Earth Day 2020
Transcript of Radio Show- What is the “what”? (April 19, 2020)
I just posted about this last night because it just happened this morning, that the Sun has moved into the sign of Taurus. And I titled that posting that I made for today, The “Spiral journey of Spirit-Life-Consciousness”. And, when going through these steps of development in our journey I wrote about “What is the what?”
So, I thought I would continue with that theme in different way, approaching it with something similar but a little different. So, let us take a look:
The way of Aries, looking at the sign of Aries, is about “I am”. It is the first step of life; it is there that you experience the wonder of being self-aware. In Aries you answer the question, “Who are you?”
But we come to Taurus, the way of Taurus says, “I am that”. It is the second step of life; it is here you experience that you are some-thing. In Taurus, you answer the question, “What are you?”
So you could see in some way that these two signs are forming in their combination or unity one of the fundamental truths of your journey in consciousness this dualistic experience of reality there is subjectivity of being aware of yourself or what we call self-awareness but there is objectivity too, as you experience yourself and everything and everyone else as being formed into bodies or vehicles of manifestation.
We see the world split into spirit and matter, but really what you will come to know (and what I like to call the greater reality) is that you will come to understand your oneness of being which is Life or the One.
Life is spirit and matter together; they are inseparable, yet they are the two fundamental aspects of life. Matter forms the lesser realms of Spirit, as Spirit forms the highest realms of Matter. The Truth is that there is but One Life. There is the One Spirit which manifest through innumerable forms from the lowest of the most sublime. Spirit is the one eternal life; and Matter is the countless vessels into which all life flows.
The great mystery is that in all these countless forms or vessels, in each atom, mineral, plant or animal, human or deva, planet and star, through all of them is contained or held is the One True Spirit. There are countless forms, but there is only one life. There is only one spirit flowing through the hierarchies of the Universe, whether those realms be divine, human, animal, or mineral.
In Taurus, you move out of the subjective realm of Aries into objective reality. In Taurus you come into the realm of earth and say, “I am that!”. Taurus is your most physical, sensuous experience of life. You open your eyes and see the beauty all around; you open your lungs and breathe in what we all share. You take another breath and you smell the flowers; you reach down and touch the earth and smile, and you give thanks to the mother of us all for this, for your life and for your body. You look up and see the stars and you watch the moon, planets and all the heavenly bodies whirling overhead and you exclaim, “Ooh, I am so happy, to be surrounded by this beauty, to be a part of this amazing, beautiful, wondrous journey; I’m so grateful to be part of Life.”
In Taurus, you experience life’s abundance and beauty; you experience the mystery and majesty of life. You are here in this wonderful place we call our Earth, and you feel and taste and touch and smell the wonders of this garden of delights, and you get to share this abundance of “Spirit that is Life” with all with whom you journey.
But what is it that makes you, you? What do you have that is yours, what gives you the value of you? Well this is the question of Taurus to you. Through the arc of your life, from infancy through youth, into adulthood and onward, your experience of you and your value or worth will rise and fall in so many ways. The enthusiasms and the physical strengths of youth will give way to what you will earn, the gravitas and wisdom, and the aches and pains of your later years. It can seem, depending upon your journey, that your best days are still ahead or far behind you, depending upon how you value you.
What you experience in Taurus is the Value of You. The mystery you seek to unveil in Taurus is how to understand what you have, to experience what you can do, and discover what you are worth. The value of you at any one time is made up of a range of factors: your physical powers, your emotional depths, your intellectual agility, and your spiritual integrity. Throughout any day, week, year of your life, these valuations of you will wax and wane. The gifts of youth may shine forth in physical strength and emotional enthusiasms; but maturity will bring both a modulation an eventual waning of these as you age. Likewise, the tempering of your emotional nature, seasoned by the growing depths of your judgment and wisdom, will lift your spirits as other faculties fade.
But the physical life and its enticements and pleasures can also bring difficulties and pain. If you become too attached to one or another gift or strength that you possess, you will find your experience of value to swing wildly up and down. When you are too attached to something within you, or something you have acquired, then you can suffer.
Wise ones know that this is because this way of relating to value and things is not “the way” to be or become what you really are you are. You are Spirit living by and through these wonderful forms or bodies that you have created for yourself. Your life (and lives) are made in these vehicles that are physical, etheric, emotional, mental, and spiritual. But they are held together and bound to one another by the spark of the Divine which is your highest Spirit-Form, your Higher Self. You are in your essence this One Spirit; you are here to grow and move beyond any one world, form, or life.
This is so, and you need to remember, that at the very heart of you, you remain as you always will be, priceless beyond all measure because you are not a human being at all. Being human is merely the form of your self-realization at this point in your journey. Truly, at your core, you are a spark of the Divine who is on a never-ending journey of the “Self-That-Is-Becoming”. You are a monad, an unfolding Spiritual Fire of Life-Spirit-Consciousness and your true worth or value will be forever beyond any finite measure.
So, no matter what you think you are worth today, or yesterday, or a thousand years from now, remember this, you have no way of comprehending the beauty and glory and worth of you. You are the “Jewel in the Lotus”, you are the kiss of the dew in the morning, and you are the glorious sunset too.
Then you will hear another reminder. The voices of the Ancient Ones will whisper in your heart, “What you know as the resplendent and immortal you, that heaven that is always within you, (for you never left it truly), this essential spark of you is your spiritual heart. And in your heart, you will feel and know that this same light of the Divine is in everything and everyone else too”.
Yes, in every speck and mote of Creation, in every atom and molecule, gas and rock, plant and creature, in the planets and the stars, all of this is Spirit-Life in evolution too. This is what we must understand in Taurus.
In your heart of hearts, in your highest vehicle of Spirit, you are a spark of the One Divine Light. Quite simply, wonderfully, and forever and ever your true measure is beyond measure. In your Higher Self, and throughout all your forms too, there is the one true light of Spirit shining through, so that filling and informing all of you is quite simply Divine Love.
Know this: the value of you is beyond question, you are quite simply Unconditional Love.
So what you will know and feel and celebrate in Taurus is that all of this Creation is Beautiful, all of this is Precious, because all of this is the One Life, and all of this is the Creation of the One, and all of this is the Love of the One for all.
Let us give thanks to the sunrise and the sunset, to the flowers and the trees, to the mountains and the oceans; yes, bow down and give thanks to it all.
Bow down to the divine within you and with all that surrounds you too.
Turn to one another, and you will see that supernal light shining there in one another.
Yes, smile and bow to one another and be filled with the wonder of this.
I am that!
Namaste.
These are the things that we need to be reminded of and hold close to our hearts and guide our steps each and every day. That is why I always say, in troubling times such as we are certainly moving through, there are truths that have been always there from the beginning to guide our steps.
If we hold to these truths and guide our steps accordingly, we will find a better way and we will become better for it. That is what a hard time is for. A crisis should not return as to where we were; it is going to be a vehicle for transformation, for a revelation and new epiphanies, and a New World that is coming.
We are making it; we are making it every single day. And we will not go back, there is no going back, but there is a brighter, better future out there that we are making day after day.
