First we learn how to die. We meet oblivion and run from and back to it like a child playing with the ocean waves…both thrilled and terrified by their magnificent power and beauty.
First we learn how to die. We do this as we learn to live. We stop running from its opposite and find the possibility in death. We turn over the rock and find teeming life beneath it. We find life after death and we find that life is better after death. We live and die in every single moment…some small almost unnoticeable insignificant seeming deaths and rebirths…others like tidal waves that take down absolutely everything you knew about yourself. Indeed everything you knew at all.
First we learn how to die. Then when we have learned to live and die, we learn resurrection. When we learn how to fall we inevitably grow closer to learning how to rise. How does one rise? We learn to sink and dive to the deepest depths within ourselves…what do we bring back to the surface? How do we take that level of transformation and bring it through into flesh and bones, morning routine, driving the car, getting back on the phone, grocery shopping? How do we step totally altered back into what looks like the same life?
We Rise. We rise above what looks the same and watch from a place we haven’t been before. We rise without apologizing, without begging, without arrogance, without criticism, without guilt. We rise without even trying. Transformation is like helium. When we have transformed we rise without even trying. We literally vibrate at a different frequency, and when we are speaking of soul transformation this means we are raising that frequency.
We rise. We greet the stars and see what they see. We keep that kind of company. We rise into the earth. We rise to the height of a flower. As we all notice these roll-your-ship-in-the-waves intense storms of energy…sleeping like running a marathon, tuned in to the intensity at all levels, everything coming into total holographic focus, ask yourself how you would like to rise. If you are reading this you are going to. No more ceilings…all the dimensions are open. Rise, rise, rise. Love is the height and the depth. No more scary corners only pure, beautiful, unexplored jungles and forests and oceans and hills into eternity.
