Falling into the World

The Shape of Compassion

Aug 29, 2016


LOTUS OF THE HEART

All is Welcome Here

Living in Love beyond Beliefs

We Share One Life, We Are One Life

Compassion

* * *

To me
there is nothing more sacred than love and laughter,
and there is nothing more prayerful than playfulness.

*Osho

You are invited to relax and let the following sentences be preparation for relaxing into the Sanctuary of our one Heart...

Divine Love, you are here with me
You are coming from outside me
You are arising from within me
Your Spirit and my spirit are one

You are meeting me
in many ways
in many places
through many persons

You are
changing me, more and more,
into the Likeness of YourSelf

I am here
I am receptive

I invite you
Immerse me in Your Grace fully
body
mind
soul
spirit with Spirit
spirit in Spirit

Thank You

35 Jesus traveled through all the towns and villages of that area, teaching in the synagogues and announcing the Good News about the Kingdom. And he healed every kind of disease and illness. 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 He said to his disciples, “The harvest is great, but the workers are few."

*Matthew 9.35-37 (NLT)

22 Immediately after this, Jesus insisted that his disciples get back into the boat and cross to the other side of the lake, while he sent the people home. 23 After sending them home, he went up into the hills by himself to pray. Night fell while he was there alone.

*Matthew 14.22-23 (NLT)

Falling into the World, in Love again

Open yourself toward the Light
Breathe in the Fire
Merge with Burning
the way you were One
before what you call I came in Here

Do you really think your soul
was born with your body?
Do you really think flesh
gives birth to spirit?
Are you one of the many
suffering from a mistaken sense of identity?

See Wax running down the candle
of your once and now dead life...
be poured like that into the hand of the Beloved
Take the shape of Compassion - Christ! -; then,
Fall into the world, in Love again

Did you just feel a Breeze blow in Here?
Words hide when such Grace
comes knocking at
our door.
Don't talk! Don't even try to listen

There is work
The Beloved can only ready you for
in darkness
in quiet -
A whisper rises inside the heart: "Enough talk. Hush!
I have work to do in you,
you could never do by doing"

* * *

Why do you think Jesus, as the Gospels say, often went to solitary and quiet places to pray alone? What does it mean that Grace prepares us for some work in the world only within "darkness" and "quiet"? What does it mean, to you, to "fall into the world, in Love again"?

Grace and Peace to All

The Sacred in Me bows to the Sacred in You
