LIFE FRESHLY CONCEIVED

Let us accept our inner power to create

the life of our dreams, the life we have

envisioned – prayed for – desired so

long using this life, we now live – now

inhabit as the canvas, the foundation

for our efforts.

 

Let us, through our inner power, see

this life we now live with more clarity

and balanced assessment – let us

determine where less is called for and

more is required, what must disappear

and what must expand into a stronger

presence.

 

Let us now, with this reassessment

completed, use our cocreative power

to envision this freshly conceived life

into a working model to guide our

prayers, infuse our affirmations, give

life to our meditations, propelling our

actual efforts with centered emotion

and right attitude as this new thought

takes form.

resolute (adj) – admirably purposeful,

determined, unwavering. The thesaurus

adds – single-minded, steadfast, stalwart,

persistent, tenacious, strong-willed.

 

There is often so much about our modern

world that suggests ethical flexibility may

actually, be a virtue rather than a misstep.

The cutting of corners often seems prudent,

especially given that  “others” are most

certainly engaged in similar actions.

Yet, to be authentic, my guidance reminds

to be resolute in regards to the truth -

our truth, our vision of the way the world

should be approached and manifested.

 

OUR BOND 

Standing tall before adversity is the quality

of leaders and heroes; refusing to back

down or shift course when either approach

might be considered tenable; tests our

tenacity, displays our resolve, focuses our

will.

 

Today, if life requires our rubber stamp,

let’s take ample time to survey the alternatives,

responding after careful reflection, under-

standing the quick decision often bounces

back to create havoc for the stamper.

 

As we proceed, let’s be fully aware of the

weight and significance of our vote, our

agreement, our support, our decision,

our course of action – accepting that our

endorsement carries with it our conviction,

our word, our truth, our conscience in

action, in short, our bond not lightly given.

A FORMING ORDER 

All the bits and pieces now strewn

across our lives, in time will find

their place, fulfill their purpose;

but for now, they must be patiently

and gracefully given room to settle

in, refine and adapt, to discover

their appropriate niche.

 

Let us follow suit, rolling with the

pats and punches, pliable and

malleable, stretching our arms

around the gentle mayhem –

all inclusive, comfortable with

the diverse views and perspectives.

 

As we do, know, within even this

seeming chaos exists a forming order,

setting the stage for a more essential

and commanding purposefulness –

a life more adequate than now imagined,

a destiny that serves us and all who

care to benefit – an effort of grace

and human will intertwined!

As we stretch to ascertain and secure our

authentic spiritual life, a life of enlightenment,

fully connected with God and all that is good;

a life where we not only thrive but obtain our

heaven on earth, we must realize that it does 

take a concerted effort, but if we will start,

or continue with the well-meaning faithful

steps mentioned in the note below, momentum

will be established - that we will be caught up in,

that God’s grace will support us as we discover

with each step, our approach becomes steadier,

clearer: pointed in the right direction.

 

WELL-MEANING STEPS

Forward progress is rarely accomplished

with one long leap, rather it is the

accumulation of an often disjointed

series of well-meaning steps – taken

here and there – caught up in its own

momentum – establishing its earnest

success.

 

Often the first intended effort is the

most taxing, requiring that thought

of warning and potential distress

be soothed, quieted – allowing

each step a clearer path, a steadier

approach.

 

Realizing our own faith and

determination holds the key to our

success - let us give our dreams an

opportunity to thrive, waking each

day pointed in the right direction,

committed to the effort intended.

I believe, just beneath the drone of our endless

mind chatter exists the inspired voices of our

Divine guides and teachers, who along with God

itself, all sincerely attempt to reach us, like coaches

and parents on the sidelines at a little league game,

earnestly trying to get our attention, hoping to

impart not only well-meaning but sincerely

needed advice and guidance.

 

Yes, I believe the user manual for our existence

comes with audio, along with our own coaches,

if we will believe and listen. Since I spent most

of my life missing this point, I now carefully

document what I consider the inspired guidance

I receive and publish it here on the blog.

 

To accomplish this, all we must do is prayerfully

ask for assistance and listen.

 

DIVINE INSPIRATION

Stand firm in your convictions; undaunted

by the opinions, advice, or well-meaning

guidance of others; know even when life

seems most confusing, divine inspiration

will lead you, carefully, to the destiny

that waits.

 

Proceed with confidence, surefooted and 

full balanced, aware that your preparation,

intense and sincere, will see you above

and beyond any roadblock, any challenge,

any distress.

