When we are ready to know deeper

Jesus is starting to truly open my heart in ways that I had always desired, but which I could not know until these past weeks.  My “church” has always been in my heart.  And while I am not religious, I am deeply spiritual.    

Having an aversion to religion, and the authoritarian structure of praise and punishment I had come to see it as, I have found myself placing limitations in my relationships with the truly beautiful beings who are referenced within this structure, even while being referenced in other spiritual practices that are not religious.  But because I was first exposed to them within the framework of a religious practice that left my heart confused and scared, I have found myself struggling to build deep and trusting relationships with them.

In my recent need to address some health concerns, and in seeking inner guidance with which to engage it, Caroline Myss’ work had met my awareness once again.  In finding a video of her sharing the story of Teresa of Avila’s life with Jesus, my heart had finally been exposed to the life of Jesus in a way that I had always wished to have known.

Caroline explained that Jesus came to the world to offer us a new way to live, with Divine and Sacred Love as the guide instead of “an eye for an eye” justice.  He offered, through living example, how to meet each moment with compassion, grace, and genuine love.  Jesus lived this as fully as able through all the experiences a human might be exposed to.  He also offered us an opportunity to realize the power of our choices.

Sitting with this for several days, my heart grew deep in appreciation that someone would come here to love us so completely and demonstrate this practice amongst the most beautiful and the most horrible of actions a human could impose upon another, which we ultimately impose upon ourselves.

That he would ultimately go the distance and allow himself to be killed, all the while living as love and compassion for those who are playing out the harm.  It reminds me of Buddha and others who have also come here to show us that the path of Love is possible and even necessary to invoke growth and to evolve a world into that which can exist and thrive beyond the survival perception.  To learn that there is more beyond the self, that it can become WE, and ultimately return to the ONE which is the whole.

I have long recoiled from the word “Sin”, seeing it as a judgment and means to invoke punishment and shame upon people.  I have long felt that we all are beloved beings, making choices as we learn and experience.  That the harm we cause is Harm, not Sin.  I am realizing that sin is just another way to reference the harm, the harm to not only one another but deeply to ourselves as well.  It is a separation of ourselves from our Beloved Creator and from the sacred within all life.  In this new understanding, I am learning to let go of my old triggers around the word Sin.

The other night, my husband went to the Friday evening mass at the church he attends, as it was the service prior to Easter ( Easter is today).  (I will share that this church is a beautiful community of souls.  I am so happy that he and they have found one another.)  He shared with me that during evening mass, everyone was given a nail to hammer into a wooden cross that had been erected for the evening’s gathering.  The nail was to hold the Sin in our life, and as each person felt so guided, they could give it to Jesus on that cross, in gratitude for His life to take our sins and allow us to grow, to heal, to choose Love once again.  To offer our life to the communion of our Divine and Holy essence.  To remember the Love that we all are. 

This broke my heart open, to have been offered such a profound and deeply loving new insight into Jesus and what this cross represents.  To know that we can take any experience into our hearts in a way that asks us to reach deeper into what we can learn, how we can grow, how we can be of service to ourselves and to one another through genuine Love and Grace. 

Wow. 

There are no words to describe what this has created in my heart.  The seed that has been planted.  The Love and Grace that have been encoded into that precious seed and the space in which it has been asked to grow.

Thank you, Beloved Jesus.  May we each and all come to truly know and live this Love and Grace. 

In deepest love and gratitude for the gift of this precious life,

Munay
