Intensity Re.defined

In the past few days I have attempted to write, yet there appears so much wordiness and repetition - I even bored myself. It feels as if any of us, from the world wide big famous well known kahuna like authors and spiritual teachers to the tiny can you hear me bloggers like myself, have been saying the same thing over and over again for the past few years. Stay focused. Work on yourself. Oooops, we fell back a bit. Okay, here we go. Keep focused. Keep the faith.

Sounds like growing up, doesn't it? Especially familiar to the pre teen years when we fall back a bit into old ways, before we fully spread our wings in teenage years which on a good day merges into young adulthood. So many labels, words and explanations. We, us humans; are very, very good at giving wordy explanations to the scenarios.

With that said, let me be as simple as I can be. Knowing full well, like any other philosophical, esoteric, thought filled gotta share spiritually focused teacher being; this is simply my perception, from my lens. Having shared this knowing verbally with beloveds and felt a resonate wave of understanding and knowing comfort was received, I share this with you.


Everything is now magnified. Love and fear.

We are closer to Oneness than we have ever been.

The journey to Oneness has been the path of choice by many due to their thinking this would lead us all to Love, all to sharing only the joy. And ultimately it will. But here, here on earth, on this plane, where the nature of life as human itself is yin and yang - hence we will always have the choice, the action of free will to choose.
(Friends, our Creator blessed us with free will; if there was not also given choices along with that, free will would make no sense!) The closer we get to Oneness, as we are now, we feel ALL of it. To feel the joy we also feel the grief. To experience the fullness of love, the immensity of the love of humankind; we also open ourselves to the fear of humankind.

Many hearts are opening. They have traveled the road from the head to the heart and they expected to ONLY feel the Love when they arrived. Why not? This is why they focused on it in the first place. To FEEL the love. Not to cry the tears of all of humanity. Not to feel your heart ripped opened due to yet another horrible natural disaster in the world. Not to see homelessness, illness, war and feel it so deeply it may as well be you. This was not what you expected.

Yet, you see, that is love. To feel your sisters and brothers pain as your own. To be One in the Heart of Compassion, that you have visceral responses to another persons experience. Do you ever wonder if God feels all our pain? If every day this wondrous Isness of Life from which all is created looks upon Its Beloveds and feels our pains? If so, our Love, our Joy is also felt.

The most basic of spiritual teachings are helpful right now. To see, feel, acknowledged the pain, the discomfort, the war of human on human; and yet to stay unattached through the Light, our Faith of God; knowing we have free will and there does exist the place of Love which cradles us in comfort. In doing what is humanly possible as an individual; giving of time, money or our personal gifts. Being as unattached, which is non fearful, of the fear itself. To stand in the Light of your faith and know God is present and it is our joy to see It revealed.

The most basic of teachings; turning your cheek, it is done to you according to your faith, paths of righteousness. Remember, the fear is simply an empty vessel awaiting to be filled with Gods Love, Power, Presence. Fill it with compassion, understanding, kindness.

Be grateful you are feeling. If you are one of the many who are in the experience of the pain of humanity, with deep fears coming to the surface and you are witnessing them; be grateful. The greater the fear, the bigger the empty cup! God can fill any vessel with love. The song is so true - ain't no mountain high enough, ain't no river deep enough to keep me from YOU! Nothing is impossible with God.

Be grateful you are feeling. Know you cannot fix the war by yourself. You cannot mend the pain of Katrina by yourself. You cannot house every homeless animal, foster child or feed every person who is hungry; but your ability in Oneness to acknowledge the pain, to feel the expression of fear - is also your great ability to feel Love, to share in love.

A friend of mine, her family just lost an angel on earth in an unexpected death. We shared how big families, mean big love, create big loss. And in that pain of the loss is also the strength of the love. It is One. Which do you choose to see?

As we create more openings to the One Great Heart, we become the family of humankind which has called us. In a family there is pain, disconnections, love, dysfunctions.....etc, etc, etc.....all of it. In committing to the Path of Oneness to seek the Joy of God; know along with that is great responsibility in feeling all of it.

If you are one of the many beings who are in the experience of Love - Love as big, as outwardly, as compassionately as you possibly can. Love all you see, send Love to all beings, Love your enemies, your wounds, your challenges. Love, give it away.

Again, in this moment in time; fear and love are being magnified. Breathe. Detatch. Love.
