ミカエル祭に寄せて。。。Thoughts of Michaelmas 

同僚 Phil の 言葉

Thoughts of Michaelmas

Michaelmas is a festival celebrating the power and light of the heart. It is when we celebrate having the strength to stand straight and true. This strength is mustered from our steady and stalwart intentions for good. It is born from the fire of the human heart which is a power that can see us through anything. We can light up this power of the heart in the face of the darkest most despairing circumstances. Through this power of heart, we have the courage and ability to subdue, transform and tame the shadow, the gloomy, the sinister...in a word, the dragon.

Imaginations from Mythology

Michael is an archangel who does just this. He subdues the dragon. He does this on the behalf of all humanity. I think of it something like this....

The higherarchies of celestial beings are “hanging out conversing one day” in the infinite void of absolute all. Unfortunately, they are all saying humanity is a waste of time. That those folks down there (us) are a lost cause (it’s fairly easy to draft a rather dismal list of our despicable failings). That humanity is absolutely and completely hopeless. In a word–they uncategorically, completely and absolutely without appeal–“write us off.”

But wait, there’s one "fella" who stands up and says, “No, you are all wrong. They (humanity...us) have a spark of something we’ll never have...and we need it. If they can overcome their ‘dark side,’ and yes, I know the cards are stacked against them, then the celestial void will hum a new tune. An even more glorious symphony of celestial song could be put in motion with the help of a humanity transformed. They (us) could release such a roaring flame of liberty, of compassion, of free will and pure thought...that the heavenly spheres would resonate anew. New bold beautiful worlds could birth afresh and free.”

So, of all the heavenly host, just Michael—with only his sword of singular intention filled with his light and love for humanity—stands alone against seemingly insurmountable odds. He places himself before the dragon of infinite despair...and subdues it!

He places himself within the human heart and whispers against the roar of our distractions, “stand true, have faith, I am here, we can tame the untamable, you are human, you have love, you have the possibility of freedom, we need that in the vast void of all, stand fast, you can do this, you must do this, I am here, be truly human, stand fast.”

And, if we listen, we might just hear and meet the call!

Perhaps this autumnal time of year it is a little easier to hear. There is an annual phenomenon of a number of meteor showers that happen every fall. The most pronounced are the Leonids (King of the meteor showers) late autumn. It is as if the heavens rain their assistance to us this time of year. The metal of strength, iron, rains fire from heaven (burns entering our atmosphere) to aid us as the sun starts slipping further away (shorter days) and we go into the cold dark time of year (winter).

We can take heart, with Michael, that we have the fire and light of the heavens in our very heart and can stand before “all tests of darkness” victoriously!

Good fortune in your efforts of good will and heart!
