Peace on Earth, Good Will Towards Men

The Tiny Light Emerging from A Great Darkness

Its here once again - Christmas.  Its particular vision, a spiritual metaphor emerging from its ancient solstice roots (today, as a matter of fact!) - that celebrate a tiny light emerging from a great darkness, promises peace on earth, good will towards men, with one big qualifier - humanity is asked to make that commitment - and so far - well, 'ya think its happened, even a little bit?

One must be able to respond - accept responsibility - to prioritize this 100% commitment.  I personally don't think we're at the level of consciousness to do this.  One doesn't, as the saying goes, have to be a rocket scientist to come to this conclusion, just read the headlines and listen to the news - not to mention, be honest with the thoughts that typically go through our heads and the feelings that typically go through our hearts and our guts.

Opposite Sensations from Hellfire and Damnation

When was the last time you felt, within your own inner universe, corresponding peace and good will as a radiating force everywhere your consciousness could travel?  I feel these sensations all the time, along with a whole lot of opposite ones. 

The English language carries these oppositional clues very well.  For example, spell "devil" backwards.  I challenge you to come up with a clearer, cleaner (no religious threats of hellfire and damnation allowed!) definition of that word.

A Great Light Illuminating an Erased Darkness

Peace on earth, good will towards men would, as if in the wink of an eye, revolutionize our world.  What a wonderful daydream, to contemplate this multidimensional evolution that would instantly put an end to violence and place us all on an equally caring, unconditionally loving and affirming level with each other - all/one, as it were.

The thought comes to me that the result would produce a great light fully illuminating an erased darkness.  Solstice complete, promise fulfilled, as we are finally able to respond, accordingly.

The Worthiest Commitment

What other commitment is worthy of our tender hearts, our strong souls, our creative, transcending minds?  Time heals all wounds, so the saying goes, providing we allow it to exquisitely carry us to the courageous core of admitting to ourselves and the world what we really must protect ourselves from - being lesser than. 

What does the sensation of being at peace feel like?  How does your body respond?  What do your thoughts express?  Can you catch a moment of this experience?  Can you dare to record it? 

Inner Peace as a "Full-Circle" Offering

I challenge you to dare to seek your own sensation of peace.  It  is what I call a "full-circle" offering - the most amazing present we can create, which returns us to being maximally aware of who we are and what we are - spiritual beings of multidimensional consciousness - endlessly, wholly existing in a free present.

Good Will aligns your ability to respond as it allows your real circle of power to emerge.  It, in turn, as the Book of Genesis in the Bible reminds us, fuels creation, which extends through all connections, all possibilities.  That is my offering and challenge to spiritually-centered You this Christmas on the ancient Solstice - to be responsible, in transforming yourself, to correspondingly care for the world.

Return to the Flow Through Sacrificing the Wounded, Clinging Ego

What exactly is the "price" one pays for this oppositional shift in global consciousness?  Only the sacrifice of the wounded, clinging ego, living backwards. 

Are you thinking and not quite admitting, then what's left?  Back to You, the Great Spirit, free to partner with the All That Is to return to the flow and create your great, unfolding life.      

Reading Your Writing

One of my clients recently wrote a blog entry that refers to my women's group.  You can go here to read the original post on her blog, Wonders of Writing, but with her permission I posted it here as well.   I enjoyed this post very much and I think you all would too!

Enjoy!

Reading Your Writing

Who wants to read your writing out loud to a group?

I never did. I would run the other way. But why should I be scared? It was all my words and thoughts after all. If I can write them down, I can say them out loud.

I was invited to a writing group to do just that the other day. I was new to this group and this group was new to me. One reason for my newness happened because the membership rules were relaxed of late to allow 'youngsters' in the group. I was in numbers, half the age of the other ladies.

