~ Light Omega Newsletters ~

Dearest Beloved Ones,

We hear in the new each day about acts of violence and disaster, and increasingly about indiscriminate acts of hatred perpetrated upon innocent people in prayer, at a marketplace, or most recently at a protest rally. Our daily diet of news infuses not just the content of the latest event into our minds, but an energy of fear, chaos, and disorder that affects our view of life. In the presence of energies of fear and chaos, it is very difficult to locate the energies within us of reassurance, of peace, and of knowing that order, not chaos, is the nature of the universe.

Years ago a phrase came into being that was broadcast in social media for some time, namely, "Practice random acts of kindness." It caught our imagination and still does, but does not outweigh, for most of us, the sense of oppression created by a picture of the world and of a nation that is increasingly violent and increasingly disturbed by racial tensions and animosities. To counteract this looming picture of darkness, offered by the news each day, we must find the light within us that allows us to know that nobility and kindness are present in all beings, even though we hear little about these qualities.

Nobility and kindness are present in the way communities and neighbors cared for each other in the recent massive Sierra Leone mud slides. Nobility and kindness are present in those aid workers who helped bring relief aid to Haiti or any other disaster-ridden country following a natural catastrophe. Nobility and kindness are present in our daily lives when we seek to help someone, anyone, and go out of our way to do so. We must ask ourselves, beloved ones, why these actions, whether individual or collective, are not the subject of the news. Why only horror, violence, and disaster are the subject of the news.

The answer is not only that 'violence sells.' That is a cliche that addresses the more surface level truth but does not address the cause that is producing that truth. Why does violence 'sell?' Why does not kindness 'sell?'

To answer this question, we need not only to go back into history to see how this trend originated, but also to understand energies that are at work today within our hearts and minds, energies that create a world picture of mistrust and fear. If we mistrust each other, if we are afraid for our own lives, if we live in a world that is chaotic or disordered and this view is reinforced on a daily basis, then we will continue to feel separate from each other. We will continue to need to protect ourselves from others. This is the opposite motivation than that which seeks love and joining. Where fear exists, love's presence and the desire to join with others diminishes. This is our history, and it is present today in the tendencies we are witnessing toward isolation, toward the erection of barriers between one nation and another, and in all the ways that hatred of one group toward another are being expressed.

Beloved ones, through our daily thoughts and actions we choose to be part of this perspective of fear and disorder, or we choose to be part of the world of nobility and kindness, the world in which the human heart is trustworthy. We need to look at this choice in all that we communicate to others, but particularly we need to observe our own thought process so that we do not align with the darkness that is being conveyed to us with every reported event in the news.

The world of light, of nobility, and of kindness, all emanating from the greater presence of the soul within the human heart, is expanding now, but we will not know about it if we believe the picture of the world that is being presented to us through the prism of fear and disorder. From this picture, we will only absorb the need to maintain self-protection and separateness. If, however, we look into our own motivation, and seek to practice nobility and kindness in our thoughts and speech on a daily basis, we will begin to see the potential of this being returned to us a thousandfold.

This is the world we wish to create, and we must take responsibility for our own willingness and and our own capacity to do so. The life of the world that we create lies within us, not just outside us.

May all beings be set free from illusion to find the way to their own heart of love. Amen, and Namaste. With all blessings - Julie of Light Omega

2017 LIGHT OMEGA NEWSLETTER-.jpg [ 21.07 KiB | Viewed 14020 times ]

Dear Beloved Ones,

You may have been doing spiritual work for a long time now. You may have devoted yourself to living as you feel the Divine would have you live. You may have changed your diet and tried to free yourself of many areas of limitation and false beliefs that have encumbered you. All of this is good and needed, beloved ones. And yet we are at an important juncture, now, that requires something more deliberate, that is, the alignment with light within the body and consciousness so that energies that would thwart and deceive those who seek the light cannot find a foothold within you.

Aligning with light is both a spiritual practice and a way of life. It is a practice in the sense of releasing all that is negative as an energy within you and giving it to God. This requires deliberate attention on a daily and often on an hourly basis. However, it is more than this. Aligning with light also involves the clear understanding of where your own moral center is, and what the values of your heart are. It is these values that currents of darkness now circulating upon the Earth and within our nation are trying to corrupt so that those who would seek love as a defining principle of life would lose sight of the fact that it is missing, now, in many places.

