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 identify, 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 may

be all we desire at the moment, our existing

connection with God fitting our actual needs,

not requiring any further stretching or expanding

of our perspective.

 

I guess the question that requires some attention

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

what are we seeking to achieve with our spiritual

quest? 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 of no such 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.

GOD'S GIFT  OF LOVE  

LOVE is the fuel, the power, the energy of all

existence, all creation. Within love is the spark

of God, connecting, caring, totally immersed

in the beauty and wonder of creation, of all

life becoming.

LOVE  is the elixir of God and under its charm

you and all life will flourish, grow, and reach

full potential.

LOVE is truly all you need – with it, mountains

can be moved, without it, nothing can be created. 

LOVE everything about your life and what you

are seeking to do – love the equipment you use,

the pen in your hand, the notebook you write

into. 

LOVE  the message – love those who read

your work and find a suggestion or an answer.     

LOVE the moment - love the opportunity to be

alive – creating and authentic. 

LOVE  is the solution – love is the answer,

creating an environment of possibility for all

existence – for all creation. Love your obstacles,

love through your issues and problems, love

yourself into success.

LOVE  the positive and even the negative -

know God’s energy – God’s power is with

you when you lead with love. Make your 

first response and last response – love.

Cherish this moment: love the gift

God has given you and all humankind –

the gift of love.

At the center of New Thought spirituality

is the act of creativity – the ability to use

our minds to create tangible substance –

physical form. It is at the heart of the creative

process that we most resemble God.

Each day we all live our own Genesis creation

story -  utilizing our gift of creative energy

for growth or at times, our own hardship.

  

CREATIVE CONNECTION

The creative energy of God is within you –

surrounds you – radiates from you  - infusing

you with the creative powers of the Universal

Mind.  Simply tap this power by going within

and connecting to its source -  then feel

the surge of perfect thought – alive within

every cell of your being – feel the connection

to all that is and become one with the creative

force within you.

 

All creativity is at your fingertips, ready to be

harnessed by your consciousness – open the

canvas and create the life of your dreams –

heaven on earth – outlining the knowledge or

guidance you wish to convey.  There can be no

wrong, no missteps,  since you are all creative

energy – just trust in the source of the signal

and move forward. There is no failure in this

creative action – it is the work of God – the

Divine calling – the building and forming of

what is at first thought and becomes form.

 

All you create comes from source – one with

source – an expression of God through you –

wake up to it – use it to light the path to

oneness, to wholeness, to the connection

with God.

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.

GRACE WITHIN THIS NOW

The grace of God is in this moment now –

in this sliver of the present where each breath

is newly formed and delivered into the world;

in this moment, where the thought of movement

becomes a movement in the space of a clear mind.

 

Alive in the present now, God waits, knowing

we must work to shake off the exploits of the ego –

that focuses our attention on the what-ifs and

the projections of a crisis ahead. Clear the ego – 

clear the mind and focus on meeting God in this

space of now – the material of the universe –

alive and energized in the moment.

 

The grace of God – the abundance of God –

the cocreation of God happens in this place

of centered nowness – all you have asked

waits for you to align to this place in spirit –

and there, all you have asked for waits.

 

This is the place where the ego is made silent

by the sound of the breath in celebration –

it cannot exist in the clarity of this now –

for real truth is alive here with the grace

of God – the God within waits for you to find

the channel – to find the connection unhindered

by the static of the ego.

 

Be and live fresh in the now through mindfulness

and focus on the breath. Practice, practice with

each moment of life until you exist unhindered –

in this moment. Then the grace of God will meet

you at this moment with all you have cocreated –

with your manifested abundance.

TANGIBLE CREATION  

Sincerity, immersion, along with complete commitment, 

define the parameters of a successful project or venture; 

a clarity of intention conceived in the heart of imagination,

made tangible through frequent visualization, formed

and reformed and formed again in thought and emotion.

 

The effort extended must be complete, authentic,

uncompromised – soul-centered and heartfelt –

cherished, loved, and essential; focused desire 

made manifest, a creation of good with universal

application, a magnificent undertaking.

 

To this constructive effort, all must be wagered,

all must be offered for only the transfer of total

and unhampered belief will stoke the furnaces,

forge the particles into being, and finally, breathe

life into the shell of the whole, giving forth

animation and destiny.

CONCENTRIC CIRCLES OF CONSCIOUSNESS - NOTES ON ENLIGHTENMENT INSPIRED BY THE FINDING GOD ON THE TRAIN STORY - THE QUEST FOR A POSITIVE, PERSONAL, AND CONTEMPLATIVE SPIRITUALITY

The message titled Concentric Circles Of  Consciousness,

offered below further expands our understanding

of the enhanced connection of our local and nonlocal

consciousness, underscoring the importance of building

a pathway to God/Universal Mind, thus expanding our

capacity to fully cocreate our lives with God: actually

manifesting our heaven on earth. Framing this local

mind in a positive manner – controlling our local

consciousness, allowing us to grow and evolve in

a creative mode rather than a destructive mode.

 

CONCENTRIC CIRCLES OF CONSCIOUSNESS

Concentric circles of consciousness forming, being,

or existing, layer upon layer, together with but distinct,

based in the infinite or God or cosmic consciousness –

containing all existence in one potent and all-inclusive

awareness – the total awareness, the adhesive thought 

of all existence – the thought of an active God/Spirit/

Being/Oneness – a conscious presence, the fertile soil

of all awareness.

 

Part and parcel of this founding layer exists the collective

 

consciousness of all previous or waiting existence –

 

providing the wisdom of the multitude of existence. 

 

Within these concentric circles lie the communal

 

or the collective consciousness of existing sentient

 

life formed one circle at a time by each individual

 

consciousness, each personal (or sentient) being

 

shared but personalized – made distinct by borders – 

 

by thought-restricted boundaries – yet one by

 

the original foundation of each.

 

To connect with the cosmic or God-consciousness

is to break through the conceptual separation

and connect with what is already existing at the

very heart or center of your consciousness –

waking to your own divine core.

 

Work to expand your consciousness,

understanding the significance of each layer

in your life. Submerge, extend, and transcend

individual consciousness – live within.

From time to time, we must all ask ourselves

the question of whether we are diligently planting 

the seeds of positive, authentic life in our 

consciousness, preparing for the harvest of our 

abundance and prosperity.

  

I transcribed the guidance below as I struggled

with the recuperation from back surgery. 

At that time, I am sure I was not focused

on a harvest but rather on survival.  I did my

duty, recorded the note, and forgot about it in

my journal.

 

Last night, while working on the book,

I came across this note again titled Harvest

Of Life. I was transfixed by the note, and its

wonderful analogy, succinctly describing 

the consciousness work we all must do in

order to be fully authentic in this world. 

 

We are all growing and harvesting our

consciousness in every moment. If we

have planted the seeds of a positive life

in our minds, the results are ours to harvest -

prosperity, peace of mind, love, and happiness -

if not, we must return to our garden and plant

our precious seeds once more. For there is

always another moment to farm again. 

 

HARVEST OF LIFE - MEDITATION GUIDANCE

The harvest is ready to reap – full and lush

from tender toil – from loving care – strong

and healthy – ready to be the fruit of your

enjoyment – to fill your storage bins with

plenty for the long winter ahead.

 

Knowing this is the way – to plant a seed within

your creative thought - to care for it – water

and weed – watch it grow – protect it from

the ego and the opinions of others. Watch it

grow and visualize it as strong, healthy, and

prosperous – ready to be the substance of

real life and real form.

 

In the fields of your thought, you alone are

the farmer and you alone can ensure growth

by keeping thoughts of lack, not, and error

from impacting your creation – ruining your

work and destroying your harvest. You have

mastered the rules of growing form, and you

can bring your harvest to share and enjoy

with the world.

 

Understand - as you view the lush fruit of

your labor and the pure miracle of creation

unfolding,  you have been the artist of plenty,

and through your thoughts and patience,

will now feed yourself, your family, your

community, and the world.

 

Take the sickle in hand – prepare the laborers –

fill the trucks of life and enjoy the fruits of

your labor – the harvest of life.

Today, as I was preparing to begin my morning

ritual of spiritual reading and meditation, I decided

that I would reach into my archives of unpublished

Affirmative Thoughts and let the universe pick

the theme for today's post.  

 

I picked out the Affirmative Thought published

below titled Let Go And Let God. It is often

startling to see how the themes of the past are still

very much current today. I read it over and set it

aside to see what developed during my meditation.

 

A new addition to my morning devotion is to go

into one of my own journals, where I have

recorded the Meditation Guidance I received,

relating it to my life today.  I picked a journal

and opened it up to the Meditation Guidance below

titled The Way Has Been Prepared. 

 

I quickly realized that the randomly selected

Affirmative Thought and this Meditation Guidance

were related, with the  guidance presenting  

the problem and the thought offering the solution.

Both underscored my continuing challenge with 

this spiritual mission I have accepted and now live -

the feeling that I am often in this alone and have to

make it happen on my own.

 

I am grateful for the reminder that I need to dream

a better dream, have confidence in what I am doing,

trust in God that the way has truly been prepared,

and then to fully let go and let God. 

 

LET GO AND LET GOD

Today “let go and let God” releasing the reins

of control and asking God to assist with the

day-to-day issues you encounter – letting God

guide you and work through you, uncovering

the optimal solution for all involved.

 

Today “let go and let God,” asking God for

direction and listening for guidance in the

signs, sounds, events, and coincidences of

your life –watching as the doors open and

the opportunities are revealed.