 

With a clear heart and a focused mind,

appropriately aligned to receive what

has been prepared for you, allowing

the universe to deliver your good fortune,

realizing the bounty will be plentiful,

the timing impeccable, the potential,

unlimited.

GLORIOUS UNFOLDING

The moments of our lives cascade,

then arrive like the pounding surf,

each separate but equal, always

full and robust, beckoning for our

purposeful attention, reminding us

of where our focus belongs - here,

now, present.

 

Let us take firm hold of this being,

turning away, politely, from what

was, or speculating on what might

be, and instead: plunge; dive; Soul

first into the foaming pleasure

of this living.  

 

Our life, this life – needs, requires our

full participation; no half effort will

accomplish the sincere involvement

warranted; rather, let us take this

moment, and each following moment,

head-on, thirsty for its magic, its

glorious unfolding.

LET US REST

Today let us rest and listen to the wind sing –

watch as the lingering leaves of fall hold fast

to their trees - dry and brittle but still wishing

to live on – smell the crisp air of winter coming

startling our checks as we search for our pockets

to protect our hands.

 

Today let us rest and realize all our doing

is but a diversion from true reflection –

that meaning is not worked into but found

in quiet moments spent in the watching

of life unfold.

 

Today let us rest allowing the unused minutes

to expand into hours and the afternoon become

an eternity – content in our meandering.

MAKING WAVES

Often we proceed with caution, living

our lives cautiously, afraid to make

waves or ruffle feathers, we then shrink

from confrontation, or direct pursuit

of what is truly warranted, what is

mandated, seeking a compromise long

before the conflict has even begun.

 

Today, let us consider throwing caution

to the wind, realizing it represents an

inhibition set in motion by our very own

fears and concerns, demonstrating a lack

of confidence in ourselves, along with

a less than grounded faith in the positive

nature of the world we inhabit.

 

As we do, yes, we will risk more, but

as we do, we will stand to profit more,

by choosing to approach full speed

before our trepidation applies the brakes,

by allowing our earnest momentum

to clear us for liftoff, ensuring our lives

burst into the vibrant display of unfettered

being, we so surely imagine and deserve.

commonality - noun: the state of sharing

features or attributes. 

 

In our modern, often egocentric and ethnocentric

times, it is hard to see the common existence

that we all truly do share. We, as individuals, as

communities, ethnic groups, religions,

and as nations have found it easy to promote

the intrinsic chauvinism of whatever group,

or faction, we consider ours. 

 

Yet, the inspired message I receive, like the

one here offered is always clear -  that enlightened,

positive spiritual existence requires that we

understand our role as part of the commonality

of all existence. That our contribution made

daily through our creative labor, whatever

form helps stoke the hearth of evolving

life and consciousness.

 

So may this note serve as a reminder

today of this commonality, and how our

lives depend on this common undertaking

we call life. 

 

COMMONALITY

Today let us strive to open our hearts,

to share our feelings, to express our

deepest longings, and by doing so

reach a place of commonality, where

we each exist, one within the other,

overlapping souls in harmonic unison.

As we open our hearts, let us speak,

write, play, sing, build, create, inspire,

plant - all contributing to this symphony

of an evolving existence - no one voice

more earnest or essential than the

other - all equal but distinct.

So let our labor be a gift of love today,

our totem, our tithe, our tangible

offering to this life so enormous, so

momentous, warming our spirits from

the sparks of its mighty becoming,

knowing within this common undertaking,

our life, all life, is perpetuated.

Let us venture deeper into our conscious, 

subconscious and unconscious minds

to comprehend our Divinity, our Soul, and

its connection to the Universal Consciousness 

of God. We will also need to explore what

this entails and how it shapes our lives. 

 

I would like to start with an Affirmative

Thought titled True Spiritual Power, which

is a good opener for this rumination. Along

with this, I would like to feature the Meditation

Note below titled Divine Force Within. 

 

TRUE SPIRITUAL POWER

Today return to your true spiritual

    power and the ability to tap the

God within you – the Divinity waiting

    to evolve you and transform you into

a work of art – inspired art capable

    of molding, creating, and shaping

the world.

 

Today return to your true spiritual

    connection – a connection with the

consciousness of God – the living

    spirit of God always teamed with all

who have ever carried the banner

    of God’s power in the world – with 

every spiritual leader who has ever

    existed, waiting to guide you to a

better life.

 

Today return to your true intentions –

    your inspired intentions and know

you have the power to bring them

    to life – give them form and create

a life worth living – a thriving life –

a vibrant life – your perfect life.

THE DIVINE FORCE WITHIN

The Divine within you waits for your arrival,

for your awareness to catch–up, to wake up

to your true essence and potential. You are the

existence of God made manifest in physical form –

always with you - always waiting for you to

discover the full potential of your Divine essence.

