MAY, 2008 TELECONFERENCE - YOUR VAST SELF

When we ask ourselves how big or vast we feel, we often find that we are hosting a small self-concept, that we feel set adrift, cut off from our source and power. In truth, it’s the subtle ways that we feel small that often contribute to the problems we may have here on earth.

I’d like to share with you my vision of you—I mean, the real truth of who you are. I see you, first and foremost, as a vast spirit—a sacred person and unique being created in the divine image, carrying divine essence in your core, and radiating infinite light in and through you.

That essence allows you to find the central truth of every situation, see its perfection, and feel total peace.  That light opens you to a multi-dimensional life that includes the following worlds and styles of creation:

•    The conscious dimension:  where the focus is on how each of us individually creates our lives, through conscious decision-making, purposeful actions and focused awareness.

•    The subconscious dimension:  where the world is experienced as a dream-like fantasy and fun myth, and where creation happens with the tools of symbols and meaningful rituals; here we play with life as a make-believe world of “what-if’s.”

•    The unconscious dimension:  where our individuality gives way to our collectivity; here, humanity steers its course as a unified entity, and all life moves and breathes us in a mystery-clad creative adventure.

•    The superconscious dimension:  where we sit above the forest of life, seeing the bigger picture, “getting” the real truth, and being at peace with whatever is. Here, we’re in the eye of every storm and celebrate the perfection of every circumstance.

The really good news is that you and I are created as vast, multidimensional beings who can navigate our way in and through all these worlds of creation, live in the gifts and unique blessings of each of them, and find our fulfillment in this expansive identity.

The invitation in this talk, then, is to say yes to your interdimensional, unlimited self ... to let go into the mysteries and magic of the many worlds of aliveness and creation that surround you ... and to lie more and more in the vastness of your created nature.

I close with the following prayer/blessing:

   May the many riches of life invite you into their treasure chest of possibilities!

   May your vast self find its sacred wings and soar into all of life’s exciting dimensions!

   May your limitless nature guide you strongly to sample life’s unending bounty!

   May you find yourself, not only in life’s small spaces, but equally in its expansive moments and vast worlds!

   May life, in all its beauty and splendor, make itself known to your heart and make itself alive within your soul!

   May you ever walk this earth with solid feet, uplifted heart, expansive mind, and soaring soul! ... and

   May you enjoy the beautiful life that lives in this moment beneath your radar, and discover the realms of yet un-tasted gifts that call you ... call you .. call you ... endlessly!