 

Today “let go and let God,” surrendering the

need to go it alone and instead join forces

with your Divine assistance and begin again

to cocreate your peaceful existence, your

stress-free life, your heaven on earth.

Let Go And Let God!

AT  BY G. 7.26.2011

 

THE WAY HAS BEEN PREPARED

The dream you should be dreaming is one of strength,

one of courage, a dream reflecting your true nature –

your true potential. Cleanse and clear away the fear,

the doubt, the past mistakes, and replace it with the

joyous harmony of all that waits in possibility.

 

Know you have the power to dream this dream

for yourself and others, but instead,  you wallow

in the graveyard of the past, tossing the remains

around and looking for forgiveness. Know now,

today, and forever that you are and always have

been forgiven – forgive yourself. Learn to love

yourself more –completely - and then you will 

know what this means – what an expression

of love involves.

 

Stop working so hard at doing, and spend more

time dreaming, envisioning. Never attempt to force

the solution; instead, allow it to greet you when it

arrives. Your very actions spell disbelief – a lack

of trust in God’s effort on your behalf. Dream –

see it all, call it forth from your Soul, and

hear the guidance.

 

Find again the passion – the joy in simply being –

cocreating with God. Be willing to start small –

to fit into the future that waits and grow it with love,

passion, and enthusiasm. Offer your gifts, and they

will be received, trusting in God’s support and love.

The way has been prepared.

Part Four of The Finding God On The Train Story

book, The Crystal Path, focuses on exploring

the human Soul and how it relates to and interacts

with God-Consciousness.

 

The note below, aptly titled Personal Consciousness,

takes us deep into this relationship and provides

guidance on how we can reveal and expand this

Divine connectivity.  

 

PERSONAL CONSCIOUSNESS

Before the beginning, there was only

God-Consciousness – Universal Consciousness -

where now your Personal Consciousness exists

as a bubble of viable, evolving intention, allowing

the life as you know it to exist and be experienced 

within -  giving it tangible form and solidity –

forming it, expanding it into the existence

you now are aware of and accept.

 

Personal Consciousness is protected within

the sea of God-Consciousness – receiving

nourishment, guidance, and inspiration, yet,

fully able to exist on its own - to live a life with

or without God's connection.

 

Personal Consciousness expands or contracts

to match individual desires, conceptions, or

intentions. At the same time, it is the pathway

or portal to the interconnectivity of Universal

Consciousness with the ability to connect to

the collective creative power of all who exist 

or who have ever existed.

 

During meditation and prayer allow yourself

to experience and journey within your Personal

Consciousness – expanding your vision –

revealing the true center of your existence –

push towards knowing how you exist within

the sea of God Consciousness – allowing the

edges to fade – the boundaries to disappear

until you feel God wash over you – feel

the sincerity of pure love enfolds you – and

from this point work on strengthening

this conceptual connection until you touch

the true center of gravity.

As I meditate and search for guidance, seriously

addressing the prolonged inspirational wisdom

drought I have been experiencing, I again 

asked for guidance, and a word - activation- 

started to move through my meditations like a bird

in fixed flight, circling within my consciousness.

 

So, I reached for my journal, unused lately,

and found a fresh page and titled it - Activation,

expecting full well that I might be waiting

for something that was not going to arrive,

but to my surprise, and honestly, joy, the words,

and sentences slipped into my awareness,

forming this note below before my tearful eyes. 

 

As I read this note, I wonder about my

spiritual activation - am I fully or partially,

or not yet activated? 

 

ACTIVATION  

Spiritual activation is being alive, and one

with the Divinity of existence, living fully

and intently within this paradigm,

perceiving life as a carefully structured

vision of love and purpose, a message

of faith and wonder, allowing our Souls

to express the miracle of this beingness.

 

We activate when we fully recognize our role,

our unique position as a distinct instrument

in the orchestration of one illumination,

whether we pound out the rhythm or contribute

to the melody – the timbre of our contribution

allows the whole to grow, expand, and evolve;

opening the potentials yet unrealized.

 

Once activated, the voice of Godness is our voice,

the message of oneness; our expression,

the becoming; our loving commitment –

it is here within this we are reborn, discovering

the essential why of our distinctive place

in the wholeness and being of this manifestation,

this living, breathing, thriving magnificence –

as active particles of momentous beingness 

of God, alive and well!

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.

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 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.

WHAT IF?

There is a strong tendency for followers to build

an expectation of the followed. There is a strong

desire to want superpowers in our heroes, in our

Gods, and in our leaders; to counteract our perceived

human powerlessness. So, God, for many, has assumed

the big three: omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent:

a super savior of such magnitude; who, for a prayer

will rectify any issue or ill, self-created or not.

 

As we reflect on this approach - the debate and 

consider its validity - many turn away, questioning

why a multitude of dutiful believers have faced

torment, torture, and mass extinction without

even a drop of mercy, grace, or intervention. 

 

As the note below proposes, what if God shares

our consciousness, but is not able to counteract

human free will and directly intervene in the affairs

of humankind? What does it indicate about God –

what would it suggest that we consider doing

to save ourselves, primarily from ourselves?

 

For a few months, I have been reading and rereading

the note below titled The Stirrings, along with several

related notes that have followed and support a similar

line of reasoning.

 

This initial note below offers a framework- for how

an emergent God might come into existence. I am

still praying, meditating, and asking for guidance

regarding this topic, but this is one example of

the response I am receiving.

 

On this note, the emergent God inherits

a troubled collective human consciousness,

unable to exist without turmoil, war,

and savagery. Hate to say it, but sounds

a lot like life on our planet today. So I thought

I would try my hand at a brief introduction

to frame what might have been happening

in the world at the time of this emergence

of God. Ok, let’s start with my intro.

 

When a groggy consciousness awakes to its

intention,  fed by gaining strength from, and

finally given substance to by the fearful cries

and pleas of early humaness – earth’s original

inhabitants - daily facing a stark existence in 

a new world; as there fierce, more menacing,

cohabitants seek nourishment, and evolutionary

placement; this infant collective awareness, with

wordless mindfulness, struggling for existence:

produces the perfect clamor to call forth their

salvation, an emerging God, a collective universal

consciousness that finds a reason, an intention,

a purpose, and offers a refuge.

  

THE STIRRINGS

God came into being through the stirrings

of a combined consciousness, becoming

aware and awake, reaching out to make

sense and purpose of this united presence,

this life fully aware of itself, its place, its

possibility: knowing each individual

presence was, in fact, a part and parcel

of its larger, fuller, greater perspective;

all-inclusive, evolving, and growing. becoming,

being, then dissolving; a sense of one,

whole, a sum of its parts became – this entity

of combined human consciousness, yet also,

inclusive of all less vigorous or fully aware.

Knowing – even as it awoke, the realization

of a turmoil within, at war with itself, angry,

unable to appease or unite:  even so,  its

allegiances, tribes, or coalitions left little

but fear, despair, and savagery – to placate

it, to aid in its becoming, to foster its evolution –

how was the repeated question, as the over

mind, the now overall consciousness ruminates

its purpose, its existence.

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

I find myself intrigued by the Meditation Guidance

below titled The Mirrored Soul, which indicates

that our authentic self exists fully formed within

God-consciousness, works to guide us toward

the full realization of our potential. If this is

accurate, then it is plausible we do come into 

this world with a "soul mission" or "calling"

that we must in some way ascertain and 

somehow reflect through living.  

 

THE MIRRORED SOUL 

Within God-consciousness resides the Divine image

of you, reflected and conceived in perfect oneness –

the Divine you, the concept of you in full potential,

the God you, the final and complete design of you –

the sincere soul of pure God identity,  the blueprint,

the model, the destination of authentic, purposeful

being.

 

Our Divinity – our God self – our atman resides in

the total and universal consciousness of God – fully

aware of the past, actively working with us in the

present, knowledgeable of the potential and

possibilities resulting from present choice points.

 

This Divine reflection has and will always exist and

is ever present and active in our lives, moving us

through our separation and limited perspective, our

ego desires and indoctrination toward a connection

with the true potential of our existence. We move

towards and connect with our Divine image – our

reflection of a perfect life – our God nature through

prayer and deep meditation – through envisioning,

dreaming, and clairvoyance.

 

Work to connect with and be guided by your Divine

based self within God-consciousness, knowing this

is the road to enlightenment – true heaven on earth.

Ann had lunch with an old friend a while back

when his family was visiting from out of town.

The friend's sister mentioned that she subscribed

to my blog and read my posts. The sister said that

she enjoyed the blog, but that some of my posts

were rather "far out." Well, hold on, here is one

of those "far out" posts.

 

I woke up this morning with the phrase - "conduit

of consciousness" -  reaching meme proportions

in my mind. Since I fell asleep reading Joel S.

Goldsmith's book - A Parenthesis In Eternity -  

just offered as an iBook, I was not overly

surprised.

 

To be exact, I decided to look up the definition

of "conduit" and found the following:

1. a channel for conveying water or other fluid:

2. a person or organization that acts as a channel

    for the transmission of something:

3. a tube or trough for protecting electric wiring. 

 

With definition number two in hand, I decided

that this would be a great topic to review during

meditation, and when I was  about to enter the

silence, I asked for clarification. I received the

Meditation Guidance below and at first glance,

it is not anything startlingly new, and in truth has

been a recurring theme as outlined in the book.

