What is real? (Love)

Well, dear friend, another night has gone by – 33 to be semi-exact – since our new baby was born.

Our new daughter Juniper (born on Blue Overtone Eagle) is doing well, and is certainly a bright light. Her brother, Aidan, has proven to be remarkably sensitive to her, even as he navigates the rapidly transforming landscape of his reality, both inner and outer.

Obviously raising children is not easy. Few activities or paths will confront with you with such unbridled reflections of your own unconscious. And even though I have so many doubts, concerns and frustrations related to being a parent in this sometimes oh so crazy world, while feeling totally unprepared and all levels – just being with my children brings forth some of the most powerful reminders.

Over the last week or so, as we approached this White Dog Wavespell of Love in the 13 Moon Calendar, I had been reflecting upon Love. Love of all things to be more specific.

I realize I’ve written a lot about “Well, of course we’re all one! Obviously we’re all interconnected and interdependent. But of course! we are rapidly becoming one global community because, after all, we’re really just One.” Or “surely” we all feel compassion for the suffering of every being, no matter who they might be. Notice a theme?

I did. I was taking for granted that everyone felt the same way I do.

Well, I want to get real here. Many of us, perhaps even you, can’t really fathom loving someone who is undoubtedly an enemy. There are any number of sources which can quickly confirm and justify your feelings of anything but Love for some people or groups. And I don’t mean to condemn that – in fact, to paraphrase Marshall Rosenberg, if feelings are alive in you, it’s communicating some need that you have. So whatever we feel is important and worthy of our consideration.

Tonight, around the time I helped my wife and partner-in-Love to change a singularly formidable diaper for Juniper; And after an evening of navigating the Master’s labyrinth of How-To-Teach-Justice-And-Compassion-To-The-Future-Holders with Aidan – these words came to me:

LOVE IS THE ONLY THING THAT IS REAL.

For me, the logic holds up. All we experience is a passing (and precious) dream, but what lasts and binds it all together is Love. Every moment invites us: What does Love do when it comes through YOU?

If you’re reading this you may very well be aware of, for example, the Rainbow Bridge Meditation. Or the Whole Earth Meditation. These meditations go hand in hand with use of the 13 Moon Calendar. In fact, the compassionate embrace of all life cultivated and explored by these meditations could be said to be the engine which makes the magic of the 13 Moon Calendar work at all.

I invite you to study these meditations at www.lawoftime.org/meditations

You will notice a theme: Our interconnectedness. The fact that the Earth embraces ALL no matter who they are, giving freely of Her resources, in endless acts of selflessness for Her children. That the Timeship Earth spins harmoniously and in perfect harmony to allow for such perfect conditions for His crew (i.e. all the life on Earth).

The Rainbow Bridge Meditation is synchronized to the “Silio” day on the 13 Moon Calendar. This is always the seventh day of the 13 Moon Calendar week (Days 7, 14, 21 and 28 of every Moon). During this Year of the Red Cosmic Moon, it will always be on the day “Wednesday” of the Gregorian calendar.

But, you can do the meditation any time you feel inspired to, and the more you do it the better I say!

The same goes for the Whole Earth Meditation, the Noosphere Meditation and Natural Mind Meditation. These simple practices are profoundly transformative when engaged with an innocent, curious and determined spirit.

The first thing you’ll see on the Meditations page is the Prayer of the Seven Galactic Directions. I find this to be a most beautiful invocation of the directions, deeply moving, mind-opening and heart-opening. Want to take your next potluck to a cosmic level? Try starting with this prayer 😁

I hope you’ll take the time to engage some of these practices in this Year of the Red Cosmic Moon. You’ll supercharge your experience of the 13 Moon Calendar as a cosmic and sacred path to the essence. And, bonus! I’m sure you’ll gain new insight on your heart’s needs!
