ABOVE TROUBLED TIMES

 Living within and embracing the "world" means dwelling in a realm of interconnectedness with others, which you often overlook as an extension of yourself. Your self-perception typically places you at the core of this personal universe.


What some people refer to as "heaven" can actually be experienced in the here and now while you are still immersed "in the world." It involves living from a profound inner place that represents the authentic truth of your being. In this inner realm, the concept of "others" dissolves, as all individuals are recognized as expressions of your own Self.


This profound understanding aligns with the message and life of Jesus, who endeavored to share this wisdom. A verse in scripture states, "He who is joined to the Lord is One Spirit." This One Spirit embodies LOVE, often referred to as "our father who art in heaven." This perspective allows Jesus to assert, "If you've seen me, you've seen the father," while acknowledging that his earthly, fleshly form is distinct from the divine source.


Living from this inner place of unity, you begin to see every person as a reflection of yourself, extending beyond the image in the mirror, which could be considered your "only begotten image." By embarking on a journey to connect with this inner sanctum deep within you, you can undergo a "resurrection" of Spirit. This spiritual awakening leads to the rediscovery of the Love that has always been within you throughout eternity.


May the challenges of these troubled times inspire you to dig deep within yourself, uncovering that sanctuary of perfect peace where all remains well, regardless of the chaos surrounding you. This inward exploration allows each individual to gradually perceive their true Self in one another, where Love becomes the sole essence that truly matters. If this doesn't resemble heaven, it's challenging to conceive what does.
