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, be heart-focused,

and it is possible to hear the sounds of aware

life expressing, listening even more completely

and the messages will find expression within

and through you, as they 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.

It is Sunday night, after watching a Hallmark

“Christmas in July” movie, Ann grabs the

remote and says, "let’s check with CNN and

see what happened today," fully expecting

and hoping for an uneventful news cycle.

 

Before I could say - ok, or please no - I was

watching the gruesome news that three

Baton Rouge police officers had been shot

and killed earlier in the day - assassinated

while responding to a bogus call from an

out of state attacker, with at least three

other officers seriously injured.

 

The conclusion to one of the worst weeks

of carnage I can remember in my lifetime,

a week full of terrorism, racial hatred,

political unrest, and just plain madness.

Quite frankly, our world was unraveling.

 

So, I wake Monday morning and meditate,

asking for guidance on how I, we, all of us

might constructively respond to, approach,

and hopefully, eventually, circumvent this

ongoing pattern of daily disaster.

 

The response, listed below, titled Wrong

Reflection at first seems clearly escapist,

but after some consideration, I realize

our current fixation with violence in all

forms, as well as the anger, hatred, and

institutionalized meanness, requires a

radical reconceiving, at least on the

spiritual level, hopefully helping us to

stop attracting and perpetuating our own

madness. It is time, I believe, for a new

vision, a more purified reflection: a world

of sanity rather than violent extremes –

a world worthy of refection.

 

WRONG REFLECTION

Look away, divert your focus,

refusing to entertain the tragic

consequences of the ,wrong reflection,

the work of madness given form

by frequent rumination, refusing

to speculate on the ways and means

for fixing what is broken, and instead,

reflect actively on what is desirable,

positive, worthy and valuable: stepping

within this vision, clarifying even

the minutest detail, feel the refreshing

breeze of hope, of compassion, empathy

returned; letting it surround you, flush

through you, breathe it in until you are

one with it; know this conscious vision

will, slowly, erase the despair, when

held in unison with all those who choose

harmony, peace, and compassion –

forthrightness; look away, divert

the focus, each and every time it hurts

your soul; look away and within until

this shared vision takes tangible form;

until kindness resurfaces one magical

moment at a time, until, like a wave,

a new presence forms, restores, and

revitalizes this existence, this life.

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.

FULLER LIFE

 

Fuller life is what you seek and is the essence of all

struggle and movement on this earth. Fuller life

is not more of what you have but is conceiving and

seeing what exists around you.

 

What is your heaven on earth? Would you recognize

it if it appears? Heaven is being one with life – living

in full enthusiasm – loving abundantly and becoming

your authentic self. The squirrel moving across

the lawn is not divided within itself – it has one

purpose – live life to its fullest – pushing boundaries

at times – taking risks but being a squirrel.

 

Being fully you – is authentic life – not the you

of your parent's dreams or your lover's desires-

but the you God has empowered you to be. Move

back to this and start exploring from there.

This is the you of your talents, your ability, your

dreams. What impedes progress towards being

fully you?

 

Every day we are presented with a life of our past -

created from our past desires: learn to live and

accept it - to flow with it - and see its place.

THE QUEST

 

We are each on a spiritual journey, both individual

and solitary, in search and pursuit of our own

divinity – the God who lives within us – the God

we are and will always be. Each life we encounter

along the way is involved in this becoming - whether

realized or unaware.

 

It is your spiritual mission to allow this journey to

unfold within you as your divinity within – deep

within – pushes you towards the fresh breath

of new life – maneuvering your soul through

the illusion, the fears, the doubts, the ego’s dreams –

and even at times –  resuscitating the divine you,

pounding on your chest until a heartbeat appears

and a gasp of consciousness is surrendered.

 

This awakening is not easy – it requires the

resolution of the conflicting voices in your mind –

the demons of your own journey to be faced and

overcome in the effort to create a sort of symbiotic

coexistence in a united attempt to reveal your own

identity and evolve. This divine becoming requires

the courage to risk all of life for the essence of true

life – to die to be reborn anew – personally evolved

and one with God.

 

God truly waits within for you to arrive.

FULL PROSPERITY

 

Prosper and find the full wonder of existence.

Prosper in all you think, feel, and do.

Prosper in your job, at home, and in the world.

Prosper spiritually, physically, and emotionally.

Prosper and reap the full bounty of the

abundance of your life.

 

When you prosper you are in a state of continual

grace – receiving always more than you need –

more today than yesterday. Prosperity is a state

of growth, positive creation, and getting more

than expected while always moving forward.

 

Prepare yourself for full prosperity. The first step

is to believe – believe that you are worthy, deserving 

and fully ready for prosperity. Look for, search out, 

reflect on, and visualize the prosperity that

surrounds you. List and meditate on how you are

prospering.

 

Prosperity requires the full alignment of your

conscious thoughts, expectations, and emotions

focused through prayer, affirmations, and

meditations. When you are thriving and growing

in a positive direction you are prospering. Feel 

prosperous – feel the prosperity.

 

To prosper is to move forward with the world in

positive alignment, supporting your wants, and

growing on the foundation of your current

existence. It is an explosion of grace, a continual

gift of growth and good fortune.

 

Prosper spiritually and move closer to the path 

where you are in alignment and true harmony

with your authentic self. Feel the growth and

rejoice.

 

Prosperity is now – here – walk around the corner

and claim it.

Book Three of The Finding God On The Train Story

series focuses on exploring the human soul and how

it relates to and interacts with God Consciousness.

The note below, aptly titled Personal Consciousness,

takes us deep into this relationship and provides

guidance on how we can reveal and expand this

divine connectivity.  

 

PERSONAL CONSCIOUSNESS

 

Before the beginning, there was only

God Consciousness – Universal Consciousness -

where now your Personal Consciousness exists

as a bubble of viable, evolving intention, allowing

the life as you know it to exist and be experienced 

within -  giving it tangible form and solidity –

forming it, expanding it into the existence

you now are aware of and accept.

 

Personal Consciousness is protected within

the sea of God Consciousness – receiving

nourishment, guidance, and inspiration, yet,

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

or without God connection.

 

Personal Consciousness expands or contracts

to match individual desires, conception, or

intention. At the same time, it is the pathway

or portal to the interconnectivity of Universal

Consciousness with the ability to connect to the

collective creative power of all who exist or who

have ever existed.

 

During meditation and prayer allow yourself

to experience and journey within your Personal

Consciousness – expanding your vision –

revealing the true center of your existence –

push towards knowing how you exist within

the sea of God Consciousness – allowing the

edges to fade – the boundaries to disappear

until you feel God wash over you – feel

the sincerity of pure love enfold you – and

from this point work on strengthening

this conceptual connection until you touch

the true center of gravity.

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.

There are times when the evil that surrounds us 

 

is incomprehensible; we are surely experiencing 

 

one of these times. That it is being done in the

 

name of God is just unfathomable.

 

As the note, I share below reminds, a meme

of evil has gained a foothold, as our global

culture has chosen to promote all things dark

and destructive as entertainment, our cultural

pastimes.

 

Although, we cannot personally stop these

random acts of global madness, perhaps

we can set in motion a new  focus, a viable

consciousness - a more wholesome and

worthy perspective.  

 

THIS MEME OF EVIL

 

It is the idea of evil, the intent of evil that surfaces

and finds a place in the collective consciousness.

It is this meme of evil, active, evolving, flourishing

that forms the presence of turmoil, destitution,

avarice, heartlessness – only by grabbing hold

of the content of consciousness can we counteract

its forming and reforming, its gaining power and

presence.  We each must resolve to think it into

diminishment, starting with our own mind control.

 

This meme of evil has gained a foothold, and at

times, an upper hand in this life. What we must

realize is that humanity is the generating force

of this dark, destructive meme, forged by lifetimes 

of fostering inhumanity and greed.

 

Today we feed the preservation of evil by opening

our psyches and our souls to a daily feeding of

media based demise, criminality, hatred, and

fictional homicide. Our culture is what now

represents us, and it is often dark and menacing,

brutal, unthinkable. The meme of evil thrives 

in our world of intolerance, hatred, and 

hopelessness.

