Significance of Broken Glass


Late in the evening of Wednesday, August 17, 2021, “Nadia M.” asked this question on the Channeling Jesus Membership private subscription group:

Does anyone know what broken glass means spiritually? In the last 3 weeks, my family has broken 1 glass water bottle, 1 glass jar, 2 wine glasses, 1 glass food container, and 1 glass bedside table lamp. I also broke a ceramic horse shoe - not sure if that has any relation to the glass. The first couple of things we broke while on vacation. And the rest of the things we broke at home but are getting ready to leave for another vacation tomorrow. Any insight is much appreciated!

I was maybe the first person to see the post and no one else had responded. I was inspired to write the following response:

You seem to live in a fragile world, where thought-forms are easily shattered and the life you thought was stable is starting to come crashing down. Not much can be depended on. It all seems up in the air and before you can react to changes in your world, opportunities slip through your fingers and then there's nothing you can do but clean up the broken pieces.

The solution to the problem lies in the very temporality and vulnerability of your present experience. A Course In Miracles, Lesson 153: "In my defenselessness my safety lies." "We look past dreams today, and recognize that we need no defense... In defenselessness we stand secure, serenely certain of our safety now, sure of salvation, sure we will fulfill our chosen purpose ...”

On this vacation, celebrate the music in the sounds of glass and in each other's sensitivities. Propose lots of toasts, clinking your wine flutes many times. Thank each other for qualities you've noticed that you'd never mentioned before. Rub the flute rims with wet fingertips until they hum. Plan major life changes with each other. Try to break a window by singing as loud and high of a pitch as possible, Plan your next lifetime if you died in your sleep. Set the glasses and bottle on the hotel room floor and dance barefoot around them. Reveal seemingly risky secrets with each other.

Live in and for this holy instant.

When I finished writing this, I was ready to go to bed. I noticed the time was 12:34 AM (number series: 1-2-3-4). If I haven't 
already written a blog article about the significance of number series, I will!
