New Year’s Eve 2009 - 12.31.09

In 2009 we have experienced a lull, perhaps not in terms of economic crises, but in terms of acts of God. In the coming year we will bear witness to much more devastating events, but must remain detached and continue our work towards ego transcendence. This coming year for us must “involve two important advances. We must attain true authenticity” to be able to live in the True Self at all times. “And then secondly to be able to respond to these cataclysms with peace, with serenity—even with joy. And to transmit that joy. . . . we have the ability to remember that we are beings of light. That we are immaterial, incorporeal, nontemporal, nonhuman, nonlimited. And beings that dwell in the realm of the miraculous for whom this entire world is a dream that can be re-dreamed. That we are not stuck in some situation that is defined by the collective Other, or by history, or by any other force. That God is ultimate freedom and that by existing in that union with God we are free of the necessity of karmic consequences that would otherwise hold us enslaved. And to use that freedom and that power—in the service of God—in order to free not only our own self . . . but to free all beings who are lost in those false identifications that are bringing them into suffering.” Recorded on the evening of December 31, 2009.
