Although, for the most part, I believe our minds

mean well when they barrage us with the potential

consequences, often negative, of what has been

done or left undone. I understand that controlling 

our thoughts, our consciousness, is essential for

reaching a state of balance where we can fully

live our authentic lives.

 

I also understand that when I leave my mind

unattended,  I wake up as I did this morning 

with the list of potential life issues churning 

in an endless loop in my mind.  I always hope 

I will outgrow the need for mind control,

but I never seem to. So below, here is the

note I wrote as a reminder of where my 

mind needs to be focused.

    

RECLAIMING OUR THOUGHTS 

Today let us address and work to resolve

those issues in our lives that cause us

concern, worry, or at times fear –

clearing away any real or imagined

negative consequences, and by doing

so removing these voices in our minds.

 

Today let us address the litany of dire

thoughts given center stage in our minds –

that create confusion and steal our joy –

impede our happiness – upset our peace

and leave us exhausted as we focus on

what might be, or could be, at some

dreaded future time.

 

Today let us step out of the future with

its potential calamities, or the past

with its critique of our missteps, and

into this now, today, our clean slate, our

fresh start, where life exists, God exists,

hope exists, taking constructive action

to reclaim our thoughts through affirmative

thought, action, and belief.

What if  humankind is still in the process of

evolution, where the focus is no longer on

physical development but instead is centered

on the refinement and improvement of our

level of personal consciousness?

 

Taking this a bit further, what if our

next evolutionary step is a movement 

towards overcoming our ego dominance

and attaining what some would call -

godlike qualities - such as love, kindness,

compassion, a collective sense of oneness, 

and empathy along with the powers to cocreate 

our lives freely through conscious intention

supported by our own access to our divine

natures? In other words, we evolve into our

true God nature.

 

The meditation guidance below is titled

True God Qualities addresses this potential; 

clearly outlining the rationale for this 

evolutionary step and highlighting what

qualities we might expect to encounter.

 

This is a concept that has been addressed 

by others, as noted by the work of Pierre 

Teilhard de Chardin - Jesuit Father and

a distinguished paleontologist who over sixty

years ago addressed this very theory in his

landmark work The Phenomenon Of Man.

 

My guidance seems to echo the same sentiments.

Is it plausible? Is this where the current spiritual 

awakening is leading us? I believe this is the case. 

Your thoughts?

                 

TRUE GOD QUALITIES

We are here to assume our true God qualities

and powers by overcoming our own propensity

for negative thoughts, neglect, hopelessness

and evil by marshaling our Divine wills towards

greater achievements, authentic living, peak

spiritual experience, and our connection with God –

refueling our potential to live beyond the illusion 

of material pleasure and grasp the greater good 

of collective consciousness.

 

We are here to transcend - to transform

beyond our infantile focus on the acquisition

of pleasure and the avoidance of pain – to reach

a pinnacle of human excellence and evolution

ensuring our God powers and qualities are

recognized and grasped by those who wish

to go on growing, becoming, and moving

towards their authentic natures.

 

We are here to create heaven on earth - not

hell as it appears many are engaged with today –

our conscious focus as a collective humankind

on this heaven allows us to move forward, grow,

and assume our true birthright – our authentic

God nature of power – cocreation – and love in

balance  - all supported by positive purposeful 

action.

 

Although many have careened in the opposite

direction there are a growing number of those

who have grasped this message and are moving

in this Divine direction – working hard to prepare

themselves consciously for the catharsis of heaven

focused living.

FLUID FLUX - THE SPIRITUAL POETRY INSPIRED BY THE FINDING GOD ON THE TRAIN STORY - THE QUEST FOR A POSITIVE, PERSONAL, AND CONTEMPLATIVE SPIRITUALITY

constancy -  noun - the quality of being

            enduring and unchanging.

flux  - noun – a state of continuous

                      change.

 

God is the energy of creation within the fluid

flux of existence: the thrust that evolves us,

that improves us, that has taken us kicking

and screaming from our dingy cave dwellings

into the existence of continuously more profound

possibility; with a growing, expanding insight,

that allows us to push all-natural constraints,

and, even as our repeated attempts may fail

at times, often at an incredible toll on human

life, this spirit of God born within us, wakes

our aching souls as it stirs our daunted desires,

inspires our muddled dreams as we stumble

forward, humbled but wiser.  

