The Covenant of Love
From my journal, 27th August 2023
Noah built the Ark to protect against the flood – as a shelter for all forms of life so that Life could continue after the floods abated. In our time, a flood of Love is washing over the world – destroying everything in its path that is not-love. Our task is to create an Ark of our hearts so that Love may flourish in us once the destruction is complete. Only life lived through Love will triumph over the current destruction. Our hearts are the only fortress against the flood. Our hearts are the new Arc of the Covenant. Hearts joining hearts to hold the vibration of Love for the world. Hearts of Love, not stone nor wood nor flesh. Hearts transformed in Love hold Love for Life.
This is the work of our time – to help Love triumph over reason, over greed, power, corruption, inequality, injustice, lies and untruth. Those whose hearts are transformed in love gather to safeguard Life as the sun rises on the Dawn of our Divinity. These hearts will open their doors and Love will emerge into the light of a new day and we will walk into a new world.
The flood this time is Love not water – but it is equally ferocious in its intent to wash away all that is not-love; all that resists love; all that refuses to know Love; all that thinks it is above Love. Love is washing all that away in her deluge. Hearts that are open to Love receive this flood of Love from Spirit and offer it unconditionally to all to drink from the cup of Love and become Love.
The future of Life is Love. No matter how arrogant we have become, we do not choose the future of Life. No matter how destructive our choices – these do not deter Life from Her own plan to deliver Love into the world and to reap Love from the world.
Where once flowers blossomed in Spring, Love will blossom.
Where once we gathered in the harvest, we will gather in Love.
Where once we honoured the cycle of the seasons, we will honour the cycle of Life, Death, Rebirth.
We are in the cycle of Death.
The cycle of Rebirth will be a rebirth in Spirit and in Love.
Love is a blossoming rose in the heart of those who love.
Reason fails utterly in the face of Love.
Reason is cold as steel in the minds of those who reason.
No amount of reasoning will ever open a heart to Love.
Love alone engenders Love.
Love alone opens hearts to Love.
Let go of reason and let Love open the doors of your heart.
Love herself will transform your heart of stone into a heart of light.
A heart that loves lives
A heart that does not love dies.
Only living hearts will survive the flood.
Only hearts that love will become Arcs of the Covenant of Love.
Stop believing your own judgment triumphs over the judgment of Spirit.
Stop believing the flimsy threads of connection you have to Love will tether you in the storms to come.
Let go the idea that your spiritual strength is sufficient
And open your eyes to the gathering storm clouds.
Heed them and then let Love make an Arc of your heart.
Let Love transfigure your heart, your being, your whole life to Love’s own ends.
Let go your flimsy assessment that you have everything under control.
What human could have Life under their control?
You have been given Life so that Life can live through you.
If you will not let Life live according to her own desire, design and pattern, she will no longer support you to live in ignorance and in direct conflict with her sacred intentions.
Listen to the winds howling in the distance and take heed.
If you want to live you must love.
You must become a sacred vessel,
a harbour of safety,
for all your sisters and brothers,
for all of life on earth.
You must become a beacon of light.
You must be transformed and become a catalyst for others to be transformed.
You must sacrifice all your own ideas about your life and how to live it – and surrender to the guiding hand of Love who is gentle and kind, and tender as a mother with her new born.
She knows her own way and needs nothing from you but that you would stop blocking her from taking up her true home in your heart.
Let Love in to live in you, as you.
Then all shall be One.
