Today as I was preparing to begin my morning ritual

of spiritual reading and meditation, I decided that

today, I would reach into my archives of unpublished

Affirmative Thoughts, letting the universe pick the 

theme for today's post.  I picked out the Affirmative

Thought published below titled Let Go And Let God.

It is often startling to see how the themes of the past

are still very much current today. I read it over and

set it aside to see what developed during my meditation.

 

A new addition to my morning devotion  is to go into 

one of my own journals where I have recorded a Meditation

Guidance I have received and relate 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 affirmative 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.

As I was exploring my guidance related to building and

maintaining a positive mental attitude and I opened one of

my journals to the Meditation Guidance listed below

titled Reset Your Mind. Reviewing it again it made me

long for a reset button that I could push to restore my

positive mental attitude that I carelessly lost during

life operation.

 

When the negative mind dominated by the ego takes

charge you do need to stop, recognize the problem,

and “prayitate” (my word creation for affirmative

prayer and meditation) to reach spiritual tech support

and if necessary hit the reset button. 

 

Reset Your Mind

Reset your mind for success and

understand that your negative –

fear laden thoughts – through the

Law of Attraction and Mind Action

will be reflected in your life.

 

This is the process of cocreation and

manifestation. Since you are investing

strong emotions in your negative

perspective, you speed the process for

what is manifested with strong emotion

is surely received when presented to the

Universe.

 

To break this cycle you must reflect on

positive, successful, fulfilling, and

meaningful outcomes seeing these as

possible and expected. Expect good with

strong emotion and you will attract and

receive this good.

 

This takes constant vigilance in thought,

action, and reflection. Reflect on the

negative past, the foibles of another

time and the universe will bring this

past back to you.

 

Remember God, through the Law

wants to manifest your strongly held

desires and does not analyze, judge,

r critique. Remember Jesus’ words –

“Ask and You Shall Receive”.

 

So right now you need to reframe

every thought into positive aspects –

fully supported by strong emotions

and you will begin to reframe the

reflection of your mind, which is

“reality”, into a positive force for

success and abundance.

 

All of this is within your scope

and your power as you recreate

your life.

BALANCED EXPECTATION 

We must each seek first a balance between

desire and possibility, realizing exact specifications

rarely fit the unfolding being, our concept,

our vision may ignite an immediate spark

setting our world ablaze or instead; just kindle,

smoldering until time, place, and purpose align

at some distant point an appropriate flame.

 

Immediacy excites our desires as patience

is considered a retardant, slowing progress,

keeping us from our intended mission and

hoped for rewards, yet it is precisely at this

moment when we focus on the outcome

that we set our progress into disarray,

appeasing want rather than sound growth

and forward momentum.

 

Let us set our eyes and focus on the doing,

allowing the becoming to find its pace and

direction, to unfold with divine and universal

support into the essence of its very nature,

its true possibility, authentic and firm in its

construction, a complete vision of wonder

and magnificence.

The circle has such a powerful spiritual and secular sense

to it - “the circle of life”, the “circle will be unbroken”,

or the American Indian’s focus on “The Greater Circle”

as outlined in Michael Garrett’s book on the Cherokee

Teachings for Harmony and Balance titled Walking

On The Wind. Garrett quotes the great Medicine

Man Black Elk who states

 

You have noticed that everything an Indian

does is in a circle,  and that is because

the Power of the World always works

in circles…

 

In the following Meditation Note titled Form A Circle

Of Beauty, the unique spiritual nature of the circle

is touched upon along with its connection to God 

and the soul.

 

FORM A CIRCLE OF BEAUTY

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

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

of all existence. The circle is strong but flexible

and although it can be increased or reduced in

size it always maintains an outside, an inside,

and the line separating the two. Your life is

like a circle with the essence of you within

the circle surrounded by the world and God

which both give you form. God is with you within

the circle and gives form to the circle as the

external ring.

 

The circle is perfect, beautiful, and sacred.

The circle is power, the circle is peace, the circle

is  a spiritual symbol and provides the healing

which is needed. Consider the strength of a ring,

the circle cannot be pulled apart end by end,

it must be forced apart with great strength.

Every cell of the circle has a vested interest

in its own existence.

 

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

flourishing, creating, and becoming as God

assists and supports. Circles of healing, circles

of prayer, circles of forgiveness, circles of faith,

circles of love, circles of magnificence – form

these circles, comprehend the circle and you

will understand God.

There are times when the evil that

surrounds us in incomprehensible;

we are surely experiencing one of

these times. That it is being done in

the name of God is just unfathomable.

 

Yet, 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.

This week I am exploring the struggle, at least for

me, between “belief” and “fear”and feature some

Affirmative Thoughts and Meditation Notes that

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

find them helpful.
 

My daily posts are all original and come, from

what I think of, as a number of inspired sources.

Most of the Affirmative Thoughts come from my

notes of love, or inspiration, I write for Ann each

morning. As I make her tea, I sit down and jot out

a quick note, in the few minutes while the tea brews. 

 

I try to focus on what may be happening in her life,

writing whatever comes to me without editing.

The notes have become more spiritual over the past

year. Ann loves the notes, looking forward to them

to start the day, so I rarely miss a morning. If we

are not together, I text the note to her. These are 

also turning out to be a good source of material

for the daily posts, although never

intended to be.

 

Today’s post comes as a result of meditation  I have

had regarding a subject or topic. With nearly three

years commuting on the train, I have a large number

to choose from so they will usually not be hot off

the press.

 

I call these Meditation Notes and they come to me

when I ask for God’s guidance. I get a line or two

during the meditation and then reach for my journal,

and write out, in a stream of consciousness, without

editing.

 

The post below is hot off the press, resulting from

a question I posed to God to God during my morning

meditation on the train. In the spirit of the blog post

theme of the week, I thought I would get God’s

up-to-date guidance.

 

In deep meditation, as the train rumbled towards DC,

I asked, simply, “What is Belief,” and from the silence

my answer was - “Belief is Trust.” After a few more

questions I reached for my journal and wrote the

following note. I never really thought of belief as trust,

but after reading the passage, it makes prefect sense.

 

 BELIEF, TRUST, AND FAITH

Belief is trust – trust in God – trust in life – trust in yourself -

    trust in others - trust that you feel deeply, emotionally and fully.

    Belief centers on, knowing what you think and cocreate with

    God will manifest and become real. It is trust that positive

    consequences will result in the end, even if they are less

    than apparent now. Belief is trust in yourself, that you have

    the skills, abilities, and talents to actually make it happen.

 

Belief based in trust is the essence of faith. For to have faith

    you must suspend disbelief, fully trusting in the positive

    outcome. Faith is empowering and over powers any obstacle,

    challenge, or dis-ease that you are experiencing at this

    moment. Faith is truly, the “elixir of God,” and will intoxicate

    you with power, poise, and purpose. Faith will quiet your

    ego and fears, allowing you to securely take whatever leap

    of faith is required  at the moment.

 

In the end, fear is merely faith in negative consequences.

    Belief with trust is faith in the infinite, the ultimate, the

    always, and potential good that awaits.

           

 Trust in God! Trust in life! Trust in yourself and your

    faith will make you whole!

 

WITH LOVE, G.

COCREATING WITH GOD                                  

A key concept in New Thought is the Law of Mind Action

or better known these days as the Law Of Attraction, which

features our ability to co-create with God. It took me some

time to accept this concept of having the ability to actually

manifest what is in my mind into the world and that this

happened without much effort. What do you think?

 

Having seen this Law in action, I now believe that it is

true but is dependent on your full belief in the process.

Since this has been an area that I have struggled with

I have received much guidance on how to make this a

reality. In the Meditation Guidance below titled

POWER TO MANIFEST, I am given a very clear 

look on how to approach cocreation.

 

POWER TO MANIFEST 

You have the power to manifest whatever you need

or want into your world – to bring it to being –

to bring to life your visions, dreams, and fantasies

through the pure focusing of your mind. Cocreating

through your thoughts and connecting with God

energy - all of life – abundant and authentic life

awaits.

 

All that is needed is your belief and the clarity of

your thoughts and emotions. You must suspend

doubt, fear, and contradiction and with all your

mental focus visualize and emotionally envision

the action, person, place, event, circumstance or

thing you want to manifest into this world.

 

The natural and spiritual law through right attraction

will send out the signal through all the spiritual network

and the result will manifest – cocreated through right

desire and fixed focus. If you are aligned in thought

and emotion – this power creates an unstoppable

signal of vibrational desire and the result will come.

 

You must always be ready to receive, ready to receive

your creation – your mind creation from the network -

in order to receive delivery. First believe, then with

clear emotion and thought focus on the desired

manifestation, and then prepare to receive. 