You may think that you understand what love is and when it is present. However, obscuring energies work in very subtle ways to cause you to forget what you already know, to operate from a less than moral perspective because it has come to seem alright to do so. It is not alright, beloved ones. It is not alright.

This message comes to you with a growing sense of urgency because the light has expanded upon the Earth in a significant way and forces of opposition are seeking to prevent its further expansion and, in fact, to cause a reversal of what has already taken place. This cannot happen within your deeper being, nor in the deeper being of the Earth, for the soul of each is inviolable and eternally sanctified. But it can happen within your consciousness. Your consciousness can let go of what it is sure it would always hold onto, namely, your own sense of what is right.

As an antidote to the growing currents of opposition at this time, we ask you to cling to love in all situations as the single most important part of your life, relationships, and way of being. There is nothing more powerful in the universe than love if we hold onto it. If we let go of it, or allow it to diminish in its importance, we become vulnerable to forces that would move us in a direction away from love. Therefore, beloved ones, cling to love. Let your life be an increasing expression of love. Let your heart and your relationships reflect this. It is through steadfastness with respect to love that you will be able to hold the greatest amount of light in your body, and it is this that is needed at this perilous time.

We embrace you, we send you the blessings of all the Hosts of Light as you go through this time, and the eternal message that we are with you. With deepest love and gratitude - Those Who Serve the Light

Beloved Julie-2017-450.jpg [ 18.34 KiB | Viewed 13953 times ]

Dear Beloved Ones,

I invite you to share with me the Day of Remembrance recently held at Light Omega, for its purpose transcends the boundary of a particular day and asks to weave itself into your ongoing life and become part of it.

We think that as individual beings we are unable to affect the life of the planet or the life of the cosmos. Yet this is not true. Our remembrance of souls, whether those we have known or those who are personally unknown to us, has a widespread effect. Our prayers for souls can cross all spiritual dimensions and assist those souls who may be in need of our help, or send love to those we wish to receive it. This capacity of the prayer of our heart to benefit other beings, whether in a physical body or not, is always present. This is why the 'Day of Remembrance' asks to become part of our lives - so that no one will be forgotten.

I invite you to watch the short video that was created as part of our honoring of souls in the Day of Remembrance held at Light Omega, and to see if such a Day may find its place in your heart and life. For the motto of our time is and must be: "Let none be forgotten."

With all blessings and love - Julie and Those Who Serve the Light

“Out of the unknown comes the known. This is a principle not only related to our individual lives upon the Earth, but a cosmic principle of Creation. Out of the unknown comes the known.

What does this mean for us individually and collectively? It means that we must, if we wish change to occur for ourselves or for the world as a whole, be willing to submit ourselves to the unknown, to surrender to it, even to embrace it. For the time of unknowing involves the dismantling of the old ways of being, ways of thinking, ways of living, so that something new can take their place. The unknown is what gives birth to the new.

The energy of Shiva is built into our personal lives, insuring growth toward what we are meant to become, and it is built into the world’s life, insuring the fulfillment of a destiny ordained since the beginning of time, that this planet would become a sacred planet, a planet of beauty, peace, and holiness.

We feel far from that now. We feel embedded in a collective thought process that is far removed from the sacred. We witness life around us and we feel disillusioned. We feel uncertain, even frightened. All is not as it should be. All does not appear to be going in a good direction. We witness this, but do not know what to do about it or even how to think about it.

This is the time of the creation of the new, the time when the old premises about reality and about ourselves must be taken apart so that they can become servants of the new, so that they can become servants of greater wholeness.

When we say to ourselves that we do not know how the world is going to come to a better place, that we cannot fathom how, with problems as large as appear to be present, this could be possible, we are exactly in the midst of the Shiva energy, the unknown, the invisible motion of Creation, the dismantling of the old in order to give birth to the new.

This new thing that is waiting to be born has no precedent. It cannot be foreseen or predicted. It is unexpected. It is, until it appears, invisible. We wait for it in the state of being that allows the unknown to exist within us. We wait in emptiness. We wait in surrender. This does not mean that all activity on behalf of what we deem to be good must cease.”…

Tribute - Stephen Hawking, In Service to Light
Jan. 8, 1942 - March 14, 2018

Julie of Light Omega

“I write to you, Beloved Ones, to honor the passing of one who came to the Earth to be not only a mind that gave birth to books that inspired millions, but also to honor one who came in service to the light, to show the way of light that values life in the presence of great limitation. This choice to live in limitation with ALS and immobility of speech and action was the gift of Stephen Hawking, and has been, and shall remain a bright star to navigate by for those in many places who also live in limitation.

