ITS ALL ABOUT LOVE
By David
I had a dream last night that the entire country was experiencing what
is happening in New York and New Jersey. People were running out of food, the
power was off, their homes were destroyed and there was no gasoline or means of
transportation. Many were fighting in the streets for survival. I awoke
in a fit, feeling that with all the political and economic chaos in this
country and the world this could truly happen through out America at any moment.
Getting up to quiet my mind, I processed the dream as to what it could mean to me and to the country. Gradually there came an image of Jesus walking on the water surrounded by a giant storm.
(Jesus walks on water, by Ivan Aivazovsky - 1888)
I remembered the story......In the midst of the storm
and the darkness of the night the disciples became fearful. The more
fearful they became the more intense the storm became. Looking at the horizon
they saw Jesus walking on the sea. They were even more frightened, thinking
they were seeing a spirit, but Jesus told them not to be afraid as he
asked the question, do you not trust me? They were reassured as Jesus calmed the storm and entered the boat.
They then sailed peacefully to the other shore.
Instantly a question, as if
from beyond me, resounded in my mind. Why are you afraid? Do you
no longer Trust God?

A deep feeling of peace and
understanding filled me as I remembered the recent sign of the UFO shaped cloud
that God manifested over my head on the beach one night as a reminder that
everything was going to be OK…..I only had to let go of control and my fears
and Trust God.
With a deep inner peace I returned to bed. Sleep came instantly.
Later that morning, in
sharing my dream with Pam, we took a moment to reflect on the dream. Our
wisdom was that yes, there is chaos and fear in the world today. Because
we live in Florida we simply looked at the political and economic chaos like we
did each summer as we prepare for the possible arrival of a hurricane.
We both
agreed that because of my dream it was time to review our checklist of things
we need to take care of in our personal life in case the political and economic storm that is affecting the world
arrives in our neighborhood and our life.
Completing our check list review we
knew we had taken care of the details to protect ourselves and our property. We were ready. We then went back to doing what we do each day......being
a light house of love....Trusting and Serving God......
.............knowing that things
always work out for us when we respond only in Love without judgments to all that is happening to and around us.
We will be soon posting our next post
as we share how this model relates to
the Balinese Model for Peace.
