Bridging The Divide

Israel impressionen by Claudia Henzler

Since the recent events between Israel in the Gaza strip occured, I’m receiving several emails calling to boycott or to sign petitions to support one side or another.

I feel very sad that even people who believe and work for Peace are falling in the trap of a dual approach of these events. If we wish to live our life mission consciously and by extension achieve a United society, it is fundamental for all of us to see beyond duality and not to nourish egregores* of division, but to focus on Peace and Brotherhood only.

The manipulation of the media is very prejudicial in this process; instead of showing the demonstrations for peace around the world and insisting on that, it is much more “juicy” and spectacular (and of course more lucrative) to show the despair or the anger of people. It belongs to us, the audience, to make the choice to give credit to this system or not.

During the war in Lebanon, every day we would see image of hatred on TV but we would never be shown the Christians and the Muslims supporting each other by offering food to a hungry neighbor or a friend. The civilians are always the hostages of political divisions and financial interests.

I’m also lucky to travel around the world and to see with my own eyes that in countries like Israel, Iran, Turkey or in Lebanon people live together in harmony and respect the religious celebrations of the others. This is also particularly obvious in India where many religions are represented and co-exist in Peace.   

Our choice should be to remain perfectly centered most of all during crisis and feel compassionate for each being involved in this situation, whatever his/her religion can be. What would be the value of a choice made by/with Love if there was not a different choice possible? This is the only role of duality; testing if our values and acts are perfectly synchronized and if we’re guided by Love only.

 It is a highly initiatory experience for workers of Light to remain focused on Peace and to spread words of tolerance and Unity right now. As we’re entering the Era of the Aquarius, let’s all have FAITH in the capability for humanity to live all together in harmony.

Hashem Ehad**,

Allah wahad**,

God, Life, the Cosmic energy, whatever the name you give to this Universal power and whether you believe in it or not, we’re all part of the same unique Force…

*Egregore: Active magnetic field with a specific attribute which is nourished and nourishes the same attribute (ex: angry people nourish the egregore of anger and are themselves nourished by the same energetic field that they attract over again in a vicious circle. Same with egregores of Love, Compassion, Peace which create virtuous circles in our life and for the entire Universe)

Un Peu de Gay-té Dans Les Coeurs…

Mardi 18 Mai 2010,

Il est rare que je prenne la plume, ou plutôt le clavier, pour m’insurger…mais devant le spectacle affligeant auquel j’ai assister ce soir devant la cathédrale Saint Jean à Lyon encerclée par une vingtaine de camions de CRS , comment faire autrement ?

C’est la semaine de la lutte contre l’homophobie en France ; eh oui, il faut encore des « journées dédicacées » pour que la tolérance se rappelle au bon souvenir de tous et puisse émerger. Sur la place Saint Jean, plusieurs centaines de personnes manifestent ce soir pour le droit à la tolérance et à l’égalité quant au choix de leur sexualité. Face à elles, sur le parvis, je suis choquée de voir des représentants de l’extrême droite et des prêtres de la cathédrale, se mettre à genoux pour prier et brandir la Sainte Croix comme s’ils avaient affaire à des vampires qu’il leur faut à tout prix chasser, ou encore à des possédés qu’il faudrait exorciser… On se croirait revenu au temps de l’inquisition, il ne manque plus que les bûchers…

Il semble que l’église ai bel et bien perdu sa divinité. Il est loin le message d’amour et de tolérance prêché par Jésus il y a plus de 2000 ans ; lui n’aurait guère apprécié cette chasse aux sorcières des temps modernes…  « Aimez-vous les uns les autres »: plus de 2000 ans de «programmation» à répéter le même message sans que celui-ci puissent trouver un écho dans les têtes et dans les cœurs de certains religieux. Jésus-Sananda, Issah, Yeshouah, peu importe le nom qu’on lui donne,  reste sans conteste le prophète de l’Amour Inconditionnel qui accueille chacun d’entre nous sous son aile sans distinction de race ou de religion, encore moins de pratiques sexuelles (est-il encore nécessaire de rappeler comment il protégea Marie-Madeleine, prostituée de son état, contre le jugement et la lapidation?). Heureusement, nombreux sont aussi les prêtres qui dans l’anonymat de leur paroisse ou de leur congrégation sont les portes-paroles d’une religion ou aucune brebis n’est jugée comme égarée.

 Peut être  faudrait il rafraîchir la mémoire du clergé afin qu’il ne voit pas seulement la paille dans l’œil de ses voisins alors que la poutre est énorme dans le sien. Il est grand temps que l’église fasse face aux millions de prêtres homosexuels tiraillés entre leur amour de Dieu et leur amour des hommes, pourquoi devoir choisir lorsque l’on est un ambassadeur de l’Unité ? La question renvoie à nouveau à celle non résolue du mariage des prêtres, rares religieux à ne pas pouvoir se marier contrairement aux représentants des principales religions monothéistes.  Mais surtout l’urgence est qu’elle fasse le ménage en ce qui concerne les nombreux pédophiles qui peuplent son propre clergé avant de prétendre être la détentrice d’une sacro sainte morale dont elle se veut l’unique ambassadrice.

