This Week’s Quotation:
“The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.”
—Psalm 24:1
The Earth Is the Lord’s—Staying with the Ancient Pulse
There are words in Scripture whose meaning seems to grow stronger in time.
Perhaps we are being asked to hear these words afresh—not simply as a statement of faith, but as an invitation for a new relationship with life itself.
We belong to something far more ancient than our cultures, institutions, religions, and systems of belief. There is an eternal universal pulse of spirit moving through creation, and through us, and the eternality of now.
Are we listening?
Can we stay open to what we hear?
Sece Foster’s reflection, Stay with it, speaks to something essential. In times of uncertainty and profound change, there is a temptation to become afraid, turn away, and seek immediate answers to what disturbs. But surely what is really needed is to: stay with the pulse of what is emerging from spirit.
We are living through a time-bending threshold. What is breaking down in the world as we know it cannot be repaired by simply returning to the assumptions that created it. Something more fundamental is calling for our participation.
Scripture speaks of a new Heaven and a new Earth. I hear this not as an invitation to escape from the world, but as a summons to participate in its recreative transformation—letting a new consciousness for a new humanity be born as we discover a renewed, inspired relationship with one another and the Earth, and feeling into the joy of the sacred mystery moving through all things.
This is where courage is required—to reclaim who we are as cocreators, pioneers, authors who seek to not control and predict the future but coauthor what is being written.
Attunement in the creative word offers us a profound practice for this time: listening deeply, discerning, responding, turning to source, and listening again. Increasingly, we know the difference between the noises of the world as we listen to the deeper pulse of life.
Perhaps the true leadership emerging in our time is less concerned with authority and certainty, and more focused in presence, mystery, courage, service, and the capacity to midwife what is emerging: being more attuned to the direction coming from life itself with the capacity to midwife what is true and beautiful birthing anew.
We may not know the whole path. Perhaps we only need enough light for the next step.
Let us join together in a cosmic birthing of a New Heaven and a New Earth.
What Is Attunement?
Attunement is a consciousness practice and an energy medicine practice that leads to personal spiritual regeneration.
Yes, Anne-Lise. I am staying with the PULSE of what is emerging via what you have written, via what you refer to from Sece, via David’s service, and via what comes through the heart of spirit right now. Thank you/bless you/with you/love you. Tom C. (in Oahu)
What a wonderful invitation, Anne-Lise, to birth a New Heaven and a New Earth. And this will not come by trying to politically, economically, militarily and culturally fix the “world out there.” It will only come, as you bring out, by engaging with the power of Attunement, which to me means bringing the Ordering Power of Love at the core of my Being into everything that comes to me in the course of a day. THANK YOU!
