Long ago man did not have to remember. We are all now trying to remember ourselves. To remember ourselves is not easy. We need to focus, to practice and be still. Today, I will bring to you a sacred speaking gift, a key to assist you, to ease the effort of your path to re-membering.
What were you told about stones? When you picked up a stone when you were young what were you told? Were you told that stone is life and that it holds a memory of every single thing and occurrence that has happened upon planet earth?
I want to ask you - are you holding this stone or is this stone holding you? Ask yourself. I ask you to see that no matter what you know about the mystery of spirit as it resides and fires all that is of matter, that this stone is spirit manifested. That means intelligence of spirit, Heart of spirit. Notice how it takes some concentration to relate to stone. But I promise - the stone has an aching to relate to you. As do all parts of matter. You are literally holding a piece of spirit. Now what does that mean? That means that spirit is with you in a certain way. Every time you put your attention on any part of that, which is matter you can receive a gift of love from spirit. How is love expressed? Well, it gives you an idea. Is it not so when you love someone you want to give them an idea to assist them? Perhaps what you need is solace - then spirit wants to give you solace. Spirit wants to give you balance, or enthusiasm or harmony. In other words, whatever it is that your soul needs. No matter where you focus - upon a blade of grass, a crystal, a stone, an animal, a herb, spirit is there and saying “look at me”, “notice me”, for I am here as love and care and wisdom and balance and energy and creativeness and healing”. All of that and more, more words and adjectives than you can think of, spirit has. When you were children you knew that.
We must re-connect with spirit. It brings itself to us as matter; it will assist you with your re-membering. The way to remember yourself, if you remember nothing else, remember this, every thing that is matter is a key to re-connecting to all that is.
You have created everything in your world, but now we must come to re-member ourselves and put ourselves back together again. We are like puzzles with pieces all over the place, missing pieces can be put back together again. You pick up a stone, he will / she will help you find another piece.
A simple beat. To sway the body back and forth. To sing your chant quietly. These are the ways to enter the place where you can realize that Great Spirit holds you. In other words, this stone, it holds you. So we need to move into rhythm, beat and move our bodies and we have to literally take our minds off and just be upon the Earth.
Now I am going to ask you to feel, if you will allow, what this stone, as Great Spirit, could give to you as love? Know that this is just a beginning; it is like a message or a sense of something coming to you. Now hold the stone in both hands. Let yourself move back and forth and listen.
Let yourself decide what quality does this stone have that you notice, that it holds, that it can give to you. That is the first clue. Remember every part of matter brings Great Spirit's love; it expresses itself as an idea for you. It is soothing for you and like a kind of healing. This is the most important message you could ever receive. Modern man often loses connection with instinct and instinct wants to do great things. No great thing can happen through you until you reconnect with spirit. It is through matter that Great Spirit breathes into existence moment by moment. The moment Great Spirit does not breathe, the stone disappears and you and I no longer exist.
Feel the beat of your heart, listen to the beat and sway back and forth.
“Great Spirit I am listening, speak to me through this that you have created, this simple stone”. Listen!
Thoughts that move through your mind are not all useless. There is a message that is striving to make itself known. So all you need to do is just listen to each thought …………but listen ………….
If a nature spirit, like a tiny fairy or elf, lived inside this stone and you asked the elf for advice about the challenge that you are dealing with now, what do you suppose it would say? Ask the nature spirit of the stone for advice and see - what you hear. I promise you will hear it loud and clear……………….
Maybe this message will not be heard with your mind but your spirit will know it and maybe when tomorrow comes you will be quite surprised how suddenly you have an answer. Your spirit will know. You surrendered to allowing Great Spirit to speak through a piece of matter to you. Every part of it is Great Spirit - the stone. Mankind has a consciousness that is impenetrable.
Stone is not, so when you let go then there is space to notice what is being spoken to you. What is being whispered to you? What is striving to love you?
I will also say this – the stone will receive all of your misery, it cannot overwhelm a stone. No sorrow, no matter how thick and dark your rage. Stone can swallow it all - whole.
The power to hear messages from Great Spirit through objects of nature. That is what you - each of you - have come to discover today, to be re-minded. We often forget how to stay connected. So you hold a stone and it gives you the power to remember. Why? Because it is Great Spirit in matter, as matter. Pick up a feather - same thing, put yourself in water -same thing, and put yourself as close to the earth as you can. All of your consciousness as it is begins to come forth and unfold for you. What has Great Spirit given you as love, through this messenger that you hold in your hand? No matter what you do, ultimately you will remember everything. Notice what happens when you put the stone down and pick it up again. When you put the stone down, that is when the race begins in the mind. Pick the stone up and breathe deeply and let the stillness come to you. Stone is a conduit; you are in sync with the Great Magician and that is the best company to be with.
Be Blessed Always.