 

Do not doubt, do not question, and do not become

impatient. Work today on constant positive

manifestation. It is time to manifest

the magnificence of your life.

NOE G. 7..21.2010

 

I would like to focus the next few posts on the Law of Attraction,

or as my guidance calls it ,the Law of Right Action and how we

are able to cocreate with God. Next I will review my guidance

on how to develop the power of belief which is needed to be

a successful cocreator.

This week, I received a response to one

of my posts on joy that said I was trying 

much too hard to manifest joy in my life.

Is joy something we obtain or realize? 

This discussion brings me to a Meditation

Note titled Surrender. What if we were

just to stop seeking and surrender to the joy

already existing in our lives? To surrender

connotes that we give up internal and external

struggles and trust in God. I admit, I still have

a way to go on this and my meditation notes

often reveal my need for guidance.

 

JOYFUL SURRENDER

Surrender to the flow of God even when it appears

counter intuitive. Surrender to the solution that has

been prepared for you – the positive outcome that

awaits. Trust in God to lead you through the challenge

and find a solution. Focus on this line and repeat it

to yourself as you struggle with your own mind.

 

I am whole and ready to receive

                                  the full grace of God!

 

Lift up your eyes unto God - let the burden slip away

and know that God is with you waiting for you to open

your mind to the possibility of a fearless life. Shake

the fear and move on for it is only a sign of lack of faith.

 

With each challenge find your mantra “I am whole”

and focus on this line as you turn the situation over

to God. All good awaits – do not be afraid or afflicted.

You are protected by your own strength and the

strength of God. Clear the way for the manifestation.

 

WITH LOVE, G.

I am now preparing  to write a chapter titled,

at least for now, The Soul and God Consciousness - 

The Divinity Within. By utilizing what I have come

to term as a swarming approach, I go out and beat

the bushes of consciousness  reviewing everything

I have ever thought, read, overheard, or written

hoping to generate a swarm of ideas around

the concept or subject until the tumult of buzzing

thoughts lead to a way of viewing the subject that

is new and by chance even enlightening.

 

This technique has enabled me to learn and grow

as I write and in the end to discover  a finished

product that I had no inkling existed when I began. 

So let's begin the swarm with the meditation guidance

below titled The Power Of God  Consciousness.

I transcribed this on a sunny Sunday morning in

while meditating on my deck and since I did not have

my journal with me I just jotted it down on a sheet

of blank paper which I had intended to write in my

journal but never got around to it.

 

I like this note because it clearly outlines our

individual conscious connection with universal  

consciousness. Our divine consciousness being 

a functioning subset of this God consciousness.  

 

THE POWER OF UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS

God is Universal Consciousness.

I am Universal Consciousness.

We are Universal Consciousness.

 

Everything starts and finishes with the power

of universal consciousness formed of all the

consciousness of each piece of sentient life alive

or that has ever lived. Your consciousness is a

connected subset of the universal - a contributor

and emissary – the hands and feet of this conscious

creation known as life.

 

When you mediate and move behind your egos

longings, indoctrination, conditioned thought

patterns, and the chaotic chatter of a mind yet

fully trained to move beyond the misconception

of  separate existence, you connect with the

consciousness of God – call it what you wish

universal, infinite – call it mind, intelligence,

or consciousness – it is within this purposeful

vehicle of creation that you are connected with,

submerged in, surrounded by and one with God.

Here is the essence of positive creation.

 

Your task is to train your mind to live in harmony

with this connection, realize its existence , and stay

connected allowing it to fully live with you and

cocreate with you. At this point you will realize

the power of connected existence and move on

with others to reconceive this world – as one –

the next step in the evolution of  consciousness.

This is the divine plan, the inheritance of collective

conscious will evolving – becoming – pushing forward –

expanding the potential of all consciousness. 

NOE 8.14.11 8:15 AM (Divine Within)

 

After a review of the briefer Affirmative Thoughts

I write each day, I realized that this topic of the divine

self, soul, or God within has been a frequent muse

over the years with more than thirty notes addressing

his subject. I would like to review these notes in my 

blog posts as part of this swarming approach. In the

note below the  heart within is your soul or divine

self that may just carry the answers you are seeking. 

 

 WITHIN YOUR HEART

The answer you seek is not to be found

in the world but within your heart,  your soul,

your divine self  - moving into position to thrive

and blossom – to come to full life after waiting 

patiently for so long.

 

The answer you seek is ready to be revealed

and waiting for you to be ready to receive –

to have the strength to shake off your fears

and walk into the light of its solution where

all you have sought waits for you to arrive.

 

The answer you seek when reveled and acted

upon will clear your mind of confusion,

energize your passions, and enable you to

live as you again.

assert yourself and ensure you

have been heard.

 

There is no need to be timid when

you are ready and able to lead the way,

see clearly what needs to be accomplished

and have a plan for bringing it to life.

 

There is no need to be timid when

you have the answer – have the abilities

and skills to turn it into a viable solution –

without concern or fear of failure.

 

There is no need to be timid today,

so be prepared to move forward in

your preferred direction – pushing

past the confusion of others as you

improve life for all concerned.

I reach back to September of 2011 to feature

below a previously unpublished note titled

Envision Life. I feel this is a practice that I need

to master. Honestly, even after studying the greats

of New Thought mind control - Mulford, Atkinson,

Wattles, Larson, Neville, Troward, and Holmes,

to name but a few, I feel my talents in this area

are but remedial.

 

Many of us roll our eyes at the thought of actually

envisioning and attracting into our lives what

we want through strong intention and faith.

At the same time, we marvel at the greats who

have done just that to improve the world and

enrich their own lives. On the flip side, how

many of us spend our waking hours in constant

contemplation of scarcity, lack, suffering, and

loss, only to be taken down by our own focus.

 

It is time to use our cocreative powers to envision

a better life for ourselves and humankind. Yes,

if you think this is brainwashing you are correct,

but I assure the skeptic, after a true assessment

of our errant thought patterns, our brains may

truly benefit from a scrubbing. Chapter Eleven of

Finding God On The Train – The Book , offered on

the left hand sidebar of the blog as it is written,

titled Mind Control Approaches and Techniques,

covers the art of envisioning in-depth.

 

So, let us use our thoughts to sculpt and improve

our lives. To grab reality and mold it in our favor.

 

ENVISION LIFE

Think it, hear it, see it, touch it, be it

fully in your imagination to cocreate

your dreams through God’s infinite

love and power.

 

Imagine every detail, every aspect with

the fuel of your love and desire. Live

within your imaginings until it feels real

and becomes your reality.

 

Breathe in the life air of this new creation

until your envisioning  takes shape like a

sculptor’s art – caress its lines, memorize

its movement, fuel it with life – a living,

vibrant envisioning, clear and perfect in

its power.

 

Every moment you have, move back into

your envisioning, your imagining and

resume your life within, savor the sensual

experience and believe in its reality.

 

Never question, never doubt, only believe

in the possibility – envisioning until it takes

form in the reality of your life.

 

Envision through imagining the new life,

the new purpose, the new goals, never

doubting – only experiencing fully.  

 

Envision with love – strong desire –

feel the emotion – the happiness and joy

this vision gives you, until, it is completely

framed in the reality of form – given life

by your empowered, loving vision.

THE APPROACH - MEDITATION GUIDANCE INSPIRED BY THE FINDING ON THE TRAIN STORY - QUEST FOR A POSITIVE , PERSONAL, AND CONTEMPLATIVE SPIRITUALITY

 

                                       

THE APPROACH

 

The approach to your inherent divinity takes work –

concentrated effort – a force of will where you take

control of your mental chaos – your ego madness,

and move your consciousness towards adopting and

evolving  to the true God qualities that lie dormant

but exist within you. This is not a sojourn on the path

to enlightenment but a fully committed act of will –

an act requiring total commitment and diligence.

 

The approach to your inherent divinity takes daily

training and preparation – for to inhabit the God

qualities of compassion, love, caring, kindness,

forgiveness, patience, poise, and creative power

truly based on the worthiness and oneness of all -

the connection of all life and its innate right

to grow into full potential -  this does not just

appear but must be sewn with the passion of true

faith and desire.

 

The approach to your inherent divinity – your God

nature given life and form is a work in continual

process requiring an on-going reflection, assessment,

and  readjustment – only striving on constant

feedback and correction. This is the enlightenment

that awaits when you approach this opportunity with

courage and strength of your whole heart – pushing

through  your own limitations and the misdirection

of the others on the path until one day the door

swings open and the truth is revealed.

A PERSPECTIVE OF WHOLENESS

As you recuperate today, focus on sustaining

and maintaining a perspective of wholeness,

wellness, and regeneration that is complete

and total, reinforced by thoughts of oneness,

of perfect life intact – a vision of you as intended.

