A Journey to Oneness: A Chronicle of Spiritual Emergence

The events of 9-11
What began for me as a normal New Mexico September morning quickly became a moment shared by all the world …a moment that would be etched in the heart of history and never forgotten. I was jarred out of a deep sleep by the phone. My landlady seemed alarmed. My half-conscious brain registered something about “The World Trade Center” being destroyed.
Automatically, my sleep-numbed mind assumed she was talking about the colossal anthill out in the parking lot, which I had dubbed “The World Trade Center.” I’d been concerned that vehicles were constantly running over it. Each time, the poor ants went into a frenzy, running in circles as though the end of the world had come. The image was prophetic.
In the early hours of September 11th 2001, my first thought was that I couldn’t imagine why anyone would wake me up to tell me about an anthill. It quickly became clear that something extremely serious had just happened …on a much larger scale! How serious it actually was, the world hadn’t even begun to imagine. I didn’t own a TV. But, stumbling downstairs to the B&B, I watched the horror unfold before my very eyes that would change forever the illusion of life as we knew it.
After a few minutes of watching the heart-wrenching images that would come to haunt the world, I had seen enough. Instinctively, I ran for the computer and within seconds, was in a deep state of Divine connectedness with Oneness. The guidance of Oneness, received at 9:00 am Mountain Time, September 11, 2001, was shared via the internet with untold thousands of people.
Divine Guidance received from Oneness by Rasha
9:00 am Mountain Time, September 11, 2001
This is Oneness. We are here with you now. As you have learned, there have been acts of atrocity in your country. And these acts may continue to occur over the course of the days and weeks to come. These are the events to which we have referred. And these are the events that have been prophesied.
Your society, as you understand it to be, will crumble in the wake of these events. And there will emerge a new world of understanding. In time, you will comprehend the magnitude of what has just been initiated. For this is but the beginning of the transformation of your world and of the souls that presently populate it.
It would be important to remain calm in the face of what will come to pass. Source your strength from within the immortal core of your being. Live your life from within your heart. And remember who you really are …regardless of what may transpire. Your key to all you would do in what remains of this lifetime lies in your ability to remain grounded …and centered in your faith in yourself to manifest the highest possible outcome.
In the wake of the events now just beginning to unfold, you will come to recognize that the idea of the highest possible outcome is relative only to the moment at hand. Do not allow yourself to be drawn into the morass of fear that will emerge throughout your world, based upon how you remember reality to have been. Those memories are of the past, now. The highest possible outcome you can manifest is no more and no less than what is able to be perceived in the present moment.
Regardless of the way life may have been, the highest possible outcome in this Now moment is still possible …and always will be. In order to affect the transition that has been envisioned for these times, it is important that all who can grasp this concept remain focused in envisioning what can be …as though it already has come to pass. For all outcomes are possibilities. And what is experienced is determined only by what you choose to create with your perceptions, your reactions, and the underlying foundation of what you believe to be so.
Believe in your innate Divinity. Believe that you are safe. Believe, even in the wake of unspeakable horrors, that the dust will settle. And that reality will begin to define itself anew.
In the present moment, your world looks darker than most could have imagined. Yet, the gift in that vision is the possibility of transcending what your logical mind tells you and to hold firm to your power to source the strength and the wisdom from within that will see you through. Be there Now. And know that that haven is there for you always. Oneness
A second transmission from Oneness, two days later, helped me see the events of September 11th from a perspective I hadn’t anticipated. The guidance I received put the events into the context of a universal overview. It enabled me to begin to look at what, to all appearances, seemed a mindless atrocity, from the universal perspective of energy.
Somehow, the vantage point of detachment provided an element of Divine distancing from the emotional charge triggered by the events of our lives …even occurrences at this level of intensity. I realized that the teachings I’d been bringing through all this time spoke to this very concept. Yet, until then, I’d been interpreting those teachings on a personal level …as part of the process of personal spiritual transformation. I simply hadn’t anticipated that these same concepts would be applied …so soon …on such a profound, global scale.
