People have asked me
"How do you live a Spiritual Life in the real world"
This particular season is as good a time to comment on this as any.
The way of the Tao - the invisible flow of the essence of Life
follows cycles within cycles - like the breath - like the tides of
the oceans - the cycles of the moons, the rotation of the planet
around the Sun, the rotation of this Solar System around a central
locus in this Galaxy .. and so on ..
The calendars of the times of Man are just that - man made - with
only a passing resemblance to the Way of the Tao - or the play of
the consciousness - the unseen laws of cycles within cycles - each
of which obeys its own flow - each of which affects us as we live
life on this Planet we call Earth.
For those in the Northern Hemisphere, the tide has started to come
in again - the longest night is giving way to ever shortening
nights of Winter and ever lengthening days to Spring. For you, it
is the celebration of Rebirth - the awakening from a sleep.
In the Southern Hemisphere, exactly the opposite is true as we move
from the longest day of Summer into ever shortening days and ever
increasing nights to Autumn. But, it shouldn't snow on Christmas
Day.
The Cycles of Birth, Death, Renewal and Decay. The Gods of the
Creator, the Destroyer and the Sustainer as it ebbs and flows - the
essence of Consciousness of a Unified field of which most are only
partly conscious.
As you hold on to any particular man-made time-line, so you deny
the flow and keep yourself trapped in the smaller cycle of the
individualised I.
There was once a time when people knew of these cycles within
cycles - and each passing of the season and breath was the cause
for a celebration - an honouring of the Flow of Life itself - of
which each was a part.
Human-kind has distanced itself from Life. In many cultures, these
celebrations have been bastardised - their origins buried under the
need to conform to the individualised tribe. Man's sphere of
self-referencing has become smaller and smaller as attachments
became translated into the need for ownership.
The nuclear family has become the focus and the bigger Mother of
the Church has distanced the human mother from the cycles of Mother
Earth with the promise of a Saviour as the panacea for all of the
dis-ease it has knowingly created in its need for power.
In doing so, the whole balance of the planet has been upset because
the Southern Hemisphere has been forced to follow the traditions of
the Northern Hemisphere. Peoples who migrated from one culture to
another have been coerced through the fear of ostracism into
following a cycle which bears little resemblance to inherent
resonance of their physical bodies to the land beneath their feet.
Children - the product of many intermingled and interbred races and
creeds - the offspring of the rape of religious conflict - are
coerced into supplication to the will of their biological mother's
loss of her own truth. They, in their innocence, see through the
facade and are saddened - a grief which becomes buried deeper and
deeper into the realms of their unconscious through the passing
seasons of their growing process.
The Great New God of Commercialism is now called on as Mother's
Salvation to bribe the children further from their essence - so
even the origins of the Church tradition become buried further into
the unconscious.This process creates an even deeper dichotomy
between those who have and those who have not .. and the well of
debt becomes a progressively deeper emotional quagmire.
The cycles of influence far greater than the limited human
perspective of a Spiritual or "God" Being will eventually move
people through the cycles ..
It is your choice whether to allow the flow of Life to move within
and through you -
or to be dragged kicking and screaming because you cannot let go of
your limited self sense dependency on some past corruption of a
brief instant in time.
Will you allow the children to remember and flow with the bigger
picture - or will you endeavour to trap them into the depths of an
ever decreasing spiral of your own self-limiting beliefs.
What we call Christmas is the corruption of just one celebration in
the flow of just one season of just one cycle of which life on this
earth follows and the life of this earth obeys ..
as children,
underneath the glitz, the glamour, the baubles,
the fancy lights and the empty promises ..
we knew this .. we saw the lies ..
and in the name of religious conformity
many were denied the wholeness of our being--