 

The journey you need to take and master is the

journey within  - allowing you to connect with

your God nature and the Universal Consciousness

of God. God is not out there somewhere, but

inside of you through connected consciousness –

for how would an omnipresent God not be present

as an essential part of each and every sentient

life form.

 

As a leading-edge God presence -  it is your

responsibility to understand, nurture, and inspire

this force for creative, constructive, and pure

good in the world. Move through the portal

of consciousness and discover enormous and

infinite possibilities for this life you have chosen

to inhabit and live.

 

It is your choice as to how you use and reflect

this God force in the world – but by tapping into

this Soul or spiritual center, you will uncover and

discover your authentic purpose, manifesting

it into your life as you move in the direction

of full cocreation with God.

 

Dive into your essence and discover the treasure 

within – your crystal heart.

Even as I am overcome with nature-induced

existential ennui, my soul tries to revive me

and set me back on course with encouraging

and empowering messages, like the one I have

offer here, titled Earnest Progress.

 

As I instinctually scowl at this sentiment

of worthy momentum, I am struck by its

simple truth, that whatever our temporary,

or permanent life incapacitation may entail –

whether physical, mental, economic, social,

cultural, spiritual, or, as in this case – natural –

that keeps us from fully functioning, what we

might want to do, rather than scowling, is

consider the incapacitation confronting us

as a “life cap,” behooving us to reach deep

within to overcome, work around, or work

with this life cap - incorporating it in

the accomplishment of our earnest progress.

 

EARNEST PROGRESS

This day, new, vibrant,

    fresh – waiting for our

touch – our gentle leaning in

     and forward motion – guiding 

the possibilities, determining

    the outcomes, grasping it all

with full vigor.

 

Feel the pulse of its being,

     purposeful, intent on full

becoming its aliveness ready

      to mirror whatever hope,

or reason, or common desire;

     input or creative thrust;

begging to be enabled and

     allowed to appear in total.

 

Harness its functionality, grip

      the reins, wrenching it in

positive and productive

      confluence – allowing

heart, soul, and consciousness

      to meld, melting, then

molding into the tangible

      expression of a leap

forward – worthy momentum,

      earnest progress.

OUR SECRET 

Perhaps we exist just for this moment,

or quite possibly, we have always existed,

a flexible consciousness stretched through

eternity, either way, our work now requires

our complete and undivided attention, as

what if's give way to what is, a life in the

making.

 

More is expected of us in this evolving life

than meets the eye, we carry within each

of us a secret, a one-of-a-kind ingredient,

our unique contribution, which when

shared, impacts all of conscious existence,

shifting the very sands of our beingness,

offering a new color to the palate of life.

 

Perhaps we are in the midst of doing what

has been ordained, or strangely aware

of the desire unfolding within us, or just

perplexed by the entire concept; wherever

we now fall in the continuum of becoming,

know all the forces of nature are poised

to assist with each sharing, set for our

unveiling.

of a clean slate, a fresh start – refusing

fears, doubts, or worries – focusing

fully instead of the wonder of this

unfolding now – vital, pure, and

limitless.

 

Let us, on our tabula rasa, reflect

and project only the magic of the

moment, the lively desires and

descriptors of a robust effort,

engaged in being and becoming.

 

As we do, we vow to allow no negative

word,  thought, or sentiment to stick on

or smudge our slate’s pristine purity,

shielding it from slight or innuendo,

fixing our attention instead on feats

of strength, worthy efforts, and noble

pursuits – the manifestation of heaven

might script into beauty, into wonder,

A COMMON ALLY

When needed, the direction we seek

is within, no wires or cables required,

just a moment of active silence and

a prayerful attention, an unedited

allowing, a soulful trust in the true

location of our founder.

 

Listening like this, through the chaos

and confusion surrounding us, within us,

stretching, striving to interpret the tender

words so calmly presented, let us

not mistake this act of love for some

pretense or false perception, being assured

the answer will surface.

 

Herein lies the opportunity for our

existence, when requested with clear

faith and unwavering belief, we each

possess a common ally, ready and fully

able to see us through the struggle,

to bolster our perpetual becoming,

to unveil our magnificence.

Hope is the emotional elixir that keeps

us moving forward, refusing to be daunted

by even the most negative of circumstances,  

a belief in a possibility, a strong expectation

that whatever impasse we now suffer is only

temporary: and in the end, all will result in

a favorable outcome.

