The Masterpiece Lives On

Monday, April 29th – 

After I pulled for the week, I’m returning to something I read from the Sacred Earth Oracle. 

It reminded me of a couple concepts I return to often – of letting go and legacy.

“Life makes its mark with no obligation, no expectation, and its masterpiece is lost beneath the next snowfall.”
(p.90 Renewal)

And it continues,

“White, where time is frozen, like an expectant hiatus lost to a blank page. Refreshing, perpetual renewal is here, now, always, awaiting you.”

As I read this and breathed it in, I felt sad, loss.
What a shame, I thought – gone forever.
My mind brings up nearby examples –
A. Family members who pass on without leaving a concrete legacy of their thoughts, memories, and wisdom for their descendants. That’s sad to me, “a missed opportunity,” I often say.

B. We have artists and masters in their area who die before ever getting credit or acclaim. That’s too bad and so unfair!

C. Okay the big kahuna – Jesus H. Christ.
Lately, I’ve been pondering what Jesus may have felt/thought in knowing this life plan of not only sticking out like a sore thumb from day 1 and having to die in a publicly humiliating and painful, drawn out way. It’s also the life where you’re being hugely screwed over by historical memory, being witnessed and remembered in error or in omission of content and/or context. You crushed it (I choose to believe!), but the way it landed for human history was a very mixed bag, more and more so as collective human awareness shifts into a stewardship mindset with itself and the natural world. I am honored to do this little walk through Jesus’s example. He’s refining my perception as we go! Mostly, I can imagine feeling very misunderstood and deeply frustrated with the prospect of this happening to me! I mean, what a miscarriage of justice! I sort of seethe with 2nd hand resentment just considering it. Hmm.

And then, I heard a warm voice say in my right ear/brain, 

“There’s no renewal without death. There is no loss in death. Life in all its forms is immaculate.”

Legacy is completely in the eye of the beholder and the ones ending their human lives have the chance to review every moment and choice after they arrive. They are not responsible for what happens afterward, but I am curious if they follow it, like fan fiction boards. I’m not sure if they care or to what extent they keep up with it…I’ll ask.

I think the take-home message here is that my brother Jesus doesn’t vibe any lower, regretting how human history screwed up his narrative and used him to oppress each other. Therefore, if Jesus ain’t mad, I ain’t mad. I’ll need to remind myself of this a lot before it’s reprogrammed with this information.

So, two things here:

1. Nothing is lost, broken, or “a shame” because it’s ALL for our benefit and our learning.
   
   It’s a form of praise and worship to feel your emotions, no matter which ones.
   Breathe in and out – the simplest prayer. Amen.
   Change your perception around what’s valuable, now.
   
   Although it seems to you like everything can be categorized and hierarchies by rating criteria, this is not the way our Higher Selves (or anyone beyond the 3D) understand it. They care only about the beauty, innovation, and creativity in variety and experimentation. They see it all, but it’s like the shadows and outlines in a painting, not binary of good/bad. It complements the whole.
   How we compete is considered very childlike, such that they always extend Grace. Everything adds and contributes and is useful and good.
   
   Play your hand and give gratitude as often as you can, for the poison is often the medicine.

2. No such thing as a missed opportunity or a forgotten, jilted legacy.
   
   Time being non-linear means that we are taking ample attention with every opportunity, and you are here now, exploring yours. You don’t have to worry about not “doing it all,” as you ARE actually doing it all, right now. You really are safe to move about the cabin and just relax…It’s a big shift in your understanding of reality, from a 3D to quantum perspective. As this new theory plays out in our examples of life, refinement is necessary and appropriate. “Maintenance Required,” basically! 😉

Let’s talk about the renewal piece: No renewal without death.
Okay, so we’re back in this image of a wintry, icy woods environment.

“Life makes its mark with no obligation, no expectation, and its masterpiece is lost beneath the next snowfall. White, where time is frozen, like an expectant hiatus lost to a blank page. Refreshing, perpetual renewal is here, now, always, awaiting you.” 

And the warm words came again behind my right ear:
“Death is the pause in every note played, to rest, not to stop or fade from record. The song continues and the Soul sings it out as your true essence, into every life – your signature frequency, your bag of tools for the next journey.”

I then looked up renewal and didn’t find much with the -al, so I looked up renew.

The definition that resonates for me RN is 1: to make like new: restore to freshness, vigor, or perfection. 

Death is not to be feared, but revered. Death is actually the perfection/completion of life. It’s not common knowledge here yet.
It is necessary for the next step in the Soul’s song, the next note resounding bright and strong after resting a beat to renew itself.

Renewal
It’s the Soul, your OverSoul or Higher Self or God that calls our human soul shard home to join it, like a mother’s call. And it’s this heart’s cry that beckons us to Sing while we can, our unique note added to the chorus.

A candle is not upset or bitter at the moment it gets snuffed out – It remains available to bring light anon. That’s what it’s made to do – exist.

So the snow falls to create another blank canvas. Waves crash upon the shores of castles and holes and sand writing every day and night. Fires burn through forests and renewal can almost instantly be witnessed by life.

Life is never lost. Art is sometimes a momentary flash, but no less exquisite.
Something is always gained, learned, and expanded – it’s what life does.
Replicates, abounds, blooms, carries on.
