Whether the change needed is on the personal,

family, community, country, or the world level,

we must propel this change through our active

participation and total life commitment.

        

PROPEL THE CHANGE

Each of us, through our desires and intentions

must propel the change we wish to happen

in our world – our thoughts fueled by strong

emotion lays the foundation and provides

the spark but our own inner vision must

provide the plan.  

 

Let us commit ourselves to be this change –

to be this creative force for good – for the

potential greatness that sits beneath

the surface of our lives – of our joint living

and being – knowing we are worthy of this glory.

 

Know and believe that in our individual

and joint efforts, we hold the key to changing

and evolving all creation – humankind

and all life – by the simple force of our

hearts and wills, combined and joined for good.

Our greatest Divinely inspired power is our

creativity - where we are capable of harnessing

the connection of our consciousness with

the universal mind of God, reaching into a thought

and creating a new form, a new approach, a new 

solution, a unique work of art where none existed

previously.

 

The Affirmative  Thought below, titled Creative

Flow offers us a reminder that our conditioned 

response is not always the best response, and 

that living on our creative edge brings passion, 

enthusiasm,  and zeal for our lives. 

 

CREATIVE FLOW

Today, allow your creativity to flow without

constraint or critique,  pushing forward

to exhibit and live a life beyond the limits

or preconceived notions – free to express

your passion, your art, your new vision.

 

Today, allow your creativity to guide you –

inspire you – enthuse you as you tackle

the issues of the day, seeing each in a new

light, with a fresh perspective, knowing

you have the inner power to transcend

the mundane with creative confidence.

 

Today, allow your creativity to expand

the possibilities and potentials for your

life and the lives of those you love and

encounter – expressing your art and

talent for living, loving, and being

magnificent.

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

resonate – produce or be filled with a deep, full,

reverberating sound; evoke or suggest images,

memories, or emotions; technical – produce

electrical or mechanical resonance.

 

resonance – the quality in a sound of being deep,

full, and reverberating; the ability to evoke

or suggest images, memories, and emotions:

physics – the reinforcement or prolongation

of sound by reflection from a surface or by

the synchronous vibration of a neighboring

object; a short-lived subatomic particle that

is an excited state of a more stable particle.

 

OUR RESONANCE 

Our thoughts resonate; our emotions resonate;

our every attitude, enthusiasm or inspiration

resonates with a clear vibration of ‘sound’

existence; being, communicating, through

the physical and spiritual universe, an

intention, a purpose, a signal of possibility,

connecting firmly to all surrounding existence

a declaration of determination which, in turn,

creates like expressions, a chorus, a harmony

of continual becoming, sounding, rebounding,

resounding.

 

It is essential that our sonic communication

matches our desires, our true intentions;

the pure, positive, productive voice of the

reach for our hopes and lasting happiness:

fixing on this tuning rather than the fearful

tremors and dissonance of the discarded,

the unwanted, the resisted; those vexing

expressions of darkness, of pending doom,

with their unfolding stories of possible,

dismal consequences, often replete with

life’s suffocations and sorrows – and instead,

in place of – let us draft a fresh story,

a more wholesome story, one of overcoming,

flourishing, singular transcendence and true

success – resonating a sound so strong,

so resilient it vibrates our life, all of life,

towards wholeness, more-ness, stretching

us upward, propelling us in unison with

a solid declaration of growth.

FRUSTRATION’S RECONNAISSANCE - NOTES ON ENLIGHTENMENT INSPIRED BY THE FINDING GOD ON THE TRAIN STORY - QUEST FOR A POSITIVE, PERSONAL, AND CONTEMPLATIVE SPIRITUALITY

FRUSTRATION’S RECONNAISSANCE

Frustration occurs when reality conflicts

with expectations, when outcomes fail to

materialize, when the hoped-for morphs

into the uncalled-for, when visions blur

and desires contend, reflecting the antithesis

of wishes, dreams, reflections, and even

prayers.

 

At these times, confusion and bewilderment

rage like a fire across a dry forest; dumbfounded

we assess our damage, berate our intelligence,

dismay at the research and apparent thinking

that has forged our choices, energized our

actions, only to result in heartfelt frustration.

 

Yet, does this turmoil not provide a message,

a spark of reconnaissance worthy of proper

reflection, perhaps even the gem of insight

required to shift our strategy, reformulate

our paradigm, clearing the way for a more

profitable and workable solution going

forward – a spark of genius.

BE EXPANSIVE - NOTE ON ENLIGHTENMENT INSPIRED BY THE FINDING GOD ON THE TRAIN STORY - QUEST FOR A POSIITIVE, PERSONAL, AND CONTEMPLATIVE SPIRITUALITY

I think all of us, at times, approach life

tentatively, like a shy child stepping onto

the stage for the first time, and it is exactly

this hesitant manner that slows our progress,

whittles away our confidence and leaves

us compromising rather than establishing

our well-earned success.

 

Having received the note below titled

Be Expansive, while meditating this morning,

I realize it is time for some self-reflection.  

I am not timid when it comes to pursuing the

larger than life idea/project/dream, but then

I often stuff it into a box that is much too

confining, eventually neutralizing the

idea/project/dream to ensure it is quote –

manageable, feasible, doable – and I am

often content to live within the confines

of this self-created box, even if the final

results are less than desired. Guess it is

time to free my cramped undertakings by 

letting each go free range. Thus, in my way,

testing the waters of being expansive.

 

BE EXPANSIVE

Allow the fresh ideas to flow today,

opening your consciousness to the vast

possibilities of this existence, be expansive,

shun the limitations real or perceived,

welcome the inspiration, the input,

the guidance available to enhance your

efforts, being bold in this exploration,

brainstorming with the fullness of infinite

intelligence – know you are the conduit

for the creative energy of God: so let

this force that propels all beingness incite

your imagination, let it set flame to your

wonder, embolden your claim to magnificence,

let it breathe the breath of the everlasting into

your perspective; as you grasp the throttle -

the thrust of life stretching to soar unhindered.

THE SEED OF GOD       

At the heart is the Crystal Soul,

the gem of life, the Divine Self,

the seed of God within you,

prepared to unfold into the Divine

essence of you, thought by thought,

prayer by prayer, it unfolds as planned,

a gleaming crystal of love created –

refracting and consuming the light of God –

translating the infinite into finite form –

powering – transmitting-receiving and

connecting with God.

 

Even if it has been forgotten,

it will glow again – released

it will grow again as you pursue

the journey back to your authentic self,

rediscover your spiritual purpose and

raise your eyes to the Divine again.

If you are lost, return to the path

to your destiny – an life authentic –

a life connected with God – transmit

and receive.

FOR US WHO KNOW - POEM/AFFIRMATIVE THOUGHT INSPIRED BY THE FINDING GOD ON THE TRAIN STORY - QUEST FOR A POSITIVE, PERSONAL, AND CONTEMPLATIVE SPIRITUALITY

FOR US WHO KNOW

Each step we take carries us through

time, a string of moments flash frozen

by a mind in pursuit of continuity,

a heart desperate to sort out meaning

in the dust disturbed, it is precisely,

this moment, when we choose joy

or despair. 

 

Even at its darkest, this life creation

we now inhabit, the muscles we empower

to move through it with tender strides,

to punch our way through the malaise

and grasp the significance of this journey,

allowing even the hollow warrior to

comprehend its delicate purpose. 

 

For us who know even more, let us

sing an anthem of unwavering gratitude,

even as we wade through the suffering,

our hallelujahs washed with the ardent

tears of living, our passion dented but

never extinguished, as we declare –

all is well with our souls.
