We have all had intimations and glimpses of the greatest secret throughout our lives. We have all heard the greatest secret many times.
When we discover it, it transforms our lives. We find it when we fall in love. We know it when we gaze into the eyes of our children. We know it whenever we become filled with joy and appreciation for someone or something. But then we forget it, over and over, and fallback into those old habitual fears and frustrations.
All we need to do is to remember this great secret again — and again, and again, and again. It has been said in so many different ways, in so many different words. Here’s my attempt, in my words, to express it:
We have a great purpose in life —
a mission, vocation, and calling.
We are here to grow, to evolve,
to reach our full potential
and contribute to the betterment
of the world.
This is what has remained a secret for most of humanity: We are far greater than we think we are. Our potential is vast. Most of us have just barely begun to realize who we are and what we are capable of. We have had just brief glimpses of the far more expansive possibilities that are within our reach.
Our task, then, is to discover our unique contribution to the world and let it shine for all the world to see. And when we do it, we help others do it as well, and the light grows and grows, until it becomes a powerful force for change in our lives and in the world.
We know the secret, deep in our hearts. We’ve always known the secret.
To love one another,
and all of creation, is the greatest secret of all.
Love overcomes all fear,
and transforms our lives and our world.
Peace,
