Self Healing and Healing the World
Declan includes all of us in his life full of joy and Oneness
Where are we going?
Who is going with us?
Are we in love?
Is it love that makes the world go around?
My youth was full of love, with just enough indifference and ignorance to make it clear by contrast what this love was.
I was part of a huge family, we were eight children, five boys and three girls - I still am part of this clan with cousin galore - although I do not communicate with many of them too often - or have not for years. However, they are there and it is amazing how quickly the love reinstates when the opportunity comes about. I will give examples later.
My youth is still full of love. I feel almost 75 years young through being in a constant state of happiness, joy and interesting experience.
I do not think I could have ever managed to envisage a relationship more love hidden than I have had over the past almost 50 years with Margrit. It is not only that she is a super person with a marvelously lively mind and spirit but that the way we can relate on a day-to-day basis has grown - though thick and thin - to be a mutual Achtsamkeit and Understanding, a realization of Who-the-Other-Is with nothing being ever taken for granted, full of richness and joy, movement and fun, beauty and truth - it is not always bliss but it is darned near to it.
I also have a highly lovable relationship with my daughter Antja, sometime not seeing her for even a half year but usually in monthly contact in some way or other, phone, skype, e-mail or in person - even if it is only on the way through Bremen, where she lives, for an hour or two. A hearty relationship which also applies to her daughter Nora Oberländer- my only true granddaughter. I say it that way because I have so many surrogate granddaughters in this community where I live - and there is a strong love relationship there too.
My name in this incarnation is DECLAN = Déug lán or literally translated ‘of God full'. Well, we are all FULL OF GOD. This is not only my theory - it has been told us by many prophets, mystics and by God herself (see, for instance, Consersations with God, an uncommon dialogue, Neale Donald Walsh, 1995).
But I seem to have been given a little more brightness than some others in this life. This is a wonderful attribute and keeps me generally in a positive frame of mind. I see it, though, also as a responsibility with which I can play, with which I realized I need to work as a spiritual healer to fulfill my task on this Earth this time. I see it as a task to connect up this every heart, one at a time, every person that comes into my life. We are all One in God. Yes, everyone without exception - no separation. This is my contribution to Peace.
"We must choose between ancient myths, age-old cultural stories, and outdated theologies, or new truths, greater wisdoms, and grander visions of a God and a World united, expressing as One, projecting the glory of Life Itself into life itself, and producing the possibility, at last, of a New Way of Life for All Humanity." (What God Wants, Neale Donald Walsh, 2005)
We have now come to see the ‘devine' in ourselves and in each other.
I associate and play on words, continually, something like James Joyce did, who by the way lived in the same part of County Dublin as I did as a child.
Sometime we cannot miss seeing the devil in the other. The word DEVIL and DEVINE are very near to each other. Devil comes from de-fill or de-vil or d-evil. Evil is the turning around of LIVE. So we really need to de-fill ourselves to enjoy LIFE.
