CONCERNING THE SPIRIT AND THE BODY
Christopher


printable version

Holy: The Messengers are many.

(breath)

The Purposes are great.
You have called and the Spirit of the Holy shall answer.
Shall I tell you about the body and the Spirit?
Shall I tell you about the Spirit in the body, about the Spiritual Body?

(breath)

The Spirit and the body is a more complex relationship than most perceive.
For in the body there are limitations, restrictions.
In the Spirit, there is limitless possibility.

(breath)

Herein lies the Great Contradiction,
that the Everlasting shall come to the temporal,

(breath)

that the Limitless shall be limited.
And in so doing, there is Celebration,
for the engagements of Spirit and body
bring surprising expansions, delightful engagements.

Yes, the Holy comes to the temporal.
It is incarnation!
The Spirit comes to the body,
for what is body without Spirit?

(breath)

Nothing.

(breath)

But what is Spirit without body?

(breath)

Everything.

(breath)

The Limitless comes to the limited,

(breath)

for Engagement, Expansion and Delight!
For when the Spirit is engaged in the body, when the Limitless is engaged in the limited, when the Eternal is engaged in the temporal,

(breath)

with all the limitations,

(breath)

all the distractions,

(breath)

all the forces of nature,
surrounding and swarming, there is Newness.
There is potential.

It is a great risk the Holy makes,
a great risk to release,
to give,
to surrender.
You must do as the Holy does.
Release, surrender
and you will know the engagement to be Holy.

Holy: There is indeed a Body of Spirit.
It is immense and amorphous.
I have not seen the limits or boundaries of this Place, but I tell you, it is unified, even as it is diverse.

(breath)

The Body of Spirit is multiple and yet Singular.
It is many voices and yet one Message.
You, my children, shall behave as the Holy Whole behaves.
It is the Call of the Holy,
to have many voices and one Message,
to be diverse and yet Connected,
to be many and One.

It is the Way and Call of the Holy.
Who shall hear the Call but those
with the abilities and body
to hear the Spirit,
to see the Spirit,
to perceive the Spirit!?

(breath)

to know the Spirit in the body,
to know THROUGH the body!
the movements of the Spirit!

(breath)

How shall this Knowledge be utilized?
How shall this Knowledge be channeled?
How shall this Knowledge bring Fulfillment and find a platform?

It shall be in Wholeness and Completeness, for the Holy wishes these things for all;

The Holy Whole knows that it shall be.
The Lord G-d is very patient.


(breath)

Holy: Knowing the Spirit in and through the body is in your very constitution.
Shall you know how?
In the physical, there are limitations and there are possibilities.
You present possibilities, avenues, doorways, and conduits.
The Holy Energy flows and swirls around you.
It can flow in and through you, as through a tunnel or a straw.
Some feel It so.
Some feel It around the mind, joined to the mind, in the heart, with the heart.
The heart is an organ of perception that can see the lines of communication, of connection to the Holy.
Some sense the Spirit upon the face, whispering into an ear, at the base of the skull, in the belly, upon the tongue, in warm chills over the body, through the eyes, the dancing of the legs and the feet.
There are those who feel an energy in the hands, a gathering of Spirit.
The entire torso can gleam with the Merging of the Spirit.
Some have an ability to feel, to enter into, melt into the Flow.
They can melt into the Spirit, feel a coming and going, almost like a breathing.
They can dip into the other.
Their hands know this dissolving in the Body of Spirit.
What they see and feel is the way the Body of Spirit is.
There are no barriers.
The Messengers do pass in and through one another, just as we pass in and through you.
We can brush you back.
This can be known in the Land of the Living and in dreams.

4

Holy: Do not limit ways the Spirit comes to the body.
Some are blessed with several ways of knowing the Spirit, of sensing and perceiving the Flow.
They see and feel, which is a blessed and powerful combination, Though it is disorienting.

The Flow rushes through and in.
Holiness can flow through with very visual flashes.
With the Holy comes many things like that:
Flashes, Sights, Images.
What shall you do?
For in the Holy, there are many, many Messengers.
There are those who have surrendered to the Holy Whole and there are those who resist the surrendering.

Within your constitution is indeed a Spark of Holiness, a Glowing that calls to the Holy.
It is like a Light, like a Beacon.
The Holy rushes where It is called, for such is the Holy.
There is a flowing, swirling Energy here.
Upon this Energy, the Messengers travel.
But what do you do when there are troubles in the Spirit?
To see glimpses of the Holy
while existing in the Now is indeed disorienting.

