Just Part of The Crowd



Visions Beyond Our Illusions:

Lead us gently into a world beyond our illusions.  We all have illusions.  Example of Jesus walking on water, he overcame the illusion that the sea is dangerous, and demonstrated that it is a part of the ALL.  If we become one with all that is, there is no need to fear.  

“Darlin do not fear what you don’t really know.”  -BrettDennin

Spearhead does it with Joy, no fear.  Michael is someone who has crossed over and is beyond the death of our illusions and boundaries.  He carries a message of hope, truth, and joy.  He is removing the boundary between the love we feel for our one and only and the love we feel for others and the love we feel for our enemies. 

Coming down off the stage.  Showing he feels safe and certain.  Creating a happening where the audience is part of the performance.  Accepting the unpredictability and chaos of humanity and starting to let its pattern of natural beauty be seen.  Faith that the energy of all things, in the end, is love, even if it is death.  Michael at one point is telling us not to be afraid of death.  That this fear of death is preventing us from living life.

Accepting the death of a paradigm that is injurious and empty, leads us into what is next.  Jesus was offering us a chance to “let go” like Buddhists offer a chance to “let go”  (burning house) which brings new vision, acceptance, love, openness, compassion, each moment like a little death.  He went on to not be afraid of death.  On the cross and to rise again to tell others that death is nothing to be afraid of.  Darkness, night, winter, change.  It’s all the same.  It’s the promise of a new day.  And it’s beautiful!  Sara even said last night at mothers of convergence, not to be afraid of death, of change, of the stormy waters.  Jesus showed us how to escape that illusion of fear of death and to bring calm waters.  Such a metaphor for our human mind and our ability to think of our own small self as the end of life, where it is only the beginning of all living systems.  So, allowing Mexican immigrants to join our country and to ask for integration and long-range plans of openness to societal change is love, no fear of death, and everlasting life.  Jesus offers everlasting life, by being open to change, the kind of complete change that creates fear and protection.  Like opening to the idea of having a Spanish speaking Mexican female boss at work and giving him/her all faith that they can do it because we can see they have the skills and we will do good work having her as a supervisor even if a mistake is made.  Until things are straightened out.
