INDRA’S NET

Throughout the universe there is a net stretching to infinity. The horizontal parts of the net are placed in space; the vertical in time. Everywhere these cross each other there is an individual. Every individual is represented as an irreplaceable jewel in the net. Infinite light enlightens and penetrates each jewel. Every jewel reflects not only the light of all other jewels in the net, but also every other reflection. And So….

There is One Life, One Eternal Presence. This Life is God, this Life is perfect, and this Life is my life now. I recognize and celebrate Eternal Presence being reflected in every breath and in every moment. I acknowledge that everyone and everything in all of existence is affected by the simple deed of One and where the strands of Indras Net come together, there are countless, stunningly beautiful multi­faceted jewels. Every single jewel reflects humanity as a Whole and me as a part of that Whole. Each jewel carries the reflection of the Whole for there is no separation. The capacity to reflect all things attests to the mind being a mirror of reality. The fact that all jewels are simply a reflection of all others, implies that appearances are thus not reality but a reflection of reality.

And what I know for sure is that whatever affects One affects the Whole for we are connected. A simple helpful act, a simple act of kindness sends ripples of positive energy touching every jewel, every person, reverberating Goodness and Truth throughout the entire net. Like a glowing jewel in Indra’s net, those reflections of ALL shine out and through. The points of connection find their place, and everything hums in perfection. Everything aligns with the Universal Mind knowing that in the greater view we are merely allowing it to take place, for this is the natural course.

I give thanks for my part in being a jewel in the net and for the awakening to old thought patterns and for the awareness to release everything that is not serving my Highest Good right here and now. I delight in being an awake and alert instrument of Eternal Presence in the universal net.

My heart is filled to overflowing with deep gratitude in the knowing that as I speak my Word into the Law, IT IS DONE. IT IS COMPLETE. AND SO IT IS!
