The Cyclone of Love

Laurent Elie Levy

The last 4th of July weekend was a gift for me, as well as for many of us who attended the intensive retreat held at Pathways of Light that weekend. The foundation for the weekend’s teaching was NTI, which is a nick-name for The Holy Spirit’s Interpretation of the New Testament. Regina Dawn Akers, my partner, is the scribe of this “yellow book.” Together, we taught and shared clarity we’ve received from Holy Spirit through NTI. NTI is such a profound and loving piece of art that helps its readers awaken to the truth of who we are. It really is a joy and an honor to gather around this living book. The whole weekend was filled with amazing moments of realizations, great “Aha’s”, lots of Light, and lots of Love.

During one break, my eyes, filled with awe, met with Mary’s, which were also filled with tears of awe. We felt such gratitude for what was happening in the room. That Sunday, at the end of the teachings, I had the chance to speak with Mary and share my gratitude for the way the workshop had been divinely taken care of by Holy Spirit. While we were talking, I remembered a message that Regina received from Holy Spirit last year, which was titled “The Cyclone of Love.” In this powerful and loving message, Holy Spirit mentioned in a clear and encouraging way that which happens when two or more gather in His Name, in the name of their true purpose. I shared a few words from that message with Mary, who asked me to write an article about this ‘cyclone of love’ that we both felt that weekend. I gratefully agreed to do so… and, well, dear ones, here it is.

Regina and I joined together in purpose a little more than a year ago. Both our lives led us to meet each other (at a wonderful gathering called “Camp for Miracles”, by the way) and realize even more that what we wanted above all else was to be led in all things by the Holy Spirit, and thus, let go of all fears. This is the reason for our joining, for which I am still very grateful. Regina has been writing messages with Holy Spirit, her Right Mind, for quite some time now, and that culminated in the scribing of NTI, which took her about a year to do. When we met, the Holy Spirit gave her a series of very helpful messages intended to help us in our joined purpose. We were prompted to teach those messages as soon as we received them, so that we could truly learn them.

The particular message called “Cyclone of Love” is one where Holy Spirit asked us to be aware and grateful for what we create together when we join in purpose. Although it speaks to the two of us, the message is for all of us. Any joining in purpose has a great, great potential to awaken the mind further. Here is an excerpt from “Cyclone of Love.”

“I want you to notice the clarity the two of you are coming to together through your relationship and your conversations. Notice what you are creating because it is creation. You have spoken of the cyclone of fear and hate, and this is the cyclone you first became aware of together. But now the two of you are coming together to create another force… an opposite spinning… and this is the cyclone of love. I am giving you help, but you are taking what I have given and creating through it. Do not let your eyes not see this. For in seeing what you create… in recognizing it as creation… you extend that creation further into the mind.”

In this paragraph, Holy Spirit invites us to be grateful and aware of what we create together when we join in such a way. Let us speak a little about gratitude.

Gratitude is a very powerful force that is available to us always. Whatever we feel grateful for will expand in our mind and experience. This is a law. Many spiritual paths talk about this and call it a “manifesting tool.” And indeed, it does manifest. However, in our particular path of awakening, since we don’t know what is in our best interest, we leave the object of manifestation in the Hands of the Holy Spirit, Who knows what we need and when we need it in order to let go of ego. That is our only goal. But we can still use the power of the mind to manifest more letting go, and more trust, which is highly needed. So we use gratitude. And we are invited to be grateful for clarity, and thus have more of it. As we know, being grateful for everything is the ultimate mindset we want to cultivate. When we are grateful for everything, we do trust everything, and we do know that all is God and that all is coming to help us awaken. Gratitude brings more gratitude. Trust brings more trust.

That’s why Holy Spirit wants us to be grateful for what we create together when we join in purpose like we did for the workshop at Pathways of Light (or in any other gathering in “thy Name”). Again, what we are grateful for will naturally expand. So it is a direct invitation to remember to always feel gratitude for moments of clarity, for miracles, for “Aha’s”… those drops of Heaven that come to greet us, as I like to call them. In this way, we will just experience more of these holy moments.

