Sequences

The order of life is a sequence, a string of events and experiences that we all have from day to day, year to year. Most of us take the advancement of days, months, and years in a casual accepted way. We seldom take time to look at where we are in the order of things unless there has been loss of one type or another.

Sequences are not always visible. We have our calendars and can visually see the days, the dates of the seasons, and the special days. We have our own timeline that we use by setting our references by special or memorable events in our lives. Sometimes these events are sad ones as someone dies or there is an accident or a loss. We need a frame of reference to, in a sense, hold our life together. We are much more time oriented then we need to be. Sometimes, there is a feeling of 'no time', a sensing of space or time being somehow different. Time seems to slow down or speed up and sequences fly by so fast that it seems there is none.

The Spirit has no sense of days, months, years, for it is and always has been in sequence. That is, that the sequence of the soul has long range segments. The order of life continues and the sequence of growth is unending.

Too often in our rush to meet our goals, whatever they may be, we forget to see that the sequence which is most important is that of continuity. If we lock ourselves into blocks of living time, we tend to be restricted by those blocks. While we are living our earth lives we need to interrupt the sequence and order of the calendar years and see beyond the visual sequences we see as our lives. Beyond comprehension, there are sequences much longer and fulfilling than what we can imagine. At times we can get a fleeting sense of the vastness and order that is beyond that which we live. The very fact that that experiencing seems to throw us off in our earth sequence should not be an uncomfortable experience. Instead, it should remind us not to get too locked in to our earthly sequence. If you have not experienced a moment of 'out of sequence', then take a fragment of time and observe the stars. Loosen your sense of being beyond the sequences of life.