 

In fact, the existential loss of courage

and hope, which actually defines

the psychological state of depression -

reflects, I believe - the more intrinsic

loss of faith and meaning in our current

existence, suggesting the necessity

of frequent and ongoing assessments

of our level of hope, ensuring we have

not lost our edge.

 

EXPECTATION OF POSSIBILITY

Hope is what pulls us forward, onward,

with an expectation of possibility,

as challenges mount and obstacles

will surely impede, we proceed with

a sense of calm reserve, knowing our

uncanny vision will find its medium.

 

It is hope that enables our hearts and

minds to defy logic and reality, so sure

are we of a positive outcome, we, in turn

accept no other alternative, and with the

strength of will, along with extraordinary

circumstances, coincidentally, succeed.

 

Perhaps, when our hope is assessed

as full or less, it drives our attitude

to flourish or flounder, so potent is

this approach to living, that our very

well-being flutters in the balance,

and in turn, the creation of our magic

or misery hinges on its appearance.

OUR INTERNAL MUSE

Perhaps we are better prepared to live

this life successfully than we believe,

could it be, in our pursuit to do what

is correct, proper, or expected, we fail

to listen to the guidance generated

by our own internal muse, our deep

soulful longing.

 

Ah, you say - "mine has no sense of

propriety, wanting to do only what

would make me happy in the end,

I might spend my time singing,

dancing, and celebrating - how

would I survive?"

 

As we return to sanity and don the

hair shirt of our existence once more,

often strangely comfortable in our

required discomfort, let us take notice

of the inner voice we mute, peering

deep within to cautiously redirect

our efforts, perhaps.

TRUSTING IN THE FORCES

Today, let us allow life to come to us,

to carry us in its momentum by adjusting

our pace to sync and coincide with

the unfolding of the day, relinquishing

our impulse to push or even shove it along;

but instead, just flow with it.

 

Today, let us look for opportunities

that present themselves,  little miracles

carrying unthought-of assistance, or

solutions, flashes of insight, appearing

out of nowhere, offering unique approaches.

 

Today, let us sit back and relax, trusting

in the forces of grace and good in our

world, to move us along as needed,

clearing the way when least expected,

marshaling resources as required,

ensuring success at every turn.

Horror, whether real or fictional, seems to surround us,

attracting our attention by its scope and intensity in the

news, or turned into entertainment; especially prominent

and graphics in the electronic games that occupy our time - 

as our chitchat focuses on the pleasure of  watching shows

featuring hardened criminals, homicidal maniacs, brutal

warriors, and a host of the living dead.

 

The note featured below opens with an instruction

to turn away from the horror. I do believe that in order

for us to evolve, on a personal basis or as the custodians

of existence on this planet, we must find the wherewithal

to refuse to participate in the perpetuation or promotion

of our existing culture of horror: replacing it instead with

one of wholeness, clarity, beauty, loving-kindness, and

sincerity.

 

TO ENGAGE

Turn away from the horror, the disappointments,

the pains of existence – move, instead, towards

the wholeness, the pure completeness of a life

capable and inspired.  Know you, and you alone,

hold the key to clear, unencumbered existence –

fresh life – forming, reforming, being a being

of wonder, a beam of pure transparent light –

know you carry the essence of all existence

within – so release the stumbling blocks and

reach, fully extended, to grasp, to engage what

waits before you – find the frame of reference,

hold it in consciousness, become the incubator

for clarity, sincerity, purposefulness, passionate

existence – open to be, to receive, to become,

and to engage fully in your destiny.

Life can be found only in the present moment.

The past is gone, the future is not yet here,

and if we do not go back to ourselves

in the present moment, we cannot

be in touch with life.

Thich Nhat Hanh

 

“Live in the Now” was a hip phrase when I was 

growing up. As conveyed in the quote above by

Thich Nhat Hanh, Zen Buddhist Monk and popular

author of You Are Here, who has translated this key

Buddhist concept that stresses the focus on the breath

and clearing the mind to live in the present moment.

This has been adopted by New Thought and has been

popularized worldwide by Eckhart Tolle in his books

The Power of Now and The New Earth.

The two Affirmative Thoughts offered below remind

us of the essential nature of being now focused. 

 

EMPTY CANVAS

Today is our day – it does not belong

    to the thoughts and worries of tomorrow

or next week – it does not belong

    to the could have been, 

the might have been,

    or the should have been of the past –

it belongs to us now – to cherish –

    to enjoy – to fully live. 

Today is an empty canvas –

    let us come to it

with clean brushes and fresh paint.

Let us enjoy and live

    each moment robustly –

all out, thanking God

    for each breath along the way.

Let us live Now!                                  

