Could it be that wherever we see magnificence that this magnificence is alive in us? Could it be that whatever we dream up as fulfillment from our position as a fearful work-in-process could never compare to what the universe has planned for us? That to follow the plan, we first need to open up the body, heart, and mind to the authenticity of all that we feel?
Could it be that the deeper secret and the higher magic is right in the heart of those areas where we suffer the most, in those same areas that we have always avoided?
There is an offering of passion beyond belief waiting at the door of every individual, but it is a door which is often closed. It is the door through which we perceive and receive life unfiltered and without control. Are we ready to let it open?
This offering of passion leaves no part untended. It touches the form, but also the soul of the form. It arouses suffering but also the creational power within the pain. It welcomes adversity but also the hero within the moment of strife. It takes the horror of death and instantly holds the wonder of life.
It will not forsake the forsaken nor expel the refugee. It will not despise the despicable, nor will it reject that which has been hounded out of form. Rather it will turn to each thread of physical, energetic, sentient, and spiritual vibration as if it were meeting the miracle. This is the alchemy in which suffering becomes passion, passion becomes purpose, and purpose becomes manifestation. All this is suffused with the sense of unconditional reward and fulfillment – a reunion of life with life.
This is the deeper secret and the higher magic. Our sense of purpose and our passion is right here, in the cracking open of the intimate kernel of our suffering, in an offering of service to the whole. In this, we stop creating illusion and open to the sense of truth, sharing it all in the light of conscious arousal.
