ADDRESS BY OCTAVIO COLEMAN, ESQUIRE
So... do we still think this is a game? What is the difference between a real thing and a fictional thing? What would the difference feel like?
Are you pretending to be here? I’m not. I am present. Right here. And I feel your presence, too.
Or... are we all dreaming?
The Hindus speak of the concept of Maya. The word Maya means the dream story we are all sharing along with the Divine. The whole of the past, including all of history, and the future too -- are contained within that dream story. Everything we think is real, in the Hindu construct, is contained within Maya. Everything.
Perhaps THIS moment is us waking from the dream. Collectively awakening. Ah ha! That feels good.
See, all the time we are participating in a story. Sometimes it’s a factual story, and sometimes it is fiction, Which ever may serve us that moment. Sometimes the "true story" is a lie, or at least doesn’t serve us very well… and we are all NOW awakening from a story that wasn’t working. One that is crumbling from the inside out. You know it, and I know it... OUR STORY NEEDS TO CHANGE… Doesn’t it? …We need a new story. One that is more humane, and more fun. One with a happy ending. Maybe we, here, together, are at the beginning of the new story!
Let’s look more closely. You believed a lot of things about me. Real or imagined, that’s a story that was told. But remember when you walked into the induction center that day, I promised you two things.
One. You will begin to notice the Divine occurring all around you in a thousand miniscule ways.
Two. For those dark horses with the spirit to look up and see, a recondite family awaits.
Look around you. We are that family. And this is only the beginning.
It can have a happy ending…, but let’s focus on a happy beginning! Look at us! We have occupied this universe. -Collectively. Seeds were sown… And nurtured… With Your love and Your energy. Look what we have to show for it. (LOOKS AROUND) It’s amazing!
Now... Lock the doors and release the poisonous gas.
Hahaha. Scared you? Guess what? I get scared too sometimes. Even I didn't know what was going to happen today. Do we ever really know?
It is frightening when you come out on this limb, and come face to face with the unknown. Isn’t it? We live and dance on the edge of the abyss -- always. It takes great heart to feel the fear - and to keep dancing.
We've taken great risks. We are all dancing along the precipice. At the edge of the world. “The cave we fear to enter holds the treasure we seek.”
So I congratulate us, ALL OF US. You. you. and You. You, my son. I recognize how far you have all come, and I honor you.
Eva Bless.