                                                                                   

                 FLUID FLUX

        There is no constancy,

    only life in fluid flux,

        an ocean of possibilities,

        appearing, being, then

            fading; moments sought

            and then discarded;

     desired briefly, only to be

        repelled - as we in lucid

            stretches intend our destiny

                with passion embraced,

            knowing clarity melds reality;

           some faint semblance of order,

                    yet even in this turmoil

                springs a synergy of faith,

              knowing this continual

           birthing will spawn

                  a wellspring of new,

                       fragrant life,

                layer upon layer

              of potential being, until

           in moments unexpected,

               it takes form and becomes

                   a resemblance of our

                 most potent yearnings,

                   stark and appealing.

A major part of purposeful action is being “clear”

in what we are intending to do and why, unencumbered

by the good opinion of others or the misdirection

of our ego.

 

CLARITY

Search and strive for clarity in your life and your actions.

Clarity is clearness – purely motivated – clean –

transparent – connected to a motive of necessity.

 

Clarity is honest – truthfulness in word, deed, action,

thought, and emotion. Be honest and clear in your

actions – address the minimal purposeful action –

not the ego-driven action. Be clear in every word 

and in every moment.

 

Clarity is simply performing the action or thought that

is needed in the now –unencumbered by guilt, not diverted

by the past or the future.

 

Clarity is directly connected to what is occurring –

being felt – being experienced. It is not directed by the

voices in the head but by the compassion of the heart.

There are no shoulds, have-tos, doctrines, or rules

in clarity – only what is.

 

Clarity is clearness – clear and clean – honest, authentic

action in living. 

 

Find clarity and find truth.

LIVING FOREVER FORWARD

Today let us grab hold of a fresh start –

living forever forward and not in reverse,

releasing, forgiving, and relinquishing the

missteps and misdirection of our past in

the favor of a clean slate – a perfect unsoiled

intention available to us here and now,

today.

 

Today let us grasp this new opportunity

for fresh living,  moving within to find our

unique and lasting contribution – our

authentic purpose not tied to yesterday

but set free to soar to its own potential 

rightness, within the possibility of this

day now, today.

 

Today let us commit to growing and

evolving into this new being – this clearer,

freer, more connected force for prosperous

living – this creator of a new tomorrow

focused on what could be rather than

what has been – this God in us waiting

to be set free today.

What might spiritual joy be like?

Today this poem leaped out at

me for publishing.

 

LOOK

Look into your heart and hear

    the pounding of the beat

        of a thousand trumpeters

            heralding the way.

 

Look into your Soul and feel

    the calling of a thousand mystics

        chanting the words in your head.

 

Look into your essence and find

    the Divine nature of your quest -

        the light of a generation in darkness.

 

Look into God’s eyes and see yourself

        alive in a world of wonder

            with lungs full of blessing and grace.

 

Look until you see!

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

There are times when the evil that surrounds us 

 

is incomprehensible; we are surely experiencing 

 

one of these times. That it is being done in the

 

name of God is just unfathomable.

 

As the note, I share below reminds, a meme

of evil has gained a foothold, as our global

culture has chosen to promote all things dark

and destructive as entertainment, our cultural

pastimes.

 

Although, we cannot personally stop these

random acts of global madness, perhaps

we can set in motion a new  focus, a viable

consciousness - a more wholesome and

worthy perspective.  

 

THIS MEME OF EVIL

It is the idea of evil, the intent of evil that surfaces

and finds a place in the collective consciousness.

It is this meme of evil, active, evolving, flourishing

that forms the presence of turmoil, destitution,

avarice, heartlessness – only by grabbing hold

of the content of consciousness can we counteract

its forming and reforming, its gaining power and

presence.  We each must resolve to think it into

diminishment, starting with our own mind control.

 

This meme of evil has gained a foothold, and at

times, an upper hand in this life. What we must

realize is that humanity is the generating force

of this dark, destructive meme, forged by lifetimes 

of fostering inhumanity and greed.

 

Today we feed the preservation of evil by opening

our psyches and our souls to daily feeding of

media-based demise, criminality, hatred, and

fictional homicide. Our culture now represents

us, and it is often dark and menacing,

brutal, unthinkable. The meme of evil thrives 

in our world of intolerance, hatred, and 

hopelessness.

 

We must consider, each of us, making it our

mission to reorder our thoughts and lives, basing

our efforts on the expansion of good, well-being,

thriving, hope: turning the tide – restoring 

a consciousness of good, for all.

As I finish my meditation practice, as is my habit,

I often sit and listen for whatever might need recording, 

often resulting in the notes I published on this blog;

realizing what I am, is a listener, one of those who, 

figuratively, get down on their knees, put their head

to the ground, and try to hear what the universe has

to communicate.

