Time

29 Aug

What is time?  Who decided the hours, minutes and seconds in what we call a day?  Can it be found in Scripture, this thing we call time; as we have determined today in what we call modern society, or even as it was in generations past?

The Bible/Torah tells us that to YHWH a day is as a thousand years.  We are also told that He created the universe in 6 days and rested on the 7th day.  If we take the two, a day being a thousand years, then Creation took 6000 years and YHWH rested for 1000 years.  Did YHWH need to rest; was He exhausted, for that is certainly why I seek to rest; because I am tired and worn out from doing something and I need to rejuvenate, replenish my energy? That’s a whole other topic for discussion; back to this business of time.

Again in thinking of YHWH, I recall reading somewhere (could have been the Bible/Torah) that for Him there is no such thing as time – as we have described it as being; that because He is (simply defined, actually by Himself) I AM, then it would make sense to my reasoning mind, that to Him all simply IS; there is not yesterday or tomorrow, there is only NOW.

Much has hit the bookshelves these past several years about living in the NOW, being present in the MOMENT.  Can it be that time simply is; that there is no division, no past nor future, that all simply is and is going on simultaneously at one “time”?  I think this is a very real possibility and that if I look to my left or my right (is there even a left or right?) I will see me as a baby and turning me as a teenager and then as a young woman; get the picture?  Is it possible that my journey in various stages of growth (again, evokes another question, “What is growth?”) are happening simultaneously or even better they all co-exist at the same time; somewhat like looking at a group photograph that you’ve doctored and input various images of who you are as you change.

Time and change and evolution and growth and history; what are these?  Are they but descriptors we’ve attributed to them using language?  Is it our language that has caused the confusion?  Certainly when you label a person, i.e. you are a doctor, we somehow limit who they are, yet the description is a good thing, but can be a bad thing, because we are saying to them that the word “doctor” describes their totality.

If I remove the word “time” from my vocabulary what will remain?  Will there be a nothingness, a void, or will it remove the walls that I’ve built by the use of the word time?  I think the latter will happen, that the walls will be removed (perhaps the veil that Yahshua spoke of with one of his last living breaths) and all will simply BE, just as our Abba, YHWH, our Creator simply is I AM.

Problem is, how do you remove time from existence and what will be?  Given the direction we are currently headed in as human kind, can the results be any more devastating than what we are rapidly tumbling towards?  I somehow doubt it for if we keep going this route, there will be no human kind to even think, to be or to measure time.  Our “time” as we’ve chosen to define it, will be up; finito!

The solution, perhaps, as simple as it may sound (though for me extremely difficult and challenging – but not impossible – to employ) is to live in the moment I am in, considering and living as though it is my totality of time.

Ask yourself this question, as I now ask myself, “If this moment was the totality of your time, would you be doing, thinking, saying or being what you are now doing, thinking, saying or being?”  Then (for me) I need to get up off this chair, away from this computer and get out there a live the treasure of time, the moment, the now!

Many Mansions – The Heart

28 Aug

When Yahshua was leaving his disciples he told them he was going to the Father, that he would be preparing a room for each in his Father’s house, for there were many mansions.

Yahshua told the disciples and the people of the day that the kingdom of heaven is within, that he and the Father were one and that just as he and the Father were one, so we would be One with them – thus no longer a them but an us.

Yahshua told the peoples to go into the closet, shut the door and pray – without saying it, my reading between the lines…the closets of each of their hearts (you and me).

For me, all of these words came together this morning (Aug 28, 2010) in my meditation time.  They are pieces of a puzzle for me, and possibly for you.  I’ve been going through some housecleaning (again another word comes to mind, again the word to clean the inside of the cup) and in the course of these past several weeks, possibly even months for it all blends, I’ve been in the closet of my heart and have actually undergone physical symptoms, but a week ago, of something being ripped out of my chest; it felt like I was having a heart attack…and it hurt; it hurt like hell.  Perhaps the physical pain was the symptom of the seeds of hell, anger, jealousy and divisiveness being ripped out of me, from the very roots.  It sure felt like that and if I think about the pain I can, even now, feel it!

So, back to my message this morning – you know one of those “Ah ha!” moments when the light bulb comes on, and the answer, the solution is so darn simple you wonder and might even speak out loud, “Now why in heaven’s name didn’t I realize that long ago?”

We are – hear me – we are, first of all Spirit.  We are made in His Image. We are a part of Him, just as Yahshua is a part of Him.  The Father is not divided, and if He can be given physical attributes, He has one Heart. His Heart’s desire is that none be lost.  The mansion, the room prepared for each and every one of us, is in fact in us, because we are in Him.

Guess what folks – just as I saw this morning – I am one of His many mansions.  He is residing in My Heart, in Me.  The room of me is being made ready, cleaned out if you will, for His Holy Presence for where He is, evil and all those nasty things cannot reside.  Perhaps, just perhaps the great physical pain I felt was because of His Awesome presence, the pending approach of His Presence to my Mansion when evil and all that is unholy, knew He approached…and like the spirit drove the pigs over the cliff, the evil fled from His Pending approach; He didn’t even have to arrive.  The greatest physical pain I felt at the height of it all was perhaps when He first stepped into the soil of my heart and the evil fled that had me captured, a prisoner of doubt and all that does not belong to and is not of Him who created me in His image.

