It was snowing when I went to bed last night, about midnight, and there was about an inch on the ground when I awoke. Everything is white again as far as the eyes can see. The temperature had hovered around freezing and now it is 39F. The snow seems stubborn and won't melt. Winter gives up reluctantly in these climes.
The chickens are usually anxious to get out. This Morning they took one look at the snow and changed their minds. They don't like fresh snow, if it is deep enough to cover their feet, and go up to their shanks. If they can run on top the snow, they don't mind at all. When we had geese they would pad down the snow and make tracks the chickens would use. I don't have geese anymore and the sheep are in a different location. When we had the chickens, in their old coop, the sheep would pack the snow down in the area, and give the chickens a place to run. There is a heavy overcast, if the Sun was out the snow would already be gone at these temps.
Information is pouring in on many fronts, faster than I can process it. On the surface the world seems in great disorder. From a different view, an order is emerging. The age old system of empires being in control is fading. The Anglo/American Empire may be the last. Other areas of the world may come into dominance, but {lets hope} the era of empires is over. I need to understand this a great deal better. I will write about it when I do.
I am, also, seeing our spiritual evolution a little differently. There is much information available that gives different perspectives. One example is, "Cosmic Awareness". It can be found at www.cosmicawareness.org. I haven't read much, and most of what I know, came from conversations with Jamie. It helps in understanding our relationship with Source and helps answer the question, "Why are we here?" and "What are we supposed to be doing?"
Since I haven't read the material yet I can't accurately report on it; but so far, it has helped me shift my perspective in a more comfortable direction. Our mentors have taught us that we got stuck here, because we were exploring separation, and lost our way. That well may be true, but perhaps, the emphasis should be on; we are Source, exploring separation. We are not just a ragtag bunch of rebellious souls. We are aspects of Source wondering, what it would be like being separate from ONE.
As parts of Source we are processing information about separation and returning the information to the whole. We each carry different aspects, of separation, to experience what separation is like. Some carry traits of greed, some arrogance, some shyness, some pride, some dominance etc. etc. We process the information, about what it is like, to carry this particular trait. In the process of overcoming this obstacle to oneness we teach each other and ourselves. One can see how ridiculous judgement is, as we can never appreciate what another's purpose is.
Many traditional cultures have the idea we are being 'dreamed'. Their lore is that we are dreams of God. They see the world as God dreaming. An interesting perspective. God trying to know himself? God exploring separation?
We have dreams at night and we awake and decide they are not real. The Course in Miracles postulates that we will, one day, awake from this dream [ the one we think of as reality] and realize it is only a dream.
Let us hope we awake soon!
Love and Peace, Gregg