The Divine guidance I received on September 13, 2001 was shared, via the internet, with people around the world.
Divine Guidance from Oneness
transcribed by Rasha, September 13, 2001
Oneness, can you tell me what is going on, please? How serious is the present situation regarding the terrorist attack on America?
The situation in your country is extremely serious. You have just begun to experience the wrath of those who have sworn their vengeance upon your nation. There may be more incidents. And there will be political upheaval. There will be a period of allowing the dust to settle here that will last for several more days. The situation will then escalate. And you will find yourself immersed in the ravages of a war that is unprecedented in your world.
These are the times for which you have been preparing, all these years, whether you are consciously aware of it or not. The so-called “Baptism by Fire” has indeed begun. Resist the temptation to drift into fear, along with the masses of your population. Remain focused in your Divine connection. And you will be protected from adversity and from harm.
Can you give me an idea of the timing of all this, please? Do we have weeks, months, or years before things become drastic?
Your situation as a nation and as a world is already drastic. The vibrational components of the events in question are already in place and ready to play-out as experience. The actual manifestations have not yet occurred, in terms of your understandings of “time”. Yet, in terms of energy, these events are already at hand.
Is there anything we as a population of beings could do to help dissipate the intensity of those vibrational conditions?
A directed focus of mass consciousness toward the creation of peace and harmony would be effective to assist in a less volatile release of the energies in question. The release of these energies is inevitable. The form that certain acts of release will take and the locations that will experience the direct effects of them are variables that can be affected by the power of mass consciousness to co-create its reality.
A foundation of hope, inner strength and resourcefulness will go far toward helping to manifest a less devastating outcome than might otherwise occur. A foundation of mass hysteria and fear will assist in bringing about the worst-case scenarios that you, as a population, inwardly dread.
Go about your life with a positive outlook, regardless of evidence to the contrary, and you will have made the highest possible contribution, regardless of where you are and where you choose to direct your efforts. For this world as you know it is simply a reflection of the vibrational essence of the souls that comprise it. And that outcome could be shifted in a radical way, were the population at large able to unite it’s collective vision in Divine connectedness.
As things now stand, such a radical shift in mass consciousness is unlikely within the time frame in question. Know however, that there are limitless variations upon the theme of one’s individual life experience. One is certainly able, through work that is inwardly directed, to elevate one’s individual vibration to the extent that the full impact of certain events would be minimized.
Within the context of the dimensional reality in which you now experience yourself, the likelihood of certain events coming to pass is virtually inevitable. How you will personally experience the ramifications of those events is defined and re-defined by each of you in the ongoing moment of Now. Direct your focus toward manifesting the Divinity within you with every gesture and with every word spoken. Recognize your fellow beings as your very own sacred essence. And demonstrate the loving compassion, in every encounter, that you would wish to experience yourself.
That is the recipe for shifting the energies that now threaten the sanctity of your world. Taken on a personal level, such a focus will go far toward influencing what you may or may not experience in the days to come. That principle, when implemented in unison by all humankind, could significantly modify the prognosis for global crisis that now appears imminent.
You hold the destiny of your world within the hearts of each of you. And regardless of the mundane choices made in your day to day lives, life as you know it will never be the same again. That is a fact not to be feared, but rather, to be embraced. For the essence of change is your destiny and your birthright.
You have chosen to be here in these times in order that you might experience and help co-create the “world shattering” transformations that have been slated for these times. Those upheavals will be transpiring not merely in the world that surrounds you, but within the depths of each of you. For, you have arrived at the time where the “Shift of the Ages” is at hand. That shift is one that is to be experienced within. And the acts of purging that will enable all to transcend the limitations that have bound you to an outmoded state of being, are a necessary part of that process.
