The Way of Understanding

The Way of Wis­dom, Humil­i­ty and Love

The Wheel of Life-Con­scious­ness-Spir­it turns once more.

Time to move out of the Waters of the Deep,

The Space of Union that is Scorpio.

Time to draw back your bow of Inten­tion, and take aim by the Clar­i­ty of Fire,

To look for Truth in the Wis­dom Ways of Sagittarius.

You have felt the joy of Union; and you have felt the agony of Sep­a­ra­tion too.

It is time to step back, to widen your per­spec­tive and points of view…

It is time to drink from that Ancient Well of Wis­dom, and add your pre­cious drops too.

Now you wish for one thing only, now you yearn to “under­stand”. You need the essence, the elixir of mean­ing from those heart­felt “meet­ings and part­ings”. You smiled in the joys of find­ing com­mon pur­pose, of shar­ing your life or your work with one anoth­er, and becom­ing even more who you are through join­ing with one another.

Or, you expe­ri­enced the awful pain of being bro­ken apart as you found your com­mon grounds were not so com­mon after all. What defined you and they now made clear, at least for now, that you were too dif­fer­ent from one anoth­er; your paths may have crossed, only to sep­a­rate once again.

What did you learn about your­self (and of them)? What are you sup­posed to make from those awe­some heights of ecsta­sy and these painful depths of despair…exactly where do you go from here?

You need to har­vest the mean­ing from these expe­ri­ences, so you can under­stand the Quin­tes­sence of Truth behind them. You aspire to see how these glean­ings of mean­ing may pro­vide some insight about your­self and your des­tiny, and like­wise offer a Prov­i­den­tial point­ing to the greater des­tiny of “I and Thou” and your larg­er world too. Whether you came togeth­er as one; or fell apart into sep­a­ra­tions (for a time), you need this now. You must under­stand what this means, the how’s and why’s of what hap­pened in that mys­te­ri­ous and Alchem­i­cal space of union.

Know this, it was exact­ly in this fric­tion­al cru­cible of val­ue and mean­ing, of Unions made and Unions lost, it is exact­ly through this that you will dis­cern what is you and what is less you. This is “the way”, you find your­self in and through one anoth­er. That by going out to meet, under­stand and join with them you also dis­cov­ered “you”, that this is the way you come that much clos­er to your own true self too.

But now there is this urgent need to under­stand what hap­pened, to extend your­self into a more encom­pass­ing frame­work of mean­ing. You wish to know how to be your­self, and for them to be them­selves too, and so remain true to the path of light and love. Because you do need one anoth­er, we all need one anoth­er to become who we are meant to be. This is the Spir­i­tu­al Dance of Life, the One and the many, and out of the many we return to the One.

So, you look for answers, you seek in the Halls of Wis­dom and you look with­in your own mind­ful heart too. You look to the gifts of your Ances­tors, from the Teach­ers, Sages and Seers who came this way before. They too strug­gled to under­stand, and their gifts remain a Light in the Dark­ness, and will help you to dis­pel the shad­ows of Igno­rance and Evil in the world. By Phi­los­o­phy, Reli­gion, Sci­ence and Art, their Rea­son­ing and Faith are the hard-won Quin­tes­sence of their spir­i­tu­al strug­gles for the Greater Aware­ness, and their Lives, Love and Rea­son the most pre­cious gift offered for one and all.

Yet the path­ways of Truth are equal­ly found with­in, because the same spir­i­tu­al light behind all that is “out there”, is equal­ly what makes you, you. Your own Wis­dom Well, your High­er Self, will gen­tly whis­per inte­gral affir­ma­tions, align­ing what you inward­ly intu­it with what you out­ward­ly know by expe­ri­ence, and so you take anoth­er step on the path of Truth too. You will offer your­self and your dew­drops of under­stand­ing, adding your expe­ri­ences to the Well of Wis­dom shared by one and all.

But because you are unique, each of you will come to the Greater Aware­ness upon dif­fer­ent paths, so that even in your seek­ing for truth and under­stand­ing, you will come togeth­er but also at times pull apart over what is “the truth”. But through Rea­son and by Love, by com­bin­ing and refin­ing, through inner Inspi­ra­tions and out­ward con­fir­ma­tions, you will come to know the most impor­tant Truth behind all the less­er truths you hold, that before me is anoth­er, just like me, and my only way for­ward is to love them as I love myself.

You start­ed as One, one with one anoth­er, and you will through all your indi­vid­u­a­tions, dif­fer­en­ti­a­tions and res­onations as a unique spark of the Divine, you will end as many but One again. In your jour­neys through Worlds, Forms and Lives you are will always be a spe­cial spark of the divine, and you will bring forth your indi­vid­u­al­i­ty and dif­fer­ences that make you dis­tinct. But this will also bring about your sep­a­ra­tions from one anoth­er too, at least for a time. But for­ev­er and always you must remem­ber the fun­da­men­tal Truth, that you are made by and for one anoth­er. You must strive to hold togeth­er “I and Thou”, to both hon­or the indi­vid­u­al­i­ty in one anoth­er yet ten­der­ly dis­cov­er, nur­ture and abide in the Greater Aware­ness and Real­i­ty which is your Love for one another.

Your Jour­ney is the sto­ry of Con­scious­ness, of the self that is the Self-Becoming.

As you draw ever clos­er to Wis­dom you will find that you will also become more hum­ble too. For this is truth, the more you under­stand, tru­ly under­stand, the more encom­pass­ing, nuanced and lov­ing your truths will become. Your Wis­dom will grow as your Humil­i­ty grows too. There is an inte­gral align­ment between your Mind and Heart, and in this Jour­ney of Self-Becom­ing, no mat­ter how high or far you have come, you must ever “Walk On” to greater Wis­dom, as you equal­ly deep­en your affec­tions for one another.

You shall be inspired by the great ones lov­ing­ly show you “the way”. They did not come to tell you what you do, for you must walk your own path towards Under­stand­ing. But by their exam­ple, they showed you who you real­ly are. By their Illu­mi­na­tion held in the Greater Aware­ness, and by their lives filled with Grace and Humil­i­ty, you see true Wis­dom and feel what is hold­ing togeth­er one and all, Uncon­di­tion­al Love.

Where is the answer, where is the Pearl of Great Price?

It is there in your heart, and found in all hearts too…

There you will find Peace in the Gift of Wisdom.

There you will find Grace in a Life of Humility.

There you will tru­ly Live with Uncon­di­tion­al Love.
