51 - Innocent Energy

There is a story of a terrible man, a cruel man, who thought that he was lost in every way, that he was damned for all eternity and that God could never forgive him for all the dreadful things he had thought and he had done throughout his long life.

And then the day came where this man did not know what to do in his desperation, what else he might destroy or how else he might be able to punish himself, and he ran away, out into the wilderness, until he could run no more.

Then it started to rain.

And as the cruel man stood alone in the rain, he understood that the rain fell on him just the same as it was falling on the graves on his victim, and on the stones, the shrubs and grasses.

And for the first time in his long and bitter life he felt to be a part of something, not the outsider any more who wasn’t welcome anywhere, who was rejected and hated by all, but here beneath the rain of mercy his deeds had made no difference and it fell on him, and thus accepted his existence all the same.

Can you understand this?

Can you step under a shower, quite naked and quite as you really are, and let the warm water become your own rain of mercy?

To let it slide over your head, your face, your neck and shoulders, without boundaries and in absolute truth of the actual reality accept that it will fall and touch and clear your one real body, and in doing so, to understand that this really is only a body, one body, without judgement, without fail?

That it is YOUR body?

And if you want to, you can allow this rain of mercy, this absolutely innocent energy to take away all bad things, all the sad things, all the negative things you or another has ever done to your body and let it be fresh and new.

And what you feel when you do that is the true healing power of our enchanted world.
