Overing Fear of Terrorism plus articles and information on Inspirational This
week I did a radical thing. I bought a newspaper. I bought it to read about the
events happening in London. I lived there for many years and have friends I love
there. It has a very special place in my heart. We now live in a world where
small numbers of people can cause havoc and create fear within the hearts of so
many. This is now particularly true of people living in major cities of the
world.
Individually Cool

, we might wonder what the world is ing to.
Individually, we may think that there is little or nothing we can do. There are
those in the world who will tell you that the present situation is a prelude to
Armageddon. These are those who are caught in the illusion that the only reality
is that of time and space. They will tell you that there is to be a wonderful
rapturous moment when the world will end on a day called "Judgement Day." Then
God will make it all OK by punishing the bad guys and gals. This is not going to
happen. This denies the responsibility we each have to wake up. Without aepting
individual responsibility we fail to
see Cool
Base Adam LaRoche Jersey
, as the beautiful Julian of Norwich reminds us,
"that all is well and all manner of things shall be well." This is the seeing of
the one who knows. Do not despair of terror in its many forms. It is a symptom
of our degree of separateness from the real world. The outer world is a
manifestation of how much we have lost contact with our inner world. Yet there
is much beauty in the world if we will choose to see it moment to moment. I am
not one who thinks there is little or nothing that can be done to stem the tide
of violence. I know how much any one of us can do. To think we can do nothing
means we create exactly that. Each of us can do so much to change the present
situation. Each of us has the responsibility to change the present situation. I
use the word responsibility in its real sense. This is "the ability to respond."
This ability is often frozen by fear and anxiety about the future. We are beings
of light. We are beings of knowing and beings of eternity. Our real work in this
world of time and space is to make matter conscious. It is to bring the
experience of heaven to earth now. It is to realise the experience of heaven
within. This does not mean that we all learn to be "nice" people. It does not
mean we walk around being like Miss Goody Two Shoes. It means we have the
courage to know and feel who we are in essence this very moment. When you know
and feel who you are "nice" goes out the window. You transcend ideas of duality.
You realise that you are simply graced the blessing of being love in action. You
bee surrendered to the will of the Beloved. You bee totally responsible and able
to respond to the world. You do not despair although you will be pained by the
suffering that human beings visit upon themselves and each other. The real wound
that is in this world of time and space is the sense that we are separate from
love. This is not the sentimental attachment often sung in songs or written
about in romantic novels. This is the experience of love as spoken about by the
mystics of all religious traditions and none. To glimpse this world of mystery
is to see through the glass brightly. As the wonderful mystic Ralph Waldo Trine
reminds me "If you would find the
highest Cool

, the fullest and the richest life that not only
this world but that any world can know, then do away with the sense of
separateness of your life from the life of God." Use whatever word for God that
you feel fortable with. I use the word "Love" or the word "Beloved." The later
reminds me that it is an instruction. I am instructed to "BE-LOVE-D." I take
this instruction sincerely. It reminds me that this is our true nature. It
reminds me that despite all appearances there is one thing that will not change.
This is the reality that Love is eternally now. What needs to change is our
individual knowing of this experience. This experience of knowing is not the
same as belief. This knowing is beyond belief because it is so radically
transformational. When you know there is no need for belief. This week remember
in your hearts all those who suffer outrage at the hands of others in whatever
form. Remember that those who perpetrate these outrages are lost in the mist of
separateness from love. Love has its own laws. These do not operate solely in
the sphere of time and space. The law of love operates in the realm of the
timeless. Anyone who transgresses this law must pay the price. This is not
because they are judged "good" or "bad" but because this is the law. This is the
real law and no individual overrides it. Those who are outraged may change the
nature of the world in this realm of time and space. They
cannot Travis

, however, change that which is eternal. They
cannot change the reality that God is LOVE. They can change the form of energy
but they can never destroy it. I want to leave you with the beauty of Islam. I
lived in England during what were known as "the troubles." As someone from
Northern Ireland there were times I felt isolated and alone. This was because
following bomb outrages in English cities all Irish and Northern Irish people
were suspected terrorists This is the power of labelling. It is important at
this time that we are vigilant in how we judge others of different
nationality Todd

, religion or any other way that increases our
illusion of separateness from each other. On my altar at home I keep the poetry
of Jelaluddin Rumi (1207-1273). He is my favourite mystic. His is the true
Islam. He is the surrendered one.
