You know,
This is a profoundly conscious universe within which this is just a display,
And it's working at so many deep levels,
But to get to that place where we see that the suffering of others is our suffering,
And that we are all profoundly connected to each other,
That's the point at which we really take responsibility for ourselves,
And feel a sense of responsibility to others,
Not to sort of take away their suffering,
But to make sure we're not a part of it.
We've almost made a very strong determination to prove that there isn't something more to life than meets the eye.
Now,
I think that's a great loss.
You can't explain things by cutting it apart,
Breaking it down,
And looking at what it appears to be made of,
You can't.
The creative process behind your lives is not apparent,
And whether you can see it or not,
You know,
A little part of our heart dries out when we get told that this life is just a mechanical process within which consciousness arises as a by-product.
When you lose that sense of connection to life as something sacred,
It's very easy to fall into that way of being where,
What's life about but the pursuit of my desire?
Arising within us is a deep sense of,
We need to show more guardianship to this planet,
That we are by far the most dominant species upon.
That is a very important development in our awareness and consciousness.
So you've got to be brave and you've got to be courageous,
You've got to be willing to change.
It takes extraordinary tenacity and conviction to honor the direction in which your heart is pointing.
Because somewhere in your heart you know where you want to go.
When you touch that stillness,
And when that capacity to be touched by that stillness is intact,
We start to develop a relationship with what lies in that stillness.
What we feel within us when we start to connect more deeply is much more profound than anything we're capable of understanding in our minds.
At that moment you might start to recognize,
To feel,
Be touched by this profound love that sits behind our lives.
Now it might be a while before you understand what that is,
Where's that coming from?
But being touched by it and the longing to not lose that connection to it is probably the strongest galvanizing influence you will feel to move in the right direction.
It's like calling you home when you've been wandering astray.
That love that you feel inside you when you touch that stillness is the very same love that is everywhere.
And when you feel it,
You know you're at one with it.
And your sense of isolation and separation is over.
And you've completed your journey home.
