The Universal Law of Higher Will

Being in Alignment with the Universal Law of Higher Will.

     The Universal Law of Higher Will supports us in surrendering the personal preferences and desires of our lower self. Through the process of surrendering what we think we want, we focus instead on our higher will which always aligns with the greatest good of all. It is not just a surrendering of attitude; it is a surrendering of inaction as we become willing to actively step up and support the higher good. Thus we take appropriate action steps with our intention consciously aligned with the best interests of all.

     This Law requires us to set aside our personal desires that loom at the forefront of our minds and to instead shift our perspective to include the planet, the universe, and beyond. The more we practice living by this Law, the broader our perspective becomes. It becomes second nature to make the greater good the priority. As we continue to live this intention, our own personal desires automatically align with the greater good because this has become our primary focus.
     I invite you to spend time this week focusing on the sacred geometry light grid pictured above as you asked to become more closely aligned with the Universal Law of Higher Will. The colored shapes in this Pearlescent Compass Light Language Grid are made of colored light and are three-dimensional in form. Each shape and each color carries a particular vibrational frequency and has been chose to support the master directional energies (listed below) of your internal GPS navigational system as they relate to the Universal Law of Higher Will. 

North:  Connection and Creating

North East:  Commitment and Discipline

East:  Love and Spirit/Earth

South East:  Details and Follow-Through

South:  Grounding and Action

South West:  Relationships and Communication

West:  Healing and Lesson/Knowledge

North West:  Intention and Decision/Desire

     I encourage you to focus on these directional energies in conjunction with the Universal law of Higher Will and the above grid of colored light. Allow the energies of this array of colored shapes to connect you more deeply and more actively with the greater good of all. Consciously ask, "What in me needs to shift in order for me to be aligned with the highest good of all?" Then allow new insights to fill your awareness throughout the week to come, knowing that your growing desire to become more aligned with the higher good of all represents your innate ability to do so. The more you align with the greater good, the more you will glow from within, inspired by the purpose of your soul to assist in the ascension process of humanity, the planet, the universe, and the cosmos.

Reflections on the Universal law of Higher Will

     In reflecting on the Universal Law of Unconditional Love, I suggested that it is ok to step back from direct interactions within a relationship when the other person's behavior is inappropriate and/or abusive. At first glance, this stepping back appears to go against the Universal Law of Higher Will because one is being guided by their personal preference of how they wish to be treated. In this instance, you are aligned with the higher good if you truly believe that you are facilitating a useful lesson for the other person and if you believe/know that by standing up for yourself, you serve as a beacon of light to others going through a similar situation.

     It all comes down to the intention behind the action you take. Are you running away or are you empowering yourself so that you can better go on to empower others? Are you focused on solutions or are you focused on the problem? Is it in the greater good for you to step back in order to better serve your community in other ways?

The Universal Law of Unconditional Love

Being in Harmony with the Universal Law of Unconditional Love.

     The Universal Law of Unconditional Love is about loving ourselves and others as we/they are, without judgments, conditions, or expectations. Unconditional love is not only a Law; it is a condition of reality; that is, it is an energy that permeates creation--an energy which is readily available to us from Source whenever we choose to tap into it. We tap into this never-ending flow of unconditional love each time we honor ourselves and others. We widen the flow of the unconditional love we experience the more we consciously agree to accept ourselves and each other as we are, perhaps agreeing to disagree on the specifics of being in order to more deeply connect with the greater truth of who we truly are underneath our differences. 

     It is easy to honor one another when we keep in mind that we do not have the full picture. We are not able to hold in our consciousness everything a soul has been through up to the time they are standing before us. We do not always see the whole picture of how their current role supports the unfolding of the Divine Order of the universe. Maybe they are a highly evolved spiritual being who volunteered to take on a life of challenges in order to clear the generational dna of an entire family. Or maybe they took on the role of persecutor this lifetime to teach others how not to be. Perhaps you yourself signed up for challenges as a way of supporting the greater good--and so why do you judge yourself so harshly?