  POEM BY G.                                 

 

CLEAR OUR MINDS 

Today let us clear our minds of fears,

    worries, regrets, doubts, or possible

outcomes, replacing all with

    this single thought:          

“I live for today, this moment NOW,

    where my real life exists,

    full of wonder and real potential –

    clearing my mind of useless chatter –

    replacing it with an affirmative focus

    on this NOW."

Today let us rejoice in this NOW, 

    with all the joy that exists

at this moment. 

Today let us clear our minds.

We hold the truth within our hearts, so delicate,

so fragile, yet when faced without protection

or defense, it appears so seemingly obvious,

straightforward, even though for years we have

missed its point, its counterpoint. 

 

Now, faced with pulling up a chair to meet

again this old friend, we find ourselves reluctant,

oddly shy and reticent, wondering if anything

so quaintly parochial might still enliven our pursuit,

our purpose, our earthly mission. 

 

Perhaps all truth - personal, spiritual, even 

universal - is simple and unassuming, its challenge

not in its concept, but more in its adherence:

the application after the answered supplication

our real Mount Everest to climb, yet let us be

reminded, we are not alone in this ascent - our friend,

our companion, our true light brightens every

earnest step.

not yet clear to others.

spontaneity - sympathize with your causes -

but always making us feel life is more

scintillating when you are near.

STAY FOCUSED AND CALM

Often there is nothing we need to revise, change,

or alter to correct our course or improve our outcomes -

we simply need to flow with the current, allowing

the day to unfold as it will. 

 

Often it is best to shift our attention away from the noise,

the clamor of the needy, focusing instead on the calm,

the serenity of a manageable pace, appropriate action;

the handling of true tasks rather than controversy. 

 

In all of this, often we do best not to elevate the confusion

or stir the commotion by adding our panic or dismay,

but to instead remain calm, stout, and resolute that within

our tempered pace and focused breath we hold the key

to any challenge.

AT THESE CROSSROADS

In life, we often must proceed long before all the details

are worked out, before a clear verdict is decided on,

without knowing whether this or that is the optimal

approach or alternative, forced to rely on inspiration

and our inner guidance. 

 

At these crossroads, our faith is often our most cherished

ally, providing us a framework with which to measure

the perceived pluses and minus' stacking up on either

column, reminding us, even in this haze of conflicting

desires, that only one criterion requires attention. 

 

As conveyed, let us look beyond the the ins and outs

of daily living, to grasp hold of our spiritual purpose,

our rightful calling, our Divine mission in life, choosing

then the path stretching towards this realm, even if

we have only a vague notion of its whereabouts,

allowing God to attract us to our greater good.

DIVINE POWER WITHIN

Power is grasped from within, existing in wait for us 

to reach for what has always been our birthright -

the ability to transform our world with a single 

thought held in unquestioned belief. 

 

Transforming  power does not rely on the alignment

of stars or the forces of nature but on our full

comprehension of the Divine nature we share ready

to arm us gallantly for the vicissitudes of any life

we may by chance encounter. 

 

Today let us connect with this power within

and with clear intentions and focused thought begin

to create the transformations that will etch our dreams

in stark relief upon the solid substance of our lives

until, we, one magnificent day - we in all actuality,

find ourselves living these very dreams. 

 

Use your power!

ordeal (noun) – any extremely severe

or trying test, experience, or trial.

 

adversity (noun) 1. adverse or unfavorable

fortune or fate; a condition marked by

misfortune, calamity, or distress.

2. a diffiult or unfortunate event or

circumstance.

 

ORDEAL UNWARRANTED

Ordeal unwarranted – solid, steelish, toxic, obtrusive,

singular – requiring full heart and soul, muscular

response from weak appendages exhausted, limp,

atrophied, no longer willing or wanting or able

to respond: yet, even as the dust accumulates,

as shovelfuls of fate suck the very air from clogged

nostrils and dried throat, something dormant –

displaced, put aside and almost forgotten stirs,

flinches, finds life once more worth agonizingly

grasping, as “fight” shakes off a long sleep, pulse

explodes mind ignites, true potential summoned

to overcome, to triumph.

TURBULENT MOMENTS

In the face of adversity,

            let us proceed with clear

commitment and unwavering

confidence, knowing the path

            has been prepared, the way

forward will be, is, and was

            always solidly constructed

for our deliverance.

 

Realize these turbulent moments,

            these times of worldly suffering

will fail to touch the worthy

            essence forming our core

strength and fortitude, as we

            proceed through the power

of will, with worthy purpose

            founded in universal truth

and presence.

