Subject: [K-list] Whom shall we honor?
From: Lesley Richardson

I've noticed today that the posts have gone back and
forth, often seeming to separate us rather than join
us. It's easy to forget in the heat of the discussions
that everyone who posts here and everyone we meet is a
being incarnated on this earth with a sacred charge --
to evolve back to the oneness. No-one is better or
worse than anyone else and all that separates us is an
illusion of ego, held onto tightly by that ego. Every
single rock, plant, animal, and being. Every song,
every path, every good or evil says something to
someone, regardless. I am awed by the sentience of
this planet, this place, this Cosmos. I personally do
not believe that even those that we could label the
worst among us go to hell. Our teachers are everywhere
and sometimes teachers teach the most by defining the
shadows against which we can better see the light. It
depends on what the shadows are that you need to
define the light. Regardless, I believe every part of
it is designed perfectly for each of us. And I don't
say that from some comfortable middle class life in a
suburb. Most of my personal holocaust does not bear
repeating here but it was real. I've been in some of
the worst slums on this planet, from Crossroads in
Capetown to the back streets of Istanbul. I was
severely physically beaten as a very small child,
sexually abused, shot at, attacked by a guy wielding
an iron bar, and on the wrong side of guns from both
sides fighting in Ireland. As far as I'm concerned,
hell was on earth. But I'm through on the other side
although it's taken me until nearly 50 to get there.
Part of the reason is because of my teachers...among
whom I include Angelique and some other, very wise
women and men -- school teachers, my mother, several
people that I know are adepts, friends who walked with
me a long time. Without some of these people I simply
would not be here any more. Sometimes the damage is so
bad that it's almost impossible to recover on your
own. I consider myself very lucky. I have returned to
oneness. I am profoundly grateful for the amazing,
unconditonal love and acceptance that was given to me
that helped me on the way. In some way, every one of
us is a blessing to someone else, or more than someone
else and we may never know who or what. I have my
beloved children, my pets, my garden, my work, my
friends, and my teachers. But without my teachers,
singly or together, I would not be here. Period. Not
even the love I have for my children was sufficient to
keep me alive.
Seek and ye shall find. Ask and ye shall be given.
Peace I give unto you, not as the world gives unto
you. Those are from the Bible, but such Holy teachings
exist everywhere. And either in spoken or written
form, they have guided me home.
Lesley