 

We must consider, each of us, making it our

mission to reorder our thoughts and lives, basing

our efforts on the expansion of good, well-being,

thriving, hope: turning the tide – restoring 

a consciousness of good, for all.

EVER EVOLVING WHOLE 

We are each the individual expressions of an

ever evolving whole, creating and becoming,

forming new the energy of an expanding 

consciousness, breathing each breath –

formless – faceless but alive – always striving –

always conceiving – always being more.

 

Our acts of individual creation nourish

the whole - pushing our boundaries and

the limits of the whole. The power of this

creative force is love – the love of the

initiative – of boundlessness forever

reforming, multiplying the collective 

energy of all humankind – all existing life.

 

We are truly the living spirit of conscious-

ness – bursting forth in an infinite variety

of magnificence. We are one and living in

this whole – the true living spirit of God.

 PATIENT PROGRESS

 

Our best effort comes through patient progress,

calm and sincere activity directed at the goal

but not dependent on a schedule or fixed

expectation, knowing this unfolding is a state

of continuous awareness, reflection, and inner

growth, a consciousness forming and reaffirming

with each step forward.

 

Often, we fixate on the merits of the immediate,

the do it now; over and done with; complete;

finished; final; ready-aim-fire, hoping this speed,

this instantaneous result will ensure success.

But what is the operating cost of the rushed

as opposed to the relaxed, the contemplative,

the quietly allowed to evolve?

 

This move to patient progress will require a fresh

paradigm of achievement, success, and winning:

a realization that full accomplishment needs

complete immersion in the doing, allowing God

and truth to provide the guidance, insight, and

inspiration – to reveal a more complete and

worthy outcome.

It has taken 13.7 billion years to create us;

the existing vanguard of conscious existence;

we must be sure to fully comprehend our

relevance; our essential nature in the

amplification of all existence; we the

pinnacle of sentient, conscious creation;

separate yet indivisible: the current medium

of all that is.

 

WE ARE THE MEDIUM

 

Worth, value, the essence of the meaning

or importance we attach to each aspect of

this life is presently determined by the value

of replacement, often failing to realize even

a moment of our conscious existence is beyond

value, irreplaceable, life in real time, a sliver

is infinite and finite at the same time, like one

frame of a film, a nanosecond projected on

screens of consciousness within our minds,

the three-dimensional backdrop of each passing

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

presence; we are the medium giving dimension

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

representation of what is outside of us, fooled

into believing the distinction - when all is part

and parcel of even a fuller more encompassing

consciousness: the unity, the all that is.

There are periods when I find it difficult 

to connect with my divine guidance; when

this occurs it usually takes me some effort

to determine what I am doing to impede

the process. I  have been in such a period

recently.  During these periods I do receive

direction, like I did this morning, when

my journal opened to the note below

and I felt compelled to read it, and publish

it on the blog.

 

As a musician, I realize the significance

of silences created by the composer,

instrumentalist, or improviser in a piece

of music; referred to as the “rests” –

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

a whole rest – designated portions

of time equivalent to the actual played

note lengths, where there is silence;

no sound is to exist. Of course, without

silence, there is no music, only a drone

of a fluctuating sound.

 

Perhaps, I am to understand and utilize

these periods of  divine “rest” or silence,

to listen to the eternal voice of the being

that exists, always within me, the message

and guidance of my own soul or divine-self.

 

WITHIN THE SPACES

 

Live within the spaces of consciousness,

between the overlap of spheres of influence,

space between the concentric circles.

Movement between the spheres is doable

after detachment from the fixed state of

personal consciousness. It is in the spaces,

the silences, between words, thoughts, ideas,

expressions – where the true genius exists.

The divine resides within the spaces, providing

the fabric of consciousness. Spaces between

the breaths, between the tones. Travel the

silent spaces.

 

Live within the spaces of existence, between

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

to erupt from the spaces. Listen to the voice

of eternal being within you, the message is

soft and appealing, one of unity – furtherance –

and continual transcendence. Listen to the voice,

the message so fragrant, it enlivens every cell.

 

Live today within the spaces – feel the presence,

the true peace. Stop thinking, feel it instead,

truly encounter the true amniotic fluid –

the moist substance of eternal destiny – here

for a brief moment before moving onto more

pertinent being – an existence framed in more

expansive consciousness, yet know your life –

this life, and all its wonder and expansiveness,

is the true test – the epic adventure forcing

all who participate to develop, evolve and

eventually transcend.

My wife, Ann, and I often inhabit similar mental

states at the same time - this is especially true

when we both become confused about  our lives,

our careers, or how to approach a particular

issue. 

 

Ann has been confused about whether

to retire or not, so we could live permanently

in our house in the mountains of western

Virginia, rather then just visit on the weekends. 

 

I transcribed the Affirmative Thought below 

titled Confusion Into Clarity for Ann late

last week. which reminds us all that confusion

is a natural part of the solution process - and

that from this confusion comes clarity.

 

Honestly, my confusion started with how

to best approach writing Chapter 12 of

Finding God On The Train - The Book, 

which manifested itself in four different

approaches. The confusion has evolved

into what I would call "turmoil" about 

the whole project - with me questioning

whether I have  lost the direction, or 

passion needed to go on. 

 

These bouts are not new for me, and begin,

usually, when I find the "still small whispered

voice" very silent for a period of time -  periods

of draught, as I call them. After a long period

of prayer and meditation last week, I received

the Meditation Guidance below titled Storm

Of The Soul.

 

As a result, I am back on track, listening, and

working through my malaise. Of course,

I would like to pretend that I am above this

sort of thing, but it  would not be true or

realistic. 

 

I have paired these two messages because

they are related, seeming to address

a similar root solution - listening to our own

inner, guidance for direction. They also  

underscore the importance of confusion

and turmoil in our evolving and growing.

 

     CONFUSION INTO CLARITY

 

Often we must enter into confusion

   in order to find clarity – experiencing

the conflicting thoughts and emotions –

  sifting through the endless fears

  and doubts – wishing for light as

we knock about in the darkness.

 

Often in the confusion, we must make

   our home for a while, knowing within

the cyclone - all potential approaches

   can be considered – all alternatives

   presented – all futures tried on

for size and evaluated – all emotions

            aired and given attention.

 

Often in the confusion we are

   strengthened – we awake again

to what is of value to our existence,

   wipe our tears, find our clarity,

then forge on towards our renewal.

 

AT G. 3.23.2011

  

 STORM OF THE SOUL

 

Listen to the turmoil – hear what it has to say

to you – understand its messages – decipher its

intent for it is a living thing waiting to be heard,

waiting for its turn, waiting for its ascension –

its anointing with the oil of your focus.

 

Listen to the turmoil – go within the mental

confusion, feel the cyclone of emotions and

desires swirl around and into your awareness.

This is a storm of the soul and it must be

experienced; assimilated, fully lived in order

to proceed on. Let it rage – accept its commotion

as a sign of deliverance, as a new beginning 

 forming in chaos.

 

Listen to the turmoil within – let it have its way

with you – let the ground of your consciousness

shake until it cracks, severs, and lets go of its 

 creation within – bursting forth a new vision –

a new thought – a new way of living and proceeding.

 

Listen to the turmoil within and it will make you

whole - complete – evolving your consciousness

to a clarity of being – a return to wholeness,

oneness, and tranquility.

My life is centered around connecting with

God, recording this divinely inspired guidance,

sharing it on my media sites and, when appropriate,

incorporating it into the book series.

 

 As with all seekers, there are times when the

"still small voice" is silent and I have learned

to take it in stride, looking for inspiration 

elsewhere, except when the silence lasts too

long in my opinion. 

 

I have experienced such a meditation guidance 

dry spell in the past few weeks, and I started

wondering is this it, have I received in the past

five years all that I was intended to receive.  

Day after day I have prayed and meditated,

but no still small voice, just silence.

