The Lightness of Being a Being of Light

B Y   H E A T H E R   F R A S E R

SEE THE FEATHER floating on the breeze...
See the oak leaf as it twirls to the ground...
See the weeping willow caressing her lover, the wind...
See the smoke from your incense as it spirals upwards...
See the litter swept up in a sudden rush of spiral dance...
See the dust motes dancing in the sunlight streaming through your window...
See the dandelion seeds gently drift on your child's breath as she exhales in wonder...
See the butterfly glide by with beauty and grace...
See the snowflakes falling silently in joy...

There is such joy in witnessing the Lightness of Being in the natural world! It is a joy that wells up from deep within. It is a reminder of who we are and what we have forgotten about our magnificence as a Being of Light. What is Light, anyway, other than an absence of darkness? When we look to nature and observe the multitude of teachings surrounding us in each moment, what we witness is really only one teaching. That of non-resistance, or to put it another way, the joy of Acceptance.

It is a curious phenomenon to view the magnitude of teachings - given humbly and freely to us by the natural world - in this regard. Despite the proportion of planet earth to the humans living on it, teachings of non-resistance to what is go mostly unnoticed. If we could look down from the moon, it would be clear that the size of human life is insignificant compared to the size of the natural world.

Contrary to what most believe, I do not feel there will ever be a time where our planet will collapse due to human overpopulation or ignorance. It will not be so, for the natural Universe is all-knowing. It is the All. It is the Source. It is the Oneness. It is the Unity of All That Is. The sun, the moon, the stars, the galaxies, the planets and beyond: this is the natural Universe of which our planet is a part. This is a Universe of which we humans are an even smaller part.

It is time, I feel, to relay this message clearly in order that we may give up any false sense of great importance to the role we think we play in saving our planet. How can it be so when, in fact, what is true is that she is humbly, lovingly, respectfully, and with great reverence and dignity, attempting to save us?

The time has come for a message of Truth. As with Truth, this message is simple: Acceptance equals Joy. There is nothing more to know. Let us allow the simplicity of this message sink deeply into our Being at the cellular level. Breathe it in. Drink it in. Let us infuse it into our every thought and feeling. Let us become it. Let us live it. Let us then go forth and Teach it by example. There is nothing else to know, for this Truth lies within us, and our blessed natural world was given to us to assist us - through joy and reverence and beauty - as we walk the Way of Acceptance. The more we overlook the humble teachings of our natural world, the more lost we will become. Thus, our Mother Earth will attempt to awaken us through her powerful force of love and grace.

Think not that what we name "natural disasters" are an angry Gaia lashing out in vengeful retaliation against our human egos. Nothing could be further from the Truth. The Intelligence of the Universe knows not of such darkness. All movement of energy - to create or destroy - is a powerful Light-Infused Force of Love. This Love is set forth in action to bring about balance and harmony, beginning and ending, birth and rebirth to the Whole, which includes humanity. Let us not think of our Mother Earth as angry for wrongs we have done to her. The wrongs we have done are to ourselves through resistance! This she knows. It is this she continues to show us through her teachings of non-resistance. She is forever our benevolent teacher if we would only choose to notice.

We have but one thing to know and understand. Acceptance equals Joy, which in its turn equals Lightness of Being... which in its turn equals becoming a Being of Light.

What is the darkness that hides your Light? It is RESISTANCE TO WHAT IS. The human ego will always resist the path of least resistance! Yet, the path of least resistance is the path of God, Goddess, All There Is. The path of least resistance will lead us to ourselves and to union with the wisdom of the Cosmos. Why not step out of the closed doors that separate us from one another? Let us walk into our forests, into our parks, into our greenhouses... Let us walk out into our backyards and look up into our sky! Let us witness the stillness, peace and harmony; witness the unity, beauty and cycles; witness the freedom, power and intelligence; witness the balance... Let us witness the dance.

What do you think we might notice about the energy that allows this creation to continue creating with such perfection? What do you think would be the energy that would allow us as human beings to live in peace, harmony, balance, joy, and unity with each other and all things? It is one and the same. Acceptance. I choose this word for its overall vibration. Within it lives all words connected to Truth: unconditional love, tolerance, harmony, union, peace, respect, joy, balance, wisdom, flow, power, trust, tenderness, allowance, openness, creation, integrity, honour, surrender. The vibration of Acceptance allows the fullness of God's wisdom to flow through us and through the Cosmos. Acceptance announces to the Cosmos that we understand the intelligent order of Source Energy and that we are willing to surrender our personal agendas, programming, will, or ego and be humbly led by this infinite intelligence along the path of least resistance.

Acceptance surrenders us to trust and dependence on only one thing: God. This is the wisdom of all that is Infinite. This is what we now have the capacity to comprehend. This is what Divine Intelligence is leading us to: Home. It leads us to Our Infinite Self; to the God Within; to Acceptance of What Is.

If in our gardens we plant a seed of corn, a cucumber does not grow. It cannot be so. The Divine Intelligence within the seed of corn sees to it that it becomes all that it is set forth to be. The corn has no resistance to becoming what it is. External forces can put resistance upon it (in lack of heat, light or water), but if basic conditions are set forth rightly, the corn seed will become corn. How ridiculous to think our process of growth would be different!

We are Infinite Beings of Light. We were planted on earth. The Divine Intelligence within us will see to it that we become all that we are set forth to be. We need only to accept this Law and allow it to be so. It is only our resistance to this truth - and to any past conditions that were set forth for us - that dims our Light and causes us to falter and lose our way. But even our resistance cannot undo what is so. Always, our light will be within, awaiting its freedom to expand fully within and around us - awaiting the moment it can know wholeness once again by joining with its Universal Family of Light.

Let us not be the jailer of our joy and freedom. Let us accept the truth of who we are. Until we do, not one can be free. In freeing ourselves, we free our brother; we come to know the Lightness of Being a Being of Light.