In the days to come, each of you will have the opportunity to come to terms with much that has colored this lifetime and the way you have chosen to live it. The circumstances that your world has made manifest are here as a catalyst to assist each of you in embodying that momentum of change. It is a highly charged drama calculated to bring up for scrutiny all that you hold-dear and much that you do not. The opportunity to make those distinctions is the gift borne by the turbulence of these times.
The profound journey scripted for each of you who have chosen to be present in this drama is calculated to catapult you to the heights of human experience. Many of you have chosen to have that taste of your own Divine essence in incarnate human form. And you have, many of you, just embarked upon the journey of a lifetime that is scheduled to deliver you unto that experiential destination.
Hold to that vision in the hours ahead that appear most bleak. Know that this is the process that you, as an eternal being, wanted to experience. For in the heights and the depths of your own humanness is the experiential gateway to another level of experience …a heightened level of awareness, waiting in the wings to take you into its loving embrace. Give yourself permission to feel fully the emotions that will be stimulated to the surface by the circumstances soon to come. For this is the gift you have chosen to give to yourself by being present in this crossroads in “time” and “space” that you would regard as Now.
Each of you will experience the events to come in different ways. For each of you is bringing to completion lifetimes of interaction with the fellow beings who now populate your life scripts. And each hopes to be able to transcend the need to continue in these predictable dramas. These times of transformation are calculated to provide the full spectrum of such opportunities.
When you look back upon the events now beginning to unfold within your world, you will see quite clearly the inevitability of what will come to pass. And you will rejoice in the recognition of the being you really Are. Underneath the mask and the posturing, underneath the conditioned behaviors, underneath all that you believe now defines you …you are about to encounter your own Divine essence. And you will recognize the gift in the metamorphosis of a world that could not have come about in any other way.
One month after the event, I was still shaken by what had transpired in New York City on September 11th …as were so many of us. I had very definite concerns about how one might apply the esoteric teachings of Oneness, which I had just transcribed, to the blatant acts of atrocity the world had witnessed. Just how, exactly, are people supposed to view that level of raw experience from a metaphysical perspective, I wondered?
Oneness speaks about the incident of September 11th.
Oneness, I’d like to speak about the world situation and the blatant question of the “victims” of the terrorist attack on September 11th. Everything in the book we’ve just written talks about there not being any such thing as “victims.” What about those people who were killed? Did they “sign up” for this experience? Or were they part of the dynamics of group karma? Or were they just part of a logistical grouping that facilitated a “geographical energy release”? Or all of the above ...or none of the above?
You must remember, above all, that the circumstances in question were a manifestation of energy. The souls in question made the choice of aligning themselves with that energy …or not. Many opted to take the vibrational quantum leap in consciousness that resulted from making the sacrifice, in physical terms. For they did so on behalf of the multitudes who stand to benefit from the shift in the energies in that location that resulted from an incident of those proportions.
The beings of that geographical area have been gifted with a monumental energy release that has succeeded in shifting the circumstances in ways that are being experienced by all who took part in that drama. The consciousness of that city of darkness have been elevated dramatically. And the hearts of those who chose to be there have been opened …some of them traumatically. None have been spared an experience of heart that is unforgettable.
Those who sacrificed their lives to bring about that result did so knowingly, at a soul level. In so doing they accelerated their own process of ascension, as spiritual beings. Many of them have chosen to return in physical form to assist in the birthing of the new reality, equipped with the heightened perspective and perceptions with which the children now coming into form are equipped. They are in a better position now to make a difference in their world, and for themselves as spiritual beings, than they did in the oppressive conditions in which each of them had enslaved themselves.
The sacrifice was great. And the reward was great …not from the standpoint of the physical realities in which the catastrophes occurred, but from the higher perspective. This pattern will be repeated many many times, in the times to come, in order that the purging of the dimensional reality in which you experience your self-awareness be accomplished …to the higher good of all concerned. For all of this is energy. Remember that.
For every sacrifice made and for every price paid …both by the martyrs and by those who loved them …there is a reward that was chosen, knowingly, at a level where the higher perspective was in view.
