ABSOLUTELY SAFE AS LOVE

5/17/2020

'I AM YOU' Artist: Katherine Treffinger

You are Love.
I am Love.
I am you.
Your ‘I am’ and my ‘I am’ is the same I AM. I AM is Love. I AM is consciousness. All is consciousness. Consciousness is a presence that is Love beyond love. Love is All in all. Perfect, sparkling Love. This is not a riddle. It is Absolute Truth.
When I was hit over my so called head by my God experience it was a submersion in Love. I was blissed out in an infinite ocean of Love. Everything sparkled with this Love. It was laughable to think that we don’t feel safe. For many reasons this was a pivotal experience and is my point of reference as I navigate this dream. Somehow I would like to make this your reference point also.
“There is absolutely nothing in this world, or anywhere else, to worry about. No matter how things may appear in your life, all is well. You are Divinity Itself, just the way you are. Now when you start to think about just the way you are, you spoil it, for you say to yourself, "How can I be Divinity? I'm this and I'm that." Who told you to think? Your thoughts will do it to you all the time. You simply remain in that moment. In that moment all is well. In that moment you are free. In that moment you are filled with joy.” The Collected Works of Robert Adams.
“Just the way you are.” That is love. Nothing to do, nothing to change, no where to go, nothing to have. Just the way you are you are, perfect Divinity. Now.
The Divine is Love. This Love is Omnipotent. All powerful. What that means is nothing has power over Love. Nothing. Love is Omnipresent. This means there is nowhere that Love is not. Love is Omniscient. All knowing. Love is Awareness. Love is Consciousness. Love is All. There is nothing else. You are God. You are Love.
There is nowhere to go to find Divine Love. You are already that for which you may seek.
You are absolutely safe. You can sit quietly and ask that Love show itself to your experience. In any given situation you can ask it to be revealed. Ask with your whole heart. No matter what anything looks like Divine Love will show you the back door. Nothing is impossible with Omniscience and the answer is never something your mind can figure out. It will just come to you. Love will answer if you surrender to it in any now. The embodiment of any impending threat is Divine Love also. It is only your task to see that God as you and God as the threat are the same. It’s a dream. In Truth there is only Love. Practice this and Love will take over your experience. Then it will become your reference point.

“We were talking, about the space between us all
And the people, who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth, then it's far too late when they pass away
We were talking, about the love we all could share
When we find it, to try our best to hold it there, with our love
With our love we could save the world, if they only knew
Try to realize it's all within yourself, no-one else can make you change
And to see you're really only very small
And life flows on within you and without you
We were talking, about the love that's gone so cold
And the people who gain the world and lose their soul
They don't know, they can't see, are you one of them?
When you've seen beyond yourself
Then you may find peace of mind is waiting there
And the time will come when you see we're all one
And life flows on within you and without you”
George Harrison, John Lennon, Paul McCartney

