Yes, it does grow on trees, a question of worth

Musings On The Finite Statist Machine
When my sons were very small, they believed themselves
rich. Regardless of where we went, this
belief was validated. They were
surrounded in value, everything was a treasure, and all of it was theirs. Their shelves and pockets overflowed with it
all – reminders of adventures. Rocks,
feathers, bottle tops, leaves, shells, bits of rope and wire were valuable
because they said so.

We are on a Quest. By
definition, this means we are looking for something. It would follow then, that this is something
we believe we don’t have. Our Quest is
for Agape – love of self. And what is
love? It is acknowledging worth, seeing
value, and holding in a sacred place. It
is completely self-defined.

What if we all decided right now, to believe ourselves
rich? What if we all decided right now,
to believe ourselves worthy? We are
both. We’ve all felt a sense of
anticipation, a waiting. For a long time
I’ve said “You are the One you’ve been waiting for.” Today I close with “What are you waiting
for? You are the One.” This change was
not done lightly.

You see, what we are all feeling right now is our own sense
of indecision. We are calling it
“waiting”. We’ve been handed the keys to
the kingdom, only we aren’t sure where to find the door to use them.

Love and value are both self-defined. My oldest sons believed themselves rich and
worthy until they felt the world tell them otherwise. My youngest refuses to accept the world’s
definition and miracle gifts of abundance follow him everywhere.

What if we all did the same?
Oh I know we’ve been beaten down and it will take constant vigilance,
yet what have we got to lose?

We are building our reality right now. Let’s declare and decide what’s
valuable. I AM Absolute Value. Green pieces of paper are not. I can tell you what are though – trees. What if we decided, as a collective, to trade
leaves instead of worthless cash? They
are everywhere.

Suddenly, no one goes without. The land they grow on becomes a vital
asset. We won’t be chopping them down
for wider roads or cash producing crops – the trees are valuable. The Rainforest is saved.

Worldwide wealth and Natural Resource Conservation becomes
possible in the blink of an eye, with one decision; a decision about
value.

I tell you this, if you knew the power and magnificence that
you were – there would be no Quest. The
idea of looking for what was there all along would seem like a game of peek – a
– boo. It’s only interesting to the
baby. She is unaware you’ve never left,
and is thrilled each time you show up.

Just because you don’t have eyes yet to see, doesn’t mean
you aren’t brilliant. Decide and declare
right now where the Absolute Value rests.
It is in your very Essence, your Eternal Essence. It is there that we connect, like the leaves
on the tree. Individual and unique, they
spring from One source.

What we are waiting for is within our very heart. Freedom, Value, and Agape are but a decision
away. Once we see the Value in each of
the leaves, we understand the importance of the tree. Unity.

What are you waiting for?
You are the One.

I love you.
