The Magic of Oneness

I feel honoured to be invited by my esteemed friend Sam to write an “Article of Virtue”.

This is my first public article… an important turning point on my path of life!

“Oneness” is a heartfelt subject to me! So, let’s start in considering the following quote:

“See… the Light of Love which is in all. You will find a magic, living relationship uniting the trees, the sky, the stars, all people, and all living things; and, you will feel oneness with them.” – Paramahansa Yogananda

You certainly read similar quotes… but, have you reflected on the nature of this mystical link? Have you felt that special bond… with a plant or a pet; with a tree or an animal?

Indigenous people were close to Nature, knowledgeable about the specific characteristics of plants or birds, sky or earth. Native Americans even considered animals as Totems venerating all of their special attributes. In the 1990’s, I was very close to Native Amerindians Spirituality. I experienced this Mystical Link in many ways and occasions. Let me share one with you…

On a Sunday morning, after having spent the night in Nature around a “Sacred Fire”, I lead a small group of people on an excursion to the top of a close by mountain. We were open-minded to Nature manifestations that could enlighten our individual growth path. Reaching destination without noticeable form of manifestation, we gathered in circle at a wonderful spot overlooking the valley. I started playing drum and singing vibratory songs to connect with Nature and the Universe.

While talking with people, the drum on my knees, an insect fell like a rock straight on the drum. I had no idea where it came from and, completely immobile, it looked dead. I was surprised and amazed! Looking closer, I discovered Pure Beauty… this insect looked like it had been carved in pure gold. I had never seen anything like this before.

Later, I found out it was a “Gold Beetle”.

I circulated the drum around so everyone could admire her beauty. Very respectfully, each one had a chance to meticulously contemplate.

The drum back in hands, I started talking to the insect:

“Friend, you are magnificent! Thank you for visiting here today, allowing us to see all of your splendour, and making this amazing connection with us. If you are dead, I will bring you home and place you on my altar symbolizing this connection with the Universe; if you are alive, time has come to fly back into Nature.”
The Gold Insect started moving, opened her wings and disappeared in the Wild. Everyone marvelled at what had just happened before their eyes.

My deepest desire is that people respect themselves and any form of life, take time to live fully, connect with and feel this mystical link with their surroundings. So often time I felt tears running down my cheeks feeling all the Love from such Oneness Encounter.

Blessings to you all my friends!

A Need to Read!

A Matter Of Choice

It is unbelievable to me that almost 2 years have passed since I wrote “Dream Big” at the prodding of our illustrious Sam. Now, when I read that article I think “Did I really write that?” Folks, I wasn’t a writer then, and I am still not. According to my good friend Branka, I am the Queen of Simplicity. That I am! I don’t do a lot of analyzing or philosophizing simply because once I do, I cannot make a decision for the life of me. Everything gets jumbled and confused.

For the last couple of weeks, I have been unemployed for the first time in my life. By the end of this month, the projections are that more than 10% of the population in the US will be out of work. Wow! That sure does not make it a piece of cake to find new employment now, does it?
