Stepping onto the Wisdom Path;
Becoming Authentic…
All virtue emanates from the Source. Each and all of creation has embedded within, an essence virtue, virtue intended to be manifested and realized through the unfolding of life. Life is a potential-realizing process… a process by and through which embedded virtues are manifested and realized.
We, humankind, are intended to join in the Creator’s potential-realizing process… a joining in that becomes possible through our “Yes” to vesselness for love entering life, and “Yes” to instrumentality for nourishing life. Yessing vessleness, we embrace living the beatitudic process, a spiraling process encompassing larger and larger wholes – self, community, people of a land, people of earth. Yessing instrumentality, we create value adding processes– virtue sourced, essence based processes – processes of value to the Source of each, all and everything.
“If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all.”Christ embraces a child (MK 9:35-37) to show us the beatitudic beginning – be poor in spirit: receive this child, the pureness of life, the embodiment of potential, in the name of Christ, all-inclusive love entering. Step onto the path of all-inclusive loving, and join in the Father-Creator’s eternalizing life work – the intended ongoing upwardly unfolding creation. “Whoever receives one child in my name receives me… receives, not me, but the One having sent me.”To join in the Father’s work calls for our joining in the potential-realizing process of life. Receiving such a child is receiving the pure essence virtue of one for whom we feel no kinship, tribal family ties, no workmate responsibility. And, with all-inclusive love in our process, nourishing the potential realizing of this child in a way that nourishes all children – including ourselves – becoming vessels for all-inclusive love entering life and instruments for nourishing life, nourishing the life processes, systems and structures of earth and her members, including humankind.
Now is the time of potential… a time for wisdom leading and love entering. The greatest wisdom of this time is to work for all children, all children in the world… with love in our processes. This being the way of stepping onto the wisdom path of “Thou Shall love one another as I have loved,”and “Thy Will be done on this earth.” This being the process of Christ, the intended process of humankind: “Follow me… I am the way.”
