ONE IN YOU, MY LOVE

 

I am one in you, my love,

my Lord, my God, in subtle

ways – in quiet harmony –

in the echo of a dog’s bark –

in the cloudy breath on a

cold day – in the life of

a baby’s smile, I am one

in you – pure, powerful,

purposeful, you fuel my

life in creative splendor,

provide the beat of my

heart –lavishing me with

the love of your whispers –

the guidance of your wonder.

I am one in you, my love.

From early in 2008, the Hollow Mind is one

of my favorite meditation notes. To be mindful

and live in the Now we need to clear out the noise

generated by our minds and focus on our breathing.

 

As we all know, this is easier said than done.

But when we can accomplish this for ten minutes 

or for ten hours, we become a witness of life and

we take a giant step towards connecting with our

spiritual centers. 

 

This week I am making a special effort to return

to the Hollow Mind.

 

HOLLOW MIND 

 

The hollow mind contains the spiritual universe.

Clear out the thought – the mantra of a disturbing

reality – clear out the fear of a morbid past or a perceived

consequence of the future.

 

Clear the mind and you clear the soul. Attain the hollow

mind – open – expansive – a blank slate of humanity –

for here is the gateway to infinity – all knowing –

the divine nature within.

 

Clear out the noise, the chirp of the forgotten child,

the fear of past cruel masters – clear out the debris

of physical want and make your mind hollow.

Focus on your breathing to turn off the constant

verbal barrage of the ego and the world indoctrination.

 

Clear out the noise – make the mind hollow.

And in the hollow mind meet the universe

of all connection – the portal to all enlightenment.

Connect and reach for the vision of the heartlight –

pure – thoughtless – all knowing connection

of spiritual love and kindness.

 

The hollow mind does not come easy.

The senses and the insane thoughts seem to fill

it up with the debris of the past. You must work

to focus your attention on the now that requires

no thoughts – no reasoning. Avoid the false logic

of the ego which lives to move you from the path.

 

The hollow mind is an empty vessel with infinite

capacity to experience the fullness and rich texture

of life.

 

The hollow mind contains the infinite spiritual

universe and the connection to the divinity in you

and beyond you. The presence of source, God,

all positive creation.

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 thegreat 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.

I have decided to present a few Meditative Notes

I have recorded that directly refer 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 for

me 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 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 are part of 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 -

freeingyourself from the details of the day.

Understand the illusion, your 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.

Recently, I decided that I should start to reread

some of the guidance I have received on a daily

basis. So reaching for one of my black moleskin 

journals, where I record my meditation guidance,  

I opened it to a meditation note from November

of 2011 titled The Question. 

 

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

excellent opening - almost tailor-made - for a key

chapter of Book Three - of the Finding God On

The Train Story series 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

presented in this guidance provides a viable

starting point for this discussion.

 

THE QUESTION

 

The question is this – are our thoughts truly creating

the reality we are experiencing, and if so, how does it

occur, 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 peak 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.

progeny – noun – (treated as singular or plural)

a descendant or the descendants of a person,

animal, plant; offspring.

 

The concept of an emergent God has captured

my attention and contemplation, a God that

might have erupted from the creative life force

within us, a product of our confluent intentions,

given form by our joint hopes, dreams, desires,

imaginings; attracted by our incessant spiritual

need: eventually given life within our communal

consciousness, our shared universal consciousness.

 

Today, while meditating and focusing on this

possibility that humankind may have reached

out for salvation and transcendence, I was

offered the note below and jotted down these

inspired words.

 

AN EMERGENT GOD

 

We, humankind, are the progeny of an ever

evolving existence, of intentions, formed and

emergent, palpating with desire, fervor,

stretching to be more, to be alive, pushing

what is not into being, shaping formless into form,

an incubator for possibilities and potentials.

 

God, as with all existence, is the result of this

creative cauldron, perhaps conceived by a

multitude of hopeful whispers, pleas for

salvation, a reverberation of heartfelt intentions,

etched out from centuries of suffering and fear,

grasping for an overseer of humanities’ plight

and destiny; for a friend, an arbitrator, perhaps

to offer a sense of rationality, balance, and morality

in a tumultuous world.  

 

This God, formed in our mutual and shared

consciousness has been given life, taken shape,

answered our prayers, aiding in our becoming,

realizing our capacity for magnificence as

well as intolerance, working to manage

our appetites for more, urging us to consider

love over madness, hope over despair –

enlightenment over darkness.

What if we could see the world the way that

God perceives it? In the Affirmative Thought

below, we pose the question and speculate on

what would be on God’s mind and how would

God feel. 

 

Would God be focused on compassion,

love, and kindness or something else?

 

AS GOD WOULD SEE IT                                                     

 

Today let us see the world –

     our world – as God would see it – 

    alive with infinite possibility

and potential – abundant and ripe

    for further creation and evolution –

beautiful and wondrous without measure.