 

What is noteworthy, at least to me, is the concept

that within God-consciousness, all existence, 

along with all human history, is simultaneous;

that is occurring at the same time. If I understand

this from a personal level, all phases of my life

or your life, or existence, is being viewed or

experienced from God's perspective at the same

time, or in unison - past, present, and future

as one. I guess  this is what being "omniscient" 

means. 

 

I will further explore what all this means in

my upcoming book chapter focused on God

Consciousness, but for now, I believe under-

standing this concept will give us additional

insight into communicating effectively with

God.  As the note reflects, we each have an

individualized message waiting for us in the

silence. 

  

CONDUIT OF GOD-CONSCIOUSNESS

What does it mean to be a conduit of consciousness?

The path or approach to Divine connection is

only available from within, through personal

consciousness. This connection is forged through

centering the soul and with all other internal

forces in check, expanding human consciousness

into the realm of divine or God-consciousness.  

It is an organized expansion accomplished 

through silence, listening for the still, small

force within.

 

The guidance you seek is always available,

the answers have been prepared for an eternity

waiting for this intended interaction. Often

your mind inhibits this connection with storms

of  thought  breaking up this signal and leaving

only static.

 

Allow the words to flow through you unaltered,

taking each one at a time, allowing each to find

its cadence and the meaning it strives to share.

No need to worry about missing the message

since it always lies in waiting for the proper time.

Realize you, and you alone, are the conduit to this

message – since within God-consciousness all

existence, all history happens concurrently,

not sequentially, with past, present, and future

distinctions unnecessary – given that simultaneous

existence is conceivable and understandable.

 

All is always present in the perpetual now of God-

consciousness.

 

Simply, within the silence, listen for the message.

It awaits your attentive soul.

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

The circle has such a powerful spiritual and secular

sense to it - “the circle of life," the “circle will be

unbroken," or the Native American Indian’s focus

on “The Greater Circle,” as outlined in Michael 

Garrett’s book on the Cherokee Teachings for

Harmony and Balance, titled Walking On The Wind.

Garrett quotes the great Medicine Man, Black Elk,

who states:

 

You have noticed that everything an Indian

does is in a circle, and that is because the

Power of the World always works in circles…

 

In this featured Meditation Guidance, titled 

Circle Of Beauty, the unique spiritual nature

of the circle is touched upon, along with its 

connection to God and the soul.

 

CIRCLE OF BEAUTY 

The circle is the center of the soul and all creation,

the symbol of all life, all being, of the completion

of all existence. The circle is strong but flexible

and, although it can be increased or reduced in

size, it always maintains an outside, an inside,

and the line separating the two.

 

Your life is like a circle with the essence of you 

within the circle surrounded by the world and 

God, which gives you form. God is also with you

within the circle and gives form to the circle as

the external ring.

 

The circle is perfect, beautiful, and sacred.

The circle is power.  The circle is peace.

The circle is a spiritual symbol and provides

the healing which is needed. Consider the 

strength of a ring; the circle cannot be pulled

apart end by end; it must be forced apart with 

great strength. Every cell of the circle has a

vested interest in its own existence.

 

The circle of beauty is the circle of life, alive,

flourishing, creating and becoming as God 

assists and supports - circles of healing,  

circles of prayer, circles of forgiveness, 

circles of faith, circles of love, circles of

magnificence – form these circles:

comprehend the circle, and you will

understand God.

The Upanishads, as translated by Eknath Easwaran,

my favorite version of this spiritual scripture, which

features the teachings of the Hindu scriptures from

the Brahman period, about 500 BCE; considered

as one of the 100 most influential books ever written.

 

I find the Upanishads fascinating because they focus

on the universal spirit (Brahman) and the

individual self  (Atman). The Brahman is the

ultimate, both transcendent and immanent,

the absolute infinite existence, the total of all that

ever is, was, or shall be, which I would call God.

 

Through our individual self – which is Divine - we

are all connected to Brahman. Anyone who has

followed New Thought will recognize that the Atman

is often referred to as our Christ Nature  or Divine

self, which is connected to the Universal Mind

or God.

 

I would like to share with you this Meditative

Guidance below that is titled All Connected.

As you read, you will see this guidance goes on

to help us better understand the teachings

of the Hindu mystics who wrote the Upanishads

over two thousand years ago.

 

ALL CONNECTED

I see myself in a million selves all one and connected.

All connected. All one. All God. This is the essence of

the Divine connection with God within the self –

connected to all the God selves living now or

transitioned. It is this connection of self-force

that creates the power and energy of the Divine –

the Divine self – the Divine soul.

 

Only the ego, or the false self, made up of the

fears and indoctrination of a lifetime of separate

self-training sees our self as separate and not part

of the whole Divine Soul.

 

In God, we are alive and connected to the Divine

Soul or self and all selves. We can connect to this

energy and force, easily traveling through this

connection – via the Heartlight - into the hopes

and dreams, desires, and creation of all selves –

all living kind and experience, the essence of the

divine connection.

 

Connect to your Divine self and connect to the selves

of all life connected – the Divine self of God. Travel

through this connection and explore the mysteries

of  life and all existence – explore the Divine within

you and all existence – One In God.

MOVING FORWARD

We must be moving forward, onward, fresh

and aware of our intentions, our desired goal,

our destiny; prepared to summon our inner

resources, as we marshal our outer possibilities,

potentials; finding a course of action, a clear

momentum.

 

We, together, must learn to love and live

in a world that is at first glance not conducive

to growth and clarity; a world needing

an awakened perspective to overcome

the torpid inaction caused by fear and

confusion; to find again a purpose worth

pursuing, a future worth grasping.

 

We, in this vital and valiant effort, must

realize the value of every contribution,

willing to allow others to be and to grow,

knowing all perspectives need to be taken

seriously, to be allowed to flourish, to be

nurtured; so, growth and awareness flourishes,

as long as it is offered with a spirit of cooperation

and love, tolerance, forbearance, partnership –

with hearts and minds focused on a more

cohesive, productive, and worthy existence.

Single harmonic existence - when all aspects

of your body, mind, and spirit play in harmony –

synchronized – in perfect oneness, all playing

and striking pure wholeness -  a symphony

of authentic, purposeful life emitting full creation –

the creative power of Divine existence.

 

Every thought, every movement, every intention

energized with the power of rightness – expressing

the full chord of all existence – the expression

of purpose.

 

Happiness is joy, peace, and love fueled by a

connection with God and the elimination

of internal conflict – mind and spirit move in

unison toward accepting their own 

Divinity. This is life in pure Divine oneness.

This is life singing with the voice and breath

of God in harmony with all creation.

WITHIN

It is all within us, heaven on earth,

love and wisdom, truth – unity – God,

everything we seek, all that we desire,

aspire to, stretch to obtain – the power

to heal ourselves as well as others;

the enlightenment; the transcendence;

the very infinity we struggle to comprehend;

all history; all evolution; the cosmos;

consciousness; all levels of comprehension; 

full and utter existence.

 

Yet, alongside this is the murky,

the fearful, the anxiety, the suffering,

the hell unattended, the pain carried –

our own and that of our ancestors –

the chaos of wanton desire, our animal

natures, our monsters, our confusion,

our despair.

 

We must submerge ourselves deeply

within our conscious, subconscious,

and unconscious awareness; using

contemplation/prayer/meditation

to find our way; to find a way to order

our own “allness” for a more positive

existence, for our own being, for our

own becoming, for our own clear vision.

NOE G. 2.12.2017

 

It is often difficult for me to ascertain which 

transpires first, a certain spiritual obsession,

or the daily message/guidance that may have 

referenced the notion in the first place; creating

a sort of spiritual “chicken or the egg” conundrum.

 

Two spiritual concepts have captured my obsessive

attention recently, both incited initially, I think,

by guidance received during my daily meditations,

and finally morphing into the note offered above

titled Within.

 

First is the very concept that we - as individuals, 

physical, spiritual beings - are all-inclusive, 

a sort of mobile hologram representing all that 

exists, or has ever existed, within the cosmos - 

including God. Not a novel concept for New

Thought adventurers, but one that has suddenly

stunned me, forcing me beyond my reason based

comprehension into a vaster conceptual context.

 

I have, as of yet, been unable to fully verbalize 

this clearly, but let me attempt to express 

my swirling thoughts as the following. 

 

We each, individually, contain the creative

life force that is necessary to not only

perceive the cosmos, and through that

perception establish its existence, but also

to use it as a multi-dimensional canvas

upon which, through which, we individually, 

as well as communally, create a work of art

so enormous, so momentous, so profound,

we, if aware, must shutter at its magnificence.

 

Although I struggle here to convey its essence,

I know this gift of structured existence demands

our attention requires our comprehension, and

beseeches our skillful use. 

 

As the note above conveys, this power within

also includes our capacity for healing, stated

briskly with the following simple declaration:

 

“the power to heal ourselves

                   as well as others”

 

Healing has been the other spiritual concept

that has occupied my thoughts recently.

And frankly, this power to heal should not

be a shock to me, given that all of New

Thought was founded on this very idea

of spiritual healing.

 

As with anyone who is a member of a large

family, serious health concerns throw life

into a state of chaos, and recently Ann and I

have also been contributing to the confusion.

Leave it to say my morning meditations are

focused on healing, my own and that of others

I love.

 

So, I would like to share some of my recent

thoughts regarding healing, with the under-

standing that this topic deserves its own chapter

in one of my books (good idea!), or maybe its

own book to ensure full coverage.

