THE MERGING
“Let
us merge into one being,” spoke Gaia.
It was
my dream again, only this time it seemed so real. I saw Gaia before me in her
form as an elegant Priestess. She wore a
flowing opalescent gown that wrapped loosely around her body and was clasped at
her left shoulder with a silver owl. Her abundant dark hair, swept up on top of
her head, highlighted her delicate facial features. Small ringlets caressed her cheeks and the
nape of her neck. An aura of feminine
power surrounded her and seemed to radiate from her like a beacon.
Copper
snakes coiled around each of her upper arms. Around her neck she wore a magnificent
jade necklace with a huge amethyst jewel that hung from its center and rested
between her breasts. The gem seemed to
magnify the radiance flowing from her heart.
But, what struck me the most were her eyes. They were as violet as the jewel against her
heart, as they penetrated my very Soul.
“Let
us merge into one being,” she said again, as she stood before me face to face
and heart to heart.
Even
if this meeting with Gaia was just a
dream, the honor was the same. How could
I resist her request? She raised her hands to the level of her heart, palms
facing forward, and I mirrored her motion.
She stepped towards me, and I stepped towards her. As our palms touched, so did our hearts.
Slowly, I could feel that we were merging. I
felt the copper bracelets cool upon my upper arms and the weight of the
amethyst necklace heavy upon my heart. I
felt the gossamer gown soft against my skin and the weight of the silver owl that
held it in place. My hair was also pulled high upon my head, and I felt the
breeze playing with the wisps of hair that tickled my face and neck. On our
feet we wore simple sandals, and we were standing on Earth’s fertile soil.
As
Gaia sent roots down from her feet deep into the body of her planet, I felt the
roots pull upon the soles of my feet.
These roots, carrying our consciousness with them, traveled deeper and
deeper, past the topsoil, into the sand, beyond the bedrock, and into the caves
of enlightenment. Yes, Gaia was alive
there too, pregnant with all life.
Deeper
still our roots traveled carrying our joint consciousness down, down into the
molten core of the Earth. Once there, we
surrendered our spirit flame into Earth’s core.
As I bravely stepped into the flame, I could feel that Gaia and I were ONE. Light as a feather, we floated up to the
surface where our combined essence entered the human body that was once mine. Now,
Gaia and I had completely merged into one form. In doing so, I was ONE with her
planet, Earth.
From deep inside my expanded being, I could
feel my legs pull nourishment up from the Earth’s core. I felt the compassionate love of the Gaia’s
heart filling our joint form. I was a
human, but I was also the Earth. From my
solar plexus, I communed with the waters of my great oceans and all the life
that lived within them. I remembered how
my creatures had first crawled from these waters to live on the land and in the
air. I could hear the call of each life
form as it spoke to me of its needs. I intimately knew each growing plant and
felt the burden of every mountain and hill.
Within
my heart was unconditional love for all my inhabitants. I felt the birth of
each babe and the opening of each flower.
My emotions changed the weather and the sky echoed my thoughts. I witnessed the continuous rising and setting
of the Sun and felt the pull of the Moon as it orbited around me.
Then my awareness expanded to encompass the
entire Solar System. I welcomed the energy field of love radiating from
Father/Mother Sun that kept each brother and sister planet in orbit. Venus sent a special ray of love to me, her
dear sister Earth. This love further
expanded my consciousness, and I became a traveler in the Milky Way. The Great
Central Sun beckoned me home, as I felt the Milky Way surrounding me. I was a body of light and life within the vast
expanse of space.
Off in
the distance, at the very edge of my Universe, I saw a star. It was Father/Mother Sun, and it was calling
me home to Earth. With a gentle tug, I
traveled instantly back through the Milky Way, back to my Solar System, back to
Earth and back into a small body that was beginning to awaken. The jolt was so intense that my eyes flew
open.
As I set up in my bed, I saw Gaia standing before
me.
Deep in her violet eyes, I saw my SELF.
Now that the sleep of many
lives
has come into its morning
light.
Now that the fear of many
moments
has begun to lose its
fearsome might.
Now that the flower of my
own creation
has renewed itself in a
new ideation.
Now and forever there can
be freedom.
Now and forever there can
be peace.
Peace to go inside and see
all I ever dreamed to be.
My dues are paid.
I’m not afraid.
For I have been shown
I’m not alone.
And, in the showing
there is a knowing
and the power that can
only be
as I live my life by being
ME.
Because I understand this
vision
I have the strength for
this decision.
For as the hand fits in
the glove
I surround myself with
Peace and Love.
May each and every ONE of you have a Peaceful and Loving
2014