Such a soul takes on limitation as both a sacrifice and a learning, often one more than the other. As this particular soul returns to the light from which he came, let us honor the willing sacrifice that allowed him to be a model for us in transcending limitation and suffering, and, indeed, in bearing it with the joy of life itself. And let us honor our own similar sacrifices, for many of us have similarly come with a willingness to live in limitation with courage, trust, and love as a gift to humanity itself.

Our own service as we experience the suffering of limitation is often larger than we think, for many of us perceive primarily our own pain. Yet, we have often taken this on to show a pathway through it, not only to ourselves, but to others who may benefit from our experience.

Such was the gift of Stephen Hawking, a wayshower of a path of transcendence of the human spirit that remained free and joyful, even in the presence of severe hardship. We bow, and honor this soul that has now passed on, asking that his legacy inspire us to hold with compassion and trust our own sacrifices and limitations, whatever they may be, and to seek in whatever ways are possible to allow them to open a way for others.”

With love and gratitude – Julie

…”We are well-intentioned. We wish for a more peaceful and loving world. Yet, something prevents us from recognizing our own potential as agents of change, not merely through outer activity, but through our consciousness itself. Every consciousness affects every other. Every consciousness affects those around itself, more so when the verbal content is also communicated and shared. This is a view of change that is fundamental to our empowering ourselves to become more conscious. It is based on the belief that: we matter.

We matter. Everything we do matters. There is no such thing as being neutral in a world in which everything and everyone is interacting. Our indifference, unconsciousness, neglect, numbness, sleepiness, and avoidance are all communicated as energies that radiate out from us whether we speak words to this effect or not. We matter. We are transparent to the network of life of which we are a part.

Today, in particular, as forces of separation, isolation, polarization, and fear of one group toward another are growing stronger, it matters more than ever that we have the courage to be conscious, and the courage to remain aligned with the values of kindness and love that we hold. For of all that we might be conscious of, that which is being eroded and replaced by fear and hopelessness is the consciousness of the importance of love as it affects our individual and collective life. In its place, distrust, enmity, and a desire to just take care of ourselves and let others do the same is being brought forward.

Within this milieu, it is more important than ever that we consciously stand for the light that counteracts these forces, and that we care about those who are suffering, whether we know them or not. It is the time, beloved ones, for each of us to stand firmly in the light of our own deepest truth, and to not give power to forces of self-doubt that tell us that we do not matter or that we do not have enough love to make a difference.

Love is at the core of our being, whether we feel it or not. To stand with those who are suffering, today, is an act of love, and it is part of the movement of expanding light that is currently taking place. Believe in the truth that your deepest heart carries. Carry it forward to those whom you meet during the day, without asking them to reciprocate. You are a blazing light of consciousness, beloved one, and in your hands and in the hands of the Divine One lies the destiny of the world.”

With deepest blessings and gratitude - Julie and Those Who Serve the Light

“All Are One - Twenty-five Steps Toward Unity”

Dearest Beloved Ones,

As we endeavor to put the principle “All Are One” into practice, the embodied self may feel uncertain as to how to do this. The soul knows without any uncertainty that All Are One. The embodied self, accustomed to a history of separation from Divine consciousness and of self-protection, may feel unsure and even afraid to take steps forward in this regard.

Yet, because we are each souls, created with a Divine core, the truth of unity is not far from us but very near, as near as our own deepest self. Therefore, we may reach toward it and try to disengage from any fear that may tell us that it is unsafe to believe that All Are One. This fear is not real. It is based on an undermining of the truth of love as our essential nature, the essential nature of each embodied soul.

Here, therefore, are some examples tor putting into practice the principle of divine Unity:

1. Monitor your speech so you do not say anything critical about anyone’s inner character. Speak about behaviors or policies, not about persons.

2. Monitor your thoughts so you do not judge or feel contempt or disdain toward anyone, including toward those whose perspectives differ greatly from your own.

