Reflection by Michael Black
This refection was written to me in the form of an e-mail by my long time friend Michael Black. I received it before I had posted the description of "The Living Matrix" on this blogsite, but the theme of his message--the underlying unity and interconnectedness of all things--mirrors the essential thrust of the movie itself. "Oneness" itself is not a new topic, for it has been described and experienced by mystics from the beginnings. What is new, I believe, is the emergence of this notion into widespread consciousness, as we all move into higher levels of awareness.
Michael mentions a group that has arisen for the purpose of meditating and doing healing work together. His small circle contains representatives from many parts of the world and from many backgrounds. As a collective, they will be strengthened to offer more to the world than any one of them might do alone.
When I had my early awakening experience, I wrote in my journal of a vision of the future, what I called "collective consciousness." I defined this as small groups of kindred spirits or souls working together in a way to benefit earth. I was thinking more of those who had left the planet and were working from a higher realm, but here is an example of the same thing happening right on earth itself.
Here is Michael's letter/essay:
A process of planetary mytosis is unfolding, in which consciousness is subdividing the old matrix from the new, the former, once atomized parts from the utterly interdependent whole. It is the moment of entering into Divine communion with one another, while simultaneously shining each of our respective brilliance. It's time for discrete facets of Divine consciousess to be informed through the vehicle of collective visioning, union.
The process that is unfolding at San Francisco's Hanuman Center is that of a group of souls choosing to sit together, daily, quietly, in deep meditation, while serving as a common portal for redreaming the present. May our Divine light shine through the collective fields that we construct, from which consciousness chooses to reveal itself anew.
And may each of us, individually, be inspired to write, paint, draw and dance our way into the Light that we are, being Divinely held as all remain, by a Holy Earth, within a Holy Milky Way, within a Holy Universe, enveloped by infinitely extending Holy Universes.
