The proclamation that we dwell in a righteous planet is for some a readily accepted concept. Acceptance that may have been birthed through personal experience on the stage of tragedy or glory, where personal revelatory awareness has entered the play of life. Awareness of something greater than the flesh and blood tent that we all live in and grander than any life style that we could imagine or are maybe accustomed. Perhaps a vision has swept you to the highest pinnacle to perceive the panorama of existence and its multi-faceted diversity and its constant singularity was the catalist that brought you to the yeilding place of acceptance. Or you may be the growing number of individuals who are waking up one morning and discovering that their 'knower' has been activated. Whatever brought you to that place whether it be side road or main thorough fare, no route of arrival is greater than any other in the universal road map. It is the destination that is the point of interest. It is the Destination that actually has no distance no travel time and no road blocks. Yet, for others to accept that this is a righteous planet that we all inter-habitat would be an assault on the very fabric of who they are and how they perceive their present reality. Realities that are forged by world view, media, personal experience and religious culture. These are all part of the melting pot of our consciousness that we are constantly processing all information that we encounter everyday that ultimately dictates our views and conclusions. The combination of all this cerebral interaction in turn determines how we structure our personal lives and how we deal with our inward 'goings ons'. It produces our personal safety net when suspended over the abyss of all our perceptions ... our reality ... which all too often is a Three Ring Circus of life that we all get to both watch and participate in at the same time. Whether we are cognitive off it or not our reality whether it is self encompassing or a life of benevolence I am persuaded that we are all being drawn to the Destination. For a nano moment of eternity I would gently urge you to put aside your safety net and inward defense mechanisms and to be brave enough to look at something that may just bring you into a liberation that all mankind thirsts for. The liberty song that resounds in the soul of every human being ... A song penned by the grand musician of all things and transcribed into the pages of our heart ... A melody that we are accepted, loved, and adored by the one who birthed us out from the Devine womb of infinite love. What a heart song, what an orchestration of all the instruments of all encompassing love. Thereby let us begin to awake to the joy that we are all principle players in this symphony of life. This 'heart song' is the axis of the thought that we are a 'Righteous Planet'. This word 'righteous' is not in most of our daily conversational diets and is more likely found in a Bronte novel than the New York Times or in an 80's film as movieslang. When understood through our religious paradigms,'righteousness' is usually thought of as being an adverb of doing good things that speaks of ones personal prowess in the arena of life and interaction to others. And through this life of obedience and self sacrifice we attain and retain 'righteousness', God's nod of approval for a life well lived and the assurance of a heavenly home. It is the saints dwelling place. Others refer it as not an act but a gift that we receive as we receive the person of Jesus into our hearts. In other religious culture it is the road to attain enlightenment, to be the Buddha within, to reach bodhi. In the western flavour of eastern thought it is individuals coming into self realization. These are all good things. This is all part of the drawing to the Destination. All part of the Devine plan that includes all mankind. The working of all these diverse arenas of life whether they are regarded as spiritual or secular are all moving towards the Destination. There is not one ahead of the other or one greater than the other it just is. All part of the Devine weave of the universe. All part of the reason that I believe in a 'Righteous Planet'. The righteousness that I speak of will fill you with hope and unending gratitude. It is the righteousness that has come not by choice, nor by personal effort, but as a (free) gift to set us free to live in peace on this planet/ universe. Righteousness is everything that is right about the Devine. It is Devine character, the center of Innermost, every Devine thought motive and intention. It is 'all'. And now this Devine Righteousness is who we are, all of mankind... again,already are, not will be. Though it seems that we are reaching for, on journey to, arriving at, the absolute is that we have always been in Destination. The Devine Paradox of Being is that I am trying to get to the place I already dwell. We are a 'righteous planet' in the mind and intention of Divine. Righteous mankind is the ultimate expression of Divine. We are 'the' ultimate masterpiece. This is true liberation. This is the beginning of personal revolution and freedom. It is the end of striving to be and just being. It is about being home. It is about love. In the coming chapters there will be inward struggle and emotional pulling. This is what must transpire to be led back home. To rise up in the morning awakened to Paradise restored. Be free. |
