All evidence points to the eternal existence of everything. Light is a wave that fills the Universe. Light is energy which cannot be destroyed. Light interacts in three ways: Absorption, Reflection, Transmission

Light always interacts in all three ways since no contact can take in, bounce off or pass through all light.

Which is to say the Universe is filled with our light. Eternally. Always.

Everywhere we are

All at once there are no bounds

Of eternal bliss

🙏Namaste🙏Michael🙏

You knocked it out of the park with this one Rob. I love and agree with everything you say here. I think you should also turn it into a stand-alone zine or something that people can happen upon and be transformed. Wonderful.

Another reason it would make a great zine is that it's such a good primer on these ideas--perfect the the uninitiated!!

Last night & this morning I noticed the singular light in a red maple in my yard, calling to me. Then I read your newsletter, & shortly after a quote from this poem in another…

The Bright Field

I have seen the sun break through

to illuminate a small field

for a while, and gone my way

and forgotten it. But that was the

pearl of great price, the one field that had

treasure in it. I realise now

that I must give all that I have

to possess it. Life is not hurrying

on to a receding future, nor hankering after

an imagined past. It is the turning

aside like Moses to the miracle

of the lit bush, to a brightness

that seemed as transitory as your youth

once, but is the eternity that awaits you.

- R.S. Thomas Laboratories of the Spirit (1975)

I completely agree. There is a field, we are it, and we all affect it continuously. It’s where synchronicity comes from. Carl Jung said (paraphrasing) that nothing is lost, it’s all in the collective unconscious. Thank you for sharing your continued joy and optimism with us each week, much appreciated.

“She is a serene and cagey Buddha Elf!”

I don’t even know you and I love you, Rob Brezsny!!

Why?

Because you give us so much light and HOPE!

“Anyone who has tasted these imperishable moments knows: Consciousness doesn’t merely observe reality. It sanctifies it. By our complete presence, our full recognition, our grateful receiving, we transform temporal experiences into deathless treasures. We become co-creators of an enduring archive.”

YES!!

“We carry eternity within us, and eternity isn’t empty.”

🙏🙏🙏❤️🌷

Thank you…

Thank you for always finding a way to express the subtleties of existence. A shared experience like a tuning fork, the inner sense of truth. May we all arise into the limitless skies as homing pigeons, forever on our way!

"That perfect moment will live forever in my immortal soul. It will live forever in the Anima Mundi, the World Soul, too, because I noticed it, honored it, celebrated it, and offered it up to Her as a gift from my awareness to hers." I LOVE THIS POST, your writing is wonderful about these matters. THANKYOU so much for persevering with love.

p.s. I've got your first edition Pronoia. I used to be able to pick up newspapers here in Ottawa Canada, and find your astrology column (for at least 25 years) . I wonder if Meidas network would add you to their growing contributors. ...

I have resonated with Rodney Collin’s description of the soul body, as we spiral through time, like all planetary bodies, the moments of being awake are like lights on that spiral and that spiral body of awareness/light is our soul. Light it up! And thank you Rob - I loved your Jung Buddha dialogue, tho I thought Jung a bit interruptively rude, but you have brought light and humor to my toe dipping into Buddhism.

Yes, Rob, eternal moments exist on individual and collective level. Stepping stones for reality transparent in time.