 

Last night, before going to sleep, I prayed

and asked if there is more, is there a next step,

a next level that I should be focusing on - 

perhaps another book series? Basically, a very

timid and respectful - what's up with the silence?

 

This morning, as I started to meditate, the first

sentence of the guidance below came to me over

and over in a louder and firmer voice than usual - 

"be the enlightenment you wish to see in the

world."

 

The words kept coming, line after line, so after

ten minutes I ended the mediation and began

transcribing what I was hearing in my head

into my journal, resulting in the guidance

below tilted,  Spiritual Activism. 

 

After rereading and reflecting on this guidance,

I believe this message is pointing to the next step

on the crystal path, a challenge for me, and possibly 

all of us, to step out of the theoretical zone, moving 

beyond the comfort zone and into true spiritual

activism. 

 

I believe God is clearly indicating that I have been

given the message, and that now it is the time for

me to live the message. Your thoughts?

 

SPIRITUAL ACTIVISM

  

Be the enlightenment you wish to see in the world,

be heaven on earth, demonstrate and be the joy, 

peace, love, and happiness in tangible living form –

be the hands and feet of God in the pursuit of

spiritual transformation – change the consciousness

by being the consciousness you desire to manifest

through the world.

 

Be the enlightenment and actively step out one

significant step at a time to be joy in the world,

creating joy, exhibiting joy, overcoming someone

with a sense of joy, being in each action the joy

you wish to bring to the world. Create joy.

 

Be the enlightenment by finding your own peace

within as you work to establish peace in your home,

with your family, in your community – pushing the

world – your world into peace through being a living

example of peace. Create peace by committing to at

least one peaceful action per day.

 

Be the enlightenment you wish to see in  the world,

the heaven on earth by loving without bounds,

without limits, through tangible acts of love and

kindness, broaden a smile into a gesture of love,

make room for loving yourself and commit to

spreading it to others  knowing you are connected

to all you see – love as God  loves without

qualification or expectation. Create love.

 

Be the enlightenment in action – in thought, word,

and deed until the happiness you seek  is the

happiness you give. Let others know the source of

your happiness, the bliss of a life formed in faith and

connected with God, let them know that God wants

them to be happy by creating happiness for others who

are struggling or need assistance. Create happiness.  

 

Be a spiritual activist moving the concept of heaven

on earth into the reality of heaven on earth for the

world you inhabit – for your life and the lives of

those around you  - reaching out beyond to all who

would benefit from your efforts. Create heaven on

earth for all!

As I write Book Three of the Finding God On The

Story series, to be titled God Consciousness And

The Divinity Within,  I have spent hours reading

and rereading the guidance I have received over

the past ten plus years. As is also standard practice

for me, I have spent a great deal of time

meditating and connecting directly with God 

to explore the topic. As I deep dive into the essence

of this message, I often run across guidance that

now requires a fresh look and understanding like

the guidance below titled God Thought.  

 

GOD THOUGHT

We exist within the consciousness of God –

a subset of the whole – a personal consciousness

within God consciousness.  Our being, our form,

all that surrounds us, and all that is within us,

is God originated existence.

 

All we see or experience is simply a thought

of God – we are a thought of God – and within

this ocean of thought we have being, are conscious,

and we are bathed in the essence of God thought.

 

We live within God – all we experience in this

collective God-consciousness – which our limited

consciousness is based – is found in this divine

consciousness.

 

In the extended vision of God we get to explore

humanity – God thought manifested in full form

to experience this existence. We live submerged

in the creation of God thought – all made of the

same thought substance.

 

Within our  consciousness is an awareness of

this connection – this oneness of Universal God

force – the divine spark fully aware of its source,

its origin, and its destiny.

 

Within the collective God consciousness is the

power and energy to create personal human

thought, the gift of creative power allowing us

to be one in our God potential, to contribute

to the voice of God in existence – as we live,

thrive, and create at the apex of God thought.

Let us continue on with our discussion of the "Now"

and its central role in enlightenment. Jesus introduced

the world to loving kindness and a personal connection

to God, but Buddha introduced the world to mindfulness –

being completely alive in the present moment. I would

like to start with a Meditation Note that I feel combines

both approaches with a New Thought perspective that

we are most likely to find God and ourselves in the Now

 

PERFECT MOMENT NOW

Come to God in this moment – the perfect moment Now –

this moment coupled with each breath – clear – untarnished –

a clean seed for life to grow and develop. Hold this in your

mind - a portal – a connection to infinite divine love –

divine mind – and know this is where God is waiting –

in this perfect moment – this Now within each beat of your

heart and breath of your lungs.

 

Connect with this moment and savor its beauty – its texture –

its willingness to be cocreated into any joy, any emotion,

any experience you wish to create. Practice living in this

moment – mindful – and clear minded of each sense,

each breath, each emotion.

 

Hold this jewel – this crystal perfection in your soul and

look deeply into its reflection and you will see God –

the divinity within you – smiling and ready to move

towards your heaven on earth. See the face of God

in the crystal jewel of this clear moment and stay

with it always.

 

The past is just a memory – disturbed – the future

a premise –equally distorted by a frightened mind –

only Now – in Now – with Now, will you truly find

the way and the light and the divine. Seek not in

the tombs of the past or the dreams of the future –

seek only in the perfect moment – Now.

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.

I would like to explore the struggle, at least for me,

between “belief” and “fear” and feature some 

Affirmative Thoughts and MeditationNotes that

I would like to share on these topics.I hope you

find them helpful. 

 

First, an Affirmative Thought For Today.

 

              INTERNAL STRUGGLE

             Let us fully understand and be aware,

               that there is no struggle in our world

               that is not an internal struggle –

               fully centered in our minds and

               created by our thoughts.

           

            Let us fully comprehend that within,

                we have the power to reinterpret,

                reenvision, and reframe any conflict,

                struggle, or negative event, simply,

                by rethinking and realigning our thoughts.

 

            All we see outside is created from within.

 

            Today see only solutions, positive action

               and steady progress!

 

Next, I would like to conclude with a Meditation

Note that helps me conceptualize my internal

struggle between “belief,” on one hand, and

“fear” on the other.  

 

POWER OF BELIEF                                           

 

Believe and it will be true – it will be created – manifested

into full form – full life. Simply believe. Belief is a full

alignment and focus of your vibrational energy –  your

creative soul energy - and it takes a tremendous act

of  clarity and focus.

 

Belief requires that competing forces in your mind and

soul, do not question but fully support the effort – totally –

completely. Otherwise “doubt” splits the the focus like a

wedge and impedes the movement to total belief.

 

What is “doubt” but the competing ego forces of fear and

insecurity? The ego shouts – “how could this be true –

how could you move the mountain, are you crazy? - do

you need help?” It is your job, and in your self-interest

to reindoctrinate the ego - sooth and retrain the voice in

your head to seek the safety of total belief – total clarity 

in the pursuit of the prize of enlightenment.

 

Utilize the ego, teaming with the ego in the pursuit

of full and total belief. Belief in yourself and your

capacity for cocreation - your capacity to harness

the power and create your heaven on earth.

 

Believe and it will be so!

 

WITH  LOVE, G.

resonate – produce or be filled with

a deep, full, reverberating sound;

evoke or suggest images, memories,

or emotions; technical – produce

electrical or mechanical resonance.

 

resonance – the quality in a sound

of being deep, full, and reverberating;

the ability to evoke or suggest images,

memories, and emotions:

physics – the reinforcement or

prolongation of sound by reflection

from a surface or by the synchronous

vibration of a neighboring object;

a short-lived subatomic particle that

is an excited state of a more stable

particle.

 

OUR RESONANCE

Our thoughts resonate; our emotions

resonate; our every attitude, enthusiasm

or inspiration resonates with a clear

vibration of ‘sound’ existence; being,

communicating, through the physical

and spiritual universe, an intention,

a purpose, a signal of possibility,

connecting firmly to all surrounding

existence a declaration of determination

which, in turn, creates like expressions,

a chorus, a harmony of continual becoming,

sounding, rebounding, resounding.

