A whirlwind of energy is tossing Einstein in tumult … He has no idea whether he is up, down, or sideways … or if there is such a thing as ‘direction’ … His consort is chaos. In the next moment he is drifting in a still but ominous dark night sky … Or it could be a black hole? He can not tell.
Einstein:
Where am I? What is happening?
A serpent like movement of tones – seems to rise from chaos itself to enter the stillness of the dark. Einstein’s nonexistent body shudders as the words vibrate into his core …
If you are the dealer, I’m out of the game
If you are the healer, it means I’m broken and lame
If thine is the glory then mine must be the shame
You want it darker
We kill the flame
Magnified, sanctified, be thy holy name
Vilified, crucified, in the human frame
A million candles burning for the help that never came
You want it darker
Hineni, hineni
I’m ready, my lord
There’s a lover in the story
But the story’s still the same
There’s a lullaby for suffering
And a paradox to blame
But it’s written in the scriptures
And it’s not some idle claim
You want it darker
We kill the flame
They’re lining up the prisoners
And the guards are taking aim
I struggled with some demons
They were middle class and tame
I didn’t know I had permission to murder and to maim
You want it darker
Hineni, hineni
I’m ready, my lord
Magnified, sanctified, be thy holy name
Vilified, crucified, in the human frame
A million candles burning for the love that never came
You want it darker
We kill the flame
If you are the dealer, let me out of the game
If you are the healer, I’m broken and lame
If thine is the glory, mine must be the shame
You want it darker
Hineni, hineni
Hineni, hineni
I’m ready, my lord
Hineni
Hineni, hineni
Hineni
(Leonard Cohen)
Einstein loses consciousness as he surrenders to the tones … their words … and the ‘between’ of tones and words … He awakens to himself surrounded by flowers slow dancing with a caressing breeze in the dew of morning, as the sun dazzles them with its undulating blaze …
Einstein:
Earth. I’m somewhere on earth … in the beauty of these rolling hills filled with wild flowers … Where am I?
Einstein can see someone approaching him at a distance in these blissful fields. As this visitant moves closer, he knows … And in a blink, the Old One Crone is staring into his eyes. She is close enough for him to hear Her breath. Einstein gasps.
Old One Crone:
Being so close, eye to eye, is disconcerting, is it not? Especially when you have had no time to prepare. Do you know what I mean when I say, ‘prepare’?
Einstein:
Well I think it means that I would position myself in some way. Or I might put on certain lenses to perceive the moment differently than the lenses that I have used, for instance, at the huge gathering along with Anais Nin, Maya Angelou, and Virginia Woolf.
Old One Crone:
There is an automatic response to hide yourself from those around you. It is a good choice to do so with most humans on earth. They would be frightened in a way that could send them catapulting into change for which they could not find balance. This could cause harm to them.There are beings of light on earth who have disguised themselves as normal human beings for a good reason.
But I am also suggesting that you want to hide from who you really Are. Part of who you Are … is being held in the shadows… because you are afraid to admit … to accept … more of the mystery of the magnificence of you/You.
You retreat until you are ready again to take another look … When you enter the shadows and accept that you are magnificent, more powerful … more loving than you have believed or imagined … in that ‘between’ of a moment – you change. You become a different ‘being’ … where the More that before was held in the shadows … becomes a part of you/You … Your ‘world’ is a reflection of who, what, how and why you are allowing yourself to accept and know … who you Are.
Einstein:
I can see the challenge of being willing to accept the majesty and magnificence of who I really Am … I’m also wondering about the world on earth in 2018? They are going through a very disturbing time.
Old One Crone:
People on earth have time. When they put down old measuring devices and see through new lenses that reflect more of what is good and true … more of beauty … they will also see more clearly that which is not good and true … what is not beauty. As they address this, with authority … their lives and the lives of others in their world … can change as if out of the blue …
They can slip into a ‘between’ of their mostly linear time and 4 dimensional space. This is where change can happen. They will not necessarily know that they have changed. Yet they can transcend in a moment … and their life will be a little different … whether or not they register this.
Einstein:
I … along with Anais Win, Maya Angelou, and Virginia Woolf … have been observing a gathering in the United States of America after the democrats have gained some majority in congress. These people are more hopeful and some are speaking out about how they see their current president,Trump. They are speaking about congress … about the threats and potential harm for their country from Trump and his White House and Republican Congress … Mueller has clearly exposed incontestable corruptness. Maybe a new government for the people can begin.
Old One Crone:
You are seeing their world through their measuring devices. This is important for you to have deeper understanding.
There are also different perceptions of those who support the president. Yes he does manipulate people, no doubt. But his followers see the world from different lenses and it is important to understand them too, not to help them gain more power, but to understand why they are so easy to manipulate so that they can find different ways to feel safe?
They may be seeing the world as an unfriendly place which can take them down unless they take control first. Maybe they believe that Trump’s method of manipulation is better than the manipulation they perceive from ‘those democrats’ who want to make them pay for every one else’s health plan … and who are trying to take their guns away so that they lose what little protection they now perceive themselves to have …. or who want them to give up their money to support people they believe to be lazy and not responsible for their own lives. It could be that their view of responsible people … is that they take care of their own. If they need others to help them with their lives, then that is a sign of weakness.
Einstein:
Well why do they give their power over to billionaires who make it harder for them to make it on their own … The billionaires and Trump mostly seduce them to capture their attention … so that they can take more power from them without them noticing.
Old One Crone:
You are looking at it all from the human’s perspective. Yes, it seems dark. And many of those ‘in power’ now want it dark because they believe that this is the only way that they can have what they want. And they want to be safe.