OUR LIVING DREAM WANTS OUR ATTENTION

Art by Cindy Bilotti and Katherine Treffinger in collaboration

Dream interpretation is a powerful doorway into the otherwise hidden reaches of the psyche. At some point, before discovering Non Dualism, I started perceiving life as a dream, realizing that interpretation of life circumstances was in fact, as powerful as sleeping dream interpretation. It only makes sense, for I have come to see that we are in fact living a dream, or rather Divine Consciousness is dreaming a life.
In thinking about writing this, a memory came to me of a young man from Alaska that spent the night at my house on the way to his destination. I did not know him. A friend in Alaska had asked if one of the leaders of the environmental movement up there could stay with me at my home in Northern California. Of course I said yes. I was out in my backyard with him, at one point, and he was ranting about the clearcutting that was going on in Alaska. It was very disturbing but I had a more immediate concern. He was pacing back and forth in my garden with his big boots, stepping on my precious plants. I had to tell him to pace elsewhere. Now, one would ordinarily think he was just preoccupied by the atrocities that are going on. I knew better. This young man had a wound that needed addressing and it was revealing itself in his desire to fight clearcutting and his, albeit, unconscious, attempt at clearcutting my garden plants. I hate to say it, but his need to heal was helping create that which he was fighting. He needed the dream symbolism. When I say ‘helping’ create, I mean just that because there are many in the collective walking around with similar wounds. Collective wounding is big energy and it creates big mirrors. Now I am not saying this to kick anyone’s guilt into action, far from it. We are headed in the other direction. Each one of us is only one contributor to the collective energy field. However, having said that, let me add what a minister, of a church I attended long ago, would often say “you only have one consciousness that you are responsible for and that is your own, and that is a big job!”
The Universe is very generous. The Universe, being Love wants a return to Love. We are all expressions of Divine Love. Most of us have forgotten. When Love is lacking in some area of one’s being the Universe gives us opportunities to heal, to make this return to Love. This is one of the beauties of this dream life; it is so filled with mirrors that are begging for us to pay attention to them. They are gifts. But until we pay attention in the correct way, they are problems, big, insurmountable problems. There are so many lovely people out there with such beautiful, heartfelt intentions creating what they see to be solutions. However, we may take care of the problem one place, but until the need for the mirror is addressed, it is the nature of the dream for it to pop up elsewhere. I'm referring to energy and energy must be expressed. I am not saying don’t help in your way to correct situations through taking action. Please continue to do so if you feel the inclination. What I am saying is look at where your finger is pointing. What is disturbing you the most? Then look inside where the other three fingers are pointing back and deal with healing that. In the long run, this is vastly more important. Stop adding to the pollution of the field.
With so much going on that appears wrong we are all witnessing displays of anger, indignation, despair, fear, righteousness, etc. This is understandable but all of these feelings are at their best motivators, and at their worst contributors. Let these feelings motivate us to heal our relation to loving ourselves, as well as heal the situations. We cannot heal the situation with unhealed wounding or negative feelings. Not going to happen. The gift must be discovered before the mirror can dissolve. The mirror is most often ignored so it is getting very loud. I, therefore, suggest addressing this. The time is now. It is not going to take everybody to create a shift, but it will take a critical mass. We are all meant to be heading toward the Truth of that which we are, Love. That which is not Love is luggage we cannot carry on our journey.
My way has been to ask for guidance and healing in meditation. Surrender this quest to Divine Awareness, the mind is not the point. It can't figure out what it has worked so hard to hide. Surrender and listen. Rest in the knowing that the freeing power of Love is present and wants to show us the way to Love. The mirroring is often not a direct equation. Sometimes the path to the wound is a bit circuitous but when you arrive there it is a beautiful ‘aha’ moment that can be extremely freeing/healing in itself. Once you have that moment, the grip on the negative feelings can loosen up and there is more space for forgiveness and sending positivity and love in a direction that needs it desperately. I know what I am suggesting is going to meet with resistance. Trump is an excellent example. Everything he does is a very convoluted, creepy way of calling for love. Yet here he is in this archetypal role of president that is currently the target of so much negativity/anger/hatred. Does his behavior warrant it? Yes. Does the negativity remedy anything? No. At one point, Ram Dass had a photo of George Bush on his night stand. He wanted to remember every morning and every evening that George was God being George. Ram Dass clearly did not like all that George was up to but this was his remedy. I pray every day for “my enemies”, for those who are the most powerful perpetrators of suffering.
Consciously living this dream life is a paradox. We embrace and experience that which is given us, while following the call to awaken to our True nature. The apparent world is at a critical juncture. I hear the alarm ringing. Don’t you? Time to wake up. The time is Now. The window is small but it is open. Let’s lay down all that keeps us from fitting through that window. Move toward Love, move toward True Home, step into Awareness.

'I AM' IS THE WAY AND THE LIGHT

5/3/2020

Ever since we were old enough to stand in front of a mirror the same witnessing presence has been staring into the mirror. As the years roll by the image changes and the experiences build history and the mind accrues information. The looker has remained the same. The 'I' that has experienced all of these myriad of experiences has remained the same. The 'I' that has witnessed all of the mind’s thoughts has not changed one iota from all of these thoughts. Thoughts come and go, experiences come and go, physicality comes and goes but 'I', the experiencer, the looker remains the same. Culturally we are taught to identify with the thoughts, feelings, the body, i.e. the experience, when in reality we are the experiencer, the 'I', awareness, consciousness, that which always is. A shift in focus from what is being experienced to the experiencer that is witnessing the experiences creates a paradigm shift. I was walking down the street being aware of being aware when ‘my world’ exploded into pure Love and Absolute safety. Rather than being aware of the 'things' around me I was aware of the aliveness and light that all apparent substance is made up of. That only lasted for 3 weeks but it is now my reference point. Being aware of being aware, if practiced regularly, aligns one with the Truth of one's Being, one's Divinity and takes one into a realm of silence/ peace/stillness. Life is lived intuitively, guided by the intelligence that emerges from the Silence. Living from this place naturally places one right in the present moment. In fact time drops away. Becoming identified with this 'I Am' is freedom. The world can be experiencing all kinds of tribulations but one who is practicing being Awareness is not of this world. Living in Awareness is Grace.