 

It is essential that our sonic

communication matches our desires,

our true intentions; the pure, positive,

productive voice of the reach for our

hopes and lasting happiness: fixing

on this tuning, rather than the fearful

tremors and dissonance of the discarded,

the unwanted, the resisted; those vexing

expressions of darkness, of pending

doom, with their unfolding stories

of possible, dismal consequences,

often replete with life’s suffocations

and sorrows – and instead, in place

of – let us draft a fresh story, a more

wholesome story, one of overcoming,

flourishing, singular transcendence

and true success – resonating a sound

so strong, so resilient it vibrates our

life, all of life, towards wholeness,

more-ness, stretching us upward,

propelling us in unison with a solid

declaration of growth.

When I receive a note like the one below,

I feel compelled to share its message.

I have, as many of you have, experienced

personal suffering in this life. Yet, even as

we are taken to our knees, as our tears

and words are mixed with a poignant – why,

we may realize that this is not a divinely

directed event, it is simply the nature

of this life, we now live.

 

I have come to realize that God’s place

is not to ensure that I avoid this suffering,

but that I am supported in overcoming

it when it does occur. And although you may

wince at me saying this, I can only point

to the note below for what appears to be,

at least for me, my answer.  

 

THROUGH EVEN THIS

We are not new; we are not old,

we are eternal, fully connected

to an infinite source of life and being,

a spark of divine purpose, intention,

one of an infinite multitude of positive

becomings, never alone, always connected -

a vessel of God’s wonder made manifest.

 

Today, work to perceive this very connection,

for it is - there, even in the turmoil,

even in the suffering, even in the bewilderment –

it is there to support you, comfort you,

enfold you in love and strength and hope,

to dry the tears, to support you up and over

the madness that may, now, envelop you.

 

Let this day be the first day of your

overcoming, accepting what is, with the

understanding that you are not alone;

accept God’s hand, rise, stepping onward

and through even this.

The following meditation note is, for me, one of the

better descriptions of God I have encountered in

my spiritual journey. How would you describe God?

                                    

ONE GOD  

There exists only one God – nameless – formless –

faceless - all power – all wisdom – all life.

The creative force of the universe –universal life

and love – the essence of all that exists or will ever

exist. Through God the breath of life is given –

through God all minds are connected – all

vibrations set – all evolution transpires.

           

God is an energy of life – empowering and powering

all growth and development in the world. God is the

universal life force moving all  life to greater beauty,

kindness, love, and potential. God is the authentic l

ife force inside every cell of everything we encounter

or hold dear, a life force pushing to become more,

better, fuller, more beautiful, wonderful, and glorious.

 

God moves through you, with you, and surrounds you –

is whole  but formless and is all form. God is spirit,

God is power, God is all and God is the space between all.

No one needs to become God, because you are God, full

of God’s divine love and intention. Your spiritual mission

is to know the God potential – the living God in  you –

alive – in full vibration.

 

No man can stand for God – for God is all mankind, 

all existence. Man can move towards God consciousness,

connect with the God self, and live within and with

the nature of God. Is this not the way of  Mohammed,

Moses, the Prophets, the Saints, Jesus, Siddhartha,

Lao Tzu and the others.

 

Connect and become one with God – the one God –

the all – and the all less.

This week has been anything but peaceful

for me, yet I keep coming back to the thought

of peace. I believe the obtainment of peace is

at the center of enlightenment.

 

I also think my week has been a test to see 

if I can return to peace, even when my

physical world will not. In Science of Mind

magazine this month, I read a short but

wonderful quote from Ernest Holmes

the founder of Religious Science.

 

God is peace. We enter this peace

                in such degree

as we withdraw from confusion.

                   Words That Heal Today 

 

I was stunned by the line – God is peace.

To be at peace in our world it does seem

to take divine power. So when we find

a way to stay in peace we find a way to

connect with God.

 

We simply need to make a conscious

decision to “withdrawal” from the

confusion. This is clearly the message

of the following Meditation Guidance.  

 

SURRENDER TO THE PEACE 

Surrender to the peace within your soul and let

go of your struggle to God. Surrender and free

your tormented soul – free yourself and touch

God’s out stretched hand. Release and breathe –

let peace move through every cell – every fiber

of your being. Know all is well and you are well.

 

Surrender to the divine magic within you – strong –

courageous – powerful – loving. Surrender the

negative thoughts and negative emotions that

suck your strength and serenity. Feel the peace

flow though your veins –moving through your

nervous center – through the circulatory system.

Breathe in peace – breathe out surrender.

 

Today join hands with God and enter the world –

calm – strong – patient – loving – knowing that all

that happens was always meant to happen.

All that is – has always been – has been prepared.

 

Today with God move in peace, security, certainty

that all outcomes will be affirming and positive.

 

Today move with God in peace and harmony and

love and know all is well.

 

WITH LOVE, G.

It is easy to see God’s hand in your life when everything

is going as planned and happening on cue. What do you

see when your life has “gone south” and it seems like

everything that you touch turns to mush and you are

not sure why?  

 

I have heard it said that it is at these times we should

know that “something magnificent is going to happen

in our lives” but when I am in this deep I rarely

believe it. What if we could at these times take a position

of strength rather than weakness and approach things

knowing we are Strong, Successful, and Capable as the

title of the following note suggests.

                                    

STRONG, SUCCESSFUL, AND CAPABLE

You are strong, successful and capable – fully

prepared to carry out any requirement or need

in your life. In your core connection to God you

have a base of strength to utilize and depend on

when needed. This strength has resulted in your

successful partnership with God to create the

abundant, fulfilling life you plan. Stay on course –

do not be shaken and your success is assured.

 

All of your life waits for you – all is ready for you

to move into your dreams and unfold your plan.

You need to make  yourself ready by preparing

a positive, loving, and receptive environment

and protect this new life.

 

Today observe your approach and reactions

to this life and understand and eliminate any

resistance. Accept and  enjoy and love what you 

are doing now. Do not resist or resent. Open up

your heart to all that now exists and prepare.

PATIENCE

Have patience and let God work through your life.

Have patience and allow what is meant to happen,

to actually happen. Relax and wait without anxiety,

frustration, or anger. Open your mind to recovering

the full joy of the day and your existence.

 

Have patience, for patience reveals and affirms your

faith and belief in God. Your fear and apprehension

display a lack of trust in the divine order of life. Lack

of patience causes you to take missteps and create

anxiety and ill will.

 

Lack of patience is disguised unbelief – it is not

letting God do the work that is necessary and right.

You want immediate action – immediate results -

but this is not possible.  Moving events quicker or

out of sequence is impossible.

 

You need to focus on the positive outcome that

you wish to appear, the solutions you request.

Vision or envision the solution you wish with

a force of strong emotion and it will be cocreated –

in time - within the flow of expectation.

 

Be patient, pray, meditate, and relax into

your faith in God.

my future efforts in the process.

 

It was not until I received the meditation

guidance below, titled The Box, that

I could visualize the issues behind

my impasse – I am stuck in a sort

of a conceptual box, one which is not

going to budge with the use of standard

tools, such as meditation, prayer, and

positive thinking, but will require a more

pertinent reframing, a re-envisioning

of my internal and external experience.

 

As the note expresses, the very walls

of this box is “self” fabricated, a blend

of my self-image, limited perspective,

and convoluted expectations. So,

as the note also conveys, I will need

to shed these layers of false reality

and - remember.

 

What I am to “remember” is not yet

clear to me, but I would speculate,

if past experience holds true, it is

a set of personal adjustments that

I will need to incorporate into my life

in order to move onward.  As with

all of our spiritual journeys, the

guidance we directly receive as we

progress on our unique path, will

usually of a specific personal nature,

rather than merely generic.  

 

The note that we have been discussing

is offered below, followed by a prayer

I recorded earlier in this recalibration

process titled Open To Be: a prayer

I feel that may assist those who have

discovered - they too may be in a similar,

Self-constructed box – a prayer that may,

hopefully, expand their own self-imposed

confines, while in turn, stretching their

spiritual potential.

