I went for A Christmas drink with the lads at work this evening. I was reluctant at first simply because I am a member of the addiction gene pool and have a long history of tackling this personal distortion of weakness/strength.
Being enlightened though I immediately perceived a potential to be of service, regardless of what I drank and who I met.
That inherent request was answered shortly after we ended up in a club. I took up the opportunity by walking round and offering "Christmas hugs" to every one that caught my eye.
Girls were dancing and guys were ogling while I went on a mission to give "Christmas hugs to anyone who accepted my festive gesture.
Around the dance floor I went and even the most unassuming of chaps made the hoped for concessions. (some guys appeared super charged on steroids! Can I get a crimbo hug off ya big brother, aided by a wink and a smile)
STS folks are not the only ones with seductive charm!
STO charm however is driven by the attempt to invite an other self into a communal experience, as opposed to a deceptive and enslaving one. STO use eye contact and focus on (temporarily become one with) the essence of that other self that captures the hidden gem within that is
inherently waiting to be discovered, a humble catalyst offering the self to self.
The word charm in this context though is merely a rhetorical device, as is the one preceding it. All are used however with the intention to inspire my brother and sister members, as well as our curious unregistered relatives that may randomly bumb up against this virtual, yet authentic exchange forum. A community of co lovers, workers and creators.
When you feel your cup is brimming with love, splashing it about at this time of year is a timely response when our sub logos affirmatively gives way to the long , cold and dark balancing procedures of the great illusion.
And so I asked a pretty buff looking chap on the fringe of the dancefloor for a Christmas cuddle. His female friend gave me a 'and you are!?' kind of look, but this chap grabbed my offering. We hugged and we squeezed. As he stepped back he looked at me straight and said...
"How did you know that I needed that? (precise words) My sister died last week and I cant really deal with it" (paraphrased).
As the empathy left my eyes and entered into his he diverted to talking to his female friend, I interjected by offering her the same gesture. She obliged smiling and rubbed my back as if to say thanks. I then left the couple chatting as it was apparent that he did not want me to reply to his question. It was the Friday night out before Christmas afterall. Before I walked off though to continue this heartfelt opportunity I again interrupted his converse, saying...
"With regards to your sister, all is well buddy"
He nodded and continued in his conversation.
Some folks I squeezed lightly, and some tightly (as mentioned above). Others got the manly hug and one chap felt it necessary to lift me off the ground. Another got a big kiss on his cheek with a loud "Merry Crimbo fella!!"
So before I retire to bed at 06.40am, UK time (the last 90 minutes of my fiancée's whining has somewhat prolonged this post!) I end this communication with the reason I created it.
We do not need big muscles to be fearless, nor big weapons of any description. Neither would state of the art security sufficiently mitigate our primordial impulses. We only need the love of that unquantifiable and unfalsifiable being that creates, sustains and destroys every illusory aspect that it expresses. Itself however remains throughout and beyond and is lying there sublimely humble and patient for our reaching hand. Ready to spring through us when we feel our consent can be committed to. Our consent to serve.
Be merry and sprinkle that s**t around! I had no Idea I would touch someone tonight, and as Carla Rueckert can truly testify, when your heart is full of praise for the origins of that indescribable sensation, the original vibration within you tickles you in a way that brings previously assumed conceptual expressions like awe, wonder and majesty a tangible meaning. The great work goes on as Ra said,like a train on an uphill climb getting illogically faster and faster, rotating ever speedier up a cone shaped mountain with no peak in sight. Summed up with more ever incalculable delight.
During a time of personal awakening and upheaval back in the summer of 2001 I pleaded with the blue sky above "What is Real!?" (to be precise it was on July 4th and my subconscious was in auto pilot as I had truly broken down)
4 Words immediately entered my mind and I will capitalise each one to emphasise the meaning...
Remember Everything Always Love.
An acronym! I thought, that doesn't make any bloody sense! An impossible standard to aspire to. What has this to do with my confusion about reality!? But once I had felt the love of the infinite creator, it made perfect, whole and complete sense.
A pure and undistorted state of beingness would encompass a perfect memory and an unconditional and undeviating sense of compassion and joy.
I cant wait to transcend time and space so I can feel this acronym for all eternity!
So be who you truly are if only for a moment, for that moment will be permanently etched into the on going sculpture of the greatest and grandest artist shaping and defining itself as each portion becomes aware of its own creative involvement, creating the future with each measured choice.
Be your REAL self, be the Christ at Christmas
