Weekly Inspirational Message from May 29, 2010
(coming to and through Susi)

In the beginning was love and in the end, love remains.  The human experience is an opportunity for love to know itself by discovering what it isn’t and consciously choosing what it is.  What if all the challenges, the pains, the shames, the losses were no more real than when a group of children play war or CNI or cops and robbers?  What if who you really are can’t be altered from the template of perfection from which you were cast?  What if free will is your ability to assume whatever role calls to you out of curiosity, fear, forgetfulness or wonder?  This appears to be the message from all the great teachers of all the great traditions.  Life is a dream or a nightmare, changing at the whim of perception, forgetfulness, remembrance….  If we could but remember that the waking dream, be it heavenly or ghastly, lasts only as long as the heart slumbers, we would have less fear or attachment to either.   For the good stuff to which we ferociously cling, has planned obsolescence in the world of form and the pains and horrors also have a termination date.  How strange to think as we pray for or frantically seek an end to our suffering, we hold the expiration date in our own heart, locked away in the same chamber that holds our Truth.

Does this make pain any less painful or joy any less joyous?  No.  But it can lessen the sense of powerlessness, the fear of loss, the clinging, and the degree of suffering.  If you are reading this message then you probably are not so steeped into survival that your view of life and humanity has shrunk to daily survival challenges.  Wherever you are, if you can expand your daily lens to see backstage to the part of self that is director of your life, to the choice of stage setting you have on an ongoing basis, to the love that is present, hidden or otherwise in every fiber of creation, you might begin to discern the escape hatch from the present drama. Or follow the exit signs to a world where the power of thought and imagination has dominion over helplessness and hopelessness; where the surrender of the dream only leads to a grander vision, one accessed through the infinite lens of Spirit.  Know things in the world of form and everyday consciousness are accelerating.  Stay very present in the moment and step by step, breath by breath you will find yourself heading to the exit of this yuga (time in history) and into the next where remembrance is your travel guide.