 

THE BOX

The form is formless.

The whole is whole-less.

The pursuit of answers

finds us contained in a box,

hoping to find meaning from

our own confines, yet reaching out,

stretching our imaginations until

we collide with our own boundaries –

we must escape the box: so solidly

reinforced by our own perceptions,

so sure we are of these fragments

pieced together by our worthy

strivings; we assess, we conceptualize,

we theorize, legitimize our stiff walls,

until we let go of false assumptions,

working to broaden the dimensions

of our false reality; stripping our own

self-image, our opinions, our very self –

the self-encountered and expected

by others, the self-crafted by our

limited view – and, as the layers fall,

each in turn, from our shoulders,

we remember.

NOE/POEM G. 7.27.2016

                                           

                  OPEN TO BE

            Lord, let me stretch

    beyond this life, tall, stellar,

prepared to navigate the unseen,

    ready to fathom the shards

        of conscious awakening

     yet to be set in motion, dormant,

       but pulsing with potential –

        grace my understanding.

 

        Lord, often these pursuits

                leave me wanting,

        alone in chilled corridors

       languishing, short of breath,

    eyes clinched tight, arms flailing

            for connection, dragging

    my limp spirit over the frozen,

 smooth marble of the impenetrable.

      

        Lord, if not me why not me,

            please allow my entry,

                know I am alive,

            wanting, fully skilled

            to walk erect through

       the mire of myriad potential,

        with mind connected soul

        outstretched, open to be.

              PRAYER G.  7.8.2016

A major part of purposeful action is being “clear”

in what we are intending to do and why, unencumbered

by the good opinion of others or the misdirection

of our ego.

 

CLARITY

Search and strive for clarity in your life and your actions.

Clarity is clearness – purely motivated – clean –

transparent – connected to a motive of necessity.

 

Clarity is honest – truthfulness in word, deed, action,

thought, and emotion. Be honest and clear in your

actions – address the minimal purposeful action –

not the ego driven action. Be clear in every word 

and in every moment.

 

Clarity is simply performing the action or thought that

is needed in the now –unencumbered by guilt, not diverted

by the past or the future.

 

Clarity is directly connected to what is actually occurring –

being felt – being experienced. It is not directed by the

voices in the head but the compassion of the heart.

There are no should’s or have to’s or doctrine or rules

in clarity – only what is.

 

Clarity is clearness – clear and clean – honest authentic

action in living. 

 

Find clarity and find truth.

 

WITH LOVE, G.

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.

Fear is a frequent theme, or topic, of my meditative

connections with God. Personally, fear often stands

in the way of my obtaining a full, abundant, and

authentic life.  The Meditation Note, below, clearly

outlines the many faces of fear, offering some

advice for moving beyond it.

 

DO NOT BE AFRAID

Fear will limit your progress towards enlightenment.

To be afraid – to fear - is your belief that you are not

aligned with God. In fear, you struggle and protect,

for fear is the ego’s tool to keep you away from Spirit.

Fear pulls you into a hard shell for protection – it

makes you see others as strangers and adversaries,  

instead of brothers.

 

Fear is a direct communication to God that you

do not believe the way will be prepared. Fear is 

the lack of faith. Fear comes from lack and not 

from abundance, hope, or trust. No love or

kindness can be emitted by fear - no soul

thrives or expands.

 

When fear is present you are always angry.

You are angry at what you are missing, should

have but don’t have, need but are not getting.

Fear makes you angry with yourself

and angry with the world for not providing.

  

Fear of not getting what you should have gotten,

fear of losing what you have, fear of what may

happen, and fear of life, all leading to anger,

because you are frustrated by your own

vulnerability.

 

You are angry because, if you actually obtained

the needed item or feeling,  you would not be

afraid. Many children are angry at their parents

for not protecting them from fear. With fear,

there can never be love, since creation cannot

move out of fear – fear is withdrawn, non-life,

and there can be no growth in fear.

 

Shed your fear, and begin to trust your faith

in God to connect and move you to your

enlightenment. Trust that these struggles are

lessons: and your being frustrated and angry

only moves you further away not closer. Have

faith in life’s positive intentions. Have faith

in the source, God, life energy - can only

have your best intentions at heart - guided by

empowering the best life for you.

 

You lack the faith to understand that there

is and always has been a reason for what happens

to you. Your thoughts provide the momentum and

direction – so what is created is in alignment with

your intentions and desires. Your negative, fear

based interpretation sets you on a negative path,

leading you away from the center of  love and

enlightenment.

 

Let go and focus your thoughts on believing and

receiving. Believe that what you need for an

authentic, aligned life, will be manifested.

Prepare for the receiving and fully incorporate

the future into your mind.

 

Prepare the way through love and not fear. God

will do God's part.

WITH LOVE, G.

I know, intuitively, that if I were to really believe – 

fully believe – I could literally move mountains,

heal myself, and manifest any desire into creation.  

But to fully,  Find Belief, as portrayed in the Meditation

Note below, overcome my doubt, and avoid the antics

of  my ego,  is a major undertaking at best, if not a

lifelong challenge. At  the time of this meditation,

health was a major worry and concern for me.

 

FIND BELIEF 

If you do not believe, it will not be. Without faith in God–

without a spirit of belief – and fully knowing what you

want will be received - then, there is no manifestation.

Foster, nurture and become belief itself. To become

well – and return to the full, pure physical form and

creation of God - you must believe it is possible.

 

Without belief, there is only doubt, fear, and imbalance.

To be well you must believe, well, with all your heart,

your soul – expecting well and the return to the pure,

the clear crystal form of your authentic self.

 

Belief is not simple. The ego has a thousand reasons

why you will not obtain what you are wanting. Belief

is the enemy of the ego, which promotes logic and wants

you to believe that your world is out of control.

 

Believe - have faith – know that all you desire – health,

wealth, and an authentic life, has been delivered and

awaits for you to receive. Watch your ego that works

against receipt. Fully focus on love, acceptance, joy,

and abundance, then you will be prepared to receive.

Align your emotions and tune into the receipt and

you will receive.

 

Release your fear – for at times of poor health, fear

can be consuming. Believe in wellness and you will

be healed. Imagine only your healed whole state –

visualize –fantasize and experience the emotions

of wellness and you will receive.

 

Live by the light – the Heartlight.

WITH LOVE, G.

FULLER LIFE

Fuller life is what you seek and is the essence

of all struggle and movement on this earth.

Fuller life is not more of what you have, but is

conceiving and seeing what exists around you.

What is your heaven on earth?

Would you recognize it if it appears?

Heaven is being one with life – living in full

enthusiasm – loving abundantly and becoming

your authentic self.  The squirrel moving across

the lawn is not divided within itself – it has one

purpose – live life to its fullest – pushing

boundaries at times – taking risks but being

a squirrel.

 

Being Fully You – is authentic life – not the you

of your parents dreams or your lovers desires -

but the you God has empowered you to be.  

Move back to this and start exploring from there.

This is the you of your talents, your ability,

your dreams. What impedes progress towards

being fully you? Every day we are presented with

a life of our past – created from our past desires.

Learn to live and accept it – to flow with it and see

its place. You must accept this place and create

from this spot – not negating – but affirming

and building.

 

WITH LOVE, G.

When I get a chance, I like to present a meditation note

that actually occurs during the day of the post and reflects

my current mood - at times my triumphs, or at other times

my spiritual struggles. And I do struggle. Recently I have

been off, out of sync, or as Ester Hicks and the group of

non-physical beings which are called Abraham would say, 

I am paddling upstream rather than turning my boat

around and moving downstream with the flow of life.

 

I have done this enough to know when I am frustrated

with the pace of life and I am just plain trying too hard.

So this morning during my meditation I received the 

following message, which I hope you will find helpful

if you ever need to find your way back. Know that as

always I am still working on it.

