I am blessing you, and you are blessing me. It is the season of rebirth and renewal, a time when Jesus is remembered for expressing our capacity for love and forgiveness while in body and form. Jesus was sent to shine a light in a period of great darkness. And that light did shine so magnificently in fact that it still shines to this day. The Divine light through him became a model of how to know love moving through us, and a beacon for so many who were struggling for direction through a very dense and unconscious age. In this season, we now face the potential of a new age. And this very light, the light of the Christ consciousness, can vanish the darkness of past ages. For this to happen, each of us must find this light within us. For it is our combined light that will bring about a new age upon the Earth. To do this, a great deal of healing must take place. And to heal we must forgive. So let us also remember that the love of Christ expresses also as forgiveness. As the body he'd been given by the Mother and the Father of the Universe was being torn and broken around him, Jesus even forgave his murders and asked for their karma to be lifted. Even in that moment he saw their light, though it was hidden even from themselves... "Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do," was his prayer on behalf of every soul at that moment. It is time for this Christ-like forgiveness to rise within us. Forgiveness to those who have lost an understanding of their light and are acting from fear and confusion. Forgiveness for the hatred that is present in the world. Forgiveness for ourselves, as we can be so hard on our selves, even though something as small as a smile on our face does so much for those around us. When we find forgiveness, we are the ones who are freed. When we find forgiveness, the healing occurs. And as the healing occurs, we give peace a place to grow... within us. We must find this capacity and compassion so that peace and truth can have some home here. If we cannot make a home for peace in our hearts, then where on this challenging planet can it reside? It is beyond our capacity in some ways, yes. But when we stretch toward the consciousness of Christ, it is our reaching that allows the growth. It cannot just happen in one soul. In each of us this impossible growth must happen, for this is Ekatvam. How does the impossible come to pass? It happens through Grace. Remember always to pray for Grace. The grace of the Mother waits for you... hoping you will dispense her. It is also in our challenges that we come to know the thing which we are seeking. It is through surrender and our call for Grace that we receive the Divine. Connect... ask... and receive deeply. Ask the Mother to bless our challenges, so that peace may find a home in our self. This is how peace grows... so that we ALL may know peace. And as we remember the rebirth and renewal given to all of us with this season, remember too that they are also the gift of every moment. Every moment is ripe with the potential to realize our everlasting selves. The opportunity is sitting beside us always. Take a moment, and with a deep breath, take in some springtime... and the renewal and rebirth that is waiting for you. Yes, take as much as you'd like. Breathe in grace. Breathe in forgiveness. And breathe out your blessing on the world. With great love for you all, Amma and Swamiji |
