MULTIPLIER OF GOOD

Let us find our good within this day –

a positive gesture, a child’s glee,

a moment of sweet remembrance,

an expression of gratitude – knowing

at the heart of our existence is the genuine

flow of Divine love.

 

Let us be an active agent of good in this

day, always ready and able to extend

our love to make this life an adventure,

better, brighter, more appealing for

those we encounter along the way –

an accelerator of good.

 

Let us understand fully that with each

breath, every step, the force of good

is the essence of all life – accepting

our responsibility to protect it, nourish

it, grow it, and harvest it in all we do –

being  a multiplier of good in the world

and in this day.

GOD'S GIFT  OF LOVE  

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

existence, all creation. Within love is the spark

of God, connecting, caring, totally immersed

in the beauty and wonder of creation, of all

life becoming.

LOVE  is the elixir of God and under its charm

you and all life will flourish, grow, and reach

full potential.

LOVE is truly all you need – with it, mountains

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

LOVE everything about your life and what you

are seeking to do – love the equipment you use,

the pen in your hand, the notebook you write

into. 

LOVE  the message – love those who read

your work and find a suggestion or an answer.     

LOVE the moment - love the opportunity to be

alive – creating and authentic. 

LOVE  is the solution – love is the answer,

creating an environment of possibility for all

existence – for all creation. Love your obstacles,

love through your issues and problems, love

yourself into success.

LOVE  the positive and even the negative -

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

you when you lead with love. Make your 

first response and last response – love.

Cherish this moment: love the gift

God has given you and all humankind –

the gift of love.

Life is truly a communal undertaking.

An ongoing act of love requiring that  

our art, work, inventions, imaginings,

longings, and even Gods, must be shared 

with our fellow participants. A celebration

of one is more sad than joyous. May your 

creative life sparks set the world ablaze. 

  

THE FIRES WE IGNITE 

As we pound away to form our sincere

impression on life, as we invest

substantial energy leaving our mark,

let us realize what is real and lasting

is the joy, peace, love, and happiness

we have shared with others.

Let our lasting monument be the

generation of these moments of

heaven on earth, as each present

an opportunity for the Divine within

us to connect with the strength

of will between us, making this world

a bit brighter and more livable.

So, as we do every day, let the

sparks fly as our contributions erupt

and take shape, now realizing it is

the fires we ignite and share that

truly provide the warmth and splendor,

the perpetual magnificence of an

earthly heaven.

REPOST FROM AUGUST, 2017

Sometimes I am directed back to something

I missed in my quest or possibly knew but

may have forgotten or overlooked.

 

As a person who suffers from chronic back pain,

resulting from my Lumbar Reconstruction

in 2010, I had what is called a Lumbar

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) procedure

yesterday, where with the use of some very

advanced technology, my pain management

specialists are able to use radiofrequency energy

to disrupt nerve function, so the nerve can no

longer transmit pain. The pain management

team calls it a burn, referring to burning

away the pain-producing nerve for a year

or more.

 

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

lumbar spine treated, and since it significantly

reduced my pain on the right side, I was back

in an operating room with my pain management

team having the left side done.

 

Ann, who sat patiently, but hungry, waiting

during the procedure in the room where I had

been prepped – having had delayed eating lunch

so we could eat together after the procedure,

since I am required to fast for at least six hours

before the treatment.

 

Ann has been with me through three related

procedures leading up to this, two to determine

if this RFA concept would even work. After about

an hour, with the RFA procedure, completed,

I returned to recovery and after another hour,

Ann was driving me to Cracker Barrel for our

very late lunch, and later driving me home.

Ann made sure I was comfortable at home,

since she had to return to work.

 

Although we have Direct TV Sunday Ticket,

our internet has been very slow, so I switched

my internet service to Comcast and had them

install their fastest internet. Bundled with

the internet service for a nominal charge was

the ability to connect one TV to Infinity

programming. So I switched my office TV

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

I decided to subscribe to what I feel is a New

Thought-oriented channel offered by Infinity

called GAIA TV, which offers a plethora

of spiritual programs and related movies.

 

Still a bit groggy from my procedure's calming

medication, I decided to watch something on

my GAIA spiritual channel. I selected a highlighted

movie from around 2011 titled I AM, The Shift

Is About To Hit The Fan produced by Tom

Shadyac, a famed filmmaker of movies like Bruce

Almighty, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Liar Liar,

The Nutty Professor outlining his quest for sanity

in his own life, especially after a serious cycling

concussion, which underscored for him the need

to radically reconceive his life. Below I offer the

You Tube version of The Trailer for the movie.

