Hurricane and Galaxy: As Above So Below
Who has seen the wind? Neither you nor I; but when the trees bow down their heads, the wind is passing by?  |
a galaxy and a hurricane
look exactly the same
:: as above so below ::
|
What is the difference between a hurricane and our galaxy? They look exactly the same. What is the difference between the symphonic winds of earth and the celestial-spheres galactic winds? Do they sound similar? What does a galaxy sound like when seismic gale force winds erupt in space? Does it sound like trees bending under a striking whirlwind? At the center of our galaxy there is a black hole. What is it like to be in the Eye of the Milky Way? Is it silent and calm like the Eye of a Hurricane? When we stand in the Eye of Life are we in a kind of vortex black hole of the Now? When the Eye of a Black Hole swallows us up, is it ferocious or is it a blissful experience of quiet Oneness? Do you understand the vastness of the cosmic dance of All That Is - and the miracle of your dancing within it? :  |

"Then the Lord answered Job out of a whirlwind, and said: Who is this that wrappeth up sentences in unskillful words? Where wast thou when I laid up the foundations of the earth? tell me if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? Shalt thou be able to join together the shining stars the Pleiades, or canst thou stop the turning about of Arcturus? Canst thou bring forth the day star in its time, and make the evening star to rise upon the children of the earth? Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that an abundance of waters may cover thee? Canst thou send lightnings, and will they go, and will they return and say to thee: Here we are?" - The Book of Job, Chapter 38, King James Bible Do you understand the brevity of this precious life and that each moment is a galactic Ocean of Love? "Even though the world goes on for eons and eons, you are here for a fraction of a fraction of a second. Most of your time is spent being dead or not yet born. But while alive, you wait in vain, wasting years, for a phone call or a letter or a look from someone or something to make it all right. And it never comes or it seems to but doesn't really. And so you spend your time in vague regret or vaguer hope for something good to come along. Something to make you feel connected, to make you feel whole, to make you feel loved." - Charlie Kaufman Are you running Against The Wind? What are you running from? What are you running toward? What are you running against? I.e. what is it that you are resisting? What you resist, persists. The Order within seeming chaos undulates outward like the arms of a galaxy, and the Divine Will of Love spins out through all of Creation, into the very cells of our being. What is the Divine Will for us? It is All Good Things: joy, peace, LOVE, truth, beauty, abundance, unity. All of these things are what God/Spirit (which lives inside of us) wants for us. The Divine provides these things for us freely and abundantly. They are available to us at any moment in time, with only one requirement: that we drop our resistance and let Divine Love - and Love of all kinds - into our lives. What are you running against? Whatever it is externally, it is actually emanating from inside of you. By letting go of resistance to the Flow of All That Is Good, it comes flooding in, on the gentle winds of change. Ways to let go of resistance: meditation, yoga, play, laughter, doing things that bring you joy, hugging, drumming, chanting, creating...and you know the rest, because you already have all of the answers within you.
Against the wind A little something against the wind I found myself seeking shelter against the wind Against the wind... And I remember what she said to me ... Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then - Bob Segar, 'Against The Wind' We can lean into the Winds of Change, instead of fighting them. This is our 5th Night dharma and we can ease into it, helping others as we go. |
