Vistas From My Voyage
a few excerpts from a new book by
Jean Hodson Hammond
We recently viewed the Golden Gate Bridge, a regal suspension bridge
and engineering feat spanning the Golden Gate strait between San Francisco Bay
and the Pacific Ocean. The long span of road is suspended from extremely strong
cables looped up to two massive pillars anchored in the Bay, giving the bridge
its iconic design and presence.
Our Earth could be likened to a specialized Temple in our solar
system, designed to be filled with the creativity of Man and Woman, who could
be thought of as pillars in that Temple. Together they rightly hold intact a
creative field, within which traffic of all kinds moves in vast creative
processes.
As individual pillars in what is still this Temple Home, we can
strengthen the creative fields we have with others. Who knows what is either
held in place or allowed to sail over or under the bridges created with others?
Sometimes the alliances are specific people with whom we collaborate
in combinations such as marriage or partnership, in friendships, with work
colleagues or family members. Some- times the alliances are seen in some
distant land across the world via TV or online, and we feel resonance with them
in Spirit.
The true web of connectedness is an arena to become more aware of. Our
individual webs are creative fields that are part of the larger network of
living pillars. They hold aloft a billowing canopy of encompassing Spirit for
all that is needed now!
Spirit-filled expression through countless others has contributed to keeping what could be
termed silver cord substance—the
substance that connects humanity with the undimensional levels of Being—in
place, up to this very moment. All true expression strengthens this cord, and
those who can do so are essential, so that the Lord will not be forced to
grieve in this day and age “that he had made man on the earth.”
Whether judged to be bad or good, Life has given each of us exactly
what we need at every level—physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, along
with unique experiences—in order to contribute creatively in these latter days.
For example, my experience coming through serious illness years ago, and those
few minutes touching an ancient substance, have proven to be very useful.
I have never heard anyone say they didn’t like looking up into the
night sky. People generally love what they feel looking up there, and are awed
by the majesty of the heavens. How friendly it all is! There is no need to feel
dwarfed by the splendor and magnitude of what is seen and also sensed to be present
beyond the naked eye. Rather, communing with celestial family members as we
continue to fulfill the ordained purpose of our lifetimes on Earth, we may know
we are truly one with the universe and “made of the stars.”