 

https://youtu.be/H4iArJec58M

 

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

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

to make a visit to the Institute Of  HeartMath

located in Boulder, Colorado, whose electro-

physiology lab has revealed that our EDG

(heart rhythm) physically changes as our

emotions change. Shadyac admitted in a

later interview that he thought the HeartMath

Institute would be too far out, ending up a

quick visit. Instead, it becomes a major part

of the film’s content

 

As I am watching the movie, I am thinking

that this is too familiar, as I remember that

over ten years ago, during one of my train

commutes, I read a book tiled The Intelligent

Heart - Transform Your Life with the Laws

of Love, by David McArthur and his father

Bruce McArthur, who were now on the screen

outlining their research on how the heart

rhythmically responds to our positive emotions

such as love, compassion, kindness – sending

a message to the brain and the body of these

emotional shifts.

 

As with positive emotions, negative ones like

anger, hatred, intolerance, despair, etc. also

are communicated. Based on this research,

the heart is often the first responder, not

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

an external wavelength communicating these

emotional shifts to the world.

 

What the HeartMath research is conveying,

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

center of our emotions rather than our intellect.

Expressing that we are constructed to share and

react to the emotions of others via our hearts

 

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

our chests would heave at the latest fortune or

misfortune on The Hallmark Channel’s series

When Calls The Heart, I had finally convinced

Ann to binge-watch with me, even though she

thought it might be too sad.

 

I turned to her and said tearfully, this is what

the HeartMath research is pointing to our built

in heart-centered, compassionate, and empathetic

response to experiencing joy, or the suffering

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

her eyes saying; thanks!

 

I replied that I thought programs like this touch

our hearts, helping humanity strengthen their

heart muscled based compassion, this loving

response so needed in this modern age.

Ann still has her doubts, but she agreed to

keep watching.

 

So this morning, while meditating on my back

deck, I received the following inspiring guidance

titled Heart Awareness. This sort of  follow-up,

I believe this happens whenever the original spiritual

communication needs some reinforcing – just to

make sure I have not missed “the arranged”

point of it all.   

 

HEART AWARENESS  

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

it is the mind of our feeling life, always beating

a rhythm, circulating the fertile blood and nutrients

of our beingness, expressing what is being felt, or

even about to be felt, within our feelingness,

communicating throughout the body and mind,

as it signals out to the surrounding consciousness,

a heartlight connection, an expression, able to be

clearly perceived by others.

 

Our hearts are beacons of our soul based emotional

expression, acutely attuned to the feeling and life

experience of those around us, connected to us,

throughout the world. As others experience joy

and elation, so too do we share the same rhythmic

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

suffering.

 

Our hearts are our genetic centers of life

connected to our truly evolutionary essence,

leading us to our true survival law – the law of

compassion, empathy, kindness, connectedness –

the realization that through love, we together

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

a world, a universe having the innate biological

framework to step beyond our differences, our

intolerances, our false thinking, and feelings,

embracing that we are hardwired for well-being,

flourishing, love, and contentment – not just

on an individual basis but on a collective basis.

 

Work to strengthen this heart-centered gift,

to evolve personally and as you do collectively –

living by the heart’s rhythms – its grace –

its innate wisdom.

THESE DAYS AFTER CHRISTMAS/ THE CHRIST MEME - A HOLIDAY AFFIRMATIVE THOUGHT INSPIRED BY THE FINDING GOD ON THE TRAIN STORY - QUEST FOR POSITIVE, PERSONAL, AND CONTEMPLATIVE SPIRITUALITY

THESE DAYS AFTER CHRISTMAS –

THE CHRIST MEME

Christmas is a reminder that we are all

capable of a beingness greater than we

often attempt to harness in our day-to-day

lives. In that Bethlehem manger was born

an idea so revolutionary that many of us

continue to struggle with it today.

 

For me, at least, it makes perfect sense that

a Universal God Consciousness would work to  

effect change by altering our attitudes, our

perspectives, our basic logic using a set of

ideas, although often appearing absurd,

remain uniquely contagious and still innately

appealing.

 

Christmas is an annual reminder that we,

as humanity, are capable of more, and we

are the hands and feet of God on earth, quite

capable of grasping our inner divine nature

for the good of all existence: and with faith,

belief, and focused attention, we are able

to cocreate our lives, as well as our communal

destiny, with God.

 

The ultimate good I envision from Christmas,

is our overall continual evolution as a species,

no longer at war with ourselves and each other,

but Christ-like in key respects, realizing our unity,

our common origin and ancestry – living with

tenderness and love.

