Sundance Center Update... March 2010


Sundance Center Update

Welcome to Wednesday March 24, 2010

A pleasant reminder that no matter what is going on now.... it will change... since the present moment is always Now and is always in motion.... within all the change is the still center of being...

Let us affirm together that we are One with Life itself..One with all that is...

Let us affirm that we are not breathing Life.... but rather Life is breathing us...

In the moment of this day, Sundance Center and John are also in transition...

The residence at 300 Huntington Drive is still up for sale...

As most of you know, the marriage contract between Connie and I was officially terminated in January 2010. While this has been an amicable transition in our relationship, I wish to be clear that I was the one that initiated the change.... Connie continues working and serving in Doha, Qatar and will most likely be there for the next 2-3 years. Plans are for her to return to 300 Huntington for the 2 weeks prior to the house closing date... whenever that is determined...

I do not know, at this time, where I will go, but Sundance Center and I (along with pet, Lucia) are trusting the process and know we will be here now...wherever that may be... The egoic mind likes to know everything all the time...I will trust that when it is time to know, then it will be known.... I can envision a quiet natural setting that may provide living situation for some part-time care-taking or other work for a few hours per week...

You may be wondering about my exploring moving to Colorado... At this time, I do not sense clarity about moving to the Denver, Colorado area  or Sunrise Ranch in Loveland, CO... I am open to where Life may lead and also open to staying in the Lancaster County area where I am at this time...

One night, some years ago now, I had a long dream that was much like a shamanic journey.... It culminated in a room where I saw a symbol on the floor of a small chamber with 4 doors and a voice asking me "Whose Life is it anyway?"  I took it as an other deep moment of calling to renewal of Spirit in my life ... It was also a call and reminder to ego that Life was one and what I thought was my life that somehow belonged to me.... this vehicle labeled John was in reality One with Life's Source... that Life itself is a miraclulous gift of Grace and it was Life that is breathing through me... At times we get lost in the idea that it is our Life and that we somewhat own it... I have come to the opinion that the best I can do through my choices is to cooperate with the stewardship of Life wherever we are...

Life has provided many rich experiences in this lifetime... from many various service and work opportunities to various avenues of creative expression... through this stained glass window labeled John and Sundance Center....
Now it is time to truly allow the emergence of the New into the Now... for each one of us...

I hear from others as well that they are experiencing what feels like the end of a cycle in their lives.... and we are reminded that the new beginnings are emerging and on their way... it is our job to be with the uncertainty, the unknowing, and the confusion of transitions, realizing that these are natural ego reactions to the uncertainty and lack of control ...
It is a time to be in touch with the highest reality within our being... to find the stillness of the present moment and surrender...letting go to what is... while also envisioning what our preferences are... and what our next steps of service might be...

Let us find the Courage to Be in the face of the unknown and the illusions that fear might create from time to time... If we continually wake up to the Eternal Moment beyond time and space consciousness, we can find the unifying center of stillness the Always IS...

Let us Be the best advertisement for Love in our everyday actions and words... especially with those we encounter in our homes, works, and everyday routines... Be the cliche-ed "Change you wish to see"....

May Life Energy...Life's Greatest Spirit,,, Bless us with waking moments of Peace...of Love... and of Joy...

May those who are disappointed, sad, and experiencing loss, allow those emotions to take there quick flow back to Source... through allowing what is... allowing light and winds of Spirit to clear the darkness in its perfect time...

All the Best...

John
