The Osprey and the Eagle

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.

This last summer (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.  Being in a rather "cosmic space" in a reverie with a moodiness in the weather that had changed abruptly and was threatening rain, 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 had just begun to sprinkle rain, and coming out of my reverie, I put my fishing pole down to go back to the camp and get my poncho when I heard a splash far across the lake.  I turned to see a big osprey struggling to get airborne with a huge trout . 

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. Before long I had my days limit of five.  Sharing this experience back at the campfire was met with a mix of awe and incredulity. But it really happened.

Who would have thought that a fish would drop out of heaven in answer to my silent call.  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 revelation, if not 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. 

Heaven knows that there are only divine solutions to human problems. The human condition is typically so "dense" that we don't realize how we are both the problem AND the solution... with free-will choice to know and BE the difference.  The worldly world has become so crazed with unnatural practices that we tolerate unnatural solutions to ungodly problems... and consider it "normal" -- the justice that "just is"... that gets along by going along with the downward spiral of "old world values" while failing to assert the upward spiral of  "new world virtues".

How many of us have "bought into" the baubles and trinkets of worldliness and sold our souls to the "matrix" of unreality that rewards pseudo-success with money and power... and feeds into the matrix of collective unreality that corrupts all our social, political and economic institutions... in the name of "good business"?

Love of the world and its values has always been enmity with otherworldliness and its virtues. The most difficult thing in the world is to remain non-attached to the worldly "norm" of politically correct thought, feeling and behavior that is morally wrong.

The cosmic joke is thinking there is any "security" (physically) without "purity" (virtue).  The Internet "web of consciousness" is just a mirror of who we are and what we see. It's like a giant brain connecting all the computer "brain cells" of the planet, but the only consciousness it has is the consciousness we bring to it.  "Net reality" is the whole point of connection -- the holy "whole" of BEING (BE IN God-love). 

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 Net reality.  The Family of Man has never been more connected.  And "the fish" is the connection - the "mediator".

Without purity -- the power of greater LOVE at the heart of networked CONSCIENCE -- there is no security.  Without vision -- the upgrade or our core Constitutional freedoms for all of "US" (United Sovereigns) -- 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.

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 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.

Pure intent with expectation and anticipation of good things to come does indeed become a self-fulfilling prophecy.  There is divine order in the universe and divine grace that blesses our consciousness, BEING and world when we have eyes to SEE what the poor in spirit are not able or willing to SEE.  In a free will universe, Greater LOVE is a choice.  We just need to connect with that "fish".

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."
- Teihard de Chardin

PS:  The Miracle of this Moment in Planetary History

It is the holy Spirit --  the MIRACLE of LOVE-in-action -- that will "re-frame" (reboot)
a New World in the New Testament Spirit of 'Love is for-giving', not for-getting.

The heart of the MIRACLE is the thought form at the heart of LOVE-centric TeLeComm.
It's time to "lock and load" the CONSCIENCE of greater LOVE in our consciousness,
BEING and world --  the heart of our connection whereby "We the People" are One.

  This is the TeLeComm process -- the Constitution of LOVE -- that will define, refine,
combine and shine our God-given gifts and talents in the New World of our
instant-everywhere-interactive connection... the miracle of the moment.

The virtue is in the vision -- a system that is the solution -- that can transition our social,
political and economic institutions into a global culture of Peace and Love.
Given the miracle of instant-everywhere-interactive TeLeComm,
a critical mass of awakening unto the solution could transform
the world in the virtual "twinkling of an eye" -- a REAL miracle.

So Take Heart.  LOVE beats war -- always has.

 "When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and
love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time
they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall -- think of it, ALWAYS."
 -- Mahatma Gandhi

The higher the concept of global grassroots interactive LOVE-in-action,
the greater the miracle of transformation that checks and balances
the inordinate love of power with the ordained power of love.

It's time that the web of Light and Love began mediating the World Wide Web
with the currency of conscience .

May it begin with "U.S." - United Sovereigns in the United State of LOVE,

"The idea that God is actively nurturing us so that we may grow up to be like Him
 brings us face to face with our laziness. Each of us represents the whole human race;
within each of us is the instinct for godhood and the hope of mankind,
and within each of us is the original sin of laziness."
- Dr Scott Peck from his bestseller, THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED


"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
 - Martin Luther King, Jr.

   "Humankind is standing precariously on the edge of its destiny.
 It will either rise to a paradigm change or experience decline
    and possible destruction. This is an unavoidable confrontation.
The options will be presented and the choices will be made."

Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it."
