Episode 13 - Recognition

With so many intense experiences taking place every day, it’s easy to imagine that months have passed. But no, Alberto and I have been walking together for less than two weeks! Wondering if the inner intensity would let up, we find ourselves before a beautiful child who, with all the wide-eyed innocence of her young age, asks the question: “Are you Christians?” How do we answer without disappointing her? What label could possibly encompass what we knew to be the Love that includes all, and excludes none? Twenty-five years later, looking at the situation again through the lens of A Course in Miracles, we understand that what she was asking for had nothing to do with religion, but with RECOGNITION: With recognizing the Christ – the Light, the Love, the Eternal – Who shines beyond every label, every belief, every story and every appearance…and Who is always standing before us. In this episode too, we hear the moving story of Father Daniel, a story that is not in our book but that would alter the direction of our walk and open many questions about the meaning of love and sacrifice. The threads are clearly being woven for us to see that this pilgrimage was not merely about the distances walked, but the inner movement from seeing separate people with interests and intentions and purposes separate from my own... to recognizing the one shared Self. We offer this episode with great love, and the invitation to look beyond every label, every role, every appearance, and ask: Can I recognize the Christ here? For in recognizing Him in my brother, I remember Him in myself. Mony and Alberto * * * P.S.
