Star Light, Star Bright

Of light years away, billions of years right here before my very eyes....A Light before this light of the world ever was.

Light is Love that never dies....the Light of the world is the Light you are.

Yes, it seems that life leads us to discover 'what is' by way of 'what is not'.

Maybe some find the Light of Truth via 'good times'....but some of us are asked to take the more difficult path, a hard journey….and we go, mostly because we have no choice…. we go... knowing deep in our hearts that everything is really alright. Knowing deep inside we are being led to wonderful things.

We become like the mythical warrior, the brave knight riding our gallant steed through the unknown forestlands….We ride into those woods, our hearts filled with faith….vulnerable, open fully, being completely honest

God loves us, especially the brave and honorable warriors.... this I know for certain.

Life dismantles us momentarily.....As cruel as it seems, it is doing us a favor as we are stripped of our armor; all those things we held on to as dearly loved, our security in this world. Complete surrender is demanded of us…. we have no choice.

But deep in the heart we know this is Love....Love blessing us the Light of Truth.

With that surrendering beauty we are asked to be, comes this Marvelous Light and It reveals Itself to us and shows us the Real and Eternal Love, Real and Unending Life….Now it is Grace that holds us and Light that lights the way here on earth among the earthly things.

Love knows when we are ready to see and at that moment it rips the rug out from under us and sends us hurtling into emptiness…. pure emptiness, nothing to hold on to, nothing left….. A blessing so that we might discover and know first hand what is real and what is not….

We are demolished so that we become humble enough to let Grace lead…..and so we do, and so It does.

This world of time-space-experience that we are born into is, despite all the pain and agony of it, is truly a marvel and a wonder to be embraced, loved and cherished as the Real Teacher...

The only Genuine Divine Guru is Life itself.

This world of images, this that we call illusion is our direct line to The Living One, and it is through this 'life and death time and tangible world' that we come to know Life without end, Life without sorrow, Life without loss.

It is only through this imperfect self we come to know the immutable and eternal self we always were and always will be.

Know it or not we are face to face with God all the while, all this time.…..how very beautiful this is, it is right here showing us the way even through all our denying such.

It matters not what words we use nor what we know or don't know....It matters not religion or philosopy, or words we use....God knows our hearts and that is where the Child of Light of born to us.

Love to you, as always, Sandy
