The Pulse of Spirit
Rescue From Above
There are a number of references in the Bible about rescue from above. And I suppose there are many people around the world—whether or not they consider themselves religious—who hope to be bailed out of whatever trouble they might find themselves in.
This is from the 18th Psalm.
He reached down from above and took hold of me; he pulled me out of the deep waters.
And this is from the 40th Psalm.
I waited patiently for the LORD to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire.
He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along.
He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see what he has done and be amazed.
They will put their trust in the LORD.
Rescue from above. There is a rescuing from above that is real. Not that angels are going to come down on a cloud with harps. But there is a reality above our immediate human experience that is available to us all. The very source of Life never goes away. As long as we have breath, it’s right there. The source of Love is present with us.
We are being loved so much every moment of every day. Can you think of a greater gift or a greater sign that you are being loved? You are being given life by the universe. We all are. That’s Love. We are each being loved from above and given life.
As we know that for ourselves, we become the ones who are coming into the world from above to rescue it from its troubles by our presence. We are coming from above. That’s the very nature of incarnation.
You could look at this as a historical matter. When we were born, we came from out of the Invisible into human flesh. That’s just the plain fact of it. We weren’t manifest in form, and then we were. But this isn’t only historical. It is happening right here and now.
Here am I; send me. We come from an invisible place into the visible, to bring creativity into the world. We could think of the state of the world globally. And if you look at the world today, it clearly needs something of a global proportion. At the same time, for each of us individually, the power coming from above lands in the here and now, exactly where we are.
Initially, it lands in the physical body, in the mind and heart, and in the conscious awareness that is individual to each of us. As it’s said, we have to grow where we’re planted, and we’re planted right here. There’s right here, in terms of our own individual humanity, and then there is the world that is closest to us and the people closest to us.
How do we bring something to this immediate world? And how do we perform the rescue from above, if we don’t begin with right where we are? That’s where we are empowered to channel our creativity—right here, with the factors in our own life experience, whatever they may be, and with the people near us.
Do you ever find yourself shocked by another person’s humanity? I can’t believe they could say something like that! I can’t believe they could be that way! If we are going to be part of the rescue from above, we have to get over being shocked. If we can be here for our humanity, we can be there for another person’s humanity. We didn’t show up in their life to be shocked. We are fully present, ready to perform the rescue from above.
Rescue may be a strong word. But you might have noticed that the dynamics in your own life do not go well without you showing up for them. If you didn’t, things could go downhill quickly. The same is true of the immediate world. Our presence is a critical factor. And so, in that sense, we are performing a rescue.
So, yes, you’ve got to show up for yourself. You’ve got to show up for other people. Any relationship doesn’t go well with another person if you don’t show up for it.
Your family doesn’t do well if you don’t show up for them. Your community doesn’t do well if you don’t show up for your community. So being planted in the here and now, dropping in from above, we have a chance to show up in every moment. We have a chance to perform a rescue mission, to save the world from where it could go if we’re not there.
Ready to drop in? To perform the rescue mission? We’re all here for that. We can have ideas about something global. Perhaps we have a world vision of hope and possibility. Some say we are at a tipping point. Some say we are entering a new age. And maybe there is something to those visions. But world vision is a pipe dream if we’re not showing up in the here and now. This is where we have creative power.
What is the nature of that power? It is the power of Life. It is the ability to make things grow. It is not an absolute power, in the sense that we can impose it on other people or on our world. There have to be the fertile conditions that are conducive for Life to proliferate in the human experience and in the world. And yet it is the power of Life through a person that establishes those favorable conditions for Life to flourish. That is what we bring as someone who rescues from above.
Part of the rescue mission requires that we address the hidden things that undermine the emergence of Life in human experience—the hidden grief, the secret shame, and unresolved angst of the human soul. The rescue mission brings the Spirit of Love from on high. In that Spirit, we see what has been swept under the carpet. We bring the only thing that has the power to heal the hidden hurts—the Spirit of the Highest Love.
As there is a collective of individuals having this experience, we have the potential then to bring a creative power that is global in scope. We then begin to perform a rescue from above of global proportions. We hear a voice from above that is larger than any individual human voice. We bring a Love from above that is far beyond any human Love.

David, as a human being I acknowledge and with you extend the Invitation to first open fully to what is coming from above, so that the One who owns the Temple may have full access, may come in and have dominion within the individual and the collective House of Being. The Master of the Temple, the One Who I Am, comes from above, and there is no reason to be afraid to open wide the Door, no fear that anything or anyone will be hurt or destroyed by the LORD God, or by those angels incarnate and in spiritual expression as human beings. So first we open wide in this upward sense. And there is another Door which opens from below and opens outward, through which the Word extends, that says there is a Home on Earth to come to, that there is a Central Holy Shrine on earth; that says this Body Temple is a Shrine through which the Word and the Sound and the Light vibration extends and invites—and reveals that this collective Body Temple now coming into flesh form is a Living Shrine through which the Sound and the Light and the Welcome is extended. If what is moving through this Door is radiant and full, there’s nothing that can come back at this level of things and try to usurp control, because there’s abundant radiance moving out. And if anyone comes in answer to the Invitation, they come from the East, come from above. It’s what comes from above that belongs before the Shrine and in the Holy Temple Home. So if anyone is coming Home, they’ll come from above, walking from the East towards the Source of the Invitation, and they’ll enter the Door from above. The only way to come Home and come in is from above.
Daily the elements of the earth teaches us love by winds waves incredible beautiful ocean ,sky rays and touch of human kindness simple Task or kindness words ,love shapes us all without love like dark lonely planet.we all need love .We connect via love of humanity ,praise connections ideas and opportunities and optism and good thinking for all humans X
When I got hijacked a couple of years back the idea of rescue wasn’t exactly on my mind so much as handling a dangerous situation as best I could. I prayed for presence of mind and somehow, I remembered Jesus saying, “Love your enemy”. Something at that point changed in the whole scenario. The perpetrator took flight though he left with my brand-new Smart Phone! The incident could have been very different as it was evident his initial plan was thwarted. I was fortunate and could say I was rescued from above. I felt a guardian angel was at work.
South African President, Cyril Ramaphosa stood his ground at the Oval Office this week as US President Donald Trump was clearly setting the agenda for talks. An accompanying entourage of eager international reporters were also present with a clamour of opinionated commentary.
Jerry, you are such a good model of what David has presented here for us. You openly care for All – for your community, the animals, the greenery and the flowers – I have appreciated your kindness all these years and love bringing love being able to Hold you in Surround.
As you indicate in this inspiring Pulse, David, “We have a chance to perform a rescue mission, to save the world from where it could go if we’re not there.” I’ve known for decades that this is my life’s purpose, and so, empowered from Above, I will play my part with the emerging spiritual body on earth to bring humanity back into alignment with the creative process of life.
