Full Moon

20 Virgo 40’

It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make him a woman. It is not good for humans to be alone. I will make them a world. I will be in every inch and aspect of that world, but they shall know it not. Their task is to find the unity in the diversity. Their task is to understand that they are not alone. In their seeming aloneness, they must know that I am there and rely on my timely, effective, orderly response. They must say, “I am,” knowing the Great One resides in their hearts and wears the Crown and that is the way that illumines, cleanses, and heals. They must follow the light that shines for them. They must keep heart and keep the faith.

All our living is about establishing awareness of a close personal relationship with the Universal Forces that many call God. Your life is about what you really believe in your heart of hearts when the lights are dim. With that close personal relationship, you can enter into whatever might be your lion’s den or fiery furnace at the time. When you are tested, you go within. Though the winds may howl about you, you stand safe.

If we could only know that even when we are off track, we are on target. The prodigal in us has not really left home. Even when we feel lost, the watchful Eye has us in its sight. Why do we experience otherwise? We imagine otherwise.

The inner life is the intermediary between our world and us. You can say that it is the space between things in our world, the space we might call air, or empty. Can you see this? Pause for a second and see yourself as the observer of the people, events, and conditions of your life. There is you and the person/people, event or condition. You think and feel a certain way about the event or condition, and this determines what you imagine to be going on, created in your response or reaction. What you are thinking and feeling is actually your inner space, inhabiting the air or the space between you and another, an event, or a condition.

This full moon finds many of us fearing calamity as we witness people being laid off their jobs by the thousands. Those who have a means of support are wondering if they are next, if some surprise waits in the wings that will throw them into a teeming job pool of many people fighting for a few low paying jobs. What a condition our condition is in! This seems like the worse of times with worse to come. We are staring across a seeming abyss.

Between your mind-heart and the outer world is the space filled up by your inner world. You can maximize how you create that space. Do not go gently into the dark night of terror. Don’t listen to the news. Its job is to keep you riled up so that you can hungrily sop up the slop that is being offered for the jangling of your nerves and the disturbance of your peace. You can play a tape that says, “better hold on tight with fear of slipping,” or you can play a tape that says:

I will toil not, neither will I spin. I will expect the best and act in anticipation of that which is good. It does not matter the peril of the moment, the brink of disaster. I shall keep my eye on the prize. Let me express gratitude for all I have, gratitude for the provision of all that I need, gratitude for health and strength and passion. Thank you for the answer to every question and for abundant grace.
