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.”
