“A wise old Owl sat on an oak, The more he saw the less he spoke, The less he spoke the more he heard, Why aren't we all a bit more like that wise old bird?”
In
the preface to Emanuel Swedenborg’s Divine Love and Wisdom the Latin Translator
of the text talks about the sketch of a Roman Garden that adorned the title
page of each of Swedenborg’s books under the phrase Cura Et Labore "with
care and work." The image of a beautiful garden with a cherub like Angel
watering the plants tending to the well loved garden's growth and harmony
strikes to the core of any process.
It
is a reminder of the wisdom and grace that exists when discipline is applied to
commitment in realizing the fruits of our labor. It represents the opportunity
for us to make manifest the joys of a life fully lived in divine Love. When we
enrich each moment with care and work, making conscious choices. Free of the
energies that keep us bound. We allow nature to take its course in harmony
without calling out the struggle, we effortlessly step into the full beauty of
existence.
Move
into the garden of your being remembering everything is as it is. You are
exactly where you are supposed to be and you know absolutely how to tend to
your needs.
Swedenborg was one of the first and my favorite dude to express the idea of religion into the revelation of light and to translate the ideas into the concept of spirituality tramping through the late 1600's through 1772, that all the doors lead to the same place. His roots into the ideals of mysticism are well documented and another of the Renaissance spirits who illuminated concepts outside of the current limitations of present conscious understanding. Like Benjamin Franklin who would follow in Swedenborg's self publishing divinely inspired writings Swederborg is an inspiration. Men of vision and insight and continual curiosity expanding principles into the hearts and minds of humanity to lead the way forward to freedom.
Spending the end of the year enjoying the spirit and love and all the wisdom imaginable celebrating how far on the journey to discover the truth I had come was the ultimate gift. I know how blessed I am to know what I know and to get to participate with so many of you in sharing this beautiful, wonderful life. Thanks again for all the miracles and thanks again for the laughs and most importantly thanks for all the memories.
