Walk Lightly

by Rev. Mary Gerard Lenihan, O.M.C.

I am learning the lessons of not to be afraid of this journey through fear and not to judge the path or the point on the path, where I find myself or where I perceive another to be. For it is here I need to turn to Holy Spirit for help.

Peaks and valleys and everything in between we trek in this world. Remembering to not fret over desert landscapes, for in not judging the desert I will have no regrets and it will pass. For even in what appears as the greatest darkness there is an even greater Light. For though moments of separation may appear with trap doors and boarded up windows, behind, above, beneath and all around is God’s Love. Our awareness of this Love increases as we are willing to be His vessel. God is living inside all of us.

And so here we are, traversing the valleys of darkness and the mountaintops of Joy, all for the sole purpose of learning to love one another. Let me not judge myself or another for wherever we appear to be on our path.

The Christ speaks:

No one in one’s personhood can walk the Path of Great Light. It is not possible. You of your own accord cannot walk this Path. I say to you that whom you believe yourself to be is a false belief and a savior who cannot save. Yet you mistake it to be you and think you must save yourself so that you do not die! And every step feels like death because it is a step made in seeming self-fulfillment — the ego’s greatest temptation, greatest fear, greatest accomplishment and yet greatest disappointment. For it is not the false self that is fulfilled by that which I give you, for I give you to remember your True Self.

Joy is never the end, only a beginning. We will never come to the end of our True Self.  Recently during several days of awareness with Spirit clearly present in my mind, I witnessed “my” being. There is no death. Joy is not the end of the Path. Immersion in the Totality of Peace is the beginning, and yet this too will seem to end as the ego attempts to alter points in time and space. Let it be. Being is with this too. The cycle appears to be one of Love and death and so we experience it as such, and yet it is much more. I do not believe I know all about God. I have faith, however, that God knows all about me. This is my greatest joy that I am known and we are all known. I trust this is so.

Jesus’ words, “Love one another as I have loved you” may be received as,

“Be present to one another as I am present with you.” To be present is to be aware of God’s presence. To be present to another is to be aware of God’s presence in this one. This is true forgiveness for it brings with it an awareness of our true Being. In awareness of our Being, we come to know we are known, for this awareness is the experience of being known. Experiencing being known is the experience of True Love. Such is the meaning of “be present.”

I heard Spirit speak, “Walk lightly and carry a Big Love.” ❦