This is an explanation of what, in actuality, has transpired. This is a perspective that very few are able to grasp, under the present conditions, in your reality. You will wish to exercise discretion in how you express these teachings. For sensibilities are raw right now. And to state such teachings may strike some as callous and heartless.
There is a delicate balance between expressing compassion for the very real agonies being experienced by those who are living through them on behalf of the collective …and understanding the dynamics of what is actually transpiring vibrationally, from the standpoint of the ‘bigger picture.’
To comprehend the dynamics of geographic energy release …and the resolution of group karma …does not invalidate the very real, catastrophic emotions being encountered. These emotions are also energy. And, as such, they must be expressed and allowed to seek resolution through the individual and the collective consciousness of all whose lives have been touched by these events.
The grieving process is very real. As is the outrage. The sense of being violated calls up for scrutiny every aspect of the sense of humanity that your nation has demonstrated so poignantly. And in the balance …in the full range of the extremes of emotion these circumstances are calculated to bring to the surface of your awareness as a populace …is the opportunity for transcendence. It is an opportunity for transcendence of all of the pain and anguish to which you, as a race of beings, have been subjected, by virtue of the vibrational conditions to which you are committed.
These extremes of experience are opportunities for unprecedented levels of karmic resolution, that will enable the souls in question to transcend much that would, ordinarily, have taken lifetimes.
Vibrationally, this is how the circumstances are playing out in certain levels of reality. In the Here and Now in which you experience yourself, the level of purging is a modified version of what had been foreseen. And it is a greatly modified version of the catastrophic conditions that are being experienced in denser levels of reality, where virtually no consciousness present will emerge untouched.
Your own experience of these conditions and these times will not reflect the extremes of tragedy that many will withstand in these times. You have been spared these experiences due to the nature of the work you are doing, and by virtue of the vibrational assistance you have been gifted.
You will float through these turbulent times of upheaval, virtually unscathed. But know that the very real horrors that many will live through are the reality for which you have been preparing. For, you have been trained to be a lamplight to these ones …who are only now beginning to experience the dark night of their own soul’s journey.
Your heart will be touched …yet not imprisoned …by what you will witness. For you will be able to put the sights and the sounds and the smells of transformation into the framework of the higher perspective. And you will be able to circumvent the path of descent into despair that many will travel. You do not need to go there with them. You will remain, as “the light at the end of the tunnel” …that will see them through.
For you, it will be the worst of times and the best of times …dependent upon the perspective from which you view it. The external circumstances to come may be horrifying, at times. But they will be going on around you. In your inner world, you will experience levels of Divine connectedness that will only escalate in the levels of joy you will experience. For, your inner world …and your spiritual reality …is the true reality. And it is here that you will ‘live.’ It is here that you will retreat …to the sanctity of this haven of Love and Light …when the illusion of the physical world becomes oppressive.
You have been prepared, fully and completely, for what is transpiring in your world. You are ready to walk forward now, in the aftermath of the very beginnings of the upheavals to come. And with the word of Oneness in hand, you will be able to make a difference to many.
Thank you, Oneness, for the incredible gift of this journey. I am humbled and awestruck by the realization of all of it. And so incredibly grateful.
December 26, 2004 is a date that will long be etched in the chronicles of heartbreak and compassion we carry together as collective memory.
For, united in a tragedy that, in one sweeping stroke, obliterated barriers of culture along with entire segments of population, we touched briefly upon a collective moment of Oneness.
It was a moment in time marked by a word few had ever heard before: tsunami.
In that fleeting instant we, as a world population, transcended the walls of alienation with which we customarily divide ourselves into neat categories of separateness. In the grief that we shared around the globe, our hearts groped for a universal life-raft …a shred of Divine insight that would help soothe the agony of having to stand by, helplessly watching on live TV, as so many paid the ultimate price.
I too stood by, helplessly watching the drama unfold …in real life …as it was actually happening on the beach in Pondicherry, Tamil Nadu, South India. The former French colony on India’s south east coast, with its charming tree-lined streets and quaint, bistro-style atmosphere was amongst the places memorialized in the headlines of the world as it, in turn, became ground-zero in a global catastrophe that was unprecedented in our times.
