Chapter 1; love is life

Did you ever wonder how this happens, how the dust of the earth becomes you? The difference between the living you and the dust as its part of the earth is immense, and yet you came from dust, you will return to dust, and the food that nourishes you also comes from dust, and mostly grows in dust. Where does life come from? At what point does dust take on life? What makes the difference?

I call my highest self my divine soul, and soul for short; my soul is the being of love who looks after my path through life, who is my guide to help me to find the best way so that I will do what I am here to do. My soul gives me visions and deep experiences, and has shown me how love works within our universe, how the universe itself was born within love, dreamed in the heart of God.

I see these visions and know in my heart that love is that which holds us in life, love provides the energy for life, love is this power. We don’t have a word for this power of love, but we feel it, we know it. Love is more than a state of being, it is also a tangible force of which we are aware, yet in our minds we have no explanation for it.

Everything and everyone that is loved glows with life; if you want your loved ones to shine, then love them and help them to know that they are loved, and they will glow with love. The aura of one who knows they are loved is like a beacon, shining for the world, saying "look at me, I am loved" and that is so wonderful, so beautiful, we treasure this. This human beacon is shining love, and we feel it, we like it, we love it! We are nourished by it too, we feel better by just being there with someone who is radiating love.

Why do we feel better? The reason is simple, we live by receiving love into our heart, and the more love we receive the better we feel, so anyone who shines a great light of love into our life is giving us nectar for our heart. Without love we fade and wither, without love there is no life; love is life.

Chapter 3; how love holds all life, and why

My soul says that we are in the process of becoming love, we are actually living this process. God who is Love has created this new universe, our universe, so that at its maturing into fulfilment it will flower as love too, so becoming another part of God. It was love that created us in the first place, God who is Love dreamed us and made us live. Love is life, without love we cease to be, and the dream made us alive in this new dimension, the physical world, densest and slowest of the rhythms, and to keep us in life we must be held in love, so Love created a presence here to hold a space in which life can exist.

This space is made by the presence of God who is Love, present for us as the wave of love flowing along the soul’s path from the beginning to the end, an eternity for life, a moment for God. This wave that holds you and protects you is love itself, the presence of "God who is Love" holding you in life.

God dreamed a flow of life that would evolve into consciousness, and life has done so in our world, and what is happening now is that life is moving onward into an awareness of the greater reality of love, and from awareness of love it is but a small step to become love. Our conscious awareness is bringing us to the knowing of love, and once love is known then we are seeing with a new light; simply to know that love is the way, the only way, is enlightenment. As enlightened beings we can participate in the process, by consciously inviting in love, welcoming love, opening to the presence of love.

Then we evolve further and become love, this is the next step beyond enlightenment, becoming love, being love, enlovement as my soul calls it, there is no higher state for physical beings. My soul says that we will then evolve into beings of love with less presence in the physical dimensions, less attachment to things. One day life will leave the world behind and come into a higher dimension of love closer to God, like a butterfly emerging from its former earthbound life into the freedom of the air, and it flies.

All this is showing us why love holds all life. So that we too can share in our evolution it helps to also know how love holds us, because once you have felt how you are held in life you can awaken this latent power around you. Once you have awakened to it you can bring it into renewed life even as it patiently holds you in love awaiting your recognition. This hidden power is available to all beings; it has been with us since the beginning, since the time of separation at the birth of the universe, when the young spirits of all the soul’s threads were released.

I want to share this vision that my soul gave to me of how God who is Love holds us in life. Living with this vision enables us to awaken a power of love for all people, and open a new era of love. God who is Love holds each living being in a gentle vortex of love, love slowly turning, turning both ways, and flowing through itself. The flow makes a form like a chalice, an open cup; each one of us is held in a chalice of love, and washed in the flows of divine love going around us and through us. My soul says that this is the presence of the feminine aspect of God and I call her the mother of creation, and find in her all that is nurturing and loving.

When my soul first brought me into awareness of the closeness of Love’s presence, I was told to be in prayer or meditation, in my own place of peace, and once here to invite this feminine divine presence to come into each cell of my being. Very soon I felt a tingling rising through my body, as if Love was touching every cell as she came, like a soft breath of wind gently caressing every particle of my being.