 

I will start with a controversial insight – that is,

healing, in my current thinking, is determined

by the faith of the person who is being prayed for,

not those who are praying. What is important

is that the prayed-for person is aware of all

the wonderful loving, kind people who care

enough to pray; and it is here where the larger

the number of "prayers" stokes the importance

of the experience.

 

Likewise, recent research has shown that the

patient’s belief in the healing medicine, elixir,

placebo, operation, procedure, potion, prayer,

ceremony, festival, statue, or sacred location;

as well as the patient’s belief in the physician,

healer, priest, shaman – is most accentuated

and beneficial when the curing procedure is 

performed or offered in a way that creates 

what the patient will emotionally perceive of as

a “profound healing experience.”

 

To use modern healing practices as an example,

when we walk into a major medical facility for

a healing procedure: our minds register

the significance of the facility, the doctors,

the complex healing equipment, the reputation

of both the medical staff and the hospital as a

healing entity: all of which enhance our

(the patients) healing belief, as well as our 

expectation of a curing experience - actually

fostering a positive medical outcome by ensuring 

a “profound healing experience.”

 

In other words, this healing experience –

its ambiance, its personal/spiritual significance

to the patient, even its magical nature – coupled

with the belief, the procedure will work heightens

the overall possibility of actual healing.

 

So, what I am saying here, is that the patient’s 

belief in the healing element or process, when 

administered by what is perceived as respected 

authority able to create the desired outcome – 

when coupled with the potent demonstration

of a “profound healing experience,” not only 

enhances the actual healing potential of the

patient, but may, in and of itself, trigger a

healing process within the patient.

 

This goes a long way to clarify why a vast array

of medical science-based research studies report 

actual, tangible, healing results within their placebo

control groups. Perhaps the very protocol of

the research study is triggering the internal belief 

based healing system of the test patients by 

providing this "profound healing experience." 

 

For example, a recent television advertisement

for an injection that reduces the number

of migraines for those who suffer from fifteen

or more per month offers an explanation 

in small print at the bottom of the screen,

that those who received the actual injection

had nine to ten fewer migraines per month

on average, while those who received the

research placebo injection experienced

six to seven fewer migraines monthly. This

is what is known as the Placebo Effect -

actual healing from a controlled substance 

or procedure that has no actual therapeutic 

value.

 

It is easy to extrapolate that belief-based healing

is a viable healing process that we each could

tap into, or benefit from, respected spiritual

healing experiences, of course, as an adjunct

to already respected modern medical procedures.

 

I have been most impacted and excited by the

feature focus of the December 2016 issue of

National Geographic – the cover title exclaims

The Healing Power Of Faith. This insightful

summary of healing research titled Mind Over

Matter, by Erik Vance, with amazing photographs

by Erika Larsen - fully outlines this significant

research regarding faith-based healing. I have

shared a link to this article below:

 

http://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2016/12/healing-science-belief-placebo/

 

Thank you for allowing me to discuss my two

current obsessions. What makes this spiritual

quest so exciting is that the wonder never leaves

us without something to mull over and over

and over.  I will be republishing some of my

REPOST FROM AUGUST, 2017

Sometimes I am directed back to something

I missed in my quest or possibly knew but

may have forgotten or overlooked.

 

As a person who suffers from chronic back pain,

resulting from my Lumbar Reconstruction

in 2010, I had what is called a Lumbar

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) procedure

yesterday, where with the use of some very

advanced technology, my pain management

specialists are able to use radiofrequency energy

to disrupt nerve function, so the nerve can no

longer transmit pain. The pain management

team calls it a burn, referring to burning

away the pain-producing nerve for a year

or more.

 

A few weeks back, I had the right side of my

lumbar spine treated, and since it significantly

reduced my pain on the right side, I was back

in an operating room with my pain management

team having the left side done.

 

Ann, who sat patiently, but hungry, waiting

during the procedure in the room where I had

been prepped – having had delayed eating lunch

so we could eat together after the procedure,

since I am required to fast for at least six hours

before the treatment.

 

Ann has been with me through three related

procedures leading up to this, two to determine

if this RFA concept would even work. After about

an hour, with the RFA procedure, completed,

I returned to recovery and after another hour,

Ann was driving me to Cracker Barrel for our

very late lunch, and later driving me home.

Ann made sure I was comfortable at home,

since she had to return to work.

 

Although we have Direct TV Sunday Ticket,

our internet has been very slow, so I switched

my internet service to Comcast and had them

install their fastest internet. Bundled with

the internet service for a nominal charge was

the ability to connect one TV to Infinity

programming. So I switched my office TV

at home to Infinity. After a review of the options,

I decided to subscribe to what I feel is a New

Thought-oriented channel offered by Infinity

called GAIA TV, which offers a plethora

of spiritual programs and related movies.

 

Still a bit groggy from my procedure's calming

medication, I decided to watch something on

my GAIA spiritual channel. I selected a highlighted

movie from around 2011 titled I AM, The Shift

Is About To Hit The Fan produced by Tom

Shadyac, a famed filmmaker of movies like Bruce

Almighty, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Liar Liar,

The Nutty Professor outlining his quest for sanity

in his own life, especially after a serious cycling

concussion, which underscored for him the need

to radically reconceive his life. Below I offer the

You Tube version of The Trailer for the movie.

 

https://youtu.be/H4iArJec58M

 

Now you may be thinking, hey G., what is

the point. Well, Shadyac, in the film, decides

to make a visit to the Institute Of  HeartMath

located in Boulder, Colorado, whose electro-

physiology lab has revealed that our EDG

(heart rhythm) physically changes as our

emotions change. Shadyac admitted in a

later interview that he thought the HeartMath

Institute would be too far out, ending up a

quick visit. Instead, it becomes a major part

of the film’s content

 

As I am watching the movie, I am thinking

that this is too familiar, as I remember that

over ten years ago, during one of my train

commutes, I read a book tiled The Intelligent

Heart - Transform Your Life with the Laws

of Love, by David McArthur and his father

Bruce McArthur, who were now on the screen

outlining their research on how the heart

rhythmically responds to our positive emotions

such as love, compassion, kindness – sending

a message to the brain and the body of these

emotional shifts.

 

As with positive emotions, negative ones like

anger, hatred, intolerance, despair, etc. also

are communicated. Based on this research,

the heart is often the first responder, not

the brain, as the heart, at the same time sends

an external wavelength communicating these

emotional shifts to the world.

 

What the HeartMath research is conveying,

is it that it is quite possible our hearts are at the

center of our emotions rather than our intellect.

Expressing that we are constructed to share and

react to the emotions of others via our hearts

 

Last night, as Ann and I would tear up, and

our chests would heave at the latest fortune or

misfortune on The Hallmark Channel’s series

When Calls The Heart, I had finally convinced

Ann to binge-watch with me, even though she

thought it might be too sad.

 

I turned to her and said tearfully, this is what

the HeartMath research is pointing to our built

in heart-centered, compassionate, and empathetic

response to experiencing joy, or the suffering

of others. As Ann wiped away her tears, she rolled

her eyes saying; thanks!

 

I replied that I thought programs like this touch

our hearts, helping humanity strengthen their

heart muscled based compassion, this loving

response so needed in this modern age.

Ann still has her doubts, but she agreed to

keep watching.

 

So this morning, while meditating on my back

deck, I received the following inspiring guidance

titled Heart Awareness. This sort of  follow-up,

I believe this happens whenever the original spiritual

communication needs some reinforcing – just to

make sure I have not missed “the arranged”

point of it all.   

 

HEART AWARENESS  

Our hearts, the heart is the center of all emotion,

it is the mind of our feeling life, always beating

a rhythm, circulating the fertile blood and nutrients

of our beingness, expressing what is being felt, or

even about to be felt, within our feelingness,

communicating throughout the body and mind,

as it signals out to the surrounding consciousness,

a heartlight connection, an expression, able to be

clearly perceived by others.

 

Our hearts are beacons of our soul based emotional

expression, acutely attuned to the feeling and life

experience of those around us, connected to us,

throughout the world. As others experience joy

and elation, so too do we share the same rhythmic

expression, as others suffer, we, too, share in this

suffering.

 

Our hearts are our genetic centers of life

connected to our truly evolutionary essence,

leading us to our true survival law – the law of

compassion, empathy, kindness, connectedness –

the realization that through love, we together

as a humanity, a cohort, a community, a nation,

a world, a universe having the innate biological

framework to step beyond our differences, our

intolerances, our false thinking, and feelings,

embracing that we are hardwired for well-being,

flourishing, love, and contentment – not just

on an individual basis but on a collective basis.

 

Work to strengthen this heart-centered gift,

to evolve personally and as you do collectively –

living by the heart’s rhythms – its grace –

its innate wisdom.

DIVE DEEP/THE HUM - A NOTE AND A POEM INSPIRED BY THE FINDING GOD ON THE TRAIN STORY - QUEST FOR A POSITIVE, PERSONAL, AND CONTEMPLATIVE SPIRITUALITY EVOLVES

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.

NOE G. 2.6.2016

 

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.

THE ANSWERS AND THE QUESTION - AFFIRMATIVE THOUGHT AND NOTE ON ENLIGHTENMENT INSPIRED BY THE FINDING GOD ON THE TRAIN STORY - QUEST FOR A POSITIVE, PERSONAL, AND CONTEMPLATIVE SPIRIRTUALITY

The aspect of my spiritual blog work I enjoy the most

is the constant element of surprise in terms of what

I will be blogging or writing about on any given day.

