Uncertainty and Beyond

These “viral” times seem to be made of Uncertainty.  But when I really think about it, it’s just that the illusion of certainty has gone away.  Certainty has never been a given – it’s just that when Life seems to flow in a predictable way, I start to count on things being a certain way.

I have seen things swept away in an instant – but not in my own life.  I’ve witnessed other folks having to deal with the devastation of tsunamis and tornadoes and hurricane and fires and earthquakes and other tragedies – that have taken away people’s lives and possessions, their homes,  and any seeming sense of security – in an instant.

And then, I start to wonder….

What is it that lasts?  What is it that is certain?  And I find that it does not lay in the historical dimension – the world of form – which is so movable and shakeable and changeable and…

Impermanent.

That which lasts is something inside of us – and inside the whole Cosmos.  It is invisible, and cannot even be seen by a microscope, unlike this tiny little germ called COVID19 which is wreaking havoc in our world.

That which lasts is the Spirit of Love.  It is Presence.  Beauty. Wisdom.  Truth.  It is Peace, Joy, True Power, Stillness, Connection.  It is Awareness of Oneness.  These are Qualities of the Divine.  They are also our Essence, for as children of the Divine, we have sparked off from the great I Am.  We have all sparked off from The Source Itself.

When I get scared – which I most definitely do – I have to come back to this over and over again.  There is so much uncertainty.  There are so many unknowns. There always have been.  And whatever we call “normal” – is not – so we should not strive to return to it.

As for me, I want to recognize the uncertainty of life on our Mother Earth – in this world of form.  I want to recognize the Truth of Impermanence.  I want to be real, and grieve what is gone and even what may be gone that I don’t even know yet.

I want to remember what my True Power is, and what it is not, for otherwise I set myself up for the deep disappointment that comes from expectations the are not based in what’s real.

And after I recognize these things, and do my best to realign with the Truth of life on earth, I want to come Home to my Self.  My Highest Self.  That in me which knows from where I came and to where I shall return. Back into the Stream of Consciousness – of God – from where we all came.  Back into the Great Ocean that no longer manifests as an individual wave, but has rejoined the sea.  I want to come home to that which never dies.  I want to come Home to my True Self, my Essence, which sprang forth from the Ultimate Dimension – the world of non-form and invisible forces such as Love, Beauty, Peace, Joy, Stillness.  Awareness of Oneness.

As I heard someone say recently – we all have an ongoing Invitation to come out of the hole and into the Whole.

I whisper to myself….”Come Home to your True Self, Darling.  To your Essence, which can never die”.  When I do this, the worries about what is and what might be – they dissipate.  My anxious body becomes calm.  My mind settles.  My breath slows.  And I can feel a Peace come over me.

I am not in charge of what Life brings.  I cannot control it – or others.  I do not need to.  For Life does it’s own thing.  What is in our power is to be Present to Life – whatever it may bring.  Be Present…. with a Softening, a Love.  Even a Joy.  All of which come from the Source, which we can all choose to let flow through us.

Be Well.  Be Safe. Be YOU!
