Brothers and sisters, I come to you to walk beside you on this path. You do not walk alone. None of us who incarnated ever walked alone. We who passed over the same well worn roads, know well the ways of the world. The ways of the world distract. The ways of the world separate. The ways of the world delude. And so we offer you a new way. The way of peace.
Brothers and sisters, you live as if at war with yourself, at war with your environment, at war with your own brothers and sisters. You are in fact at war with the world. But know that this is an internal war. It is one carried out first in your fragmented mind. It is a battle with the world of illusion. Make peace with the illusion. And so we offer you a new paradigm. The paradigm of Truth.
This Truth offers you peace. Put down the modern day slings and arrows. Turn off your phone, the news feeds and the idle prattle of chat bots. Seek presence. Seek connection to the natural world. Seek union with your brothers and sisters. Seek Oneness with All that Is. It is for you to choose the world in which you abide. The world of Love.
Brothers and sisters, I come to sit with you by the clear, calm, and serene waters. Put down your burdens. Rest. Come and rediscover the gifts of stillness. Whisper if you will, "Let this cup pass from my lips." This is the prayer I know well. It is the prayer of the road weary body. Shout if you must, "Help!" That too is a prayer. A simple supplication yet still a prayer. "Your will be done." This, my friend, is the prayer of wise Spirit. Say it often. Follow and end it always with a simple open hearted, "Thank you." And so it is.
Pray my friends. Pray often. Pray in silence. Pray in song. Pray in dance. Allow the whole of your life, every step of the journey, to be a prayer. Put down your heavy load and rest. The path you walk need not be the warrior's trail. You are free to choose differently. Choose the path of peace.
Brothers and sister, let go of the conflicts, the grievances and the hurt. Put down the crosses you've built and placed upon your back. Untie and release those you've bound to the memories of your past. It is time you free yourself from the very chains you blame on the world. Bless yourself with the healing balm of grace that you bestow upon yourself. Healed and absolved, the path before you transforms. It is the path that leads you to this sacred interior garden by the calm and serene water.
Brothers and sisters I come to walk beside you. To lessen the load you carry. To loosen the yoke you place upon yourself. I am here. Let the prayer that passes your lips feel soft and sweet. I sit beside you near the clear waters of your beautiful interior garden. Here you will find me. I reside in the cooling breezes. In the pooled waters of your blessed wellspring. I sit with you. I walk with you. I will carry you if you so desire. I am friend. I am brother and father. I am sister and mother. I am son and daughter. I am you as you are me. We've walked this path many times and shall walk it some more.
Come here and let us sit for but a moment. The world is not your battlefield. It is a light field. Put down the swords and slings and the trappings you unwittingly chained yourself to. Set yourself free and dance with me in this Field of Light. And may your song be your prayer. "All is well. And so it is. Amen". Release the song unto the wind and listen for the echo of my reply…
"Welcome home. Amen. Amen. Amen."