 

With each whole thought see through the illusion

of disturbance or less and into the truth of your

perfect creation, where the current condition

exists only as a misrepresentation, an anomaly

of sorts, to be overlooked or discarded, replaced

by oneness.

 

Today, realize fully, you have all that is needed

within to accomplish this transformation,

this reformation, through energized belief

and envisioning, allowing only the natural

thought of a complete and total presence to be

held, to be accurately maintained in consciousness.

WHAT IF?

 

There is a strong tendency for the followers

to build an expectation of the followed.

There is a strong desire to want super

powers in our heroes, in our Gods, and

in our leaders; to counteract our perceived

human powerlessness. So, God, for many

has assumed the big three: omniscient,

omnipotent, and omnipresent: a super

savior of such magnitude; who for a prayer

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

 

As we reflect on this approach - debate and

consider its validity - many turn away

questioning why a multitude of dutiful

believers have faced torment, torture,

and mass extinction without even a drop

of mercy, grace, or intervention. 

 

As the note below proposes, what if

God shares our consciousness, but is not

able to counteract human free will

and directly intervene in the affairs of  

humankind? What does it indicate about

God – what would it suggest that we

consider doing, to save ourselves,

primarily, from ourselves?

 

For a few months, I have been reading

and rereading the note below titled

The Stirrings, along with a number

of related notes that have followed and

support a similar line of reasoning.

 

This initial note below offers a frame-

work for how an emergent God might

come into existence. I am still praying,

meditating, and asking for guidance

regarding this topic, but this is one

example of the response I am receiving.

 

In this note, the emergent God inherits

a troubled collective human consciousness,

unable to exist without turmoil, war,

and savagery. Hate to say it, but sounds

a lot like life on our planet today. I thought

I would try my hand at a brief introduction,

to frame what might have been happening

in the world at the time, of this emergence

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

 

When a groggy consciousness awakes to

its own intention, fed by, gaining strength

from, and finally given substance to by the

fearful cries and pleas of early humanness –

earth’s original inhabitants - daily facing

a stark existence in a new world; as their

fierce, more menacing, cohabitants seek

nourishment, and evolutionary placement;

this infant collective awareness, with wordless

mindfulness, struggling for existence: produces

the perfect clamor to call forth their own

salvation, an emerging God, a collective

universal consciousness that finds a reason,

an intention, a purpose, and offers refuge.

  

THE STIRRINGS

 

God came into being through the stirrings

of a combined consciousness, becoming

aware and awake, reaching out to make

sense and purpose of this united presence,

this life fully aware of itself, its place, its

possibility: knowing each individual

presence was, in fact, a part and parcel

of its larger, fuller, greater perspective;

all inclusive, evolving, growing. becoming,

being, then dissolving; a sense of one,

whole, a sum of its parts became – this entity

of combined human consciousness, yet also,

inclusive of all less vigorous or fully aware.

Knowing – even as it awoke, the realization

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

unable to appease or unite:  even so,  its

allegiances, tribes, or coalitions left little

but fear, despair, and savagery – to placate

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

how, was the repeated question, as the over

mind, the now overall consciousness ruminates

its purpose, its existence.

Easter and Passover are interrelated holidays, because,

of course, Jesus was Jewish and a Rabbi, who was put to

death during the Passover celebration. Many consider

Jesus the son of God and by natural extension, a God

himself.  Framing the question this way – was Jesus

a God who became a man, or a man who became, God?

The answer to this question is a matter of deep belief

and faith, and I do not have the answer.

 

Personally, I support the New Thought perspective

that sees Jesus as a man who has moved closer to his

“Christ or God nature” than any other human being in

history. With this fusion of man and God, I believe

came a power beyond our mortal comprehension.

A power to overcome death, heal the afflicted, and

manifest salvation throughout all time. Here is a

Meditation Note that came to me recently, conveying

the immense spiritual power of Jesus as Christ.

                                    

JESUS AS CHRIST

Through love, Jesus obtained the power of God and

became Christ. Like 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, a connection that has become the savior of

mankind – his power always present – always available –

his path always waiting 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 mankind – God revealing through

Christ the true power available to 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.

Last week I had downloaded from

iTunes a series of New Dimensions Radio

interview programs, which featured

Dr. Wayne Dyer. One of the programs,

from the late 1990s, was a discussion

centering on Dyer’s, then recently published,

1998 book titled Wisdom Of The Ages,

60 Days To Enlightenment.  I decided

to buy the iBook and read one of the sixty

quotes each morning, as an addition to

my morning meditation and prayer practice.

 

Today’s quote was on the topic of

divinity, featuring Epictetus (55-135 AD), 

an emancipated slave, who later became 

a Greek Stoic philosopher:

 

You are a distinct portion of the

essence of God in yourself. Why

then, are you ignorant of your

noble birth? Why do you not

consider whence you came?

Why do you not remember when

you are eating, who you are who

eats, and whom you feed: do you

not know it is the divine you feed;

the divine you exercise? You carry

a God about with you.

 

I finished my reading, begin to

meditate, and, as I usually do,

asked for guidance. I received

the following message:

 

BIRTHRIGHT 

Open your mind to the sheer power

that runs through you,  fully embrace

the enormous power flowing through

every fiber, every cell of your being,

the divine power, the essence of God

within you – dive deep within its

holy fluidness, wash away the doubt

and confusion left unguarded, creating

what is without substance or merit:

instead; today, stand firm and positive,

clearly focused on the strength, wisdom,

hope, compassion, and creative energy

that is your birthright; flex your creative

God power, reframing the static

transmission, replacing it with full

and vibrant definiteness, fantastically

ripe and waiting to emulate your every

dream, to inculcate your consciousness,

ready to plant, grow, and harvest a

reality without bounds – robust and

purposeful.

In New Thought the concept of Christ consciousness

often refers to our divine center or soul that exists within

all of us and serves as our portal or connection to God.

The Hebrew Mystics who follow the teachings of the five

thousand-year-old Kabbalah believe in many soul levels

with the “neshama” - meaning breath - associated with

the highest level of human spiritual awareness and

connection to God. I would consider that if you

function from this “neshama” soul level you reached

enlightenment.

.

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

the other Hebrew Prophets, Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed,

Lao Tzu, and many other spiritual beings have hit this

level of higher awareness and connection with source.

If you are not Christian, you could easily think of this

as Moses Consciousness,  or Mohammed Consciousness or

Buddha Consciousness because I believe all three have

reached an inner mystical state of awareness and connection

with the Tao, Allah, Source, Universal Intelligence, Infinite

Mind, or what every term you wish to use to refer to God.

 

Here is my Meditation Note reviewing Christ consciousness.

 

                                    

POWER OF CHRIST

The answer is within; the guidance, the path, the way to

enlightenment. Live through the consciousness of your

Christ center. Find the center – move towards it and

reach for its peace, joy, and harmony with life.

 

The voice of the Christ within you is soft but profound.

listen internally through prayer and meditation.

Disregard the warnings of the ego that my pretend

to be the voice of Christ within.

 

You want so much more - money, power recognition,

control but these are illusions created by a false reality.

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

the ego. Your ego will have you believe that your actions

or failure to act creates this reality. Beware of your thinking,

it is not a positive force. The thoughts you have may

not be based in logic but in pain.

 

Be proud and loving and accept who you are. You are

a positive life force who has accomplished much

under great challenge. Christ loves you and truly

appreciates your strength, kindness, love, and spirit

of adventure.

 

Move to the center – to the Christ spirit within.

The human soul and how it relates to and interacts with God

Consciousness. The Meditation Guidance 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 but 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.

I have spent the past week writing and rewriting

a key chapter of book three of the Finding God

On The Train series, to be titled The Soul and God

Consciousness - The Divinity Within - tweaked almost

as many times as I have revised the introduction.

 As often happens with my writing,  I get lost in the

material until I come up for air with the appropriate

perspective.

 

Although I am not there yet, I find myself intrigued 

by the Meditation Guidance below titled The Mirrored

Soul, which indicates that our authentic self exists 

fully formed within God-consciousness, working

to guide us towards the full realization of our

potential. If this is accurate, then it is plausible

we do come into this world with a "soul mission"

or "calling" that we must in some way ascertain

and somehow reflect through living.  

 

THE MIRRORED SOUL 

Within God-consciousness resides the divine image

of you, reflected and conceived in perfect oneness –

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

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

the sincere soul of pure God identity,  the blueprint,

the model, the destination of authentic purposeful

being.

 

Our divinity – our God self – our atman resides in

the total and universal consciousness of God – fully

aware of the past, actively working with us in the

present, knowledgeable of the potential and

possibilities resulting from present choice points.