3. With those with whom you feel uncomfortable, practice kindness instead of avoidance or rejection.

4. Be willing to stand for the truth you hold most dear and allow others to do the same.

5. Practice kindness daily. Practice with those more distant from you at first if this is easier, then with those who are closer who you may have greater difficulty with.

6. Take no form of love for granted. When someone asks you how you are, ask them how they are and listen.

7. When someone asks to speak to you, assume that this is a message that has a deeper purpose than may appear. Ask to be shown this purpose. Ask from your heart.

8. Take no one and nothing for granted. Be grateful for everything. Let all roles disappear. Recognize the ‘personhood’ not the role of each being.

9. Affirm the Divine essence of every living being every day. This is often done through a prayer/meditation practice, but also can be done throughout the day. Affirm the Divine essence of every living being.

10. Welcome to your heart animals that are pets and animals that are wild. The birds flying by or the squirrels scurrying by, or the ants busy with their own mission – invite them into your consciousness as living beings with a purpose of their own that they are uniquely created to fulfill.

11. Practice communing with a plant or tree as often as possible. Thank the plants or trees that are near you for the gift of their presence. Thank them in person. Thank them with your love.

12. Assume that all that lives, whether in plant, animal, mineral, or human form is becoming more conscious. Welcome this, and seek to live in relationship with it.

13. When you hear about the death of a person you did not know well, honor that passing. Bow to the life that has been lived. Pray that it continue in light. This need not take much time, only the inner acknowledgment of a soul.

14. Look around you. Remind yourself that everything you see exists in relationship with you. Birds singing, geese calling, the sound of rain falling – all this exists in relationship with you in the wholeness of each moment in which you experience it. To know this is to perceive Divine life.

15. Treat each person you meet as your brother or sister. Bow to your human family as you say “Namaste.”

16. You may not yet know how to love each person well. Ask to be shown.

17. Be kind to yourself. You are part of all that is and were created by the same Oneness that lives in all. Do not exclude yourself from love, for in excluding yourself, you are likely to subsequently exclude others.

18. Sanctify the specific Day of the Divine that may be set aside for this purpose or that may be each day of your life. Sanctify each Day of the Divine by giving it to God.

19. If someone expresses anger toward you, know that they are feeling hurt beneath this anger. Allow yourself to offer love as a balm for this hurt so that you diminish the amount of anger in the world and act as a force for healing.

20. Forgive yourself for those things you may think are unforgivable. You may think that these only have to do with you, yet in reality they affect all else, acting as roadblocks to love.

21. Give something that you may have wanted to keep for yourself to someone who needs it. You have only ‘wanted’ it, whereas someone else may ‘need’ it. Practice generosity and letting go.

22. Take nothing for granted. Allow yourself to respond with wonder toward the life of each soul you meet, as well as to the earth, the sky, and the delights of the senses.

23. Take no one for granted. Express gratitude for everything, even for the smallest token of love and devotion. Even the smallest token of love can grow larger when it is seen and appreciated. So, too, can your own heart grow larger in the presence of gratitude.

24. Hold all unconsciousness of others with compassion, not only because you have been there at times as well, but also because each one is learning how to be more conscious and must learn from the step they are at.

25. Believe that everything you do matters. Allow yourself to take responsibility for your own consciousness so that you act in ways that uphold life. The One Who is All blesses all who share in responsibility for Creation in this way.

With deepest blessings – Julie

"All Are One - Twenty-five Steps Toward Unity" by Julie of Light Omega from the Light Omega Community Newsletter No. 37, July 11th, 2018:http://lightomega.org/NLC/20180711-News-No.37.html

Please Note: The above "All Are One - Twenty-five Steps Toward Unity" may be reprinted with credit given to the source of the writing.
These twenty-five steps will soon be a book available on Amazon.com for those who might wish to order it.

…“Many of you know from your own spiritual learning that what you believe you become. So, if you believe that you are not changeable, if you believe that you are ‘stuck,’ then, you have a better chance of being stuck. If you believe that all you can do is repeat old patterns, then that is likely what you will do. But if you are in a place where you can feel something true about partnership with the Divine, and if you are willing to take a risk to do something different - it almost doesn’t matter what you choose to do, just so long as you don’t do the same thing that you have been doing before – then things can change.

There is a way of becoming really childlike about this in terms of what taking a risk means. Do something that you haven’t done before. Allow yourself to do something you haven’t done and maybe it will work out and maybe it won’t. The benefit is in breaking the hold of the energy pattern and in breaking the hold of the belief that “this is how I’ve always been.”