 

                                    

THE WAY BACK

 

Find your way back to peace, love, and joy for you

have lost your way to the fears and worries and

challenges created by the egos desire to triumph.

Alter your approach and stop resisting what is

and reacting to each situation with strong negative

emotion.

 

Let go of your resistance, your frustration, your

need to make the outcome work and simply do

what you are called to do. The rest will follow

as it is meant to follow.

 

Continue on and trust God that the way has

been prepared –  the cocreation is underway

and all things good and meaningful are on the

way in your life. 

 

Understand that your thoughts and negative

emotionsare holding you back, your need

to please and be loved and to be perfect is

creating interference.

 

Simply approach each moment with peace

and with love to find the joy that waits for you.

Stop trying to maneuver with action and simply

maneuver with thought. Clear – loving  thought -

expecting the best for others and yourself.

Breathe in peace – let out love – find joy. 

Only by letting go with love and visualizing

with love will you progress.

 

Know all things are as they should be and

your negative emotions are impeding progress –

let go – release – love.

 

WITH LOVE, G.

As I meditate and search for guidance, seriously

addressing the prolonged inspirational wisdom

drought I have been experiencing, I again 

asked for guidance, and a word - activation- 

started to move through my meditations like a bird

in fixed flight, circling within my consciousness.

 

So, I reached for my journal, unused lately,

and found a fresh page and titled it - Activation,

expecting full well that I might be waiting

for something that was not going to arrive,

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

and sentences slipped into my awareness,

forming this note below before my tearful eyes. 

 

As I read this note, I wonder about my

spiritual activation - am I fully, or partially,

or not yet activated? 

 

ACTIVATION  

Spiritual activation is being alive and one

with the divinity of existence, living fully

and intently within this paradigm,

perceiving life as a carefully structured

vision of love and purpose, a message

of faith and wonder, allowing our souls

to express the miracle of this beingness.

 

We activate when we fully recognize our role,

our unique position as a distinct instrument

in the orchestration of one illumination,

whether we pound out the rhythm or contribute

to the melody – the timbre of our contribution

allows the whole to grow, expand, evolve;

opening the potentials yet unrealized.

 

Once activated, the voice of godness is our voice,

the message of oneness; our expression,

the becoming; our loving commitment –

it is here within this we are reborn, discovering

the essential why of our distinctive place

in the wholeness and being of this manifestation,

this living, breathing, thriving magnificence –

as active particles of momentous beingness 

of God, alive and well!

maneuver - a movement or series of moves

requiring skill and care; a careful planned

scheme of action.

 

At times, I feel like I am progressing in slow

motion, as my plans, goals, and dreams

are left to linger on the side of the road

while I attempt to get my “self” in order.

 

When I am in this punch-drunk, stupor

state, I am quick to analyze all of the opposing

forces that are limiting my output and success.

Yet, rarely do I stand full faced in the mirror

and point to the culprit who has made off

with my enthusiasm and motivation.

 

And with this frame of mind I will pray

for God’s guidance, as I did in this case,

taking my issue to God for some grace.

More often than not, I receive a message

that might have been conceived by William

Stephen Belichick, former lacrosse star

and now coach of the New England Patriots,

a message laying out a common sense,

but creative solution to my situation:

maneuverability.

 

As I read this message and work to

incorporate it, I have been accessing my

actual maneuverability, realizing I have

often dug a well honed rut, or better yet,

forged a rail, that I continue to ride, no

matter what the situation.

 

As I leave my rut/rail behind, and explore

on untethered,  I am surprised to see

opportunities that I have been missing,

closure I have been avoiding, and success

I have neglected.   

 

How’s your maneuverability lately?  

 

MANEUVERABILITY

The essence of success is maneuverability,

making adjustments as needed or desired,

shifting course to avoid pitfalls or negative

consequences, taking full advantage of positive

currents or momentum, open to every advantage,

aware of potential possibilities or oversights,

hands steady on the wheel, mind strategically

fixed on the destination, fully knowing what

is intended, with clarity of purpose and

performance; keenly transfixed.

 

This maneuverability often is the deciding

factor in the overcoming of diversity,

the unexpected, the setback, the uncharted

delay – assisting with an attitude prepared

for counter response and correction –

able to think creatively under pressure,

to maintain emotional balance, unafraid

of risk or consequence, locked and loaded

for success – with the face and soul of a

living hero, capable and courageous.

In our culture of perceived scarcity and lack,

we expect, better yet, demand, productive

results, even in spiritual matters. But what

if we were to heed the advice below, and

realize that what is to be may be the answer

we are so actively seeking. Perhaps, this is

the message we need to incorporate into

our lives.

 

ALLOW WHAT IS TO BE

Allow what is to be, accepting its relevance,

its purpose, choosing to see its pertinence

at this point and place in time; rather than

assuming some failure of diligence or your

part; some lack of planning or organization;

rather than moving to alter or change schedules

to ensure a different outcome; to will a more

agreeable present: take a moment to allow

just what is to be.

 

Is it really more appropriate or efficient

to descend on this situation, circumstance,

or happenstance with a sense of dismay,

resentment, failure for its lack of productivity,

results, progress; why berate yourself, others,

or fate for this moment of time without

accomplishment, without something to show

for its existence; perhaps it is asking you

to just allow what is to be?

 

As you allow this, strive to realize that this

moment may be best spent as it is, unattended,

undocumented, unframed – without form or

purpose – just as it is – allowing what is to be –

realizing it may contain the truth, insight,

or enlightenment you are seeking.

In the New Thought spiritual world, a central focus is

the act of forgiveness. Almost all great spiritual leaders,

most notably Jesus, emphasize the cleansing and healing

power of forgiveness.  I have done a lot of forgiveness

work having grown up in an abusive environment and

I am getting better at forgiving others in my life.

 

What I do poorly at times is to forgive myself. Frankly,

all things considered Ihave not done all that much 

to deserve this to be an issue. But when I am lost

in my pain body as Eckhart Tolle describes it, I can

take great pleasure in  mugging myself for my past

misdeeds. This may be the reason I received this

guidance from God titled Forgive Yourself.

Based on this meditation note self forgiveness

clears the soul.

 

FORGIVE YOURSELF 

Forgive yourself for not being perfect – for not doing,

saying, acting, and thinking as you think you should

or as the controller in your mind wishes you to behave.

 

Forgive yourself for all the mistakes you have made

in the past – all the missteps – the wrong directions –

all the blunders that appear today to be so clear and

avoidable.

 

Forgive yourself for all the pain you have caused

yourself and others – the pain you have caused

your children and free yourself of the guilt and

turmoil.

 

Forgive yourself for the missed opportunities,

for the poor choices, for the things you have done

that if better thought out you would not have done.

 

Forgive yourself for all the evil that you think you

have created and/or caused and free yourself from

the anguish of these deeds.

 

Forgive yourself as God has forgiven you knowing

each step was essential for your growth and

understanding.

 

Forgive yourself and love yourself again – knowing

you have done your best and always had the best

intentions in mind.

 

Forgive yourself and release all the pain and

anguish now and forever.

 

Now breathe the fresh breath of a clear soul.

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.

Whatever word or phrase you use to describe

God – Source, Spirit, Force, Divine Mind, I AM,

Infinite Intelligence, or Yahweh, most of us

will agree that naming the nameless, the formless,

the infinite does not fully represent what we

are trying to convey. I choose to stay traditional

and use the word “God” because I feel it is what

the vast majority of us relate to from our religious

training.

                

By whatever name we use - God is an energy or

force or presence that truly impacts our lives

each day. In the Meditation Note below titled

Growing God, I receive guidance defining

God as “the force of growth behind all positive

creation," constantly expanding with us and

through us. Maybe our true mission in life

is to just grow God.

  

GROWING GOD                                              

God grows with each moment of creation in the

manifested world – with each idea, movement,

breath, the fullness of God grows.  All life grows

God in the pursuit of more life, more creation,

and more growth.

 

God is the force of growth behind all positive

creation. This movement forward is the

manifestation of the continual movement

forward. The life force, creative force, is the

essence of God, the Source – where all

life and creation is fueled and put in motion.