Gratitude creates a spinning force: a cyclone. When Holy Spirit mentions the cyclone of fear and hate, he refers to the seeming unconscious trap that the world is in. The “sleepy Son,” Who is still grateful for his sleepiness, creates separation and extends his belief in separation in one mind. For that experience of separation to continue, He must dwell on…or be grateful for… the building block of that experience, that which makes this experience possible, which is judgment. And, as the natural result of judgment, the Son of God experiences fear and hate. We must have been constantly grateful for that loop of judgment and fear in order for us to have these experiences of separation. At some point that loop, or cyclone, must be reversed if we want to awaken to our Truth. And Holy Spirit tells us that joining with our brother and focusing our attention on this joining, by being grateful for the effects of this joining (the feelings of love, the clarity, the miracles, etc…) creates an opposite spinning force. It creates a cyclone of love that will further extend the awakening of the Mind of the One Son.

One part of this message that left me curious for awhile is what Holy Spirit meant when He said, “Notice what you are creating together, because it is creation.” And the clarity that I received was that we “recreate” Christ every time we join in this way. (Of course, Christ doesn’t need to be recreated, but I find this symbol very helpful in keeping me focused on the positive spinning force.) As I imagine it, each time we join in a holy relationship, we give birth to a “baby Christ”, a we-ness, that is the witness of our joining. This “we-ness,” or togetherness, symbolizes what we truly are. And being aware of it, being grateful for it, will actually nurture it, helping the “baby Christ” grow and grow. As I look at it this way, I realize that “we-ness” is much closer to my True Identity than this body-personality I call mine. And transferring my focus to we is a powerful way to slowly dis-identify from “me”, from “Laurent”, and identify with the joined and growing “we-ness” that Regina and I “create” together, which some have called “Ginaurent” or “Laurengina.”

Imagining in this way brings a smile to my face, but it also sparks honest realization and awareness. That “baby Christ,” which only lives through our nurturing it, is the doorway to Oneness. By focusing on our clarity and awareness of love…the cyclone of love that is symbolized by the “baby Christ”…clarity and awareness of love expands. Why not take advantage of Who we are and our ability to extend and manifest, and use it for our Holy Purpose, seemingly creating togetherness, until we all realize that oneness was there all along?

I love this idea.

So when two or more gather in “thy Name”, let us feel appreciation and awe for the True Power that is being evoked and enacted. Let us be aware and feel gratitude for what is occurring when we join together in purpose.
Here’s another excerpt from “Cyclone of Love”:

“Remember that all things are ideas…And each idea comes from a motive or source. As you look at the ideas that are created through the two of you, do you see also their source? And when you see their source, do you see what you are creating together? Take time to be grateful for this, for this is not a little thing. Much more is happening than appears to be happening on the surface. Continue in your devotion together.”

A Course in Miracles tells us that a “miracle may touch many people you have not even met, and produce undreamed of changes in situations of which you are not even aware.” (T I, 1, 45) We don’t know the effects of actions within the mind. However, being aware and grateful for the cyclone of love, which we create through joining, results in more effects of love for everyone. (i.e., light, peace, love, gratitude, clarity) It extends an awakening Light into the Mind that we all are in ways we can’t even conceive of. That gives us reason to get quite excited about joining, don’t you think?

It is through our willingness and true desire that we make the most of the holy encounters God provides for us along the way. When we remember what we want the most, which is re-identifying with “we-ness” and its peace, instead of sticking to the “me” and its fears, we can easily choose again and keep our attention focused on the Love that we create together.

This 4th of July weekend at Pathways of Light was filled with these great moments for us all. I felt so very blessed to be a part of it, as well as a happy witness of this cyclone of Love. And let me use this opportunity to thank you so dearly, Mary and Robert, for making all this, and so much more, possible. Remember the words of Spirit: “…this is not a little thing.”
