In the center of this divine fabric hung a massive sparkling green jewel, whose inner facets were illuminated by the golden light. Golden rays of light shone on them, illuminating their magnificence. In a dreamlike wakefulness, an image arose from within of a vertical field of sparkling gems very near me. It was the breastplate of a tall deity, covered in pearls, diamonds, rubies, and sapphires. In great excitement before Sweet Surprise, sleep eluded me. Gurumayi’s Message for 2024 has given me a means to practice such awareness as I go about my life. When that recognition is alive in my awareness, I sense that my breath is not “mine,” but rather an expression of God’s benevolent presence and blessing. To follow the third line of the Message, I acknowledge that I am, in fact, the One taking this particular form, seeing through my eyes, hearing through my ears. My experience of the Message’s second line is strongest when I open myself to the blissful experience of Consciousness in the form of awareness itself, of recognizing the Self as “I am.” To revel in that divine light of the Self is, for me, to be deeply “open to grace.” When that awareness arises, it infuses my experience of “dignity” with a sense of the profound worthiness of everyone and everything, including myself. The first line of Gurumayi’s Message for 2024 evokes for me a stance of worthiness that I find invites the intuitive awareness of the light of the One in all. A feeling of deep gratitude arose, and a prayer: May I continue to serve my Guru and our beautiful planet as steadily and strongly as the trees in her exquisite Message Artwork. Then my experience of being a tree cycled through the seasons from the glory of fall to the spareness and deep rest of winter and the awakening of spring. I had an understanding of the incredible service that trees provide through these homes, their shade, their networking, and much more. I felt birds making their nests in my branches and squirrels making a home in my trunk. I experienced the gentleness of breezes, the power of winds, the brilliance of sunshine, and the blazing blue beauty of the sky. I began to have the experience of being a tree in summer, dressed in thousands of gorgeous leaves. I took to heart Gurumayi’s guidance to physicalize her Message.Īs I stood in tadasana, I felt the energy of the earth rising up through the soles of my feet my body developed more steadiness and strength up to the crown of my head.
