About 10 years ago, being tired of my ship not coming in, I decided to jump into the ocean and start swimming to look for it. During my adventure, I began to learn another way of processing information. Although I was still looking for my ship, I realized that the ocean didn’t really care about what I was looking for, or my ship, because within the ocean itself, a whole other reality existed, which was much more interesting.
In order to survive in the ocean, you cannot continue to pursue the same value as you do on dry land. The important laws that govern the land are lost in the vastness of the sea. If you are in the ocean long enough, you learn these values by honoring them, and appreciate what is there without judgment.
The creatures in the ocean don’t care if they break a human law, but there is a common awareness in it. This common awareness is much like a whole consistent energy pattern. If you learn to flow within this frequency, without demands, you are never in danger. The ocean only understands being in this frequency now. If you are hungry, do not go out and swim a long way, because eventually what you want is going to show up. Be patient. This was difficult, because there was something inside that pushed me to go and look for what I wanted. Eventually, I figured out what "that" was, but I don’t remember anymore because it has lost its importance.
Creatures of the sea are not conflicted, so they are not fooled by the conscious patterns that are recognized as intelligence on land. Because there is not conflict, there is no fear. What is believed to be fear by people is really awareness of whole preservation consistent within the species. In order for there to be fear, there must first be guilt, and I am pretty sure ocean creatures do not feel guilty about what they eat. The ocean is innocent.
In the ocean, there is only one definition for its entirety. This One Definition does not intrude on what is there. This does not mean there are no laws in the ocean. The laws here are an inner knowing and not about proper behavior. Behavior implies being conscious about what is being done. The ocean does not do, because it is consistently being an ocean to provide for the beings that live there.
I found I had a unique way of relating to the ocean because I did have consciousness. I could make the ocean change from a beautiful blue to a dark gray with my thoughts. When I was tranquil, the ocean was equally tranquil. When I was fearful, the ocean turned dark and the sharks began to circle. As I watched, each time I changed my thoughts, the impact of my thinking was evident on my surroundings. It took me awhile to understand this. Before, I thought these things just happened.
I did a lot of inner reflection. I vowed to change the darkness I held in consciousness so I could swim in the ocean and not reflect the inner beast of fear I held within my mind. This was not an easy task. Just when I thought I had figured in out, the sharks began to circle again. I learned this was a clue to show me I was not as far along as I thought. I began to let go of everything in my mind that interfered with my peace, even though there were times I was terrified. As I watched my surroundings turn from terror to peace, the sharks would leave. Aha I thought, a tool I can use on land.
It was always easy to be peaceful when there were no sharks, but training my mind to be peaceful when they were present took some doing. At first I did not see the value of this, nor did I understand. But eventually, it began to dawn on me the wholeness of the lesson of being consistently peaceful. I learned that peace is the condition of truth, and the reality of Love; and where Love is, all is well and I am safe.
Eventually, the fear I held in my body began to present itself as past influences I had learned as a child. As the childhood tears I had bottled up within were released and blended with the Sounds of peace coming from the ocean, the child went Home. I felt her leave as my body relaxed and the danger I perceived was gone. There was never anything to fear, it was only my innocence that had hidden in fear because of a perceived threat at a very young age. She hid within me. I thought it was me that was afraid, but it was her.
I never realized how many children were buried alive within myself. As each inner child was released I would find myself riding on a current of Love. So swiftly did this current move, I did not recognize my advancement until I looked back. What entered my mind were recognitions of my purpose and how I had agreed to share the experiences I had learned while looking for my ship. I was told what these lessons were for, and how to share them with others. I wanted to share them immediately, but it was not time.
The echoes throughout the Universe of the purpose of time and space expanded my consciousness beyond anything I could have imagined, and I saw the face of God and heard of His Love for me. As my heart began to open, it expanded beyond the walls of physical time, and I saw the Promised Land.
I began to see my own reflection is everything I looked upon, and I knew beyond a doubt that the world I had made, good or bad, was of my own making. But I still was not happy and did not like what I had made, so I kept swimming. I would not be happy until every innocent child that was buried alive within my mind, and lived in the terror I felt, was released.
It took 10 years to realize what I was looking for I already was in possession of. While learning this other value, I lost all of my worldly goods and the false associations I had pinned my hopes on before I took my dip in the ocean. They were all illusions.
With nothing in my hands, I could go before my God and start again. I could take the scattered pieces of truth I had learned while swimming in the ocean, put them all together and share what I had learned with the world. The of Universal Plan of One Wholeness Now, They call it.
I never found my ship. It was never real. What I did find was a Universally Inspired reality; one that taught me how to speak and listen to the Universal Language of Love. What I found was a whole other memory, the one I share with God. These are my blessings. These are my miracles. These are my Witnesses to another World beyond this one. One filled with beauty and peace…and they will learn war no more, for the former things have passed away.
