Grace

The desperation people feel is caused by aversion to pain and loss. Most people who are used to their creature comforts are not prepared to lose a fraction of it. They maintain their unsustainable living habits unwilling to flow with the universe. Those that have lost everything or had that feeling of being taken advantage of are in a better position to understand another's pain and losses having had direct experience with it themselves. They have experienced loss so there's more room for something much better.

In a time of great fear arises great love. In a time when people experience the pain of extreme poverty while the wealthiest continue to their graves with severe apathy, there arises compassion and the opening of people's eyes to reality, regardless of circumstances. Grace, like water, touches us all. Those that are moved by it have opened to its power. The more closed off a person is to love because of attachment to the ego and conditioned mind, the less grace can penetrate that person's life. This feeling of wonder, of total love and compassion for others, is directly understood by the person who is willing to let go of the root cause of all problems. The sound of grace is silence containing all sound. It has no quality other than absence of content yet containing all form and energy. It is the source, the awareness creating and dissolving everything, the love that has no boundaries, beyond and ordinary, nothing special and yet exquisite simultaneously. Grace dawns within the one who fully opens to its gifts, the best one being love, wisdom and understanding.
