How gracefully do you stride through life?

Today we celebrate a holy day, All Saints' Day! We celebrate this festival to remember all the saints who accompany us as teachers on our way. They assist us in realizing that we are not separate from divinity. They help us to integrate the fourth step (of divinity) and to understand and live as the basis of our being! Through constant awareness of this infinite space in and around us, we can experience the qualities of step five - grace and grace!

We know grace very often from the context of guilt. The guilty can be pardoned. Grace comes from a higher authority! On top of everything that's happened, there's another chunk that's placed on the people that makes it even more challenging. Only someone else can grant mercy! Another being decides whether we will be pardoned or whether we will burn in hell. It's not us, we are dependent on the judgment of the outside. Is that divine grace? Is that goodness, mercy, love? Is that really what we understand and want to live by it?

If we live grace to this extent and allow ourselves to be influenced so much from the outside, we automatically rob ourselves of our grace as well. We lower our heads, bend over backwards and allow ourselves to be ruled. We lose our own greatness, our confidence and the power that is our own. With this power, however, can we not “pardon” ourselves? Don't we have everything within us to "redeem" ourselves? Do we need a Redeemer or Savior so that we can live free? Aren't we divine enough to place ourselves in the healing space of love, to create grace through our own healing?

Grace is an expression of the "beautiful". A movement in random play, in which the sensual and the spiritual come into harmony. It's a yin and yang, the balance of energies in our being! This balance closes the gaps within us and the gaps with other people! Nothing remains hidden, we live in pure openness and in the trust of life! Life works through us and we work on it! We open ourselves to the healing powers of divinity and let their wisdom flow through us. It vibrates in each of our cells and allows us to carry ourselves out into the world and live with dignity! We gracefully dance through the rain!

We may recognize here that grace and grace form a circle that can bring us into a deep healing process! We can discover, learn and live here! Just like this November will have in store for us. The number 11 represents the guru, the teacher who takes you out of the darkness into the light! It is our responsibility to stand up, dance and let ourselves drift in this circle! As soon as we can give ourselves grace, there is lightness, beauty and the movement of grace. She herself gives us trust again, joy, love and awakens new grace. So this is a never-ending cycle that energizes us enough to be willing to make all the sacrifices (letting go) that are necessary on our path to happiness.

Grace is giving! A lightening! A process that requires the courage of grace! We admit our beauty and perfection! Nobody can judge us, only we ourselves! We are our own "judges" and the ones who can make the peace. Because isn't the peace within us (and in the collective) what we wish for? Isn't it the dance of life that we all want to dance? Isn't it the understanding that we cannot be punished or pardoned for what we are?* Don't we want to live as equals and let healing happen collectively?

Grace is Healing! Grace is the result! Mercy the episode! Grace the next elevation! And so on!

So I invite you to move gracefully in yourself and in life! how can you be merciful To you, to others! What happens to you as a result? How do you understand it for yourself and how can you live it?

I ask myself all these questions too! Tobias - God is kind, gracious!

I wish you a wonderful holiday with all the rest you need!

All the love for you!

*And here I exclude "crime" etc. But even here we must learn not to place ourselves above the people and not see ourselves as something better, pardoning/punishing!
