A New Way of Being


Wendy's topic this week was a New Way of Being, again based on Deepak Chopra's The Third Jesus. In looking for quotes, I came across an author who is new to me - Daphne Rose Kingma. She has such a lovely way of expressing this new way of being - I definitely plan to check out some of her books.

~ Daphne Rose Kingma, The Future of Love
"Something wonderful is happening in all of this chaos but nobody knows what it is. ...
There is a grand transformation afoot. A mysterious energy seems to be taking quietly over, and things just aren't the way they used to be. A new world, a new way of being, is being born in our midst. We can feel it.
There's a new softness in our midst, a way of being with one another, that is gracious and gentle and kind. There is also a beautiful strangely infiltrating awareness, a mystic pulse of connection that seems to be gathering us together. Love is trying to find us."
Isn't that lovely? Like the wind change in Mary Poppins, it's a delicious feeling, anticipating grace.

~ Daphne Rose Kingma, The Future of Love
"I believe that we were all together once as a single, vast, pulsating, luminous consciousness that was divided bit by bit, person by person, into the tiny shining fragments that are our individual souls. Love is the river, each human being a droplet of water, and together, in spite of our fears and resistance, we are returning to love, melting and flowing toward home.
No one can escape the divine upheaval of love. I haven't; you won't; your neighbors and strangers and family won't either. Love is coming to find us. All of us. Because love is our essence. Love is who we are.”
