On Becoming

 Only the whole carries the Mystery. A single individual - one part alone is too small, too temporal, too isolated, too insecure to carry the weight of life’s journey alone. 


Integral consciousness looks more like a holon than a hierarchal power structure where one lords over the other. The sum of the whole equals its parts. Becoming holistic, in part and in whole, will lend to greater expressions of equity and equality. 


The process of becoming whole is an invitation into paradox, a dance of tension between the uncertainties of life and the certainty of Divine Love. Love moves us from a conditioned transactional response of begging the Divine Magic Genie or other human beings to rescue, fix, deliver us from pain, send money quick to participation in other centered, self giving relationships based on mutuality. 


Becoming is not a place we arrive at. It is saying yes to an on-going, infinite evolutionary process that is lived out day to day as we dance with love. Love is our True Self. The one who fears has not come into wholeness in the matter of being loved. Becoming is the journey from fear to love.


Becoming is our unique expression of Love thrumming its song and weaving its thread through us individually as we participate with the Divine in service to others. Billions of scores blended together in Love creating a cosmic symphony, one masterful tapestry. We are a part of the ocean and the ocean is a part of us or as the Wisdom Teacher Jesus says, we are vines in living union with the branch as our Source. 


Sit With It:

  1. If it’s more about how we journey through the process of becoming than it is about arriving at some point, could there be a greater purpose to your being here than what you thought?
  2. What does Love look like expressed through my life?
  3. What does Love spilled over look like in our community today?
  4. In what ways am I becoming? How have I recognized myself as part of the whole? 
  5. How am I coming into wholeness in the matter of being loved?
