My Dear Ones,
We are drawn by Nature
into a Cosmic Play that challenges us to expand our awareness of ourselves and
the world around us. All our experiences are meant to lead us to this goal. Nature
has veiled our true reality creating the illusion that we exist in separation
from each other and our Universe. In this illusion we fear each other, fight each
other and struggle with trust issues. But are we really different to each other
and our Universe? Can we lift the veil that Nature has put over our vision? And
if and when this veil is lifted what are the possibilities that exist for us?
Deep within us there is a longing to move away from the feeling of separateness
and isolation. When we fall in love with others and intimately share their world
we feel our consciousness expanded. When we come together in groups we feel lifted
and inspired by collective vision, presence and purpose. When we open ourselves
to share the world of others we expand our awareness. These experiences of expanded
consciousness are but glimpses of the realm of possibilities that exist for us
in the human experience. To what extent can we expand our consciousness? This
is what has always created excitement within me -the idea that it is possible
to expand the consciousness and the promise that in doing so we will be more in
touch with ourselves and our Universe.
In relationships where we experience
others as part of ourselves we lose feelings of selfishness and treat others as
we would ourselves. The feeling of unity and harmony creates such a synergy that
each feels lifted to a dimension that is not possible by themselves. Such relationships
are so energizing that they bring out the best within us. They tend to boost our
feeling of well being and inspire us to be creative and productive.
It
is also possible to create relationships of unity consciousness with our earth
and its natural environment of plants and animals and to feel in harmony with
them. Those who have pets and have bonded with them feel this special relationship.
Those who cultivate flowers and plants and watch them grow under loving care know
this bond of unity and synergy. It is amazing how we can be in touch with our
world when we open ourselves to the experience. These are ways of expanding our
boundaries of consciousness.
Before we can begin to create such deep relationships
with the world around us we need to create a relationship with our own inner being.
We need to know ourselves and to experience the fullness of our being. We need
to heighten our awareness of all that we are. We need to remove the inner veil
that prevents us from this experience. This is the key to experiencing the external
world as part of our being.
We need to venture inward with the excitement
of an adventurer. If we have a competent guide then we feel secure on the path.
So it is important to seek good guidance. Guidance can come through books, conversations
with those who have touched the depth of the inner space, or from seeking inner
wisdom with an intellect that is humble. The truth of life is already within us,
we just need the awakening of that which can make us aware of it.
As we
go deeper within ourselves our consciousness expands. The sense of loneliness
begins to disappear giving way to the feeling that we are a part of a vast field
of consciousness. We feel carried by this field. It brings a deep sense of security,
opens up new dimensions of love, peace and joy. We feel in touch with an inner
wisdom that is beyond the intellect. In this awareness we view the world differently.
In touching the depth of our being we feel deeply in touch with our world. Relationships
take a whole new meaning. The world feels as part of our being and the sense of
separation disappears. This is cosmic awareness and this is the possibility that
exists for us in the human experience.
Are you excited about this and
what it can mean for you? I am!
In loving service,
Vasudeva
