Our Friends Circle June 16, 2013

 Our Friends opening  talk

Embodiment as Sacred

Hello Beloveds,

 We are very aware right now of your energies in your world, and your planet in general.  There is a very strong need for embodiment, for human beings in particular to awaken more deeply into the meaning of embodiment, what it means to have a body, to be a body, to be with a body.  There are so many misunderstandings around that from your cultures and traditions.

 The fundamental need is for an awakening.  A shift so that there is no longer the sense of the spirit as being the highest and the body being the lowest, but rather that the same spark is inherent within what you think of as the spirit or your soul, that very same spark is alive within your body, is the creator of your body, is that which brought it into form and that which continues to exude it into form every moment.  So there is a great, what you would call divinity, to embodiment.

 This sacred awareness of the divinity of embodiment is an awakening that very much needs to happen among human beings, because with that awakening will come the awareness that the earth herself is an alive embodiment, that you are not only connected to but that you are a part of her body  —  that the sense of the sacred, the ultimate sacred, and the mystery that is behind all story and all explanation and all words, actually resides right within your body, and that the soul and the spirit of you reside right within the body of you. 

 Humans have such really a very strong aversion overall to being embodied, because there have been many, many centuries of experience and training in a way of the body that creates a kind of sludge and a reaction of pain.  This causes a desire to pull way and pull out of the body even as you are still with it. And so the knowing of a sacred embodiment and a sacred container is very essential right now for a re-rooting of consciousness on this planet that can help to overcome and move through some chaos and stress for your world and human beings and the planet herself.  It is an awareness of living within the mystery of having a body, as well as that fundamental recognition of its sacredness, this ultimate sense of mystery. 

 The idea of knowing is a very seductive one for human beings, because there is that part you call the ego that believes that if it knows something then it is in control and it is safe and then survival is guaranteed.  Survival is of the body.  Really there is almost nothing that you know.  In a state of Being your only awareness is of being in that moment.  It is not a knowing.  Knowing has to do with the next moment or the moment before.  It has to do with past and future.  It has to do with theory.  It does not have to do with a present and eternal moment, which gifts this sense of being in a sacred mystery always unfolding.  Be willing to be in that, not so much with a not knowing, just with a being present.  This includes the body.  It frees up a great deal of energy, and what you would call health, for the whole of humanity and the whole of your Earth.  It is that we wish to encourage today, that awareness and exploration.
