God In Drag
The Remembrance Of Our Divine True Nature
Last night my grandpa came to visit. He brought with him a winged being of light — an angel holding a book.
I’ve felt him all week while being here in Colorado with family, in the home he left my mother. He has smiled watching us laugh, play, plant trees in the yard, dance, offer compassionate loving support to one another.
My mother and I stretched out on the grass on the front lawn, it was an unusually warm sunny afternoon. We talked about grandpa and the idea of purchasing family land.
That’s the moment I saw a hawk flying toward us. The hawk dropped down low and flew right over us! We paused and closed our eyes to listen, to acknowledge; to both receive and send a message.
Wings. Slow graceful flaps, the way clouds part for a moment to let sunshine flicker in, pronouncing I am here!
My grandfather had a rough upbringing. Fear, anxiety, and anger hardened him with a shell. How many of us have shells too? Armour we have gathered while here on earth…
We come into this world with hearts wide-open; pure, illuminated, unguarded. Time, circumstances, experiences, hardship, and trauma weather and scar not only our skin.
And yet, even with this petrified exterior, I’ve always seen and known my grandfather’s light; the deep true roots of his tenderness, authenticity, and expansive love.
Shame, another thing that unites all of us humans. Here is the liberating secret that peaks beyond the thunderous grey, that parts the trees of the dark forest that can be so tricky to navigate through —
Shame is not real, it is an illusion blocking us from our greatest truths; we are unity, we are love, we are light, we are divine. We are, on a soul level, transcended beyond duality; speciesism, racism, classism, and gender. We are God living in drag.
If all the judgments of self and others would go extinct, what would remain?
I saw this last night in my grandfather, and the angelic company he shared. Free from his body, his shell — he was ascended; brilliant with grace and resplendent beauty.
There is a saying from Ram Dass,
“Treat everyone you meet like God in drag.”
Everyone, everyone you cross paths with, be them in person, virtually, psychically, or on the astral; animals, fish, plants, rocks, water, land, and yourself… All Are God in drag.
Whoever, be it yourself or another who is hardened by life, who reacts with unkindness, maliciousness, judgment, vanity, whatever the trait; it trails a story, a story of defeat. We all carry loads sometimes too heavy to bear. They are not who we are. We need the muscles of profound compassion, delight, and kindness. We need forgiveness.
If you do nothing more today then begin the morning, experience the day, and lay in bed before rest; be it to forgive, and to love more than you may have thought capable.
Observe where you can forgive any-and-all, self-included, of all trespasses, both intentional and unintentional. Be kind especially when kindness seems unwarranted, when it seems impossible.
Kindness is who we are, it is our humanness and our angelicness. It is who we were before coming here, it is who we are challenged to remain to be, it is our divine remembrance.
Kindness is our ascended nature. It is my grandfather’s, it is yours and mine. It is the essence of all those you love who have passed, it is even within those you most doubt its existence. Have faith, it is the heroic test.
Guardian Angels and Record Keepers fly nearby. They record not to judge or punish, but to help us learn, to help us grow into greater realization and expansion.
This moment is renewed, just as every moment is.
Archangel Uriel stands before us, where the sun rises each new day. Guiding and illuminating our path. Giving insight and inspiration. Communicating with us through our intuition, instincts, consciousness, awareness, and willingness. A light shines upon all we come in contact with, be it the caves and crevices within, footsteps ahead, or the thoughts we think, and the perspectives we hold.
Pray with me; May my vision always be crystal clear with the Light of God.
Remember help is only a thought away. Ask for it. Listen to it. Act with the boldness of kindness, for mighty divine forces standby to aid you. All we have to do is ask.
Breathe softness, tenderness, unconditional love into all those tight, and hardened places. May light beam through every opening, and warm every cold back.
May the benevolent light of unconditional love descend upon all; washing us, as the river does the sand, clearing all debris, so that we may again be revealed to the light that we are — to the Divine True Nature that is interconnected with all of creation.
“Now is the time to practice what you know. Trust… Stay as peaceful as you can. Stay right here in the present moment… Do the little things, the small actions that appear right, the things that are right before you. Feel your feelings. Move through the fear. Wrap up in self-love. Then let the journey unfold. Trust that you are being guided and led.” — Melody Beattie, Journey To The Heart.
“The Divine never says that suffering is necessary — this idea is created by human beings. The Divine asks us to be happy, harmonious, and peaceful.”
“Ask for everything — like a child asks its mother for everything, without shame. Do not stop at peace of mind or purity of heart, or surrender. Demand everything. — Mother Meera
For you are worthy of it all.