Just perhaps, you and I, His mansions, are being prepared for an awesome indwelling.

In closing let me tell you that it was only yesterday I realized the front door of my heart was ripped wide open, to remain open, for the easy coming and going of Love.  When I first got this vision of someone taking my heart by their heat, fingers reaching into the centre and ripping the outside casing to each side…I thought it was that I might be cleaned out, and then the skin, if you will, would heal and close the open wound.  Yesterday I was told it would never again be shut.  There is still work to be done, for at some point soon, the heart of my mansion will have no walls at all – open for love to freely flow.  There will be no distinctive walls in fact to say that it is my mansion – it will simply be a mansion of love.  Ours – you know, Abba, Yahshua, the high priests and priestesses, kings and queens…reigning – One Heart, One Mansion.

In closing I share a simple phrase, a Truth, that has been singing (ringing, speaking) in my head most of this past week, even upon arising in the morning, and that is, Love hurts (but),Love Heals.  You see, I’ve spent most of my life running away from love, because I couldn’t stand the pain.  An extra sensitive and sensory person who seems to absorb the pain of others, I’ve spent my life avoiding feeling because I felt it was just too much to bear.

Then He showed me, had me know that I know, Child, love hurts (but in doing so) it heals.

Who Will Rise Above

16 Aug

Definitely intuitive by nature it’s been a struggle for me to give in and accept the core essence of my makeup and to begin to live what I am; self-denial trashed, the doors and windows wide open.

My language of choice, every word needs to be carefully weighed before being expressed.  Even before that, what I feed my soul, my mind and what gets planted in the soil of my heart, the ever tended garden of my heart, needs more attention even before the words get written or spoken.

Stop trying to figure out the outcome or the answers.  Write the words and the pages will unfold.

Who will rise above what is going on in the world?  We here in North America call it a major financial crisis, whereas other parts of the world might see it as a sneeze or hiccup in their economy, having lived in situations and scenarios a hundred times worse than what currently exists in North America.  It sort of reminds me of the incident I’ll never live down with my siblings; the one where we folks here in Toronto called in the army when we had a bit too much snow!

I liken this economic thing to that; how other countries must be laughing at what we deem to be an horrible, unbearable and unrealistic expectation of “Oh my god, how are we going to survive; how shall we ever get along?”  Get along?  Get along, without what; the 2nd or 3rd car, the house with the 4 empty bedrooms for “just in case” visitors who never come?  A matter of perspective I suppose.

Who will rise above, who will overcome?  I’ve often written as of late that the great hay day of North America is over, finished, complete, caputz!  The “material girl” is in a whirl and the winds of time are blasting it into outer space, washing and stripping away the glitter that was not after all gold.  We trashed our spiritual foundation; our Spiritual ancestors, rolling over in their graves, perhaps speaking from them…are they, are the Spirits angered, disappointed?  Do they care; are they even aware?  These are philosophical (and for some nonsensical) questions that only the individual can answer.

A voracious reader, with several volumes on the go at any given time, I recently read as regards “American influence in the world,” words confirming my own thoughts…thoughts are energy fields, they are connected, so I have no doubt the thoughts do not belong to me alone, and in fact definitely one other person thought the same thing and wrote about it before I thought it.  The person wrote,

“American influence in the world will decrease over the next decade.  This is due to economic and political reasons, and during this time other countries will step forward, but in the short term, American influence will be very strong in the world, even as there is a decline in economic power and influence.  What will emerge in the next decade, …. those countries that turn their attention and emphasis on the personal individual, on the true taking care of the environment and the natural resources – those countries that are “wise stewards” – will prosper, and those that are not will experience difficulties.”

Well folks.  Those words were published the beginning of 2009 in the book The Great Shift.  The research and writing for the book was commenced in 2007, so very possibly those thoughts came to the authors mind in 2007 or earlier.  Well here we are in the latter half of 2010, and what has been written has indeed unfolded like the pages of a book.

Do you want to know who will rise above?  Well according to the author of the book I quoted, and according to me and my beliefs and what I think matters most to the Creator, to God, to YHWH, if you can find the country, the nation that puts people, humanity, earth, nature first – they shall survive!  That will be the place to be in the coming days, months and years.

Is it too late for North America, for the USA or even Canada?  Only God knows the answer.  Is it too late for the individual living in those countries; should we all jumb ship?  No, I don’t believe it is for my Creator, my God is indeed a very one-on-one and personal God who knows every hair on my head and who is the creator, sustainer and protector of those whom He loves, whom He has called and chosen according to His Holy purpose.  Definitely not; do not jump ship unless directed to do so.  It will be clear.

The energy of light is needed where there is darkness.  If we all jumped ship, who would be the light to show the way.  But there are many lights, and if we all join as one we can become a beacon of light for a nation in darkness that doesn’t even know it is in darkness.

Who will rise above?  Only s/he who knows their true essence – is not material but spiritual and they shed the inhibitor and join as One in the healing and return to humanity and the true treasures – you and me.
