LAUNCHED TODAY! I AM US VIDEO: CAPTURING THE VITAL SPIRITUAL AND SACRED AWAKENING THAT IS ALL BUT UPON US, AND THAT MUST SUFFUSE OUR SOULS AND THE ENTIRETY OF OUR LIVES. IT IS THE AWAKENING TO THE ONENESS THAT IS THE ALL, THE ALL THAT WE ARE FOREVER ONE WITH. AND WITH THIS AWAKENING, SO SHALL COME OUR SPIRITUAL HEALING OF OURSELVES, OF EACH OTHER, OF OUR COMMUNITIES AND OF OUR MOTHER EARTH, OUR HOLY GAIA.
On August 13th 2020 we made the following announcement regarding our new video, and at last it is here:
We are in the process of producing a video that very undoubtedly touches upon the present crucial issue of Black Lives Matter, and at the same time relates it to our attitudes with regards to faith and religion. The two might not appear to be intimately related, but they are. Richard Dell’s poem, I AM US, which was written getting on for five years ago, and was published in December 2019 in Richard’s book STARS IN OUR SOUL, makes it clear that our attitudes with regards to race and religion or faith, are intimately entwined, and are reflections of the fundamental fault line in our present day societies and indeed too often in ourselves. Race and religion divide us. They divide us because we are too prone to internalised, and ultimately externalised, division within ourselves. This is a fundamental spiritual matter. The problem with our lives today is our ever-present manifestation of exclusivity. The key to almost everything is inclusivity. And as the poem I AM US makes clear, we do not lose by embracing inclusivity, we do not become poorer. We instead are enriched. This is true of all spiritual quests. It is true of what happens to us when we love; it is true of what can be achieved both personally and socially when we are able to be holistic. The Black Lives Matter issue, touches upon the sacred within us, and indeed has the potential to accelerate our spiritual awakening. There is a profound meaning in what is happening with the Black Lives Matter movement. Let us trust that we can embrace what it offers.
Here is a taste of what Richard has to say in the video:
I AM US is Number 16 in my book STARS IN OUR SOULS.
It talks of an issue that is vital to our time now.
It certainly touches on BLACK LIVES MATTER. In fact, the very fact that we have to say BLACK LIVES MATTER, says everything about our times and indeed about ourselves. For none of us can separate ourselves from the whole, from the world that is no-more, and no-less, than what we are.
Indeed this whole concept of race, and how we identify ourselves within the extraordinary SPECTRUM of racial diversity, is linked also with religion and how we identify within that diverse SPECTRUM. Our nations too. And our genders. And our class and our neighbourhoods. And ... Well, everything we are, and might be, and too often shouldn’t be.
I AM US speaks to the all-pervasive and all-corrosive issue of exclusivity and separation. There is much about ourselves that we must give up, must surrender. This has always been at the heart of all the great spiritual quests: TO FIND OURSELVES WE MUST FIRST LOSE OURSELVES.
Oneness is something we practise and experience when we fall in love. It is not chance that love is seen as being integral and central to the universe. We experience oneness – entanglement – when we love, and it is that oneness we must strive for in every aspect of our lives. Oneness with each other, with our planet’s flora and fauna, and ultimately with the ALL of the universe.
But there is an unexpected ending. As there always is at the end of all such quests, all such journeys. We will find treasures beyond compare. We will find ourselves…, AND WE WILL FIND EACH OTHER.
I AM US
The fundamentalist notion that only one religion is true, reflects the notion that only one culture or nation or people have worth. It is a lingering manifestation of a complex that within its overt superiority, conceals a corrosive insecurity.
I am not only what I am, I am also what I think you are.
I am not only my faith, I am also your faith.
To think I am only my faith, is to think there is only one faith.
To think there is only one faith, is to think there is only what I am.
I am not only what I am, I am also what I think you are.
I am not only my race, I am also your race.
To think I am only my race, is to think there is only one race.
To think there is only one race, is to think there is only what I am.
There is no I am.
There is only we are.
Only when we are, are we ONE.
Only when we are ONE, can I be Me.
