3-28. What you Are in Truth is the water that flows, the wind that blows, the Earth that grows and all the Love that you know. The Light that Shines is not for you... It is You.
The illusion of separation is the most fundamental organizing principle of the ego, and yet it is equally the most simple to see beyond. What exists in isolation from all that lives? Would you have any hope of surviving for any particular period of time upon the face of a desolate and barren Earth? What if the light of the sun were to suddenly wink out, casting you into literal darkness forevermore? What then would you be, save for a wandering wretch who would soon freeze, for it would not be thirst or starvation that would obliterate your existence - it would be the absence of the radiant heat from the infrared spectrum of the sun’s output that would leave you quite literally frozen in place on a snowball Earth. Where is your illusion of isolation from all that lives within an interdependent and intersupportive system of mutual benefit? All that lives is of God. All that is death is not of God, for there is no cessation of Creation, there is merely transformation into a great variety of other forms, many of which have no physical representation at all. Many others cannot be conceptualized of or contemplated by your mind at all, for they are higher dimensional states of existence that embody such profound harmonic resonance structures that they operate upon principles of functionality that have no direct elucidation or representation within any form of communication. Still though, they are aspects of Creation and they Serve, just as they should, for all that is of Creation is Life and all that Lives is Eternal. What you are is not the Light that you likely continue to believe shines for you from the Heart of God unto your outstretched and awaiting heart - you are equally the Light of Truth just as much as you are a willing recipient of its potent and eternal support. That which lives continues not just for you, but through you and because of you. These expressions of Truth have no opposite and they cannot be opposed by any aspect of Creation, for they are representative of the Totality of Unity and as such, they abide all assaults, needing no justification or summation within the ambit of expressive creativity that communication must employ. You reside upon the face of a planet seemingly exactly engineered to support your life with near perfect support, yet you might be tempted to believe that all of this variety of nourishing vegetation and climatic support systems of nearly unerring accuracy are simply random. Certainly much time was needed to allow them to develop as they have, and they have undergone many profound alterations throughout the long history of this planet. But are they fully random? Is your presence within this world, with its supportive environs so well matched to your needs, a wholly random endeavor of natural process, systems of trial and error which have resulted in organisms most accurately and effectively adapted to their habitats, all to be assigned to purely chaotic processes? The vast majority are, of course, for God does not seek to interfere with the material world and there is no operating principle to materiality save for neutrality in all of the possible implications of such a description. Yet there is an alignment and a utility that goes beyond all reason - you are an integral and necessary aspect of Creation and of the creation of this world, and that is not without purpose and meaning. You are just as much a part of the beautiful natural world as you are an inhabitant of it, and this connection cannot be broken - it can merely be forgotten, to the detriment of both the natural world and of those that believe themselves to be separate from, or ever superior to, all of the interacting systems that are absolutely necessary to sustain physical life within this world. Your life is interdependent upon the continued existence of so much else that lives, and this paragon of necessary interrelationship is deeply meaningful, when regarded from the correct perspective. That which lives does not do so in isolation from Life Itself. A creative impetus was necessary to begin the process of the great unfolding that is Life, and you are a part of this long and variegated journey from the simplest of protozoa to the massive complexity that was necessary to create your body. Your function within the world of form is to expand, but also to live in a state of harmony with all else that lives, for to be separate is to be in a state of denial of the Truth of Life, and that is not a state from which any peace can be accepted. You look outwards, to God, for the Light of Love but that is not the Way, Child of God. You are not just Given the Light so that you can discern and differentiate between that which is Truth and that which is illusion - you are Given the Light so that you can illuminate your own Soul and see that the Light of Love that is the Heart of God is equally you as well. What you Are, in Truth, is the purity of Love now given infinite and multifold form, so that it might expand indefinitely, until such a glorious moment when all that is Light, but that has forgotten its True Nature, Returns to the Light that birthed it and that sustains it forever. Within this Return, this great curving back of Creation so that it enfolds Itself within Its own Love for all that was Created, you will find a completion and a Peace that travels beyond all that you can ever imagine, for what is Given is Received as well. Having been Given all that you will ever need by God, you are already Complete. Your celebration of this Completeness ends when you accept it for yourself, translating Light into Truth and transcending Life into Love, so that you might dwell forever within the endless unfolding of Creation that is equally what you Are, just as much as it is what you have been Given to enjoy, forever.
