“Just sit there right now.
Don’t do a thing.
Just rest.
For your
Separation from God
Is the hardest work in the world.”
- Hafiz
The “rest” is a “stop” and all is melting into THAT.
Giving way to this melting feeling,
Falling into This Embrace
Being fully consumed by This Love, By This Fullness By that which has no boundaries.
Surrender NOW into that which has captured you.
And invite whatever arises into Your Heart
All is included in this Embrace …
This was written in India on November 2007. These words are very significant for me right now as I am nestled here in Florida. What a beautiful opportunity to just be and give way to this melting feeling and be fully consumed by this Love…by this Fullness…
So, in this “resting,” this will be the last blog for awhile.
Love always,
Elizabeth
I am with you in that place.

ReplyDeleteThis day began early with an impulse to send out a blog, which I hadn’t done for over three months now. For some reason, I was unable to get onto the blog and so I write it here …
As I woke up this morning, a dream was still very present in my mind. It was one of those lucid dreams, that at the time I knew I was dreaming and so it was very clear as I woke up.
The scene was kind of crazy, with messes everywhere. People were all kind of messed up and were leaving these messes behind them. I was going around cleaning up all of this and helping them clean up themselves. Some of them were wearing funny hair do’s and unsightly clothes and as we began to clean it all up together, a wonderful transformation began to happen. Everyone began to see their original selves and the outer layer of their appearance was washed away and a natural beauty began to emerge. Even their actions were more spontaneous and courageous.
In the final scene of the dream we were all climbing a wooden trellis and when we began to reach the top it began to crumble. We all collapsed to the ground without a scratch. At that moment we were all looking at whether to laugh or cry. We chose to laugh.
So, as I woke up (into this dream), I realized how significant and timely this dream was for me.
Over this past three months, since my last writing to you, I had realized how important it was to come to a complete stop in my life and have time to just “BE” for awhile. Through this time period, I had lots of time alone, I did some travelling into Florida and visited with a few friends and basically did whatever was coming up in the moment. There was no purpose to what I was doing, just letting everything unfold naturally.
It was a wonderful opportunity to see where I have come from and all of what has occurred in my life. The years up until now have been full and there have been so many gifts given along the way. The “cleaning up” process has been such a gift. And, there is so much appreciation for the transformation that has occurred in my life and all around me. The beautiful beings that I have travelled with, we have all awakened to our original and natural selves and have scaled the heights. I guess the final question would be, if it should all crumble, would we just laugh?
Have we seen that waking up to who-we-really-are is just the beginning? The door is open now to allow all that has not been loved to come into our Awareness and be met fully with unconditional love.
“What else was it we thought needed love?” & “People come into our lives to acquaint us with ourselves.” A.Ramana
I am so grateful for all of those who have come into my life to “acquaint” me with myself. The situations that we’ve been through, together, have brought to the surface what was “needing love.” It has all been very beneficial in so many ways. And, continues to be.
The song by the Carpenters expresses it nicely … “We’ve only just begun to live. White lace and promises … A kiss for luck and we’re on our way. We’ve only just begun.”
The “stop” has been so beneficial. Now, a new phase of this life can emerge out of this stillness. Where is Life to take me now? I will find out each step of the way…no past…no future…just this ever present moment of now…now…now…now…
A new blog will be set up soon. I will keep you posted, my dear friends. And, we can continue our Heart-to-Heart exchange. Keep up the good work!
I Love you ALL, from the bottom of my Heart,
Elizabeth

Thank you for offering this moment of peace, rest, stillness and love. With all the confusion and narrow mindedness flowing through this world we have created, it is good to be reminded that we are not part of this world, but prior to it and truely i bliss.

Thanks Elizabeth. So great to feel connected with the community of love always. I tend to step back from people and groups often and this is reminding me I'm not alone. Namaste...Christine
ReplyDeleteThanks, Elizabeth. That was a great way to express "accepting what is" and not become entangled with what we project onto what is occurring or coming up; which creates the messes we allow our mind to get us into, and then get cleaned up later only if we are aware enough to do so...Love, Ted
ReplyDeleteThanks Elizabeth. As always, your blog has hit home - no past...no future...just now, and that's enough. With Love, Peggy
ReplyDeleteYES, waking up is just the beginning. NOW...it is just living ordinary life w/ unconditional LOVE. ~jenny ngo
ReplyDeletethank you for sharing your "wake up" dream. i have been practicing yoga nidra for over a year, observing the sleep cycles, going over the edge, sensing, feeling, attuning to awareness,and waiting for that moment when i wake up! as i practice yogic sleep......and wondering if i will ever wake up,.....i have noticed that on our spiritual journey it matters not what we acquire but rather what we are able to discard. amanda
ReplyDeleteGracias Elizabeth, I was with Richard Fletcher 'sitting' with Richard Sans in Denver on Wednesday evening last. What a joy, to know I was in a place you had visited and brought your joy, it was deeply felt... as this sharing is felt. Please know, that knowing you are out there 'Being' reminds me to Be... "I" forget sometimes there is only one thing to do, 'to Be'. Thank you for being awake in your dream so you may share and through the sharing awaking me, awaken us... so all may awaken.