 

This divine reflection has and will always exist and

is ever present and active in our lives moving us

through our separation and limited perspective, our

ego desires and indoctrination, towards a connection

with the true potential of our existence. We move

towards and connect with our divine image – our

reflection of perfect life – our God nature through

prayer and deep meditation – through envisioning,

dreaming, and clairvoyance.

 

Work to connect with, and be guided by, your divine

based self within God consciousness, knowing this is

the road to enlightenment – true heaven on earth.

HEART-TO-HEART CONNECTION

In order to build ourselves, to nourish and

expand, we must encourage our positive

emotions, as positive beings these emotions

will fuel our transformation, our broadening

consciousness.

 

Kindness, compassion, empathy, sympathy,

heart-to-heart connection, present in even the

capable of being touching and loving, living

with a capacity of empathy, sensitivity,

and caring.

 

Be tender, do not expect more than you

can give, more than you can live, understand

the complexity of conscious existence and

become its champion through tender action.

 

Be tender, reach out into this life with softness,

meek in action, with a deep regard for all who

co-inhabit existence, let go of the negative,

the critical, the self-righteous.

 

Be tender, allowing kindness and compassion

to proceed as the first reaction, the lasting

tribute of your existence.

 

Be tender.

I would like to share some guidance

I received  in response to my morning

prayer and meditation session.

 

I was instructed to read the meditation

guidance below aloud until  I fully believed

it and incorporated it into my life. Now, as I

read it aloud I can still hear my ego exclaim -

"how could this be true - what about all

those things we need, what about this,

what about that ....?"

 

As I attempted to calm my ego I realize this

simple statement strikes truly at the heart

of enlightenment. If my enlightenment, my

heaven on earth requires this or that, it is

not true enlightenment - just the ego's

co-opting of the concept.

 

As I was struggling with this concept, I

read the following passage from Thich

Nhat Hanh, summing up again this

basic truth.

 

This spot where you sit is your own spot.

It is on this very spot and in this very

moment that you can become enlightened.

You don't have to sit beneath a special tree

in a distant land.

 

Enlightenment is truly available at any

moment, here, now, on this spot where God

and grace exists. This I feel is a basic spiritual

truth, which I understand and accept logically,

I just need to get my ego to cooperate.

 

Read the statement below out loud and see

what this or that your ego may be requiring,

before allowing you to attain enlightenment.  

 
 

RIGHT AND PERFECT NOW

My life is right and perfect now – no need for

alteration, rearrangement, or reconfiguration.

My life now is a blossom of intention, glorious

in its beauty, magnificent, lush, and fully

capable of offering all the happiness, all the

joy, all the peace, and love, I could ever desire.

 

Let me put an end to my striving and flourish

instead within the garden I now am blessed

to inhabit. Let me lift the vale of the ego’s

future living, open my eyes and heart and

mind to this very moment, this very now

where God and grace wait for my awakening.

Let me be fully alive in this moment now,

yearning only to touch its heaven on earth.

Since January of 2008, when I transcribed -

after meditation during my daily one and a

half hour train commute to Washington D.C. -

one of my earliest divinely inspired notes

of guidance titled The Crystal Path To The

Heartlight, I have realized that crystals would

be a major component of the message I would

be asked to convey. I have received notes about

the crystal path, the crystal self, crystal conscious-

ness, and now this Meditation Guidance below 

titled The Crystal Light. 

 

Granted, I have read the works of David Bohm,

former associate of Einstein, since retired

Professor of Theoretical Physics and his theory

that the universe is constructed on the same

principles as the hologram. The word hologram

means "whole message" and Bohm proposes that

every particle of the universe is composed of a

hologram of the entire universe, which as a whole

makes up what Bohm calls the Implicate Order -

the enfolded universe.

 

Likewise, I have been writing Book Three of the

series  where I am presenting my own "Theory of

Universal God Consciousness" while meditating

daily for guidance on what to include,so this type

of a message is not a shock. What is different, 

making me hesitate to publish the note, is that it

clearly conveys that our existence is a result 

of refracted light through a crystal. On the other

hand, it does offer a fresh approach to God

consciousness, so here goes. 

 

THE CRYSTAL LIGHT 

We are living and existing in the crystal light

of God consciousness comprising the universe –

containing the universe itself – all matter –

all space within is refracted light illuminating

the creative intentions of God – we – you – me

all exist in this consciousness as creative energy

evolving, expressing, and becoming more –

expanding the nature of God.

 

At the edges of the universe is the crystal nature

of God holding – growing – becoming – with light

streaming through this crystal fabric – this

hologram shell representing all life, all matter,

all space, all time - and within creating what we

see as the visible universe.

 

All appears real to us in this three dimensional

illumination - as tangible, whole, hard, real.

Within is the universe of holographic light –

each particle of all matter is a hologram of the

whole. Within the creative forces of God intention

exist as if separate – distinct but are merely the

individual elements of this whole. Living holograms

within – connected - one particle of God’s dream.

The basic premise of my work and the key concept

conveyed in New Thought literature, is that we are

in some way always connected to God and as a result

connected to the force of creative energy that emanates

from God. As I have asked these questions during

my meditations I am often given an explanation 

of this unique spiritual connection between God

and humankind. In the following Meditation Note

titled Unified Universal Force this connection

is clearly defined.

 

UNIFIED UNIVERSAL FORCE

Always connected to God you are encompassed in a force

beyond all comprehension – a force consisting of the creative

energy of all life and matter in the universe directed towards

empowerment, growth, and continued creation. This unified

force of all universal life and form is connected and made one

by the love of God. For God is all of this life force and more -

so much more that we cannot comprehend.

 

Unified life is the connection of all existence within God –

a blade of grass in a universal field of intention and growth

As a human being you have this connection to divinity –

you are a part of a magnificent growing and expanding

energy of God. Within this connection you can become part

of God and move towards the qualities of God like Abraham,

Moses, Jesus, Buddha, and Mohammad who became more

like God as they acquired the divine nature within. You can

never become God for apart of the whole cannot become 

the whole that it is part of. Jesus moved to this God nature –

divine nature - and obtained power over the forces

of creative life. This connection to the Unity of all life

is the creative connection behind the laws of attraction –

all co-creation.

 

Unified with all as a facet of God- you have the power 

to be like God and create a heaven on earth through love,

positive thought, and centered emotion.

 

You are connected to the power and love of God!

As I was reading the Upanishads I received this

Meditative Guidance titled All Connected that

I would like to share with you. As you read you

will see that I was certainly impacted by my

Hindu spiritual reading. But I feel this guidance

went on to help me better understand the

teachings of the Hindu mystics who wrote

the Upanishads over two thousand years ago.

 

ALL CONSIDERED 

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

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

of the divine connection with God within the self –

connected to the God selves living now or

transitioned. It is this connection of self-force

that creates the power and energy of the divine – 

the divine self – the divine soul. 

 

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

fears and indoctrination of a lifetime of separate

self-training sees our self as separate and not

part of the whole divine soul.

 

In God we are alive and connected to the divine

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

energy and forceand easily travel through this

connection – via the Heartlight into the hopes

and, dreams, desires, and creation of selves –

all living kind and experience the essence of the

divine connection.

 

Connect to your divine self and connect to the selves

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

through this connection and explore the mysteries

of life and all existence – explore the divine within

you and all existence – One In God.

In response to my  many questions regarding 

how God Consciousness is structured and

works, I received the Guidance below titled

God Thought.  Let me know your thoughts. 

 

 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's thought.

 

We live within God – all we experience in this

collective God-consciousness – which our limited

consciousness is based – is founded 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.

The Venture Out Affirmative Thought below entered

my mind one line at a time, and as I transcribed

I wondered where it was going and what it meant.  

As is my habit,  I copied the note and put the copy

on the kitchen table and delivered the original

note to Ann with her tea. 

 

As Ann was dressing and I was making my usual

P and J on a muffin, I glanced down at the note and

my mind fixed on the phrase "your inner magnificence."

I thought to myself, what does the word magnificence

really mean? In what seemed like an instant this

answer came into my thoughts. 

 

        The magnificence is fully realizing, living,

        being, and touching your own divinity -

        you and God living in full, complete,

        and purposeful, harmony.

 

As I grabbed my journal and wrote the definition

down,  I thought it made perfect sense, for truly 

what would be more magnificent or enlightening

than living in oneness with your own God nature -

In complete purposeful l harmony. As I pondered,  

I remembered that I had once received Meditation

Guidance that I had titled Magnificence.

 

VENTURE OUT

Venture out beyond the confines of

    your day - today -joining  life as it pushes

the boundaries of what is anticipated

    or expected – edging your way

to a clearer and fuller understanding

    of your inner magnificence.

