Spiritual reading: you are essential to the whole; incredible beauty of the Reich Chancellery

December 23

We would ask you to consider reverence again today. Not the hushed archaic version that inherently makes you less than that which you revere, but rather reverence that cannot help but include your magnificent spark and manifestation in its sphere.

There is no big practice, no real directive here. Yesterday we asked that you dive into the delights of being in form. Now, take that a step further (or step back a tiny bit) and allow yourself to ponder from time to time the incredible brilliance that has constructed your world.

Ponder from the heart, though. Don’t get lost in analysis. Get lost—even ever so briefly—in that which is beyond gratitude. Get lost in the Oneness as it enfolds and at the same time becomes the incomprehensible complexity. Get lost in the beauty of the paradox. Give yourself over to the amazement and awe that is inevitable when you really see and feel into the perfection of the reality or dream (depending on the moment, the perspective, and not mattering one whit which one you believe) you inhabit.

Above all, don’t neglect to put yourself within the glow of that amazement and awe. Without you, the world would not be as it is. Every breath, every thought, every word, every movement, every prayer you bring into this dimension is an integral part of the perfection.

You, knowing and unknowing, succeeding and failing, rising and falling, are as essential to the perfection of the whole as the sun, the sea, the loam, the bee, the mysterious dance of light and dark, the blessings of instinct, wisdom, fecundity and of course, love.

All of which you carry within yourself.

It will be very good to continue to revel in the indescribable grace and joy of the world around you. My heavens, dear ones, there is no time to waste! Do not miss out on the abundance, the extraordinary goodness that lives in every moment of consciousness. No matter what is going on around you or within you. And then, when you have found your way deep in the opened heart of your appreciation, let yourself drop further, into reverence, let yourself merge with the uncontestable rightness of all that is.

Surrender and bow to it, to yourself, to the grandeur and unstinting love that animates everything.

Just give it a shot. This might sound a little esoteric and not terribly helpful as you struggle with the challenges that most certainly exist side-by-side, within and around this truth. But we urge you to reach for your reverence because of, or in spite of, all that might push it to the side. See what happens. What do you have to lose?

We send you our profound reverence, much love and many blessings. (E. West)

 

…….The Reich Chancellery (1939)

It was finished for my 50th birthday, April 20, 1939, and architect Albert Speer deserves much credit for it, although he and I worked closely on it together.

It survived the war but the Soviets destroyed it out of spite. They just could never create beauty as we could.

Not bad, eh? You will see things twice as beautiful!

NS is human happiness!
