OUR HUMAN, SPIRITUAL EVOLUTION 

If we, humankind, evolve – we evolve into our

true spiritual capabilities, able to comprehend

the true power and essence of our individual

and joint communal existence, our innate ability

to cocreate our lives, our existence, our destiny –

to use our consciousness to envision an even

greater awareness, a more potent potential

for all of perceived existence.

 

The true nature of intended thought will then

be fathomed, along with the actual intertwining

of human consciousness with even the most

subtle nature of what is experienced, the link

between human intention and the actual

beingness experienced; reality understood

as a joint demonstration of the intentions of

or by the observed.

 

As we evolve, the emergence of our joint human

consciousness, an amalgam of all sentient life

that has existed, exists, or will exist - providing

compassionate wisdom, brilliance, creative

foundation for the human universal growth and

expansion of connected life throughout the cosmic

domain.

 

Our destiny depends on this essential evolutionary

awakening – this reconnection to our very spiritual

center, to a time where the missteps or learning

of this now, will be understood as a necessary

developmental step; as we understand our true

divine capabilities and natures; arbiters of heaven

on earth and throughout all conscious existence.

Jalal ad-Din Rumi (1207-1273)

Poet and Founder of the Mawlawi Sufi Order

 

Ye who search of God, of God, pursue.

Ye need not search for God is you, is you!

Why seek ye something that was missing

ne’er?  Save you none is, but you are –

where, oh, where?

 

The desire to separate humankind from

God, and all sentient life for that matter,

becomes more difficult as we explore

the spiritual concept of God as an

expanding consciousness.

 

Although the quote from Rumi above,

demonstrates what has been a popular

esoteric mystical opinion - we and God

are one - the exoteric religious authorities

have, for the most part, considered this

to be anathema, heretical, often severely

punished. 

 

This may be a reason why I usually sit

on this type of guidance – note that I

recorded this guidance below mid July

of 2013 – and have not returned to it,

until I rediscovered it this morning,

and felt ready to delve into its meaning.

Usually, I would rather not offend

the sensibilities of those who cannot

fathom, or discuss, this close a union

of the divine and humankind. Just so

happens,  Ann, my wife, is firmly in

this group.  

 

Yet, in truth, most of my spiritual

work has been finding and redefining

a less supernatural, more user friendly

God, one that might fit within our modern

perspective. I believe the note below

is proposing  just such a conceptual

framework. Your thoughts?

 

ONE PRESENCE SHARED

 

We and God are intertwined.

We and God are intermingled.

 

A shared consciousness, where our

consciousness exists within the limitless

consciousness of God, stretching

the space of all conscious existence –

we and God are one, God within,

God without – together, we and God –

the creator of all form (which exists as an

extension of our joint consciousness)

are intertwined.

 

Form is simply, and totally, a representation

of the creative thought of consciousness,

and as such, has no innate power. Always

in matters of form, we must return to the

originator and the origination of our sense

experience – creative conscious thought.

 

Let us fully comprehend and grasp this

essential truth of comingled consciousness;

sharing the combined power of truly dual

conscious existence, expanding  our

consciousness and revealing the truth of

all existence, one presence shared. Seek

the point of origin in meditation, reflection,

and prayer.

 

Understand, it is only through our personal

conscious connection with the world of form

that God can impact or interact or experience

the world of form. As God is a vehicle of our

expanded consciousness, we, you, me all

sentient life is a conduit for god to form

consciousness, for mutual, total, integrated

existence. Each sentient being is a conscious

receptor of and within tangible existence.

 

(If we do not open ourselves up to this God

connection, God cannot fully enter our world

except through grace.)

It is Sunday night, after watching a Hallmark

“Christmas in July” movie, Ann grabs the

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

see what happened today," fully expecting

and hoping for an uneventful news cycle.

 

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

watching the gruesome news that three

Baton Rouge police officers had been shot

and killed earlier in the day - assassinated

while responding to a bogus call from an

out of state attacker, with at least three

other officers seriously injured.

 

The conclusion to one of the worst weeks

of carnage I can remember in my lifetime,

a week full of terrorism, racial hatred,

political unrest, and just plain madness.

Quite frankly, our world was unraveling.

 

So, I wake Monday morning and meditate,

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

might constructively respond to, approach,

and hopefully, eventually, circumvent this

ongoing pattern of daily disaster.

