It is easy to get caught up in human dogma. One such is the meaning of words/terms. The translation or interpretation can entirely change the meaning of an idea. Words carry power as humans attach intention behind the selection. If one listens to this usage through his heart center, it is seen without emotion. One may analyze the content in his head but must weigh it in his heart for clarity. Humans often misconstrue meanings because they allow their emotions to lead the way. When one analyzes why he feels a certain way, he allows himself to see past emotion and to its intent or purpose. Therefore, he gets to the root of the situation. By exploring emotions, one enables himself to remove old patterns, belief systems, and things no longer needed. He frees himself to move on. Inner exploration is crucial to inner growth/maturity/wisdom. Outside sources might encourage inner exploration, but these sources, in and of their own, will not do the work. One must do this work on his own. Within is where one’s treasure is buried. For the jewel hidden within is his Divine Essence. This is the treasure one must seek. This is truth. This is love. This is you.

We are Love
We – you – are people of Earth. We feel her pain. We feel her joy. We are her heartbeat. We are the wind, her breath. She lives through each of us, and each of us through her. We are the flow of the river, above and beneath the ground; the eternal spring of living water. We are the roots of the trees which ground us in place and wings of the birds which grant us freedom. We are the beauty of every bloom. See, we are the blood, the breath, and the beauty. We are the physical forces of nature in its rawest power. We are her. She is us. We are one. Remember this. Feel her heart beat in your chest. Feel her blood flow through your veins. Feel her roots pull you. Feel her wings give you flight. Feel her. Remember her. Remember who you are. You contain the force of a storm and the gentleness of a pond. You know how and when to use each one. The choice is yours. While there is a time for all things, all these things must spring from love. For love is the beginning, the now, and the future. For the mother (Earth) is love. She nurtures from such as well as disciplines. She is love in its original state. She is the basis of this world. Humans distorted her purpose. Remember her love. Remember her purpose. For her love and her purpose is yours. For you are her, and you are us…we are one. We are love.
The Beauty of You
Stay true to your path; acknowledge the needs of your soul. Spirit will lead you where you need to be. Jump in the river, so to speak – you have the strength to swim the current. No need to fight against it. It will guide you to the exact place you need to be. The river is within you. It is not an outside force. It is a single stream which runs through your soul. This is your true knowing within. This river is home; all your spirit needs is sourced from this bed of living water. Drink. Bathe. Know you are one with it. Trust, this is your true essence. No outside influence can equip you to better know yourself. No matter what they think they know, they know not YOUR bigger picture. This image is a tiny seed within. You are unfurling one petal at a time, and will fully bloom in your own timing. This way is specifically designed for you, not dictated by others. There is no need to explain your path to anyone. Keep swimming; it’s more difficult to tread water than swim with the current. You are not only the swimmer; you are the river. The current is your power. Both the water lily and the lotus move with the water. The lily leaves lie flat with the surface while the lotus rises above the level. Both bloom. Their leaves and flowers distinctly differ, yet they symbolize all that is true. They are nurtured by the water and nurture the water in return. Know you are worthy. Know you are loved beyond measure. Stay true to your essence.
The Grasp of Love
Earth supports man. Man must reciprocate this energy. It is this energy exchange that heals and balances both. If one, instead of exhausting all efforts before turning to love, approaches all through love, he will often see his answer before the question arises. This is the process of ancient forests. Each tree does this in cooperation with the whole. They understand the cycle of life and integration of all systems within the forest. They act accordingly, each supporting one another. They communicate on a level most humans do not comprehend. When one makes a decision based on the highest good of all, he invites others to join him. They co-create an environment of healing which harmonizes all. This change builds better worlds. While man lives in a busy world and may think he has little time to make a positive impact, this one simple act of love benefits not only humankind but all he touches. Will you be one to reach out and touch the world with love?
Morning Has Risen
We have embarked upon a new day. More are choosing love. Bygones are forgotten as we walk into this day. Wth the sun comes opportunity. Those who have chosen love have cast away fear. They are experiencing tremendous spiritual growth. As their sense of self strengthens so does connection to Source. This trajectory of mankind is a necessary step in the evolution of Earth. As we heal, Earth heals. Not everyone welcomes change. He who does not must not be judged or criticized. He must be viewed through the eyes of love for he, too, will find his way. The expansion of love among the many will prepare the path for other hearts and eyes to open. Each must claim his ‘eyes to see’ and ‘ears to hear’. As each lights the candle within, we light up the world.
The Return of Love
There was once a day when man roamed the earth with his senses intact. When he felt the wind, he heard the words of its tongue. When he heard the crackle of fire, heat rose within his body. When he drank of the stream, he felt its life force. When he walked upon the sacred ground, her heart beat through his. He was one with Earth, for he was all of the elements. He understood love in both her caresses and her discipline. He was one with nature. People have turned their love and respect away from Earth and into themselves. Not in an inner journey but in an outer, physical egotistical direction, away from all that is sacred and sustaining. Man must find his way back to what is important, to the love that is life giving and sustaining, to the principles of our true nature. There has remained a small stream, and a trickle is returning to the flow to reestablish the great river of life; a connection of love and harmony. This includes self and others, a nurturing balance of systems within humans and nature. The time is upon us – the sun has begun to set and will rise again. With each new day, restoration continues. One must breathe this in to his lungs’ full capacity and release all that no longer serves him. The new man is being created to not to live “on” Earth but to live “with” Earth. For their hearts will begin to beat as one. We walk with you. You step in our footsteps, and we step in yours. We see you. We feel you. We are you, and you are us. Together we transform the world … one step at a time. Balance is being restored. Harmony will exist. Love will prevail. Rebirth is upon the horizon.