 

God – the Source- moves only towards the clear

truth of perfect, flowing, abundant life. Each step

builds on the previous step, each creation forms

and becomes new creation.  This Source – is God.

 

God is in you – God surrounds you –God moves

through you. Realize you are a creative, living

cell of God – an individual  creation inspired

by divine creation.

 

We must all grow God.

 

WITH LOVE, G.

From time to time, we must all ask ourselves

the question whether we are diligently planting 

the seeds of a positive, authentic life in our 

consciousness, preparing for the harvest of our 

abundance and prosperity.

  

I transcribed the guidance below as I struggled

with the recuperation from back surgery. 

At that time, I am sure I was not focused

on a harvest but rather survival.  I did my duty

and recorded the note and forgot about it in

my journal.

 

Last night, while working on the book,

I came across this note again titled Harvest

Of Life. I was transfixed by the note and its

wonderful analogy, succinctly describing 

the consciousness work we all must do in

order to be fully authentic in this world. 

 

We are all growing and harvesting our

consciousness in every moment. If we

have planted the seeds of a positive life

in our minds, the results are ours to harvest -

prosperity, peace of mind, love, and happiness -

if not we must return to our garden and plant

our precious seeds once more. For there is

always another moment to farm again. 

 

 HARVEST OF LIFE 

The harvest is ready to reap – full and lush

from tender toil – from loving care – strong

and healthy – ready to be the fruit of your

enjoyment – to fill your storage bins with

plenty for the long winter ahead.

 

Know this is the way – to plant a seed within

your creative thought - to care for it – water

and weed – watch it grow – protect it from

the ego and the opinions of others. Watch it

grow and visualize it as strong, healthy, and

prosperous – ready to be the substance of

real life and real form.

 

In the fields of your thought, you alone are

the farmer and you alone can ensure growth

by keeping thoughts of lack, not, and error

from impacting your creation – ruining your

work and destroying your harvest. You have

mastered the rules of growing form and you

can bring your harvest to share and enjoy

with the world.

 

Understand - as you view the lush fruit of

your labor and the pure miracle of creation

unfolding,  you have been the artist of plenty,

and through your thoughts and patience,

will now feed yourself, your family, your

community, and the world.

 

Take the sickle in hand – prepare the laborers –

fill the trucks of life and enjoy the fruits of

your labor – the harvest of life.

I believe a key element of attracting what you want from

the universe is declaring your intentions to the world rather

than keeping them secret until they are fully conceived.

In a way my blog has been the declaring of my intention to

write the book long before the book was actually written.

 

Often we avoid this for fear of negative feedback that will

stall our progress and this is a legitimate concern.  In my

case I did not run and tell those who would not understand,

but choose a medium that would broadcast it to those

who would be my potential audience and find it useful.

 

I received this guidance titled Declare Your Intentions

a few days ago and this morning I was nudged to post it.

I hope it helps anyone who is thinking about declaring.  

                       

 

DECLARE YOUR INTENTIONS

Declare your intentions to the world giving form to

your dreams, visions, your plans to create a fuller life.

 

Declare your intentions to the world with passion –

with emotion, vibrating with the anticipated joy of

becoming new.

 

Declare your intentions to the world pushing past

the alarms of your ego – the voices of the internal

naysayers - the chorus of you are not ready –

maybe later.

 

Declare your intentions to the world fully envisioning

the end result and breathing life into thought –

creating from pure desire.

 

Declare your intentions to the world and watch the

intentions take shape, form, take life, and fly.

Declare your intentions to the world!

Living a “Purposeful Life” or “Authentic Life,”

one that mirrors our divine calling, often starts

with taking time to meditate on, and clarify, these

intentions.

 

In the Meditative Guidance below. titled Clarifying

Yuur Intentions, I am asked how clearly I have

thought them out.

 

Whenever possible I like to also suggest books I have

read that focus on the theme of the post. One of my

favorite books on this subject of  “intention” is

The Power Of Intention – Learning to Co-create

Your World Your Way by Dr. Wayne W.Dyer.

 

This book is on its way to becoming a New Thought

classic and offers an exceptional review of the

essential benefit of clarifying your intentions.

  

Clarify Your Intentions

Clarify your intentions – what is it you want to accomplish?

What do you want to come from this? Know that to move

forward will take risks on your part and require dedication

to the task and commitment to the goal. Clear and well thought

out intentions will guide you and motivate you along the way.

 

Are you the teacher, are you the messenger, or are you a

spiritual explorer diving into the mystery of the metaphysical

world to understand its vastness – its potential for human

growth? Or, are you all three; messenger, teacher, and spiritual

explorer all combined in one individual effort.

 

The path is open and has been laid out for you, but you will

need to be thoroughly committed to the plan. Prepare yourself

for the challenges of this engagement - of this effort. Take time

to build strength, find peace, meditate, and practice. Do not

try to please all aspects of your life but keep them in balance

through focused attention.

 

Focus on your personal life and keep connected and actively

participating. Let the calm you feel erase whatever stress

you have and be a tool moving forward. Know the destination

and the journey is easy. Clarify your alternatives and move

forward with confidence and joy.

 Here is post straight from my meditation journals

titled Spontaneous Action with a focus on fully

realizing our intent and our authentic purpose in life.

 

SPONTANEOUS ACION           

Let yourself act, move, feel, and think with spontaneous

action free from restriction, free from editing, free from

rethinking. This spontaneous action will connect you with

your authentic self and the divine presence within you.

 

Do not live and act to please others. Do not frame your

reality and desires to please your friends, associates,

boss, or lover. You must move in the direction you know

is right through clear, unedited thinking.

 

Spontaneous action is life in full motion – living by both

mind and body – fully conscious – fully cognizant –

within the complete flow of your natural self.

 

Spontaneous action is free action – authentic action –

and as long as it does not hurt others or yourself it

Is a viable response – an authentic response.

Look at how you currently respond and react to each

situation – are you guarded, censoring your true self

and feelings.

 

 Spontaneous action requires that you are in touch

with yourself, your wants, and your desires – living

and being fully yourself. In this way you will move

forward and complete the purpose of your life.

CLARITY OF INTENTION  

Clarity of intention forms the basis of cocreated

existence. Formulate in words with strong emotion

a set of proposed intentions. Document and

remember each in vivid detail, breathing life

and energy into their beingness, creating each

within your consciousness and soul.

 

Now, with inner declaration, inform the universe

of your creative intention, of your complete belief

in the intended outcomes, fully expecting what

is required to be set in motion, accelerating the

cocreation needed to proceed onward; believing

fully in positive outcomes.  

 

Spend visionary thought time with each intention,

immersed in the details until the vision takes shape

and life; and within take up residence, living within

this expected reality, existing clear with a firm belief

in the proposed reality of this cocreation effort.

Animate and activate these visions, willing

them into being – whole, vibrant, alive.

TANGIBLE CREATION  

Sincerity, immersion, along with complete commitment, 

define the parameters of a successful project or venture; 

a clarity of intention conceived in the heart of imagination,

made tangible through frequent visualization, formed

and reformed and formed again in thought and emotion.

 

The effort extended must be complete, authentic,

uncompromised – soul-centered and heartfelt –

cherished, loved, and essential; focused desire 

made manifest, a creation of good with universal

application, a magnificent undertaking.

 

To this constructive effort, all must be wagered,

all must be offered, for only the transfer of total

and unhampered belief will stoke the furnaces,

forge the particles into being, and finally, breathe

life into the shell of the whole, giving forth

animation and destiny.

At the center of New Thought spirituality

is the act of creativity – the ability to use

our minds to create tangible substance –

physical form. It is at the heart of the creative

process that we most resemble God.

Each day we all live our own Genesis creation

story -  utilizing our gift of creative energy

for growth, or at times, our own hardship.

