Father is origin. Son is loving attention. Holy Spirit is enlightening consciousness.
Breathing mothers creation.
Let your love flow outward through the universe,
To its height, its depth, its broad extent,
A limitless love, without hatred or enmity.
- Sutta Nipata Buddha
When enlightening consciousness fills us, we begin to gather in communion.
In the evening of that same day, the first day of the week, the doors were closed in the room where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews. Jesus came and stood among them. He said to them, ‘Peace be with you’, and showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were filled with joy when they saw the Lord, and he said to them again, ‘Peace be with you.
‘As the Father sent me,
so am I sending you.’
After saying this he breathed on them and said:
‘Receive the Holy Spirit.
For those whose sins you forgive,
they are forgiven;
for those whose sins you retain,
they are retained.’
(--from John 20: 19-23)
You see, if you choose not to forgive, then it doesn't happen -- and you are burdened with carrying with you the weight of unforgiveness of an-other, namely none other than you.
But if you have understanding, and you forgive -- then everyone is unburdoned, and we go on, lightened and freed.
What do you think? Is it time for Pentecost?
Time for Holy Spirit?
Are you conscious?
Any awareness?
Of peace?
Breathe!
