A MIRACLE MOMENT
Fish from Heaven
|
This is a true story as amazing
as it may seem. God speaks in mysterious ways, and there is an inspired
truth here for those who cherish the Spirit that matters most for a
world in transition. Back in the summer of 2005, I took a group of eight young adults camping up to a high mountain lake full of cutthroat trout. It took about four hours to hike up with full gear and my two sons and I caught a trout for everyone, cooking them over an open fire with toasted sesame oil and a hearty blend of wild rice. The fun we had around the campfire, sharing our lives in a pristine wilderness area shared with mountain goats and grizzly bears, was exhilarating. As an Eagle Scout, I had spent a lot of time in the woods and hiking through wilderness, but I'd never experienced such a perfect moment that was so magical with the mix of nature and youth on the threshold of life. Waking early the next morning and starting the fire while everyone slumbered, I got breakfast going and left to catch some trout before hiking out. Unlike the day before, they weren't biting. There was a mystical stillness on the waters and a thick veil of level cloud had descended to about 20 feet over the lake. I felt like I was sandwiched between heaven in earth. There was a palpable sense of the sacred that my fishing seemed to interrupt.
Going into a a reverie with the mood of the moment, I made a call to the
universe, God, whatever... to give me a sign that I was really
connected... with a fish... if the Great Spirit would allow this. There
was pure intent with full expectation and anticipation that it would be
so, by the grace of Spirit. |

It was flying low across
the lake in front of me when a bald eagle came flying at the osprey from
straight across the lake... with obvious intent to get that fish. As the
eagle approached the osprey, it began flying over in my direction to get
away. And just as the eagle swooped at the osprey, it dropped the trout
on the bank right in front of me! Flopping towards the lake, I
immediately grabbed it, marveling at the miracle of the moment. While still in awe with this good fortune, I picked up my fishing pole and found another trout on the end of it! Reeling it in, I cast again and caught another one. In quick succession, I caught my days limit of five. Sharing this experience back at the campfire was met with a mix of awe and incredulity. Who would have thought that a fish would drop out of heaven in answer to a simple prayer. As I've always told my kids, we get what we ask for whether we know it or like it or not... but this was off the chart. I've studied the mysteries of nature and Co-creation with the Great Spirit for many years and know that what we pray for with pure intent is not seldom the prelude of the manifestation. I think everyone knows --
in their heart of hearts -- that the future is what we make it.
I went up to that mountain lake with pure intent to show my kids and
their friends what life was REALLY about. I didn't know how to do that,
but my intent was pure, the environment was pure, and the magic of the
moment outpictured a higher lesson on the screen of life that only a
Higher Power can produce. Some would say that being wholly connected to "the fish" -- is symbolic. Indeed, one of the symbols of early Christianity. Other's would look past this symbolism with a more Buddhic appreciation of the process of desire fulfillment. Ultimately, not just for getting, but for giving. Not just "self elevation" (salvation) for oneself but for civilization at large. This is the Great Spirit at the heart of the miracle of the moment -- the instant-everywhere-interactive "connection" (mediator) for the Great Spirit of "All That Is", "God", "Higher Power", whatever. Embracing the miracle of the moment is the CHOICE that the living Spirit of Christic-Love mediation brings to the dense sense of separation and suffering -- the worldly world of victim dictum that revolves the "suffering sinner/saint syndrome" which never takes Christ off the cross nor affirms the resurrection and ascension of civilization. And yet, that is the CHOICE that our "global village" now has. Time and space are eliminated by our new instant-everywhere and interactive Net reality. The Family of Man has never been more connected. And "the fish" is the connection - the "mediator". Without vision -- the Net reality of "US" (United Sovereigns) in a global village-- the people perish. But with vision -- conscientious common sense centered in the Higher Power of greater LOVE -- the love of power of power elite potentates is checked and balanced as the power of love raises mankind as kind men.
"Where
love rules,
there is no will to power.
And where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other." - Father of Modern Psychology, Carl Gustav Jung
It really is
a cosmic joke -- thinking we are in control while denying divine
solutions of Higher Power. Amazing that we don't see the natural
solution via pure intention for good as manifests through the whole,
holy or otherwise Great
Spirit of LOVE-in-action.
Such acknowledgement
and affirmation of Higher Power -- the
Spirit that matters -- always trumps human self-sabotage. The virtue in the
Constitution has always been the
Constitution of virtue. |
I hope those young adults got that message. I hope mature adults get
it.
The world is what we
make it. And we "go to" where we're "coming from".
All
Ways Victory When
LOVE is
the Vehicle,

THE MIRACLE IN THE POWER OF LOVE
"Man can harness the winds, the waves and the tides,
but when he can harness the
power of love,
then for the second time in the history of the world,
man will have discovered fire."