     The Universal Law of Unconditional Love also requires that we love freely and openly without restraint. God is love and we are expressions of that Love. Why then do we hold it back? It is our true nature to allow love to flow freely through us. When we do this, we maintain a deep connection with our higher self. From this connected state of unconditional love for all we encounter, we notice that we say and do the right things at the right times. We are in sync with the world around us and our life flows with grace and ease.
     I invite you to spend time this week focusing on the sacred geometry light grid pictures above as you ask to experience the energy of unconditional love to flow in you and through you. The colored shapes in this Pearlescent Compass Light Language Grid are made of light energy and are three-dimensional in form. Each shape and each color carries a particular vibrational frequency and has been chosen to adjust the master energies (listed below) of your internal GPS navigational system as they relate to the Law of Unconditional Love:

North: Creating and Connection

North East: Discipline and Commitment

East: Spirit/Earth and Love

South East: Follow-Through and Details

South: Action and Grounding

South West: Communication and Relationships

West: Lesson/Knowledge and Healing

North West: Decision/Desire and Intention

     I encourage you to focus on these directional energies in conjunction with the Law of Unconditional Love and the above grid of colored light. Allow the energies of this array of colored shapes to connect you more deeply with the flowing love that is your true nature. Consciously ask, "What needs to shift around each directional energy for you to become the unconditional flow of love that you are?" As new insights come through to you, the process of allowing will unfold.

Reflections on Unconditional Love 
     My lesson this week around the Universal Law of Unconditional Love involved maintaining healthy boundaries while continuing to love freely and openly. Unconditional love includes loving ourselves enough to stand up for what we believe. It is important that we love ourselves enough to stand in our power by maintaining high standards for how we are treated. We are free to walk away when others fail to treat us with the respect and attention we desire. This does not mean that we stop loving the other person unconditionally; we can continue to love them from a distance. But if they are unable to be appropriate in their interactions with us, we are not required to subject ourselves to abuse--silent or expressed. It is possible to place conditions on our time and energy without placing conditions on our love.
     Of course we can communicate with the other person and let them know how we feel. We can request a change in behavior and can be patient while we give them the opportunity to shift the behavior in question. We can also support them in their efforts to change. The important distinction is that we are setting conditions on behavior, not on being. We can still completely and fully love them for who they are--a precious child of God--without condoning inappropriate behavior. And we can require that behavior change in order for us to continue our interactions with them. This requirement is independent of the love we feel for them. We continue to love them unconditionally, whether or not they change and whether or not we continue to spend time with them. 
     We express unconditional love when we keep them in our prayers and when we continue to wish for them blessings of light and healing. Just as we continue to love our children even when we are angry at them for breaking a rule put in place for their own good, so we can continue to love all of God's children in spite of their misguided transgressions. We recognize that everyone is innately worthy of love. We send this love out to all freely, without discrimination; we then discern whether or not we choose to spend our time and energy directly with them or whether we prefer to maintain a healthy distance as a way of supporting our own personal energy and unconditionally loving ourselves.

   

The Universal Law of Balance

Being Centered in the Universal Law of Balance.

     The Universal Law of Balance, also referred to as the Law of Equipoise or the Law of Fair Exchange, reminds us that we are all equal and that love is the great equalizer. The amount of love with which we allow our thoughts to be created and expressed is the key that balances our thoughts. It is also the key to listening as others share their thoughts with us. Anchored in love, we are able to listen to all viewpoints without feeling we must defend our own. When we maintain that state of love during the giving and receiving of thoughts, we are able to be strong within our knowing of who we are and what our purpose is here on earth. Remaining centered in love, we enjoy an appropriately strong sense of self-esteem. We see ourselves as we truly are, not more than or less than anyone else. We honor our own personal journey as it continues to unfold and we honor others where they are in their journey. We see others as they are and we celebrate their presence and their contribution to our lives.

     Addiction is one way this Law can become misaligned. Through addiction we seek an outside energy to distract us from our path and from our truth. We can easily become addicted to our thoughts. We mistake them for who we are so that we easily become distracted lose touch with the love that is our true nature. The Universal Law of Balance states that "Every thought must be balanced by whoever creates it." Without the balancing energy of love, thoughts can easily pull us off center in such a way that our thoughts become separated from the love that we are. Much like a drug addict can only focus on that next hit, we become fixated on our thought processes so that they govern our energies and cause us to be out of balance. We gradually let go of our addiction to thought patterns each time we center ourselves in love. When the power of our love matches the power of our thoughts, we come into balance. From this place of centeredness, we are clear about our place in the world. From this stable space of knowing, we are then able to manifest successfully at our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual goals here on earth.

     The colored shapes in the Pearlescent Compass Light Language Grid pictured above are made of light and are 3-dimensional in nature. Each shape and color carries a particular vibrational frequency and has been chosen to adjust the master energies of your Pearlescent Compass internal GPS system. Each colored shape corresponds to one of the pairings of energies listed below as this pairing relates to the Universal Law of Balance.

