The Christ-Universe Within: Part III — The Orbits of Love
(A continuation of Part I and Part II — Letter to the Beloved: Interior Constellations. Also available in the archive at Dust’s Digital Cathedral.)
Now, as we were discussing in the previous meditations, I will continue to flesh out the way I look at my own microcosm in light of the macrocosm of witnesses around me—testifying to the Truth as stars in light.
Fixed mirrors following You, like solar panels tracking the movement of the Sun, ever refined and moved by motion, little solar panels ourselves, soaking up Your Father-filtered, reflected rays as love, stored in the reservoir of the heart, waiting for distribution to the hungry and reaching hands of the world—young and old alike, prisoner and freeman.
We store the Source of His Love as light that we might reflect it in our own little galaxies, where family and friends swirl around us. We function as apertures of grace for the hungry soul in need, within our own interior family-universe. We act as small suns, holding His light, giving the bread as it can be swallowed to those who orbit us, even as we orbit Him.
A father as the Moon, the mother as Venus, and our siblings scattered like Saturn and Jupiter.
We center ourselves on—and in—the gravity of Christ within us.
Christ centers the entirety of creation within the center of His Being, as He stands within the Father. We orbit Him. Around us circle the souls given to us to witness to—sometimes with words, but more often with action, and only later with speech.
It is essential that we allow our light to shine before men and women both.
There we go, ladies! God loves women. God loves men. God loves gay. God loves straight.
So long as He is the center we orbit, the rest is syntax.
God delights in the full spectrum of what He has made—yet when gazing upon us through the Son, He sees only Love.
So we have attention and responsibility when we orbit Him.
We hold an active aperture at all times, a direct invocation of Divine Presence in the face of the Beloved, Yeshua.
We must discern the wisdom and purity of what we allow to clutter our planetary orbit—our home life.
We could even be held responsible for the prayers we fail to pray, through negligent mindfulness or willful disobedience.
The calling is simple:
Tend the universe within.
Always look to the Sun as the Son.
Share what you have learned as you travel in different arcs around Him.
Reveal the wonders you have seen, Beloveds.
Sincerely,
Dust