Most of my writing is what I call inspired, resulting

from meditation or direct requests for assistance, 

and transcribed without editing, except for book

passages in which I have a tendency to labor over

until they are publishable. 

 

This morning, I wanted to be sure I had time to write

Ann's note, so I started with it first; the inspired

Affirmative Thought below, titled The Answers, 

came to me. I transcribed it, hoping it would make

sense to Ann, which it did, and moved on to do some

spiritual reading before meditating.

 

THE ANSWERS

The answers you seek are within you

            at the level of your soul – existing

as part of the divine spark, which

            motivates you to ask the questions –

while already knowing the answers –

            doing so, to assist with your growth,

development, and transformation.

 

The answers you seek are presented in

            every real-life experience – each lesson –

a living dream with meaning – directing

            you to discover the intended message –

a revelation – an obvious clue enabling

            you to unravel the mystery of your

authentic spiritual potential.

 

The answers you seek may appear before

            even the question has been formed

within your conscious mind – so simply ask:

 

“What message does this life experience  

convey, what am I to understand?”

 

and the true meaning will be revealed.

AT G. 2.19.2012

 

I decided recently that I should start to read some

of the guidance I have received on a daily basis.

So reaching for the black moleskin journal, where

I record my meditation guidance,  I opened to 

a meditation note titled The Question. 

 

As I read it over, I realized that it would be an excellent

opening - almost tailor-made for Part Three of the 

Crystal Path of Finding God On The Train Story to be

titled  The Soul and God Consciousness - The Divinity

Within Us, where I want to incorporate my God-inspired 

messages in a framework of the existing scientific

and mystical thought. Answering the question posed

in this guidance provides an ideal framework. So this

morning I started the morning with the answers,

and ended with the question. 

 

THE QUESTION

The question is this – are our thoughts truly

creating the reality, we are experiencing, and

if so, how does it occur, and how does it work?  

This is the most profound question of our

individual conscious impact on this reality 

we perceive. Are we merely pawns immersed

in the coincidences and whims of fortune, 

or are we active agents of creation? 

In this, what is our relationship with God?

 

Is life a cruel irony where self-will meets 

the enormously more powerful happenstance

or existence and eventually accepts its place?

Or is the human mind a purposeful and potent

creative interpreter and designer of the reality 

it perceives? And if we truly possess this power, 

why have we not realized it and begun to use

it for our benefit - creating heaven on earth?

 

This is the question we must investigate, research,

and by so doing, determine our Divine nature and

potential. To answer this question, we must find

the truth already uncovered by psychology, physics, 

philosophy, theology, and metaphysics – using

the perspective of both the scientist and the mystic

alike, which may enable and allow us using 

a Rumi phrase, to peek beneath the skirt of God.

 

This is our mission – so where do we start - with

the relevant guidance that has been revealed to date.

Use this as a credible starting point and venture

onward.

Jalal ad-Din Rumi (1207-1273)

Poet and Founder of the Mawlawi Sufi Order

Ye who search of God, of God, pursue.

Ye need not search for God is you, is you!

Why seek ye something that was missing

ne’er?  Save you none is, but you are –

where, oh, where?

 

The desire to separate humankind from God,

and all sentient life for that matter, becomes

more difficult as we explore the spiritual

concept of God as an expanding consciousness.

 

Although the quote from Rumi above,

demonstrates what has been a popular

esoteric mystical opinion - we and God

are one - the exoteric religious authorities

have, for the most part, considered this

to be anathema, heretical, often severely

punished. 

 

This may be a reason why I usually sit on this

type of guidance, and have, until I rediscovered

it this morning, and felt ready to delve into

its meaning. Usually, I would rather not offend 

the sensibilities of those who cannot fathom,

or discuss, this close a union of the divine and

humankind.  Just so happens,  Ann, my wife,

is firmly in this group.  

 

Yet, in truth, most of my spiritual work has

been finding and redefining a less supernatural,

more user friendly God, one that might fit

within our modern perspective. I believe

the note below is proposing  just such a

conceptual framework. Your thoughts?

 

ONE PRESENCE SHARED

We and God are intertwined.

We and God are intermingled.

 

A shared consciousness, where our

consciousness exists within the limitless

consciousness of God, stretching

the space of all conscious existence –

we and God are one, God within,

God without – together, we and God –

the creator of all form (which exists as an

extension of our joint consciousness)

are intertwined.

Form is simply, and totally, a representation

of the creative thought of consciousness,

and as such, has no innate power. Always

in matters of form, we must return to the

originator and the origination of our sense

experience – creative conscious thought. 

Let us fully comprehend and grasp this

essential truth of comingled consciousness;

sharing the combined power of truly dual

conscious existence, expanding  our

consciousness and revealing the truth of

all existence, one presence shared. Seek

the point of origin in meditation, reflection,

and prayer.

Understand, it is only through our personal

conscious connection with the world of form

that God can impact or interact or experience

the world of form. As God is a vehicle of our

expanded consciousness, we, you, me all

sentient life is a conduit for God to form

consciousness, for mutual, total, integrated

existence. Each sentient being is a conscious

receptor of and within tangible existence.

(If we do not open ourselves up to this God

connection, God cannot fully enter our world

except through grace.)

BUT THEN / THE FIRST STEP - A SPIRITUAL POEM ALONG WITH A NOTE FOR ENLIGHTENMENT INSPIRED BY THE FINDING GOD ON THE TRAIN STORY - QUEST FOR A POSITIVE, PERSONAL, AND CONTEMPLATIVE SPIRITUALITY

 BUT THEN

 I wonder, God,

    how you stand for existing

        within my tired frame,

    worn and cracked

from too many taut days -

    ah, but then, I realize,

    this is all my illusion,

not yours.

POEM G. 8.14.2012

 

Sometimes this spiritual quest gets too complex,

and I am the first to forget the basics; that is,

being prepared to connect with God in the present,

through meditation, prayer, and contemplation.

 

It is within these meditative moments that we

master the skill of mind control, clearing away

the debris of our egos and our noisy lives, to meet

the true consciousness of God, always ready

and waiting in the now.

 

So when I came across this note featured below,

I decided to publish it as a gentle reminder, 

to all of us, of the basics.

 

THE FIRST STEP

The power to clear the consciousness is available

to everyone, simply by using the techniques and

approaches honed by thousands of years of earnest

effort, one errant thought at a time.

 

It is basic meditation practice with a focus on

the breath, returning to this breath when thoughts

surface – allowing us to lay the foundation,

training our minds so our awareness during

practice will determine the flow and focus

of our attention.

 

For some, this may be the first experience with mind

control – allowing thoughts to surface, but upon

review, choosing to withdraw attention, returning

instead to the breath and our meditative focus,

thus laying the groundwork for a breath-focused

mindfulness, available during meditative practice,

or anytime we choose mindfulness as our criterion

for awareness.

A while back, I downloaded from iTunes

a series of  New Dimensions Radio interview

programs, which featured Dr. Wayne Dyer.

One of the programs, from the late 1990’s,

was a discussion centering on Dyer’s, then

recently published 1998 book titled Wisdom

Of The Ages, 60 Days To Enlightenment.  

 

I decided to buy the iBook and read one

of the sixty quotes each morning, as an

addition to my morning meditation and

prayer practice.

 

A favorite quote of mine was on the topic

of Divinity, featuring Epictetus (55-135 AD), 

an emancipated slave who later became 

a Greek Stoic philosopher:

 

You are a distinct portion of the essence

of God in yourself. Why, then, are you ignorant

of your noble birth? Why do you not consider

whence you came? Why do you not remember

when you are eating, who you are who eat;

and whom you feed: do you not know it is

the Divine you feed; the Divine you exercise?

You carry a God about with you.

 

I finished my reading, began to meditate, 

and, as I usually do, ask for guidance. 

I received the following message:

 

BIRTHRIGHT

Open your mind to the sheer power that

runs through you, fully embrace the enormous

power flowing through every fiber, every

cell of your being, the Divine power,

the essence of God within you – dive deep

within its holy fluidness, wash away

the doubt and confusion left unguarded,

creating what is without substance or merit:

instead; today, stand firm and positive, 

clearly focused on strength, wisdom, 

hope, compassion, and creative energy 

that is your birthright; flex your creative

God power, reframing the static transmission,

replacing it with full and vibrant definiteness,

fantastically ripe and waiting to emulate your

every dream, to inculcate your consciousness,

ready to plant, grow, and harvest a reality

without bounds – robust and purposeful.

SHAME AND FORGIVENESS - NOTES ON ENLIGHTENMENT - THE FINDING GOD ON THE TRAIN STORY - QUEST FOR A POSITIVE, PERSONAL, AND CONTEMPLATIVE SPIRITUALITY

Lately, I have been reviewing my journals, and when

inspired, publishing the Meditation Guidance from

my early years on the train that have never been

published on the blog. I had not read this note

featured here since I transcribed it in 2011.

 

As the note below titled Shame and Forgiveness

posits God has already forgiven us, even before

we pursue it. God's role seems to be to assist us

through the self-forgiveness process, which requires

our facing the truth, assuming responsibility for our

actions, and making amends for our transgressions.

 

SHAME AND FORGIVENESS 

Forgiveness is only fully possible through God

for those acts that have created pain for others;

have disturbed the universe; have resulted

in loss, grief, turmoil, and hurt.

 

These acts often locked away in the back room

of our psyches are like a monster hidden in a

trunk – demanding awareness – requiring 

 

restitution.

 

These are the acts that create the feeling of

overwhelming remorse – shame – dwelling in

our consciousness – and when not dealt with,

punishing us each day.

