This, the beginning.

This is the first thing...

Jammed in knee to knee with all the other pre-primary students, I feel a soft lulling as the piano starts to play. Cross-legged in the front row of the school hall, I can see the middle-aged woman laboring at the keys from side-on. She seems very big to me from my vantage point on the floor. The piano playing is an interlude between the announcements and the awards and the year two's rendition of You are my sunshine. Outside, the dusty playground is baking in the early morning sun. Already it is too hot to play out there. Inside, the large air conditioner wheezes on. Beyond the walls of the school, a whole world that I will never know is well into its day. The call to prayer commands the people to action at first light.

But all I hear is the sound of the piano, and the soft, sweet lulling feeling intensifies. I close my eyes for a moment, and when I open them I am no longer on the floor. I can see the piano and the big lady playing it from above. I can see me with my eyes still closed, neatly lined up in a row of tiny humans. I can see everything in the hall as I float close to the ceiling. The peace inside of me is consuming. My body is completely relaxed. Whatever I am doing right now, the music is the trigger. I am anchor-less for the duration of the song. I don't go anywhere. There is nowhere to go. I am just me, floating above me in the school assembly. When the music stops I come back down.

It happens all the time.

Part 2

Reside in the place of peace.

Retreat, always, before moving outwards into the world.

At first this may take time,

but as you learn the skills of Divine Sight - Insight -

You will know instantly where you should be

in any given moment, what steps to take.

what path to follow.

Your insight is enormous,

far greater than ordinary human vision could possibly be.

Be not limited by your unwillingness to surrender the darkness

of your human sight.

Close your human eyes and the light is revealed.

You must close your eyes to the world around you

to know the truth of it.

It is all there to be seen, if you are willing to walk,

temporarily, in the darkness.

Like all new vision,

there must be a time of emptiness,

of adjustment to the new level of light -

like stepping out of the darkness into

the brightness of a new day.

Do not be afraid of this time of adjustment.

Know that it is God's work,

and your own,

for you are adjusting your eyes to your true vision.

In losing your sight

you gain your true INSIGHT.

You gain the awareness of what actually is.

You are no longer fooled or tricked by superficial sight,

and you are no longer lost in the confusion of human life,

which attempts to blind you with an overwhelming

whirl of distraction and illusion.

You will know what is real and what is a poor imitation

of God's love.

Retreat,

Go within,

Know yourself in the darkness

as the human vision is replaced with Divine Light.

Do not seek to hurry the process in fear.

All is exactly as it should be.

The Divine hand of God is waiting for you.

Peace

With peace in your heart all things are possible. You create the lessons in your life through fear and lack of peace. Imagine if all that was to stop and you could stand still and really know peace and choose the life that you live, choose the energy that you draw forth towards you. Imagine that in the very act of not moving, being still, the world around you responds to your energy. Your energy changes - the world around you changes. Do you think the energy you live in is just random, just something you happened to wander in to? Of course not. You have prepared it. You have sent it forth, you manifest it in this very moment.

Every second you are generating your reality. Indeed, can’t you see? You are fumbling through the world half blind, for in the movement and chaos of everyday life all you are generating is more of the same. Be still. Meditate. Plan your life energetically. In this we mean not to say like a take-away menu you sit down and order what you want to happen each day (although perhaps you will get there one day!). What we are suggesting, dear ones, is this. Your energy, the energetic web you spin, is what you live in, it is the energy all around you, it is the energy that other people pick up on as you enter their space, that which the trees and plants and the birds and absolutely everything you interact with ‘reads’ when you approach. Now of course, just like you, most humans bump into one another energetically without a clue of what they are doing, of what they are taking or giving. We challenge you now to wake up to yourself as an energetic being!

You spin a web, you live that web! Do you understand? You are the creator of the reality you live, and we mean this in no abstract way. Become conscious of the web you weave. Start to see it in all your interactions, practice seeing it, feeling it, even if at first you see and feel nothing. It is something you will quickly become sensitive too. Develop this sense. It is more important than any other sense you have, for the others merely report on life. This sense determines your life! Be free of not understanding why your life is the way it is.

WAKE UP! You are energy.

You impact on the world and the world impacts on you, so therefore choose the impact you want to have. What life do you want to lead? Well, create it! Be the change you want to see. Wake each morning and greet your energetic web, and cleanse it as you cleanse yourself and see what you are creating for yourself. If you don’t like it, change it, fill it up with all that you truly want. But we remind you, this cannot be done in the hustle and bustle. Make time. Just as you must make time to eat, make time to cleanse your web.

Watch the world magically transform before your eyes as you awake to the glory of your own true nature. Be the true magnificence of your being and generate the life you were meant to live!

Ham Sa - I am that I am

Everywhere at this time, although it has always been this way, there are people aching for peace. They may not recognise that this is their true heart's desire but it is the truth. Peace brings an end to longing. It brings happiness, joy, light, love into the now moment. It resides only in NOW time. So we say, look around you and be grateful in your heart for every little thing that you see, for every opportunity to learn that will cross your path this day, for every chance you are given to offer God's love to the world, to live in the light.

Reside nowhere else. Think about nothing else but, 'How can I love the world today? How can I spread light into the darkness?' Then everything else falls away. There is nothing else. The self merges with the God light. There is no separation. There is no me, me, me. There is no desire, no longing, for in this space you have absolute fulfilment. Your true heart's desire has been met with something far greater than you could ever have possibly dreamed.

You are empowered to change the world in this very second. Do not wait upon someone to give you a task worthy of God's love; you are that task in every moment! You are the beacon of light, the messenger of God, through your actions and your words and your deeds. Allow all to know their God-self through the light and love you pour forth, through true compassion which is effortless.

There is never, 'I have nothing to give'.

When you allow yourself to be infilled with God's love there is infinite love, infinte energy, you will runneth over with the light, and the more you offer to illuminate the world, the more and more and more you receive. For you are not separate. You are whole and complete in God's love. Forget the self. You are the Divine-self that you seek.


You are that ONE.
