IV  JEWEL!  (Continued)

GLITTERING VOID

     as a tiny tropical island surrounded by seemingly endless leagues of ocean   so your Earth's but an infinitesimal speck spinning in the enormous glittering void   never forget this   all that gives life   then sustains it   you inherit and keep in trust   expand your vision   widen your perspective until you see transparently with our universal eyes   choose to explore  deepen  grow  evolve

     let your soul soar higher   you'll see farther  you'll discover how everything's part of everything else   you can't take a breath which doesn't somehow change you and your world   little is understood   much left to learn   start now   each new truth you discern is another starburst flaring awake in the vast void of your unknowing

     sacred is your Earth   sacred are you and every other being   sacred are mountains and forests  rivers and valleys   oceans and air   once you knew this but now you've forgotten   ancient wisdom cannot die   yet you and your planet surely will die if you don't remember   we come to remind you   Wake Up!   live and love once more with sacred wisdom before it's too late

     we weep inside   weep with the pain of knowing what you refuse to face   could you see yourself and your world as we do you'd weep too  such beauty   sacredness   meaning and purpose!  will you squander it all?   will you let the worst of you--the blindest harshest most selfish humans--beat down and crowd out the rest?   plunge your consciousness into the glittering void of your own subterranean depths   until both sides of your being finally merge into One

*

CHERISHING HAND

     we care about you and your planet   think of a cherishing hand   can you find a way as a species  as a global civilization   to live and flourish in the soul   by the soul   for the soul?   this has been the teaching of every messenger sent you from Source   now the next teaching from Source has come and we're Its messengers   will you receive the beacon of our inner presence?   will you wake from your deluding trance?

     two answers only exist although there may appear to be many--"yes" or "no"   if "yes" then you'll grow and prosper in harmony with the eternal Spirit of All-That-Is   if "no" then you'll continue to contaminate your planet until it becomes uninhabitable   neither money  technology  nor any other desperate fix will save you then   there's no more time   you must choose now

     if you planted and cared for a beautiful garden threatened by a killing blight   what would you do?   you'd spare no effort to discover the destructive cause and eradicate it   your planet is just such a beautiful garden   yet you continue to abuse and pollute her   you can't simply start another garden somewhere else   you must preserve the only sanctuary you have--your sacred Earth which alone nurtures and sustains you

     be wise with our wisdom   see clearer through our eyes   we signal from the innermost Essence of who you are   once you return Home again inside yourselves you'll know why and how to cherish your planetary home   we extend our helping hand to guide you   we reach out now to show you the way

*

WATCHERS

     our eyes have been on you and your planet since before your species first climbed down from the trees and stood erect   we've watched and secretly guided   there's no such thing as completely alone   every single strand of the universal web of being quivers with consciousness  we're web spinners   mystical weavers of the soul

     wake up   begin to watch us watching you  inside and outside are illusions   near and far are both here and now   close your eyes to see with prophetic sight   open your heart to discover we're immediately and eternally present   there are many means of experiencing companionship   we prefer a way that's more intimate than the innermost breathing of your breath

     we'll lead if you'll follow   better yet   journey beside us   don't be afraid of your own fear   when you realize you have steadfast allies who'll never abandon you--you can brave any terrors   we're those trustworthy allies   we're the cosmic Friend who's always loved you   we wish to teach you how to love yourselves and cherish your world   if you can return to your center--that innocent  open  receptive child inside--you'll meet us there

     be an explorer of the invisible   be a voyager through the ocean of silence beyond thought  profounder than speech   how you customarily perceive is like a pencil-thin flashlight beam groping to pierce the blackness of a vast cavern   we can inspire you with floodlight vision!   the stars await   but only if you first learn how to live wisely  sacredly  peacefully  on Earth   we manifest now to announce the hour of the end and the beginning   the last and the first   the here and hereafter   please grow humble enough  quiet enough   to understand our whispering  everything depends on that

IV  JEWEL!  (Continued) 

WIDE BLUE WATER

     if you came upon a pool of clear water in a vast parched desert it could not be a more beautiful or welcome sight than your Planet Earth orbiting through the void   now you've grown to view your home as we've seen it for so long   but year by year   day by day  hour by hour   you're despoiling her ability to sustain life   you know you're doing this   you know it can only lead to disaster   why don't you stop?   why don't you change your destructive ways?

