Love is on the Line

Recently I received this letter from a client asking me why her love for life is leaving her.

Q. Maureen, for the past year it seems to me that the 'rules' for being in relationships and in life have changed. Nothing seems to be working for me anymore. Can you help me understand why what used to be so familiar seems a mystery to me now? —Sheila L.

Sheila, what an important and timely question. As we move deeper into the 21st century and higher into the transition in consciousness from human nature into Divine nature we are bathed in the mystery of 'what's next' for ourselves personally as well as in the future of relationships. The challenge for most is finding their footing while surrounded by 'mystery.' Most find mystery daunting, while others find it exciting. Those that are daunted by it are those needing to be in control of situations and outcomes minute to minute. Those excited by it have risen up to the notion that it is in the mystery that infinite possibilities exist. Let me explain.

Preserving mystery is an attribute of God-consciousness. Mystery is neither apparent to your senses nor obvious to your intellect. It is the fantastical journey into the realm of potential that makes boundaries dissolve and minds expand. Mystery is a path of fascination and wonder that spirals one upward, leaving the mundane and predictable behind.

You were not created to know everything. You took on your human form to have an adventure that would heal parts of your soul and, en route, to return you to your true identity—Love. This can only be accomplished in the ocean of mystery. Without embracing mystery, one cannot build trust, true courage cannot exist, and faith has no point of entry. Unfortunately, uncertainty is where most humans find their greatest discomfort. When the human mind encounters uncertainty, it rapidly seeks an answer through its limited comprehension and evaluation system. It selects its answer from a small box of potential answers and believes that it has effectively controlled uncertainty and, through the natural course of life, moves on to the next uncertainty. This sets up an ongoing matrix of limited individual control, creating separation rather than Oneness. No matter how hard you struggle to control Life, it will always be a mystery, so why fight what will always be?

Life lived gracefully within the scope of mystery or uncertainty is life expanded and opened to its fullest potential, allowing the grace and majesty of God to enter with myriad possibilities. If you know how much you have limited yourselves by seeking to escape uncertainty, you would weep at what could have been.

Mystery shapes itself without your control, and frees you from a survivalist mentality. When you are no longer tethered to survival, you will never again consent to trying to control your every turn. When you dance with mystery, you dance with Creation. Mystery is a Divine part of Life, and you are not meant to fall in its sudden breeze. Learn to live within the mystery of Life, and enjoy it, rather than being tormented by it.

Dear hearts we are in the midst of transformation in our personal and inter-personal relationships. We are dissolving our human nature in order that our Divine nature can finally take its place while we are still in human form. We are poised for re-creation. We are finally breaking free from the bondage and archaic ways in which we have played 'life' for eons of time with half-hearted attempts to grasp love (for ourselves and others) here are there. Love really is on the line.

We've gone in circles and created schisms so wide in our lives and relationships it's clearly a miracle we haven't perished in the process. Yes both lives and things are changing, leaving, transfiguring, dying off and being re-created. It is a mystery how so much can be coming and going at the same time. But, there is nothing to worry about. Let us all bless and acknowledge the ending of a time that no longer serves, and the ending of a misguided culture. By this transformation, bathed in mystery, humanity will soon experience what the poet Kabir referred to as "the sport of One Bliss." I'm in, are you?

Yes, the collective sigh is audible, but let it be a sigh of relief not of grief. The Universal clock has chimed its final wake-up call. The snooze button has been disconnected. Whether we like it or not, we are being forced to settle all accounts from all our past actions, from all, life-times, and that is a good thing, in spite of experiences. Cease grasping and embrace mystery. There is something very powerful that occurs when we wait patiently in mystery… it's called grace.
