Bear in the 'Hood, just off the back deck
You have to accept the same fundamental characteristics of the Universe as yours. Gregge Tiffen (Open Secrets: Creative Power Released – July, 2011)
This morning finds me feeling deeply into a sense of being a part of this vast, infinite Universe. The words ‘You are the Universe. The Universe is you.’ are in my head and felt in my heart, despite living a world that seems hell-bent on denying my true nature. Sometimes that world leaves me spinning as I try to make sense of it and its small, controlling, finite ways.
But then Bear, a teacher who brings forth the unconscious, visits. Not in a dream, but in the flesh (or the fur) outside, just beyond the deck. The world doesn't make sense in mystical terms. It can't. It won't.
Bear helps me remember the vastness that extends infinitely, of free will regardless of circumstance, and of the qualities of this amazing Universe that we are. To define infinity is to make it finite. I am infinite. So are you.
Unlike our world which labels things ‘good’ or ‘bad’ as part of its effort to separate and control, the Universe simply IS. I am. So are you.
The Universe doesn’t compare. It doesn’t worry over whether what it does or experiences today is more/less, better/worse that yesterday, last year, or eons ago. It doesn’t compare you to me or a pine to an oak. It simply flows as ever present energy. I am that energetic flow. So are you.
The Universe IS qualities that are present as potential in each and every one of us: abundance, beauty, harmony, joy, peace, power, love, light (intelligence), and life.
I am abundance. So are you.
I am beauty. So are you.
I am harmony. So are you.
I am joy. So are you.
I am peace. So are you.
I am power. So are you.
I am love. So are you.
I am intelligence. So are you.
I am life. So are you.
Imagine a world where we have learned to step beyond our potential and more fully into who we truly are. Imagine your world when you dare to journey on that path. From a speck of awareness that You are the Universe and the Universe is You, what’s possible? What step will I take today to live more fully into that potential?
