The Path of Relationship —Legend and Legacy

The Legend: The story has been told many ways, in many a place
Is it true? Search your soul ..feel.. divine grace

From the unity of the infinite came a separation-a separation that would birth anpassionate expression of vital energy…Life

Heaven meets Earth- Yin welcomes Yang, Bright and Dark embrace in a compellingnloving force that conceived a child…planet earth

There was a time estimated at 26,000 years ago when the poles of our planet faced a part of thengalaxy where the concentration of constellations was of far greater magnitude than we see andnfeel today.

Imagine looking up to behold a bright confetti-like vision in the night sky— A tapestry ofninfinite stars glimmering, sparkling and radiating their light and vital force towards the planetnearth. At this time on earth, the inhabitants were deeply aligned with the vibrations of thenuniverse that originated at the dawn of creation.

The people of this time embodied the same vital charge that blessed every speck of life. Thei
bodies were charged with an adaptable vitality that could endure the wide range of atmosphericninfluences. The food was filled with so much nourishment that very little cultivation ornpreparation was necessary. The peoples’ innate ability to survive nature’s widely changing moodsnallowed them to focus their time on developing consciousness in communion with all livingnthings. Humans, animals and plants lived together and cooperated in a harmonious life dance. Thenabundance of chi/life force surrounding each being made it very natural to feel and live innextraordinary ways…telepathy, teleportation, psycho kinesis, acceptance, honesty and beauty allndominated the existence of this civilization who intuitively knew how to transform any difficultyninto inspiration. Lies, hate or violence were unknown —compassion was the final result of everyncircumstance. People smiled at the clouds of interpersonal adversity because they trusted thatneverything exists in a harmonious cycle. Light always followed darkness, which in turn, was thenmother of renewed light. The attitude of gratitude—grace full attitude was a given. The intensenvital forces of nature were balanced by an opposite yet complementary force of peace andnharmony within the people who were exposed to these influences— creative forces of naturenstreaming down and uniting with the equally fertile planet earth— Life was dominated by anspring and summer-like enthusiasm and passion…
And all things come to pass

The intense forces of nature eventually exerted a force so strong on the planet that the poles of thenearth changed to face a different part of the galaxy. Survivors of the resulting catastrophe nownfound a different night sky with less stars shining down on the planet.
The water and soil quality was no longer nourished by the same vitality radiating from thenheavens above. Increased food cultivation and the use of fire became necessary to provide thenresulting less vital foods with the energy necessary to sustain health. To compensate for thendiminished forces of nature influencing the planet, humans were being called upon to look withinnand create new ways to establish peace and harmony.

A Fall from grace? A Winter hibe

Where Analysis replaced Intuitio

Where time and space seemed linear
How could we forget?
A fall from paradise??or a necessary development ?

The Legacy
From the period after 6000 BC elders and wise ones (Jesus, Buddah, Mohammed, Lao Tse arensome of the more well known) tried to speak or write memories of the past to be once againnrealized by the human race. That innate wisdom which was once a given, had become a valuednmystery that all beings longed for. The essence of vitality showered upon us in the past seemednhidden or distorted. It was up to humanity now to find new ways to sort out this dark veil ofnconfusion. For so long our outer environment provided these answers intuitively and now insteadnof adapting by looking more deeply into the wisdom within, we continued to look outsidenourselves for solutions….. to no avail —so where we once respected our surrounding influences,nwe instead began to blame our exte
al environment for the troubles we experienced. Instead ofnblending with nature we sought to control it as quickly as possible in ways that bypassednreverence or thought to the consequences on our mother planet. In times of stress, this dodging ofnrespect was extended to our brothers and sisters. We forgot that all our relations were annextension of ourselves. In an effort to survive we protected our immediate communities. Wencreated boundaries, cities, and countries. We separated from the one world society of the past.
This trend has continued into modern times. Our words and actions reveal inconsistencies. Wensay we strive to maintain cleanliness yet pollute the planet to do so? We say we value peacenamong all beings yet kill to have it? We say we want truth yet lie when it serves us? We say wenlove our brothers and sisters and use the word hate as often or more than we express love?
These inconsistencies create a gap in our awareness—an inner lack of trust in our self AND if wenboth recognize and transform these in congruencies, we will get that the energy derived fromnthese contradictions is here to drive us to create a better world. Acknowledgment of our extremenpersonal polarities and transforming them into harmony is perhaps the very goal of our existence.
This transformation from blame to response ability compensates for the constellational energy wenlost 6,000 years ago. Energy is never created or destroyed. The deficit is balanced by our abilitynto turn fear into love…and it happens through relationship. When we make choices that arenmotivated by love instead of fear, we create the necessary life force to make the world go around.
Start with the self, and extend the power of healing our inconsistencies to family, friends,nspouses, partners. The resulting harmony will overflow into social and political relations. Whennmaking choices, ask yourself: Which decision is best for my health and the health of the planet Inlive on? Which decision creates more love within myself and in the world around me? Whichndecision brings me to my authentic life dream and the dream we all share—Love in a peacefulnworld? This legend is ongoing and will be the legacy we leave for generations to come.

Why have I chosen?
Why do I care and persist?
Because inside a voice whispers, sometimes screams
We’re here to shift.
Follow Love’s call. Maintain-Connect with all the rest.nfor the Glory of Heart, Spirit and Soul
Beckons Our Drive - And the Glow of this light
Always Persists.
Conflict! I welcome your shadenfor the seed is nourished by darkness ....
To transform... Metamorphis.
I revel in the fuel created by Fear’s grinding
Deeper into the abyss..