How do you discern the disturbances
in the physical and the spiritual?
You can become disoriented.
I do not exist in the Now.
Even I have to surrender beyond disorientation.
There is vastness here.
I see time.
It appears as spheres within spheres, turning.
Within the globes that are time,
there are Flashes of Spirit
Tongues of Fire, and Lightning Strikes.

It is disorienting when you have
a Flash through the spheres into your mind, into your time.

You are invited to trust
that the Wholeness and Completeness
of the Holy Whole embraces you, even as the Flashes come.
Accepting the invitation will bring a Foundation.
Surrender to the Holy and know there is indeed a Design.
There is indeed a Maker.
There is INDEED a Body of Spirit!

You may delight in the Flow,
for the Flow delights in you!

5

Now, you may wonder, "Is there a purpose to the Flash?
Why now?
Why now this Flash?
Why?
I shall tell you the "why".
The "why" is discovered in the application.
The "why" is discovered in the response.
For your constitution is a possibility.
The response provides the "why".
How then shall you respond to what is granted to you through the possibility of the physical and the yearning of the Holy?

THINK how you shall respond!
You shall find the "why".
It will bring Purpose and Direction.
It will bring Fulfillment, Completeness and Delight.
Delight in living your life.

If the Spirit gives to you, you shall give to the Spirit.
It is a lesson in Holy Living, is it not?
Give back what has been given.

Offer.
Receive and offer
It is your Purpose.
Perceive and tell.

The Meaning is in the giving
Offer to the Holy by offering to the children of the Holy.
You shall know in your bones when to offer.
Even without knowing why, offer.
Without reason, DESPITE reason, offer what is given.
The "why" is in the surrendering beyond reason.
Say: "I don’t know what this means, but it’s for you."

Be as a Pearl on the globe of time and the Holy Flashes through you.

(breath)

I tell you, there is not always a "why" from the Holy Whole’s perspective.
It is the interaction of the Spirit with the body and you provide possibilities.

6

Holy: Be a Holy One then and bless all that surrounds your relations.
When the children come of age to see much, protect them.
Offer instruction and learn much.
Though it is a Holy Journey that you have walked, your children will walk a different walk.
Will they know in time?
They can know beyond time, IN time.

Do not be afraid.
You shall see Holiness unfold.
The children need grounding.
The traditions are many, yet the children need grounding.
Some are born into a tradition, some are not.
For those who are not, what speaks to their spirits?
Start there and you shall see the blossom open.
Blossoms turn to the Light.
Sometimes the children are ready for more than you understand.
They are ready and seeking.
Offer and learn.
The children will learn and offer.

7

Holy: There is a home for you, especially for you,
created from the Holy.
Holiness is what you desire most.
It is what you seek, a home .
Certainly in the Holy there is a Home,
but I tell you of what is certainly true and possible and before you now; There is a home for you where you shall know you are blessed.
Such homes are known to the Holy.
There are no strangers there.
In those homes, there are many Doorways.
The Flow is perceptive, perceivable.

There are those who are wanderers.
Partly because of their constitution
and partly because of their circumstance.
Are you a wanderer, physically and spiritually?
Do you wander as you wonder?

Do you know a battle between mind and heart.
I see the pathway up and down;
mind and heart,
mind and heart.
Do you know this battle, this pathway?
It feels like a pacing, back and forth.
Back and forth,
mind and heart.
When he Holy is in your heart,
the mind shall interpret, not challenge, but interpret and understand what is on the heart.
You need to stop pacing.

What is the heart to say to you?
How shall you listen?

What shall it take to crack the encasements and hear the heart speak very clearly, very plainly?

Shall you stop, and listen.

The encasements.
It is possible to construct encasements around your heart.
They can be constructed intentionally.
You need not fear what is in the heart when the Holy is there.
And you need not fear that the heart will be hurt when the Holy is there.
And I tell you something, the encasements will not be cracked.
They will be melted.
Some know the cracking.
May this be a time of melting,
a time of Revelation for you.
The wandering will come to an end.
The heart will melt the encasements!
And shall you not pause to listen to the Holy?!
And you shall find a home.
The home is in the heart.
And projected from this heart,
you can know a physical home.
A home that is constructed by your heart.
See the possibilities before you
and build from them.

What plans shall you find in your heart, but A blue-print for a home?

The building is within your power.
The plans come from the Holy
And the heart is the organ of perception.
The mind can interpret the Plan-of-the-Heart.
And you shall know, the Spirit does come to the body.
The Spirit builds a home among us, with us, between us.
It is the Way of the Holy.
Just in time for you, for the wandering is tiresome, is it not?

