10/1/06 -Reclaiming Eden

As we look around, view the varying searches of humanity, what is continuous throughout all religions and spiritual doctrines is the quest for that “place” of perfection.

This is primarily motivated by the belief that we have been, collectively, exiled to this planet as a form of punishment by having fallen in some way from that ever elusive place of wonderment.

Some teachings would have us falling to Earth as a result of some misdeed, others teach that it was a choice that created a fall in vibration that brought us to this place, and still others have us traveling here from far away galaxies to find ourselves unable to return home.

The one common thread in each of these beliefs is the way in which this amazing place called planet Earth is spoken of, seen on a subtle level, as being in some way “less” than the place from which we all originated, and to which we each hope to someday, someway, return.

Whether this point of origin is referred to as nirvana, Eden, or some undefined ascended universal dimension, the message is the same. We are fallen beings, and whether that fall was dimensional, moral or galactic, life on the planet called Earth is the punishment for the actions taken that provoked that fall.

The truth of this belief can be witnessed throughout our many and varied spiritual teachings and studies. Some people are awaiting an ascension, practicing various ascension preparation techniques diligently. Others are looking toward the day when beings from alternate dimensions or galaxies will rescue us, in any variety of ways. Whatever the fundamental belief, the base elements and messages of this belief system remain the same. This is not a good place to be, this is not where we belong, and praise be the day when we can leave here—and go home.

What is most curious about this prevailing belief system is that in another short breath, the same ones awaiting these rescues will refer to the planet as Mother Earth or the Great Mother. Many are the names applied to this most glorious physical place on which we all live together. Names that one would be led to think indicate a level of reverence, a measure of love, a deservingness of respect, and nurturance. But, if that is in fact true, why are we so eager to escape?

The truth is, we are home, or at least on the only planetary home we have known for ages and eons. This is the place to which we came, for the pure fun of frolicking in what was then a lower frequency, at the time when we chose to move out of the realms commonly thought of as the higher dimensions. Granted, those lower dimensions were not carbon based in that time, but it was something different, and therein, a great new adventure. It was here that we came in order to create the original space of what is traditionally called Eden.

It has long been told of how we came to this place, carrying with us many elements of other physical realities, essentially turning the Earth Herself into a library of knowledge and beauty that represented all levels of existence. But then, as has also been long reported, we became locked into the cycle of the planet, and have remained connected by virtue of the reincarnational cycle since that time. We have returned lifetime after lifetime, just to find ourselves again searching for that treasured space of escape. But it will not be found in an ascension, or a mass exodus of any type.

Now it is time to open our eyes, to look around and to see that Eden, nirvana, or whatever label you prefer, is still right here. We are even now in the Garden of Delight that we long ago came to, by virtue of our pure free will choice. The only thing that has changed is our ability to recognize this truth, and now it is time for the reclaiming of its power.

At our core, we know this to be the truth. In the deepest parts of our beings, we feel the limitless love we have for this planet. And, in our higher mind we carry the awareness that it is through our use of free will choice that we have lingered in this realm for such an extended period of time.

In truth, the power to rise back to our fullness has always remained within our beings, and we could have—at any moment—with only the most gentle nudge from our higher selves or ascended teachers, re-arisen to the place of higher dimensional existence.

But we have chosen repeatedly to return, to enjoy again the richness of physicality. From the wisest levels of our beings, we are fully aware that this physically-based reality is a rare and profoundly treasured gift that we bring to ourselves, over and over again, as we once more return for yet another life. Throughout the many dimensional existences from which there are to choose, and to which we could connect, there are many experiences to be had, but it is only in this reality that we can physically connect with the tender skin of a loved one, smell the delicious fragrance of a flower in bloom, or experience drops of soft, soothing rain on our faces.

We are here, not because it is forced upon us by our higher selves, the universal whole, or any other external force. We are here out of our choice, and we are here to remember. We are here to reclaim the realization that this is the place we have been seeking. And, as we rise back to our own occasion of embracing this truth, we will shift into full recognition of the miraculousness of life lived through the physical plane. Then, through this single, but vast recognition, we will be healed—instantly and completely. All of us, together, will become whole once again. From this wholeness of self, of mind, of beingness, of recognition of the truth of the amazing gift of this planet, then she too will be healed.

She calls to us. Daily. She calls with the beauty of Her rivers, Her deserts, Her fields and Her mountains. She calls to us through the abundance of remarkable life forms to whom she is home. She calls to us of Her unending love by continuing to provide for us, Her beloved, as we ignore Her, desecrate Her, and long for a permanent escape from Her. She calls to us to remember Her, as the Eden that she is, to remember ourselves as Her beloved children. Shhh. Listen. You may just hear Her voice.
