Musings of a Spiritual Warrior

1 July 1998

Independence Day lies just on the immediate horizon. What will the 222 aniversary of that special day bring to the world? We shall see soon enough. My sense is that this is indeed to be a special day ... the day of our Declaration of Interdependence at the spiritual level. But when will this realization occur within our day to day reality as well? The term one year comes to mind. It is as if such is the time it takes to manifest ideas into form now. It also happens to be the time from when the Declaration came forth through me until 4 July 1998.

Why should it take one year equal one cycle of the earth around the sun? Hmm ... one light year came to mind. This is the distance that light travels in one year. Perhaps this indicates how far the spiritual body is from the physical one. It also may indicate how far the spiritual dimensions are from the physical ones. Curious.

I recall something that one of my counselors said during my last vacation at the mental hospital ... something about physical reality being subject to changing at no faster than the speed of light. While I'm manic, my mind races at a pace much faster than this. But "reality" can't keep up ... it can't move as fast as my imagination. Thus, there are things or processes that are not subject to the speed of light barrier. It is in these areas where we look to find the true reality. Though, in looking, we risk losing our minds and our very sanity in the process. But are these such important things not to lose? Who says so? Why must we live as "normal" human beings, when so much more is open to us? Imagination is the key ... and further, what lies beyond imagination in the unknown that ever attracts our attention. Life is to be an adventure, not a boring or routine drugery. Our spirits demand more ... much more.

There is a feeling of unsettledness inside, knowing that something grand is about to happen, and soon. Exactly what remains unknown, but I like the feeling of anticipation of what is to come. Everything about it is positive. There is a sense of peace and happiness ... no, more like JOY associated with it. We are about to make our world truly the expression of spirit in flesh that it can be. Not just for some of us, but for ALL OF US. But, how can this be? Where are the signs of change on the scale necessary to verify this? In some ways, they are all around us, only they have not been presented in a manner that shows that there is great coordination of all human activities occurring in our world. Further, this coordination is not conscious, it is at deeper levels of being. Collectively, we are ready to learn how to start cooperating and working together in such a manner as to make this coordination conscious and automatic in our behavior.

We know what is required to be cooperatively interdependent now. There have been sufficient prototypes for the ONE consciousness to create a mold that permits a new era to be born. The castles in the air that have been brought forth through the imaginations of the visionaries can finally be given foundations on earth. Oh, we have waited for such a long time for this wonderous period to unfold. Countless efforts throughout the ages form the basis for a new thrust in consciousness in expression. As you are soon to see, much can change in your world in very little time, literally a few short years. The mass media is already engaged in programming people to the new rules of the game. You've noticed some of the scrambling of stereotypes occuring on popular shows recently. The mind works via establishing connections. Television provides a medium for making and breaking mental connections at a pace that could not be done prior to this generation. The ads in magazines do the same for those who take in their visual information in this format.

The internet provides a medium for interchange of information and for meeting people free from physical and political boundaries. Effectively this permits people to form relationships and communities based solely on interests and mutual concern for one another. It is through people meeting and grouping together to carry out common objectives or missions that the work of spirit is facilitated. To manifest a society where people can be all that they can be, not just some people, but all people -- we need great flexibility in permiting people to find those groupings and missions where they can not only contribute, but can best contribute. It is not enough to find a place where your skills are of utility. One must also find a place where one loves the work that one is doing. Yes, loves.

Be open to the changes that are to come. Know that the right place is awaiting you with the right tasks to use your skills in a manner that you love. You have only to stay open and aware and actively explore those avenues that are presented to you. You are always in the right place at the right time to experience what it is you must experience. This is always true. The light of spirit is upon you and within you. Shine your light to others that they may see the light within themselves as well. So be it, go forth and do what you must do ... such is the imperitive of spirit. Light can only be light, it has no opposite or other. Darkness is only light hiding from itself. Oh, it can be very good at hiding. Seek the cause of shadows in your world ... in doing so you will uncover much that allows you light to shine brighter.

Be Happy and Create Well!

LOVE,
