Be love.
Be here. Be as you are.
Knowing that underneath, and in, and through, and at the core of your experience right now is the energy of love. A holy vibration that connects you to everything else.
To the source of all that is. The Creator, Redeemer, and Regenerator of this life. The beingness that always was and always will be.
Be love.
Be this love for yourself. For your body. For your circumstances, for the people and beings, being-ness in and around you. Be love so that love overflows from you.
And when it is seemingly scarce, dive deeper inside, further below the surface of this love so that again you remember that it is all encompassing. So that you remember its great depths.
Be love. Know yourself to be a part of a much larger network of life that spans all time and all space, that includes all being-ness. Under all various disguises and identities.
Be love. That this love may not be an arbitrary or theoretical construct, but the essence of life as you know it. The essence of your life, that wants only to honor, and celebrate, and express the life that you are while in right relationship to everything else.
Be love beyond practices, beyond rituals, beyond statements of faith.
Be love in all your moments, all your endeavors, sacred and profane, mundane and purpose filled.
Be love.
Be honest.
About what you taste and see and feel and hear from your particular portal of love. Your source of life, your window into creation.
Be honest.
About how the pulls and the pushes of this material existence bump up against your desires, bump up against your hurts and your traumas. Your longings, and your dreams.
Be honest
About everything, everything, every feeling, every thought, every motivation, everything that is coming, everything that is going.
Be honest.
Be as you are. Fully with its messiness and its contradictions. With its growing pains. With all that it has been and all that it is becoming.
Be honest
Recognizing yourself to be life undergoing a process, life undergoing a process of continual change and transformation unto eternity.
Be honest
Knowing that anything that you keep hidden is holding on to shame or guilt or fear, maintaining the problem, maintaining the matrix of falsity that prioritizes some over others, that limits, that constricts, that exploits, that dominates, that seeks to control.
Be honest.
That you might find your way back to love, that you might be in the presence of love and be attentive to all that this love exposes and identifies.
Be honest.
More and more every day, even if it begins only with the honesty of silence within your own damn self. Honesty about your fears, your concerns, and that which you are holding tightly to.
Be honest.
With yourself, with those you feel safe with, with the one who created you. Knowing that the truth of this moment is not secret, it is not mysterious. It is known by the whole. It is needed by the whole.
Your healing, your truth is intricately, intricately bound to the healing of your neighbor. To the healing of our world. To the healing of the holy city descending from God, that it might replace this horror of Babylon.
Be honest.
Even though it brings grief and rage and frustration and fear. Be brave enough to stay vigilant to the truth, fearless in knowing yourself to be anchored in love, anchored in the eternal, anchored in the oneness of life of which you are a part.
Be not disturbed by the challenges of the flesh.
Be honest so that your flesh may be transformed so that the word may become flesh, so the truth that lives in your DNA and in your bones may find purchase, may find a place to be, if only for a moment. One honest moment is worth more than a lifetime of dutiful, unconscious service.
Be honest.
Be useful.
Know that you have a part to play.
A role in the great drama. That need not be acquired or discovered or earned, but that is always at the core of your being. That comes to life more and more as you rest in the core of your being as you remember yourself to be love.
As you become more and more honest about what that love calls you to.
Be useful
Not as the corporations or the executives or the economic systems call you to be useful. But in the act of saying no, following your deep inner guidance. And the act of seeing and honestly fleshing out all the falsity that has been driving you.
Be useful
Bring healing to your familial line. You are part of the whole. Your little bit of life that is calling to be restitched, reformed, regenerated.
Be useful.
Do what is needed. Respond with wisdom. With insight, with clarity. Notice how much you are controlled by reactions. How much your life is not your own as you live out old stories and old compulsions. Notice these reactions until they soften in the light of love and truth. And you rest further into your own being and your own bones and know what to do.
Be useful
Honor that this time on the planet is mostly a time of confusion.
Be useful
Be willing to be in the confusion, to allow it, instead of making hasty choices to control or bring about quick results.
Be useful
By allowing yourself to be decomposed, deconstructed, rearranged, reformed.
Like a caterpillar coming apart in the cocoon. We are a generation of transformation. We are a church of transformation. Transformation must be honored above all else, above conformity, above duty, above purity, above tradition. .
Be useful.
Be a part of the change you want to see in the world, by being that change. By making those changes on the inside first.
Trust that you are enough, that the one next step you are ready to take is enough, more than enough.
Be useful.
That we might each be well and in being well bring wellness to the whole world, bring wellness to earth and to heaven. Bring divinity into being, through ourselves. Through our actions, through our relationships, through our prioritization of love and truth.
Be useful
Just as you are. Just as God is calling you to be. Not rearranging and scurrying and hustling from a sense of lack. But living simply, slowly, from a place of abundance.
Be useful.
Be the new church.
Be the beloved community. Inside. And out.