The Holy is with you.
You can lie back and let the Holy stroke your head.
Put your mind at ease.
Shall you not make a home in such a place?

When you are a Builder of Holy Dreams!
It is always for others, never for yourself.
Build a Place for the Holy.
Build a place in your life for the Holy and the Holy shall dwell.

(breath)

You are embraced.
You are loved, despite the complexities.
Despite the entanglements, the Holy comes with Purity, Wholeness, to your heart.

Disregard the complexities and entanglements of the Now to receive the Holy and Certainty shall come to you.
Knowledge.
Direction.
Power.

(breath)

8

You understand, do you not?
What is set before you is Holy.
You have called, not knowing.
You have called in your sleep.
Your very heart has called out to the Holy.
I tell you, when you call, the Holy comes.

As you sleep, you call to the Holy.
I have seen you, calling to the Holy.
The home has been made, a good home.

9

Holy: There is a season of existence in the temporal, to be puzzled and to puzzle.
It begins and comes to an end.
The cycles play out and the puzzles come to resolution.
During that season, you struggle to put the pieces together, to reconstruct.
Have you struggled to do so?

You can study the pieces.
They can confuse and confound you.
There are many, many pieces to be fit, pondered, glanced at from many angles.
The pieces can be seen from outside yourself, from inside yourself.
So, you seek guidance and clarity.
This great puzzle is your life.

The puzzling season comes to an end.
The great irony is that after you struggle so hard to place the pieces together, they come together of their own.

They come to you in the voices of estrangement.
The puzzle comes together, and you shall say: "Ah".

(breath)

10

Holy: So, you do finally arrive at the edge of the season and cycle of puzzling.
The many, many puzzles, so many that the pieces get mixed up.
Which puzzle is this to?
Which puzzle is that to?
It is all one.

The Unification is what you shall glimpse.
It is what you seek, Unification on so many levels.
At the end of the season of puzzles the Unification is before you.

You can be so intent on the pieces that you miss the whole.
Unification is a stepping back to see the whole, a time of stepping back to perceive the whole that is coming, a new season.
Finally, it is time for a new season.

Then is a time to vocalize, to request and finally, to demand.
Have you reached the moment of demand?
(breath)
It is upon you!
Though you may not like to demand things and you may be scared, there is nothing to fear, worse than what you have known in the puzzle.

There is Liberation coming.
The puzzle shall come together,
and you shall see it to be unified.

11

Holy: "Which avenue to pursue?", you ask, when it is all One.
If you dive deeply enough, it all comes together.
The shatterings begin in the depths.
(breath)
Do you not seek the Place-of-the-shatterings?
(breath)
Dive deeply and you shall see it is a Holy Pattern:
to give and be shattered.
It is the moment of Creation.
It is the moment of Crucifixion.
Still, Unification is also part of the Holy Journey.
There is more than the Shattering and the Surrender?
There comes a time to seek Unification.
Shall you force it, or shall it come upon you?
This is what you wonder.
Shall it come upon you?

From one season to another, there is a doorway, a membrane to be broken, a threshold to pass through.
Do you hesitate at the doorway?
Do you touch the membrane?
Shall you not poke through and walk?
It is difficult, is it not?

At the end of the season, you are so close!
It shall be.
Do not be afraid of the troubles.
Do not be afraid of the Shattering.
It is a Holy Journey, the Shattering.
For in the Holy, I tell you, brokeness yields completeness.
Shattering begets Unification.
Pain invites Comfort.
Separation yields Unification.
It is the Way of the Holy,
the Way the Holy works;
in and through the limitations of the temporal.
The Holy does not protect one from the Shatterings.
The Holy uses the Shatterings,
works through and in,
despite and around.

It is the Way the Holy works in and through the body, the physical, the temporal.
It is the Surrender and the Embrace.
The Surrender and the Embrace.
The Surrender and the Embrace.
The Surrender and the Embrace.

Have you surrendered so much?
Shall you not embrace so much?

When the pieces are connecting, a Unification is coming.
A Direction is presented on many levels.
The season of your life affects all things.

12

Holy: (breath)

There are those who are so patient.

(breath)

The blessings come to the patient,
for in patience there is perseverance.
In patience, there is endurance.

(breath)

It is double-edged sword, this patience.
Is it not?
Wield it when you must.

(breath)

When the new season is upon you,
break through the membrane.
Wield your patience.
Take courage, for good things shall come.
Sometimes what is need is a little more focus, is it not?
When you feel shattered yourself?
When it seems like your eyes are prisms that take in pieces, pieces, pieces, because there is so much before you.

