Living Light

Inspired from the first three verses of The Heart Sutra of Great Perfection The Venerable Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, When carrying out the profound Prajnaparamita career, Penetrated through the five aggregates And saw that they are Shunya in their nature. Here, Shariputra, Form is Shunyata; Shunyata is Form. Form does not differ from Shunyata; Shunyata does not differ from Form. That which is Form is Shunyata; that which is Shunyata is Form. The very same applies to feeling, idea, formations and consciousness. Here Shariputra, all Dharma’s are marked with Shunyata; Neither originated nor destroyed; neither defiled nor undefiled; neither decreased nor increased. Therefore, Shariputra, in Shunyata, no form, no feeling, no idea, no formation, no consciousness… Contemplation #1 Why seek emptiness?  Because in becoming empty we become All in All . Yet how can you seek that which cannot be sought?  Surely emptiness cannot be found by see...

We bear witness to the Light of Oneness by remembering and cultivating light in our lives. This is done by becoming aware of and consciously noticing light in all its many forms; but it is also done by taking care of and loving ourselves so we can take care of and love others. We, as human beings will find both joy and purpose in this. Light will always manifests as Love, Harmony and Beauty; in acts of compassion, service, respect, and consideration of others. Acts of ignorance, are acts taken without realization of our interconnection with all life. We all act in ignorance at times but the more we try to remember and/or act with Love, Harmony and Beauty the less this occurs. Thus will our lives be transformed!

Humanity is at a point, because of free-will, self-awareness and the power of co-creation, given to it by the One Reality, to be able to override the natural programming designed to protect and nourish us. Yet, there are many people in the world who are ignorant and asleep to the Light of Oneness.  These individuals, unfortunately, are not awakened and therefore not responsible for their actions at this time in their evolution - because they simply just don’t know any better.  They are caught up in personal, self-centered actions. The law of Karma will still hold them accountable in its own way. Also, most unfortunately, many of these individuals are in positions of power and influence within the societies of the world. This places a burden of service and responsibility upon those who are awake, and who do have the capacity to bear witness to the Light of Oneness in manifestation. Unfortunately, for those who have no capacity for Love, Harmony and Beauty, who are S...

Surely Life is meant to be a great Alchemical Cauldron of transformation, where evolution, growth,and continual awakening are to take place. All beings born on earth are born for this purpose, yet at the individual level we cannot expect all beings to be awake to the same degree at the same time – but all beings can and will awaken in time, if we who strive to stay awake will uphold the Light of Oneness by witnessing it manifest in all things.

Humanity, due to the gift of Self-Awareness has been singled out from the rest of the life forms on Mother Earth, and given the power of free-will and co-creation. These are the greatest of all gifts to be given to a species but we also NEED to realize that they come with the responsibility of determining our fate and destiny: and when I say “our”, I am not talking about you or me individually; I am talking about the whole of life on Earth.   Although the overall programming of the Universe is robust and ever renewing, humanity and the biosphere which supports all life on Earth is very, very fragile. Like a beautiful garden, life on this planet needs our benevolent care and attention.   The Divine Reality and Nature itself will assist us, but we need to act in ways that enable and allow it – this is what it means to be Co-Creators with God. It means humanity can advance, retard or over-ride the natural programming of the Universe designed to help us evolve and self-preserve....