 

Venture out and discover the thought

    just forming on the horizon of

your consciousness – a new thought –

    a vibrant thought so compelling that

once created it cannot be abandoned

    but must be welcomed with open

arms into being.

 

Venture out into the light of fresh

    existence – endless possibilities –

wondrous potential knowing you

    within have the seed of greatness

growing – that you are the bloom

    of the infinite creation.

AT G. 3.16.2012

 

MAGNIFICENCE

Magnificence – see it in your life – understand

what this word means in terms of spiritual

growth and development. To be Magnificent

is to be beyond expectation, possibility, to

be God-like in your very nature.

 

Magnificence is magic in life, the purely divine

in life waiting for your ability to conceive its

presence. Something magnificent is going to

happen if you are ready and able to accept

and receive it. It is Magnificence beyond

conception – so special – so profound that

it is beyond comprehension.

 

Living life as fully authentic – being who you

are and were meant to be; is Magnificence.

Being able to feel the love of God – understand

God’s place in your life; is Magnificence.

Moving beyond your ego and adopting the

qualities of God; is Magnificence.

 

Understand the connection of all humankind

as a combined force – a billion hands creating

a greater force for creative life; is Magnificence.

Fully loving all these hands; is Magnificence.

Looking into the face of life and seeing the divine –

the Magnificence that exists and awaits you.

This is the pure spirit of God infused in your

life and the life of the whole of humankind –

the creative life of man.

 

Listen. Watch. Something Magnificent is

happening – in every moment of life –

learn to see it – feel it – be it. Love it.

The aspect of my spiritual blog work I enjoy

the most is the constant element of surprise

in terms of what I will be blogging or writing

about on any given day. Most of my writing

is what I call inspired, resulting from

meditation or direct requests for assistance, 

and, transcribed without editing, except

for book passages which I have a tendency 

to labor over until they are publishable. 

 

This morning, I wanted to be sure I had time

to write Ann's note so I started with it first; 

the inspired Affirmative Thought below

titled The Answers came to me. I transcribed

it, hoping it would make sense to Ann, which

it did and moved on to do some spiritual

reading before meditating.

 

THE ANSWERS

The answers you seek are within you

            at the level of your soul – existing

as part of the divine spark, which

            motivates you to ask the questions –

while already knowing the answers –

            doing so, to assist with your growth,

development, and transformation.

 

The answers you seek are presented in

            every real-life experience – each lesson –

a living dream with meaning – directing

            you to discover the intended message –

a revelation – an obvious clue enabling

            you to unravel the mystery of your

authentic spiritual potential.

 

The answers you seek may appear before

            even the question has been formed

within your conscious mind – so simply ask:

 

“What message does this life experience  

convey, what am I to understand?”

 

and the true meaning will be revealed.

AT G. 2.19.2012

 

I decided recently, that I should start

to read some of the guidance I have 

received on a daily basis. So reaching

for the black moleskin journal, where

I record my meditation guidance,  

I opened to a meditation note titled

The Question. 

 

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

an excellent opening - almost tailor-made -

for a key chapter of Book Three - of the 

Finding God On The Train Story series

to be titled  The Soul and God Consciousness -

The Divinity Within Us, where I want

to incorporate my God-inspired messages

in a framework of the existing scientific and

mystical thought. Answering the question

posed in this guidance provides an ideal

framework. So this morning I started

the morning with the answers, and ended

with the question. 

 

THE QUESTION

The question is this – are our thoughts truly

creating the reality we are experiencing,

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

This is the most profound question of our

individual conscious impact on this reality 

we perceive. Are we merely pawns immersed

in the coincidences and whims of fortune, 

or are we active agents of creation. 

In this, what is our relationship with God?

 

Is life a cruel irony where self-will meets, 

the enormously more powerful, happenstance

or existence and eventually accepts its place?

Or is the human mind a purposeful and 

potent creative interpreter and designer 

of the reality it perceives? And if we truly 

possess this power, why have we not 

realized it and have begun to use it for 

our benefit - creating heaven on earth?

 

This is the question we must investigate,

research, and by so doing, determine our

divine nature and potential. To answer

this question, we must find the truth

already uncovered by psychology, physics, 

philosophy, theology, and metaphysics –

using the perspective of both the scientist 

and the mystic alike, which may enable

and allow us, using a Rumi phrase,

to peak beneath the skirt of God.

 

This is our mission – so where do we start -

with the relevant guidance that has been

revealed to date. Use this, as a credible

starting point and venture onward.

We, us, humankind, who forever exist

as the erupting force of viable life, let us

know this: from the very moment of first

consciousness our ancestors ripped

at the light of the world surrounding them,

harnessing what was reachable to create

a more sustainable foundation going

forward.

 

As we, in our lives now, add our footsteps

to this road, venturing onward, we must

contribute, not tentatively, but with our

whole-hearts, knowing the very existence

of future existence depends upon

the nurturing of this eruption.  

 

Let us each wade through the morass

of our unique lives, clearing away

the lethargy, stretching to discover

what sparks we might ignite;

what fountain of life we might inspire;

what wonder - personally and collectively

as a family of beings – we might erupt.   

 

LIFE ERUPTS

The road is crisp

       with becoming;

            worn bare and clean

         by the footsteps

               of the multitudes,  

                     who ventured onward,

                  with clear dreams

              and overwhelming hope,

           with faith as a shield,

      determined to reach,

              beyond the constraints

                   of nature, of God, of man,

               envisioning a life robust,

       enticing, fertile with possibility,

                just waiting for the planting

         of their souls, eager

               for the sweat of their effort,

                          knowing, it is in this place –

               at this moment,

                                          life erupts.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

POEM G.  6.10.2016

 

SPARKING A FOUNTAIN OF YOU

Scintillate, being the spark of new life,

flashing forth the pure blessing and

energy of being, here, alive, on earth,

emitting the essence of you becoming,

share the exploding purpose of pure

and worthy intention, a soul bursting

with possibilities – sparking arcs,

connecting, conjoined with life partners,

to create and recreate now, fresh,

patterns of presence, existence. 

 

Scintillate, with each motion, movement,

endeavor, shine forth the astounding

wonder of your individualized creation,

share the sparks of love, the creative

genius, the uniqueness of your offering,

allowing passion and purpose to ignite

and light the way, knowing the material

and kindling for this combustion resides

within you, now, release it now,

protecting each eruption, as each spark

pierces the darkness, until combined,

a fountain of light, of you, sustains us all.

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.

 

Today, I asked for God to direct my creative work

as I finish Book Two of the Finding God On The Train

Story. This was the response.

 

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 finger tips 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.

scope - (noun) 1. the extent of the area or

subject matter that something deals with

or to which it is relevant: 2. the opportunity

or possibility to do or deal with something:

(verb) 1. assess or investigate (something):

2. North American Informal – look at

something carefully. 

  

Daily living is all about making distinctions, 

differentiating the incoming stimuli, labeling

what is experienced, comparing  and contrasting

each stimulus, to identity, sort, and file it away

for current, or future action-based choices.

 

I often find myself focused on what I am attending

to at the moment in my life, rather than what might

be beyond it, creating it, or fostering it.

 

From time to time, I receive guidance, like the note 

featured here titled Scope, clearly urging me on to

expand my awareness, to stretch my spiritual field

of vision, to perceive beyond the simple reality

I live through and with each day.

 

For some of us, our current spiritual scope maybe

all we desire at the moment, our existing connection

with God fitting our actual needs, not requiring any

further stretching or expanding our perspective.

 

I guess the question requiring some attention

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

what are we seeking to achieve with our spiritual

quest? And based on this answer, if we believe

it appears warranted, we can assess what type

of scope adjustment needs to be considered.

Then perhaps, the note offered below, might

serve as a starting point or framework.

 

SCOPE

Scope is an essential aspect of the quest 

for a positive, personal spirituality.

Scope – the depth and breadth of any 

earnest pursuit of clarity or truth; a more

encompassing perspective; a more focused

intention, one allowing us to peer beyond

the limits of the periphery, stretching our

field of vision, our comprehension, the

elasticity of standard or expected conscious 

possibility, accepting full well the folly 

of material, concrete, solid; conscious and

aware no such a distinction exists; here now,

our scope is broader, blending the dimensions

of reality with imagination, secular with the

mystic, tangible with the forming and formless:

and now with this ever-broadening scope, we

begin to reveal the true nature of being,

the continual incorporation of all with all,

a borderless, boundaryless wash of watercolor,

where this is attached to that, as our scope

unravels the folly of distinction, separation, 

uniqueness – knowing only oneness, absolute

unity.

A key to living an Authentic, Purposeful Life is

finding meaning in our lives. I believe on both

a spiritual and human plane life is a quest for

meaning – a search for purpose – an answer

to the “why” of existence and in the end, this

answer, is a catalyst for infusing a sense

of mission into living. This meaning and

the resulting mission allows us to obtain

the most from life.