  

CREATIVE CONNECTION

 

The creative energy of God is within you –

surrounds you – radiates from you  - infusing

you with the creative powers of the universal

mind.  Simply tap this power by going within

and connecting to its source -  then feel the

surge of perfect thought – alive within every

cell of your being – feel the connection to

all that is and become one with the creative

force within you.

 

All creativity is at your fingertips ready to be

harnessed by your consciousness – open the

canvas and create the life of your dreams –

heaven on earth – outlining the knowledge or

guidance you wish to convey.  There can be no

wrong, no missteps,  since you are all creative

energy – just trust in the source of the signal

and move forward. There is no failure in this

creative action – it is the work of God – the

divine calling – the building and forming of

what is at first thought and becomes form.

 

All you create comes from source – is one with

source – an expression of God through you –

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

oneness, to wholeness, to the connection

with God.

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.

Ann and I have been praying to God for the

healing of a family member who has cancer,

in hopes of receiving divine, curative assistance.

Our prayers have seemingly gone unanswered,

and we have entered into a discussion regarding

God’s will, ability, and/or power to actually heal.

 

When I suggested that maybe God does not

actually deal in the dispensing of healing

miracles, since to do so would require an

arbitrary value judgement of individual’s

worth and eligibility for special treatment,

Ann was devastated, pointing to all those

who believe they have received and have

directly benefited from healing miracles.

Why not our loved one?

 

As is often the case, this has sent me back

for further prayer and meditation to decipher

the reality of divine healing - at least as

presented by the message I have received

on the train, in hopes of unraveling what Ann

and I, you, we, all of us might expect from

God in this regard. I have been posting some

of my insights, but I must admit this is an area

that deserves its own book.

 

About a week ago, in response to my prayer and

meditation questions, I received the inspired

note I offer below titled Healing Belief. I am

often as skeptical as my readers when presented

with such a challenging concept as this note

conveys, especially when it proposes that

spiritual healing is based on the belief, in most

part, of the person to be healed: that is, our faith

and belief that God/Universal Consciousness

has prepared us to accomplish and succeed

at personal self-healing, if we would believe

in its possibility.

 

Of course this is not a unique approach. Many

consider it as a foundational concept of the

original New Thought movement itself. Deep

within my personal consciousness, I intuitively

know that these words expressed below reflect

a valid spiritual reality, and contain an element

of truth.

 

It is hard to dismiss the healing ministry of Jesus,

who was a master practitioner of this belief-based

healing power, healing based on the faith/belief

of the healed. It would be hard to describe the

“Placebo Effect” more accurately than referring

to it as the “Belief Effect.”

 

What if this note is true? What if our own lack

of mind control and belief holds us back from

the miracle of our self-healing potential?

Certainly, to accomplish this level of personal

healing would require a strong and clear

faith-based belief, one that I will continue

to pursue and work to master someday fully.  

 

HEALING BELIEF 

All healing starts from within, understanding

the concept of wholeness, completeness;

realizing that God has no awareness of disease,

malady, physical imperfection, and has equipped

us with the tools to heal without effort, simply

by maintaining a consciousness of wellness,

perfect harmony, perfect being.

 

With our God given tools of regeneration,

recovery, unhampered rejuvenation we declare

the truth of our beingness - we do not become

less, and if our system is injured it is designed

for self-correction, to heal naturally, to return

to oneness, wholeness, wellness.

 

This order, this law of health, is fueled,

powered by our acceptance of it, as well

as our total belief in its truth and plausible

consequence; activated when knowing full well

that no physical condition of deterioration

can exist without our cooperation, without

our support of the opposite or counter belief

in illness, disease, malfunction, demise.

 

Prayers and supplication must be grounded

in the unquestioned belief that healing

is maintained and created in consciousness,

fully loaded for our personal use, powered

simply by our unwavering belief.

The guidance below, which is typical of the

message I have received regarding our

existing relationship with consciousness,

reiterates the notion of a more robust and

vital dimension than we may usually imagine;

one that includes all time, all substance, all

existence – past, present, or future. Since,

in my New Thought perspective, God and

consciousness are indistinguishable,

with divinity and consciousness being one,

the infrastructure for our existence and

all existence, is, primarily, this field of

consciousness.

 

THE FIELD OF CONSCIOUSNESS

 

Consciousness so vast, so connected,

so intertwined, it is tidal with the ebb

and flow of past, present, and future;

thick with being; it blends and melds

like a dense batter stirred by the very

animation of being, as it reaches, stretches,

presses to be more, to hold the content

of life erupting, until it constructs the now

we inhabit, a delicate blossoming present,

formed of past and future unseen but

always the essential fabric of this now,

as it unfolds on: know this consciousness

is a field of being twisting, billowing, with

undulating life – all life that has lived,

is living, or will live – seek to comprehend

this connector of all being, all existence,

all presence; this ocean of being.

I think all of us, at times, approach life

tentatively, like a shy child stepping onto

the stage for the first time, and it is exactly

this hesitant manner that slows our progress,

whittles away our confidence, and leaves

us compromising rather than establishing

our well earned success.

 

Having received the note below titled

Be Expansive, while meditating this morning,

I realize it is time for some self-reflection.  

I am not timid when it comes to pursuing the

larger than life idea/project/dream, but then

I often stuff it into a box that is much too

confining, eventually neutralizing the

idea/project/dream to ensure it is quote –

manageable, feasible, doable – and I am

often content to live within the confines

of this self-created box, even if the final

results are less than desired. Guess it is

time to free my cramped undertakings by 

letting each go free range, thus, in my way,

testing the waters of being expansive.

 

BE EXPANSIVE

Allow the fresh ideas to flow today,

opening your consciousness to the vast

possibilities of this existence, be expansive,

shun the limitations real or perceived,

welcome the inspiration, the input,

the guidance available to enhance your

efforts, being bold in this exploration,

brainstorming with the fullness of infinite

intelligence – know you are the conduit

for the creative energy of God: so let

this force that propels all beingness incite

your imagination, let it set flame to your

wonder, embolden your claim to magnificence,

let it breathe the breath of the everlasting into

your perspective; as you grasp the throttle -

the thrust of life stretching to soar unhindered.

Whatever you ask for in prayer

with faith, you will receive.

                Mathew 21:22.

 

So I tell you, whatever you ask

for in prayer, believe that you

have received it, and it will be yours.

                Mark 11:24.

 

Much of New Thought is based on these

two quixotic and revolutionary quotes

offered by Jesus of Nazaeth, that without

question demonstrate his clear and

profound comprehension of the very

essence of our relationship with God.

I believe Jesus would read the guidance

I post below, titled Our Tender Grasp,

and be in agreement.

 

No matter what faith we profess, 

it behooves us to realize that this concept

of the doable nature of firm intention

with solid faith is worth mastering,

or at least comprehending.

 

So often, individually and collectively,

we listen to all who blur our focus, and

in the end find we have lost our grip on

what we so sorely needed.  

 

As we reflect on this Easter season, let us,

with our own firm intention and solid faith

intact, reach out to evolve this world,

our world, once more.

 

OUR TENDER GRASP

There is no destination beyond our reach,

no vision incapable of taking form and life,

no sentiment or emotion that eludes our

tender grasp – all is doable, possible with

firm intention and solid faith; strengthened

by a resolve that refuses to be deterred or waylaid;

a force of will significant, energized – set in full

enthusiastic motion – unrelenting – a united

focus on deserved attainment.

 

With this clear approach allow no doubt,

fear or concern to blur the focus; denying each

as they erupt as unworthy and unwarranted;

and with equal measure turn a deaf ear and

blind eye to any criticism, judgment, opinion,

or envious conceit tended by friend or foe alike;

proceeding instead with a scrubbed mind,

whitewashed, empty of harmful self or other -

defeating chatter.

 

Thus prepared, we move adroitly towards

what is waiting our full discovery and claiming,

our due reward for faith and undaunted

determination; open to receiving what

has been prepared for those who master

this belief based becoming.

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 may

be all we desire at the moment, our existing

connection with God fitting our actual needs,

not requiring any further stretching or expanding

of our perspective.

 

I guess the question 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.