 

Yet, even so, with equal and

            opposing force, we stand

our ground without hesitation

            or question, presenting

a wall of resistance incapable

            of penetration, immovable,

fixed, firm, in place, unequivocal;

            until our adversaries capitulate.  

AT BY G. 5.4.2016

 

Ordeals – often appear in our lives

unplanned, and unwelcomed: usually

when some adversity we are facing

or avoiding is not readily resolved,

will not go away, or carries with it

dire consequences.  

 

An ordeal often leaves us unsteady,

reeling, angry, and more than a bit

hopeless, as it, initially, sucks the

life out of us, leaving us existentially

exhausted, in search of the fastest

possible resolution.

 

Yet, with this said, the Poem and

Affirmative Note featured above remind

us that we human beings are masters at

reaching deep within to find the strength,

creativity, determination, faith, and sheer

grit to marshal even the most caustic

adversities: to get up, dust ourselves off,

and go on to be triumphant.

 

WITH LOVE, G.

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 BY 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.

As happens to me from time to time, I am

inspired to see my work in a new, or at least,

more ripe or refreshing way. Such is my

epiphany last week, with my realization, 

that what I am, is a “listener,” using meditation

and prayer to commune with my inner connected 

Divine consciousness, asking for guidance, 

sometimes general, other times specific,

and recording what I hear in response.

 

I often think, perhaps the reality of this

note-writing endeavor I chronicle on this blog,

is to carry a message to some targeted reader

or readers, now or in the future, who will use

these inspired words to create positive change. 

 

Yet, most of the time, I intuitively know this is

not my concern, so I record what I hear, possibly

attempt an explanation, then move on knowing

there will actually be, as many translations of the

note as there are readers.

Today I offer a familiar blaze.

 

A FAMILIAR BLAZE 

Finding clarity midst the tumult

takes vigilance, harnessing disparate

thoughts, errant emotions, confused

desires, all beckoning for valid attention,

all worthy, yet all missing the point -

as alternative perspectives collide

and tumble in confusion.

 

Perhaps it is precisely at this impasse

when we must return to our original

purpose, created during more sincere

times, connected times, when effective

trumped all inclusive, when earnest

meant more than comprehensive.

 

With this in mind, let us collect our

thoughts like kindling for a welcomed

fire, a familiar blaze, as smoke gives

way to flame, our balanced restored,

our breath well tended, as once more

we proceed with the tried and true,

heartfelt, and sensible – as our

marker on this journey’s path, ready

and surely able to travel on ignited.

EDEN’S GARDEN

No fear is strong enough to overcome

            you – no doubt ponderous enough

to cause you confusion – no worry

            worthy enough to steal your time –

for you have the power to clear your

            mind, redirect its fretful muse,

enabling it to dwell on the bounty,

            rather than the false scarcity.

 

Tap the power within you to envision,

            to imagine the harvest of your dreams –

lush, ripe, so full, so plentiful it

            would take an infinity to reap –

an eternity to devour.

 

Use your tools of faith, belief,

            and trust to clear the weeds,

trim the bush, and at the proper time

            allow your creation to bloom –

Eden’s garden, fragrant and

            potent with prosperity.

I do believe we each are vibrational beings -

our every thought and action reverberating

through the cosmos, all 7 billion plus of us here

on earth, and who knows how many exist

beyond our limited horizon. 

 

My principal purpose, as I hopefully under-

stand it, is to communicate this message

I have recorded in inspired notes and

guidance, attempting to listen to a faint

voice and hurriedly jot down what I hear.

 

Often, I think it would be more meaningful,

at least more sensible, if I were just expressing

my own vision. Instead, like you, I must attempt

to decipher the meaning.

 

Sometimes there are themes that surface –

for example, when I posted a note titled

Eden’s Garden.  So as I began screening my

unpublished notes today, I thought wish-

fully, that it would be great if I found a

note as meaningful, at least to me, as

the Eden’s Garden message.

 

The next note I selected from the pile of

eligible prospects was recorded in 2011,

a full year before Eden’s Garden, the note

expresses that our spiritual lives provide

the soil to grow our Garden Of Eden,

described as our Heaven On Earth.

 

Could it be that our spiritual Garden

of Eden is not a place where we fall from

grace, but of salvation instead, the place

where through our directed actions,  

we bring the divine to life on earth,

by actually, growing Eden.

 

GROWING EDEN

Our value in this life is not revealed

    by what we do, but truly, by what we feel –

the measure of love we share with the world

    through our pursuit of passion, of meaning,

the compassionate footsteps we make

    in the sands of existence.