 

FINDING MEANING

Life without meaning is like taking a journey without

a destination; it is pointless because you will never

know if you have arrived. Knowing where you are

going and why you want to go is essential to a 

purposeful life. Infusing meaning and purpose

into your existence breathes energy and power

into your life.

 

Evolving this purpose into a “mission” – a strategic

plan for living, one that you live with passion,

dedication and complete focus is the true elixir

of life. This strategic plan or mission or quest

will enable you to get the maximum from life

and provide you joy and happiness from just

living.

 

This meaning and mission can be spiritual or life

driven – when both are blended together the power

of your commitment will enable you to move 

mountains – cocreate and manifest all you need

to succeed. Finding meaning and creating a mission

to lead the way – will also provide you the feedback 

needed to adjust your efforts.

 

Authentic, Purposeful Life is built on establishing

a mission infused with meaning, passion, and

desire – a mission beyond yourself but of yourself.

 BUT THEN

 I wonder, God,

    how you stand existing

        within my tired frame,

    worn and cracked

from too many taut days -

    ah, but then, I realize,

    this is all my illusion,

not yours.

Poem G. 8.14.2012

 

Sometimes this spiritual quest gets

too complex, and I am the first to

forget the basics; that is, being

prepared to connect with God, in

the present, through meditation,

prayer, and contemplation.

 

It is within these meditative moments

where we master the skill of mind

control, clearing away the debris of

our egos and our noisy lives, to meet

the true consciousness of God, always

ready and waiting in the now.

 

So when I came across the note

featured below from 2014, I decided

to publish it, as a gentle reminder,

to all of us, of the basics.

 

THE FIRST STEP

The power to clear the consciousness

is available to everyone, simply by

using the techniques and approaches

honed by thousands of years of earnest

effort, one errant thought at a time.

It is a basic meditation practice, with its

focus on the breath, returning to this

breath when thoughts surface – allowing

us to lay the foundation, training our

minds, so our awareness during practice

will determine the flow and focus of our

attention.

 

For some, this may be the first experience

with mind control – allowing thoughts

to surface, but upon review, choosing

to withdraw attention, returning instead

to the breath and our meditative focus,

thus laying the groundwork for a breath

focused mindfulness, available during

meditative practice, or anytime we choose

mindfulness as our criterion for awareness.

Purposeful Action which, based on my guidance,

includes living an authentic life that reflects our

spiritual mission. I consider this a purposeful

life, or as the title of the Meditative Guidance

outlines below, a New Life. This Purposeful

Life or New Life is awakened life – enlightened

life.

 

NEW LIFE

Search out and move towards New Life –

regenerate a fresh and loving perspective

of this moment and all moments to come.

New Life is fresh, renewed, vibrant, whole

and free of ego dominance.

 

New Life is awakened like, enlightened life.

New Life is full and overflowing with potential,

creativity, and wonder.

 

Immerse yourself in New Life – a new existence

through God – full, abundant, and joyful. 

See the New Life as it manifests into being.

Each moment offers the opening for a move

to the New Life – you must free yourself

to see the New Life and move your spirit to it.

 

In the secular physical world of illusionary

action you fight for position when surrender

is required. New Life begins with the complete

acceptance of what is – fully non-resistant

of the current life.

 

The New Life waits – move to the power

of its momentum and grace.

THE QUEST

We are each on a spiritual journey, both individual

and solitary, in search and pursuit of our own divinity –

the God which 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.

As we have discussed,  the focus of the message

of  Finding God On The Train Story is that

we and God interact through a shared

consciousness, and as a result, as the note

below conveys. a “logical” outgrowth of this

conceptual framework that we share:

a combined existence teamed to make the

most of our endeavors and our lives." 

This, of course, is facilitated, and the

benefits of co-existence maximized

when we  actually buy-in to this

framework.

 

Likewise, this notion is built on the

premise that every living being has

an inner divine nature and connection,

that even with flat out negation, this

divine connection cannot be turned

off or severed. Thus, the opportunity

for this inner divinity to assist even

the totally lost with reclaiming their

redemption.

 

We, who believe in combined being,

are in a unique position to actually

cocreate with God our lives of joy,

peace, love, and happiness – heaven

on earth. Others, will benefit from

God’s close proximity and ability

to assist when possible.    

 

COMBINED BEING

The lasting partnership of total oneness

asks for only acceptance, a willingness

to be one with the enveloping consciousness

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

and pull of complete awareness.

 

This consciousness incubates and fosters

the individually perceived awareness,

seen by most, as distinct and separate.

Spirit is with you as the air you breathe

is with you, dislocation, separation is

untenable, impossible; yet many conjure

a distance between the created and

the creative force of all.

 

Understand that Spirit, the infinite

awareness, through the soul, provides

the framework for a lasting partnership

of combined being, able to live and

be a united unfolding presence, open

to engender form from well-intentioned

thought, to partner in the cocreative

wonder of living, being, becoming.

My quest for a positive, personal spirituality has

required my acceptance that the standard notions

of God must be questioned if a workable notion,

at least for me, is to be ascertained. From

time to time, I like to share the Meditation 

Guidance I have received that continues

to clarify the God I have found on the train.

 

If we start with the premise that God is,

in actuality, a consciousness, then the

Mediation Guidance below referring to an

evolving consciousness of God would be

tenable, for would God not also be learning,

growing, evolving, and expanding along with us.

 

My point here is to offer the message

I have received as another perspective

for consideration, not to convince anyone

that my perspective is the only viable one.

 

Your thoughts are always welcomed.

 

GOD EVOLVING

God is an evolving purpose in a fluid world,

an intention that grows, expands with each

breath,  reaching out, stretching all life forward

in an effort of becoming more, fuller, integrating,

infusing, connecting to obtain a more perfect

potential. This is the ongoing creation, forming,

reforming, learning as it has done since the

beginning of the original becoming.

 

This energy, this evolving purpose is the force,

the source of life with each creation, every cell,

every particle, everything working in perpetual

progress. This is centered in the consciousness

of God that one day awoke to the potential for

a more perfect life, a fuller existence, and has

since worked to allow life to form and reform

into a workable possibility guided by the individual

desire of each for growth, for becoming their

true possibility.

 

Humankind is an extension of this effort,

the culmination, allowing the consciousness

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

to flourish in a perfect, yet still evolving form –

the extension of God's purpose in actual existence.

Let us realize our significance as we expand

the consciousness that has created us, as we

contribute to consciousness through our

efforts and intentions and as a result truly grow

all life, and actually grow God.

 

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

in the becoming, pushing towards our own

evolution, our own potential reaching to be

the personification of God-consciousness,

becoming God entities focused on individually

and collectively expanding the parameters

of all life.

 

Grow with diligence!

 

WITH LOVE, G.

PIECES OF GOD 

Everywhere I go

there are little pieces of God,

by gathering them together,

perhaps, I will see

the whole picture,

or at least,

like a puzzle partially

completed,

a rough outline will appear,

and I, with a little patience,

can imagine the rest.

POEM G. 3.26.2014

 

In my opinion, a key to a viable spiritual

quest requires the tenacity to find our own

unique perspective of God, which, in the

end may sync with a traditional concept,

or be something altogether distinctly

different, as indicated by the note below

titled, The Origin.

 

This Meditation Note is the answer to

my direct question, during meditation,

regarding the origin of God. Now, this

response may be impacted by an idea

I have been considering, or better put,

fixating on lately  – what if God-conscious-

ness was not the originator of all existence,

but evolved out of the very consciousness

of all existence - formed out of evolving life

itself. What if God, is basically, all existing

consciousness - plus, all awareness - plus,

everything awake - plus.  

 

THE ORIGIN 

I want to say - look beyond the horizons

and into the life, breath, and pulse of man.

 

Here, within, exists the beat of a living God,

the anointed desires of all existence, made

manifest by a single intention: this sliver

of purpose formed from a consciousness

combined to be something more than the

sum of its parts; a primal force realizing

random exist0rs would not transmit a

greater destiny than mere being.

 

Here is the transcendence into an organized

being, a conscious entity formed and fed

from the totality of each thought, sense,

feeling, aliveness, and in turn, growing its

beingness, reaching out to foster the well-

being of all nature, striving to navigate

the parts towards a more viable, pertinent,

and self-sustaining existence.

 

Here is the origin of everything awake.

Although God communicates with us through

our own language, expressing in the terms

and idioms and icons we most understand:

perhaps God’s language is the first language

of sincere expression, primarily vibrational,

emotional, intentional as the note below

conveys, and we – if we really listen with

our full hearts are capable of translating

this communication into our own words

and symbols. Perhaps, our literal brainware

has been engineered to translate this God

message, and does so, if we will intently

listen, with faith, for its song.