This is a way to work within and around what looks like an impasse. It is based on the fact that you are a soul, and as a soul you have access to light, and having access to light, you have a capacity to do more than just through your own will because of the intention of light that can work in concert with human intention.

There are those of you who have taken on very difficult energies in service to the Earth, not so much in relation to your own learning but in service to the Earth, and I am not in any way saying that these energies can be eradicated through your own will. This is because where an energy has been taken on in service, it is there until Divine timing causes it to leave. Yet, even in the presence of a difficult energy, light is intrinsically more powerful than anything else. This is because your soul is a microcosm of the Source. Existing within you is the entire universe and the Source of Creation. Therefore, when you are trying to get past an impasse, you need to work with the elements of belief that have been discussed - to not get involved with character statements of: “I have always been this way,” Also, to be willing to take a risk and to feel that you are capable of changing because there is something else going on in you other than the impasse. You are capable of doing something else.”...

The 'Day of Purification'
Guruji-Ma

Dearest Beloved Ones,

The Hopi have a word for it – the ‘Day of Purification’ - in which the children of Earth shall be confronted with a challenge to their pre-existing values through a series of calamitous events that will allow new values to emerge in the presence of much suffering. This ‘Day’ is upon us, for these events are happening to both the physical body of the Earth and to her inhabitants. It is not a ‘day’ in the calendar sense, but a time of intense purification in which all that is hidden must be revealed, and all that is in darkness must be brought to the light.

Take stock, beloved ones. For all that is hidden and pushed aside must now come into view.

What shall our response be during such a ‘Day,’ during such a time when life may present intense challenges to us? What shall our response be? This question can only be answered from the deepest wisdom of our hearts, for only our own heart in its depth has enough love, compassion, and wisdom to move through such a time with trust and grace, and only our heart in its humanity can forgive the frailty that leads to behaviors and decisions by others that are inhumane.

We must go through such a ‘Day of Purification’ by first forsaking indifference, and second by seeking to join with the deepest trust in love that we are capable of. In the presence of fear, we assert the power of light to show the way through. Such light is present in all cases without exception. In the presence of that which discredits love or seeks to disempower it, we must cling to it as the means to endure the tempests and storms that may befall us.

There are many on this planet, today, who are suffering greatly through loss of their homes, their loved ones, through hunger, and through an absence of physical safety. We honor these souls through our wish to uphold them, and through the hope we maintain for ourselves and others. Without trust and hope, we become vulnerable to the wave of despair that many now feel about the circumstances of their lives. With love and hope, we can find the means to meet any new challenge that may arise.

What is important, here, is to recognize the power of love to sustain us during times of adversity, not simply as a thought, but as a bodily experience. In the presence of love and light, we may remain steady in the face of attempts at coercion, and also in the face of attempts to create indifference within us. With love, we know that everything we do, think and say matters. It is the task of this time to remain faithful to this knowledge.

Beloved Ones, during the ‘Day of Purification, additional spiritual practices which enhance the light that we may carry become useful, not only in maintaining our own sense of wellbeing, but also acting as a bulwark against incoming energies of darkness that seek to dissuade us from the reality we are holding. In order to increase such embodied light, there are a few principles and practices that you may find helpful:

Spiritual Practices for the 'Day of Purification'

2. The Principle of Containment: https://lightomega.org/Ind/Pure/Containment.html
3. Affirmations of Light: https://lightomega.org/Earth/ANC/Affirmations-of-Light.html

You may also wish to join the Light Omega Sunday gatherings online as a way of replenishing and reinforcing the light that your body and consciousness can carry.
Contact Meg, (meg@lightomega.org) our Online Coordinator, to take part.

Dearest Beloved Ones, the time we are in contains many challenges, yet you have chosen to be here to meet these challenges, and to help others meet them as well. Courage is needed to deal with the revelations that purification shall bring forth, yet joy and love will also be present along the way.

May the Earth be blessed by our holding her in our love at this time, and may she receive from us what she has so abundantly given - unconditional love, time without end.

With deepest blessings. Pranam – Guruji-Ma

2018 Beloved Guruji-Ma .jpg [ 17.66 KiB | Viewed 13338 times ]

Dearest Beloved Ones,

This Newsletter comes to you with great urgency.