 

Our value in this life is our work

    of art, our creation – a vibration of such

force it resonates throughout eternity –

    awakening souls and making God smile –

a masterpiece in motion – calling us to apply

    bold strokes with vibrant colors.

 

Our value in this life is what we preview

    for eternity – providing the soil to grow

our Garden of Eden – our heaven on earth –

          our joyful noise to all creation –

                     so, let us sing, loudly!

Are we, as the note below conveys, in some way

standing in front of our cup of plenty and not

able to see the truth of our own good fortune 

overflowing?

 

What seems to hold me back at times from full

belief and acceptance in this Law Of Good is the

reality of the pain and suffering in my world and

the world at large. It seems illogical to say that 

we are overflowing with good when this intense

suffering exists in our world, and we are all,

at times, forced to experience some sort of

misery. 

 

But perhaps, all of this suffering is simply

what occurs in a world that is based on free

will. In fact, do we not actually learn from

our suffering, and as a result, are able to 

adjust and grow, so the next time we are

not in so much pain, or possibly, avoid it

altogether.  

 

My thought here is that the world of good,

and the world of suffering is not in some

way interrelated in a negative sense, that

is, the existence of one does not, in some

aspect, nullify, disprove, or impact 

the existence of the other. They are

mutually exclusive.

 

So, let us go forward with all suffering

aside, grasping for our cup of plenty,

and drink our fill.

 

CUP OF PLENTY?

Reach inside this day and grasp the good

waiting for you to receive clear abundant

good flowing in torrents towards you,

requiring only an open heart and a receptive

mind – know this is your birthright,

your perfect gift for being.

 

Realize there is no doubt, fear, or negative

perspective that can impede this flow,

if you are in full belief, lift your spirit fully

aligned, willing, and open to drink from

this cup of plenty – so today, turn away

from why not and instead embrace

the everlasting truth.

 

Turn, accept, and receive a good so plentiful,

powerful, and resourceful, it will wake you,

refresh you, and carry you to place

of wonder and magnificence, taking you

in due course to a lasting vision of heaven,

here and now and always.

BETWEEN WAS AND WILL BE

It is truly in these moments of active

change when our lives appear to be

most confusing – even when our

direction ahead is well planned and

worked out – the strings of our old

life refuse to give – stretching taut –

pulling us into reminiscing, reminding.

 

These times betwixt require active

mental diligence, clarifying our thoughts,

recognizing when wishful sentiment

has clouded the realities we sought

to change and amend by setting

this fresh course.

 

Let us, during this time between

was and will be, recollect our well

forged intentions; far from arbitrary –

fully vetted and meticulously considered,

knowing what may pluck the heart

strings upon leaving, just as handily

stretched our patience and restrained

our well-being, our flourishing.

What if we exist in a malleable reality?

Fully formed and created by our thoughts

and observations, much like the particles

in a quantum double-slit experiment?

 

If this is remotely possible based on our 

own life experience is it not at least

tenable that we fix the game, setting

the parameters of our life based on

more positive and encouraging thoughts.

 

This, in reality, is the true significance

of  the philosophy/theology  known for 

two centuries as New Thought.  Let us

all take a deep breath and work to fully 

incorporate the essence of the note

below into our day, and our  lives,

realizing our secular, and quite

possibly limited perspective, of how

life works may truly be standing in

the way of our own heaven on earth. 

 

WAKE REJOICING 

Wake this morning rejoicing for

the abundance and true beauty 

that surrounds you, for the gifts 

of life immeasurable, for this sacred

but burrowed moment in time, 

for this opportunity to fulfill your

passion, your dream, your desire.

 

Wake this morning rejoicing,

realizing what may seem mundane

is truly miraculous, this orchestrated

chance to exist – alive – refreshed –

capable of feats of wonder and 

strength, to feel, to conceive, 

to dance to a tune in your own mind.

 

Wake this morning rejoicing

refusing to allow any thought 

or situation to impede you –

knowing you are truly blessed –

a living, thriving being in paradise –

open your heart to it, open your

soul to it, savoring every sensation.

Over the past few months, as I have stretched

to conceive of the next evolutionary step for

the Finding God On The Train Story blog

content I share and publish.

 

I have realized it is God that is at work in

my life. I believe God is the very catalyst

for all inspiration, innovation, and creative

becoming: the evolutionary energy behind

all existence. Try as I will to remain firm

and fixed in my very comfortable place:

God will provide me with a new perspective

and fresh way of seeing I am powerless

to ignore.

 

FRESH EYES

Seeing with fresh eyes a new and more pertinent

vision, a reforming Gestalt snapping into place,

taking the first sustained breath, awakening

the sensibilities with a conceptual surprise,

potent, worthy, ready to thrive.

