SUNDAY AFTERNOON

It 3:28 PM here. A beautiful afternoon. The Sun is shining brightly and it is a pleasant 25.5 degrees F.  I have finished my major chores of the day and have an hour and a half to blog or take a nap. Blogging wins for now.

If we are one, have you ever wondered how we are connected? These bodies seem so discrete. How do we feel oneness? I have felt oneness; I am not sure I could describe it. Those of you who meditate have, at least, an inkling. When I use to do psychotherapy, I sometimes got into a space where I was not conscious of myself and my words just flowed from me. I would see things and make observations that I knew were true but I hadn't thought of before. It was as if I could join with my patient and be his/her instrument for their learning. The Oneness we talk about, however, is a connection with everything. My experiences were sometimes with individuals, sometimes with couples or groups. I feel like my joining was with the One {or perhaps you may say my higher self} and that enabled me to see what they needed to learn. With meditation I have had a sense of connection to everything but, I know, I am just beginning to see.

We cannot achieve connection through our bodies. It is fun to try. Sex is wonderfully comforting and will give an illusion of oneness for a short time. But it is always over. I know some folks think Tantric sex is an exception. I think they are just fooling themselves. I don't think the body can be an instrument for oneness. I would be happy to be wrong. However, it is my feeling that focus on the body impedes expansion of the energy that is us.

If we think of ourselves as energy manifesting a body; then we see our body as the densest part of who we are. We wouldn't expect the densest part of us to easily access Oneness. If we can get a sense of who we are and realize that we are energetic beings, we can achieve a sense of oneness because it is at an energetic level that we are connected to everyone else. Even if you cannot experience it now; can you imagine it?

It is because, we are all connected energetically, that if we experience feelings of love, everyone benefits. Every time we choose love for ourselves; we choose it for everyone. Thinking of yourself as energy helps you understand how the spiritual awakening of this planet will proceed. Love is flowing more and more intensely through the energy makeup that is mankind. We are indeed raising our vibration and it will soon be seen as the old ways drop away. I know, sometimes it is hard to see the new world emerging; but it is. We are beginning to see what was always here but obscured by our collective illusion. Perhaps, we have always lived in Paradise.

Love is something that needs to be given away. Let's see how much we can give away.

Love and Peace,  Gregg