 

Today let us see the world,

    through God’s mind and emotion –

full of compassion, full of love,

     full of kindness.

 

Today let us reach for God,

    with the hands of God,

forgiving those who are struggling

    emotionally, mentally, physically,

or spiritually; and through love,

     assist them with their

realignment and return to joy.

to bring you to your greater good –

to smooth away any fears or doubts

and replace them with feelings of trust,

clearing your mind and empowering

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 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 in this moment with all you have cocreated –

with your manifested abundance.

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 my one of my own journals where I have

recorded the Meditation Guidance I have 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 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 but 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 – listen 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.

constancy -  noun - the quality of being

            enduring and unchanging.

 

flux  - noun – a state of continuous

                      change.

 

God is the energy of creation within the fluid

flux of existence: the thrust that evolves us,

that improves us, that has taken us kicking

and screaming from our dingy cave dwellings

into an existence of continuously more profound

possibility; with a growing, expanding insight,

that allows us to push all natural constraints,

and, even as our repeated attempts may fail

at times, often at an incredible toll of human

life, this spirit of God born within us, wakes

our aching souls as it stirs our daunted desires,

inspires our muddled dreams, as we stumble

forward, humbled but wiser.  

                                                                                   

                 FLUID FLUX

 

        There is no constancy,

    only life in fluid flux,

        an ocean of possibilities,

        appearing, being, then

            fading; moments sought

            and then discarded;

     desired briefly, only to be

        repelled - as we in lucid

            stretches intend our destiny

                with passion embraced,

            knowing clarity melds reality;

           some faint semblance of order,

                    yet even in this turmoil

                springs a synergy of faith,

              knowing this continual

           birthing will spawn

                  a wellspring of new,

                       fragrant life,

                layer upon layer

              of potential being, until

           in moments unexpected,

               it takes form and becomes

                   a resemblance of our

                 most potent yearnings,

                   stark and appealing.

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 natures.

 

The meditation guidance below 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 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.

We are here to assume our true God qualities

and powers by overcoming our own propensity

for negative thought, 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, 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.

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 to be 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 the 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.

THE SPOT OF INFINITE UNFOLDING

 

Life is expression, full and robust,

the demonstration of a flowing and

flowering of intention, the consequences

of existence in all its forms and varieties,  

extending to reach through and beyond,

to grasp possibility and potential,

willing both into tangible substance,

experienceable being.

 

Every part and parcel of this orchestration

that enlivens our souls, pumps our lungs,

maintains our equilibrium, displays our

consciousness, is an active agent of life

evolving, the tentacles of God reaching,

imagining, envisioning via each sentient

presence, through each awareness.

 

We, you and me, us all represent

the ultimate testament to this force

of natural striving, this divine reaching,

this roar of heartfelt becoming, fresh

in its order, always presenting a continual

newness, an infinite surprise, a possibility

reachable but beyond reach, a solitary

point where life unfolds, erupts, comes,

goes, and becomes again: the spot of

infinite unfolding.

THE COLLECTIVE BEING

 

God is not a super being - God is the collective

being of our consciousness, our existences,

our living experience combined and infused

into one potential source of guidance and

inspiration – it is not he or it – it is they or

them from the first to the last – all sentient

conscious life working to assist us in living

it better, fuller, with less pain, with more joy,

to assist us with stumbling less and running

more – to assist us with living beyond the

limits and by doing so expand the potential

for all to follow in the future.

 

We, each of us, is connected to this field of

God consciousness aware of its purpose.

We are present extensions of possibility,

of potential, feeding back our experience.

Our soul is the portal to the collective soul

of life as God – by praying to it, by connecting

with it, by appealing to it and it will guide us,

enlighten us with what it knows to date, 

pushing us to even greater heights.

 

This is God.

Over the past few months, as I have stretched

to conceive of the next evolutionary step for

the Finding God On The Train blog content

I share and publish, I have realized it is God

that is at work in my life. I believe God is the

very catalyst for all inspiration, innovation,

and creative becoming: the evolutionary

energy behind all existence. Try as I will

to remain firm and fixed in my very

comfortable place, God will provide me

with a new perspective and fresh way

of seeing I am powerless to ignore.

  

FRESH EYES

 

Seeing with fresh eyes a new and more pertinent

vision, a reforming Gestalt snapping into place,

taking the first sustained breath, awakening

the sensibilities with a conceptual surprise,

potent, worthy, ready to thrive.

 

It is this process of conceptual rebirth that is

needed when every point of access is confused,

hampered, made faint and fuzzy by doubt,

often embodying our inept confusion and lack

of clarity, with the fog of change inhibiting our

forward progress.

 

Ruminate, contemplate, take stock of all included

or neglected, allowing the potentials of a meaningful

solution to find expression, as it works to form

and reform into a pertinent course of action; an

inclusive proposition for future progress and

development.

