The Challenge and the Response; or, Caught in the Trap of Awareness

Trumpets please!

Several voices arise in response to the challenge that the Compelling Thought (“Make every moment sacred”) brings. (1)

The first voice to rise is lethargic, what Hindus call thamasic. I can’t be bothered. Ahhhh, go away. Honey, what’s on the other channels?

The second voice is curious.

Hmmmm…. One agrees or declines. No fault, no blame. Just not our stop (yet) on the overall adventure. But i n t e r e s t i n n n n g g g g g….

The third voice is inquisitive. We  begin to enquire….

So, OK, let’s see. Make every moment sacred.  What is “sacred”? Never mind looking it up. What is “sacred” to you?

I can imagine the Mother walking beside me every moment and me not doing anything improper, disrespectful, unworthy, etc. That would make every moment sacred.

Well, she always walks “beside” each and every one of us anyways so it’s really a matter of having the courage to recognize it rather than wanting it or not.

To be clear, whether we recognize that the Mother walks with each and every one of us or not, she does.

But recognizing that threatens all my investments and interests that are not of a sacred nature. This is cutting right to the quick.

However, even having the thought and not letting it fly by starts the process. Insidious. It eats away at you.

Watch me now wrestle with it. Well, this moment is sacred, but not that moment. Not while you’re driving, romancing, charming the boss, etc. Around and around I go, dancing with the awareness of how I spend every moment.

I’m caught in the trap of awareness. Once we know, we cannot unknow. Awareness begins its work.

Make Every Moment Sacred

Make Every Moment Sacred

The Divine Mother incarnated as Mary the Mother of Jesus

I’ve been drawn to read the Mother’s messages through Linda lately, (1) not for any reason that I’m aware of.

No one interrupted the broadcast and said, “Now a message from the Mother.” I just felt drawn to it and everything else showed up like a distraction.

It’s slow going reading the Mother because I’m taking every second or third paragraph out and putting it in a dictionary somewhere. So I’m usually all over the place and making slow progress.

However the increase in the fertility of my thought from just reading it is noteworthy.

I’m always on the lookout for the Compelling Thought – the thought that arises, encapsulates the truth, and brings the realization that will set me free?

I don’t think the problem lies in the Mother not sending these thoughts. I think the problem lies in us … OK, OK, me … not having the courage, the interest, or the selflessness to catch them when they fly by and make them our own.

Here’s an example. I think the following thought, which arose in my mind, couldn’t have come from me (I’m not there yet): “Make every moment sacred.”

I feel certain that would do it – and I’m not there yet. Of course, what would be the point of having the thought if I was there? These thoughts usually help me decide where to go next.

Even if I may not be there yet (and I hear Sitara saying, “Don’t make that thought concrete”), I’m very much interested in putting one toe into the pond.

Make every moment sacred…. Hmmmm…. What does that look like?

Lao Tzu? Sosan? Buddha?

Jesus through John? FoL/Blossom? Arcturians/Marilyn?

It’s not a question of capability. A little child is capable.

It’s a question of willingness.

Several voices arise in response to the challlenge, but let me continue with that tomorrow.

Hmmmm…..
