THE DANCE
Consciousness expresses itself through creation.
This World we live in is the dance of the creator.
Dancers come and go in the twinkling of an eye
but the dance lives on.
On many an occasion when I am dancing,
I have felt touched by something sacred.
In those moments, I felt my spirit soar and
Become one with everything that exists.
I become the stars and the moon.
I become the lover and the beloved.
I become the victor and the vanquished.
I become the master and the slave.
I become the singer and the song.
I become the knower and the known.
I keep on dancing then it is the eternal dance of creation.
The creator and creation merge into one wholeness of joy.
I keep on dancing… and dancing… and dancing,
until there is only…
the dance.
MICHAEL JACKSON
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves,
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
You playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.
