The past few weeks have been a blur,
literally, as we took turns as the patient,
first Ann, then me – were forced to realize
that flu vaccinations do not necessarily
mean you will not get the flu, although,
most likely, not the one you are protected
to resist, but instead, some genetically
unplanned for next of kin that has gone
under the radar.
Although on the positive side, this medical
hiatus has proven supportive of spiritual
pursuits, especially prayer and meditation.
Given the extra time, attempting more
intensive meditation seemed to be a viable
option.
When I decide to, as I call it, go deeper,
I always prepare the way with prayer,
explaining what I am about to do and what
I want to accomplish. I ask for God’s assistance,
especially when dealing with the occasional
negative thoughts, images, memories, or
whatever might be unleashed.
When I did, I received the note below titled
Dive Deep– an example of what over the
past ten years of my quest, I have recorded
as inspired guidance and have termed
as Notes On Enlightenment(N.O.E.’s) -
to reflect that these are responses I receive
when I ask for God’s guidance. I consider them
inspired because I write down or transcribe,
what comes to me, word for word, without
editing. As the note below explains, most
mystics have conveyed, deep diving offers
its own spiritual treasure.
I close this post with a poem/prayer
titled, The Hum.
DIVE DEEP
In the vastness exists all things, all that was,
all that is, all that will ever be: allow it to flow
unchecked, go with its currents and tides,
allow the waves of awareness to wash over
you and through you; observe without judgment,
for in this place, qualifications, expectations,
judgments are needless, wasted energy –
observe and move on when unappealing or
distressing, languish if desired, dive deeper
if desired, for this is the basis of life itself in all
its vagaries, vicissitudes, the essence of passions,
of desires, of strivings, of successes, and of course,
of failures – hopeless or needless blunders – yet
more important – the reachings, the yearnings,
the outstretched hope for more: what lies ahead,
the next step, the possibility if only, if only all
things are aligned – and when they do or are –
the expression of unbridled joy – the hallelujah
of existence. Dive deep, dive often, and be
transformed.

THE HUM
In your grasp, I am one,
flesh made whole,
Soul within a greater Soul,
waiting, appeased by
nothing less than clear,
complete immersion,
to drown away this
worldliness, this focus
on folly, to cleanse away
this desirous appetite,
left only with the hum
of self-contained peace,
the original selfless
Soul of pre-emergence,
one, one, once more.

WITH LOVE, G.
