Christ Light

Dear Family and Friends,


It is good to write again.

The last nineteen months have been both hard and painful, but also full of new and bright beginnings. I have experienced grief and grief has its own path that has molded my spirit into a deeper and more complete Me. The person who I am now is not the person I was before. However, I am pleased with what I have become. I am even more pleased with the profound knowledge that I will become even More.

Today as I look around me, I see that I have emerged out of mind-numbing pain and exhaustion into a world of Light and Hope. This feeling of great expectation would not have been possible without a prior and solid foundation in God’s Love, the eternal help of his Angels, and the support of family and friends. I know my family and I are truly blessed.

Ron is always with us, and that is something I have never doubted. I have never doubted because of the prior knowledge that God, the Father, instilled in me before my birth and during the years prior to Ron’s passing. I not only understand on the surface, but I have a solid Knowing that he is happy and truly home. I know this because I have never, even as a child, felt death was the end. It is a beginning and when we return home we become More. We have been More before we were born, and there is More to us now. Love is God, and Love is eternal. Within Love, we are all connected and forevermore, without end.

I knew this concept of Oneness as a child, even though I would not have been able to explain it. I just accepted it as a child does. It just WAS. I remember when I was about five, being fascinated by rocks, especially ones with formations of geodes in them. Our backyard was a mine of them. I had a box of my favorite rocks that I had collected. I remember one day sitting on the ground in our backyard holding a geode in each hand and an Awareness came over me. I felt like I was expanded, and this feeling of intense Love came over me. I was no longer just me, but part of something Whole. Of course, at age five, I had no way of verbalizing this, but it became my own secret; a space that I would return too as often as I could. I discovered that if I was very still and asked, “Who Am I?” I could reach this feeling of expansion within this Oneness, that I know is God, the Father, pure Love. This Oneness was always intoxicating and fleeting and then as soon as my human mind realized I was One, the connection would separate. I cannot even now express in human words, this feeling, that I still feel at times in deep meditation, this Completeness. This Oneness. Pure Bliss. Light. I only know…

I never feel alone.

-And that is a gift from God, the Father, because it is Him.

It is my wish that all people could have this Awareness because we are all connected, and all have this ability. In this stillness of pure Love, there are no words or thoughts to separate. No one religion. No opinions. No one way to live. No one favored group of people. No weighing of guilt. Just Love in its purest form. The Father loves each of us and all of us without condition. Completely.

This Awareness becomes clear in the Light. This knowledge that we come from, and are One within, the Creator. He created us to return to Him. That is our sole purpose. Everything between is part of this journey…

…through Christ, the Light.

Wishing you a Wonderful Christmas! – Jody
