Imagine, if you will, the sun…bright beautiful light with
rays spilling all about in every direction.
Remember as a child, you might have liked to draw it with your yellow
and orange crayons, paint it or just sit on the grass and feel it. Consider for a moment the sun, not as a
bright continually combusting and radiating star but a metaphor for our
Conscious existence. Think about it and
consider the saying, “We are all one.”
Go back now, imagine the sun as if it were the ultimate Big “C”
Consciousness radiating in all of its glory.
Consider now for a moment, each of us tiny humans with our little “c”
consciousness…The microcosm of the Macrocosm.
We are each like a ray of the Sun’s light. We emanate from the same Source and we travel
and move – Consciousness in Motion!
It is a simple metaphor but you can pick any other as you
may choose – branches of a tree, rain drops and the ocean. It doesn’t really matter how you choose to
consider it as much as it matters that you do consider it. Because, until you do, you may go on in your
lives not understanding or realizing the impact you have on the Whole. You are a bright and beautiful part of the Whole, traveling outward, experiencing Consciousness in motion from the Source
Consciousness of our Origins. We are not
small egoic only, self-serving, narcissistic humans. We may at times behave in ways incongruent
with that statement but that is only behavior and can be relegated to malware
installed in the consciousness operating system. We are more than that, all of us, despite how
we engage here with our consciousness.
We are rare and precious, driving always to persevere, that drive to go,
that impetus to reach and grow. We are
amazing and we don’t even know what we are.
We just live day in and day out never giving it a thought.
It’s okay, really. You don’t have to think about it but if you
did, if you realized what it is you truly are, how might you perceive things
and respond or react differently to all that you see and experience? If you knew the stranger before you was in
fact your brother or sister, traveling just like you are, would you be so quick
to judge or to cause harm? Would you
have the strength of spirit to strive more towards inquiry than belief alone? You could if you so chose or you could not if
you so chose. Free will dictates you can
do as you see fit here in this realm including the violation of the law of Free
will if you wanted. In the end, it’s
mostly you that suffers the fate of that violation because in violating
another’s Free will, you violate your own.
Going back to the metaphor of human beings existing as beautiful rays of light from the Sun, we
all shine. We cannot shine more by going
after or attempting to merge with or thwart the other shinning rays you
encounter on your Conscious journey. It
just doesn’t work like that. What helps
you to shine ever more brightly is the realization that you are a star, your
light is bright and when you appreciate just how much this is so, you keep your
own light pure, pristine and sparkling as you journey encouraging the fellow
rays (humans) to keep on shinning, keep on traveling in the light. Even if you meet with dark and ominous storm
clouds on some strange planet you’ve no idea how you encountered, you are still
a beautiful ray of light, energy and Consciousness that never dies. Your light and energy cannot ever be
extinguished, only transformed.
Did you know you could transform even now? Did you know that you could awaken to the
myriad of choices before you in every 3rd dimensional breathing
moment you exist here right now? So many
choices have you and despite how you may feel in a moment, never are you alone--millions upon billions and trillions of rays of
light emanate from the Sun of which I speak.
We reach and shine, that’s just what we do…it’s what We do. So, do what you were meant to do at the
moment of your choosing and just shine…shine like the Sun…be the bright and
beautiful Consciousness that you are just because you can.
