The
Infinite Passion Of Life
Here
we are in October approaching the Wiccan New Year at Samhain, the time
of life when many Earth-Based traditions celebrate the final harvest
of planet Earths growing cycle in the Western hemisphere. Our
focus turns from outer planting in the Earths soil to an inward
focus of planting in the darkness of the invisible realm where our thoughts
and feelings will take root and in Spring we will reap what we have
sown. The Law of Cause and Effect, that operates in the 3-D realm, teaches
us to be mindful of what we are doing. There is another law that operates
above and beyond the 3-D realm, that is the Law of Transformation, also
known as the Law of Love. It is even more powerful than the Law of Cause
and Effect because it engages the heart. This law tells me that if I
want transformation I must pay attention to what my heart is doing,
and what my heart is feeling. Living more meaningfully and joyfully
from the heart allows us to live "in the world but not of the world".
The body, mind, Spirit connection that defines us as human/spiritual
beings speaks to me of the fascinating paradox of what Ill call
immanent transcendence. As we build our relationship with the immediacy
of the Love of our Being, we more and more easily transcend and transform
what used to be petty or hugely annoying occurrences into a truly holy
continuity of love and peace. Does that even seem like a real possibility?
It is real! Being totally in tune with the realm of Love makes it possible.
Slowly
and ever so surely I am learning to trust in the infinite goodness that
underlies each moment. I am learning to focus my attention on Love and
not let fear generated ego run wild. Living life as a walking peace/love
meditation is not just for the monastic gurus on the mountaintop. It
is a gift for all of us, available right here, right now. It is a gift
that brings an immediate joy and depth to our experience that didnt
seem possible even a moment ago. Love can open our heart and mind that
quickly. This kind of Love also has transformative consequences for
our immune system, our heart rate, our whole being. Love actually physiologically
transforms all our biological systems and coordinates our functioning
to maximize our well-being. Centering our bodies and feelings in the
flow of Love melts away obstacles by aligning us with a power that is
beyond the seeming limitations of 3-D sense-based functioning. Moving
toward this Love more and more makes me very aware of limitless opportunities
despite what my fear-based focus tells me. The miracles that seem to
happen are simply the Law of Love in action. As we hold this possibility
dear to our hearts we can and will transform the world. I invite you
to join me in holding any change you want to see lovingly in your heart
and give thanks even now for the transformative power of the ineffable
Love that transforms the seemingly commonplace into the ecstatic joy
and peace that is our birthright as children of the Sacred. Blessed
Be to all of us as we move toward this holy New Year celebration in
a new light. As Frederico Fellini says, "There is no end. There
is no beginning. There is only the infinite passion of life."