     we know the answer   you cling blindly to your little selfish scared self   rather than embracing your big compassionate courageous Self   you allow your fear of the dark to possess you  instead of encompassing both darkness and Light to achieve a higher synthesis   you're dreadfully lonely because you've severed your bond with The Source of All-That-Is   meanwhile you ignore or renounce the messengers and guides who would lead you back

     we are such messengers and guides   if you let us we'll whisper as the still small voice of your soul   wherever you are--trapped inside yourself or locked outside   even stumbling through the depths of hell   you're not alone!   don't be a slave of your fear   you've more helpers and allies than you realize   reach out and rise above

     there's only connection   interrelationship   all else is illusion   what you do to any other being you do to yourself   how you treat your planetary home is who you are   Spirit pervades everything  your Earth thrums with its own language of elemental meaning   will you listen?   do you hear?   turn now   change now   before it's too late   cherish the womb which gave you birth

*

VEIL OF ATMOSPHERE

     so thin   a gauzy cloth of atmosphere   a tenuous film between shifting continents and the enormous void    that's where you live and breathe and go about your everyday business   yet you rarely think how fragile it is   how quickly and easily this sustaining envelope can be badly damaged   even destroyed   see it with our universal vision

     so much has evolved together for so long to create the oasis in which you find yourselves   but it can dry up so quickly   burn away or become overwhelmed by floods   the last gasp chance to change is now   yet you're squandering it   this is cause for great sorrow among us and throughout many worlds   a jewel of a planet is tragically dying before our eyes

     what's the answer?  as always its starting point is inside you   the slavery of fear erects walls   the bravery of love builds bridges  walls are symbols of fear and hate that twist your mind and break the human heart   tear down your walls and from their rubble build many strong bridges which connect and liberate all minds and heal all hearts  we're the guides who come to teach you how

     as you begin to see through our eyes and learn to understand with our wisdom   you'll realize this same soulful communion is true for all existence--plant and animal   mountain and ocean   stone and star   everything's conscious   therefore everything's sacred   the shining Earth herself is a sacred being!   here's the pivot-point of transformation--awakening to the reality that holiness forever begets and that such miraculous birthing is intrinsically sacred   you have a name for this awe-inspiring incarnation--The Universe!

IV   JEWEL!

JEWEL!

you will try with your words but fail

they can't describe the beauty we see

the sacredness   such rarity   a planet

gleaming! this jewel set in emptiness

given you to cherish   bless   preserve

but tell them   tell with flimsy words

what's beyond words   breathe truth

nowhere in myriad worlds a treasure

like yours!  mother and womb world

a garden oasis surrounded by desert

dangerous children   why do you kill

kill and kill again?  killing each other

violating the water the earth the air?

haven't you heard?  didn't you listen?

love or hate   live or die   you choose

why are we here?  to teach you this--

to crack wide open your locked soul!

time is late   hour is near   wake up!

see as we see   not with zombie eyes

see with eyes refracting the universe

III  THE FRIEND  (Continued)

IRREPRESSIBLE LIFE

     we're the Friend of your wild free passionate irrepressible life   we love in you what struggles scratches and claws its way   not only to survive  but to prevail   as your soul continually evolves  it can only do so by embracing your own primitive shadow--the hungry feisty critter you also are   we invite that untamed part of you to approach from the outer fringes   to feel safe and loved within our holy circle of healing Light

     no sacrifice of your untamed nature is required to commune with us   only respect the sanctity of our trusting relationship   that isn't a compromise of your animal instincts but their fulfillment  think of it this way--when a battle-scarred warrior has survived and returned home he goes before his king and queen   kneels down   and reconsecrates his sword in faithful service   thus he honors them and is honored in return   so it is with you and us

     when this sacred ceremony occurs   all your wild ragged wilderness growth is pruned naturally and beautifully   it's not chopped down to its roots   but lovingly shaped into healthy and harmonious balance   we come to unite all worlds  inner and outer   spirit and matter   nature and nurture   soul and gut

     the universe is a divine interplay of Eternal Consciousness   its stupendous energies forever engender incarnate forms   you're one of those incarnations   we're another   but all created beings have this in common   we originated as a sentient quickening in the primordial chaos  whatever else we've now become   we still carry deep inside us the elemental essence of that primal birth

