| ------------------------ Nature is still here. Even after us having abandoned Nature. Even after us having turned our backs on Her. Even though we as humans have very little conscious communication with Nature anymore. Even though we bomb her, cut her, use her, take her for granted, mine her treasures, stick nuclear weapons deep inside her and set them off, use microwaves to irradiate her skin the atmosphere, use sonar waves to disturb her underwater and burst the whales eardrums, indiscriminately subdue, corral, slaughter some of her animals, take her fruits from her trees without gratitude, pour chemicals on her soft earth, force from her her gifts and continually stress her for more... She is still there, Waiting for us, To come back, to our Senses, and see her, smell her, imbibe her, feel her. Become her Lover, Partner again. ------------------------- Your Dance Partner is Waiting She won't be able to wait forever. She will lose her strength. Her life force will be drained at some point. She will die if we do not come back to her. And then we will also die. How can we come back to communion with Love, with God, with Mother Nature? How can we again create a 'horn of plenty' of Nature's cornucopia? How can we have overflowing abundance of all of Love's bounty? How can we have a fun creation, plenty for everyone, no crime, no wars, no disease, no broken hearts, romance for everyone etc? The Collective Reality Soup One by one, you inside yourself, all of us one by one we reconnect directly to the Love, the respectful, honoring, playful, fun, wild, raucous, loving, wise spirit of God inside us. It is the only way. The collective 'reality' 'out there' that we see is a direct reflection of the collective level of consciousness. Each human being is a piece of God-Consciousness-Love. And each piece, each human is a transmitter and receiver of consciousness-energy. We are all creating the 'collective soup' that we find ourselves in. The God energy, Love, Awareness, is much much stronger than the fallen, fearful, selfish, controlling, dominating death wish energy so it doesn't take very many of us to wake up and beam-flower-transmit-effulge-pour forth the love of God for the whole planet to change. A 1000 awake-aware-connected with God humans would catalyze a Love explosion on the planet. The collective would forever change. 1000 fully awake Buddha's, Jesus's would change the world forever. This awakening of individual pieces of God is the only way for Heaven to return to Earth, for the Garden of Eden to come back. Knowing and understanding won't do it, the actual energy change of the heart-mind of each of us is what will bring the change. You can do your part. No one and nothing can stop you from waking up, from re-contacting God. And you re-contacting your Self, God and merging back with God will do more for the planet, for the collective consciousness than any books, TV shows, foundations, laws, could ever do. Not that those things aren't important, but the inner change inside our hearts, our minds, our bodies, our soul, our energies is what needs to come first. 'Seek ye therefore first the Kingdom of Heaven and then all these things shall be added unto thee'. Nature will wait on us to come back to our real Selves, to remember who we really are, to 'come back to our senses'. Our senses will lead us accurately home, because our Senses are God created. What feels good, smells good, emotionally feels good, feels right in our hearts, will lead us Home-back to God. Fighting our selves, our senses, our spirits, our hearts, our intuitions, our souls...will eventually destroy us. It's what many of us are doing now and we are eating ourselves, draining our life energy. Nature is not 'fallen' by her conscious choice. She didn't have a choice to walk away from God, from Love, from the Original Plan. So when Nature is left alone she does fine. She re-cycles everything perfectly, the animals and plants take care of themselves fine. Nature Follows our Lead Nature is 'fallen' where we have affected her. The animals are distrustful of us, are afraid, will shy away from us. In the original plan for earth there was no need for beings to get energy by stealing it from each other, animals did not kill and eat each other. Therefore Jesus's saying 'The Lion shall lay down with the lamb'. This is a literal truth. There was plenty of energy available through fruits, vegetables, seeds for all beings. And many beings didn't need to eat at all but lived directly by 'the Word of God', the vibration of 'The sound of many waters'. As we move back towards our true Selves, as 'sons and daughters of God' we find that we need less food, we start living more directly off the 'manna' of God. This 'manna' is a literal life force energy that enters the human body in the stem of the brain, the medulla oblongata. We have affected the animals by our 'fallen', fearful, disconnected from God current human level of consciousness. Because we send out all our thoughts with the speed of light, we are all instant broadcasting machines with every thought we have. So since many of the thoughts being sent out into the atmosphere by humans today are thoughts like, 'dog eat dog', 'survival of the fittest', 'get them first', 'gotta look out for #1', fear, protection, war...then that's what we get and that 'soup' of fearful angry thoughts also affect the animals and plants. There have been many experiments where plants are hooked up to galvanic skin response machines and when people have thoughts of 'killing' the plants, uprooting them etc. that the plants