 

As we throw away the wrapping paper, discarded

boxes, and the leftovers from our annual holiday

feast – let us take some time to unravel the truth

of  this newborn’s message - peace on earth with

goodwill towards men. 

 

As the note below conveys - this Christ Meme

and this Christmas - celebrates the birth of this

profound idea.

 

THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS  

Let us all reflect on and fully

            comprehend the true meaning

 of Christmas – the birth of 

            the profound idea in the infinite

consciousness of all humankind –            

            simply that our capacity to love

is the key to finding heaven on earth.

 

Let us reflect, this Christmas, on

            a simple man who understood

the key to salvation – love –

            and who had the strength

and compassion to face

            the darkness of the world

to bring true light to all of us.

 

Let us carry forth this Christmas

            spirit of love - moving

beyond the gifts and ornaments

            of the season - into

the light of our own divinity!

The note below, titled Pilot Light, is one of my

favorite Holiday messages. Perhaps, the true

meaning of enlightenment is not experiencing

“the light” but instead is being the light itself.

Hopefully, this holiday season will find our

lights shining bright individually and

collectively.

 

THE PILOT LIGHT

Within every heart resides a flame -

a beacon conveying the essence of the

life it lights – a pilot light of passionate

striving – igniting with full vigor when

the path to our destined destination

finds our seeking souls - there and then

illuminating the world.

 

Perhaps, the very message of this festive

holiday season - centered on celebrating

the brightest light ever to exist - even now,

continuing to offer illumination in this often 

too dim world - a light reminding us of our 

true mission, to join the enlightened magic

by pursuing the very human nature needed 

to embolden our own leaping flames.

 

So let us not mistake the "whole" in the true

meaning of holy - reminding each of us

of our true intent - to share our light 

with like-minded souls - and by doing so,

fan the flames of a brighter world.

Is the true gift of Christmas one of possibility,

one of  the potential to be so much more than

we now manifest in our often struggling human

race. The note below proclaims this to be so,

offering us three gifts, that if properly received

would truly bring us all great joy. 

 

THE THREE GIFTS

In this season of love and wonder, we are offered

the gift of joy – a moment to step from behind our

expectations and gaze at the limitless possibilities

of a world focused on peace and goodwill for all.

In this season of hope and promise, we are offered

the gift of renewal - an opportunity to leave behind

the shards of guilt, regret, or despair still piercing

our more worthy self-perception, enabling a fresh

start to flourish, find its stride, and take flight.

In this season of light and sound, we are offered

the gift of clear perception, a glimpse of the lasting

and loving connection between all living entities –

a chance to hum the jubilant melody of life in full

and everlasting harmony.

LOVE IS THE GATEWAY 

Love is the gateway to enlightenment - 

love is the only way to God –

love is the power of all connection –

it is the seeing of the Divine in all life –

all existence – love is the essence of God

and without love, enlightenment is only

a bright light, without passion, without joy,

without substance.

 

Love requires that the ego be left at the gate –

personal desire stripped away – the shedding

of past and future, leaving only a bursting

emotion of caring, kindness, respect, and

admiration – a realization of oneness –

seeing your face in every face - it is the

desire to worship the perfection of life –

to understand the essential connection.

 

Love of child, family, community, or world

emanates from an overwhelming desire to

nurture, to protect, develop, flourish,

to breathe life into all you come in contact

with – it is truly understanding the nature

of God and God’s love for all creation.

Love like God loves to truly connect with God.

 

Love is ingrained and sewn into every cell

of your being – move towards the light,

and you will find yourself worthy of love;

humankind worthy and in need of love, 

and eventually, see through the loving eyes

of God – a force of love – boundless – infinite –

without limit overflowing with love for all.

 

The light you will see in the light

of pure God love radiating to all from all.

See the love, feel the love, be the love.

I have decided to present a few Meditative Notes

I have recorded that directly refers to Jesus or Christ

or Christ Consciousness. I am always working on

learning from the teachings and life of Jesus as Christ,

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

 

I do believe Jesus was one of the most highly evolved

spiritual beings who have ever lived, and his life 

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

we move towards enlightenment.

 

New Thought often refers to the Divinity that we all

have within us as Christ Consciousness or the Inner

Christ. As we develop spiritually, we connect with

this consciousness, seeing the world as the

enlightened Christ. The following Meditation

Guidance focuses on a key component of this

way or path – Love.

                         

THE PATH TO CHRIST

Follow the path to Christ – through Christ –

with Christ – to the consciousness of Christ.

You are on the Crystal Path to the clarity of

consciousness – to pure connection with God

and man.

