impediment – a hindrance or obstruction

in doing something.

 

Let us, each today, reaffirm our worthiness,

allowing nothing to act as an impediment

to the securing of our rightful beingness –

the attainment of our genuine, authentic

existence.

 

OUR WORTHINESS

We are each worthy of living, thriving,

being – created to soar, to reach beyond

mere existence and touch the heavens –

fully capable of transcendence, clarity,

and ascendancy – with our full potential

waiting to be revealed and unleashed

into vibrant being – released and forgiven,

without guilt or shame, cherished by universal

grace and understanding.

 

We are, each and every one, worthy to be,

to love, to express, to touch our genuine,

authentic selves, our life given natural

purpose, a perfect expression of Godliness,

a marvel, a wonder, an integral facet

of an evolving and expanding oneness,

a life-ness always in the process of becoming.

 

No one, nothing, no thought of guilt or shame,

sin or turmoil, has the right or capability of

impeding our rightful beingness, our destiny

with joy, peace, love, and happiness –

our heaven on earth.

THE APPROACH - MEDITATION GUIDANCE INSPIRED BY THE FINDING ON THE TRAIN STORY - QUEST FOR A POSITIVE, PERSONAL, AND CONTEMPLATIVE SPIRITUALITY

THE APPROACH

The approach to your inherent divinity takes work –

concentrated effort – a force of will where you take

control of your mental chaos – your ego madness,

and move your consciousness towards adopting and

evolving  to the true God qualities that lie dormant

but exist within you. This is not a sojourn on the path

to enlightenment but a fully committed act of will –

an act requiring total commitment and diligence.

 

The approach to your inherent divinity takes daily

training and preparation – for to inhabit the God

qualities of compassion, love, caring, kindness,

forgiveness, patience, poise, and creative power

truly based on the worthiness and oneness of all -

the connection of all life and its innate right

to grow into full potential -  this does not just

appear but must be sewn with the passion of true

faith and desire.

 

The approach to your inherent divinity – your God

nature given life and form is a work in continual

progress requiring an ongoing reflection, assessment,

and  readjustment – only striving on constant

feedback and correction. This is the enlightenment

that awaits when you approach this opportunity with

courage and strength of your whole heart – pushing

through  your own limitations and the misdirection

of the others on the path until one day, the door

swings open, and the truth is revealed.

NOTE OF TRUTH - NOTES ON ENLIGHTENMENT INSPIRED BY THE FINDING GOD ON THE TRAIN STORY - THE QUEST FOR A POSITIVE, PERSONAL, AND CONTEMPLATIVE SPIRITUALITY

NOTE OF TRUTH

Perhaps the solutions we seek in life are within

our grasp, there within us all along, too exhausted

after days of fierce wandering to voice a plea

for warranted attention or overcome by schemes

and hapless strategies, sounding mute against

the ebb and flow of internal dissension.

 

So let us again turn our gaze inside out, refusing

to be tricked by our own magic, the ego’s slight

of hand, delving into the disorder of extinguished

life for the note of truth we so carelessly let slip

from our focus, to be crumpled underfoot,

waiting for this day of atonement.

 

As we calm our shaking hands, flattening out

the message for earnest deciphering, let us work

to nobly approach this truth with open arms and

an accepting heart, knowing time enough remains

for even this undertaking, and strength enough

will come forth to bolster even this quest,

if we have the courage to pursue it undaunted.

PIECES OF GOD / THE ORIGIN - A SPIRITUAL POEM ALONG WITH A NOTE ON ENLIGHTENMENT INSPIRED BY THE FINDING GOD ON THE TRAIN STORY - QUEST FOR A POSITIVE, PERSONAL, AND CONTEMPLATIVE SPIRITUALITY

PIECES OF GOD

Everywhere I go

there are little pieces of God,

by gathering them together,

perhaps, I will see

the whole picture,

or at least,

like a puzzle partially

completed,

a rough outline will appear,

and I, with a little patience,

can imagine the rest.

POEM G. 3.26.2014

 

In my opinion, a key to a viable spiritual

quest requires the tenacity to find our

own unique perspective of God, which, in 

the end may sync with a traditional concept,

or be something altogether distinctly

different, as indicated by the note below

titled, The Origin.

 

This Meditation Note is the answer to

my direct question during meditation,

regarding the origin of God. Now,

this response may be impacted by an idea

I have been considering, or better put,

fixating on lately  – what if God-Conscious-

ness was not the originator of all existence,

but evolved out of the very consciousness

of all existence - formed out of evolving life

itself. What if God is, basically, all existing

consciousness - plus, all awareness - plus,

everything awake - plus.  

 

THE ORIGIN 

I want to say - look beyond the horizons

and into the life, breath, and pulse of man.

 

Here, within, exists the beat of a living God,

the anointed desires of all existence, made

manifest by a single intention: this sliver

of purpose formed from a consciousness

combined with being something more than

the sum of its parts; a primal force realizing

random exist0rs would not transmit a

greater destiny than mere being.

 

Here is the transcendence into an organized

being a conscious entity formed and fed

from the totality of each thought, sense,

feeling, aliveness, and in turn, growing its

beingness, reaching out to foster well-

being of all nature, striving to navigate

the parts towards a more viable, pertinent,

and self-sustaining existence.

 

Here is the origin of everything awake.

Life itself is a cycle of becoming, then being,

then shedding what must be let go to make

the way for what may be waiting on the path ahead.

This cycle exists within each sentient entity

and, I believe, is the very fabric of nature

from the minute to the magnificent – this cyclic

force propels us forward to greater growth and

potentials.

 

The other day, I had just finished meditating,

and looking up at the grand old tree that

shares my existence near our back deck,

I thought, what might this wonderful tree,

having witnessed more years than I,

convey as its wisdom. The poem below,

This Shedding Time was the response.   

 

THIS SHEDDING TIME

Only a heavy wind might shake these

withering leaves from tired limbs,

allowing once again a winter’s restoration,

regeneration, as October skies remind

of chills to come, as thoughts of spring

remind of the prize – new life rebounding -

so alien in this shedding time, yet even so,

is not this destiny to revive, to shake

full-leaved beneath a brighter sky.

POEM G. 11.3.2016

 

It is during these shedding times that

I feel reluctantly compelled to reflect

on the journey of my existence to date,

contemplating  my staggering, often fitful

progress. As I do, I realize that I come

to these moments of reflection, aware 

that something within my essential nature,

all human nature, perhaps all nature itself

moves us beyond our temperamental strivings,

forcefully forward toward what is often

our progressive but bruised becoming,

as the poem below so graphically contends.   

 

FORCEFULLY FORWARD  

We arrive at this moment transfixed

on this occasion when destiny, desire,

and hapless luck again intertwine

to convey to us chaotically, forcefully

forward towards potentials no more firmly

established than the prevailing winds

of past precedence, with scars inflicted,

hopes dashed, sincerities questioned –

again to bob and weave with a bloody face

and blurred vision until our weighted

arms surrender to the temptations

of uncertain repose as our hearts scream

finished, our souls refuse to waiver,

grasping for a piercing breath, then

another, until our pounding chest subsides,

arms awaken freshly invigorated as

body motion thrusts our fists of hope

with solid aspiration.
