YOUR FOOTHOLD 

Do not let go of your place in this world,

realizing your foothold is a sacred positioning,

firmly fixed, uniquely connected, attached

to the present, the past, the future efforts

to create a better existence.

 

Firmly, securely, you are fixed in the very

potential and purpose of our positive

becoming, your voice, your spirit, your words

will fill the void with promise, hope,

and the vision of a new becoming.

 

Allow you to be, stimulate the forward

motion, accelerate the becoming by showing

the way, be oblivious to criticism, skepticism,

even outright contempt, moving on, deaf

to the chirp of the darkness – knowing

you have light to share – love to give –

a new world to create.

DISTINCT TRANQUILITY

Today we stretch to find our perfect peace,

an absence from striving, an acceptance

of the ebb and flow of this current living,

allowing each moment to appear with

grace and simple uniformity, our stillness

encouraged, each breath in harmony

with the next.

 

Why do we struggle and stress, our

yearnings forever directing our frantic

movements: today, instead, we open

heart, mind, and soul to the perfect

peace of just being at one with this life,

to take in the triumphant parade of

existence, pure and natural, serenity

in all its possibilities.

 

So let us proceed today, ever watchful,

mindful of our real intended purpose;

to rediscover this perfect peace, lost

temporarily in our daily pursuits of

the necessities of living, opening

ourselves up to the act of letting go,

and in turn, being washed over, clearly

cleansed, by its distinct tranquility.

Let us continue on with our discussion of the "Now"

and its central role in enlightenment. Jesus introduced

the world to loving kindness and a personal connection

to God, but Buddha introduced the world to mindfulness –

being completely alive in the present moment. I would

like to start with a Meditation Note that I feel combines

both approaches with a New Thought perspective that

we are most likely to find God and ourselves in the Now

 

PERFECT MOMENT NOW

Come to God in this moment – the perfect moment Now –

this moment coupled with each breath – clear – untarnished –

a clean seed for life to grow and develop. Hold this in your

mind - a portal – a connection to infinite Divine love –

Divine mind – and know this is where God is waiting –

in this perfect moment – this Now within each beat of your

heart and breath of your lungs.

 

Connect with this moment and savor its beauty – its texture –

its willingness to be cocreated into any joy, any emotion,

any experience you wish to create. Practice living in this

moment – mindful – and clear-minded of each sense,

each breath, each emotion.

 

Hold this jewel – this crystal perfection in your Soul and

look deeply into its reflection and you will see God –

the Divinity within you – smiling and ready to move

towards your heaven on earth. See the face of God

in the crystal jewel of this clear moment and stay

with it always.

 

The past is just a memory – disturbed – the future

a premise –equally distorted by a frightened mind –

only Now – in Now – with Now, will you truly find

the way and the light and the Divine. Seek not in

the tombs of the past or the dreams of the future –

seek only in the perfect moment – Now.

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

scope - (noun) 1. the extent of the area or

subject matter that something deals with

or to which it is relevant: 2. the opportunity

or possibility to do or deal with something:

(verb) 1. assess or investigate (something):

2. North American Informal – look at

something carefully. 

  

Daily living is all about making distinctions, 

differentiating the incoming stimuli, labeling

what is experienced, comparing  and contrasting

each stimulus, to identity, sort, and file it away

for current, or future action-based choices.

 

I often find myself focused on what I am attending

to at the moment in my life, rather than what might

be beyond it, creating it, or fostering it.

 

From time to time, I receive guidance, like the note 

featured here titled Scope, clearly urging me on to

expand my awareness, to stretch my spiritual field

of vision, to perceive beyond the simple reality

I live through and with each day.

 

For some of us, our current spiritual scope maybe

all we desire at the moment, our existing connection

with God fitting our actual needs, not requiring any

further stretching or expanding our perspective.

 

I guess the question requiring some attention

is primarily - what is our personal scope; that is,

what are we seeking to achieve with our spiritual

quest? And based on this answer, if we believe

it appears warranted, we can assess what type

of scope, adjustment needs to be considered.

Then perhaps, the note offered below, might

serve as a starting point or framework.

 

SCOPE

Scope is an essential aspect of the quest 

for a positive, personal spirituality.

Scope – the depth and breadth of any 

earnest pursuit of clarity or truth; a more

encompassing perspective; a more focused

intention, one allowing us to peer beyond

the limits of the periphery, stretching our

field of vision, our comprehension, the

elasticity of standard or expected conscious 

possibility, accepting full well the folly 

of material, concrete, solid; conscious and

aware no such a distinction exists; here now,

our scope is broader, blending the dimensions

of reality with imagination, secular with the

mystic, tangible with the forming and formless:

and now with this ever-broadening scope, we

begin to reveal the true nature of being,

the continual incorporation of all with all,

a borderless, boundaryless wash of watercolor,

where this is attached to that, as our scope

unravels the folly of distinction, separation, 

uniqueness – knowing only oneness, absolute

unity.

As I write and edit Part Three of the Finding God On The

Blog Book Story, titled God Consciousness And

The Divinity Within,  I have spent hours reading

and rereading the guidance I have received over

the past ten-plus years. As is also standard practice

for me, I have spent a great deal of time

meditating and connecting directly with God 

to explore the topic. As I deep dive into the essence

of this message, I often run across guidance that

now requires a fresh look and understanding like

the guidance below titled God Thought.  

 

GOD THOUGHT

We exist within the consciousness of God –

a subset of the whole – a personal consciousness

within God-consciousness.  Our being, our form,

all that surrounds us, and all that is within us,

is God-originated existence.

 

All we see or experience is simply a thought

of God – we are a thought of God – and within

this ocean of thought we have our being, are conscious,

and we are bathed in the essence of God Thought.

 

We live within God – all we experience in this

collective God-consciousness – which our limited

consciousness is based – is found in this divine

consciousness.

 

In the extended vision of God, we get to explore

humanity – God Thought manifested in full form

to experience this existence. We live submerged

in the creation of God Thought – all made of the

same thought substance.

 

Within our  consciousness is an awareness of

this connection – this oneness of Universal God

force – the divine spark fully aware of its source,

its origin, and its destiny.

 

Within the collective God-consciousness is the

power and energy to create personal human

thought, the gift of creative power allowing us

to be one in our God potential, to contribute

to the voice of God in existence – as we live,

thrive, and create at the apex of God Thought.