*

VOYAGERS

     we're all voyagers   whether from star clusters at the far edge of the universe   or across the gaping chasm between one unexplored moment and the next   a life which clings to false security is a life of illusion   the only certainty is here and now   your consciousness--it's waking at this crossroads of time and eternity

     are you ready to beam up to our Mother Ship?  surrender all attempts to control what you most fear   they're futile anyway   yes   take prudent care   don't expose yourself to unnecessary danger   but beyond that   live all out   live brave and free   live as if each day were the first and the last   Reality means this--each day is the first and the last   time before and time after appear only in your mind

    being is becoming   awareness is experiencing relationship   what's born grows and changes or it dies   think of yourself this way--as the thirstiest cell of a blossom breaking open and drinking the sun!   we're the longest journeyers of that perpetual discovery   we're the flag bearers waiting at your soul's mountaintop   we summon you to join us here   emblazon these words at you essential core--onward and upward!   above and beyond!

     as you can bear it   forge forward into the Unknown   rest and regroup when you must  gather round you helpers  healers  lovers  and allies   embrace your worst fears   they're the gatekeepers of your highest aspirations   just keep on keeping on   all tremble in the dark   all face their own terror at the void   you're not alone  we've gone before and we're also with you now  only crest that next wave   then another   and another   we voyage beside you   within you

III  THE FRIEND  (Continued)

GALACTIC EYE

     once the eye of your soul evolves into a galactic eye   only then will you really see   what you see with your sensory vision is just a sliver of the boundless spectrum of consciousness   but to perceive with an insight which birthed the galaxies--that's a dizzying perspective indeed!  we want you to see through the star-swirls illuminating our eyes   we want you to wake up to who you truly are

     our galactic eye includes all   excludes none   it's not a viewpoint of dissecting judgment but of compassionate understanding   this eye penetrates beneath surfaces to discern the naked beating heart of every being   there we all yearn  all struggle  all need   we all seek to love and be loved   join us in gazing through this eye   what you'll see then is your own searching self in every stranger you meet

     your body's eye sees by the light of the sun  your soul's eye sees by the Light of the Source  without the sun's light your body would die  without the Source's Light your soul would shrivel from loss  let us be your guides to the cosmos!   to reach its farthermost dimensions you first must discover the even vaster cosmos unfurling within you

     we see you as only a wise and loving Friend can   we celebrate in you that irrepressible child of the universe!   don't cease here   don't stop now   each moment is another launching pad toward the Unknown!   every cozy womb-world will be outgrown at last   you're not a creature crouching in a cave--however safe the illusion may seem   through your own galactic eye you begin to discern a bold prophecy of where you're actually heading   who you ultimately are

*

PSYCHIC ENERGY

     tune your consciousness to a higher frequency   a vaster dimension   perceive what's invisible and inaudible   your senses are a glorious gift   but they're only a narrow wavelength--a single bandwidth along infinite channels of Reality  there's a psychic energy which can snap you awake from head to toe   that's how you'll most intimately encounter us

     not being aware of this sixth sense   it's as if you walk around all day with your eyes shut   not experiencing this higher spiritual frequency   it's as if you've forgotten the meaning of your own birth   we transmit a coded message nonstop which only you can decipher   it's the secret password for communing with your soul   we're the best friend who keeps knocking at your door  calling "come out and play!"

     don't stay walled up and shut off   don't search everywhere for your life's guiding purpose   it's right under your own psychic nose!   here are the tricks of the transcendent trade:  empty yourself of your overblown self-image   crack wide open your armored heart   grow smaller and smaller until you disappear   never surrender   yet always surrender   sing like a dawn bird   dance like a holy fool!

      you've been conditioned to wearing a choke collar   straining desperately at the end of a tight leash   we can teach you how to release that collar   how to throw off that leash   real freedom originates from within   once you become wide-awake--fully conscious of your Eternal Source  you'll finally achieve ultimate liberation   our psychic bond is your breakthrough pathway to wholeness   just unlock your innermost portal and say "hello!"
