The following was sent to me by one of my most influential spiritual mentors, Reverend Linda Finley of the Eugene Center for Spiritual Living
Love is the New Religion
From the book The Big Glow by Brian Piergrossi
On the surface of the world right now
there is war and violence and things seem dark
But calmly and quietly, at the same time,
something else is happening underground
An inner revolution is taking place
and certain individuals are being called to a higher light
It is a silent revolution
From the inside out
From the ground up
It is time for me to reveal myself
I am an embedded agent of a secret, undercover Clandestine Global
operation
A spiritual conspiracy
We have sleeper cells in every nation on the planet
You won't see us on the T.V.
You won't read about us in the newspaper
You won't hear about us on the radio
You may never meet us
We never seek any glory
We never wear any uniform
We come in all shapes and sizes
Colors and styles
Most of us work anonymously
Some are more visible in print
We are quietly working behind the scenes in every country and
culture of the world
Cities big and small, mountains and valleys, in farms and villages,
tribes and remote islands
You could pass by one of us on the street and not even notice us
We go undercover
We remain behind the scenes
It is of no concern to us who takes the final credit
Rather simply ensure the work gets done
Occasionally we spot each other in the streetWe give a quiet nod and continue on our way so no one will notice
During the day many of us pretend we have normal jobs
But behind the false storefront at night is where the real work
takes place
Some call us the 'Conscious Army'
We are slowly creating a new world with the power of our minds and
hearts
We follow, with passion and joy
Our orders from the Central Command
The Spiritual Intelligence Agency
We are dropping soft, secret love bombs when no one is looking
Poems
Hugs
Music
Photography
Movies
Kind words
Smiles
Meditation and prayer
Dance
Social activism
Websites
Blogs
Random acts of kindness
We each express ourselves in our own unique ways with our own unique
gifts and talents
'Be the change you want to see in the world'
That is the motto filling our hearts
We know it is the only way real transformation takes place
We know quietly and humbly we have the power of all the oceans
combined
Our work is slow and meticulous
Like the formation of mountains
It is not even visible at first glance
And yet with it, entire tectonic plates shall be moved in the
centuries to comeLove is the new religion of the 21st century
You don't have to be a highly educated person
Or have any exceptional knowledge to understand it
It comes from the intelligence of the heart
Embedded in the timeless evolutionary pulse of all human beings
Be the change you want to see in the world
Nobody else can do it for you
We are now recruiting
Perhaps you will join us
Or already have....
All are welcome...
The door is open ~~

was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."
-Anais Nin


I'm so glad you reprinted this Kathleen
It really captures what is happening all over the world. While many are struggling with all of the fear messages, others are shifting from fear to faith. For me, it's a daily practice to look at what is happening in my life and all around me with positive expectation, love and gratitude without slipping into my stories and dramas.
I say YES to peace and love!
Cheers,
Lorraine
