Movement within the place of peace

Day 279

I’m not sure about meditation – is it meditation when I am in contact with You? Is it meditation when I am inspired in thought to action? Is it meditation when I am quiet, listening to my thoughts, watching them come and go, and then hearing Your voice? Maybe meditation is a walk within a presence.

And then there is the action, the behavior, that is not from or within meditation. Where does the urge for that come from? Why leave a place of inspiration, of divine movement, of exploration of all things I desire, for something that drives from within? One would think the former would be stronger than the latter, and maybe becomes in time. I believe that is the case if I can remain steadfast in my awareness of You. I have felt this pull towards manifested events, the awareness that they are leading to a wonderful place. They are not good or bad; just a signpost of where I am, a reflection of who I am.

I would think the pull of discovery would overwhelm the baser urges, the falling into my past way of walking – watching life happen, fearing outside consequences as if they are real, unaware of inside. But I also realize I am in transition from the journey of the ordinary into this new awareness, a new vista, and that my past wanderings have led me here.

And so I am grateful – for the errors of the past, the incessant heart search, the inspirations, the overcoming, all the events. They have led me here, and to You.

There are types of meditation: the one of quiet as if listening for another voice outside of your own. It is the calming of the mind and heart, to be aware of another presence – one of peace and tranquility, one of revelation, one of belonging. It is here where the urges cease for the heart has found home.

And there is another meditation: the one of journey, of action, of movement within the place of peace. The thoughts are not quiet, but the mind is open to new things, new understandings, new wisdom. The eyes see differently, possibilities are endless, the heart overwhelmed with the infinite.

It is your life to be within the two meditations – to be within the quiet, to encounter unending possibilities of realized desire. It is within each that creation occurs: the desires of heart are born and inspiration leaps within so many places that it becomes all consuming. It is within each that the hearts longs, where it enlarges to encounter all things, that it might become all things.

And it is within each where newness becomes every day – even as the sun rises on a new day so the heart rises on new possibilities for awareness. Let your heart search for this place each day and leave the past where it is. In the future the past will be revealed for what it was, for how it brought you here, and you will discover in this that there really is no past or future – that both are within the now, in Me.

Comet ZTF – Over the last 50,000 years Comet ZTF has travelled a distance of 2.8 trillion miles. Orbital computations suggest that it may never return again.

I may not see the visitor but know of its presence. And just like the scene in the sky thousands of years ago that presaged an event as no other, this may also provide a coming event that many may not see but will be impacted by forever. At least this is my sense of its presence for now.

I have this inspiration that it is a precursor to a manifested event, a harbinger of something to watch for intently. It is within my creation, and I feel its tug upon my heart and mind that I should pay attention. The star of old did the same, a message within creation of a magnificent event to happen. And even if unseen by me, as the great one of the past, it will still impact my life. The event is neutral, neither good nor bad, but is from within me, into the without, that I may see who I am.

It is a signpost of my journey.