 

It is this process of conceptual rebirth that is

needed when every point of access is confused,

hampered, made faint and fuzzy by doubt,

often embodying our inept confusion and lack

of clarity, with the fog of change inhibiting our

forward progress.

 

Ruminate, contemplate, take stock of all included

or neglected, allowing the potential of a meaningful

solution to find expression, as it works to form

and reform into a pertinent course of action; an

inclusive proposition for future progress and

development.

I would like to offer you the Affirmative Thought

below, which focuses on the unique nature

of  human life - your, life, my life, all life we have

the pleasure of encountering.

 

It is often hard for our egos to honor and respect

the vast diversity of human existence, we are 

uncomfortable when faced with someone

who cannot or will not be easily labeled 

and categorized.

 

As soon as we label someone, we have made

an assumption about who they are and,

consequently, how we expect them to behave -

forever losing sight of their true authentic

identity. 

 

We then find ourselves confused when they 

act out of their assumed character or nature -

so sure we knew exactly how they would react

based on our clouded logic. This can be most

painful when dealing with assumptions

we constantly make about ourselves.

 

I would suggest we avoid our labels, false

assumptions, and gross generalizations.

Instead, let us enjoy the uniqueness,

the differences, and the eccentricities

of each magnificent creation, we encounter. 

                             

UNIQUENESS 

Today, let us honor and respect the uniqueness

of each human life - understanding we are 

encountering the infinite faces of God - 

defying our labels, our categories, our

attempts to generalize and soothe our

ego's need to assume.

 

Today, let us honor and respect the variation

of each human response - alive within an

emotional spectrum from bliss through

despair - feelings so profound and earnest

they color each interaction, communication,

and breath taken - truly indefinable -

leaving even the poet's description missing 

the mark.

 

Today let us honor and respect our individual

contribution to this magnificent creation 

we know as life - refining our differences -  

highlighting our eccentricity - for all the

universe to enjoy.

SOULFUL INSPIRATION 

All we need to chart our course

we possess within, our spark of

Soulful inspiration, a whispered

suggestion in moments of confusion,

a hunch appearing  just when needed,

words of reassurance in the darkness.

Perhaps the confirmation of God's love

is not out there, but clearly exists as

the still small voice that prompts us

on when we are unsure of the next step,

the feeling of confidence washing

over us when we question our ability.

No mighty works, just loving guidance,

a caring hand to grasp when ours is

trembling, the thought of more when

less is so apparent, a strong shoulder

to stable us, or cry on, a reason to

believe life is worth living.

Often in the heat of living, we underestimate

transformation, failing to realize we hold

the rudder within our grasp, that in every

focused moment the turning point presents

itself, requiring only our vested intention.

Whether this turning point only calls for a

modest correction, or a full about-face,

the degree of change is ours for calibration,  

adjustable as we proceed - since no maneuver

fixes our placement or direction, which is

always fully malleable - pliable.

Today let us study our course of action,

conscious of its ramifications, easily

releasing our grip on past intentions

if advantageous, open and ready for

inspiration if available, knowing turning

points are often our finest soulful

expressions, where will and fate meet,

where destiny is forged.

New Thought hinges on the actual creative

power of our thoughts, emotions, and mental

renderings. Not realizing this aspect of our

power has resulted in the negative creations

we all face in our tumultuous modern world.

 

Tending to our thoughts, no matter how

seemingly inconsequential is the direction

of the note below, understanding the very

nature of thought to materialize, we are

directed to prune and weed our thoughts,

so only the healthy sprouts, those that

inspire, remain for the harvest.

 

As I write this, I am thinking about my

own thoughts lately, more muddled than

empowering, more confused than hopeful,

and I am thankful for this reminder. 

 

LIFE IN INCUBATION

In a moment of sincere reflection, often

we find ourselves adrift in a consciousness

of wakeful dreams whose meanings

and messages often escape our grasp,

placeholders for our focused attention,

when we take hold of thoughts and

dreams alike, infusing our clear intent.

 

Today, we realize every thought, vision,

dream, or fantasy, is a potential reality

forming, life in incubation, an expression

of possibility - our role is to give meaning

and purpose to these drifting scenarios,

feeding each our preordained direction,

our will based desire, our greater intent.

 

Let us today fully grasp this creative power,

stoking it with positive concepts, affirmations,

visions of growth, becoming and worthy

evolution - words and thoughts that inspire –

robust dreams of magnificent doings - oozing

with vitality, thriving with possibility,

glistening with joyous intent.