 

These acts require universal recognition,

needing to be fully revealed; addressed by us,

along with the victims and the universe.  

Karmically, we must settle in order to go on.

 

This level of forgiveness requires complete Divine

intervention and assistance – a need to reveal

the truth through prayer, asking God for forgiveness.

This is not done because God has to forgive us –

because God has already forgiven us – it is needed

to aid us in our own forgiveness – it is needed

to allow us to be released and freed from this inner

turmoil - letting this burden be lifted – for our  

dis-ease to be cured.

 

God wants us to move beyond this transgression

and be renewed – to be clear to move forward

without continued self-punishment – to be

released from the bondage of our own self-created

turmoil – to enable us to find balance.

 

Today, in prayer and meditation, open up the trunk

and reveal the truth– comprehend its impact on all

concerned, asking God to guide you on what needs

to be done to alleviate your guilt, pain, and suffering,

while making restitution to those who have been

hurt. Continue until fully released.

 

Know you are forgiven, and be grateful.

POWER OF CHRIST - NOTES ON ENLIGHTENMENT - THE FINDING GOD ON THE TRAIN STORY - QUEST FOR A POSITIVE, PERSONAL, AND CONTEMPLATIVE SPIRITUALITY

In New Thought, the concept of Christ Consciousness

often refers to our Divine Center or Soul, existing

within all of us; serving as our portal or connection

to God. The Hebrew Mystics, who follow the

teachings of the Kabbalah, believe in the existence

of many Soul levels with the “Neshama”-meaning

breath - associated with the highest level of human

spiritual awareness and connection to God.

 

I will consider that if you function from

this “Neshama” Soul or Spirit level, you have

reached enlightenment.

 

I would also say that Abraham, Moses, Isaiah, Jesus

and the other Hebrew prophets, along with Buddha,

Mohammad, Lao Tzu, and many other spiritual 

beings have hit this level of higher awareness and

connection with Source.

 

If you are not Christian, you could easily think

of this as Moses Consciousness, or Mohammad

Consciousness, or Buddha Consciousness

- because I believe all three of these spiritual

avatars listed above have reached an inner

mystical state awareness and Divine connection 

with the Tao, Allah, Source, Universal Intelligence,

Infinite Mind, Universal God-Consciousness or any 

term you wish to use to refer to a Divine connection

with God.

 

Here is a meditative note discussing this level of

spiritual awareness as Christ Consciousness.

 

POWER OF CHRIST 

The answer is within the guidance, the path,

and the way to enlightenment. Live through

the consciousness of your Christ center.

Find the center – move towards it and reach 

for its peace, joy, and harmony with life.

 

The voice of the Christ within you is soft but

profound. Listen internally through prayer

and meditation. Disregard the warnings

of the ego that may pretend to be the voice

of Christ within.

 

You want so much more - money, power

recognition, control, but these are illusions

created by a false reality.

 

Live pure, clear, honest, and loving, and you will

work beyond the ego. Your ego would have you

believe that your actions, or failure to act, create

this reality. Beware of your thinking; it is not a

positive force. The thoughts you have are often

not based on logic but on pain.

 

Be proud and loving and accept who you are.

You are a positive force life force who has

accomplished much under great challenge.

Christ loves you and truly appreciates your

strength, kindness, love, and spirit of adventure.

 

Move to the center – to the Christ spirit within.

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

Beneath the passion play of human existence,

exists nature, the natural, God’s world,

the simple order.  It is often easy to confuse

our constant state of human eruption with

what came first. When we settle down, rest,

meditate, dream, space out, pray - we can

reconnect with and join this order once more,

realizing we, too, are part of this simple order.

 

This morning, as I prepared for meditation,

I opened my journal to the note below.

As I read it, I felt a sense of calm, peace,  

and I wanted to share it with all who might

benefit from a pause in this life's hubbub.

 

A SIMPLE ORDER

Tangible life erupts in mysterious ways,

like a fire at the end of a long evening,

a flash here, a spark there, a burst

of blue light ignites only to be snuffed

out by a gentle wind, lost in the embers

of its magnificence.

 

We live in discrete but connected

particles of consciousness, moments

always quietly present, simple, silent

reflections of our inner state of peace. 

Reflect on the moment that surrounds you –

a slender song of opulent life calmly being –

no rush – no impatience,  just a simple order.

 

No need for doing – just enjoyable reflection –

life turning at its own pace – enjoin

its presence –  its nowness – listen

to its breath, listen to it sing,  it calls you

to its place – its God-given existence –

no harm – no foul – just the simple glow

and the hum of life eternal - being.

IN COLOR

Often, it is as if we see the world in black and

white, unaware of the possibility of seeing

in color, and in this black-and-white world 

we exist, living our lives, although quite sure

of something missing, we cannot pinpoint

what it is.

 

When we are awake, in and with God,

the color returns, first in flashes and splashes, 

later in vibrant moments, and finally, the light

of love colorizes our total perception, all of  it:

we, it, they are alive in light and wonderful color.

 

Then, only then, do we understand the true

potential of existence; then, and only then,

do we know Divine life, which is the very radiance

and colors of love, of full compassionate human 

being; of perfect life alive.

NOTE OF TRUTH

Perhaps the solutions we seek in life are within

our grasp, there within us all along, too exhausted

after days of fierce wandering to voice a plea

for warranted attention or overcome by schemes

and hapless strategies, sounding mute against

the ebb and flow of internal dissension.

 

So let us again turn our gaze inside out, refusing

to be tricked by our own magic, the ego’s slight

of hand, delving into the disorder of extinguished

life for the note of truth we so carelessly let slip

from our focus, to be crumpled underfoot,

waiting for this day of atonement.

 

As we calm our shaking hands, flattening out

the message for earnest deciphering, let us work

to nobly approach this truth with open arms and

an accepting heart, knowing time enough remains

for even this undertaking, and strength enough

will come forth to bolster even this quest,

if we have the courage to pursue it undaunted.

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 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.

At the center of much religious thinking is

the concept of God/world dualism, where God

is separate and exerts influence on the world

through what is known as downward causation.

 

Those who have been reading my Notes On

Enlightenment published on this blog realize

that I follow the view that God and humankind

are actually intertwined in a co-conspiracy 

of action and creation, with humankind

the active agent of God on earth - through

this active living - expands the potential 

and depth of creative consciousness.

 

At the individual human level, I believe our 

personal consciousness is hardwired with

what I refer to as the Divine Mind - our divine

nature or soul, which acts as our creative

conduit to connect and cocreate with God

or Universal Consciousness. 

 

As noted in the title of the Meditation Guidance

below, this Blended Awareness is sparked by

individual intention, as each person creates,

via their own desires. As the first line of

the guidance below reveals each of us powers

and originates this creative process through

our own intention.

 

In other words, we spark the desire and team

with God in its cocreation, resulting in the

appropriate manifested tangible form.

Basically, what is being expressed here, 

is that our interaction with God is conducted 

via upward causation rather than downward.

  

BLENDED AWARENESS

We are powered by our own inception –

the infusion of our intention with God 

Consciousness -  replayed over and over

within our Personal Consciousness

until it flowers – erupting in a bloom

of creation, expressing  the union of our 

true God potential.

 

Consider this thought – as a particle of God

Consciousness you hold the key to universal

possibility – potential - merely by becoming

an expression of your God nature – refusing

to allow thoughts of separation to dissuade

you and throw you off course.

 

Let every action be a connected action, 

enabling your Divine nature and your form

existence to walk in unison, becoming

the vibrational harmony of two consciousnesses

being experienced together.

 

Push your ego and your operational mind 

to cooperate - watch as the magic begins –

igniting your world positively, impacting

all existence through your song – the blended

voices of two awarenesses returning

to the vibration of one.

SLICE OF TIME 

This thin slice of time we now inhabit reveals

only the immediate moment, as we, in conscious

adaptation create a fuller, a more multidimensional

perspective of past and present incorporated,

well on its way to an imagined future. With this

lens in place, we maneuver these settings

to comprehend this expression of existence.

 

Perhaps this present – this prelude to the future

is but a convergence of multi-moments, a sum

of probable alternatives that, in an infinitesimal,

momentary calculation forms a sort of sum over

history, an average of all possible scenarios,

to select and give us, as our best and most

suitable reality – our now.

 

Limited by our perception, we must

be aware that God’s perspective is fuller,

more inclusive, but still impacted by the

complexity of multi frameworks, alternatives

selected and abandoned, along with the power

of will and choice in every sentient participant

in this existence, so no static, fully framed

future can exist,  just an ocean of possibilities

waiting to be perceived, then combined,

and finally, to arrive as a slice of the present

time for us to live again.

We, us, humankind, who forever exist as the

erupting force of viable life, let us know this:

from the very moment of first consciousness

our ancestors ripped at the light of the world

surrounding them, harnessing what was reachable

to create a more sustainable foundation going 

forward.

 

As we, in our lives now, add our footsteps to this

road, venturing onward, we must contribute, not

tentatively, but with our whole hearts, knowing

the very existence of future existence depends

upon the nurturing of this eruption.  

 

Let us each wade through the morass of our

unique lives, clearing away the lethargy, 

stretching to discover what sparks we might

ignite; what fountain of life we might inspire;

what wonder - personally and collectively

as a family of beings – we might erupt.   

