Awakening

Passion for the Divine Since the beginning of time, there has always been an ache, a cry from deep within, that beckons us to follow the call to ultimate Union with All that is Real, to merge with God, Our Heavenly Father. The cry does not go away, especially when we begin to pay attention and follow its gentle guidance. It leads us to the threshold of a door that unlocks the greatest mysteries within, secrets kept so deep that we were not even aware they were there. Love is the key that unlocks the door. It is a Love that could only be tasted as we thirst for and desire that perfect Union between ourselves and our Creator, God. It is a Love which activates the original beauty and goodness of our very Soul. The desire to know the world of Spirit while we are still inhabiting a body form becomes so overpoweringly intense that we thrill at the thought that each moment is filled with an opportunity to just glimpse a shadow of the face of God. Each day is permeated with the audible prayer to be free, free from all the distractions which have kept us prisoner of our own created world. Throughout this planet’s history all the great mystics, sages, and masters have quietly urged humanity to let go of the bondage of this world of form and seek only to dwell in the freedom of the world of Spirit and to merge with that ever-present energy of Love. This is Reality to a child of God. We merely need to let go of attachment to our self-centeredness, for there is a greater way to live, a way that shines forth naturally in all of creation. It is the way of God, filled with the gentle and caring touch of the Mother and the universal, unconditional Love of the Father. It is a way whereby we know all Beings on the planet as our brothers and sisters and respect all life forms, for they are the very essence of God, just as we are. We are One, truly. We cannot settle for any lesser way of living, for it would be untruthful. We stand ready to be so totally consumed by the Love for God that literally, all our selfishness and attachments are melted by the divine power of that Love. This vision lies deep within us all, waiting for the time of its awakening. What does it matter what color we are, what religion we practice or into what nation we are born? We are all children of God. Lo, we are the very essence of God Himself. It is time, now, to open to the manifestation of Union, to reclaim our divine heritage, to live Heaven on earth. We all dream of a time when Love is the only way of life, where caring for others comes before thoughts about ourselves and when loving God with all our heart and soul is our only focus. Our hearts weep silently at the apparent selfish ignorance of humanity, but at the same time, they rejoice, for that humanity is also ours, and we will not rest until all Beings know of the all-consuming Passion for the Divine, and we are free once more to Love. We are like the young humpback whale who was hopelessly caught in the warm waters of San Francisco Bay and was unable to find an exit and release from her plight. We, like her, will also be lured home, into that unending ocean of bliss by the very sound of our own cry, a deep, passionate cry for the Divine. It will gently lead us deeper and deeper in conscious awareness, into the state of Union with All, with God. There is no other way. Let us follow that call Home, for therein lies our only true joy.
