities for me is the opportunity to just be real – to be honest with myself.  The meaning of these words, for me, has changed too.  Honestly is a gray area.  In the past, when I thought that I was being honest, I was looking through the vision  glasses of my consciousness then.  While a person aspires to having transparent vision glasses, the actual clarity can not be measured by what is seen.  The truth of vision requires perspective, or actually seeing beyond the form of all things to the place - the secret place -  where One’s Identity is formless.  The truest perspective must be one of formlessness.  It’s the place where all things are completed before the essence of them even creates a form through which to be expressed.
 

The truth of the feeling realm has not fully been known heretofore in my world and perhaps in the entire world of man.  In the past, there have been teachings to “suck it up,” so to speak. ” Hey, you’re not your feelings – so just let those feelings be burned up (oh yes, purified).”  There has been a lot of judgment for the good ol’ feeling realm.  “Oh, those are just feelings”.  How about, “These things too shall pass”?  Yea, I love that one!  Well, at times, there is probably rightly some burning or purifying that can creatively take place.  But what does the true purifying process really look like?  I’ll tell you one thing that it’s not!  It’s not about pretending that we don’t feel what we feel.  Have you been too worried about how you might look to another person and subsequently said everything that you thought someone wanted to hear or should hear – everything except for the actual truth?  I don’t think that I’m the only one who has done that before.  Even when I thought that I was clear of having an agenda, I have discovered through looking back that I, in fact, had an agenda.  There is a huge difference in the expression of a person (of the One) who really has no agenda to the expression of a person who has an agenda. Peace is impossible when an agenda is present.
 

Remember the feeling realm?  If it’s not clear within YOU, you can’t help but have an agenda.  Clarity means peace and PEACE is a big, big word - heretofore, it has been the rarest of experiences in the human experience!  Do you really think that you Love people?  Did you ever really let a person Love YOU for who YOU really are?  When there is an agenda or an image present, One cannot have the actual experience of Love! Are there things that you hold back from saying to others for fear of abandonment at some level?  The true experience of Love is not possible on such basis.
 

One can get caught up in thinking that “letting” things unfold takes a person off of the hook for being real honest.  While we don’t need to go around imposing ’stuff’ on others, we still must allow ourselves to be naked and vulnerable through sharing what’s really present in our experience.  There’s an art in doing this.  It has much to do with taking responsibility for our feelings – but in so doing, asking another or others for their assistance.  In other words, One can put forth how they’re feeling without trying to pin the root of it on something or someone else.  People’s issues are completely solvable on this basis.  It takes being honest enough to be vulnerable through the spirit of humility.  Every person’s issues are everyone’s issues.  And when we allow two or more to be gathered in His Name, the issues that need to be resolved find resolve!  His Name is Love.  Things get clarified and healed in Love!  A heart is often painted on statues and other images that represent the Master.  The Master is Love!  And I cannot Love YOU unless I learn how to Love ME first!  The real ME has real thoughts and real feelings, and each One can say that.  Each One must honor the truth of that.  Candor is not pointing a finger.  True candor is sharing from the Heart!

Tears Falling From Their Face 

I looked up into the sky and saw tears falling from an eagle’s face

The eagle looked down and said to me – have you forgotten your place?

I then looked straight ahead and saw a great bear - he too had tears falling from his face

The bear looked over at me and said - as mighty as I am, it was you who was given the privilege to take care of this place

Shocked by his words I looked down to the ground and saw a serpent that was laughing at me as tears began to roll down my face

The serpent looked straight at me and said - dry your tears silly man - all that you need to do is find your true Grace

As I dried my tears the eagle, bear and serpent joined as One and spoke to me saying - stay present in Grace and you will always know how to take care of this place

In these days, we are becoming more and more aware of cycles.  We have used the symbols of water, air, earth and fire to describe the creative process.  Water is the symbol of truth, air the symbol of Spirit; earth is the symbol of form or manifestation and fire is the symbol of Love.
 

While cycles are often singled out as we describe their characteristics, the spirit or impetus of all four cycles can be seen operating through the creative process in multiple aspects of life.. In this sense, we may observe cycles within cycles and natural rhythms that are apparent.
 

It is important to allow the ways of looking at life’s outworking, as determinations are reached, in a fluid fashion such that an attitude of acceptance ultimately overrides any instances where dissonance is apparent.  While dissonant episodes or time periods may include what seems experientially to be a  “burning” resolution, there is always the “Blue” or the cool of the flame that may host our identification from the standpoint of the “Whole!”  This composes a snapshot of the truth of Life’s ongoing lesson.  I may stand in the place that declares that all is indeed well and I may know through creative participation that, “Unconquerable life prevails.”  This describes the experience of Being present and active in Heaven!

In the beginning of an Attunement, an Attunement Practitioner asks (usually silently) permission from the Attunement receiver’s spirit to enter their sacred space.  I have thought more about this of late and feel that this very specific step holds great importance.  I feel that two things may occur through the outworking of this directive.  First, the Attunement Practitioner is setting a Heaven of respect, Love and invitation.  Then, the invitation is an acknowledgment that a sacred space already exists.  Whatever One acknowledges expands and/or opens.
 

As an Attunement Practitioner gets more deeply into the creative field of Attunement, a realization emerges that Attunement is much more than simply an energetic technique–It is a way of Life!  That being so, One often starts looking at all of Life as being a setting where aspects of Attunement are rightly and most creatively utilized.  Think of the humility that a person automatically provides as their attitude provides the atmosphere of, “May I Enter Your Sacred Space.”
 

While there are indeed many different personalities present in this world and different ways of looking at what sacred space means or can mean, we all have an opportunity to discover this invaluable consideration in a new and deeper way – which may afford us the privilege of spiritual evolution.