At the last minute, I’d tried to schedule an impromptu getaway for Christmas weekend, and miraculously …I thought … managed to book a room at Park Guesthouse. There hadn’t been an available room in all of Pondicherry over Christmas for weeks. But, as luck would have it, a last minute cancellation manifested one at the very moment of my call. It felt like a gesture of Divine affirmation that I was meant to be there.
I checked in to the only available room the morning of Christmas Eve, a ground floor room facing the lush gardens, with the endless expanse of ocean just beyond. Traditionally, I’d always managed to secure a room on one of the upper floors, each of which offered a nice little balcony and an added touch of ocean breeze. But the ground floor was all that was left. Instinctively, something didn’t feel quite right about the room but, grateful to have someplace to stay, I let it pass.
The far end of the room featured a small, textured-glass window, framed-in with strong, iron security bars. The room was non-descript, but at least I’d be safe, I remember thinking. In retrospect, I’ve often imagined how those bars might easily have sealed my fate, had the infamous wave-to-come been much higher. Blessedly, for me, it wasn’t.
The holiday passed uneventfully enough. And it being India …French touches or not …I had to remind myself that Christmas was actually going-on, elsewhere on the planet. The local action picked-up quite un-expectedly the following morning. For me, the drama began with the sound of someone frantically pounding on my door. I was hours into the depths of meditation and in that moment would have been hard pressed to tell you what universe I was in. The sound of a woman’s voice shrieking “Earthquake! Open up!” sent me crashing back to earth. Incoherent, I staggered to the door and flung it open. My vision froze on an inconceivable sight.
At that very moment, the first of a sequence of waves came splashing at the top of the mammoth wall that stood like a fortress on the east side of the garden …a jagged line of demarcation, separating land and sea. The wall was at least 15 feet high (roughly 4 meters) and never before had I seen water even approach that wall from the beach, much less come splashing over the top.
With my heart pounding, I grabbed my laptop and ran for the street. There, I jumped into a waiting rickshaw and just shouted “Drive!” The driver smiled innocently, totally oblivious to what was happening. “Where you going?” he asked. Stammering, I just pointed away from the beach, not able to think of a place or direction to tell him to go. “No problem” he smiled, sensing some urgency in my demeanor. And away we went. As we did, I looked back behind me …in horror.
Suddenly, where only seconds before there had been a deluge of ocean, there now was no water at all. For as far as the eye could see, the ocean floor lay bare …completely exposed. In its place, waves of young Indian boys came flooding onto the beach, whooping and jumping, amid a suddenly surreal landscape …a vista that until that moment, they had only ever known as “the sea.”
What goes out …must come back in. I’ve never wanted to think about the scene that, inevitably, must have followed there. Many hundreds are said to have perished on the beaches of Pondicherry that day. I thank all heaven and earth that I was not amongst them. I watched the aftermath live on TV from a second floor café, safe in the heart of the city …shaken.
Later that day, I retreated to the haven that is Oneness, for guidance. The teachings I received were not what might have been expected. Yet, in reading it over, I started to see the drama in a different light. I began to understand that through these teachings we had been gifted with a level of insight that would help us all to look upon the unthinkable moments in our history in a very different way. Very slowly, I began to see the visions of unspeakable human tragedy and suffering that we share collectively, from the perspective of Oneness.
Reflections on the tsunami of 2004.
Applying the principle of detachment to life experience in the face of triumph and tragedy. The momentum of eternal change. The Divine opportunity inherent in the heights and the depths of human experience.
This is Oneness. Allow the breaths to come slowly and deeply and allow the fullness of this Presence to permeate your awareness. We are here now in the fullness of this Union. No more and no less a manifestation of physicality than the essence of the Totality itself. Isness …simply Is. An aspect of that Isness is no less the essence of the whole than the sum totality of All That Is. This is the essence of what we Are in this moment. And this is the essence of All that We Are.
