Dear Soul Friends,

We “forget” our perfection, our all-encompassing spiritual being.  This is a fantastic, cosmic joke; in fact, the joke is on us.  We detach a part of our consciousness from the whole, force the spiritual spark into three-dimensional garb, slip and slide into the illusion of time construed by ourselves, and negate our grandiose divine origin and all concomitant powers of manifestation.

The voluntary separation and incarnation of a part of our consciousness into the physical body is conducive to the growth of our souls, to the realization of the divine power into life forms, into manifestation.  With this separation we detach ourselves, we take leave of one dimension in order to experience another, and thus we initially experience loneliness, emptiness, insecurity, and mourning.  As long as we are determined by these feelings, we will not be capable of merging with another person to such a degree that a symbiotic relationship can emerge. 

As long as we believe we need another person (or thing, cause, organization, mission, or task) in order to become whole ourselves, we will inevitably keep getting lost in ghost towns of feelings, thoughts, and projections.  We then count on the outside world, on having forces other than our own, abilities and authorities outside ourselves, to help us survive, grow, and become fulfilled.  Thereby we give ourselves away—and end up empty-handed.

Until we experience that the whole universe exists within us, that we are always and forever connected to everything that is, both the manifest and unmanifest world, we will not be able to join the cosmic giggle and find peace in our lives.  Our fear of being alone, as a consequence of the thrust into life at conception, has led us to a tragic misconception—that we must fight to survive. 

If we succeed in awakening Universal Consciousness, we will know unequivocally that survival is the divine plan of the cosmos; energy is never lost, it simply transmutes and reshapes itself to contribute to the magnificent dance of evolution.

Great love,

Chris Griscom

We, ourselves, are the stars of evolution!