 

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

times you will become confused and go off

course – even become lost. Follow the path

to Christ consciousness – do not be afraid –

do not despair, for God is with you for each

step.

 

Fill your heart with love – overflowing with love

for all creation as you turn off the constant manic

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

knowing your experiences today is part of the

divine order and the flow of your existence.

 

Love yourself and your perfection, your glorious

opportunity to experience the whole and abundant

life. Breathe out your negative, self-critical thought

and breathe in your splendor – your magnificence –

your wonder.

 

Loving yourself  - prepare to move forward -

freeing yourself from the details of the day.

Understand the illusion, you're often misguided

and unfounded interpretation of this thing you

call reality.

 

Remember, on the path, the reality you experience

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

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

you view it through the convoluted lens of your ego

and see the magnificence of the journey and the joy

of moving on the path.

 

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

I have come to realize that true love is not 

superficial, true love enables us to love

through the imperfections, through the

flaws and see the true divine perfection 

we each possess within. 

  

Ann, my wife, has taught me more about

love than any guru or meditation guidance 

I have ever encountered.  I often bragged

that I had never had an operation or even

really been in the hospital for any major

issue.

 

Since this bold claim, I have had four major

surgeries, starting with a reconstruction of

my cervical spine, then the resection of a

pituitary brain tumor followed up with the

reconstruction of my lumbar spine, then

a quadruple bypass to top it off a year later.

 

Ann has waited through over thirty plus

hours of surgery, countless hours in intensive

care, helping me recuperate and live on

from each. And although I now walk like a

combination of Groucho Marx and Frankenstein,

while hearing just a bit better than the elder

Beethoven, I am still loved.

  

I wrote this Valentine's note below for Ann.

I hope it also helps you acknowledge and

honor all those who have loved you through,

and continue to love you, warts and all:

spouses, lovers, partners,friends, parents,

kids, and caregivers who continue to see

the perfect you through the imperfections

of this life. 

 

FOR LOVING ME

Thank you for loving me through times

of fear, concern, and struggle – always

at my side to console, to support, to carry

me, to find a way to calm my trembling

spirit simply by taking my hand and

forging onward.

 

Thank you for loving me, even when

I fail to love myself, as you gently hold

a mirror to my true nature so I can see

the truth of who I truly am and what

I have to offer – for showing me, the me

you love, so I understand my worth, my value.

 

Thank you for loving me, and picking

up my tired soul so I can see the life

left to live; and by grasping your eternal

strength, your perpetual hope, forge on

towards better days, to thrive and flourish

again, always safe within your loving gaze. 

 

Thank you for loving me!

When we approach our lives with loving-kindness

do we light up the world, as the Affirmative

Thought below suggests? I think we do, and we

also light up our lives. But let’s be honest, it takes

a great deal of effort, at times, to focus our ego-driven

minds in this direction. This is possibly the reason

the Kabbalists and Buddhists have made loving-kindness

the centerpiece of enlightenment. Let us not forget

Christianity is based on the love and kindness

focus of Jesus.

                  

LIGHT UP THE WORLD

Light up the world today with your love,

                  kindness, and compassion; 

  the world will love you back tenfold

                  as you open up the loving essence

     of the universe.

Light up the world today with simple

                  acts of kindness and compassion,

   showing the universe and all you meet,

                  your Divine nature, full of loving-kindness.

Light up the world today by transforming

                  your conflicts with others using

a new mindset based on love and caring.

                  Love your problems, and by doing so,

     dissolve your problems.

Light up the world today with love, compassion,

                  and kindness for yourself –

   fully encouraging and supporting your actions,

            allowing yourself to become your

     authentic self.                 

Light up the world today with love, and

                     notice how you and the universe shine!

POEM G. 8.152013

 

HEART-TO-HEART CONNECTION

In order to build ourselves, to nourish and

expand, we must encourage our positive

emotions, as positive beings these emotions

will fuel our transformation, our broadening

consciousness.

 

Kindness, compassion, empathy, sympathy,

heart-to-heart connection, present in even the

of our understanding of our essential kinship,

our combined genetic origin, the initial

primordial communal animation.

with others you share this life with, be tender,

watchful not to upset, or harm, or neglect,

capable of being touching and loving, living

with a capacity of empathy, sensitivity,

and caring.

 

Be tender, do not expect more than you

can give, more than you can live, understand

the complexity of conscious existence and

become its champion through tender action.

 

Be tender, reach out into this life with softness,

meek in action, with a deep regard for all who

co-inhabit existence, let go of the negative,

the critical, the self-righteous.

 

Be tender, allowing kindness and compassion

to proceed as the first reaction, the lasting

tribute of your existence.

