Miracles Of Recovery

“Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God" (Matthew 5:9). In contemplation some years ago, I began thinking on the “enlightened” teachers of the East and elsewhere. Initially the thought was of how I would love to grow in consciousness, to attain the level of awareness they seemingly have attained. Then, out of the stillness a question formed, “why”? It’s amazing how a three-letter word can raise the proverbial metaphysical devil.

So, I began to consider the enlightened ones and the condition of today’s world in general. What has really changed in the last 2,000+ years? Technology, general health and hygiene, transportation, better and more efficient ways of killing one another have all improved, but what of the state of our consciousness? Consider: Buddha, Jesus and other enlightened teacher’s message has been with us; in some cases thousands of years, yet we still act and think in much the same way we did during the time they lived, except now with smart phones, smart bombs, social media and big screen HDTVs. How many “enlightened” ones have there been and how many have come to sit at the feet and learn in the last 2000+ years? How has it fundamentally changed the world? An argument can be made that without their and their student’s meditations and prayers the world would be worse off than it is today, but I find that sentiment suspect, at best.

So, who are the real peacemakers? Look in the mirror. The enlightened teachers have much to offer, but it is the raising of our consciousness by daily Living on the Spiritual Basis that transforms and improves the world. Through our raised consciousness the world approaches, one day at a time, one person at a time, the tipping point when it will metaphysically slap its self on the forehead and say: “what were we thinking!” finally assuming our true place in Creation and the Universe, all mysteries revealed. So today, together, let us act, and Let there be peace, let there be love and let it begin with me.
