Nov.1: Undergrads Honor the Glorious Graduates

First Day of November. This is at the center of a season when we who are still currently taking up the Earth Life Practicum Course of Soul Growth pay grateful homage to those who have Gloriously Graduated to further levels of progression, by visiting areas where now rest the physical remains of their erstwhile physical vehicles. Their non-physical remains are in their diaries, and in the grateful hearts of all the people whose lives they had touched one way or another.

We are grateful to them because when we were physiscally together in shared and mutually-witnessed intimate experiences, they taught us how to live and how not to live in order to learn well the lessons for soul maturity, like unconditional love, unconditional peace, unconditional goodwill and the underpinning consciousness of all these: consciousness of the oneness of all.

It is a time for pondering our own mortality, the finiteness of our enrollment in this round of the practicum. It is a time for pondering which adventures in our own respective growth paths deserve to be remembered well and deeply thank one another for. It is a good time to contemplate the miracle of Life Experience.

It is also an apt time to ponder attachments, closures, letting-go, the full healing of the pain of "permanent separation," and welcoming of deeply-felt permanent togetherness in the soulhug of all.

We are all saints, in our own respective unique paths and stages of development as saints. Today is our day, as is every day.
