Do not move in directions that diminish or reduce our humanness…
Now is the time to move in directions that work for all my children, all children in the world.
A Mother’s Command
Faith, hope and love are the essence virtues of our humanness… patterns of intent of the Source, the Source of all, the Source of Creation… of the whole of creation.
Our work in the world requires, involves, and is organized by the advancing of our humanness… a continuing process of the unfolding of our potential to be and become fully and truly human.
The particular work of now, of this time of potential, requires our moving towards wholeness – away from that which divides… and it is to be organized by that which works for all children, all children in the world.
Faith, hope and love are the essence virtues of humanness. They are what living human society looks to if its wish and intent is to live and work in ways that reflect inherent and intended humanness. They are the source of values for a society and culture that seeks to be both nourished by and nourishing to the Source… and for a people who are intentionally working to be and become fully and truly human.
EXISTENCE Some values come to us through necessity, through the realities of existence… natural values – inherent within ourselves and within our living on earth.
ESSENCE Other values emerge from virtue through essence. At this time of potential, a time of regenerating intent – of regenerating our intentionality with regard to the intent and intended ways of working of the Source – we reflect upon faith, hope and love as sources for the unfolding work before us… the work of moving towards wholeness, the organized pursuit of that which works for all children, all children in the world.
FAITH: Faith, at this time of now, is that of having faith in intent, intended ways of working… a significant shift from having faith in the integrity of our systems, particularly those that we have created. Having faith in intent brings forth an emerging integrity that not only works within our systems, and between ourselves, but fully embraces intended ways of working – an intentionality that emerges from the Source.
HOPE: Hope then, lies in progressions of humanness, progressions that require a deeper, more wholistic connection to the Source… an advancement that encompasses the realities of existence, but indexes more toward being and spirit… of our being more fully and truly human, of our bringing forth and manifesting a more essential human spirit… the nature of spirit required to regenerate intentionality… the intentionality intended for the people of earth, the people of a common Source… an intentionality that moves us towards wholeness, away from that which divides; and works for all children, all children in the world.
LOVE: Love is the force behind our becoming. It is through love that all things are possible. It is through love that we sustain our potential to be and become fully and truly human. Love works to lift us up, to enable an extension of our reach beyond where we are, to move towards who we need to be. Love leads us by making visible the pattern of compassion being called for… the pattern that organizes the shift in being, the nature of being we need to move towards… to embrace.
The pattern of compassion being called for at this time is the compassion of caring about… caring about the whole of life, the whole of humanity… all of the children, the children of a common Source, the children for whom we are now called to work.
We can begin to see, at this time, the realizing of the potential that lies within the intentional virtues of faith, hope and love; whereby their particular patterns of intent are imbedded within and become organizing values for our ways of living and working. Culture is being created as the now virtues of faith; hope and love become organizing values for ways of living and working.
