A morning message to friends

© 2009 Howard McQueenI wrote this to a dear friend this morning, then realized it perhaps deserves much wider circulationWhat a great rideA great ride it is (being alive). I see some big hummer waves rollin in that we can catch and ride - together. We might even get tumbled around, scratched up, but what the heck - comes with having some wild abandon fun.Just now, I see you riding bareback on this beautiful white steed, on the beach, in the light surf. You are exuding joy and there are other riders and steeds following you towards this rainbow and bright light. This light is neither sunrise or sunset, for it is a growing collective vision for the outpouring of pure spirit entering this dimension. The properties of this spirit clense the soul, detox the heart, dissolve hardened shells and enable the higher self to be increasingly present in our moment to moment mindfulness.Hey, don't take it personallyAs we become increasingly aware that most of the human turbulence need not be taken personally, we see that folks are being buffeted and buffeting themselves around and exerting a HUGE amount of energy resisting what is. We invest all this energy and urgency protecting ourself and then mentally and emotionally wall ourselves off from the "negativity", emotional vampires, shadow energies, darkness, and ...Heaven on EarthI am finding myself deeper in peace, deeper in compassion as more and more folks around me "wig out". Sometimes I get temporarily entangled, but then my fever breaks and I see with clarity that it was the tiny little "me" wanting the world to go my way, to cater to me - then the perspective shifts and I see much larger patterns that need to work themselves out, be acknowledged, shown some light, accepted, and transformed into honest acceptance. As we focus on ceasing to delude ourselves, by building an aware community of conscious colleagues, this collective perspective and encircling of healing shows us that there is a "heaven on earth". This blog I contribute to helps us share pointers to peace and clarity.This world and life is our laboratoryThis is an extremely exciting time to participate in, be part of conscious laboratories and experiments and chronicle the evolution of individuals we connect with. Hard to chronicle the whole human race, as I find most of the news channels loaded with toxic or slanted messages. I'll assume that there are awakened individuals throughout the planet doing "the work" everywhere and for me, this is heartening!Honoring spiritRaising awareness and consciousness is not for the timid, but that could be just because I have yet to master the subtle energies. What I am finding that holds true (for me) is that if I am true to my personal authenticity and the courage stemming from this inner flow, then my external relationships and events shift, become unentangled and resettle into a deeper reality and appreciation for the illusions we are all working through. As I become become more in-touch with honoring and loving the spirit inside me, I gain this capacity to extend this outwards in my relationship with others. This helps to clear out the infectious fears of the mind that want to obscure reality, deaden emotions, cause us to close down, revert back to self-destructive addictions - generally sacrifice and dampen our vitality.You Wild ThingWe really are born to be "Wild Things" and grow to be wise elders, still honoring and embracing that sense of wildness, keeping it alive and not becoming smothered in security seeking or ego aggrandizements.Wild Thing ... You make my heart singYou make everythingGroovy...You move meThe Troggs:-)Love, hugs and kissesHoward

    Kimberly,

    Great to hear you are back and I look forward to hearing about those things you have that are an integration-in-process.

    This week I decided to attend a 7-day retreat just outside Santa Fe at the Dynamic Oneness intensive http://www.michaelregan.us/, being held 25-Apr to 2-May. What I have gathered about this is living connected to perpetual mysticism. I am considering visiting Taos, Sedona and perhaps even the Grand Canyon, taking an extra five days and staying out in that geo.

    Glad to hook back up with you. I think my Wednesday afternoon or evening is wide open, so let me know if that works.

    Howard
