The spring season has awakened new forces within me. It's as if all the pent up energy gathered in the winter is now bursting, as with the life around me! Buds are coming to life, shoots are springing forth, hibernating animals are awakening, people are now outside more often- ah, the beauty of spring! Everyday is filled with immersion to Life and, though the sun is setting later in the evening, time seems not enough with the amount of work that needs to be done in the homestead.
Within this bustle of spring, a strong rain, such as today, visits us and bestowing me some quality time to pause and reflect again on what I have been doing so far.
In this season, farmers here in Hokkaido are all so busy with the plantings, land preparations, fixing structure, repairing machines, and all other matters that are needed in farming. There are moments when I get caught in their rhythm and that feeling of "I have to be as busy as them" arises. In these moments, my actions are misguided, the results of these actions are poor, I am drained of energy, and most importantly, I am not inspired by Love. In these moments, I am reminded by my Land, that what I am doing, my purpose is different. I am not living to force the land to produce food for money, I am not living to slave myself off to the system, I am here to create a family homestead, a Space of Love for my family and my co-creator.
What exactly is a Space of Love? Why am I not calling this a farm or a retreat place?
The Space of Love is a term set forth by Anastasia in the Ringing Cedars of Russia Series written by Vladimir Megre based on his encounter with her. The Space of Love is a land where your family line, your ancestors and descendants, will exist eternally and harmoniously enveloped in the bosoms of Love. Living in the Space means you are to build a house in your land with your own hands, grow food with Love, enjoy the Creations, and give birth to a fully-fledged human. Amidst all these Co-creation, true joy will be felt not only by you and your family, but also the Creations all around. Many of the problems so far in the history, in our community, and within ourselves arise from the fact that we were born without being a fully-fledged human. Physically, we may be functional, but mentally and spiritually, we are tremendously lacking. We are lost, we do not know were we belong and what is our purpose, we think we are disconnected with the Source, when in fact we always are. The Space of Love remedies all of these issues. Within the Space, we are always in direct connection with the Creations, thus the Creator. We are not swayed by dogmas or needless philosophies because everyday, every moment, we are in communication with Oneness. We are mindful, we are always in the present moment because as we step out of the house, we are immediately surrounded by Love, fruit trees planted in Love, flowering trees and shrubs planted with Love perfume the air with ethers beneficial for us, grasses and herbs tended with care and Love heal our bodies, trees that filter and protect our Space from destructive energies, and most importantly, we are surrounded by people who sincerely Loves us and co-creates with us. A child born in this Space absorbs all of these and becomes a person worthy of carrying the crown of a Creator. In fact, we are all worthy, only if we are aware that we are worthy. We are not meant to destroy, we are meant to Create, to foster, and to bring joy from all of these.
What I and many other people around the globe are doing is not a farm, we are not looking at the land as a money making machine. We are also not making a retreat house where you only visit from time to time. We are building a Space where our family will live every moment in resplendent Love. We are trying to understand each plant, each grass, each sapling, each tree, each animal that visits us. We know that the Land will provide for us, will reflect the same Love if we pour into it same Love and effort. By no means we are lazy, for we know that whatever we put into the land, it will return thousandfold to us.
Of course, land these days cost a fortune and not everyone can immediately build their own Kin's Domain. It's as if a system was made purposely to create this hurdle for those who want to build their Space of Love. This is currently one of the hurdles that I am contemplating on but I know for certain that this will be overcome in proper time. In all honesty, I still do not know the answer but I am sure it will manifest in this lifetime.
In the meantime, those of us who are fortunate enough to have their own land, must continue to build and put in more inspired effort to build a paradise here on Earth so that more people can see and be enveloped in our Spaces of Love.
My current physically present Co-creator.
No matter how lifeless it may seem during the winter, in the eyes of a Creator, Life is always stirring within. Manifestation takes time, but it is already there.
