Portal to Multidimensional Living

More and more I have come to admire resilience.Not the simple resistance of a pillow, whose foamreturns over and over to the same shape, but the sinuoustenacity of a tree: finding the light newly blocked on one side,it turns in another. A blind intelligence, true.But out of such persistence arose turtles, rivers,mitochondria, figs — all this resinous, unretractable earth.

People normally cut reality into compartments, and so are unable to see the interdependence of all phenomena. To see one in all and all in one is to break through the great barrier which narrows one’s perception of reality.

The universe is the supreme manifestation of the sacred. This notion is fundamental to establishing a cosmos, an intelligible manner of understanding the universe or even any part of the universe.. We must remember that it is not only the human world that is held securely in this sacred enfoldment but the entire planet. We need this security, this presence throughout our lives. The sacred is that which evokes the depths of wonder. We may know some things, but really we know only the shadows of things.

Many people say they can feel a tree’s vibrational energy when placing their hand upon its bark. With their deep roots, trees carry significant grounding energy. We naturally feel peace and serenity when walking in the shade of trees or on a forest trail.

There are many things to be grateful “for” but,
as I ripen with the seasons of life, the many reasons
blend into a sacred mystery. And, most deeply,
I realize that living gratefully is its own blessing.

I live on Earth at present, and I don’t know what I am. I know that I am not a category. I am not a thing – a noun. I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process – an integral function of the universe.

The deeper levels of mind…belong to the entire human race rather than being the personal and subjective property of a particular individual. They are unconscious, not by virtue of having been forgotten or repressed but because they exist in a hidden or enfolded form that is not normally accessible to active attention.

From heart to heart, from soul to soul, there is a call and a response. The Earth calls – out of a deep longing in the Earth for its sacred nature to be recognized, for its heart to be seen and known – for the Real to return. When humanity responds, recognizes the Real in life and offers it back to life, the heart of the world can open and all life can begin to sing.

…my being partakes of your being and that of all beings. This goes beyond interdependency – our very existence is relational…therefore, what we do to another, we do to ourselves.

When we surrender the need to figure it all out, and cultivate the ability to let it all in, then our earth walk becomes a sacred dance of healing service on the planet. More than the world needs saving, it needs loving.

When you enter a grove peopled with ancient trees, higher than the ordinary, and shutting out the sky with their thickly inter-twined branches, do not the stately shadows of the wood, the stillness of the place, and the awful gloom of this doomed cavern then strike you with the presence of a deity?

…everything in this world is connected – …everything we do to bring harmony, anywhere and at any time, has repercussions elsewhere. The same holds true if our intention is to bring disharmony.
