The Seer

Pearl and I are taking a break over the holidays with our family in Melbourne, so there may not be any further postings on The Seer until early January. Peter’s Pearls, however, will continue without a pause.

We would like to thank again all those who have expressed in various ways throughout the year their appreciation for the blog — it was very encouraging when it was difficult to keep going.

Finally, we would like to wish you and yours the full blessing of Consciousness over the holiday season. Actually, in essence, you are the fount of all blessing YourSelf!

It’s the holiday season again with its special Christmas lights. For each of us, however, our entire life-experience has had but one purpose behind it — discovering the Light of the Eternal.

This season marks the timeless moment when immaculate awareness comes to free us from the mistaken worship of the graven images of limited light in order to recognize, what the Bible calls, “the Father of lights (the Light of Conscousness), with whom is no

variableness, neither shadow of turning.”

God’s light is enfolded within the awareness that sees Christmas lights twinkling, that watches the evening sky with starlight gleaming. In the same way that the “words” are “information,” just so is light unfolding the wisdom and knowledge of God within us.

Who is “us”? The Self-Awareness of the Infinite Eternal.

Life runs in Light because Life is that light. The searching soul that struggles to see, skirts the edges of shadows, plumbs the darkened valleys of hidden hills and measures the forms of opaqueness.

But for each of us, in each one’s time, the experience examined, the shadows searched, leads us to the Light, the Light to the Godhead. The shadows are gone, having let us see so we know we see the immeasurable allness of Light.

There is only one thing that truly matters — are you expressing love right now? Love legitimizes all. When you love, you are declaring your true nature.

The fabric of your very existence, the substance of your soul, the stuff of atoms and of the entire cosmos is love. Yes, love helps you on your human journey. Yes, love brings harmony to your relationships. But most importantly, it is when you are loving that you most beautifully express your God essence. When you love, you live as God – you live God into our world.

You don’t need to nor can you ever get love. You only need to express it. And it is not love when you give in order that you receive something you desire in return or to accumulate good karma. The reason you need to express love is that when you love, the finer energy vibration that is released is the expression of your true self. By extending love, you come to know your true self – beyond the limitation of form and more encompassing than anything you can think or imagine you are.

Love moves us. Only steps taken in love move us forward. All else is but a stationary dance. We get many opportunities, perhaps even many lifetimes to learn to love unconditionally – to express the Self that we are. We are here to learn how to love every experience, every thing, every person and every moment fully.

We cannot truly love without experiencing our Oneness. And to help us learn how to truly love, we can start by being intimate with All That Is, meaning acting on our Oneness with whatever is present – living that unity by loving whatever is, and opening our heart to its gifts.

Our Oneness is our reality. But we need to act on this reality in order to experience it. This is how we break through the illusion of separation.

Let our prayer be for Immediate Intimacy. May we be able to feel our Oneness and the reality of our love essence in every moment, with every person, every thing, every experience.

Immediate Intimacy involves embracing every person, situation, experience without the weight of our conditioned past, our personal baggage. It means setting judgments aside and relating to others without fear, without the need to be stronger or better than others or to control the encounter. It means meeting another and whatever the present moment brings without needs or limitations of any kind.

Let us be open, vulnerable, and unconditionally accepting of every part of the One Self. Let us greet everyone and everything with a willingness to love in whatever way feels highest. That is how we express our God Self on earth. It is our reason for human existence.

If we cannot greet another with authentic openness, we limit the love that can be expressed. If we cannot be intimate with the many forms of our One Self, we cannot know our many faces. Let us be open to loving the stranger with the same would have when meeting our long-lost brother, for he is our long-lost brother. Lost because we thought he was a stranger, found because we now remember our connectedness.

As Christmas approaches, and without taking any stance for or against the occasion, those who celebrate may experience Christmas and the days leading up to it as stressful. What was originally meant to be a time of stillness and peace has been made into its opposite by the human mind.

The occasion we are celebrating at Christmas is, of course, the birth of Jesus two thousand years ago. In a deeper sense, however, Christmas represents the birth of Christ within the human soul, the arising of who you are in your essence – stillness, the unconditioned, timeless dimension of consciousness.

Just as Christmas is the celebration of light arising when the darkness is greatest and the nights are longest (in the northern hemisphere), the spiritual birth in the human soul often happens at a time of great despair and suffering. This is the dark night of the soul that often comes before the spiritual awakening.

Once the awakening has happened, most people undergo a process during which the darkness within them, the unconsciousness of the ego, is seen more clearly and dispelled by the light of consciousness, the light of Presence. In other words: living in the Now dispels the darkness!

Collectively, Christmas comes to symbolize the spiritual birth on earth, the arising of a new consciousness in humanity. This is what lies at the core of all religions: the realization of enlightenment, the Christ within, or your Buddha nature. May the spirit of Christmas deepen the stillness, love, peace and joy that you are. Peace and blessings to all.

A child in Scripture class, when asked to draw a picture of the Holy Family, produced a drawing in which Mary and the baby sat on a recognisably donkeyish animal, led by Joseph.

On the ground nearby, however, was a small black blob.

“What is that?” asked the teacher.

“The flea,” answered the young artist.

“What flea, dear?” asked the puzzled teacher.

“The one the angel told Joseph to take”.

Eventually, puzzled but not liking to challenge an imaginative child, the teacher checked out her Bible. And there it was:

Matthew Ch. 2:13 “… the angel of the Lord saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt …”