 

THE FIRST LANGUAGE

Within deep consciousness, we speak

in emotions, vibrations, intentions

rather than words that require learning

and translation; we speak the first language

of sincere expression – feeling – the intensity

of expression spoke with and through 

the heart; moving via the Heartlight;

sounding and resounding and rebounding

and reverberating through time

and levels of space – across dimensions: 

this is the communication, the language

of the cosmos – listen intently, heart-focused,

and it is possible to hear the sounds of aware

life expressing, listen even more completely

and the messages will find expression within

and through you, as they have and continue

to do, as this note validates. Today, again

place your ear to the tracks of the cosmos, 

listen for its song - sonorous and lush.

NOTE OF TRUTH

Perhaps the solutions we seek in life are

within our grasp, there within us all along,

too exhausted after days of fierce wandering

to voice a plea for warranted attention, or

overcome by schemes and hapless strategies,

sounding mute against the ebb and flow

of internal dissension.

 

So let us again turn our gaze inside out,

refusing to be tricked by our own magic,

the ego’s slight of hand, delving into the

disorder of extinguished life for the note

of truth we so carelessly let slip from our

focus, to be crumpled underfoot waiting

for this day of atonement.

 

As we calm our shaking hands, flattening

out the message for earnest deciphering,

let us work to nobly approach this truth

with open arms and an accepting heart,

knowing time enough remains for even

this undertaking, and strength enough

will come forth to bolster even this quest,

if we have the courage to pursue it

undaunted.

Beneath the passion play of human existence,

exists nature, the natural, God’s world,

the simple order.  It is often easy to confuse

our constant state of human eruption with

what came first. When we settle down, rest,

meditate, dream, space-out, pray -  we can

reconnect with and join this order once more,

realizing we too are part of this simple order.

 

This morning, as I prepared for meditation,

I opened my journal to the note below that

I recorded a few years back.  As I read it,

I felt a sense of calm, of peace,  and I wanted

to share it with all who might benefit

from a pause in the holiday season hubbub.

 

A SIMPLE ORDER 

Tangible life erupts in mysterious ways,

like a fire at the end of a long evening,

a flash here, a spark there, a burst

of blue light ignites only to be snuffed

out by a gentle wind, lost in the embers

of its magnificence.

 

We live in discrete but connected

particles of consciousness, moments

always quietly present, simple, silent

reflections of our inner state of peace.

 

Reflect on the moment that surrounds you –

a slender song of opulent life calmly being –

no rush – no impatience,  just a simple order.

 

No need for doing – just enjoyable reflection –

life turning on its own pace – enjoin

its presence –  its nowness – listen

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

to its place – its God-given existence –

no harm – no foul – just the simple glow

and the hum of life eternal - being.

 WITHIN

It is all within us, heaven on earth,

love and wisdom, truth – unity – God,

everything we seek, all that we desire,

aspire to, stretch to obtain – the power

to heal ourselves as well as others;

the enlightenment; the transcendence;

the very infinity we struggle to comprehend;

all history; all evolution; the cosmos;

consciousness; all levels of comprehension; 

full and utter existence.

 

Yet, alongside this, is the murky,

the fearful, the anxiety, the suffering,

the hell unattended, the pain carried –

our own and that of our ancestors –

the chaos of wanton desire, our animal

natures, our monsters, our confusion,

our despair.

 

We must submerge ourselves deeply

within our conscious, subconscious,

and unconscious awareness; using

contemplation/prayer/meditation

to find our way; to find a way to order

our own “allness” for a more positive

existence, for our own being, for our

own becoming, for our own clear vision.

NOE G. 2.12.2017

 

It is often difficult for me to ascertain

which transpires first, a certain spiritual

obsession, or the daily message/guidance

that may have referenced the notion in

the first place; creating a sort of spiritual

“chicken or the egg” conundrum.

 

Two spiritual concepts have captured my

obsessive attention recently, both incited

initially, I think, by guidance received

during my daily meditations, and finally

morphing into the note offered above

titled Within.

 

First, is the very concept that we - as

individual, physical, spiritual beings -

are all-inclusive, a sort of mobile

hologram representing all that exists,

or has ever existed, within the cosmos - 

including God. Not a novel concept for 

New Thought adventurers, but one that

has suddenly stunned me, forcing me

beyond my reason-based comprehension,

into a vaster conceptual context.

 

I have, as of yet, been unable to fully

verbalize this clearly, but let me attempt

to express my swirling thoughts as the

following. 

 

We each, individually, contain the

creative life force that is necessary to

not only perceive the cosmos, and

through that perception establish

its existence, but also to use it as 

the multi-dimensional canvas upon

which, through which, we individually, 

as well as communally, create a work

of art so enormous, so momentous,

so profound, we, if aware, must

shutter at its magnificence.

 

Although I struggle here to convey its

essence, I know this gift of structured

existence demands our attention,

requires our comprehension, and

beseeches our skillful use. 

 

As the note above conveys, this power

within also includes our capability

for healing, started briskly with the

following simple declaration:

 

“the power to heal ourselves

                   as well as others”

 

Healing has been the other spiritual

concept that has occupied my thoughts

recently. And frankly, this power to

heal should not be a shock to me,

given that all of New Thought was

founded on this very idea of spiritual

healing.

 

So, I would like to share some of my

recent thoughts regarding healing,

with the understanding that this topic

deserves its own chapter in my book

(good idea!), or maybe its own book,

to ensure full coverage.

 

I will start with a controversial insight –

that is, healing, in my current thinking,

is determined by the faith of the person

who is being prayed for, not those who

are praying. What is important is that.

the prayed for person is aware of all the

wonderful loving, kind people who care

enough to pray; and it is here where

the larger the number of "prayers" stokes

the importance of the experience.

 

Likewise, recent research has shown

that the patient’s belief in the healing

medicine, elixir, placebo, operation,

procedure, potion, prayer, ceremony,

festival, statue, or sacred location;

as well as the patient’s belief in the

physician, healer, priest, shaman –

is most accentuated and beneficial

when the curing procedure is performed,

or offered, in a way that creates what

the patient will emotionally perceive

of as a “profound healing experience.”

 

To use modern healing practices as an

example, when we walk into a major

medical facility for a healing procedure:

our minds register the significance

of the facility, the doctors, the complex

healing equipment, the reputation

of both the medical staff and the hospital

as a healing entity: all of which enhances

our (the patient's) healing belief, as well

as our expectation of a curing experience -

actually fostering a positive medical

outcome by ensuring a “profound healing

experience.”

 

In other words, this healing experience –

its ambiance, its personal/spiritual

significance to the patient, even its

magical nature – coupled with the belief

the procedure will work, heightens

the overall possibility of actual healing.

 

So, what I am saying here, is that the

patient’s belief in the healing element

or process, when administered by what

is perceived of as respected authority

able to create the desired outcome – when

coupled with the potent demonstration

of a “profound healing experience,” not

only enhances the actual healing potential

of the patient, but may, in and of itself,

trigger a healing process within the patient.

 

This goes a long way to clarify why a

vast array of medical science-based 

research studies report actual, tangible,

healing results within their placebo

control groups. Perhaps the very protocol 

of the research study is triggering

the internal belief based healing system

of the test patients by providing this 

"profound healing experience." 

 

For example, a recent television advertisement

for an injection that reduces the number

of migraines for those who suffer from 

fifteen or more per month, offers an

explanation in small print at the bottom

of the screen, that those who received the

actual injection had nine to ten less

migraines per month on average, while

those who received the research placebo

injection experienced six to seven less

migraines monthly. This is what is known

as the Placebo Effect - actual healing from

a control substance or procedure that has

no actual therapeutic value.

 

It is easy to extrapolate that belief based

healing is a viable healing process, and

that we each could tap into, or benefit

from, respected spiritual healing experiences,

of course, as an adjunct to already respected

modern medical procedures.

 

I have been most impacted and excited by

the feature focus of the December 2016

issue of National Geographic – the cover

title exclaims The Healing Power Of Faith.

This insightful summary of healing research

titled Mind Over Matter, by Erik Vance,

with amazing photographs by Erika Larsen -

fully outlines this significant research

regarding faith-based healing. I have

shared a link to this article below:

 

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

 

Thank you for allowing me to discuss

my two current obsessions. What makes

this spiritual quest so exciting is that the

wonder never leaves us without something

to mull over, and over, and over.

OUR DETERMINATION

The strength of existence lies in determination,

the ability and willingness to continue onward,

forward without delay or hesitation, with a sense

of hope for what may only be a dim notion,

a hunch, an inspiration calling us towards

a greater and more potent good; beckoning us.

