The World to Come

This morning I am laying there in bed, within that empty void where there is no dreaming and no nothing. Suddenly I hear a mans voice, "VELVETE". I lean up in the bed and say, "Yes". I looked in the direction I felt the voice was coming from. There was no fear. The feelings were even void. It was almost as if it was quite matter-of-factly. I laid back down and fell into a deep sleep.

As I laid there I gave myself all kinds of images and things to dream about and attach myself to, but I couldn't. They left as quickly as they came into my mind. Consciously I start asking myself, why is it that we always come back to this reality? How is it that I keep waking up in this world?

I realized at that moment that it was only due to the attachments established here that drew me back from once where I came. BUT, it was also my attachment from where I once came that kept me here as well. At that moment I could see how both were necessary to complete the task at hand. What is that task? Not to long for anything, not even the future; to do so projects you into the what ifs instead of the what is.

There was such peace when I felt my body decide it had had enough sleep. It bolted out of the bed, my mind followed along. I was in complete witnessing stage at that point of the game. It continued as I watched the body get dressed, almost as if it were the first time a child put on it's clothes. I realized that the body/mind does a good job picking out clothes, without my prejudice and judgment.

As I am drinking coffee this morning I shared it with the clothes on this body. I could hear laughter within my head and how the clothes cheered with excitement as the hot coffee dripped down the front of the shirt. As I looked down I noticed that I had also shared some crumbes with the clothing. I dusted myself off with a smile and wiped the coffee off the best that I could with a napkin. At that moment in time I realized that if God wants coffee on his shirt He's got coffee on His shirt.

We don't live in the time of Buddha when he experienced the enlightenment, we don't live in the time of Jesus when he experienced healing, but we do live in the time of Realizing God. I know that God is real because I LIVE. I have all the proof I need and don't need all in one package, ME. We have been giving all the teachers of the past to bring us to our own awareness of desire, suffering, surrendering and the miracle. The miracle of life, love, and light.

So as I get ready for my massage client I look in the mirror only to find there is no coffee stains on my shirt, that my hair is flowing, and my clothes look beautiful on me. I don't see if they match, or if they are too tight, or too loose, they just are beautiful.

I quickly draw my card for the day and again it's Yud. As I open my book it opened to page 81 with Yud's shadow. What this paragraph is sharing with us is that we are moving into the "World to Come," and that we need to stay grounded so as not to miss it. Because Yud moves so quickly and powerfully while bringing transformation to our lives it's important to stay real. It's asking us to feel settled in the midst of change. I feel this was a confirmation for me that change is and continues to occur within me and that I am being settled. I feel that Yud is telling me there are many more voices to come and that my awareness of the world to come is just around the corner. It's already here, I'm just awaiting its full arrival within me.

Blessings, Velvete
