Epiphany
…The word that comes to mind is Epiphany: perhaps names the inner experience of realizing that to seek to fix all the wrongs that exist in today’s world is truly impossible, and leads to a real sense of hopelessness… but there is a way, a path forward… one anchored in, led by, the all-inclusive love of the Source entering through us into the working of life – our living, the life of the whole. The love, the essence of Christ, his teachings, his process, the aim of his work; the love that makes all things possible… makes possible the realizing of the potential of each and all… a manifestation, a manifesting of the intent, the intentionality behind the whole of all, and present within each… and therein lies the hope… real hope… the only and forever source of real hope…
Notes along the Way… Processing, People, Premises
Some seeing emerging from my reflecting on the personal development dialogue with my neighbor… personal development oriented dialoguing aimed at deepening our understanding of the premises, the process, and the potential present within the unfolding organized thought base we have come to call the living philosophy of potential. A two or more process… no expert present, love in the process, and work in the room. Present – not physically but in a work and being sense – present in our process was a recent interaction between a mutual friend, his daughter, and a man from Bangladesh. Their finding a common denominator, shared by all, their recent experiences of two or more processing initiated by the seeing and understanding – the premise – of that while, with regard to love, they had lost their faith in religion, but not lost their faith in love itself. All having experientially validated the seeing, understanding, beingness and sense of hope that emerges within two or more processing – no expert present, love entering, and the presence of work. And too, was the working presence of the essential premises of the living philosophy of potential: there being an Intentionality behind the whole of all… intended ways of working of life and love on this earth… each and all of us having work and role, a path, with regard to love entering and nourishing the intended unfolding of life on this living earth. And too, we developed increased clarity with regard to virtue sourced value adding work… seeing advancing our humanness being organized by love, the essence/uniqueness of our humanness… developing our vesselness ableness… and deepening our understanding and conscientiousness with regard to the life nourishing character of structures and structuring we create, bring into existence… into life. Hoping we have captured here, that which would enable further processing, and an increased depth of seeing and understanding.
Reflecting on Yesterday’s “Putting our Faith in Love”
Good morning Sandra… a bit of reflecting/prayerful questioning followed yesterday’s wake up, (a bit of a surprise) which followed my reflecting on your last note. And late last night some seeing began which coalesced as this morning’s wake up… That which is behind yesterday’s seeing captured in “Putting our Faith in Love”
When coming from intent, the intentionality behind the whole of all, we come to see and understand the realness, the truth of what is written there… and then
I am in the Father and the Father is in me (John 14:11)… Life emerges from Love…. Love emerges from life… Life is in Love… Love is in Life.
Where Does This Come From?
Having, once again, reflectively read the home page of the Path of Potential website… this question emerges: Where does this come from?… perhaps stating the intuitively obvious: “Clearly not from us!” And while I am in no way qualified to judge, this does not diminish, by one iota, the depth of appreciation I have for what is written there.
From Where do these Writings Come?
For a number of days now, a thought has been forming in my mind… the origin of, I am not certain, but it clearly has emerged from the recent writing, “There is… I Am… We are”; and the orienting work of the home page of the Path of Potential website. It has been actively present and it seems to be coalescing… Thus, the image and some words…
It began with Christ’s trip into the dessert… his forty days and nights of temptations. A retreat that began with the Spirit entering. Entering into his processing and revealing the truth of who he was, his why and his work… and the inner processing of such, not absent of much emotion, that caused him to “flee” into the dessert… only to be confronted with the externally imposed temptations of existence based, cultural pursuits, status, etc., and that which ego sought to lead/seduce him from his intended path. And then, having intentionally sustained his process, the cracking of the rock of ego, the resistance to non-intentional worldly pursuits, he emerges from the dessert… and states that the Kingdom of God – Thy will being done on this earth at this time – is at hand.
And then seeing our experience, and sensing that perhaps this was a manifestation of the pattern of Christ. And now we are in many ways expressing, everything is in its place… the Kingdom is at hand… now is the time of potential… a time of Thy will being done on this earth at this time… a time for living from and creating in ways that reflect the intended ways of working of life and love on this earth… a time for manifesting original intent… of joining in, saying yes to, the advancing humanness, life nourishing work of now… work that shifts from I to we… “we” as community, as brothers and sisters in the larger community of life.
A month later…
Reading the above, I realized the above reflections were behind this three-day Easter experience (see below)… an experience that began on Good Friday… and coalesced Easter Sunday Night. Then I remembered an experientially validate-able, expression from brother Keegan: If you come to understand something, in an embraceable way, you will shortly thereafter, often within three days, be tested. That reality really explains this Easter’s experience. That being, the engaging with a memory-organized reasoning mind of existence… that incessantly began its thinking from human centered economics… and now I really understand… as expressed in following writings…
This Three-Day Easter Experience…
Easter… a Simple Story He is risen… now is the time for realizing the potential Christ makes possible through completing the work for which he was sent… Being Authentic… Becoming Intentional…
We were/are not created as sinners… but rather drifted off the path… the path of original intent… turned away from the truth of our living human spiritual beingness… and towards existence based, human centered desires and pursuits… Christ, through making the all-inclusive love of the Source accessible to all who seek it, makes it possible for us to sin no more… to be authentic… to become intentional…
Off Path… an Easter Experience If you allow yourself to be externally organized…you are off the path of following Christ… If you start your thinking from human centered economics… you are off the path of your work, the why of your being created… disconnected from the Source… Together… you are stuck in the artificial world of our making… absent access to Spirit, absent will… lacking any possibility for free will conscious conscientious choice… totally adrift…
Argue Can’t argue your way into heaven… no matter how effective you seem to be… no arguing along the way of Christ…
Coalescing the Experience I come from truth… you come from proof
Seeing the Person as Process Seeing what was at work was the seeing of the person as process… process being the mind that was present… mind being process; brain/person being structure… seemingly not unlike our coming to see Christ as process…
Reflecting on This Easter Experience Was this, perhaps this was, an experience not unlike that which Christ experienced, as the ego led, memory organized, proof seeking mind of existence frustratingly called out the notion of “If you are who you, who they, say you are, save yourself “ … clearly a last attempt to cause Christ to deny the truth… join in the come from below process.