Both of these Affirmative Thoughts below

serve as a reminder that this enlightenment

we are seeking, does not need to be sought

in the external world, but rather is actually

self-possessed, described as “perfect

splendor resting beneath,” needing only

to be spiritually excavated.

 

This guidance appears to offer three steps.

Step one, is to be sure we are truly awake

and aware. Step two, prepare the way

through right thinking. The third step

is to reach out earnestly.

 

AWAKE AND AWARE

Let us wake to the full potential of our lives,

knowing we now have the ingredients

for complete, profound happiness and joy,

here and now, within our existing lives –

perfect splendor resting beneath

the sound and fury of our daily pursuits.

 

Let us first vow to live each day awake

and aware, by moving within the day,  

experiencing its flow, its rhythm, its

momentum, allowing ourselves to give

up forcing it to our wills, but rather

comprehending its true nature, listening

for its melody, seeking its harmony,

adjusting as warranted. 

 

Let us seek to observe rather than comment,

criticize, or command; seeing more deeply,

experiencing more profoundly, listening

more intently; refusing to be lost,

or untouched by the moment: knowing

each unfolding scene is a slice of life

requiring our complete involvement

and participation; our prize for staying

awake and aware.

THIS DAY

Let us approach this day

    with a clear mind and heart –

willing to prospect and mine

    each single mindful moment

    for the truths revealed; touching

with reverence every gem encountered.

 

Let us allow the flow of life

    to emerge clear and present –

to provide the motion and current

    needed to propel our forward

    motion, our potential progress,

our waiting destiny.

 

Let us not be impeded by fault

    or fiction or inner turmoil,

but instead approach this day

    ready to thrive, to soar,

    to become a clearer vision

of our truth personified,

to reach out earnestly for joy,

peace, love, and complete happiness.

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.

FOR WHAT WE WISH TO CHANGE

 

Realize all we see, touch, experience,

or do, represents the culmination of our

desires made manifest, made tangible,

given form, by our creative souls - so this

life, our life now – is a vision of life

propelled into being by our heartfelt

dreams, called forth by our prayers.

 

For all we love about our current lives,

let us affirm it, establish its continued

existence - for what we wish to change,

to alter, or to refashion – let us love

it even more, and from this base

of active love, work to recreate it

into new form, revised, refreshed –

better aligned with our current

dreams.

 

Today let us fully understand -

we need to love what we have,

in order to get what we want!

For nothing springs from discord

or distaste – no seed grows in a

barren garden, so with love as  the

soil and water of full creation –

align today through love and watch

the sprouts of your desire appear,

thrive, and complete your garden.

BEST FRIENDS FOREVER

 

Let us strive to be our own best friend

today, reaching out to ourselves with

a sense of compassion, cheering ourselves

on when we excel or persevere under difficult

conditions, kindly reminding ourselves

of our potential when we do not.

 

Like a friend, let us avoid pushing ourselves

when we are tired or stressed, realizing our

mental, physical, and spiritual balance hinges

on finding a sensible approach to all we feel

we must accomplish.

 

So let us avoid negative, critical, or harsh

self-talk, and instead, like a caring friend,

let us be benevolent in our own self-appraisal,

reaching out to encourage, motivate, and

invigorate ourselves through positive

reflection and compassionate reinforcement.

If it is the truth that what we expect

will appear in our lives, why not set

the day with worthy intentions.

Why do we dismiss the note below as

unrealistic? Why are we conditioned

to expect the worst, or at least a

struggle? Why do we give away our

lives to our own negativity?

 

When I was deciding what to post

today, coming across this note

from 2012 titled Nothing But,  

my mind reacted as we are all

hardwired to do, thinking,

“it’s not possible because my day

is going to be a struggle, I’ll  be

lucky to do half of what I need

to do.” But then, a still small

voice chimed in, saying,

“why not.”

 

NOTHING BUT

 

Let us carry nothing into this day

    but joy – unbridled joy – refusing

to accept any other emotion – any

    other sentiment  - knowing this is

what we were created to experience –

    deserve to feel, are worthy of feeling.

 

Let us carry nothing into this day

    but peace – lasting and enduring

peace – the perfect peace our souls

    desire – knowing this is what we were

created to experience – deserve to feel,

    are worthy of feeling.

 

Let us carry nothing into this day

    but joy and peace adding to it a

full measure of love for life, ourselves,

    and others – an enduring love –

a compassionate love, full of kindness

    and the desire for the best for all.

 

Let us carry joy, peace, and love

    into this day knowing happiness

will not be far behind.