North: Creating and Connection

North East: Discipline and Commitment

East: Spirit/Earth and Love

South East: Follow-Through and Details

South: Action and Grounding

South West: Communication and Relationships

West: Lessons and Healing

North West: Decision/Desire and Intention

     I encourage you to spend time this week sensing the energies of this grid while focusing on these directional energies as they relate to the Universal Law of Balance. Are your thoughts balanced with love? What happens when you drop into your heart? Does the energy shift? Pause throughout the week and check the balance between love and thought. Notice how the more you allow love into the mix, the more you are able to manifest the reality you choose.

The Universal Law of Fixation

Being in Harmony with the Universal Law of Fixation.

     The Universal Law of Fixation has to do with the link between our higher and lower natures and involves the time of our rebirth as it is governed by one of the seven laws of the solar system. This Universal Law determines our time of birth and the astrological influences that result from this timing. The implication here is that the time of our birth is in some way significant to our soul evolution. This Law thus supports the principles of astrology and suggests that the positioning of the stars and planets at the time of our birth is in some way influential to our spiritual development. According to this Law, the time of our rebirth affects the mental aspect of our existence and relates to the karma we are working through.

     This Law also states that as we focus on thoughts of a higher order, so we create that reality. Conversely, focusing on lower-order thoughts creates a reality of a lower vibration. Our thoughts create our future and affect our karma which in turn affects our next rebirth. And so the cycle continues. It is the cycle that is fixed; how we move within that cycle is our choice and is determined by our thoughts. Although we are bound by the time of our birth this lifetime, we are free to make choices of thoughts that spiral us upward or downward, ultimately determining the time of our rebirth for our next lifetime. The fixation occurs in the relationship between our thoughts and the future that unfolds as a result of these thoughts. Our thoughts create our reality--this truth is fixed throughout the solar system.

     I invite you to spend time this week focusing on the Light Language Compass Grid pictured above. The colored shapes depicted in this grid are made of light energy and are 3-dimensional in nature. Each shape and each color carries a particular vibrational frequency and has been chosen to adjust the energetic alignment of your Pearlescent Compass, an internal GPS system that brings you into harmonious resonance with your Divine Direction and Soul Path. The master energies of your Pearlescent Compass are listed below. Pay attention to the thoughts and the impact they have in relation to the Universal Law of Fixation. Consider this Law as it relates to the master energies of your Pearlescent Compass:

North: Connection and Creating

North East: Commitment and Discipline

East: Love and Spirit/Earth

South East: Details and Follow Through

South: Grounding and Action

South West: Relationships and Communication

West: Healing and Lesson/Knowledge

North West: Intention and Decision/Desire

     Pause to reflect: are you spiraling upward, working through your karma and through the lessons brought through the negative astrological aspects related to your time of birth, or are you spiraling downward, allowing these influences to rule your life? Every thought is a choice capable of moving you to higher realms of being and doing. Choose wisely from a place of empowerment.

Reflections on the Law of Fixation

     I have always been frustrated by people who use aspects of their astrological chart as an excuse to remain stuck within a pattern or situation. Astrology is a wonderful tool to gain self-awareness and to recognize the patterns that are running in our lives. But the forces put upon us by the stars and planets can be matched and even surpassed by our thoughts put into action. We are not victims of our birth. We are active participants who created the reality of the time when we were born and our resulting alignment with the stars and planets in that moment. Throughout our life our choices continue to empower or dis-empower us in relation to this planetary alignment and so we have the potential to transcend astrological influences once we are conscious of the patterns they create and once we make higher-order choices to move us beyond these patterns.

     During my four-and-a-half-year apprenticeship with Master Spiritual Teacher Starr Fuentes, people often emailed astrological information in relation to scheduling various events. Starr always maintained that we should not create our schedules from a place of fear, worrying that mercury retrograde or some other such influence would wreak havoc on our plans; rather she said it was good to be informed of the energies at play and that armed with that information, we are powerful enough to override these influences by maintaining positive thoughts and expectations. The lesson here is that when you know what you are dealing with, you are then able to focus your energy so that you can triumph.

The Universal Law of One

 

 

Consciously Being One with the Universal Law of One.

