Thought to post this from a book I wrote a while ago:
Spring Week 9 Heaven and Earth Unite
22. Jesus saw some babies nursing. He said to his disciples, “These nursing babies are like those who enter God’s kingdom.” The disciples asked him, “Then shall we enter the kingdom as babies?” Jesus said to them, “When you make the two into one, and when you make the inner like the outer and the outer like the inner, and the upper like the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male will not be male nor the female be female, when you make eyes in place of an eye, a hand in place of a hand, a foot in place of a foot, an image in place of an image, then you will enter the kingdom.” -From the Gospel of Thomas
Moving under the law of grace, we begin to view the world in a different manner. Our consciousness shifts just as the earth quakes with a spectacular series of tremors. In the past we have seen this as two things, inner and outer. Now we begin to realize that they are not two, but one totally interrelated reality. In our world it has seemed as if two forces are meeting – those who wish things to remain the way they have been in the past and those who oppose this, desiring things to change; those who fear change and those who fear that change won’t occur fast enough. Within ourselves, we feel these two forces meet, the cultural ego that doesn’t wish for change and the spiritual ego that wishes for transformation and tries to take control to have what it desires. We need to look at our world and ourselves from an intention of Love. What would Love do? What does the heart say? Can we hold steady, realizing that heaven and earth must unite in consciousness? Can we let go of trying to be in control? Can we see that the masculine and feminine principles must be reunited, within each of us and in our world? Seeing that we are in the midst of a great transformation, can we be in a state of not knowing and just hold our own inner state in infinite tenderness and hold the world in this same gentle field of Love? We are needed to hold the space for this shift that is occurring on all levels. No longer is it an eye for an eye, but now there is healing, an eye to replace an eye, as said in the Gospel of Thomas, above. We have not seen our own amazing strength and courage. It is being called forth now in new and very powerful ways. A mother’s strength during the birth of her child is incredible. Know that we each carry that strength and the courage to face whatever comes. The result will be the birth of peace and joy. Let us send forth our Light and Love and hold the space for the new world to be born! Vira Mata! Courageous Earth Mother!
Contemplation: You came into this world at this amazing time in response to the cries of pain and suffering from the creatures of Earth and, indeed, cries from the very Earth herself. Your soul knew you were needed to aid in the fulfillment of this great shift in consciousness. Your great compassion would not allow you to be elsewhere. You were very brave to come here at this time and that strength and courage is available to you now. Release all fear. Bless the hearts of those who are still trapped in ignorance and fear. Trust what comes…now and now and now.