respond. The electrical response of the plants get agitated, 'fearful' when they feel these thoughts in humans. So of course our thoughts affect the whole eco-system around us. Thought are electromagnetic energy and are part of the light spectrum and therefore travel with the speed of light. This is why every teacher encourages us to feel and send love out, they tell us to 'love thy neighbor'. This love can and does more to heal the planet than any resolutions the United Nations could ever pass. And if you do this the side effects are great! You will feel better, have healthier skin, hair, a better sex life, won't get sick, have more friends, more romantic partners etc. ---------------------------------- There's nothing left to do... From one level of viewing there is nothing left to do. There is nothing you can do about your awakening, your realization, your en-lighten-ing, your becoming filled with Love, with God. Except surrender to Love, to Your Self, to God, to Awareness, to Divine Intelligence. Merge more, allow the energy of Existence in to you. And at first it can feel like it has its own Will, it can feel like you are 'waiting on God' to act, move, initiate any action that will happen through you. Then allow it to operate, ex-press, move through you. All other 'doing' becomes a block, a hindrance, an interference at a certain point. It is like all your old patterns, and doingness starts to wind down. Eventually all your old spinning-talking-thinking in your mind will come to a 'Stand Still' and then the awakening can occur. You may feel that you have no more energy at times. It is God-Your Self-Existence asserting itself gently through you. The time has come to stop the old ways. You will feel 'finished' with a lot of things. There is also a beautiful not wanting to fight-assert-argue- discuss-explain-know-understand sense of just being that will start to surface. This is usually a time of fear, trepidation, uncertainty, feeling helpless, feeling vulnerable when viewed from inside the old system of pushing-fighting-creating-doing-asserting in order to survive. The Awakening, the final step, back into Oneness is the big one. There are levels of this 'surrender' before the final merging back w/ oneness. Each of these preliminary surrenders give you a taste, train you, prepare you, inoculate you, so that when the door opens for becoming one again with God, you'll take it, you'll step through the door. God does not waste his time, does not give openings unless Its fairly assured you will take it. Your mind will throw up all the objections it can to get you not to merge, to melt back into God. The mind-ego feels that it will be destroyed if you merge back with God. Which is partially true, the ego will survive but in its intended place, not as the ruler of the soul, not as the false King-Tyrant ruler by fear that it has been. So the mind-ego is fighting for its survival as it becomes imminent-apparent that you are going back Home to Source. Survival fears are the most effective fears-objections used by the ego - mind to try to get you off track. The false ego also likes to try to scare you with the thoughts of 'losing your mind', going crazy, ending up a social outcast, homeless, pain etc. The place of 'nothing left to do' happens naturally. This comes after much intention, much practice, much 'work' in a sense. But in another sense it was inevitable that you would do the spiritual practice, the 'work', the tapas, the sadhana, the prayer, the cleaning of your mental and physical temple. Once the cleaning-yoga-work is done then there is nothing left to do except to 'wait on God', wait for Love to come and fill you, overtake you, assume you, resume you, consume you. 'Not my will, but Thy Will' Jesus says as he's merging back into 'The Father and I are One'. This is the final merging. Yes, awakening is exacting. How could it not be? 'Everything must go!', it's a final clearance sale. All the past mind programs, karmas, seeds, ideas, past incarnations have to be cleared. The 'reset button' is going to be pushed. You will end up 'a brand new creature in Christ', a new born baby wise eternal timeless soul functioning 'in this world but not of it'. As this is happening to me, I go back and forth between being filled with God Love and overflowing gratitude, to terror-fear of survival and going 'crazy' in the world's eyes. And then God will talk to me, or show me others having gone through the process as examples that what is happening is natural. After I wrote the lines just above, I came across the following letter of advice to a student from a master: Beloved Bhakti, Love. When I say mutation--I do not mean simply change. Change is from the known to the known. A sinner becomes a saint--then it is a change and not mutation. You can practice change -- but you cannot practice mutation. Because only the known can be practiced. And then any change is going to be only a modified past, because the past will be continuous in it. And the past also will be the master of it, because it is cultivated by the past. In other words, change is from This to That. It is a movement in the known. But mutation is explosion. From this to nothingness. From here to nowhere. You cannot practice it. On the contrary, you are the only hindrance. So what is to be done? Really nothing can be done. Be aware of this helplessness. And, remain in this helplessness. Do not do anything. Because any doing will be escaping from this fact of helplessness. Do not move at all. And, then, there is explosion. And, then, there is mutation. OSHO |