We are part and parcel of an evolving, creative

one with and not at odds with our own possibility,

our flowering potential – contributing to the

My quest for a positive, personal spirituality has

required my acceptance that the standard notions

of God must be questioned, if a workable notion,

at least for me, is to be ascertained. From

time to time, I like to share the Meditation 

Guidance I have received that continues

to clarify the God I have found on the train.

 

If we start with the premise that God is,

in actuality, a consciousness, then the

Mediation Guidance below referring to an

evolving consciousness of God would be

tenable, for would God not also be learning,

growing, evolving, and expanding along with us.

 

My point here is to offer the message

I have received as another perspective

for consideration, not to convince anyone

that my perspective is the only viable one.

 

Your thoughts are always welcomed.

 

GOD EVOLVING

 

God is an evolving purpose in a fluid world,

an intention that grows, expands with each

breath,  reaching out, stretching all life forward

in an effort of becoming more, fuller, integrating,

infusing, connecting to obtain a more perfect

potential. This is the ongoing creation, forming,

reforming, learning as it has done since the

beginning of the original becoming.

 

This energy, this evolving purpose is the force,

the source of life with each creation, every cell,

every particle, everything a work in perpetual

progress. This is centered in the consciousness

of God that one day awoke to the potential for

more perfect life, fuller existence, and has since

worked to allow life to form and reform into

workable possibility guided by the individual

desire of each for growth, for becoming their

true possibility.

 

Humankind is an extension of this effort,

the culmination, allowing the consciousness

of life to take form, to sense, to feel, to create,

to flourish in a perfect, yet still evolving form –

the extension of God purpose in actual existence.

Let us realize our significance as we expand

the consciousness that has created us, as we

contribute to the consciousness through our

efforts and intentions and as a result truly grow

all life, and actually grow God.

 

As we do, let us prepare to take our rightful place

in the becoming, pushing towards our own

evolution, our own potential reaching to be

the personification of God consciousness,

becoming God entities focused on individually

and collectively expanding the parameters

of all life.

 

Grow with diligence!

 

WITH LOVE, G.

to a more prosperous, purposeful,

beings we are, let us lift above

            and beyond to our greater good,

our waiting magnificence.

 

Feel the creative power and energy

            that is God, as it infuses your spirit,

fires your enthusiasm, propels your

pushing you, me, and all of us towards our true

pushed to convey as if someone is

nothing of significance, I might offer

by way of further comment, I will step

of this note to be voiced.

  

GOD’S GRACE IN ACTION

  

Redemption, resurrection, renewal –

the path of God’s grace in action,

the cleansing of what needs to be washed

away and forgiven; enabling a return

to the original purpose and intention

of being, able again to be unbounded,

now ready to live as ordained;

with a sense of renewed determination,

enthusiasm, and momentum.

 

Each of us has the capability to redeem

and to be redeemed, to face the tarnished

perception of our desires gone awry,

reaching our hands into the fount of God’s

mercy, restoring what was perceived

as lost, yet merely forgotten, now awaited.

 

Each of us has the capacity for resurrection,

even after the most undeserving experience,

no further suffering required, the need

for further punishment giving way to a chance

for complete forgiveness and restoration.

 

Each of us has the compassion and love

of God to fathom an appropriate renewal,

one that announces the clarification

of divinely guided and cocreated intention,

a time to soar again, to flourish once more,

to truly celebrate the magnificence

of being alive, whole and transcendent.

of this note to be voiced.

  

GOD’S GRACE IN ACTION

  

Redemption, resurrection, renewal –

the path of God’s grace in action,

the cleansing of what needs to be washed

away and forgiven; enabling a return

to the original purpose and intention

of being, able again to be unbounded,

now ready to live as ordained;

with a sense of renewed determination,

enthusiasm, and momentum.

 

Each of us has the capability to redeem

and to be redeemed, to face the tarnished

perception of our desires gone awry,

reaching our hands into the fount of God’s

mercy, restoring what was perceived

as lost, yet merely forgotten, now awaited.

 

Each of us has the capacity for resurrection,

even after the most undeserving experience,

no further suffering required, the need

for further punishment giving way to a chance

for complete forgiveness and restoration.

 

Each of us has the compassion and love

of God to fathom an appropriate renewal,

one that announces the clarification

of divinely guided and cocreated intention,

a time to soar again, to flourish once more,

to truly celebrate the magnificence

of being alive, whole and transcendent.

MIRACLE OF BEING

 

We sit together, God, in our joint worlds

holding each other's hands,

at peace with all and our own creation,

knowing each moment is a blessing,

each breath a resurrection,

every sound or silence an awakening. 

