Praying Made Easy. 7. Open to Oneness
Open to Oneness. Happy Holidays. Merry Christmas. Seasons Greetings.
Folks celebrate Christmas from a number of aspects. The one that has the most marvel and mystery for me is the aspect of Oneness. This holiday hails the arrival of Jesus, blessed by and with the Christ Spirit. That blessing allowed, encouraged, Jesus to live as One with God. Awesome.
This season gives us ample reason to consider that. I do. I long to know full-out the Oneness. To see and to feel beyond the history, the songs, the decorations and the gifts–and all of those bring me exceptional joy.
How can we know and celebrate Oneness? How can we toast the season, sing the carols, unwrap the presents, and surround that all with utter consciousness of being One? Not merely the unity of each of us with spirit. The unity among every one, all of us as One with God.
I get close. I know that two activities — one every morning, one at random frequency — help me move closer.
- Meditation with God. Through the years I’ve felt my meditation evolve from my trying to get through to God, trying to understand Spirit. By chanting a mantra and being mindful of simply being, I’ve come to feel as Ones. My chant is not to anyone. It is a a chant that frees me from feeling “I am separate. I am me.”
- Heart vision. Being very visual, I take special notice of many, many things each day. Lately I find ( and I’m not sure how or why its origin) when something especially catches my eye, I bring the seeing to my heart and feel its presence there. A unique experience of Oneness with what Is.
These things work for me. What works for you to be open to Oneness?
A Prayer for Oneness
Presence and Power,
I strive to move beyond human language
and let its words not put you “there” and me “here”.
Past the language that separates us
I celebrate Oneness.
Thank you that we understand the concept
and that we exert our spirit to know its reality.
These human bodies and the many, many facets
of our civilization impose a separation
that is not real.
We are One Being. We share one house: the universe
Our smile, our love, our peace know one reality
within our heart.
This beautiful season is for celebrating
that we are open to Oneness.
So it is. So we let it be. Amen.
Love and blessings,