They want to grab the resources because they view resources as limited and they don’t want to go down with the rest of ‘them’. They do not relate themselves to be part of any compassionate or caring society … or to feel a deep sense of belonging and trust with something ‘more’ than them …
They have organized religions, but the religions also want them to surrender their power to them. And many of these religions have sold themselves to politics and to the current government.
They don’t realize that they are not separate from the world … that every thing they feel, think … every action … has impact on most everything around them even when they can’t see it immediately.
Those in power set up guises to lure people to join them on their side … to gain more power for themselves … to again feel safe … and sadly this can happen at the expense of the very people who join them. But this is how they may see life … ‘if you don’t grab what you can take of the power … others will do so and then you will have no power or control so that you can be safe and have what you want to be happy or at least content’.
Einstein:
So are you saying that Trump is trying to make the people think that they are safe if they follow him, so that he can get what he wants, so that he will feel safe? Even if it is at their expense. Does he care whether they are safe in the world?
Old One Crone:
Trump wants the people to think that they are safe with him, whether they are or not. In fact if they are not thinking and doing what he wants them to, he will make sure that they feel unsafe. Because he needs all those people to follow him so that he feels safe and so that he can be in control. When he is in ‘total’ control, his belief is that then and only then will he be ‘completely’ safe.
Einstein:
But that is not true.
Old One Crone:
That is correct. But he does not believe that. He is living in a very ‘frightening’ world that will take him down if he does not get it all under control and run things himself. Because there is NO one who can truly be trusted.
And there is another consideration … that Trump must seduce his followers to give their power over to him … to elevate him … to relate to him as their ‘savior’. He needs this in order to hide his insecurities and to hide that he does not have a strong sense of self.
Einstein:
What is in the bigger picture?
Old One Crone:
This is the question to ask. Well in some ways the answer is an individual one for each human in that individual humans can respond with love and acceptance instead of attempting to manipulate or control.
You have been with Maya Angelou … I recall a beautiful moment during her time on earth. Maya was on a movie set and there was a young man cursing at others because he was furious after the LA riots. Maya asked him if she could speak. He said I wouldn’t give a f … and kept cursing. She kept asking.
Then she put her arms around his waist and said, “When did someone tell you that you are the best we have. We need you desperately. Did you know that our people stood on auction blocks for you … that they got up at sunrise and worked to sunset … so that you could be here?”
She walked him down an incline and continued talking with him as he cried.
She found out later that his name was Tupac Amaru Shakur, a famous rapper. It changed him. She chose in that moment to love him, by helping him to feel a sense of belonging … and to feel that his life had meaning and significance …
There is something happening in the world that could be a missed opportunity unless some of the people can wake up and embrace new ways of being … of being alive … more present … more conscious … of loving in new ways …
An old world is dying. The government of the US is unravelling so that it can fall apart and be woven new out of the frayed of the old … It will be woven with the hopes and dreams of those who have future visions … of the Unknown and the Unfathomable … There are futures out there that are so beautiful, they can not yet be imagined or believed. These futures are happening now. Very few people can access them because they are so frightened of the unknown/Unknown … They are terrified of the Unfathomable.
When people are unravelling … when their world is ‘falling apart’ … when they feel unfamiliar to themselves … it is not going to look pretty. This is what is happening now on earth.
Einstein:
How can I help?
Old One Crone:
Well we talk together about things that humans for the most, can not yet hear … but as you can find those who are open to have greater understanding … who can hold their current events also within the context of having greater perspective … who can be open to futures that they can not yet imagine or believe … then you can help them be more able and willing to receive from these vast future energies … as well as from the Love and Light that is available to help them. This can initiate a force that not only changes the world on earth … but changes things at levels that we can not describe to you … yet.
The truth is that there is no problem too big for any one on earth to walk away from. If they will listen with intention of learning and understanding … then they can open enough to let something More in to help them … If only a very few will do this, monumental and profound change can happen in a moment.
Spirituality is about breaking systems that need to evolve so that these systems can become more complex … their resonance can lift to new levels … This creates new order.And out of this new order, a new reality is created … beyond what humans could consciously create themselves.
Einstein:
There is a verse I heard someone quoting in the huge gathering we explored after the US midterm elections. It comes to my mind in this moment:
“Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in.”
(Leonard Cohen)
Something More … beyond human understanding … can come in as we allow our cracks …
Old One Crone:
Yes. It does not help to wait for the ‘perfect’ thing to do … Instead, let confusion be an ally …let self-doubt shake things up until you move beyond it … and give ‘who you are’ – through your creations in the world.Something opens here and there … as you crack …And the Light can get in … Something beyond what you can imagine or believe … can be born in you and in your creations … This can change you … It can change the human world … and beyond …
People need to take their power back from those in authority. They need to have their own authority … not ‘over’ but ‘with’. When more people end their habits of attempting to control and dominate others … when they realize that they are not really separate from anyone or anything in their world … they can leap into this new journey … They will be able to perceive their world in ways that are now inconceivable to them.
Humans will open to a Love that they have never known … and in this, they will find more of who they Are.Love is calling … and those who are ready will respond …
It is all about Love, Albert. It has always been and will always be about Love. It is just that Love is beyond anything that you can fathom. You can’t name Love in its Essence … It could have no name … You begin with what you know of love … then let that go … be naked and unknown to yourself … let yourself fall apart again … until you don’t know who you are… Allow the cracks to let in the Light … the Light of the Divine … of GodGoddessAllThatIs … Universal Light …
Out of the blue … that melodious voice that Einstein heard in the darkness … comes through with different tones in the light of flowered dew …
Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic till I’m gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Oh, let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
We’re both of us beneath our love, we’re both of us above
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic till I’m gathered safely in
Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
[Leonard Cohen]