Clear we are in our purpose:

the full utilization of this day of life,

singular in its magnificence, its opportunity

to move our existence, all existence

further, stronger, wiser, abler -

to flourish, strive, reach beyond all false

limitations and restrictions, 

as we lovingly represent 

the pure miracle of being.

What if, as has been suggested by my recent

guidance posted earlier this week, that we,

here on earth are actually the vanguard of life

in this universe: the first step, and as such,

the only fully sentient, conscious life that has

been, so far, accomplished by this magnificent

universal life form.

 

Today, while again meditating on our place

in the universe, I received the guidance below

titled simply The Whole. As I read this note,

I think of the renowned theoretical physicist

that I have fully referenced in my book series,

and his ontological conceptual quantum

framework outlined in his inspired book

titled Wholeness and the Implicate Order.

 

My guidance often ends with a conceptual

push forward, encouraging some confusion,

wonder, and future investigation. Today it

is the final phrase of this note: “to enhance

and enliven the whole of wholes.”

 

THE WHOLE

 

We exist within the concentric wholes of everything,

the universal whole is the substance supporting

a multiple of wholes, sentient and non-sentient,

every morsel of matter supports the aspects of a

combined existence, each when flourishing

supporting its intention as it contributes to the

combined or communal coexistence, the ultimate

intention.

 

Our human whole is an essential aspect, yet still

in a state of becoming, it supports the universal

whole through cohesive intention supported by

a living consciousness, with each individual being

an essential aspect of the fabric of awareness,

each holding this reality intact, supporting what

is joint perception.

 

Our human whole – body, mind, consciousness,

and soul operates at a level of intricate complexity,

a unit not separate but within the ocean of light,

air, and space – always connected to the current

now as well as all beingness across time.

 

Our healthy, positive thoughts form the adhesive

for our individual and communal experience

within the universal whole. The entropy of even

one human whole diminishes the universal whole.

 

As we perceive our existence and understand

our contribution, we will better understand our

origins, as well as our destiny, which is, to enhance

and enliven the whole of wholes.

CAUTION: The note below titled Our Earnest

Effort, along with the commentary that follows

it, may be unsettling to some who have a

more traditional view of the origins of God.

I say this, in order to give these readers an

opportunity to skip this post. Thanks, G.

              _______________________

 

earnest (adjective) - resulting from or

showing sincere and intense conviction.

(noun) a thing intended or regarded

as a sign or promise of what is to come.

 

OUR EARNEST EFFORT

 

We are mobile creatures in search

of our origin, our primal essence,

the first cause of our very existence;

this search ignites our creative center,

as we conjure gods, rulers, myths,

magic, wizards, and/or shamans

to interpret our place, our possible

situation; perhaps to connect with

our creator, to return to where

we originated, once more.

 

This molten force of will has

formed a conjoined intention,

given life to this distant, passionate

pursuit; overwhelming, unwieldy,

forging a consciousness of human

longing, a continual cry for our lost

place, our desire to be spiritually

comforted by our universal, ancestral

Mother – Father – the formulator

of our beingness.

 

From this earnest effort, we, humankind,

manifested a presence, a conscious

response, the hoped for overseer,

a gentle, engaged strength – a God –

a tangible consciousness, a combined

soul evolved through and by conflicting

views, this presence finds being, and

provides love, peace, joy, and happiness –

our combined intention.

 

NOE G. 5.18.2017

 

So, what if the note above is tenable,

would the following conceptual

foundation be supportable.

 

Our Universe is continually evolving

in order to fulfill our unique desires –

at its core, at the root of its very essence,

hardwired into its firmware, an algorithm

existing for growth through conscious

creation – a creation engine of sorts,

a 3D printer producing thought into being,

being that is tweaked and altered into

better being, then into evolved being –

often appearing to take even our sketchy

thoughts, dreams, and visions -  for good

or ill  - seriously - working beneath and

beyond our understanding, to make them

appear. All this with consciousness as

its medium, strong intention as its catalyst,

tangible reality as its exhibition.

 

So, if this first proposition is supportable –

then the creation engine referred to above,

would certainly qualify as a potential god

like presence; yet one that is founded in

natural Law, or possibly better put,

algorithm based, rather than love and

kindness centered. Although, a god

providing an existence that attempts

to give us what we desire, for the most

part, does seems rather loving to me. 

 

We, humankind, each of us, our world,

our reality would be the result of this

continual creative force – given that we,

each of us, would be mobile creative

creatures, fully designed and connected

with this universal consciousness, capable

of bringing what we wish into being.

Thus, all of this, every human adapted

thing we see and touch: our human

world, manifested by us, for us, in less

than a few hundred thousand years.

 

So with this creative power, the combined

consciousness of human kind fuels

the emergence of all it surveys,

a communal force so potent it can change

the very underpinnings of reality, enabling

all life to flourish in a virtual heaven on earth –

or, as we sometimes do, create a virtual hell

on earth that unknowingly speeds human

kind, all of us, towards our own extinction.

