Waking Up to the World Soul - Part 1 - Divine Fruits
An Awakened Heart happens when a person is awakened through compassion to an awareness of the collective beauty and suffering of the world soul. The people that compose that world soul, which is all of us, then become a part of the visionary landscape of our individual experience, therefore informing how our love manifests in the world. We are now called to a way of being that includes the lives of not just our immediate circle, but the greater circle that surrounds the whole world. This experience, contains within it the absolute bliss of connectivity, and the crushing pain of our separation from one another and from the Divine. To remain awakened to it - and receive the gifts that come from this kind of profound caring, one must act on behalf of other lives, somehow working to relieve even a small part of the suffering. The reason is not so that someone will be a good and holy person. Rather, to know what is happening in the heart of the world, and not act upon it, can cause an even greater sleep than before. The weight of the knowing causes many to become inspired to their greater life purpose! And it can also be thoroughly depressing and cause one to feel hopeless. And more likely, some combination of both, which is quite appropriate based on the circumstances. The reason is that when such important information is revealed to us, not living into that material, is not an option. When you know, you know. If we choose not to respond, we may become resentful about what appears to be the meaninglessness of our life. The blessings that accompany designing a life that brings healing to the heart of the world are immeasurable in areas of insight, access to information, personal relationships, community action, creative expression and connection to the divine fruits of life. And when one can dedicate their efforts to their life purpose - instead of spending their precious time tending the hazards that have hurt us in the first place, then greater strides towards wholeness can be made.
When one can also learn to harness the power and flow of abundance in order to ensure that they can do their work, focusing on thriving instead of just surviving, then it is truly something to celebrate! In the past, and now there have been created beliefs that indicate that ministers of heart work should give their works away for free. While that may be the call of some servants of good, it is certainly not the call of all who are doing the work of Spirit on this earth. The nature of reaping and sowing ensures that the sewer must collect the harvest in order to continue to sow the next season. Some saints may have escaped this process - but generally speaking, most of the folks we know have immediate cares that cannot be neglected in order to pursue a holy vision, and cease to worry about creating actual income. There has also been an insidious collective misunderstanding about our value as visionaries, artists-musicians-poets-healers, agents of change and servants of the Holy One. While the work is considered important, it is still marginalized by the status quo and it is constantly in question regarding how these kinds of positions are to be compensated, if at all.
May we all be awakened to the beauty, power and abundance that comes from answering our life calling! Blessed Be!