 

LIFE ERUPTS

The road is crisp

       with becoming;

            worn bare and clean

         by the footsteps

               of the multitudes,  

                     who ventured onward,

                  with clear dreams

              and overwhelming hope,

           with faith as a shield,

      determined to reach,

              beyond the constraints

                   of nature, of God, of man,

               envisioning a life robust,

       enticing, fertile with possibility,

                just waiting for the planting

         of their souls, eager

               for the sweat of their effort,

                          knowing, it is in this place –

               at this moment,

                                          life erupts.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

POEM G.  6.10.2016

 

SPARKING A FOUNTAIN OF YOU

Scintillate, being the spark of new life, flashing

forth the pure blessing and energy of being, here,

alive, on earth, emitting the essence of the you

becoming, share the exploding purpose of pure 

and worthy intention, a soul bursting with

possibilities – sparking arcs, connecting,

conjoined with life partners, to create and

recreate now, fresh, patterns of presence,

existence. 

 

Scintillate, with each motion, movement, 

endeavor, shine forth the astounding wonder

of your individualized creation, share the sparks

of love, the creative genius, the uniqueness of your

offering, allowing passion and purpose to ignite 

and light the way, knowing the material and kindling

for this combustion resides within you, now, release

it now, protecting each eruption, as each spark 

pierces the darkness, until combined, a fountain

of light, of you, sustains us all.

torrent, noun. 1. a stream of water flowing

with great rapidity and violence. 2. a rushing,

violent, or abundant stream of anything.

3. a violent, tumultuous, or overwhelming flow.

 

We, the individual particles of humanity, 

on a macro level, flow torrentially; our streams 

of being inhabiting our earthly existence, 

stretching our sensibilities to become, to go 

beyond, to create, to evolve, to overcome

our propensity, our unbridled desire for

more of what is magnificent, as well as, 

potentially hazardous - our currents,

combined and solitary, create the great

ebb and flow, the tide of consciousness.

 

In essence, it is this torrent we must learn

to navigate, harnessing the very nature

of our natural momentum.

 

TORRENT

Nothing within our existence is stationary;

unchanging; or static; rather, it is like a

spring torrent – rushing uncontained,

forming then shifting, becoming again,

zestful, unhampered, or directed by what

was or what should be: and, so it is, with

each moment of life, appearing robust

then in pieces shattered, only to be restored,

formed, captured, and forgotten, as swiftly

as it is generated profoundly once more;

and in this, with this torrent, we seek

to slow the pace, find a meaning, a common

thread, holding on for dear life, wishing for

stasis, when none exists, until, with reflection

and careful meditation, our pursuit of order

and control gives way to a giving in, releasing,

an allowing, and we understand our place

in the motion and being of this torrent;

one not separate; contained; not impacted by –

we, the momentum rather than the moved.

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.

I am beginning to clear the underbrush and

plow the field in preparation for PART FOUR 

of the Finding God On The Train Story 

titled God Consciousness And The Divinity

Within, where I will offer an in-depth review 

of both the religious and scientific thinking

regarding the interaction of our Personal or

Local Consciousness with what has been labeled

as the Universal or God-Consciousness.  I am

going to use the phrase Personal Consciousness

rather than Local Consciousness. Although I feel

Personal Consciousness is more descriptive,

either label fits.

 

Within our Personal Consciousness - the message

directs us to three components: the Operational

Mind - our day-to-day mind; the Spiritual or Divine

Mind - our soul and internal Divinity; and the Ego -

which attempts to ensure our gratification and

survival.

 

The Meditation Guidance below-titled Human

Evolution directs our attention to the evolution 

of our spiritual or Divine mind, as humankind, 

especially during periods of awakening, makes

a conscious effort to solidify this Divine connection,

and as a result, hastens the evolution of humankind

from the current ego focus to a spiritual or God

focus. This process is what the Kabbalists, the Jewish

Mystics refer to as "Godding" - where we strive to

take on the perceived qualities of God. It has been 

proposed that this Godding is truly the next

evolutionary stage of humankind.

 

I will spend considerable time in PART FOUR

exploring this concept that the next evolutionary

stage of humankind is the spiritual expansion of

human consciousness - which would, if successful, 

allow for the survival of the species and quite

possibly the world. 

 

Is this, by chance, God's principal motivation for

reaching out to inspire this global spiritual change?  

Would genetic spiritual transcendence allow us

to survive our own ego-based potential for self -

destruction, and annihilation? Are we who support

this movement toward the spiritual awakening

really involved in fueling this spiritual and

physiological evolution of humankind?  

 

As we prepare to tackle these questions, let us

first, look at the guidance below that I have

received on the subject, using this as a starting

point for our discussion.

 

HUMAN EVOLUTION

The Divinity within us exists in personal

consciousness as a component of the Divine

Mind, or self, will be the focal point for

humankind’s continued evolution beyond

the existing ego focus - leading to the true

acceptance of the next level of existence –

the establishing of our God nature.

 

This step in evolution will occur on a personal

collective level, as each soul learns to overcome

or marshal the ego forces, which create the evil,

injustice, pain, and suffering of the current world –

thus allowing the Divine Mind to team with the

Operational Mind and reframe the conscious focus

by gaining ego support in this spiritual purpose

going forward.

 

As this occurs on a personal consciousness level

with greater numbers -  the collective or God

consciousness is also altered and joins in to

support this evolutionary spiritual growth.

Through this evolutionary step towards the

Godding of humankind, all existence on earth

is reframed as the divine or personal mind is

linked to God's mind for the creation of heaven

on earth.

 

A new ethic is born, a new morality engaged,

a vital vision of hope, peace, love, and happiness

grasped forever.

It has taken 13.7 billion years to create us;

the existing vanguard of conscious existence;

we must be sure to comprehend fully,

our relevance; our essential nature in the

amplification of all existence; we the pinnacle

of sentient, conscious creation; separate

yet indivisible: the current medium

of all that is.

 

WE ARE THE MEDIUM 

Worth, value, the essence of the meaning

or importance we attach to each aspect of

this life is presently determined by the value

of replacement, often failing to realize even

a moment of our conscious existence is beyond

value, irreplaceable, life in real-time, a sliver

is infinite and finite at the same time, like one

frame of a film, a nanosecond projected on

screens of consciousness within our minds,

the three-dimensional backdrop of each passing

moment, as senses fill the void with activity, color,

presence; we are the medium giving dimension

to the presence, so sure what is within us is a

representation of what is outside of us, fooled

into believing the distinction - when all is part

and parcel of even a fuller, more encompassing

consciousness: the unity, the all that is.

TENACITY!

Tenacity, holding firm on the path, refusing

to give in or give out – following through and

onward even when all circumstance suggests

a logic in letting go, withdrawing, or giving up.

Now is the time when we must reestablish

the grip on our dreams, our intentions, our long

pursued plans, reaching deep within our Souls

to find the strength and renewed courage to secure

our stance, balance our presence, lift our tired

limbs into motion – and shatter our resistance –

harnessing our forward momentum with vigor,

determination, and drive - overcoming our

exhaustion, replacing it with a second wind –

a thrust of belief, hope, and conviction – refusing

to yield or be impeded – denying any attempt

to thwart our sacred mission, our rightful destiny!

I have decided to present a few Meditative Notes

I have recorded that directly refers to Jesus or Christ

or Christ Consciousness. I am always working on

learning from the teachings and life of Jesus as Christ,

as I do from all the great spiritual leaders of the past.

 

I do believe Jesus was one of the most highly evolved

spiritual beings who have ever lived, and his life 

forms a path or way for all of us to emulate as

we move towards enlightenment.

 

New Thought often refers to the Divinity that we all

have within us as Christ Consciousness or the Inner

Christ. As we develop spiritually, we connect with

this consciousness, seeing the world as the

enlightened Christ. The following Meditation

Guidance focuses on a key component of this

way or path – Love.

                         

THE PATH TO CHRIST

Follow the path to Christ – through Christ –

with Christ – to the consciousness of Christ.

You are on the Crystal Path to the clarity of

consciousness – to pure connection with God

and man.

 

The path is pure, but the path is long, and at

times you will become confused and go off

course – even become lost. Follow the path

to Christ consciousness – do not be afraid –

do not despair, for God is with you for each

step.

 

Fill your heart with love – overflowing with love

for all creation as you turn off the constant manic

chatter of your mind. First, bathe yourself in love,

knowing your experiences today is part of the

divine order and the flow of your existence.

 

Love yourself and your perfection, your glorious

opportunity to experience the whole and abundant

life. Breathe out your negative, self-critical thought

and breathe in your splendor – your magnificence –

your wonder.

 

Loving yourself  - prepare to move forward -

freeing yourself from the details of the day.

Understand the illusion, you're often misguided

and unfounded interpretation of this thing you

call reality.

 

Remember, on the path, the reality you experience

is but a preparation – a sign of what you need to

learn or do to progress. Do not distort the now as

you view it through the convoluted lens of your ego

and see the magnificence of the journey and the joy

of moving on the path.

 

Follow the path and live, love, and be as Christ.

pleasure of being a squirrel and offers us

a simple nut of wisdom.  

 

I wrote this note below for Ann on a sleepy Sunday

morning, looking out at the gray sky, the snow

on the lawn, the oak tree outside of our sunroom,

watching a squirrel navigate a nut along a long limb

and marveling at the simplicity and the complexity

of existence.  Almost like a Zen master, I jotted

down the following note without explanation,

leaving the mystery of its meaning to the reader.

 

 THE SQUIRREL 

Through the sunroom window

  I see a squirrel maneuver

the limb of the tree – 

  how wondrous –

the squirrel being exactly

what the squirrel should be –

  a squirrel.