I breathed in this love again, and again felt the touch of it through my whole being, and then I breathed the love into my heart and on out into the aura of my being, surrounding me in love. Now it was that I felt and saw the vortex appearing, it was as if my eyes were opened and I saw it for the first time, and I knew then that it had always been there. I saw the chalice of love holding me, and felt the flows of love surrounding and filling my being. I said "yes!" to this vision, acknowledging its presence, holding and sustaining me. This is how God who is Love is holding each of us in life.

Chapter 5; the separation from God who is Love

When we were first dreamed in the heart of God who is Love we were one being within the dreamer, one within Love. The separation from Love was not so much a fall, as a means to guide us to find for ourselves the fullness of divine love. As there is a feminine reflection in God, so too there is a masculine; he also comes to us as a gentle vortex of love, a mirror of the feminine, and whereas she comes up from below, he comes down from above. The process of separation from our one-ness with God who is Love involved only a small alteration to the presence of the masculine essence of God; he simply withdrew a little way above us to await our invitation to return

The separation became twofold, what happened outside us also happened inside us, and as we experienced separation from the unity of God who is Love so too there was a separation within our own being. The purpose of this separation is for us to discover love for ourselves, and then ultimately to use that knowledge so that we too become love.

My soul gave me a vision in which I saw the vortex above, the top half of the star of love, the masculine manifestation of God for us, he withdrew whilst we were yet whole, still complete in the one-ness of God. The withdrawal of the divine harmony around and within us caused our own masculine and feminine elements to draw apart, like the two oils separating. Before then they were one in a place of perfect harmony, now they are two drawn apart by this change of circumstance; it is as if gravity now attracts one more than the other, and they became separate.

Others have said that in the beginning we were divided into two separate beings, and that somewhere there is another who makes us whole, our sacred partner, the one with whom we make a divine one-ness again. I do not see this, it is not a part of my soul’s vision for me, rather I am shown that we remain one being but divided within, in separation within from our other part and only because of this are we unable to be our full self.

This is wonderfully reassuring, to know that the unique one with whom we become whole is there within us, to know that we have the completeness waiting within us, we have but to seek and find it in order to come into the fullness of perfect harmony. Those who we meet in life who feel to us like soul mates do so because they fulfil many of the aspects of the other part within us, they feel so good because they are like our other part and they bring us close to feeling our wholeness. They are important guides for us to show us what is there within us already, they are mirrors to show us who we already are.

So it was that at the moment when we were ready to leave the heart of God on our journey into time, a part of God withdrew a little from holding us in the divine union in order to give us the space to learn to be who we are, to feel our identity, our separate being-ness, and living within that to explore this amazing evolving universe. This very separation from the fullness of God released the hold on the one-ness within us and the two elements of masculine and feminine came apart into their own uniqueness, and our inner being became two.

You too have a journey within you to find your wholeness, and the outer experiences with other people will help to show you who you are, to show you to yourself. Ultimately it is the return of the wholeness of God which allows you to become complete, it is the balanced presence of both the masculine and feminine essences of God who is Love which recreates the circumstances of your own creation, your wholeness at the time of your one-ness in God.

In meditation it is always good to start in the heart, going into your place of love, and this is the only place for prayer, prayer is only prayer if it comes from love. Ask to feel the presence of God who is Love who made your wholeness, and then invite into your heart all those who love you and feel how each and all of them show you the wholeness of who you are.

We are in search of the dream that we remember somewhere deep in our being, the dream of living as love again, the dream of again becoming as one with God who is Love.

*********

Try this meditation in your heart, feel again the beauty of love, be there in the presence of God who is Love, and feel the purpose of this creation, don’t think about it, just feel it. Invite this presence of God who is Love into each cell of your being, feel it within you, breathe it into your heart, and on into the aura around you, and become aware of God who is Love holding you in her chalice of love, holding you in life; just be in that awareness

You are carried through time in a wave of love, this is what makes time, this is the flow of our evolution, the movement of the wave is time itself. Within this wave of love there is a place of divine peace, where nothing moves, this is the moment of now, the moment in which you live.

In your next moment of prayerful quietness or meditation, feel love shining into your heart, breathe it in, feel your heart open like a flower to receive it, accept this gift of love, and breathe love into every corner of your being, and just bathe yourself in this beauty, and be grateful.

How does the dust of the earth become the living being that you are?