 

Perhaps, within our combined creative

reach – is a god of worth, a god of merit,

a god of love and hope, a god of our own

creation – or maybe altering.  The note

above seems to suggest that we

collectively, unknowingly through

the millions of prayers, and pleas,

and thoughts over thousands of years

of struggle, suffering, and hard fought

existence, that we, we may have

created, manifested a God of meaning,

a God of purpose, a God of goodwill,

a God that we deserve – through our

own vested power of creation.  

 

As often occurs when writing these

posts, my original objective to present

this speculative concept of an emergent

God, created from our conjoined human

consciousness, has, over a few paragraphs

itself evolved into a fuller, and I guess

for me, a more fascinating and plausible

concept - that through our spiritual

based intentions, we all created a more

engaging, loving, useful, caring God,

enhancing the universal creative engine

with a heartlight. A God of the heart

as well as of natural law.

 

However it happened, this is the God

I am going to keep empowering

and fostering through my prayers,

my gratitude, and my love.

 

Thanks for speculating with me,

as I continue to attempt to fully

understand the guidance I receive.

Although God communicates with us through

our own language, expressing in the terms

and idioms and icons we most understand:

perhaps God’s language, is the first language

of sincere expression, primarily vibrational,

emotional, intentional as the note below

conveys; and we – if we really listen with

our full hearts, are capable of translating

this communication into our own words

and symbols. Perhaps, our literal brainware

has been engineered to translate this God

message, and does so, if we will intently

listen, with faith, for its song.

 

THE FIRST LANGUAGE

 

Within deep consciousness we speak

in emotions, vibrations, intentions

rather than words that require learning

and translation; we speak the first language

of sincere expression – feeling – the intensity

of expression spoke with and through 

the heart; moving via the heartlight;

sounding and resounding and rebounding

and reverberating through time

and levels of space – across dimensions: 

this is the communication, the language

of the cosmos – listen intently, heart focused,

and it is possible to hear the sounds of aware

life expressing, listen even more completely

and the messages will find expression within

and through you, as they have and continue

to do, as this note validates. Today, again

place your ear to the tracks of the cosmos, 

listen for its song - sonorous and lush.

This morning, while meditating and attempting

to focus my mind, which was fixated on all the

projects and efforts I have yet to complete or

finish, I began to shuffle through the images

and impressions of the year, and a question

captured my attention; simply put the question

asked:

 

Have you grown this year?

 

My first response was a bit snarky, “oh yeah,

I have grown older and much slower,” as

I prepared to brush it off as an annoying

interruption. Again, the question was restated:

 

Have you grown this year?

 

After a few more of these iterations, the guidance

kicked in to make its case.

 

Have you grown spiritually? Have you made

progress on your quest - gained insight?

Have you grown emotionally? Are you more

compassionate, kind - caring; are you more

patient; are you more loving; more empathetic,

encouraging – are you moving towards

“the being” you know is needed for the evolution

of all existence.  

 

The guidance also suggested that I leave behind

what is not working for me, like a pile of dirty

clothes, and encouraged choosing to move into

the new year fresh, open, ready to continue

the expansion of my spiritual self.

 

During my business career I was faced with

an annual self-assessment, to be completed and

reviewed with my manager during my performance

evaluation. This was taken very seriously, so it

required a great deal of objective thinking.

 

Yet, this is not a self-assessment, but better

expressed as a connection with God-assessment.

Have I moved closer to God this year, has my

relationship with God improved, or have I allowed

the strains and obstacles of life to inhibit my growth?

 

The answer is not as important as the recommitment

to life as a spiritual being, a refocusing of what is

of worth and value in our lives: our faith and the

knowledge that we are, without a doubt, never alone.

 

WITH LOVE, G.

SUNDAY QUESTIONS

 

Can we shine, can we soar today complete

and whole, refreshed, renewed, letting go

of what was or has been, replacing it all

with a fresh vision and approach to living –

letting go of senseless constraints,

selecting instead a more spontaneous

path to our heaven on earth?

 

Do we not contain within the essential

ingredients for this catharsis – are we

not able to reach this sweet spot of

divine being – this clear connection

waiting for our tacit awakening – our

coming to full authentic life – the true

purpose of our existence waiting for

our arrival?

 

Is there not more, much more to this

moment of continual consciousness

than a few pleasures mixed with

occasional struggle – have we not

found in these shifting sands the magic

of a love so supreme it reaches us daily

to pull us into oneness – are we not now –

here and now – ready to abandon our

tired pursuit in favor of fresh existence?

 

AT G. 3.17.2013

 

I start out this post with an Affirmative

Thought I stumbled on this morning,

as I was checking to see if I had used

the phrase “sweet spot” for the title

of a previous post. I was directed to two

entries on my blog archives, this post

featuring Sunday Questions frankly

stopped in my tracks.

