The Balance
of Earth... In the aftermath of fire, a small green sprout reaches for the
light of the sun, a mother wolf and her cubs hesitate, just for a moment, before
exiting the protective den of rock to move to a greener forest. A gentle rain
washes the ash down through the charred surface to fertilize the soil
beneath. Life is, yet, everywhere. In another area of Her Being, frigid cold wanes slowly as
southerly winds carry a hint of warmth. Fragile lichen attached to a crag of
stone stir ever so faintly. Elsewhere, torrid heat subsides as the setting
sun gives way to cooling effects of moonbeams and starlight, and night
creatures scurry about for their sustenance. Oh, the Earth is not out of balance. The Earth is of God and
God is not out of balance. Society is out of balance. Rainforests are
devastated, but seeds are buried in the loam for future generations.
Structures are shoddily built in fault line areas and crumble in an
earthquake, yet hope and lessons are given as a living child is dragged from
the debris. Barrier islands are stripped of vegetation to hold luxurious
ocean front homes, while the Hurricane's destruction is but a
voice..."do not deface my flesh with your greed." The air is
polluted with the fumes of exhaust because we never walk that extra few feet,
but sit in drive-thru lines burning fuel, the source of which is continually
pumped from the bowels of our Mother. Yet, that tender green sprout waits to
return it's molecule of oxygen to the breath of Goya. The created will never alter the plan of the Creator. They
will learn as they take "the ride of our lives". Yet, perhaps the
"ride" could be taken with joy if we begin to take responsibility
for the gift of our physical journey and revere the Earthly Home we were
given to experience it in. Yes, the mindset of "us versus them" is
primitive, and also, is the mindset that shows no regard for the House of
God. The Earth will respond to love as does everything else. So sow
what it is that you wish to reap. There is a myriad of little things that all
could do to facilitate the change now so that the experience can shared now.
But, it will begin, in fact has begun --- and the Earth will be Eden again
with or without this generation of humankind. Sucarha |

SOUL Soul, as master of the
Physical, is not a function or faculty, but a Light that shines through us. When
Soul shines through intellect it becomes genius. When Soul shines through will,
it becomes virtue. When Soul shines through heart, it becomes Infinite
Love. There is no wall in the Soul
where mankind, the effect, ceases, and God, the cause begins. This is the illusion.
This imaginary wall is the foundation of fear. Take away this illusion
and the Soul will burst free of limitation. There will be no need for
judgment, hate, punishment, competition, dissent, debate and all other
"evils". They will cease to exist. The Soul looks steadily
forward...try being kind to a stranger once each day, just a smile even. Forgive one
transgression of yourself and one of another. Take one minute to look at the
sky, hug a tree, fondle a plant --- Your Spirit will soar. This is the
proof.... Sucarha |

To Be Human To hurt is to be human. To
doubt is to be human. To give up is to be human. To be common can be
beautiful. To work a "blue collar" job is not only human, it is the
majority. You don't have to compete in the eyes of our Father. He loves the
simple ditch digger as much as he loves the engineer. He loves the poor as
well as the rich. These are secular values. God is not secular. God is quite
simple. The Face of God God can be in a slowly
running stream as well as in the mightiest river. God can be in a gentle
slope as well as He can be in a majestic peak. But most of all, God is the
hand that reaches out to another, free of judgment. God is the smile given to
a stranger. God is who holds open a door for an old man with a cane. He can
even be in a waitress that serves food to a customer with a smile on her face
even when her back and feet are at pain level ten! And, God needs no self-satisfaction,
cerebral pride, or image. God is what God is. Period. I just happen to find
Him in a flower.. Sucarha |

Beyond Human Image My conception of God/Creator
is that the only force is unconditional love, experience and, hopefully,
growth. Because we humans often refer
to the Creator as "Father", we tend to project a "parent" role to the Almighty. Rules, regulation, reward and punishment. We "personify" God into our ideas
of a Parent. We have God sitting on a
throne with a big stick in one hand, and a book of life in the other --- just
judging actions. There is a big
difference in the words "judgment" and "justice". The Creator is Justice. I do not believe the Creator
ever feels anger or disappointment; to do so would be to doubt the Creation. There are Natural Laws within the Creation
that suffice to offer reward and punishment. The Law of Cause and Effect. God has no need to punish, we will suffer the consequences of
bad choices. God has no need to
reward either, we will have that as consequence to good choices. God has no need to feel disappointment, for
the Creation and The Laws are perfect. I would imagine that the Creator only chooses to know "positive
reaction" --- Love, forgiveness, patience --- especially patience --- the
Truth and the Plan are "set in stone". Negativity is a
"human" trait born out of fear and doubt. Unfortunately, this is a learned trait, not one minute part of
Creation is depraved; that is, a learned human fear, and usually taught --- how sad. Strangely, in my weird way of
thinking, I sometimes think certain animals are more evolved than certain
people --- they judge not, and only fear man. Why only man? We, as humans, project The Creator to be a
"man" --- To me, The Creator is Spirit, Natural Law, and Love. Sucarha |