 

Below is a yield from such an effort, not really

a poem, better described as a “Listening”  - like

a note from a thoughtful friend in the cosmos,

offering advice, and reminding me of the wonder

I am partaking daily. Like Emerson, I believe

we are all equipped to do our own listening, 

to connect with Spirit and share our musings,

if desired, with the world. 

 

WRAPPED IN LIFE

Sit still allowing the stillness

    to envelop your being, feeling

        the peace pervade the moment,

            breath upon breath, layering

        the motions of  your focus, here

    the unity of being exists, resides,

ready to reveal the secret of the

    universe - an energy of life within

        every cell, each thread, evolving

            with the oneness of purpose, to see,

        feel, touch, smell, and taste this

    experience of being, willing

        to cherish one morsel of the

            elaborate feast of living,

        a texture, a haze of color,

    the clang of an acorn

finding  ground – realize

    what a wonder surrounds you,

        celebrate the opportunity

            to be here, now, wrapped

                in life and alive.

The guidance below, which is typical of the

message I have received regarding our

existing relationship with consciousness,

reiterates the notion of a more robust and

vital dimension than we may usually imagine;

one that includes all time, all substance, all

existence – past, present, or future. Since,

in my New Thought perspective, God and

consciousness are indistinguishable,

with divinity and consciousness being one,

the infrastructure for our existence and

all existence, is, primarily, this field of

consciousness.

 

THE FIELD OF CONSCIOUSNESS 

Consciousness so vast, so connected,

so intertwined, it is tidal with the ebb

and flow of past, present, and future;

thick with being; it blends and melds

like a dense batter stirred by the very

animation of being, as it reaches, stretches,

presses to be more, to hold the content

of life erupting, until it constructs the now

we inhabit, a delicate blossoming present,

formed of past and future unseen but

always the essential fabric of this now,

as it unfolds on: know this consciousness

is a field of being twisting, billowing, with

undulating life – all life that has lived,

is living, or will live – seek to comprehend

this connector of all being, all existence,

all presence; this ocean of being.

The following meditation note is, for me, one of the

better descriptions of God I have encountered in

my spiritual journey. How would you describe God?

                                    

ONE GOD  

There exists only one God – nameless – formless –

faceless - all power – all wisdom – all life.

The creative force of the universe –universal life

and love – the essence of all that exists or will ever

exist. Through God, the breath of life is given –

through God all minds are connected – all

vibrations set – all evolution transpires.

           

God is an energy of life – empowering and powering

all growth and development in the world. God is the

universal life force moving all life to greater beauty,

kindness, love, and potential. God is the authentic life 

force inside every cell of everything we encounter

or hold dear, a life force pushing us to become more,

better, fuller, more beautiful, wonderful, and glorious.

 

God moves through you, with you, and surrounds you –

is whole but formless and is all form. God is spirit,

God is power, God is all and God is the space between all.

No one needs to become God, because you are God, full

of God’s divine love and intention. Your spiritual mission

is to know this God potential – the living God in  you –

alive – in full vibration.

 

No man can stand for God – for God is all mankind, 

all existence. Man can move toward God consciousness,

connect with the God-self, and live within and with

the nature of God. Is this not the way of  Mohammed,

Moses, the Prophets, the Saints, Jesus, Siddhartha,

Lao Tzu and the others.

 

Connect and become one with God – the one God –

the all – and the all less.

EVER EVOLVING WHOLE 

We are each the individual expressions of an

ever evolving whole, creating and becoming,

forming new the energy of an expanding 

consciousness, breathing each breath –

formless – faceless but alive – always striving –

always conceiving – always being more.

 

Our acts of individual creation nourish

the whole - pushing our boundaries and

the limits of the whole. The power of this

creative force is love – the love of the

initiative – of boundlessness forever

reforming, multiplying the collective 

energy of all humankind – all existing life.

 

We are truly the living spirit of conscious-

ness – bursting forth in an infinite variety

of magnificence. We are one and living in

this whole – the true living spirit of God.

WE STRETCH 

Often we stretch to grasp something

beyond our reach, for a moment,

during the reaching, our balance

wanes and it is as if we become

unfixed, unhinged, lost in free fall –

with our minds calculating the merits

of retreat, or further tetherless

commitment, as a burst of adrenaline

stokes our aching pride, pushing

our outstretched desire within tentative

touch; now, we, realizing, as with all

of life's contests, more is required:

all we cherish must be wagered

to own this prize, and before our yes

is even conceived, our souls extend

our reach beyond comprehension,

grasping, at last, our surfeit destiny,

for now, our balance restored.
