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 identity, 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 maybe

all we desire at the moment, our existing connection

with God fitting our actual needs, not requiring any

further stretching or expanding our perspective.

 

I guess the question requiring some attention

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

what are we seeking to achieve with our spiritual

quest? And 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 no such a 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.

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.

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 co-created –

with your manifested abundance.

CREATIVE GOD

We are part and parcel of an evolving, creative

God consciousness, thrusting existence beyond

its apparent constraints into an intersection

with the greater good, the greater being, the greater

presence - fuller and more vital than the proceeding

moments – more vibrant and prepared to thrive.

 

Our creative God nature is the fabric and the

infrastructure of our very vibrancy, our aliveness,

offering us an approach to on-going and frequent

evolution, encouraging us, prodding us, and at

times hurling us forward into an orbit of success -  

producing quantum leaps of growth and being.

 

It is our responsibility to perceive and coalesce

with God’s infinite vision of growth, to assist

and never hamper this energy of creation,

one with and not at odds with our own possibility,

our flowering potential – contributing to the

momentum, enlivening the action, fostering

the evolution and exultation of all.

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.

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.

WHAT IF ?

There is a strong tendency for the followers

to build an expectation of the followed.

There is a strong desire to want super

powers 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 - 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. 

 

So, 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 a number

of related notes that have followed and

support a similar line of reasoning.

 

So, this initial note below offers a frame-

work 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.

 

In 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. 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 own intention, fed by, gaining strength

from, and finally given substance to by the

fearful cries and pleas of a early humanness –

earth’s original inhabitants - daily facing

a stark existence in a new world; as their

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 own

salvation, an emerging God, a collective

universal consciousness, that finds reason,

intention, purpose, and offers 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, 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.

FACETS OF LIFE/LIGHT 

The gem of life offers

            distinct facets of light,

hold it in contemplation,

            examine its flashes and shards;

 splashes of light,

                        chips of light,

                                    tossing the senses

                        to and fro,

    with clarity,

then explosions,

            then reflective wonder:

know this is the very

            nature of God’s scintillation,

present in every intimate

            and minute detail,

an orchestrated marvel,

            a dance of divine illumination -

                                    focus as you will;

fully recognize that

            each delicate spark conveys

                        one note of a more

magnificent image –

            a truth reflected.

There are times when I receive a note,

such as the one below, which I am

pushed to convey as if someone is

waiting for it's message. Since I have

nothing of significance, I might offer

by way of further comment, I will step

back and allow the tangible sentiment

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.

JESUS AS CHRIST

Through love, Jesus obtained the power of God

and became Christ. As Christ, he used this power

to overcome death and manifested a force of love

so powerful it moved through infinite space and time

and changed all creation. This power of love, existing

for all of us throughout the ages is called salvation.

 

Jesus as Christ – showing us the way to God with

the power of this love connection has become

the savior of humankind – his power always present –

always available – his path always available for us

to follow.

 

Jesus as Christ who obtained the power of God

manifested rebirth and overcame the physical

limitations of the body – moving beyond

the limitations of human thought to the divine 

thought of God, where regeneration and rebirth

are divinely possible and plausible.

 

Jesus as Christ, with the power of God, obtained

through love, is God’s gift to all humankind – God

revealing through Christ the true power available

for man – infinite power built on faith through love.

Infinite power to create heaven here on earth,

if we can understand the way, the path

through God.

 

Jesus as Christ guided us that the way to God

is through love and a personal connection with God;

with infinite divine love. Just as he did, we have

the ability to become God-like by obtaining the power

of God through love.

 

Jesus as Christ is God showing us the way to God,  

highlighting our ability, through love and a connection

with God – of  overcoming the limitations of the human

mind – the power to evolve to our rightful status as the

true sons and daughters of God.

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.

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.

OUR MOMENT TO SOAR

Let us wake today translucent,

            abundant, a beacon of possibility

and clear intention, knowing the way

            is prepared and set for our ascent

to a more prosperous, purposeful,

            existence.

 

This is our moment to soar,

constraints and ties that inhibit

            our full flight: like the buoyant

beings we are, let us lift above

            and beyond to our greater good,

our waiting magnificence.