Many of you may be aware of the recent U.N. report on Climate Change and the fact that unprecedented weather changes were forecast to come sooner than had been expected. At this time, all souls who serve the light are being called forth to bring their united efforts to respond to this impending crisis that will affect every living being on the planet. Even at present, there is no one who is unaffected by the changes that have taken place in the Earth's atmosphere, waters, and land.

Therefore, an urgent call is going out from the Realms of Light to those who serve the light to take a more active part in responding to the needs of this time. This call goes to each of you, Beloved Ones, for your heart is connected to the Heart of the One, and your love is as vast as that love.

We bless you and thank you for your participation in this effort at this time.

Those Who Serve the Light

The Common Life and the One Life
Guruji-Ma

We have spoken together about the One Life that lives in God and that is the Divine within all of us and within all things. We have spoken of this, and hold it in our hearts to be the truth. Yet, we have difficulty living this truth, putting it into practice, sometimes because fear causes us to close down to the needs of others and to seek to protect our own concerns and our own safety and security alone, and sometimes because we do not know how to put into practice the principle of ‘One Life.’ We do not know what we would do differently if we could live this principle.

And so I would like, today, to offer a translation of the ‘One life’ that is the Divine within all, the essential oneness of everything, into an understanding of the ‘common life.’ The ‘common life’ is more accessible to us. It is what we share in common with others who may not yet perceive themselves to be part of the One. The ‘common life’ draws together that which has been dispersed. It draws together the many into the ‘one.’ It draws together those who have separate and particular or personal interests into the interests that all share in common.

In choosing to uphold the ‘common life’ we uphold the One Life. Yet, we do this with increasing consciousness of what we owe to our collective humanity, to our fellow man and woman and child, and to the Earth itself. We ask ourselves: What do we share in common, and how can we be more responsible toward that common essence?

There are many answers that our individual hearts may give to us when we ask this question, many ways that caring for our ‘common life’ may be expressed. But certainly one of the most important ones is that we need, together, to care for the life of our planet, and especially in light of climate change, we need to place our actions where our hearts are in no longer thinking of ourselves as separate entities in relation to the Earth, but as part of a collective whole that must act together, part by part, individual by individual. We are each responsible for the life of the Earth and for our ‘common life.’

If we think of ourselves as separate and as individual, then we may feel very limited in terms of how we may personally affect climate change. If we think of ourselves as inextricably woven into a larger whole, the whole of humanity, the whole of the inhabitants of the Earth, then we must hold that everything we do makes a difference to that whole. Everything we do makes a difference.

Out of this consciousness of ‘common life’ and of mattering to the whole, can come decisions regarding how we may honor the ‘common life’ by becoming more responsible participants of that life, of that reality. Indeed, we begin to dwell in the reality of the ‘common life,’ the life that we share. We let this become more real to us, and out of this reality we choose to care for that which we belong to in the same way we care for our families and our children. We care for that which belongs to us. We care for that which we share in common.

This ‘common life’ calls us, now, with great urgency to act on behalf of itself, to no longer think of ourselves as not mattering, but of taking the leap of faith that we do matter, and accepting the responsibility of upholding our ‘common life.’ Of upholding the needs of the Earth at this time of her need to reverse the effects of carbon pollution and of climate change. We need to let our actions come from our hearts to become citizens of the life we share.

What can we do that is different? We can become more conscious that everything matters. Instead of believing that the Earth has an infinite supply of resources and that we can continue to act in comfortable and familiar ways regarding the use of those resources, we can realize that the Earth has a limited supply of resources, and that we must share them together. What we take for ourselves has an effect on the whole. What we use for ourselves may prevent someone else from having enough.

If we lived together in a physical community powered by solar energy rather than an energy grid, and if that solar energy had a limited supply that might be used, based on how much energy could be stored from the sun, we would know that there was an endpoint to our use of electricity beyond which there would be no more. What had been stored would be used up. We would not, if we were conscious, act within our own daily life as if there were an infinite supply. We would turn off lights in rooms not in use. We would not heat rooms that were not in use. We would not make automobile trips that were not necessary in order to reduce the use of fuel. And we would think of other ways that what we do matters. In a word, we would become more conscious of sharing a ‘common life.’

