Pause and Comments

Dear Ones,
I am taking a break between this current message and the next posting for a period of time. This is a time in which you can still send comments, however, about your 'New Light Body' experiences or about the things that inspire you. Your thoughts and experiences are most welcome. Blessings - Julie Redstone

More About 'Pinwheels'

'Pinwheels' refers to a way of thinking that revolves around the embodied self and its problems, anxieties, and worries, without awareness of the larger context of life within a spiritual/physical landscape. See: How Big Is Your World?

The flow of light is coming to the Earth with increasing degrees of intensity. This vibration is affecting your consciousness as well as everyone else's. What do you notice in the life around you? What do you notice as you listen to your own heart?

You may not immediately see a difference in your environment, especially if people are tightly fixed in roles. However, if you risk extending more love in a direction where it may not be expected, given past history and the role relations involved, see what happens, not just to the other person, but within yourself as well. Blessings.

How Big is Your World?

We are in a time of transition, beloveds, between thinking that we must take care of everything ourselves (including taking care of our loved ones), and knowing that we are upheld by a vast Universe of love that can support us through inner and outer guidance and love when we turn to it.

The old way is the way of 'pinwheels' - each person spinning on their own axis, feeling aware only of their individual circumstances, their individual sphere of consciousness and interaction. The 'pinwheel' mentality has been with us for a very long time.

The alternative to 'pinwheels' is the Earth itself, and beyond that, the galaxy, and beyond that, the Universes of Creation. Beyond 'pinwheels' is the flow of a vast interactive
Consciousness which we play a part in and which moves and acts through us. This Divine Consciouisness is creating at all times, and our life becomes freer and vaster as we learn to become part of it.

What is the alternative to 'pinwheels'? It is to become part of the flow of all-that-is, a citizen of the Universe. Blessings.

Inspiration comes in small and large ways

On January 30th I wrote about inspiration and since then received this picture and message. It is a small library created by a beautiful soul for the children in her neighborhood who have no money to buy books of their own. She writes: "It was such a joyful experience watching the boys choose their books and writing in the checkout book." J. - New Orleans

This inspires me to invite those of you who have something of your own inspiration to share to send it here as well. Let it be a story about something you felt inspired to do or something you felt inspired by. (The length needs to be appropriate to this format.) Inspiration inspires, beloved ones!

Out of Necessity, Invention - Conversion of skin cells into brain neurons

From "Nature" magazine - Jan. 27th, 2010:

A remarkable study at Stanford University received very little notice in the media, yet the implications for this study are potentially vast. Being able to convert skin cells into brain neurons not only has potential for addressing the various degenerative diseases that affect the brain, but also intercepts the long-standing and very painful debate between those favoring stem cell research in order to cure such disease, and those countering on moral grounds that stem-cells, generally harvested from embryos in early stages of development, should not be used for this purpose.

The study, according to one reporter, would be "a landmark study" if it was applicable not only to mice but to humans. However, results, even now, have accomplished in the field of Regenerative Medicine what scientists have been trying to accomplish for years. (See: Mouse skin cells turned into brain neurons).

Those who gather their news from either radio, television, or internet news outlets (which is almost everyone) need to question why inspirational developments such as this are not given more space and time, while those that feed the appetite for violence, scandal, or deception become a steady diet.

We need, as a society, to be inspired by inspiration in whatever field it occurs. To know that at times of need, human diligence, creativity, and inspiration can come up with something totally new.

State of the Union

President Obama delivered his State of the Union address two days ago, seeking unity and pursuing unity, but the actual presence of 'Union' existed more in the moving ritual with which the State of the Union address takes place, then in all the responses made during the address or comments made after it.

What this country is sadly lacking at the present time is a sense of Union. Everywhere you look and listen, one hears division and conflict. Mistrust and cynicism. We know that this is not all there is within the human heart. There is also a desire to cooperate, to share, to make sacrifice on behalf of the whole. Nevertheless, such 'Union' was not visible following the address nor in the days afterward.

There is such a thing as Divine trust which is not naivete, nor foolishness, nor a misguided appraisal of the motives of others. Indeed, such Divine trust pierces through the selfishness and self-interest of others to see the core element that fuels it which is fear. Fear creates self-protection and self-protection creates a 'me' against 'them' attitude. Divine trust, by contrast, holds that those who have differences that appear irreconcilable on the surface, can come to a place of accord if they could recognize the fear that drives them and believe that concordance or a harmonization of interests is possible upon moving to a deeper level of engagement.

Within the Divine wholeness that exists at any moment in time, it is possible to find greater harmony if one can move past the place of fear and recognize that all points of view exist within a greater Unity that contains them all. This is the time for awakening on a national and global scale, and what we as a nation must awaken to is the trust that 'Union' is possible and needed to solve the critical and pressing issues of the day.

The Law of Love

The kind of love that humanity has experienced in all its wonder and beauty is but a portion of a far greater love that is limitless, since its Source is an unending, eternal one. This love is generated from within - from the Divine part of each heart. It is not dependent on external circumstance. Its law is universal compassion, tenderness, and forgiveness. Its bestowal is upon everyone.

To reach for this quality of love is to be willing to let go of past wounds and hurts and present projections and judgments. It is to free the burdened self from all forms of prejudice with which it has been weighed down.

To make a beginning with this, leave the land of "like" and "dislike" and look for the inner beauty in each one. "Like" and "dislike" are part of the separated psyche, based on external attributes and behaviors. No one's behavior can take love away from you if you do not give it away. It is yours to keep.

Loving in this way does not mean not standing up for oneself or never saying "no", for self-love is also included in love. However standing up for oneself can be done without anger and without judgment of another. It can be done on behalf of love and on behalf of truth.

These are the steps to awakening - to follow the Law of Love.
