Teaching & Tales from This and The Other Side of the Veil
A Letter to My Readers
Dearest Reader,
The content of these writings are ones that came to me just as I needed them. The came from this side and the other side of the veil. These writings are answers to questions that have weighted me, as a Baptist Preacher’s daughter who grew up fearing hell, damnation, and the wrath of a judgmental god; and who believed that I was unworthy of that judgmental god’s love.
I know you have already heard these answers of and from The Great Beloved in your Heart of Hearts. I know you’ve heard them in The Way that creates a pathway of understanding especially meant for you.
The reason I am sharing these things
As I’ve seen and heard them
and with you;
And as they were
translated through my mind;
Is because perhaps
they will remind you
of the Love
that God is
When you are in the
Midst of a period of
forgetfulness, fear, loneliness,
hopelessness and despair.
I begin with a poem....
Words
Words are powerful
And sometimes
tricky things.
Sometimes
they bring
great comfort
and deeper
understanding.
Sometimes
they become
stumbling blocks
to deeper wisdom.
Sometimes
they act as fences
that keep us
Separated
One from Another.
Sometimes
they act as bridges
that form a sure pathway
over the waters
of separation
and unknowing.
My prayer:
That my words
may be the doorway
you’ve always known
which gives you entrance
Into the One True Home
of our Great Beloved,
Creator Spirit.
Prologue
Time and Space are not at all as we perceive them. We live in a too little hard-skinned bubble we have created to accommodate our cultural agreements, and our physical bodies. To accommodate this we perceive time as a linear function of minutes, hours and days passing. We perceive space as a linear function of feet and miles (or meters and kilometers depending on which political jurisdiction we inhabit). We perceive our bodies as separated from every other body. We perceive our individuality as being in competition with everyone else’s individuality.
We perceive life in these bodies as being the only reality, even when we espouse a belief in Spirit. We believe that the only reality there is, is this linear and separated perception that we inhabit. This makes us develop the point of view that we are lonely, separated, seemingly loveless, and finite beings.
From the other side of the veil, this illusory perception is seen as an extremely limiting one. It may be useful for making cultural agreements, but it separates us one from another. From the other side of the veil we can see this limited and illusory perception as one that causes great pain.
From the other side, reality is seen as a Froth of Bubbles. We are never distant from our loved ones, or from the Great Love itself. The Great Love contains each of us as separate bubbles within this froth. Thus, our loved ones are right next to us at all times. Our loved one’s edges adhere to ours in the Great Love. This Great Love is what we of different languages and cultures have variously called the One God, Allah, Creator, Spirit.
Space is an illusion. All times exist in the present moment. The present and all possible pasts and futures exist simultaneously in the Froth of Love. What we perceive as broken-ness, separation and hatred disappears in the one reality that is the Froth of Love. Loneliness and separation do not exist. What we do to our Sisters and Brothers that creates hurt, we do to ourselves in the Froth of Love. Thus, when connected to the other side of the veil, it becomes impossible for us to be a either a source or receiver of pain.
For every reality in which the broken behaviors of hatred of the different, racism and sexism exist; and our earthly home is sick, overused and abused; there is a corresponding reality where wholeness and health exists. All we need to do to regain our mental health is reach out to touch that wholeness. All we need to do to create wholeness and health within this earthly home we inhabit is to watch and learn the lessons from our nearby next door reality —where such health and wholeness are real.
Each person, who gains awareness of reality as it exists of the other side of the veil, becomes a point of light who engenders healing within the illusory broken-ness to which we have collectively agreed. Each person thus connected becomes a gateway of healing for our broken world. This healing into wholeness develops in an exponential fashion as one by one, gatekeepers of awareness share the knowledge that engenders a waking connection to the Froth of Love. The Froth of Love (Creator Spirit) is the true existence.
Then, the illusory broken-ness which we have allowed and accepted in this contingent world dissolves as if it never existed. It dissolves because the instant we do something that causes pain to another, we are intensely aware of the pain as if it were our own. When we connect to the other side of the veil, it is not possible for us to do anything that would engender pain and broken-ness for any living being nor for our earth in the here and now. It is not possible because the pain we engender instantly becomes our own.
