A Love Story

Good evening. Now that we are being totally tonally transcribed… (Laughter. We had two tape recorders going)

It is nice to be with you again this evening. I bring to you love and peace and healing.

Did you enjoy the new format this evening? (Yes! We began the evening with toning.) Did you feel the energy rise? (Yes!) Words have a tonal quality, which we will try to explain and demonstrate more for you. The ability of a word to create, the ability of a word to manifest is something that you will learn. The toning of various words is the first step in the process of your learning.

I have been asked many times, De Rah what is the world like? I would like to take a few moments to explain to you your world.

Imagine if you will, a very large aviary, a very large indoor cage where birds are kept. These are sometimes seen in your zoos. In the center of this very large cage please picture a smaller cage made from one way glass.

Inside the smaller cage are birds. When they look at the sides of the cage they see themselves or the rest of the birds. They see a mirror image. The birds outside in the larger aviary can see in. They watch the birds in the smaller glass cage. This is a very happy arrangement. The birds in the aviary are fascinated by the antics of the birds in the smaller cage. The birds in the small cage are concentrating on living their lives, responding only to themselves and their own self-made stimuli.

After years and years the glass begins to break down. The mirror surface begins to wear thin. There are places where the inside birds can look out and see the outside birds. There are places where the outside air is beginning to come in and it is different. The outside environment is different than the environment inside the protected glass. The birds inside must begin to change and adapt and grow, to be able to work with the new environment that will eventually be upon them. They occasionally see large fearsome birds looking in from the outside.

Their reactions are mixed. Some of them welcome change and say, “Wouldn’t it be wonderful to get out of here and be able to fly, to have more space, to have more friends?” Some of them huddle in a corner and pray to BIG BIRD. (Laughter) Some of them protest a conspiracy and think that the outside birds have all along been in control. Some of them wish to just escape because they fear any change.

My friends, the mirror on the inside of your glass is rubbing off. Your world looks about and sees others. Some of you are huddled together praying to BIG BIRD. Some of you are saying the outside birds have been directing us all along. Some of you are just running, and yet many of you in this room are welcoming the change and saying, “Yes! I always knew I could fly further and I could fly higher!” You were born eagles remember? For years you have been trying to act like geese!

Eventually the glass will not be there. Those that can not adapt to the new atmosphere will not be here either. Those of you that welcome the change and welcome the new energy and welcome the new social contact will thrive. And yes, some of you will still gather and pray to BIG BIRD.
Two weeks on a row with stories like this and you begin to think De Rah is going to the birds! (Laughter) But it is I think an apt description of what is happening in your world and what your world is like. You may only stay self-absorbed for so long until the outside world, the reality of the Universe, infringes upon you and says - wait a minute it isn’t that way. Then you have a choice, grow, hide or leave. Respond from love, respond from growth or respond from fear the choice is yours.

Growing and changing is what this fellowship is all about. Becoming the eagle that you are. Do I need to point out that outside of the aviary there is yet another group of spectators? No, they do not control the aviary and there is no one wearing a large yellow suit! (Laughter)

Understand that the world, as you know it, is changing, expanding and growing. You refer to this as the information age and yet you can not process all the information that is given to you. You become specialists in very narrow fields and although you may be successful financially in these fields, you need to grow beyond that. You need not to be narrow, you need to be broad in your opinions and your ideas. Welcome the change. Welcome the glass dissolving. Welcome the ability to fly higher and farther.

My friend here makes derogatory remarks occasionally about his classical education. He refers to it as a license to starve. I would point out to him that if it were not for his background in art and literature and music and poetry that I would not be able to bring the concepts to him that I am able to bring. He has, without knowing it, been preparing his entire life for this time.

You need to be broad-based not narrow specialists. You need to be in touch with Spirit, not merely the technique of something but the feeling of it. You need to understand that your thoughts are things and your words are the power of manifestation. Your words, your tones, your sounds, give a vibrant energy to your thoughts. That vibrant energy resonates throughout the Universe and brings to you that which you have called. Speak of poverty, speak of humbleness, speak of depression and you will have those things. Speak of prosperity, speak of wealth, speak of knowledge, speak of happiness and joy and you will have those things. The sound that comes from you draws those things to you. As you express your joy with living you get more of it. As you express your love Spirit brings you more love.

Allow me if you will to bring you a love story. While I am telling you my love story the people that I have brought with me will go around the room, and bring energy and bring love to you, since it is, after all, a love story. Feel the energy. Feel the healing.

Once many years ago, there were two children growing up and playing together, friends, playmates, confidants. They could tell each other anything. A boy and a girl, very close, best friends. As they grew and they went through school they shared practically everything with each other. All of the love, all of the sorrows, all of the doubts, all of the fear and all of the joy of growing up they shared with each other. As they became older and more mature they fell in love. They married and life was wonderful for a while. The sharing, the intimacy, the closeness, those things were wonderful.

As time went on the man became more and more educated, achieved a higher and higher position and was faced with more and more responsibilities. He went to work early. He came home late. He came home tired. She understood this. He was providing a good life. They had everything that they had dreamed of having. They didn’t talk much anymore because he was really too tired. She was finding things around the house to do and keep busy with.

After a while he would be gone for several days at a time. She was not concerned about whether he was faithful, she was concerned about his health. Work became more and more pressure and she became lonely. She started leaving notes on the kitchen table for him to find. As he rose very early to go to work he would read the notes over coffee and smile, and know that she still loved him. Then he would put the notes in his briefcase and forget them on his way down the front steps, but for that brief moment he knew she still cared. He felt that he was doing what he needed to do. He was providing. He was growing. He was doing those things that he needed to do and he knew she understood. He did not know she was lonely.

She knew that her notes had been received, her messages had been picked up, but there was never an answer. She tried calling the office. His secretary answered the phone and it seemed he was always in meetings. Finally she remembered, “There’s a private line in the office only he answers. I’ll call that.” It rang and it rang and it rang and no one answered. She went to the kitchen took out a pencil and wrote another note.

“My darling, we live in the same house but we don’t talk any more. You are my love and I respect you, but I wish we would talk. When we were younger we shared everything. Now it seems that you have gone your separate way and you do not share with me. I am your heart. I am the emotional part of you, the part that you have shut off. For me to be a whole person I need you the head, the thinking part of me. For you to be a whole person you need me your heart, your feelings.”

I tell you tonight these two people live in you, your heart and your head. Allow them to maintain their relationship. Allow them to talk. Allow them to feel each other. Take a moment right now if you will, and allow energy to flow into your heart. You have during this story been given that energy. Allow it to flow into your heart and fill your heart, and allow that energy to rise up to your head and embrace the logical side of you that so desperately needs to feel, and then allow all the love to flow from your heart up to your head and tell the logical part of you, “My darling, you don’t need to work that hard.”

Allow your head to respond, “Oh how I have missed you!” Allow those things to happen in your life. Allow yourself to stay in the marriage. Allow yourself to feel. Allow yourself to love.

In the service of love I have brought this message. I leave you with love. Goodnight.
