The Call to the Peak of the Rainbow Swan

      The Creator calls in many voices. Primalatemost of these is the urge to be real! Genuine! When one's perception of this plea becomes dulled by muffling layers of stilted sophistication and narrowed pragmatism, existence, in all of its invigorating tones and hues, is abandoned for some substitute that is only a fiction.

      Sincerity is the soul attitude whereby one offers to others the genuineness within oneself.

      Trust is the soul attitude whereby one accepts from others the genuineness within them.

      Only genuineness is reality: all else is unreal.

      Sincerity and trust are an attitude of offering reality and of accepting reality, respectively, both of which are required in order to be real. Sincerity extends one's personal foundations down to the infinite bedrock. Trust extends one's personal ceiling up to the possibilities of infinity. These two personal attributes are necessary, but not sufficient, in order for one to be real.
      They are the first prerequisite.

      Summon up in your imagination, if you will, an image of the sea of life: endless vitality and diversity, summoned into existence by the hand of the Creator and impelled toward individual and collective destiny. Visualize a bright current flowing through the sea of sentiency. This is the processional of the children of light, individuals who have heeded the call of the Rainbow Swan and are being guided into the realms of light and beauty. Draw near in imagination. Inspect the luminous faces. Do you see? The childlike innocence?

      The call to the peak of the Rainbow Swan is the divine invitation to be once more a child, this time a cosmic child, imbued with sincerity and trust admixed with experience and consciously chosen values of higher meaning.