     The Universal Law of One states that All is One and All is of God. All parts of the self are of God. The lower self is of God and the Higher Self is of God. All in the Universe is One with God. All activities of the earth are of God. Everything in creation is set into motion by the Breath of God. The presence of God that permeates everything unites all aspects of creation in Oneness. Our inherent nature pulls our awareness toward a knowing of the Oneness. Even those energies and patterns that we judge to be negative are of God in that they serve to provide contrast that ultimately inspires us to bring our consciousness back to God, uniting us once again with the Universal Consciousness of All of Creation.

     Instead of thinking in terms of polar opposites, think of negative energies as the flip-side of a coin. These negative energies eventually prompt us to seek another way. And so we turn the coin over and begin to express the corresponding positive energy that relates to that old negative energy from which we have turned away. We ultimately come to embrace (but not condone) the negative energies with gratitude for the lesson that they have taught us as we choose now to live in the positive, light-filled aspects. Through this process we come to accept all that we encounter. We appreciate what teaches us how not to be and we appreciate what teaches us how to BE. Through this appreciation, we come to know that everything is connected and so we move into a greater state of Oneness with all that we encounter.

     Consider this week those energies that you judge as "bad" or "wrong" and consider how these judgments create greater separation from the people around you. Ask to know how this energy fits into the bigger picture. What lesson is it here to teach? What hidden gift does it carry? In what way does it bring us back to Oneness with God?  

     Spend time this week focusing on the Light Language Compass Grid pictured above. The colored shapes in this grid are made of light energy and are 3-dimensional in nature. Each shape and each color carries a particular vibrational frequency and has been chosen to adjust the energy of your Pearlescent Compass, an internal GPS system that brings you into alignment with your Divine Direction and Soul Path. The master energies of your Pearlescent Compass are listed below. Consider throughout the coming week how these energies relate to the Law of One:

North: Creating and Connection

North East: Discipline and Commitment

East: Spirit/Earth and Love

South East: Follow-through and Details

South: Action and Grounding

South West: Communications and Relationships

North West: Decision/Desire and Intention

Reflections on the Law of One

     In 1997, I had an experience that changed my life. I was in a desperate state, unsure how I was going to raise my young daughter on my own after her father abandoned us. I repeated over and over again the only two prayers I knew: the Our Father and the Hail Mary (I taught Catholic school before my daughter was born and so I knew this prayer well even though I was not Catholic).

     As I repeated the prayer over and over again, I began seeing colored shapes similar to the ones in the grids I now work with. They appeared in patterns of seven and each shape emanated a musical tone which created a melody that played over and over again. Eventually the pattern of seven would switch to a different set of seven colored shapes with a new melody. I became mesmerized by what I was experiencing and I suddenly had the experience of traveling out into the far reaches of the Universe and beyond. As I expanded outward beyond planets and star systems and galaxies, I had the experience of simultaneously traveling inward into the innermost reaches of subatomic space. It was as if I knew everything there was to know. The mysteries of creation raced through my awareness faster than I could find words to express them. This entire experience lasted 3 1/2 days. Starr says I had a Vision Quest without a shaman to guide me. When it ended and I came out of the altered state I was in, I could only grasp two phrases of all of the information that had flooded my mind these last few days: 

ALL IS ONE

and

EVERYTHING IS A PARADOX

     I instantly recognized that these two phrases were saying the same thing--that a paradox unites two seemingly opposite ideas into a unified concept so that opposites come together in Oneness. The Universe was showing me that everything is made of opposites and that these opposites ultimately join together in one unified truth. While the intense energies and the volumes of information that flooded through my mind during that experience have long since faded, those words remain etched in my awareness. ALL IS ONE. Everything I do is motivated by an intense desire to experience that Oneness--to merge with the light and love of Source as I did during that kundalini-type experience.

     I have had many experiences since then in which I know that Oneness. Some last for hours, some for days, and some for weeks and months. Each time I slip out of it, I long to reconnect. Thus separation becomes connection and so the paradox lives and All is One again.

    

    

The Universal Law of Action

Putting the Universal Law of Action into Action.

     The Universal Law of Action states that, "No matter what we feel or know, no matter what our potential gifts or talents, only action brings them to life." This Law celebrates the importance of action steps as a way of bringing consciousness into physical form. It is not enough to believe or know something in our mind; action is required to bring it into existence. Our talents and gifts are useless until they are put into material expression through the physical steps we take. 

     We can spend all day dreaming about the spiritual center we hope to have someday. We can use positive affirmations and creative visualizations to support our goal. But what specific actions have we taken for it to materialize? Have we saved up enough money to buy it or applied for a loan? Have we researched other spiritual centers in the vicinity? Have we written up a formal business plan and solicited backers? Have we become actively involved in the spiritual community where we plan to have our center? Are we made a list of all of the maintenance and behind-the-scenes work required to keep a center going and are we prepared to carry out that list?