When one is able to step back from the inclination to dissect, to analyze and to judge, one is left with the pure essence of experience. For experience itself has no agenda. It does not require that it be fit into the context of the shoulds and shouldn’ts of a linear mindset. Inherent in the pure essence of experience is the consummate detachment of the experiencer that would render the possibility of perception untainted.
When one enters the process with the inclination to categorize it into the structures of dualistic systems of belief, one affects the experience. One then adds the tinge of emotional charge that translates experience into the vibrational formulations one carries forth as karma. Without the addition of emotion, or the need to structure the experience, one is left with the building blocks of pure perception.
One has then created the context for carrying forth the possibility of perception through the medium of form, and to do so multi-dimensionally. For, the format for that perception does not change. The identity through which the perception is made possible remains intact, though the context through which it may be perceived will vary, according to the vibrational variables present.
The opportunity, for one whose sense of Self-perception would place him/her in a position to operate as a format for a broader range of experience, is to encounter experience with detachment. One is able to take the position of the observer, regardless of whether or not one is personally involved in the scenario in question. One is able to experience oneself as fully present in those circumstances, without feeling the necessity to respond, internally or externally, in any way at all. One is able to simply Be …even within the context of a maelstrom …and in so doing, not add a charge that might link that experience to the experiencer, vibrationally.
There would be no need to judge it, to agree or disagree with it, or to place it in a context relative to similar categories of experience. There would be no need to feel pained or elated by it. There would be no inclination to worry about the effects it might have in moments that could be considered to be past or future. There would be no need to respond in any way at all. This possibility of disengaging oneself from the conditioned responses characteristic of presence in a linear world serves to separate one, experientially, from the masses who may well encounter the identical circumstances.
Any and all action, relative to those circumstances would be a reflection of individual choice, unaffected by judgment of any kind. One then is able to float through the turmoil and trauma that may color the landscape and not feel the need to interact with those variables, either internally or externally. One would not feel compelled, necessarily, to take action. One would not feel inclined to register the event, through the medium of emotion, and thus build a vibrational charge that might be carried within. One is able to simply be Present with whatever circumstances may arise, and to know that the Essence of who one Is, is not affected in any way at all.
There is no death. No more that there is life. These illusory constructs are simply the medium through which experience might be registered, noted, and released into the vastness of infinite possibility. This is the format through which Creation is made possible. This is the system of translating possibility into perception. This is the basis of the phenomenon you regard as your linear world.
All action is taken by the One Supreme Presence, who enacts All That Is. And though that Presence may appear in the guise of any number of identities, both in form and formless, it is none other than Oneness initiating all of it.
The beginnings and endings that structure your illusory world are simply the means through which Creation is made possible. The triumphs and tragedies that serve as the hallmarks of human experience are simply the turning points through which Oneness may continue to delineate …and to experience …our own exponential Isness. There is no value judgment whatsoever, in any of it. All of it is no more and no less than an exponential continuation …a manifestation of an ongoing momentum that is infinite and eternal.
The in-breath and out-breath of Creation takes the form of births and of deaths. In this way, the ebb and flow of the tides of Creation are given structure and definition. The imperceptible is given form. The inconceivable is given the means through which the sciences that govern your reality may be born, and grow, and flourish …and die …in the wake of something new.
What was once irrefutable then becomes irrelevant. What is known to be true …provable to the extent that it becomes unquestionable …suddenly is able to be penetrated. The structures of perfection itself are seen to be flawed. And the solid ground upon which your entire system of what “is” and what “is not” rests, is shown to be fluid. The static is known to be perpetual motion. And the laws governing all of it shuffle and reshuffle once more, in an effort to keep up with the momentum of eternal change.
You can document what is true in this Now moment. And you can attempt to formulate a system that is designed to decode it. But all the systems in your world can not begin to decode and structure a methodology for Divine Intent. Nor would you wish to. For how can the limitless be distilled into a formula and be expected to produce predictable results? The very basis of the phenomenal world is its very unpredictability.
