A very big aloha.
My name is Reverend Cindy Palos and I wanted to talk about the cosmos,
Our ability to connect with the light that's there,
That is the eternal light,
And also being able to take that energy of that light and the love that is the force of creation and putting it to work in our life.
And I was thinking about this and pondering that and it came up to me about the responsibility.
And I love words and the first time I really looked and thought about the word responsibility.
If you take it apart,
It's our response ability,
Our ability to respond to what we get,
Our ability to really be blessed and then take that and put it in a way that we can use it and respond to it in all aspects of our life.
This goes very deep and the thing is originally when I started meditating,
I was just so blissed out with it.
I found that I was getting addicted to the bliss and the light and I was escaping,
Trying to escape a lot that was going on that had been very painful in my life.
Then I started realizing,
No,
It's a matter of taking what you get and putting it to work in your life.
And as I started to do that,
I found that it was never ending,
That as you go within and you follow that inner path and you follow that direction that you get from inside from your soul,
That you get more and more and more,
But you have to be able to use and use it in your life and to share it in your life to make it worthwhile.
Because it's not a matter of escaping life and there's a lot of things in life that are hard,
But it's a matter of taking all those things and making it available to use to further your ability to be living a good life,
To share that energy,
To use that energy in your life.
And as you do this,
It continues to grow.
It's absolutely amazing how this process works.
This response you get from when you go inside and when you're really open and not blocked,
But really open to what is there inside you,
You will be guided to so many amazing things within you.
And it's also very interesting that everyone's journey is unique.
Now,
There's commonality and universality,
That's the right word,
But there is a universal sense that we all go through certain processes,
But each individual in their personality will have things in their life that they have to work out depending on what occurred in their life,
Right?
Depending on what has to be understood,
What has to be forgiven,
What has to be absorbed,
What has to be transformed from what you learned,
You know,
To a higher reality.
It's a beautiful giving and taking,
Then taking and giving.
And it's a circle,
It's a wheel,
It's a spiral actually that goes up and up and up and up.
And it's infinite in its ability to do this.
So I just wanted to let you ponder that.
And I'm going to share a piece that I did.
I did this a while back,
This piece.
And I did the writing of the words and I wanted to share it with you here now.
And I thank you so deeply for taking the time to listen and to go within and to ponder what's there inside of you.
You are one with the universe and the stars.
Your body can feel God's love in your heart.
For all the elements are aligned in truth with the earth,
Water,
Air,
And the sky,
All united there in you.
Life is your vehicle while here on earth,
While spirit holds a chalice with all of its holy energy and rebirth.
Receive the blessings of spirit while on this land and hold your soul's chalice up to the light.
Hold it up to God and receive the blessings of the great I am.
And let that chalice pour its light upon you with the blessings of love's healing power that can restore you to remember who you really are and renew you.
Let go of all the past restrictions and pain.
Let go of the ego and its limited domain.
But the soul is open to the light of pure love while the ego would hold you back and control.
You can embody the truth of your soul and the truth is alive in who you really are and knows how you can fulfill your life's purpose and goals.
You can find union with God while in this body you have and that soul's chalice is yours to pour forth the love force to give to all of mankind.
Let the universe speak to your heart.
You can speak of this magic of which we're all a part but we can hear the music of God's love within and we are one with the universe and it is there with us until the end.
You are one with the universe and the stars.
For we can hear the music of God's love within and listen to the sound of heaven and earth below.
For it is all one cosmic energy that we can join in the one great dream from the creator within.
You are one with the universe and the stars.
