A Journey of Clarity and Connection
In our everyday lives, amidst the hustle and the tangible, physical elements that surround us, there exists something infinitely more profound and less visible — the vibrant, humming energy that interlaces the very fabric of the universe. This unseen force connects us all, whispering secrets of the cosmos into the ears of those who choose to listen.
The Subtle Realm Beyond the Physical
It is in the quiet moments, when the clamor of life fades into the background that many of us sense there is something more. We feel the underlying energy, a pulse that connects every living being to each other and to the universe at large. The ancient sages spoke of this invisible ether, and today’s spiritual leaders echo the same truth. Eckhart Tolle, the German-born spiritual teacher, beautifully articulates this sentiment when he says, “You are not in the universe; you are the universe, an intrinsic part of it. Ultimately, you are not a person, but a focal point where the universe is becoming conscious of itself.”
Clearing Our Channels: Sage, Meditation, Water
To truly tune into this cosmic dialogue, our channels — our bodies, minds, and spirits — must be clear and pure of the emotional and physical toxicity this world creates. There is an art to cleansing our energy and opening up our ability to communicate with the divine. Although each individual may create their own ritual for this sacred practice, throughout history there is a common thread of using elemental tools such as sage, meditation, and water.
Sage, in this sense, a sacred herb, has been used for centuries to clear spaces of negative energy and to cleanse the aura, allowing the whispers of the universe to be heard without interference.
Meditation, the practice of focusing or clearing the mind, is our direct line to the universe. It transcends the noise of the physical world, providing clarity and peace. In meditation, we find a profound depth of connection, a sense of oneness with the energy that binds us. It is often said that prayer is a means of asking a question, while meditation is the tool to which the universe responds.
Water, a symbol of wisdom, fluid and pure, is akin to the flow of energy within and all around us. It reminds us to move with grace, to cleanse regularly, and to nurture our inner wells of spirituality.
The Power of Personal Experience
There are moments in life that defy explanation, times when the universe speaks directly to our hearts. I remember vividly a day filled with a profound sense of connection and communication from beyond. In honoring the memory of my sons who had passed into the next realm, a song that held deep personal significance to my family, “When You Say Nothing at All” by Alison Kraus, unexpectedly filled the heavy silence of my car. These words so rarely played on the radio, were a balm to my aching heart in a moment that needed it the most. It was a gentle, loving confirmation from my sons, Archer and Logan, that they had not disappeared into an abyss and were still with me, sharing in the love and the moment of remembrance. My soul knows this was not mere coincidence; it was a message, an affirmation of the continuous and unbreakable bond we share through the energy of the universe, through all space and all time.
Tuning into the Universe with Support from the Wise
In our quest for connection, we find guidance in the words of those who have walked this path before us. Deepak Chopra, an alternative medicine advocate and author, reminds us that “In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you.” To connect with the universal energy, we must find calm within ourselves amidst life’s incessant turmoil.
Sadhguru, with his ability to bring ancient yogic wisdom to everyday life, offers a perspective on our unity with the universe, stating, “The whole existence is a kind of energy.” He encourages us to see beyond our physical boundaries, to recognize ourselves as more than mere bodies and instead as a vital part of the cosmic energy network.
A Safe Harbor for Spiritual Seekers
To all who are on this spiritual odyssey, seeking to deepen your understanding and connection with the universe’s energy, know that you are not alone. This space, created with love and empathy, serves as a beacon for all like-minded souls everywhere. Here, we share our stories, our losses, our discoveries, and above all, our unending hope and love that propel us forward.
Our connections are not defined or limited by the physical realm but are constantly nourished and supported by the boundless energy of the universe. In recognizing and honoring this sacred connection, we open ourselves to a world of clarity, purpose, and unconditional love.
Trusting the Journey and Embracing the Unknown
Along this journey, we will face moments of uncertainty and doubt. We may question our choices, our beliefs, and even ourselves. But it is in these moments that we must trust in and surrender to the universe’s guiding energy – a force that knows no limits or boundaries.
As the 13th Century poet, Rumi wisely said, “You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean, in a drop.” Each one of us holds within us the power and wisdom of the universe. When we trust in ourselves and lean into the unknown, we remember who we are and tap into this infinite potential and discover the beauty and truth of our existence.
Embracing Love, Letting Go of Fear
As we continue on this journey, it is essential to remember that love is the guiding force of the universe. It flows through us and connects us all, transcending all physical barriers. When we release fear and embrace love, we open ourselves up to a world of endless possibilities.
To create a better existence for ourselves and our children, let us come together in this safe harbor, bound by our shared desire for deeper spiritual understanding and connection. Let us support and uplift one another, celebrating each other’s unique journey while recognizing the common thread of love that unites us all.
Let us continue on our journey with open hearts and minds, trusting in the universe’s plan for us and embracing the beauty of the unknown. May we be a beacon of light for others, shining our love out into the world and creating a ripple effect. Let us lean into love and help one another rise in love. Now and always.