We are called, today, to investigate within the forum of our own consciousness, how ready we are to restrict our use of fossil fuel based products in order to serve the ‘common life.’ We are being called even beyond this, to think of how we may serve the life of all, even as we go about our daily lives. As this becomes a living reality for us, and as we are willing to sacrifice certain comforts that we may have grown used to so that the ‘common life’ may thrive and so that we may not take from the Earth more than we need, we will be creating upon the Earth the One Life that is truly what we all share. We will be creating a bridge through the ‘common life’ to the ‘One Life.’

May this be the lesson of today, and may we find in our hearts the willingness to live it, the courage to commit ourselves to it, and the understanding that what we give to this ‘common life’ we give to ourselves, for we are not and have never been separate. May the Earth and her inhabitants blossom as a result of our individual efforts.

Om Namo Bhagavate.
We bow to the Supreme Being, the One Life that lives within all.

2018 Beloved Guruji-Ma .jpg [ 17.66 KiB | Viewed 13261 times ]

‘Holding Love in Darkness‘
by Guruji-Ma

Dear Beloved Ones,

In the wake of the tragic mass shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, followed by last week’s shooting at a yoga studio, and last night's violence in Thousand Oaks, California, we are called to our deepest hearts to examine what we believe about the time we are living in.

When we receive blessed gifts from the universe it is easier to believe in a Divine reality that holds all. When suffering increases and events of extreme violence take place one after the other, it calls upon our deepest trust to find trust in the benevolent heart of the One that holds the universe in itself, and desires only love and peace for the children of the Earth.

We live in a time of fear when we must consciously and deliberately choose love over all else. We live in a time of disillusionment when we must consciously and deliberately choose hope over all else. We live in a time of dissension, conflict, and polarization, when we must consciously and deliberately choose to believe in the goodness that forms the core of each human heart because of its connection with the soul. We need to believe in the common humanity of man.

Our hearts are supported when we understand that this upsurge of darkness that we see occurring around us is part of a great upheaval that the world is going through and the U.S. in particular is going through. This upheaval involves the rooting out of patterns of motivation that have led to violence and the capacity for a disregard of the humanity of each other. The purpose of this upheaval is so that we may become free of these patterns, conscious of what has lived within us and ready to change our values. This is the cause of the darkness in our present collective life. It is purification on a global level, activated by spiritual light that is doing its work.

Such an understanding of course does not console the ones who have just lost family members or friends in Pittsburgh or in Thousand Oaks. Nor does it console our own grieving hearts that simply wants shooting to stop and to live in a world of peace and harmony. We are, as a collective humanity, crying out with one voice, accompanied by the voice of the suffering and grieving Earth, for killing to stop and for the life of each one to be treated as sacred.

We are serving this goal, beloved ones, by longing for it. In this sense, our grief is not wasted. Our longing is calling into being that force of love and unity that is part of the God-Force we call 'Mother' to come to aid suffering humanity and the suffering Earth so that the violence may end. This is not just violence toward human beings, but toward the Earth itself. And we know as we cry out, that there are other examples of violence that we do not know about because they are not given space in our news media.

In this time of increasing darkness, we call out through longing and through prayer, and we commit ourselves even more deeply than we have to being a source of love in the world, a source that will counteract the darkness. We may not believe in the effectiveness of this wholeheartedly. We may believe in love but not in its power. And so we must again dig deeper into the roots of our consciousness that live in our soul to know that the universe of Divine creation is made of love, is built on love, is founded in love. That aberrations are now occurring is a result of human beings having lived for so long with a sense of aloneness and a lack of a feeling of safety. Out of this history, come the movements toward violence that we see today - the terrible, tragic, unfathomable expressions of souls who have separated or been separated from their own heart's truth.

In the face of this, let us not separate from our own truth. Let us cling to love as if to a life preserver in a stormy sea. Let us cling with all our might to the belief in love's effectiveness to change the minds and hearts that have lost touch with it.

Dearest beloved ones, become a force of love in your own life so that you may serve the change you desire in the world.
Become that love that you wish the world to manifest.

In this time of grief and sorrow over the recent losses of innocents whose lives were taken when they thought they were safe, we pray that all may live in safety and in a world that is not based on fear. May we each bring that time into being through our own heart's commitment to love, for ourselves, our loved ones, and for the world.

With deep gratitude for your being here at this time of the Earth's transition into a new consciousness.
May your journey be blessed. - Guruji-Ma
