Nothing is hidden from you; all truth is open to you. This you know in your heart of hearts. You know deep within yourself that to live with ultimate love and compassion for self and for others is the only way to fulfill your life purpose. All else leads only to temporary gain, followed by ultimate loss; for to live any other way avoids ultimate purpose. Therefore, live honestly and in loving-kindness for yourself and for all around you. When we live in such a way we are at one with the heart of all being.
We often find no time to consider ultimate meaning at all. Some of us live our lives in a day to day rush that prevents us from feeling in touch with the heart of all being. Others among us find ourselves so overwhelmed by the pain of war, natural disaster or famine that we feel we cannot consider anything beyond immediate survival. In either case, our daily concerns seem meaningless in terms of our existence, or, rather, we pursue immediate concerns in a way in which we cannot find their connection with ultimate meaning. It isn't usually what we do, but how we do it that makes the difference.
Our frustration alone, so often shown in terms of emotional distress, combined with addictive and sociopathic behavior, clues us to something we subconsciously seek beyond our immediate focus. Our dreams might remind us of a deep and forgotten significance behind our presence here, but we are often baffled by their language.
The meaning behind our existence is no secret. It is there within us all. It is simply that we find so little time to consider what we seek above all else: love, peace and fulfillment: a sense of togetherness and ultimate oneness with all things. We desire this sense of oneness - of return to the source - above all else, but even our desiring takes us further from our goal. The act of love seems often to take us closest, but then we often emerge with feelings of heightened loneliness.
We cannot find oneness through desiring. Do not desire: Give! - Give what you desire! – Be the source of all you desire! Only then can you be fulfilled in your purpose, for that is the purpose and challenge for each of us – to represent ultimate truth in human form.
Our purpose here is to love; it is not to be loved. Therefore, do not desire to be loved! – Simply love! What you give will return to you. The universe awaits you with boundless love in response to the love you pour out to others in all you do. We need not desire love or want for anything, for we are loved and cared for no matter what hardship may surround us. The gift of universal love awaits us always and can live forever within our hearts.
Many say that our feeling of separateness is an illusion. It is not an illusion, but our consciousness of only one aspect of our being. We are after all individual, but we are also connected as we are united, both spiritually and physically, in the heart of all being. We are as connected in the heart of all being as the leaves and branches of a tree are part of one tree. The tree cannot live without its parts, and its parts cannot live separate from the whole.
In our heart of hearts we know we are connected. Our ego minds play upon our individuality because they can see nothing but our separate manifestations. Our hearts sense our connectedness and express this knowledge when we listen. The heart is our balance point; it is where intellect and emotion join as one, mingling in a dance of yin and yang.
The heart of all being seeks conscious awareness and full expression through each manifestation of being. We are one ever developing manifestation of being. There are many others, each contributing a unique awareness to the whole of consciousness. As the tree would not live if it did not branch out from its core and respond to energies around it, so the universal consciousness of all being would not develop if it did not manifest itself in all possible forms allowed by circumstance.
We are here as a species so long as we fulfill our role as experience gatherers, as leaves remain green so long as they nourish the tree. We are not more valuable than what we contribute to the whole. Therefore be generous and aware in all things. We are not more limited than we ourselves impose, for the heart of all being desires full expression. Therefore, see your life as filled with limitless possibility.
Know that whatever you dream you can manifest, for the dream is all being searching for its realization. Nothing envisioned will fail to manifest. Choose then to manifest what you feel in your heart to be good for you and for those you love. And if you love truly, those you love will include all things, as you reflect the love of all being that shines through you to all around you.
Simply love, infinitely and purely. Then abundance will flow through your life and you will become a radiant blessing to all. Then you will always be filled with inner joy and peace as you know yourself at one with all being.
Namaste!