How perfect the life of a squirrel –

never desiring to be anything else

but a squirrel and succeeding.

 

As you can see, the note is shorter in length than

my usual Affirmative Thought notes, which are

usually first written for Ann before I publish them

on the blog. When I presented Ann with the note

later that morning with her first tea of the day,

she read it and gave me a half-smile and a casual

thanks as she tossed it gently on the dresser.

She turned and said, “I guess you didn’t have much

to say? I said,  “perhaps more than is apparent."

Half joking I said – “I just receive the messages

from God, I don’t take responsibility for the length

or content.” Ann gave me a half-laugh.

 

Almost two weeks later I am having dinner with Ann

at a local Italian restaurant, the kind of place we all

go to get a quick meal close to home, and Ann is

talking about work and she says, “you know, I have

decided to be a squirrel - I am no longer going to

try to be a rabbit or a dog but just the squirrel

I was made to be.” I almost dropped my fork 

full of pasta, thoroughly surprised the squirrel

had surfaced again.

 

Ann admitted that when I gave her the Squirrel

note she had dismissed it, thinking that I was just

tired or did not feel like writing that morning,

but the image of the contented squirrel kept

appearing in her mind. As time went on, she

decided the squirrel was being what the squirrel

was meant to be - fully authentic, and that was

why the squirrel was so happy and succeeded.

 

Ann said she then decided she was going to live

her life asking a simple question – “I am a squirrel,

am I trying to be something else by doing this? 

Am I trying to be the rabbit someone would

like me to be?"  Ann said she had decided to commit 

herself to always being just a squirrel? For Ann, the

squirrel had become a symbol of the authentic Ann - 

the Ann she was meant to be.

 

In the end, I also learned a great deal from Ann and

the squirrel. I do believe in our souls – we are born

with a divine spiritual instinct along with our genetic

predilections. When we know this Soul – this Divine

purpose  - our authentic purposeful life will shine –

we will discover the “Squirrel” in our hearts.

All we then need to do is ask Ann’s simple question –

are we being true to the squirrel we were meant to be?

 

WITH LOVE, G.

There are periods when I find it difficult

to connect with my Divine guidance; when

this occurs it usually takes me some effort

to determine what I am doing to impede

the process. I  have been in such a period

recently.  During these periods I do receive

direction, like I did this morning, when

my journal opened to the note below

and I felt compelled to read it, and publish

it on the blog.

 

As a musician, I realize the significance

of silences created by the composer,

instrumentalist, or improviser in a piece

of music; referred to as the “rests” –

an eighth rest, a quarter rest, a half rest,

a whole rest – designated portions

of time equivalent to the actual played

note lengths, where there is silence;

no sound is to exist. Of course, without

silence, there is no music, only a drone

of a fluctuating sound.

 

Perhaps, I am to understand and utilize

these periods of  divine “rest” or silence,

to listen to the eternal voice of the being

that exists, always within me, the message

and guidance of my own soul or divine-self.

 

WITHIN THE SPACES 

Live within the spaces of consciousness,

between the overlap of spheres of influence,

space between the concentric circles.

Movement between the spheres is doable

after detachment from the fixed state of

personal consciousness. It is in the spaces,

the silences, between words, thoughts, ideas,

and expressions – where the true genius exists.

The divine resides within the spaces, providing

the fabric of consciousness. Spaces between

the breaths, between the tones. Travel the

silent spaces.

 

Live within the spaces of existence, between

the beats of the heart. Allow life – Divine life –

to erupt from the spaces. Listen to the voice

of eternal being within you; the message is

soft and appealing, one of unity – furtherance –

and continual transcendence. Listen to the voice,

the message is so fragrant, that it enlivens every cell.

 

Live today within the spaces – feel the presence,

the true peace. Stop thinking, feel it instead,

truly encounter the true amniotic fluid –

the moist substance of eternal destiny – here

for a brief moment before moving onto more

pertinent being – an existence framed in more

expansive consciousness, yet know your life –

this life, and all its wonder and expansiveness,

is the true test – the epic adventure forcing

all who participate to develop, evolve, and

eventually, to transcend.

As we have discussed, the focus of the Finding

God On The Train Story message, is that we

and God interact through a shared consciousness

and as a result, as the note below conveys, it is a

“logical” outgrowth of this conceptual framework

that we share a combined existence, teamed

to make the most of our endeavors and our lives.

This, of course, is facilitated, and the benefits 

of coexistence maximized, when we actually

buy-in to this framework.

 

Likewise, this notion is built on the premise

that every living, being has an inner divine

nature and connection, that even with flat-out

negation, this divine connection cannot

be turned off or severed. Thus, the opportunity

for this inner divinity to assist even the totally

lost with reclaiming their redemption.

 

We, who believe in combined being, are in

a unique position to actually cocreate with

God our lives of joy, peace, love, and happiness –

heaven on earth. Others will benefit from

God’s close proximity and ability to assist

when possible.    

 

COMBINED BEING 

The lasting partnership of total oneness

asks for only acceptance, a willingness

to be one with the enveloping consciousness

of the eternal spirit, open to its flow, its push

and pull of complete awareness.

 

This consciousness incubates and fosters

the individually perceived awareness,

seen by most, as distinct and separate.

Spirit is with you as the air you breathe

is with you, dislocation, separation is

untenable, impossible; yet many conjure

a distance between the created and

the creative force of all.

 

Understand that Spirit, the infinite

awareness, through the soul, provides

the framework for a lasting partnership

of combined being, able to live and

be a united unfolding presence, open

to engender form from well-intentioned

thought, to partner in the cocreative

wonder of living, being, becoming.

PARTICLE OF TOTAL CONSCIOUSNESS

Even a small particle of consciousness is the

total consciousness of God – the I AM. You are

this essential cell of God-consciousness, forming

and manifesting the world into cocreated life

and creation.

 

A single cell of consciousness in the universal

body and form of God – moving forward with

the will and destiny of a particle energy –

mobilizing and energizing in harmony with

this universal consciousness – this infinite

consciousness – this infinite awareness we

often call God, Source, Spirit, or Divine Mind.

 

On a universal level, all the cell particles of

individual consciousness – from what we know

as sentient life – formulate and mobilize the total

consciousness – the I AM of all consciousness.

Be aware of your essential nature – your connection

and contribution to the whole, being aware of its

significance.

 

For a spiritually awakened you, contributes to

the full awakening of all intentions throughout

the universal consciousness. If you join with

others who are still asleep, within the illusion

of separateness and disjointed life, you will slow

the evolution of enlightenment – the movement

towards full awareness of God as God.

 

Ensure your consciousness is awake, alive, and

ready to bring forth life, power, and growth 

to the universe of love and God.

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

There is no time like the present moment to rephrase

the future, to set in motion constructive thought

and action into a more perfect vision of our dreams,

our intentions, our hope, and wonder; letting go

of the misconceptions, the misrepresentations

of our truthful path, our clear purpose.

 

Leave behind, let go of, and so forego the impression

that forces beyond our control - deceptions, external

enmity - may preclude our undertakings, foreshadow

our success, turning constructive effort into failure,

confusion, or unintended delay.

 

The only impediment to our true and rightful

becoming is our own hindrance, our lack of

belief, our doubts, our fears, so conceived and

realized that the very obstacle we face is self

erected, constructed by our own thoughts,

misgivings, and our perceptual, mental folly.

OUR HUMAN, SPIRITUAL EVOLUTION 

If we, humankind, evolve – we evolve into our

true spiritual capabilities, able to comprehend

the true power and essence of our individual

and joint communal existence, our innate ability

to cocreate our lives, our existence, our destiny –

to use our consciousness to envision an even

greater awareness, a more potent potential

for all of perceived existence.

 

The true nature of the intended thought will then

be fathomed, along with the actual intertwining

of human consciousness with even the most

subtle nature of what is experienced, the link

between human intention and the actual

beingness experienced; reality understood

as a joint demonstration of the intentions of

or by the observed.

 

As we evolve, the emergence of our joint human

consciousness, an amalgam of all sentient life

that has existed, exists, or will exist - providing

compassionate wisdom, brilliance, creative

foundation for the human universal growth and

expansion of connected life throughout the cosmic

domain.

 

Our destiny depends on this essential evolutionary

awakening – this reconnection to our very spiritual

center, to a time when the missteps or learning

of this now will be understood as a necessary

developmental step; as we understand our true

divine capabilities and natures; arbiters of heaven

on earth and throughout all conscious existence.

TRUTH MINING

Spiritually, we must all be miners of the truth

that will truly set us free. This truth is a current

running through all conscious life, revealing 

the clear purpose and divine meaning of this

existential experience. Each day let us don our

helmets and begin to mine for these apparent

and the not-so-obvious truths waiting for our

discovery. Knowing each is a kernel of God’s

essence – a piece of the puzzle of existence that

will enlighten us and grow us.

 

The spiritual truth, of course, begins with individual

or personal truth, for on the surface, an untrue

consciousness cannot mine for the deeper gems

existing within. Open yourself up to revealing and

accepting the truth of all things. This truth is not

critical or caustic, but civil and honest, real truth

is potent in its healing power, even if it, at times,

is uncomfortable and uneasy. 

 

As you mine your individual and spiritual truth,

be open to the rethinking or reflection needed

to bring you toward a truthful equilibrium.

Take each truth to God in prayer and meditation,

letting it grow like a seed in spring until it is lived

fully in your life.
