Living from the inside, out

As promised, the next Trance Dance in Vancouver is on Sunday Dec 12th!  Check out Facebook (TranceDance Vancouver) for details. 

This last month was deeply moving.  I visited Denver (where I am headed again next week) and meditated in the Red Rock Amphitheatre for an hour.  Well, actually, I meditated for about thirty mintues before the sun-drenched rock I sat upon enticed me to lie down and have a nap. 

It may sound strange, but I can communicate with rocks.  Even if they just say, "I have nothing to say to you," I still hear them. 

The red rocks had a lot to say to me when I sat there and listened.  They pointed out to me how special it was that I can communicate with rocks, trees, streams, birds and four-leggeds.  And they told me I have the ability to speak for them.  And as I heard this, I felt empowered and more conscious of my responsibility in the world.

Last night I attended a four-hour talk with Wayne Dyer at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver.  The theatre was half full with almost 2,000 people!  Big place.  I was called to be there - my first time going to a Wayne Dyer event.  He prepped the audience for three hours to give his real message, an insight he first got about four months ago and has been researching ever since.

It's a profound message, a new message for him, unlike anything he has talked about in the past.  He used several references to back his message, including the Torah and New Testament, stories of the Buddha and references to other spiritual writings.  He warned that not everyone was going to like his message.  A few people actually picked up their coats and bags and left early as he began to give hints. 

Do you want to know what his message was?  It finally came down to three powerful words, 

"You are God." 

Wayne had already pointed out that when asked for His name by Moses, God replied, "I AM."  And when Moses needed clarification and asked God who "I AM" is, God simply responded, "I AM THAT I AM."

So I challenge you to say the name of God, "I AM" and "I AM THAT I AM" without implicating Yourself with Divinity! 

Last night, for the second time in my life, I felt incredibly humbled by the name of God.  My own spark of divinity grew bigger and more real to me than ever and with it, so did the divinity in everyone else.