 

Feel the creative power and energy

fires your enthusiasm, propels your

            waiting good fortune, know here and

now that your belief and faith empowers

            the evolution of all.  

AT G. 6.2.2018

  

As you read the note above, what would

need to change to make these words ring

true in your life? What constraints and

ties inhibit your full flight, now, today?

 

In our pursuit of living, we often overlook

that God is the creative force in the universe,

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

capacity, our full potential, our rightful

evolution. God is not the obstacle, but  

the full force of good focused and prepared.

the voice I yearn to hear

floats no longer in the

silence – but is silent –

and with it my connection

to serenity, grace, life itself.

I have been here before

with no voice – no guidance,

lost in the dark, treacherous

woods of my mind – angry –

dismal – stumbling my

way, searching for the

divine light lost for now.

 

POEM G. 6.29.2011

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, 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 Story blog

content I share and publish.

 

I have realized it is God that is at work in

my life. I believe God is the very catalyst

for all inspiration, innovation, and creative

becoming: the evolutionary energy behind

all existence. Try as I will to remain firm

and fixed in my very comfortable place:

God will provide me with a new perspective

and fresh way of seeing I am powerless

to ignore.

  

FRESH EYES

 

Seeing with fresh eyes a new and more pertinent

vision, a reforming Gestalt snapping into place,

taking the first sustained breath, awakening

the sensibilities with a conceptual surprise,

potent, worthy, ready to thrive.

 

It is this process of conceptual rebirth that is

needed when every point of access is confused,

hampered, made faint and fuzzy by doubt,

often embodying our inept confusion and lack

of clarity, with the fog of change inhibiting our

forward progress.

 

Ruminate, contemplate, take stock of all included

or neglected, allowing the 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.

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.

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;

realizing this personifications entails - a focus 

individually and collectively, on expanding

the parameters of all life.

 

Grow with diligence!

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.

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. 

Your thoughts?

                 

TRUE GOD QUALITIES

 

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.

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.

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.

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.

AN OPEN MIND

 

Today embark on this journey with

    an open mind and a compassionate

heart, knowing your contribution

    is the essential ingredient needed

to give meaning to its unfolding –

    to provide a fresh loving perspective.

 

Today embark on this journey with

    energy and enthusiasm committed to

going the extra mile, fully attentive

    to the opportunities and possibilities,

aware that you are the key to the full

    potential of this experience –

the final touch – the secret ingredient.

 

Today embark on this journey open

    to the lessons and learning waiting

to be discovered, not as an observer,

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. 

 

POEM G. 8.6.2017 

 

WITH LOVE, G.

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.

 

WITH LOVE, G.

I believe, just beneath the drone of our

endless mind chatter, exists the inspired

voices of our divine guides and teachers,

who along with God itself, all sincerely

attempt to reach us, like coaches and

parents on the sidelines at a little league

game, earnestly trying to get our attention,

hoping to impart not only well meaning,

but sincerely needed, advice and guidance.

 

Yes, I believe the user manual for our

existence comes with audio, along with

our own coaches, if we will believe and

listen. Since I spent most of my life

missing this point, I now carefully

document what I consider the inspired

guidance I receive and publish it here

on the blog. To accomplish this, all we

must do is prayerfully ask for assistance

and listen.

 

DIVINE INSPIRATION

 

Stand firm in your convictions; undaunted

by the opinions, advice, or well meaning

guidance of others; know even when life

seems most confusing, divine inspiration

will lead you, carefully, to the destiny

that waits.

 

Proceed with confidence, surefooted

and full balanced, aware that your

preparation, intense and sincere,

will see you above and beyond

any roadblock, any challenge,

any distress.

 

With a clear heart and a focused mind,

appropriately aligned to receive what

has been prepared for you, allow

the universe to deliver your good fortune,

realizing the bounty will be plentiful,

the timing impeccable, the potential,

unlimited.

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?

As Ann was preparing to fill her jury duty obligation

this morning, I wrote the note below to remind her,

and all of us, who are often required in life to do

what we do not wish or want to do, that God

exists and can be found in the mundane as well

as the majestic. Often it is in these moments

that God needs us most to be the secret ingredient -

the final touch.
