Imagine yourself centered within a golden egg, grounded to the heart of the Earth and to the heart of the cosmos.
At the heart of every particle in the universe, there exists a light—a radiant, unwavering presence that is both energy and life. This light flows through everything, touching and shaping the vast web of existence.
Indian philosopher and poet Rabindranath Tagore once wrote, “The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures.” In his words, we can feel the awe and certainty of a world where this same essence of life “shoots in joy through the dust of the earth in numberless blades of grass and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers.”
If today’s scientists could express the wonder they witness through their instruments, they might sound very much like Tagore. Through microscopes and telescopes, they observe a vibrant, teeming energy—an interconnected flow of life that fills every particle of our world with light.
Science has shown us that every particle, every living cell, every piece of matter is illuminated by this light. It permeates every mote of dust in the air, the oxygen we breathe, the veins carrying blood through our bodies, the soil, the seed, the flower that blooms from it, and the food we eat. The light is also in the paper of this book, the screen on which you may be reading it, the neurons firing in your brain, and the muscles in your fingers that turn each page. The entire cosmos, from the tiniest particle to the most distant star, is made of this light.
This light is energy, and energy is a shapeshifter. It becomes anything at all—a glass, the water it holds, the light that refracts through it to cast a rainbow on the table. And the table, the rainbow—these, too, are made of light. Because this concept is so expansive, mystics and poets alike have turned to metaphor: the ocean of consciousness, the river of life, the cup of love at the center of your chest. And to understand the vastness of this flow, you, too, must shift a little, just as the light does.
The Web of Life
This light doesn’t merely sit within us—it moves, pulses, flows. Tagore continues: “It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth and of death, in ebb and in flow. I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life. And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood at this moment.”
When we tap into this awareness, we begin to understand that we are not separate from the light or the flow. We are a part of it, as it is a part of us. Every cell, every heartbeat, every moment is in sync with the pulse of the universe.
The Gaze
A Sufi teacher once told me, “That which the heart faces, it reflects.” The same is true of the mind, the body, the soul. Just as scientists can only see what is within the field of their gaze, we can only experience what we turn our attention toward. In all spiritual teachings, there’s an essential question: Where is your heart turned? What are you focused upon?
In any given moment, there are countless impressions flowing through us—light, sound, temperature, bodily sensations, thoughts, emotions, memories, dreams. We are drawn to various filters, shaped by contexts and stories we tell ourselves about how the world is, how we are. There are infinite paths, each leading to worlds of our own making. Each moment asks: Which path are you facing? Which world are you calling into being?
If you want to know, look around. What world have you created?
Working Our Prayers
When you pray for help, the flow will often respond, providing energy in the form of inspiration, insight, emotion, or physical strength. Pray for peace, and a wave of peace may fill you. But the flow also answers with opportunities: a phone call, a chance encounter, an invitation. When we accept these invitations, they lead to new awareness and always to an expansion of love—both in our lives and in the lives of others.
Grounding: Establishing Home Frequency
To move in harmony with this radiance, we must also ground ourselves in it.
Imagine yourself centered within a golden egg, grounded to the heart of the Earth and to the heart of the cosmos. Visualize a tether, like a kite string, that keeps you aligned, grounded to both the solid core of Earth and the vast center of the divine above.
Anchor to the four corners of yourself—north, south, east, and west—to love, to the heart of humanity, to the heartbeat of the Earth itself. In this grounded state, choose toward love, allowing it to guide you.
Choosing the Flow
Anchoring in this way, you are steady, centered, and present within the flow. In this place, the universe itself resonates with every cell and organ in your body. You are a web of life, a hive of radiant activity, vibrating in harmony with the world around you.
This radiance, this light, is your true nature. It is the radiant energy that connects and sustains all things, reminding you that every moment and every part of you is woven into the flow of love and blessing that is all around you.
Note to Readers
I’ve created a separate Substack space just for The Flow Transmissions — it’s called The Guidebook.
There, you’ll find every transmission carefully catalogued into a Table of Contents, arranged in order, like books. It’s a quieter space, designed to hold the transmissions as a body of work.
The Flow Transmissions are always free. If you’d like to support this work, consider a paid subscription.
Beautiful wisdom. Thank you 💫
