THE FAR SIDE OF THE MOON 2020

THE SILENCE CAME AS A RELIEF TO THE SENSES. IT WASHED OVER THEM AND SETTLED AS A SOFT BLANKET OF LOVE THEY HAD LONG SINCE FORGOTTEN. THOSE WHO HAD COME WERE LAYING AS IF BABES IN THE STILLNESS OF THE MOMENT WITHOUT THOUGHT AND ONLY A STREAM OF LIGHT CASTING ITS STARE ON THEIR SLUMBER. THIS WAS THE TIME. BUT FOR NOW ALL THOUGHTS OF MOVING WERE A LONG WAY OFF. NO ONE MOVED. NO ONE TALKED. IT WAS AS IF THEY WERE HELD IN THE BUBBLE OF THIS BREATH THAT WANTED THEM TO STAY WITHIN ITS BLISSFUL STATE OF LOVE.

THOSE WHO HAD MADE THEIR WAY TO THIS SPOT KNEW NOT WHAT IT MEANT. THEY HAD TRUSTED THE SIGNS THEY HAD INNATELY FOLLOWED ON EARTH TO BE HERE. AND NOW THE COSMIC BELL HAD CHIMED FOR THEIR ATTENDANCE TO HERALD THE VOICE OF THE STILLNESS OF THE NEW AGE.

THE DAYS LEADING UP TO THIS MOMENT WERE FILLED WITH UNCERTAINTY AS THE OLD REGIME SLIPPED AWAY. THE THOUGHTS THAT HAD INVADED THEIR HEADS UP TILL NOW CEASED TO BE PART OF EACH MOMENT.

AS THE BELL CHIMED SLOWLY EACH ONE AWOKE AND SAT UP TO LOOK AROUND.

A WOMAN SAID…WE ARE IN THE GARDEN! ANOTHER SAID ..NO WE ARE IN THE WILDERNESS OF OUR HEARTS TRYING TO FIND HOME. AND STILL THE WOMEN SAT THERE WAITING FOR WHAT THEY THOUGHT WOULD COME.

BUT HE SAT ALONE. NO ONE TALKED TO HIM. HIS CLOTHES WERE SIMPLE AND HIS SHAWL WAS WRAPPED AROUND HIS SHOULDERS AND COVERED HIS HEAD. HE NO LONGER WANTED TO BE PART OF THIS CONVERSATION. IT WAS ALL THEY TALKED OF IN THE DAYLIGHT HOURS ON THE EARTH AND NOW IN THE DREAM TIME THEY HAD ALL MET TO DISCOVER THEY STILL SEARCHED!! HOW COULD THAT BE? WHY? HE SAT WITH HIS OWN THOUGHTS AND STOOD UP. SOMEONE LOOKED OVER TO WHERE HE STOOD AND SAID “DO YOU KNOW WHEN THE LIGHT WILL COME”? FROM BENEATH HIS HOOD HE STARED WITH DARK GLOWING EYES LIT BY THE MOON. HE SAID “DO NOT ASK WHAT IS TO COME BELOVED. DO NOT SEEK TO KNOW WHAT IS THE FUTURE WHEN YOU CANNOT MAKE SENSE OF THE PAST.” THE MAN STARED AT HIM ANGRILY. IT WAS NOT HIS INTENTION TO REBUKE THE QUESTIONER ONLY TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT TO BE IN THIS SPACE NOW YOU MUST SURELY REALISE IT IS NOT TO PREDICT THE FUTURE! IT IS TO CELEBRATE THE VICTORY OF THE MOMENT!! WOULD HE HAVE THE HEART TO SAY IT TO THEM HE WONDERED.

THE LIGHT STREAMED IN SLOWLY AND LIT THE FACES OF THOSE WHO HAD GATHERED THERE. HE HAD KNOWN THERE WOULD NOT BE MANY, BUT EVEN HE WAS SURPRISED AT HOW FEW HAD COME. HE PUT HIS HAND ON HIS HEART AND ASKED THE SPIRIT WHY. THE ANSWER CAME STRAIGHT AWAY. “IT ONLY COMES IF YOU LISTEN. THOSE WHO ASK FOR ANSWERS RECEIVE MORE TO PONDER ON. BUT THOSE WHO SURRENDER TO THE POSSIBILITY OF THE KINGDOM BEING THE EXPERIENCE OF GOD, SOON FIND THEY ARE DELIVERED TO THE DOOR OF UNDERSTANDING.”

SHE STOOD WITH HIM NOW AND LOOKED INTO HIS FACE. SHE PLACED HER HAND ON HIS HEART AND HE FELT THE SURRENDER OF ALL OF HIS WORRIES TO SPIRIT. THEY SMILED AND SHE FELT THE LIGHT SHIFT FROM WHERE IT HAD STREAMED IN TO WHERE THEY HAD GATHERED.

