“We live together, we act on, and react to, one another; but always and in all circumstances we are by ourselves. The martyrs go hand in hand into the arena; they are crucified alone. Embraced, the lovers desperately try to fuse their insulated ecstasies into a single self-transcendence; in vain. By its very nature every embodied spirit is doomed to suffer and enjoy in solitude. Sensations, feelings, insights, fancies — all these are private and, except through symbols and at second hand, incommunicable. We can pool information about experiences, but never the experiences themselves. From family to nation, every human group is a society of island universes.” — Aldous Huxley, The Doors of Perception.

LETTING GO
*artwork by Adriane Enns*
Just for today:
Re-connect with a current intention, letting go of who,
where, what, why or how will make this manifest Now.
Simply rest for a moment to witness waves of
appreciation, flowing through all creation, ~ evanescent
sparks from the center of our hearts ~ returning to
journey as messenger, message, and Sage.
***
Go Gratitude!
***
Imagine Gratitude as a wave, flowing to grow beyond you.
Now listen to the heartbeat within … taking you beyond
thought to a place of Being. Allow space to rest in this place
of creation – quietly immersing to disperse wisdom, power
and Love within.
Consider recording or sharing what emerges, in order to
create a reference point – a Gauge for you, and others, too,
to note our progress as we manifest miracles through
Gratitude.
***
Through the words of another time, the ancients invited
us to embrace our lost mode of prayer as a
consciousness that we become, rather than a
prescribed form of action that we perform upon
occasion. In words that are as simple as they are elegant,
we are reminded to be “surrounded” by the answer to our
prayers and “enveloped” by the conditions that we choose
to experience. In the modern idiom, this description
suggests to us that to effect change in our world, we are
invited to first have the feelings of the change
having happened.

This morning my mind flashed to one of my favorite quotes by Aldous Huxley:
We live together, we act on, and react to, one another; but always and in all circumstances we are by ourselves. The martyrs go hand in hand into the area; they are crucified alone. Embraced, the lovers desperately try to fuse their insulated ecstasies into a single self-transcendence; in vain. By its very nature every embodied spirit is doomed to suffer and enjoy in solitude. Sensations, feelings, insights, fancies — all these are private and, except through symbols and at second hand, incommunicable. We can pool information about experiences, but never the experiences themselves. From family to nation, every human group is a society of island universes.
The works of Aldous Huxley have given me pause for much thought over the past 35 years or so. Bits and pieces of quote above have remained in my mind since the first time I read it in Huxley’s The Doors Of Perception.
My favorite collection of Huxley’s work is not his fiction, but “Huxley and God.”