 

It is with this element of faith that existence

has been forged and formed, chiseled from

dreams and insights, thoughts and fantasies

alike, causing rational beings to forgo

a cautious now for the prospect of a riskier,

but more worthy tomorrow.

 

Every creative impulse and act is a reflection

of this yearning and learning process,

a bubbling up of possibility persuading our 

smoldering desire to catch flame and ignite,

to form something from an extension

of thought, to use our sweat, our strength,

our determination to fulfill the destiny

of our evermore worthy existence.

WONDER AT THE MAGIC OF INTENT                                               

Life is magical, amazing, and beyond what is hoped

for or conceived.

Feel and see the magic, the uniqueness of each person,

event, thought, item. Experience the magic in each moment –

how it connects and reflects your mood – your thoughts –

your emotions. 

The magic exists and comes from the orchestrated, creative

force of our collective intelligence, divinely guided by Spirit.

See how it all fits in – a wondrous coincidence that is without

coincidence.

Nothing happens – it all flows from the magic of thought,

desires, and wants manifested into the world.

Feel the warmth and the light of the sun through the window

and wonder at the wisdom that manifested this spirit –

this ball of life giving energy. This is the magic –the magic

is everywhere – for like a magic trick –behind the magic

is divine will directed by collective good intentions.

Wonder at the magic. The magic is rooted in your ability

to manifest our reality – to create it brick by brick and

have this reality unfold and interact with the reality

of others – and finally – be divinely intertwined

in the manifested reality of all life.

 

As you attract and bring the world to you, receive as

you believe, joining with the wills of others. Together

this magic comes together to create all life – a harmony

of cocreated existence. Look deep within the magic,

behind the curtain, in the hat, and you will see purposeful

reality – no coincidence – all related – all positive creative

force intent on evolving.

Much of my spiritual life is spent listening,

and then it is occupied with interpreting

and understanding what is being conveyed.

At times, there appears to be a theme or

concept connecting what I am inspired to

write and record.

 

In late March of 2017, I received the Meditation

Guidance below titled New Ground.

 

NEW GROUND

 

We attach ourselves to the function of things,

to the sequence of things, to the process

followed, the ritual required, hoping

to find structure, concreteness, an order

where only fluid change exists – eternity,

where only impermanence abides; today

let us release our grasp and allow the fiction

of control to ease, moving toward looser,

more spontaneous paradigms; mindful,

aware, stretching each moment by truly

being in it, engaged and ultimately unscripted,

a free range being, without role, egoless,

forsaking the comfortable for new ground,

virgin, fertile - requiring the shedding

of repetitive being.

 

NOE G. 3.29.2017

 

I rarely ever receive guidance that

is not in some way personal and related

to my life. When I received this guidance,

I was drowning in my own output, still

going strong writing my book Finding

God On The Train - Notes On Enlightenment –

with well over seven hundred pages, still

seeing no end in sight.

 

I needed to step back and seek new ground.

This new ground, if fully embraced, would

require a radical shift in my consciousness:

most notable; the desire for permanence;

the need for control, the ability to just let go –

and the most difficult, at least for me,

choosing spontaneity over preparation. 

 

Being spontaneous rather than prepared,

almost beyond by graduate business school

and professional conditioning to comprehend,

let alone actually do. My favorite phrase

underscores the challenge of this note

for me, to live -

 

“ultimately unscripted,

                  a free range being.”

 

The second offering below, Free The

Fireflies, is an inspired poem from

an April 2017 meditation.

 

FREE THE FIREFLIES

 

It is the ramifications of fierce expectations,

formed in off moments with fleeting desires

that limit and spoil our possibilities;

forever taking infinite possibility,

truncating it, squeezing it

into our preconceived containers,

our goal-directed edict, our years

of misguided conditioning –

like fireflies jarred

on a summer night,

these bits of magnificence

lose illumination and darken,

only to fade from existence

and our grasp.

Let us endeavor to shed our forethought,

expecting less of ourselves, others,

life itself -  learning to live, to be again.

 

POEM G. 4.30.2017

 

Again, a plea for more spontaneity,

as well as the elimination of expectation

and forethought, moving toward

the “shedding of repetitive being.”

Offering, for me, a rather radical

approach:

 

“expecting less of ourselves, others,

            and life itself.”

 

What I like most about these two notes,

is that they convey what has been the

spiritual wisdom of the ages for those

seeking enlightenment – expressed in

a more soul catching garb, difficult

for me to ignore or dismiss.    

 

In all of this, I was able to see a fresh

approach for my book with too many

pages: a series of three books instead

of one. More about this on the blog

and upcoming posts.

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.

FRUSTRATION’S RECONNAISSANCE

Frustration occurs when reality conflicts

with expectations, when outcomes fail to

materialize, when the hoped-for morphs

into the uncalled for, when visions blur

and desires contend, reflecting the antithesis

of wishes, dreams, reflections, and even

prayers.

 

At these times confusion and bewilderment

rage like a fire across a dry forest; dumbfounded

we assess our damage, berate our intelligence,

dismay at the research and apparent thinking

that has forged our choices, energized our

actions, only to result in heartfelt frustration.

 

Yet, does this turmoil not provide a message,

a spark of reconnaissance worthy of proper

reflection, perhaps even the gem of insight

required to shift our strategy, reformulate

our paradigm, clearing the way for a more

profitable and workable solution going

forward – a spark of genius.

A sign, a vision, or a miracle is our co-creation

with the outer mind channeled through the inner

mind, this local mind, our mind, is always framed

and fashioned by us as the participator, the originator;

intending with a concoction of desire, intent fused

with emotion, and emboldened with unequivocal

belief.

 

Beingness - the unfolding consciousness we exist

within, originate, construct, intend - embodies

the traces of our active living, our participation.

Like an artist, we lay down our strokes of living

flashes of brilliant color and substance, meshing

them with what comes before, finding a blending,

expressing a fuller presence with each dab or

stroke of our brush.

 

The significance of these traces we form,

which fashion and contribute to the evolution

of humanity is expressed in the Note On

Enlightenment shared below.

 

Let us tend to our traces!

 

TRACES

 

Form, function, façade – traces of what

was, is, or will be, impressions etched

upon the very fabric of being, the essence

of aliveness, faint or fully stamped,

clear or hardly visible, impressed being

resonating a sonar-like clang through

the ages - encased in fuller consciousness,

a contribution, an antecedent, accessible

when summoned.

 

These traces exist beyond the very act

of tangible living, like the beats and patterns

of a distant melody, the embers of fire long

since abandoned, ashes of memory, the bits

and bytes used but now discarded, yet always

present when envisioned, available once again

for useful reflection, recall, or remembrance.

 

These traces are the legacy of being,

existing, living in life unfolding, charged

by the passion, the emotion of aliveness –

vibrations of striving, creating, grasping

for a foothold in eternity, the scent and smell

and sweat of pure involvement, total emersion

of right intent and desire, purposeful then,

resounding forever as traces etched and

recorded in the memory of consciousness,

a notable, global, universal contribution

to the communal, combined magnificence,

the earnest evolution.

pivot – noun - the central point, or shaft

on which a mechanism turns or oscillates.

 

verb – (pivots, pivoting, pivoted) 

turn on as if on a pivot. (pivot on) depend on.

 

Life pivots on the present moment; for every

moment we exist – every moment we live –

we are presented with, as the note below

conveys, a pivot point. I believe it is exactly

within this moment, this pivot point, where

God exists, where we actually exist, where

all consciousness exists.

 

We each must, on our own, recognize

the opportunity offered by these present

moment based pivot points, learning how

to maximize their utility and as the adroit

basketball player often accomplishes:

stop dribbling, set one foot firmly as

the pivot, and then, swivel to reposition

our future efforts for more effective and

positive living.

  

THIS MOMENT

 

With every moment we are presented

with an opportunity to be more,

to choose our own unique direction,

to interpret our existence, to perceive

our future and manifest its very essence,

to lay the ties and trestles of this momentum,

to alleviate our suffering, to flourish

even with our burdens in tow, to soar

through our real or imagined constraints,

manifesting our magnificence.

 

With every moment comes a point of choice,

to propel forward or shrink into the malaise

of our fears and concerns, to boldly say yes

to life and living, to hold our worthy vision

before us, and with each deliberate chisel

stroke give this vision life and vitality,

thinking it into worthy existence – creating

a more wholesome and flourishing reality.

 

With very moment an opportunity, a choice,

a personal, spiritual refinement, renewal –

a chance to peer within, to grasp our purpose,

our meaning, allowing its significance

to stoke our enthusiasm, summon our joy,

as our purpose aligns with our will – life

synchronized, harmonious, as God’s love

assists our efforts, preparing the way

to our rightful destiny.

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.

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.