     The Mayan Curanderos describe the layers of reality as an upside-down pyramid with the broadest part representing the spiritual realms and the point representing the physical/material plane. Our prayers gather in the upper portion of that upside-down pyramid. The energies build but only at that spiritual level. In order to bring those spiritual energies down to earth, we have to take appropriate action steps. There are different types of action: phyyscal, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Spiritual actions (prayer, meditation) build energy in the broad spiritual portion of the energy body. Conscious thoughts and beliefs about our goal brings the energy down to the next layer of the upside-down pyramid. Positive emotions and feelings about our goal brings the energy down to the next level of our pyramid. And physical action brings it fully down to the tip of that pyramid where it can now manifest on earth.

     It is not enough to maintain positive thoughts and have good intentions. As spiritual beings having a physical experience, we want to make our spiritual presence felt by our fellow spiritual beings who are also having a physical experience. Don't just dream images; paint them so that others may see. Take the actions necessary to translate your visions into physical form for others to enjoy.

     Without appropriate physical action steps, our goals remain as energy potential hovering in the upper recesses of our inverted pyramid. It is the blend of action and focused intention that brings these goals into physical form. One way that we can be out of harmony with the Law of Action is that we can be overly active without directed intention. In that case we run aimlessly in circles, busy all the time but never accomplishing anything. We will explore this phenomenon at a later date when we examine the Universal Law of Intention.

     Spend time this week journaling about the Universal Law of Action. Journaling is a physical action that will activate your follow-through, bringing your ideas, dreams, and goals into expressed form. The colors and shapes of the above Pearlescent Compass Light Language Grid have been carefully select for the particular vibrations and energies that they carry as they relate to the master energies of your internal GPS system, listed below:

North: Creating and Connection

North East: Discipline and Commitment

East: Spirit/Earth and Love

South East: Follow-through and Details

South: Action and Grounding

South West: Communication and Relationships

West: Lessons and Healing

North West: Decision/Desire and Intention

     I encourage you to focus on these directional point energies in conjunction with the Law of Action and this grid of colored light. The grid will bring you more into harmony with taking appropriate action. Not only will you be clear about the next appropriate step to take; you will find enjoyment of doing it, knowing that you are supporting yourself at a soul level.

Reflections on the Law of Action
    In contemplating this Law, I am once again struck by the difference between "doing" and "being." When we act from a place of "doing," our work may or not be accomplished. Sometimes there is a sense of urgency that accompanies our action and this urgency brings a negative energy into what we are doing. And sometimes there is resistance to the action.  Either we allow resistance to block us by giving in to procrastination or we push through the resistance with an energy of force that then creates more negative energy.
     When we act from a place of "being" rather than "doing," everything flows with grace and ease. We are in the zone. We move from one step to the next with clarity of purpose, clear about what needs to be handled in any given moment. We do not get overwhelmed because we come to trust that we will remember or know what to do when the time is ripe for it.
     My teacher Starr Fuentes often says that the difference between an apprentice and a master is that and apprentice is always doing--so much so that he ends up with "do-do" all over his face. A master, on the other hand, is focused on being and in that being, action unfolds naturally.
     I spent the last 4 1/2 years as apprentice to Starr, a woman who tends to lose touch with the earthly concept of time and who usually wants everything five minutes ago. In always striving to please her, I was guilty of having a lot of "do-do" on my face a lot of the time, especially in the beginning.
     I have paused throughout this week, grateful for the lessons that I learned from her. Through her being-ness she taught me to surrender to the flow and to trust that I will receive reminders from my guides, angels, or from the environment about the things that need to be handled in any given moment. I learned that the most important thing is to step up with ready willingness to serve and then to follow through. I also learned that no matter how tired I think I am, if I step up and show up, the energy needed to complete a given task is there for me.
     What a remarkable way to live! I realize that I don't have to try to control everything; I don't have to "do" it all myself. I can be in the flow and then the appropriate actions become a graceful dance with Spirit. I now trust God to provide the energies and opportunities and I trust myself to take action appropriately. What a shift from years ago when I alternated between being too depressed to act on anything and being so manic that I performed a myriad of random actions that were to no avail. Coming into greater alignment with the Universal law of Action has made a huge difference in my life; may it do/be the same for you.

