Share the Fruits

Since I was a little girl I’ve kept in my heart a vision of a better way to live – actually it always felt more like a memory. Too young to be contemplating such things I somehow knew that one day people would discover this Truth. One day people would wake up and remember that we are not meant to live our lives by the ‘all mighty’ dollar, by what possessions we own, or any number of other things we place value on that keep us distracted from remembering the Path to Love and the One Heart.

I came in with an awareness that during my lifetime things would change.

However, I didn’t know that I would succumb to the numbing influences all around us that tell us how to live our lives, and as a result, I fell into periods of depression because I was forgetting who I was and why I was here, temporarily.

Yet, now I see that all the self and society imposed restrictions and challenges were necessary in order to rise above, touch the Heavens and bring deeper Wisdom to Earth – not just myself but all of us.

Through our pain comes passion.

Through our pain comes courage.

Through our pain comes transformation and love.

I’ve been wanting to go to the Bancroft Gem and Rock Show for the past couple of years and this year I went with Ven. Gunika Bhikkhu for our last excursion together before he departed for his month-long journey in Peru.

I was quite surprised to discover that many of the vendors didn’t even know anything about the crystals and stones they were selling.

At one booth we found a lovely clear Buddha Pagoda that the vendors were telling us was crystal. It did not feel like crystal – it felt like glass and we told them so. They couldn’t verify it, only that they were told it was crystal when they purchased it. When reduced offers were made they resisted; their final words were “We’re in business to make money.”

The feeling that this left me with was the same sad one I had as a child; this is not how we are meant to live and there is a better way. One that doesn’t require us to scratch and claw for our livelihood. One that holds the promise of peace, joy and harmony.

I don’t know where this vision I have comes from but it resides in my sacred heart. I know it’s not only feasible but necessary for the survival of humanity and we must act now.

The very good news is that we don’t have to feel like we have to change the world. All we have to do is wake-up and remember our own beautiful True Essence and that we are spiritual beings.

During our drive home together from the gem show Master Gunika asked me, “Kiernan, what do you want most in your life? What do you really want?”

I’m pretty sure he already knew the answer to this and I debated over how I would express my burning desire. In the end I said, "I want to be of service to Spirit. I don’t care about building a business anymore. I remember now these things are not important in my soul’s purpose or path.”

I want to live with Spirit guiding my every day, my every journey – first and foremost. It is who I AM.

“Ah,” he says “to be of true service to Spirit you must continue to grow yourself spiritually. Do this and share the fruits and people will benefit.”

He reminded me that to grow myself spiritually is to follow the path of what fills me with love and joy. For me, it is Spirit, always. What is it for you?

Basically, I’ve been self-taught with the help of an occasional book now and then but mostly my growth has come from my own mystical and life experiences, heart awakening’s, and through studying and understanding the fundamental principles of alchemy – the process of transformation.

I was quite drawn to Master Gunika when I met him. I could feel Spirit at work and a deeper soul calling. As the months pass and I spend time with him as my teacher and friend I am remembering True Wisdom and I feel humbled.

“The same stream of life that runs through the world runs through my veins night and day in rhythmic measure. It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth into numberless waves of flowers.” --Tagore

The fruits I am sharing with you now is that you are responsible for what today will bring in your life - so discover and live the happiness that lives within your own heart and mind, not the path of someone else’s. Do not be distracted from your joy. Do not worry about events going on in the world (unless you are called from the heart and soul level to act) because there is a Higher Purpose for everything that happens – only we cannot see if from this vantage point, but the Heavenly Realms can.

Even when things look dark and lost do not be distracted ~ everything serves the Light, even the Dark.

Know this and you will realize that you do not need to fix anything; attempting to do so will keep you going in an endless circle of problems to fix ~ and this, my Dear friends, is a distraction that will prevent you from discovering the glorious depths of love, wisdom and joy that reside in your very own Sacred Heart.

Embrace and live only your Light, your joy, this will guide you Home.

Until next time, may peace and love fill your Hearts,

Kiernan
