New Beginnings

 

“There is neither past or future

There is only the present

Yesterday was the present when you experienced it;

Tomorrow will also be the present when you experience it.

Therefore, experience takes place only in the present,

And beyond and apart from experience

Nothing exists.”

-     -  Ramana Maharshi

We are at the end of 2012 and 2013 is just beginning.  Many of us are getting it that the shift from 12-21-12 is a time of new beginnings.  What may have been there as a deep pattern can now shift into a fresh start. 

Who knows what has occurred, in Consciousness, at this time.  The Light Network of Love was huge and could have had an effect on this shift.  We don’t know for sure.  As each one of us followed our Heart, there was indeed a Heart Community in full alignment with a win-win for all. This can be very powerful.

Someone shared recently, "This is a new world, we are walking a new road with a very different vibration."

Ramana Maharshi, above, has shared with us the pure Truth that underlies all appearance.  It is heart-warming to see this message coming about in the world around us....realizing our “experience,” here and now, is all there is and it is full and complete just as it is.  When we leave the past behind us, a shift can occur in the present that is ever-fresh.  When we allow the future to come alive in it’s own natural way, we are at peace in the present.  Being wide-open and accepting of what is arising in this present moment, as it is, and giving way to Awareness Presence is our freedom.  We realize that, "beyond and apart from experience, nothing exists." 

Have a Happy and Blessed New Year.

P.S.  A dear friend, Michele Bordelon, has given us a powerful process to work with to bring in 2013, consciously.  Check here for her inspiring message: <http://balpoint.net/2012/12/30/in-2013-choose-to-be-you-fully-and-shine-that-beautiful-light/>

Living As One Heart...One Love...One Life

“One should build up one’s own circle

so as to serve the interests of society

and then make it prosper

so that society itself may prosper.

Brotherhood based on a sense of equality

is the supreme goal to be attained

 by human society as a whole.

Through brotherhood,

supreme peace will prevail

among mankind

and then this entire planet

will flourish like a single household.”

—Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi

Everything is pointing in this direction of “brotherhood” as Sri Bhagavan has seen and so beautifully stated so many years ago.  He has set the stage for this time that is now upon us, along with many other Seers of Truth. 

Those who are reading this blog are my dear friends and spiritual family.  I have been feeling how wonderful it would be if somehow we could all to be together at this very auspicious time.  I’m sure you have been guided to be at a certain place and time on 12-21-12 to celebrate.  How about all of us starting the day together in meditation?  We could begin at 6:00 am and stay in Silence until the sun fully rises, bringing in this new era as a network of Light and Love.

There is a meditation that also came up to share with you to use, if you wish.  It is what I call the Radiant Heart Meditation.

Here is how it goes…

Being the Awareness that is aware of all that is present … bring into Awareness the body-mind sitting in the chair …  allowing the Radiance of who-I-am to fill this body-mind … and to fill the room … [pause to feel this] 

Now, allowing this Radiance of who-I-am to fill my home and everyone and everything in it … [pause to feel this]

Now, allowing this Radiance of who and what I am to shine forth throughout the entire city … state … province … country … including everyone and everything it this Radiance …

Now, allowing this Radiance of Being to shine across the oceans … around the whole world … and out into the Universe … including everyone and everything it this Heart Radiance …

Simply basking in this Radiance 

… as One Heart 

      … as One Being 

                 … as One Life 

                             … as One Love 

Always and forever …

 

“Exclusive contemplation of the Heart 

is inclusive of everyone and everything.”  

- A. Ramana

           

Love one another. As I have loved you…

- Christ Jesus

                                                                                

Happy Grace-filled Holidays!

“Wherever you go, there you are.”

A dear friend shared this with me recently.  She spoke my feelings, exactly. 

I am in Canada now, just outside of Toronto.  My sister and her family have invited me to stay with them for a while.  So here I am back in my home country.  And, even though 44 years have passed since leaving and many significant changes have occurred on the surface of things … here I am …

With the Christmas Holidays happening and a recent wedding, there has been a gathering of family and old friends.  Lots of memories, good and not so good, are passing through.  What a lovely opportunity this is - even though it can be uncomfortable and even painful at times.  I’m sure you know what I mean.

I’ll have to share with you what happened when I opened up a bank account here.  When I was giving my name and information, the bank manager asked for my birth certificate and social insurance number for Canada to fill out the paper work.  Even though I had changed my name legally over 30 years ago, in USA, it is not recognized here in Canada.  My name is still Wendy Elizabeth MacDonald …  interesting, isn’t it?  Once we have chosen completion in this lifetime and set our transformation into motion, everything is brought up into Awareness to be received, fully seen through and loved.  “Wendy” is the little girl that is here, now, lovingly being embraced in the Light of Awareness. 

Have a wonderful holiday season with your family and loved ones.  I am so grateful for our being together in this Grace-filled opportunity to lovingly embrace ALL of who I am/we are.

Be with you at noon tomorrow ... 12-12-12 ... May the Love we're sharing spread it's wings around the world and beyond ... making us an Instrument of Your Peace ...