 

In 2013, I featured photos to support

many of my posts, and this one had

the photo below, with its collection of

captivating steeples, presented along

with this long forgotten Affirmative 

Thought.

 

I realized, as often occurs on this wondrous

spiritual,  journey, as my eyes began filling 

up with emotion,  I was once again receiving 

a message. You see, I have been working on

what will soon be a book of my spiritual poetry

titled, STEEPLES – THE SPIRITUAL POETRY

OF FINDING GOD ON THE TRAIN – NOTES ON

ENLIGHTENMENT – Quest For A Positive,

Personal Spirituality.

 

This book will feature over two hundred

poems, prayers, affirmative thoughts,

and notes, along with personal photos

of steeples existing near and dear to me.

As I reviewed the post, I realized this photo

above was perfect to open this collection,

as was its Affirmative Thought, Sunday

Questions.

 

(For me, steeples reflect, much like

our spiritual poetry, our innate desire

to connect with the divine, to reach beyond

as individuals and congregations, reaching

to connect with the very essence of God).

Now, let me, hopefully, segue this to the

remainder of the post. Here goes.

 

The message of Finding God On The Train

has centered on the ability of each one

of us to connect with God directly and

personally; tapping into what we might

envision as an eternal broadcast, set to

connect with whoever breaks through

and listens - much like the communication

we earthlings rocket into distant space,

hoping to connect with whom or whatever.

 

In reality, I believe this consciousness

based, prevailing message, is more

personally tailored to the individual listener.

The Quakers have actually centered their

faith and worship around this concept

of a direct personal connection with God.  

I do feel this is, and may remain, a point

of contention and confusion with many

of our more mature religious orientations.

 

So with this post, I offer some additional

guidance in hopes of aiding those who are

actively in pursuit of the “still small voice,”

by amplifying some of the subtleties of this

interaction, at least based on my personal

guidance received over the first-half

of this October 2016.

 

First, as conveyed by this Affirmative

Thought below, we must understand

our own sweet spot:

 

SWEET SPOT

 

Let us reach within and grasp

    our own sincerity, our authentic

        essence, our clear and always

present - “individuator” –

    the internal sweet spot where

        God glows eternally.

 

Today, let us allow this presence

    to express itself unobstructed,

        touching our now, listening

as God’s support and concern

    eases our distress, cleanses

        our despair wakens our courage.

 

Yes, even with God intertwined,

    we continue on self-propelled,

        stabilized, yet still with hands

on the wheel, maneuvering

    our forward progress, seeking

        still our intended target.

 

AT G. 10.20.2016

 

Next, I am often reminded via my spiritual

guidance, as the note below, titled Truth

Mined suggests, that when we connect

with this God intertwined - within this

communication slash interaction - there

exists a “whispered secret.” Personally,

I feel the secret, which requires mining

with “eyes ablaze and fingers bleeding”

suggested by the note, may reflect a

personal message or communication,

possibly towards our authentic identity,

a clue to our fully becoming, or maybe

a suggestion for well-being. For this truth,

I believe we must each personally and 

actively mine.

 

TRUTH MINED

 

Instilled deep within

is the secret -

the testimony of becoming -

framed in sentiments

and open harmonies,

desires, passionate longings,

wordless expressions which

pulls and tug

at all awareness,

all choice,

all speculation,

gripping our attention

until words like mountain

mist dissipate in sun-filled

light, drift from sight:

in this primal place, we must,

with grunts and groans,

reframe our notions

of "is" or "could be"

 into expressions

of sincere utterance -

this truth must be mined

with eyes ablaze and

fingers bleeding, no simple

formulation or conjecture

will do to unearth its appeal,

conceive its melody,

whisper its secret.

 

POEM G. 10.13.2016  

 

This final segment of this guidance

offered below, titled Passion’s Nectar,

was also received in this October series

of communications, and reminds us

that spiritual pursuits require a form

of compensation or payment, often

under the guise of pure passion. As with

all things spiritual, no casual approach

will suffice.

 

PASSION’S NECTAR

 

Nothing worth finding

    is found without pursuit,

nothing worth acquiring

    is acquired without payment;

in all measures, compensation –

    through effort or vision,

through sweat or pain -

    sparks the release

of the tangible substance,

    allowing form justification

for existence, enabling

    our penny wise and pound foolish

to free up the that which is or

    will be, being exchanged

for proper tender with

    passion’s nectar extracted

for what is owed,

    leaving us dazed but content.

 

NOE G. 10.21.2016

 

With all this said, I believe it is still

persistence that will win the day.

 

WITH LOVE, G.