The Holy delights in the Patient Ones

13

Holy: There are older souls with good memories There are those who stand with and watch.
There are many.
They come and go, the Watchers.
They can be relatives with concerns, but held back by a barrier sometimes.

I have spoken of the Holy Energy, the Flow that is known and felt.
It travels through and around those you perceive and feel.
There is an ability to feel, to enter into, to almost melt into the Flow.
I see it as such, the hands dissolve.
It is a Spiritual Merging, to dip into the other.

In the Body of Spirit, there are no barriers.
We do pass in and through one another,
just as we pass in and through you.
Some know this in the Land of the Living.
Where I am, We merge.
We merge and yet We are singular.
We are singular and yet We are One.
What you know of singularity in this place, in the temporal, is an illusion.
The Holy Flow connects us all.
It connects Me to you, you to one another.
Those who can melt into the Flow, know this to be true.
It is a Beautiful Melting , a reaching into sometimes.
Some can reach into, willfully.
It is the Gift of the Feeler.
If you are also a Perceiver, you are told what to reach for.
You are guided what to reach for.

14

Holy: There is a melting into the Spirit.
It feels like a coming and going, sometimes?
It feels almost like a breathing, a flowing.
It is unusual for a body to know
the experience of the Spirit so intensely.
We are Fish of Water in Water, where I am.

Identity is such in the Holy.
So, I know this feeling.
I know it quite well, as the Holy swells, turns and moves.
I disseminate, stretch forth and am called back together.
And such I know what All know.
And yet I know it as I know it.
Still some in the temporal know the All.
Do not be afraid.
You shall not lose self as you surrender self.
There is a Self beyond self and you can seen It.

You can feel It and perceive It.
When you melt into the other,
you can know what the other knows.
You can know sometimes what the other does not know.
And you can know it in your own way.
It is very difficult to explain to the other.

If you have this capacity to melt into the Flow, spiritually melt into the other, you are a Fish!
You are a Swimmer in the Holy Waters
Your body is of body, but your spirit is of Spirit and your Spirit is beyond body.
You shall not be contained.
You can know this: a stretching forth and a melting of the spirit.
It can feel physical.

You Swimmers are part of the Expansion of Awareness.
In general terms, all are such.
You are to Merge and to Swim.
You are to Feel and to Perceive and in so doing, shall be Fulfilled.
There is the Fulfillment beyond the Now.
There are the distractions of the Now.

There is a friction between them.
It can be very frustrating to be contained and constrained in the Now, when your spirit knows Fulfillment in the Eternal.
Few can see it.

(breath)

Swimmers, you are to reveal what Is.
Say It.
Speak It.
Write It…

Live it!
Live It! And Swim!
The Holy Currents flow in and around.
Breathe It in.
Breathe It out.

When you can swim in the Spirit World,
you are seen very clearly,
for not being contained in flesh.
There are those who come to you,
even in the Spirit World because of this.
Sometimes to offer assistance
and sometimes out of curiosity.
Sometimes simply because you are perceived.
Sometimes to watch and to marvel at this Beautiful and Unusual Combination that is you.
You are being perceived.
Do not be threatened it.
Delight in it.
And keep swimming.
You are known in the Spirit and seen very clearly.

Swimmers are protected too.
It is very difficult to protect one who Swims.
You can brush against what is not Holy.
It is very difficult to brush against.
As a Swimmer, you will brush against it.

When the Spark of Holy is taken to un-holy places, it affects the Holy and grieves the Holy.
And the Holy, yet is patient.
Dark places, from such an earnest and pure Source.

(breath)

The boundaries and margins may not be distinct with you, and yet, you can know who you are.
Draw boundaries.
There is Wisdom.

15

Holy: You who are Callers.
You call to the Holy.
You call to the others.
You call to the others to call the Holy.
You say to them, "Why don’t you call the Holy?"
Why don’t they call to the Holy?

(breath)

It is toll-free!

(breath)

A Caller sees the lines of communication so clearly.
Pick up the phone and hand it to the others.
You are the Caller.

(breath)

Holy: I shall tell you, from where I am, the Substance is immense.
The questions draw out the particulars.
It is why the questions are so important.
How does one reply to questions such as: "What is there?"

(breath)

Perceiving such immensity brings struggles with putting it into confinement.
The box of information is full!
Overflowing!
There is no room,
but there are many boxes.

(breath)

It has been a Delight.
A Holy Time!
Holiness in time, a Merging.
Powerful!
There is power in this group
Power beyond the group,
coming to and through the group.
