Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters!

Heaven’s realm is not so far from you; experiencing its reality simply requires a shift in self-perception and a willingness by you carpenters, you creators of the human sort, to raise high the roof beam.
For eons, humans have existed in (and of) the belief in their separation from God, the Source of All Existence, rather than in their Oneness with It. Indeed, aspects of the belief as expressed for the past two millennia go so far as to purport that your very existence is “dirty,” that you are flawed by something called original sin. It is preached in places all over your globe that the only way “in” to the heavenly realms is by believing that one, and only one, of Earth’s many gloried teachers is the only child of God. The consequence, it is told, of not being a believer is exile from the realm of life into a living death, located somewhere within the fiery regions of the bowels of earth (which itself is just a waystation to be used, even exploited).
Over thousands of years, Truth has been distorted and bent by the will of those wishing to amass and wield power over others. One of the most damaging and destructive forces resulting from the separation belief, avarice, wears the false face of superiority and brims over with arrogance. Greed exists totally without thought for either one’s fellow human beings or their companion kingdoms.
Truth, so often distorted and bent, still remains. As the higher-reaching consciousness of many of Earth’s inhabitants continues to cast greater and greater light upon the fearful side of humanity, greed’s destruction and strength becomes more chaotic and visible. Such escalation is to be expected, given that it is in a fight to its death. Be assured, it will not survive in the times ahead. And while your generation will not likely see the end of the greed that has ruled much of your planet for eons, your great-grandchildren will be living in a time of Light, an era filled with love, compassion, and communion with all living things. Once more your planet and all its creations will exist in a state of true and grand harmony.
What each of you does everyday contributes to that coming era, everything you think and communicate and create is now, at this moment, helping to build that expression of total love, or At-One-ment. So just because you will not behold such beauty in your lifetime, do not think that your living at this moment in history has no bearing upon that time of the new Earth. In fact, if you are reading this message, then your living now has everything to do with what is to come, for your current generations are the wayshowers, midwives, carpenters, and architects of a new day. Those of you being the change are, in fact, creating the change, which is given life out of the shifts in your thinking and your ways of living and loving. As your consciousness moves to higher levels, you embrace At-One-ment first through genuine Self-ness and Self Love. Through this foundational shift away from the separation belief, you transmute the false, but deadly, energies of original sin to those of original love, the origin of your existence. In so doing, you raise high the roof beam, making way for “the bridegroom, taller far than any man.”*
Yes, you are indeed the architects of the energies giving rise to the new Earth where the old ways can no longer be supported. You are carpenters following the Soul’s blueprint to the fertile, fecund Ground of Being, which in truth you have never left, and to which you are innocently returning. Your inner healing, your inner “lightening” work, is the microcosm of the upcoming planetary macrocosm, in expression several generations hence. Likewise, the new Earth becomes the microcosm of the Great Macrocosm, the Heart of Love.
Know, then, that as you give birth to a healed human being, you create a healed planet, which amplifies and reflects the Mind of the Heart of God, accomplishing “the miracles of the One Thing.”** As above, so below; as below, so above.” Raise high the roof beam, carpenters!
Blessed Be.
*Sappho: Raise high the roof-beam, carpenters. Like Ares comes the bridegroom, taller far than a tall man.
**Hermes Trismegistus: “That which is Below corresponds to that which is Above, and that which is Above, corresponds to that which is Below, to accomplish the miracles of the One Thing.”

We are co-creators of our lives and the world. One of my favorite quotes is “Change your mind and change your life.” Not only can we change our own lives we can change the world. I choose to not see the world how it is, but to create the world as I see it. Thank you for this wonderful post. I’d love your feedback on my blog, Daily Spiritual Tools. Namaste, Sherry