There is something to be said for gaining age. I am so glad I am the age I am now, and hope to always feel this way about my age. It is only with age, you can have experience, reflection, and hopefully, wisdom. But at the same time, there was something about being in this group, that for me, did not make me feel young. I felt, in some ways, on par with some of the ladies there.

But how could I have anything in common with these ladies twice my age? It was all about the writing. But it was really all about what we were writing about! The theme of the day seemed to be 'how to say no' and not feel guilty. What woman, or person for that matter man or woman, doesn't struggle with that!

On Oprah the other day, her guest was Elizabeth Gilbert, the author of the New York Times best seller Eat, Pray, Love. Many women in the audience agreed that one of the lessons they learned from her book was how to say no. The book written by a 30 something- like me- had a message that spanned across ages, generations and even cultures. How do we say no and feel good about it?

I will leave that question for you to answer in contemplation. Back to the group experience. Being in the group and reading out loud was a good experience for me. I admit as I read, I was nervous, I could even feel my insides twitching. But, it was good to just let it out!

Cycle of Completion

Making Sense Out of Year's End

We are coming to the end of our annual 365-day cycle in a few short weeks amidst our great holiday flurry, meant and pushed in many culturally-driven ways to complete whatever, for us, meaningfully constitutes this year.  I saw a client around this time years ago who uncovered what I was moved to title "a terror of completion".

I don't think we do completion well in our culture.  Perhaps we associate it with death, which, we fear, might just mean total annihilation.  This core fear drives us to addictions of all kinds, as well as greed, which continues to explode in our world and, saddest of all, sanctioned violence - for "it's never enough".

The Central Challenge to the Terrible Well of Societal Paranoia

Completion centrally challenges that terrible well of paranoia that continues to poison our society, for the truth of the matter is, completion is enough, end, finish . . . the period at the end of the sentence - the book that closes.  I see this as a central challenge to accept, which happens to be the end stage of grief.

Acceptance can only occur from a center of trust.  When we are wounded, trust blows apart, and we are driven spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically to become Humpty Dumpty, forced to endure, in all corresponding pain, the useless phases of the tale:

We Become Humpty Dumpty

"Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall" - the "wall"  can represent our karma, our woundedness from childhood, our ego . . .

"Humpty Dumpty had a great fall" - the "fall" in spiritual terms at its greatest level represents the Fall from Grace and all that it implies and produces, like the story of the Garden of Eden in the Bible . . .

"All the king's horses and all the king's men/Couldn't put Humpty together again" - we strive mightily to "put ourselves back together" the way we were and presented ourselves before our Fall, but it is not possible.  What is possible is to "rise to the occasion" presented by this crisis, however it translates in your life, to face the challenge to accept what has happened, and let the completion of the cycle of grief bring its own healing and resolution.

Transcendence through the Soul's Challenge for Healing and Development

It's interesting to note that we are so conditioned to make New Year's resolutions.  Can you consider wrapping up your year as if you were Humpty Dumpty, who embraces the "P.S." after the end of the nursery rhyme as a soul challenge to accept, in order to experience core healing and development?

What would your review of this year look like in those terms?  This kind of review becomes a most courageous journey which does not lead us to a dead end - quite the opposite.  We can never predict what our "re-solution" will be, which forces us to integratively trust.

As trust returns, so can we recover our freedom to be fully present to begin a new cycle from a place of wholeness, clarity and spiritual power, seeing all others in the same light, with the same potential - and yet, expecting nothing.  I offer a poem I wrote many years ago to speed you on this journey, with my heartfelt wish for you to receive a full, amazing, miraculous journey of completion through this holiday season.

(Note:  This poem is part of a unique collection of poems titled Willing To Be Led Toward Your Heart, just published and available for purchase in hard copy and as an ebook in the Products section of my web site under the following link: http://www.centeringtools.com/tempcdsales.html)

Transformer

Singer of story songs

You can rest at long last

Giving thanks

As I do to You

For all the light You’ve given me

Godspeed in these holy-daze