IT IS TIME. SHE READ HIS FEATURES AND KNEW. AS IF BY THOUGHT THE LIGHT FILLED THE SPACE THEY DWELT IN. THE DREAM THEY HAD ENTERED WAS FILLED WITH THE LIGHT THAT GUIDED THEM. AND IN THAT MOMENT THE BELL WAS RINGING DEEPLY FROM THE ANCIENT TOME OF WORDS LEFT FOR ALL TO UNDERSTAND. THEY STOOD THERE WATCHING THE OTHERS REACTION. THE OTHERS LOOKED AROUND TO EACH OTHER AND WAITED. SLOWLY THEY TURNED TO THEM AS IF TO ASK WHAT DO WE DO? WHAT IS HAPPENING?

THE COUPLE SMILED AND LOOKED TOWARDS THOSE GATHERED THERE. NOTHING WAS SAID. ONE VOICE SPOKE.

“ALL THAT IS HIDDEN IS REVEALED. BUT ONLY THAT WHICH YOU UNDERSTAND CAN BE UNDERSTOOD.”

SHE KNEW IT WAS TIME TO EXPLAIN TO THOSE WHO HAD FOLLOWED THEM WHAT IT ALL MEANT….

“WELCOME BELOVED FRIENDS AND FAMILY. YOU HAVE GATHERED HERE IN DREAM TIME UNDER THE LIGHT OF THE MOON. THIS IS WHERE ALL UNDERSTANDING CAN BE FOUND. IT IS IN YOUR REST YOU CAN LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF YOUR HEART. THE CARES OF EACH DAY ARE LEFT BEHIND AND EVEN THE DREAM THAT BRINGS YOU UNREST WILL SURELY BRING YOU UNDERSTANDING.”

SOMEONE SHOUTED. “BUT WHAT OF THE DAY AND WHAT OF THE FUTURE. WHAT IS TO BECOME OF THE WORLD!!!”

HE LOOKED TO HER AND SHE NODDED.

“THE WORLD IS NOT YOUR WORRY. IT IS OF NO CONCERN TO YOU BELOVEDS. YOUR WORLD IS THE ONE YOU CARRY IN YOUR HEART AND SOUL THAT MUST MAKE SENSE TO YOU AND BE LIFTED BY SPIRIT TO ELEVATE YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS. ALL THAT COMES FROM THE SPIRIT WILL BE THE VOICE OF GOD AS THE DESCENT OF THE DOVE BREATHES A PASSION AND COMPASSION WITHIN YOU ONCE MORE. THE JOURNEY OF YOUR FLESH NEED ONLY BE SURRENDERED TO THE KNOWLEDGE THAT YOU WERE ALWAYS SAFE…YOU WERE ALWAYS TO BE HELPED TO SALVATION. FOR WHAT AILS YOU IS THE NEED TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE YOU ARE IN AND WHAT SAVES YOU IS THE KNOWING YOU ARE ALWAYS BEING GUIDED.”

SOMEHOW THE WORDS SOOTHED THEM WITH THERE STRAIGHTFORWARD LOGIC!! THERE WAS NO PROMISE OF RICHES OR GIFTS ONLY OF PEACE, LOVE AND HARMONY. THE JOY OF LIVING WITH THE BLESSING OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD.

HE ASKED NOTHING OF THEM. ONLY THAT THEY WOULD LISTEN.

SHE HELD OUT HER HANDS ABOVE HER HEAD. THE LIGHT OF THE MOON HAD WANED IN THIS SPACE AND THE SUN HAD RISEN. THE FIRE IN THE SKY AROUND THEM WAS LIKE THE LIGHT OF THE RICHEST JEWEL. THEY ALL STARED IN WONDER AND DROPPED TO THEIR KNEES. ONE OF THEM SHOUTED “WHERE ARE WE….TO BE ANSWERED BY “WE ARE HOME.”

THE DOVE DESCENDED UPON EACH OF THEM AS HE HAD PROMISED IT WOULD. THE MIGHTY SPIRIT THAT IS HOLY AND ABOVE ALL WITHOUT BLEMISH, FELL UPON THEIR SHOULDERS AS THEY DROPPED TO THEIR KNEES. THEY FELT IT WITHIN THEIR STOMACHS AND THEIR SACREDNESS AND WERE IN AWE OF THE MOMENT.

AS THE WITNESSES THEY STOOD. THOSE WHO HAD COME HERE HAD FOUND THE DOORWAY TO UNDERSTANDING. IT WAS WHAT THEY HAD SEARCHED FOR ALL ALONG, TO BE UNDERSTOOD. THE CHILD HAD GROWN INTO THE ETERNAL ONE OF THE UNIVERSE AND GOD’S VOICE WAS STILL WITHIN THEM.

THE DOOR TO UNDERSTANDING IS OPENING HE SAID. CAN YOU LEAVE BEHIND THAT WHICH YOU CARRIED ON THIS JOURNEY BELOVED, TO ONCE MORE FIND HOME?

AND IT IS SO

BLESSED BE.
