Today we will try an experiment in visualization – with a slight twist: our eyes will be open. It is the illusion of separation that enables us to hold judgments about people, places, and things – the belief that there is “me” and there is “other than me”. In order to truly experience peace, not only in our own hearts, but in our world and our universe, we MUST dispel that illusion. So . . . just for today (unless it changes things so drastically that you choose to continue), whatever you look at, and especially whatever you touch, I invite you to squint, just a little bit, so that your focus diffuses, and you can visualize the very atoms of your body and that which you have encountered mingling together. Imagine that you see only the one Life of God that animates all living things – and remember that everything IS a living thing. Imagine you can feel the pulse of that person, the warmth of the sun on that tree branch, the crunch of ice beneath that tire – it is, we are, you are ONE.
If this resonates with you, you might take 15-20 minutes to sit with this idea, to try it on for size, and then go out and see what happens when you see, as God sees, a whole new world around and within you.
Love and blessings,
Rev. Dr. Sharri