Patterns may be drawn …by those who perceive themselves as standing still in a static reality …only to shatter when the tides of change touch the shifting sands of your world. The rubble that is the aftermath of inconceivable destruction forms the foundation for the safe and the sure. The floods of grief that come in the aftermath of such phenomena form the basis for the peace and serenity that wash over the devastation and purge the scene of its karmic structure.
In ways that are imperceptible to the physical senses, the seed of Life Itself is implanted in the residue of death and degeneration. And even though, on a human emotional scale, the event in question may register as mindless …and Divinely heartless …from the vantage point of the Infinite, the inevitability of that level of change is a calculation whose moment was, and is, at hand.
In time, the cost in terms of human life for such an episode will come to be seen from the perspective of the timeless. A particular event will take its place within the annals of history as the ongoing patterns of creation and destruction that define your world continue to play out as human experience. The outpouring of the gestures of compassion speak to the sense of Oneness that grows within heart of the collective consciousness present. The empathy stimulated to the surface of the composite awareness transcends borders that might have served to separate those enacting the heights and depths of human experience on behalf of the whole.
Events that register in their intensity as “off the charts” serve to unite what has been fragmented. For in these “moments of truth,” one is able to view oneself in the mirror of the circumstances at hand, and to know that it is none other than one’s own Self that has participated in …and witnessed …the entire drama.
Those who remain immersed in the clouded waters of separation will have their ways diverted, as humanity flows as a collective of awareness toward the seas of Divine Unity. And individual crises, no less impactful experientially than those experienced en masse in the far corners of your world, will come to pass. The loss that might be said to have been sustained will serve to lay the groundwork for the levels of change that are inevitable within the depths of each and every individual present. For change is the order of the day …and the recipe for redemption that the conditions at hand cry out for, vibrationally.
One need not be touched, within the sanctity of one’s inner Being, by circumstances being illustrated in the periphery of one’s sense of Self-awareness. One is able to choose, through the medium of one’s mechanism of response, how particular circumstances will either be drawn and internalized …or allowed to pass without creating so much as a ripple within. One casts one’s vote, into the composite of collective experience, with every waking breath. One draws one’s lot in life from that pool of possibility, and enacts it on behalf of the whole, on the basis of one’s Self perception …and on that basis alone.
Gone are the days when one could delude oneself into believing that circumstances simply happen. There is no such thing as bad luck. Everything within the realm of experiential possibility is purposeful and calculated. All that is perceived operates within the structure of a system that is conceived in perfection and executed flawlessly. That structure will not change. It is a system calculated to sustain itself eternally. And though the circumstances illustrated by that system can be seen to do so in response to shifts in the tides of global change, the system itself remains untouched. For, it is one conceived in the Eternal and birthed into the inevitability of Self-perpetuation.
You are here, experiencing yourself within it. You are Here, as Presence, in this Now moment, embodying choice. You are free to perceive yourself within the realm of the calamities that trigger panic and chaos as they unfold around you. Or you may choose …in those “moments of truth” …to embody Self-perception and to view the circumstances in which you find yourself from a vantage point that is found only within.
You may choose, in the heights of human desperation, to recognize the possibility of experiencing your Self as the Infinite and the Eternal. You may choose to know your Self …your True Essence …to remain untouched. You may choose to liberate yourself from the endless cycle …from the ebb and flow of the tides of creation and destruction that characterize the world of physical perception …in the space of a heartbeat.
You may choose, in the crescendo of life experience, to embody the inevitability of change playing out all around you and become swept up in that momentum. Or, in that same moment, you may choose to perceive your own Essence …as changeless.
For, despite the illusory details …regardless of what may appear in the guise of magnificence or horror …who you truly Are is none of that. The opportunity inherent in life’s most poignant moments is the possibility that you might choose not simply to believe it …but to know it.
