The Guru Bead

I am stunned regularly by all the beauty in the world. The natural world, and the world of wisdom.I bow to the many teachers pointing me towards myself, while holding the mirror of eternityMy Ministry of Stillness website has a long list of teachers I loveAnd there are four primary teachers whose work weaves together into the hammock I can rest intoBut today, I’d like to talk about the message which resonates the clearest and is most impactful for me.It’s the work of a channel named Paul Selig, and his “Guides” who call themselves MelchizedekI’ve been in accord with this work for a decade as a primary influence.It offers a certainty that the divine is in dominion -How could it not be?We can align to it or struggle against it, we are in choiceBut it behooves us to recognize that EVERYTHING is divine.“The denial of the divine is the only challenge humanity truly faces”God is in expression everywhere, as everythingThis makes a lot of sense to meAnd the truly awful stuff?That’s a part of the divine acting in denial of the divineEvery time.“[this] is part of love, too. It’s just the part that doesn’t know it is”But in no way does it diminish the holiness that holds the wholeAnd so we can re-see, re-know, and reclaimWhat has been held in shadow for generationsThe process isn’t easy or clean.But it is underway, and we are a part of it“Transformation is impolite”Things aren’t going to dance into place in pleasing ways because we ask nicelyLong-denied truths are coming up to be tended toThere is purpose and potential we don’t understand in every action in creationAnd we can align to that. Or not.But “What you damn, damns you back. What you bless, blesses you in return”Let’s bless everything, shall we?Even if we struggle with it (as you’ve been watching me do ;)“What am I to learn?” puts you in a position of humility and authority in any instance”And this willingness to learn naturally helps us to shed the old and become the newWhich makes perfect sense, as “the new comes at the cost of the old”We have to be willing to give up old ideas, beliefs, and ways of doing thingsLife is demanding that of us, isn’t it?I am profoundly grateful for this orientationAs imperfectly as I live itEvery drop of alignment to it refreshes me, heart and soulAnd makes me honor everything I encounterAnd so I touch this bead to my lips, to my head, to my heartAnd give thanks.