The Universal Law of Economy

 Transcending the Universal Law of Economy.

     The Universal Law of Economy is a Law we are all subject to until the point when we learn how to master it. Just as some mystics learn levitation, thus overriding the physical plane law of gravity, so we may strive for liberation from the Law of Economy that initially governs all physical matter.

     The Law of Economy focuses on the activity of matter, considered to be opposite in nature to the energy of Spirit. The natural governing principle of the matter of the cosmos is for individual particles to separate from each other. Particles of matter thus dissociate from one another, each maintaining its own type and quality of vibration, rhythm, and rotation. An oak tree rmains an oak tree and does not morph into a cactus. In the physical realm of matter, the process of separaton is the path of least resistance. Matter always follows this path until a higher spiritual energy is applied.

     One step to achieving enlightenment is the mastering of this Law. When we can bring through spiritual energies strong enough to move us beyond physical separation, we become One with the matter around us. Boundaries of separation drop away, as in the case of the Buddha as he became One with the tree under which he sat.

     Take time to consider: in which ways are you ready to allow Spirit to bring you into a heightened state of Oneness with the people, places, animals, plants, and events in your life? While we may remain physically separate due to the effects of this Law, energetically and spiritually we are all connected. As you fcus on this spiritual connection, do you notice the walls of separation dropping away? Perhaps you have had the experience of placing your hand on your thigh during meditation and losing track of where your hand ends and where your leg begins. Perhaps you have had this experience while out in nature or while doing hands-on energy healing with clients.

     Focus on the Light Language Compass Grid pictured above and ask for these experiences to be brought into the forefront of your awareness. Notice these moments as they occur throughout the week.

      The colored shapes in this Pearlescent Compass Light Language Grid are made of light and are three-dimensional in form. Each shape and each color carries a particular vibrational frequency and has been chosen to adjust the master energies of your Pearlescent Compass, listed below, as they relate to the chosen Universal Law.

North: Creating and Connection

 North East: Discipline and Commitment

East: Spirit/Earth and Love

South East: Follow-through and Details

South: Action and Grounding

South West: Communication and Relationships

West: Lesson/Knowledge and Healing

North West: Decision/Desire and Intention

     I encourage you to focus on these directional energies in conjunction with the Law of Economy and this grid of colored light. The grid will support your transcendence of this Law as you consider: What needs to shift in relation to each of these energies in order for you to transcend this Law? This particular array of colored shapes align us with the energies of Spirit that carry us beynd separation, back into a state of Oneness.

Reflections on the Law of Economy

     In high school I read about transcendence and the story of the Buddha becoming One with the tree. Intellectually I thought I understood his experience even though I had never had this experience myself. You know how it is when you're in high school--you think you know everything because you saw it on tv or read it in a book.

  

     Years passed. At this point I was a massage therapist who specialized in hands-on energy work. As I worked with my hands on a client, I often had the experience of not being able to feel where my hands ended and their body began. It was as if we were connected as one body. In these moments I could feel everything that was happening inside of them--not only at the location of where my hands rested, but throughout their body. 

     Then I attended a Deeksha event in Covington, Louisiana. Deeksha, also referred to as the Oneness Blessing, is an energy transmission that shifts brain functioning and brings ne into a greater state of Oneness. After receiving the transmission for the first time, I was instructed to go outside and connect with nature. I walked out onto the deck and focused my attention on a large oak tree about 20 feet away. I was struck by its beauty and as I thanked it for its presence, I suddenly knew what the tree was feeling. I knew how it felt in its trunk and how it felt in its branches and how it felt in its leaves. My feet knew the sensation of its roots absorbing water from the wet ground. My skin tickled as two squirrels chased each other up into its branches. As I experienced these sensations, my heart was wide open and verflowing with love for everyone and everything. Was this similar to the Buddha's experience? 

     This feeling of connectedness lasted for six weeks or so before it began to fade. I went to India and became a Deeksha/Oneness Blessing facilitator so that I could go deeper into the experience and share it with others. I drift in and out of Oneness, grateful for the moments that I am in that state of connection and also grateful for the events in my life that move me to seek greater connection. I am aware that in perceived times of separation, I am ever more eager to connect back into Oneness. Awareness of separation becomes the catalyst for discovering what needs to shift in order to move back into blissful connection. I recognize the times of feeling ruled by the Law of Economy as opportunities to strengthen my commitment to Divine Connection; in so choosing, the energy of Oneness unfolds in deeper, more profound ways.