SUNDAY QUESTIONS

 

Can we shine, can we soar today complete

and whole, refreshed, renewed, letting go

of what was or has been, replacing it all

with a fresh vision and approach to living –

letting go of senseless constraints,

selecting instead a more spontaneous

path to our heaven on earth?

 

Do we not contain within the essential

ingredients for this catharsis – are we

not able to reach this sweet spot of

divine being – this clear connection

waiting for our tacit awakening – our

coming to full authentic life – the true

purpose of our existence waiting for

our arrival?

 

Is there not more, much more to this

moment of continual consciousness

than a few pleasures mixed with

occasional struggle – have we not

found in these shifting sands the magic

of a love so supreme it reaches us daily

to pull us into oneness – are we not now –

here and now – ready to abandon our

tired pursuit in favor of fresh existence?

 

AT G. 3.17.2013

 

I start out this post with an Affirmative

Thought I stumbled on this morning,

as I was checking to see if I had used

the phrase “sweet spot” for the title

of a previous post. I was directed to two

entries on my blog archives, this post

featuring Sunday Questions frankly

stopped in my tracks.

 

In 2013, I featured photos to support

many of my posts, and this one had

the photo below, with its collection of

captivating steeples, presented along

with this long forgotten Affirmative 

Thought.

 

I realized, as often occurs on this wondrous

spiritual,  journey, as my eyes began filling 

up with emotion,  I was once again receiving 

a message. You see, I have been working on

what will soon be a book of my spiritual poetry

titled, STEEPLES – THE SPIRITUAL POETRY

OF FINDING GOD ON THE TRAIN – NOTES ON

ENLIGHTENMENT – Quest For A Positive,

Personal Spirituality.

 

This book will feature over two hundred

poems, prayers, affirmative thoughts,

and notes, along with personal photos

of steeples existing near and dear to me.

As I reviewed the post, I realized this photo

above was perfect to open this collection,

as was its Affirmative Thought, Sunday

Questions.

 

(For me, steeples reflect, much like

our spiritual poetry, our innate desire

to connect with the divine, to reach beyond

as individuals and congregations, reaching

to connect with the very essence of God).

Now, let me, hopefully, segue this to the

remainder of the post. Here goes.

 

The message of Finding God On The Train

has centered on the ability of each one

of us to connect with God directly and

personally; tapping into what we might

envision as an eternal broadcast, set to

connect with whoever breaks through

and listens - much like the communication

we earthlings rocket into distant space,

hoping to connect with whom or whatever.

 

In reality, I believe this consciousness

based, prevailing message, is more

personally tailored to the individual listener.

The Quakers have actually centered their

faith and worship around this concept

of a direct personal connection with God.  

I do feel this is, and may remain, a point

of contention and confusion with many

of our more mature religious orientations.

 

So with this post, I offer some additional

guidance in hopes of aiding those who are

actively in pursuit of the “still small voice,”

“It is a secret every intellectual man quickly

learns, …by unlocking, at all risks, his human

doors, and suffering the ethereal tides to roll

and circulate through him; he is caught up in the

life of the Universe, his speech is thunder, his

thought is law, and his words are universally

intelligible…”

 

From THE POET - Second Series Essays

by Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

At the conceptual center of the New Thought

theological framework that my inspiration 

borrows from so heavily, is the genius

of  Ralph Waldo Emerson, leader of the

Transcendental philosophical movement

developing in New England around 1835.

 

Transcendentalism, a response to rationalism,

taught that divinity pervades all nature and 

humanity, and its early members who formed 

the Transcendental Club, including Margaret

Fuller, Bronson Alcott, Theodore Parker,

Frederick Henry Hedge, George Ripley,

Elizabeth Peabody, and later Henry David

Thoreau, held progressive views on a

full-range of spiritual and secular topics,

including feminism and communal living.

 

Much of the guidance forming this movement

evolved from the popular lecture based

essays written and presented by Emerson

at the time, along with the Transcendental

monthly literary publication – The Dial -

first published in October 1839.

 

Before proceeding, I would like to offer

the note that follows titled Taut Wisdom,

and then return to Emerson and hopefully

clarify the central theme of this post.

 

TAUT WISDOM

 

The connection with all that is or has ever been,

is but a focused thought away – a conscious

awareness - congealed through vigorous living

and being, awaits our reach, waiting, open

to reveal the centuries of experience founded

in hard-fought expression, sifted, mulled over,

boiled down to a wellspring of taut wisdom,

careful analysis, freshly minted insight,

steeped in the genius and talent of all who have

reached, have stirred, have flourished; even

those who have suffered with eyes wide open,

willing to aid others progress through the shifting

sands of existence: so, let us let go of any obstacles

real or self-created, keeping us from joining hands,

minds, with this divine resource; connecting,

allowing the vision and wisdom of a multitude

of expanded expression to overflow upon us,

submerge us, in a more comprehensive perspective,

enveloping, exciting, exploding the creativity

that ignites us into an eternal flame.

