Headlines, Horror and Havoc seem to be the majority of what we are “fed” these days by our news agencies. The strength of character we are building during this holy season can certainly be put to the test. There is a fine line between being informed and educated about conditions and circumstances in the world and being saturated with darkness in order to influence our thinking, eating away at any sense of divine order and right action.
It seems that the more Light that finds its way into our hearts and minds the more the darkness fights for its “right” to dominate this world. It is a good thing…this battle…because it is expressing its ability to bring forth a new world order of Holiness. This is decision time for all of us and no matter how rooted we are in our thinking there is always another level of the Divine waiting to be experienced.
It can be an awesome experience or it can devastate. It is all up to us. This Lenten season is all about seeking the renewal of consciousness, the rebirth of love and grace. It is the time to walk, talk and become the Holy Ones…not holier than though…but truly Holy. Even with imperfections and disagreements within ourselves we can still attach to the energy of the Holy Mind. We can still transcend, even if for only a few moments a day, into the Sacred Space of the Divine. We can build our reverence for Life. We can establish our very own strength and wisdom which can then transcend the irrational, the dark, the biting stings of prejudice.
We are balance. We are beautiful. We are Love. We are Holy.
As a child singing in Sunday services, one of my favorite Hymns was: Holy, Holy, Holy. The third verse, although connected to the concept of a personalized being sitting in the heavens…still has a powerful message as we understand it today:
Holy, Holy, Holy, though the darkness hide thee, though the eye of sinful man thy glory may not see. Only thought art Holy, there is none beside thee, perfect in power, in love and purity.
These lyrics speak of the Divine..the source of Love in the Sacred I am . The Sacred I am is Holy. There is nothing more powerful or pure or Holy.
I love you…Please forgive me…I am sorry…Thank you!
