The Presence
There are times when the Presence of God in
and around me, is very strong. Those are the times when I am very sure of my
connections with all that is. Then I look away from that Presence, in a brief
moment of following a stray thought, and the brilliance of the Presence dims
ever so slightly. If I continue to pursue the thought, it leads to conjurings of
past or future activities and the awareness dims even further. That is how the
darkness begun for all of us. We took
our attention from the Source of our beings, and placed it on that which we, in
our great creativity, had made; thus dimming our perceptions of that Source to
almost total darkness. The glory, might and majesty of the all of creating Source
is still there, it never left us. We lost sight of who and what It is, leaving
ourselves to sleep in a dream of evil and malcontent. Because we are loved,
and because we are a part of the living God, atoms within the body of God, we
cannot be lost. We may dream of being lost, but dreams vanish as soon as
wakefulness appears.
We are being called to wakefulness. This
wakefulness will restore to us the full memory of who we are. I can almost hear
the peels of holy laughter we will issue, as we dimly remember the confusion
and horror we dreamed we were in. The peace which attends even the small
turnings we make now will swell into the peace which passes all understanding. We
will know ourselves as the bright beings created to take the light of love to
planet earth. We will see with eyes unclouded by thoughts of evil and sin; and
know that forever we were the innocent children of a most loving Creator,
willing to allow us even the awful dreams we are currently having.
Awakening is a choice we can make at any moment.