 

NOE G. 9.23.2016 

 

This note, for me, expresses the existence

of a collective consciousness that I propose,

is a Collective Soul Consciousness at the center

of all inspiration, whether in word, thought,

vision, or dream that guides our creative

efforts, pushing us beyond the secular into

the spiritual domain.

 

All we need to do is open ourselves up

to this Taut Wisdom, allow it to inspire us, 

give it room to exist within us and express

its very essence through us. When we do,

we will understand the origins of great

genius, of artistic mastery, of divine

insight.

 

It was Emerson who would first upset

ordained theology by presenting his

lectures titled the The Over-Soul and

Plato: Or, The Philosopher, outlining

his vision of the Over-Soul - a Universal

Mind shared by all, including God.

This concept was based primarily on

the work of Plato with refinements later

offered by Plotinus and other Neoplatonists.  

 

For Emerson, and the Transcendentalists,

this developing Universal Mind, or Reason

as Emerson would often refer to it, was the

ruling principle of living a spiritually based

individual life. At the next level was the

Cursive Mind, also called Understanding,

which represented the individual mind.

 

The promptings of this Reason or Universal

Mind were considered by Emerson to be

instinctive, intuitive, communicated in great

stillness without words, “apprehended in

moments of pure refection,”recognized

by the heart and then expressed by the

imagination.  

 

As I will clarify in Part Four of  Finding

God On The Train – The Book – titled God

Consciousness and The Divinity Within,

which is still under construction and to be

published on the blog in the next month

or so, intended to highlight my Theory of

God Consciousness, which includes, based

on my guidance, this aspect of Universal

Consciousness referred to as the Collective

Soul Consciousness. I will quote from a

FGOTT book passage explaining what I mean

by this concept.

 

The Collective Soul Consciousness, is where

the life forces of all human or other sentient life,

existing now or previously existing, reside.

This collective grouping provides the creative

resource, the memory, and the intelligence of all

existence, by creating an infinite consciousness

or intelligence, connecting all the souls of human

or other sentient life, with the guidance to develop

and grow per historical evolution and learning.

This is the level that holds the blueprint, the ever

evolving master design for all existence from the

cell level through the complexities of human form.

 

I believe, as did Emerson, that we are each able

to tap into this wisdom by entering into the

silence, asking for guidance, and just listening;

allowing this consciousness to express through

us without edit, by letting it convey.  

 

WITH LOVE, G.

constancy -  noun - the quality of being

            enduring and unchanging.

 

flux  - noun – a state of continuous

                      change.

 

God is the energy of creation within the fluid

flux of existence: the thrust that evolves us,

that improves us, that has taken us kicking

and screaming from our dingy cave dwellings

into an existence of continuously more profound

possibility; with a growing, expanding insight,

that allows us to push all natural constraints,

and, even as our repeated attempts may fail

at times, often at an incredible toll of human

life, this spirit of God born within us, wakes

our aching souls as it stirs our daunted desires,

inspires our muddled dreams, as we stumble

forward, humbled but wiser.  

                                                                                   

                 FLUID FLUX

 

        There is no constancy,

    only life in fluid flux,

        an ocean of possibilities,

        appearing, being, then

            fading; moments sought

            and then discarded;

     desired briefly, only to be

        repelled - as we in lucid

            stretches intend our destiny

                with passion embraced,

            knowing clarity melds reality;

           some faint semblance of order,

                    yet even in this turmoil

                springs a synergy of faith,

              knowing this continual

           birthing will spawn

constancy -  noun - the quality of being

            enduring and unchanging.

 

flux  - noun – a state of continuous

                      change.

 

God is the energy of creation within the fluid

flux of existence: the thrust that evolves us,

that improves us, that has taken us kicking

and screaming from our dingy cave dwellings

into an existence of continuously more profound

possibility; with a growing, expanding insight,

that allows us to push all natural constraints,

and, even as our repeated attempts may fail

at times, often at an incredible toll of human

life, this spirit of God born within us, wakes

our aching souls as it stirs our daunted desires,

inspires our muddled dreams, as we stumble

forward, humbled but wiser.  

                                                                                   

                 FLUID FLUX

 

        There is no constancy,

    only life in fluid flux,

        an ocean of possibilities,

        appearing, being, then

            fading; moments sought

            and then discarded;

     desired briefly, only to be

        repelled - as we in lucid

            stretches intend our destiny

                with passion embraced,

            knowing clarity melds reality;

           some faint semblance of order,

                    yet even in this turmoil

                springs a synergy of faith,

              knowing this continual

           birthing will spawn

                  a wellspring of new,

                       fragrant life,

                layer upon layer

              of potential being, until

           in moments unexpected,

               it takes form and becomes

                   a resemblance of our

                 most potent yearnings,

                   stark and appealing.