Cette institution poussiéreuse creuse rapidement et surement sa propre tombe;  approcherait-on des temps ou celle-ci est amenée à disparaitra comme l’annonce de nombreuses prophéties à travers les siècles? Alors peut être que de « l’autre côté », les Anges qui comme tout le monde le sait, n’ont pas de sexe mais sont porteurs de la combinaison des énergies Yin et Yang unifiées, pourraient se réjouir de voir disparaitre les gays pride de la surface d’une Terre qui aurait transcendée sa dualité, ou chacun respecterai la liberté de ces semblables et leur droit de tout simplement EXISTER.

Crisis, Fear and Transformation…

 

No doubt that in the current economical context, many people are in panic around the world because of huge losses on the stock exchanges of the planet. Except a pinch of conscious business leaders, how many of them are considering this crisis with a spiritual approach, realising how predictable was the transformation we’re going through and, beyond economical issues, how global it is?

Yet, for centuries, esoteric systems referred to some huge opening of consciousness after the millenium, lets’ see how incontrovertible is this profound change and how to participate to it individually and consciously.

 

According to the belief of the Mayan civilization, the world is organized upon a cyclic system: many centuries BC, the Maya calendar predicted the end of a cycle of 26 000 years in 2012 and the starting over a new one.

 

The book of the Apocalypse, refers to a chaos that St John calls “The Judgement day “ that will occur during “the End of the times”. This doesn’t mean the end of our planet because of our “sins” like Church wanted people to believe for centuries but, the original meaning of the word, a time for “Revelation”: time for people to transform the way they think, they behave and reveal their inner truth to live in a conscious way.

 

It’s been 5000 years that Sciences like Chinese medicine and Ayurveda are promoting a hollistic  approach of human beings: we’re not just flesh and blood that can be opened, cut and sewed like rag dolls…but energetic systems to be considered globally: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual beings.

 Recently, the research in Quantic physics and the string theory are tending to proof the global nature of our “system”, including an energetic approach of our reality.

 

In  the 19^th century, Jung and the concept of collective unconscious was a revolution in the approach of ourselves as individual beings, showing how bounded we all are.

Compassionate thoughts are prayers toward the others and would, by a “boomerang effect” come back to us the way we threw them. Such as embezzlements… isn’t it M. Madoff ?

Like is like, the law of attraction was already known through the famous “Do onto others as you would wish them do onto you“, our economy is paying the price of feckless decisions based only on profit margin…

 

To bring back balance in our life, it’s becoming urgent to live in Harmony: within ourselves, with the others and with the Universe, by adding some more common sense and ethic in our economics, politics, environmental issues …Integrity and respect have to be applied in our everyday life, both personal and professional, and not just be abstract, political correct concepts.

 

According to esoteric systems, we’ve now entered The Era of the Aquarius that is not, like some people may think, the confabulation of a group of hippies of the 70’s, but a challenging period of time for Humanity that gives us the opportunity to live this famous New Age predicted since centuries in many civilizations, beyond one religion or belief, through inner transformation… 

 

Transformation within ourselves, to go to a higher level of consciousness, transforming old patterns, lead unto gold, sounds like an alchemical process to reach a certain Holly quest…

 

There are many tools to help us to operate this transformation. Some traditional ones like yoga, meditation and mantras help us to connect our higher self giving us a conscious awareness of what we’re living “here and now”. Other ones more contemporary give us the opportunity to face the shadow within us like psychology. Our ego builds a balance, a public character that plays a role in society, but in the back of this pseudo identity, it’s important to find out how much our reactions are conditioned by our fears and old patterns in order to operate changes and stop to live the same experiences over again, very often in pain and suffering…

 

 As we’re all bounded, we attract what we are through the law of attraction. We can represent this unity by similarity with a diamond, a unique gem with many different facets: each one of them representing one person…If we apply that metaphor to our interpersonal experiences, in a very honest way, we can see how each person around us represents a part of our personality with both positives points and flaws.

Very often, the characteristic of the person is shown to us in a exaggerate way in other to wake us up and oblige us to see what’s wrong within us!

This perspective really give us an interesting stand back that helps to “in-vestigate”: “what part of my personality is attracting that person/attribute/lack/experience…?”

Mirror, mirror on the wall… the other then becomes the reflection of our real “me”, free from the mask of our ego…

When we start to be aware of the transformation we have to proceed within ourselves, it becomes an everyday challenge! 

 

“A lot of chaos is needed to create a butterfly”, thus spoke Zarathustra, we’re in the middle of the chaos, creating the butterfly depends on all of us…

This period of profound change, pushes us to reorganize our entire system in the doldrums, to clean it deeply, previous to a positive period of time unprecedented. No GDP can measure what’s really worth living in life…  

Today, I heard the speech of a politician asking for some more “moral capitalism”, “Be the change that you want to see around you” said the Mahatma Gandhi, let’s face the mirror and go for this challenging Armaggedon.
