Ressurection

Since the year 1998, I have been hearing about this "shifting of the poles" thing. The Earth's magnetic poles, according to different channellers are bound to switch polarity sometime in the future...maybe 2012. I might be an Aquarius, but I'm not much of a scientist. What the heck does this really mean? In the course of my studies and research, I have come to believe that the Earth is here because we are here. And maybe we and the Earth are One. And possibly the state of our planet is truly a reflection of human consciousness.

What if, it were WE who are going to shift poles? The Universal Law of Polarity encourages us to balance our perception of situations, that everything we perceive as bad has an equal amount of good within it. Gender is an expression of polarity as well.

What if what is actually transpiring is an opportunity for all of us to correct our vision? Within every moment in this mundane soup of responsibilities and relationships lies the potential for miracles. The only thing standing between us and Oneness is the Ego. A Course in Miracles speaks at great length about the body and its sole purpose being nothing more than a means of communication. The Ego separates through the body. The body is beautiful or ugly, peaceful or savage, helpful or harmful, according to the use to which it is put.

In my personal life, I am currently undergoing what some might see as a "difficult" situation. My partner of the last nine years, Derek, and I are separating. We have accumulated much together in the last decade or so, accomplished together what neither one of us could do seperately, most importantly our son Riley.

We have used our bodies for both attack and love. We came together as friends, and are parting on the same terms. Together we learned to accept help and friendship from our neighbors. We are known to all of our friends as Derek and Mar. This separation is affecting all whom our relationship touches. Even if it simply makes them consider how much they love their own partner, and how lucky they are to have a strong relationship.

I have been fortunate to be an up close and personal witness to one of the most amazing men I have had the pleasure to know. The moment we locked eyes in a friends backyard, an actual wind sprang up from nowhere.

Derek McEachren discovered, uncovered and healed me. As long as I live, I will never forget how beautiful he made me feel when I was pregnant with Riley, and that alone healed so many illusions associated with my first marriage. He taught me the importance of play, healing so many childhood beliefs. He believed in me when I couldn't find it in me to believe in myself. His wide spectrum of emotions reconnected me with my own suppressed feelings and released me from my bondage of numbness.

How does one honor someone who has held such a perfect mirror?

Thank you for everything you are, Derek. I am privileged to be going through this experience with someone who is willing to take the highest road possible, allowing me to learn what Universal Love is really all about. Derek, I love you for your willingness to see the perfection in all of this, even if it appears painful.

I have learned that in order to fully comprehend the workings of some Spiritual concepts, that you have to be willing to walk a road known to be full of hidden dangers, deception, hatred and darkness. Only to find out that those things only exist in the mind of the dreamer.