 

The response, listed below, titled Wrong

Reflection at first seems clearly escapist,

but after some consideration, I realize

our current fixation with violence in all

forms, as well as the anger, hatred, and

institutionalized meanness, requires a

radical reconceiving, at least on the

spiritual level, hopefully helping us to

stop attracting and perpetuating our own

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

vision, a more purified reflection: a world

of sanity rather than violent extremes –

a world worthy of refection.

 

WRONG REFLECTION

 

Look away, divert your focus,

refusing to entertain the tragic

consequences of the ,wrong reflection,

the work of madness given form

by frequent rumination, refusing

to speculate on the ways and means

for fixing what is broken, and instead,

reflect actively on what is desirable,

positive, worthy and valuable: stepping

within this vision, clarifying even

the minutest detail, feel the refreshing

breeze of hope, of compassion, empathy

returned; letting it surround you, flush

through you, breathe it in until you are

one with it; know this conscious vision

will, slowly, erase the despair, when

held in unison with all those who choose

harmony, peace, and compassion –

forthrightness; look away, divert

the focus, each and every time it hurts

your soul; look away and within until

this shared vision takes tangible form;

until kindness resurfaces one magical

moment at a time, until, like a wave,

a new presence forms, restores, and

revitalizes this existence, this life.

This morning, while meditating and attempting

to focus my mind, which was fixated on all the

projects and efforts I have yet to complete or

finish, I began to shuffle through the images

and impressions of the year, and a question

captured my attention; simply put the question

asked:

 

Have you grown this year?

 

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

I have grown older and much slower,” as

I prepared to brush it off as an annoying

interruption. Again, the question was restated:

 

Have you grown this year?

 

After a few more of these iterations, the guidance

kicked in to make its case.

 

Have you grown spiritually? Have you made

progress on your quest - gained insight?

Have you grown emotionally? Are you more

compassionate, kind - caring; are you more

patient; are you more loving; more empathetic,

encouraging – are you moving towards

“the being” you know is needed for the evolution

of all existence.  

 

The guidance also suggested that I leave behind

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

clothes, and encouraged choosing to move into

the new year fresh, open, ready to continue

the expansion of my spiritual self.

 

During my business career I was faced with

an annual self-assessment, to be completed and

reviewed with my manager during my performance

evaluation. This was taken very seriously, so it

required a great deal of objective thinking.

 

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

expressed as a connection with God-assessment.

Have I moved closer to God this year, has my

relationship with God improved, or have I allowed

the strains and obstacles of life to inhibit my growth?

 

The answer is not as important as the recommitment

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

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

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

 

WITH LOVE, G.

Sometimes I am directed back to something I

missed in my quest, or possibly knew but may

have forgotten, or have overlooked.

 

As a person who suffers from chronic back pain,

resulting from my Lumbar Reconstruction

in 2010, I had what is called a Lumbar

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) procedure

yesterday, where with the use of some very

advanced technology, my pain management

specialists are able to use radiofrequency energy

to disrupt nerve function, so the nerve can no

longer transmit pain. The pain management

team just calls it a burn, referring to burning

away the pain producing nerve for a year

or more.

 

A few weeks back I had the right side of my

lumbar spine done, and since it significantly

reduced my pain on the right side, I was back

in an operating room with my pain management

team having the left side done.

 

Ann, who sat patiently, but hungry, waiting

during the procedure in the room where I had

been prepped – having had delayed eating lunch

so we could eat together after the procedure,

since I am required to fast for at least six hours

before the treatment.

 

Ann has been with with me through three related

procedures leading up to this, two to determine

if this RFA concept would even work. After about

an hour, with the RFA procedure completed,

I returned to recovery, and after another hour,

Ann was driving me to Cracker Barrel for our

very late lunch, and later driving me home.

Ann made sure I was comfortable at home,

since she had to return to work.

 

Although we have Direct TV for the Sunday

Ticket, our internet has been very slow,

so I switched my internet service to Comcast

and had them installed their fastest internet.

Bundled with the internet service for a

nominal charge was the ability to connect

one TV to Infinity programming. So I switched

my office TV at home to Infinity. After a review

of the options, I decided to subscribe to what

I feel is a New Thought oriented channel

offered by Infinity called GAIA TV, which

offers a plethora of spiritual programs and

related movies.

 

Still a bit groggy from my procedure's calming

medication, I decided to watch something on

my GAIA spiritual channel. I selected a highlighted

movie from around 2011 titled I AM, The Shift

Is About To Hit The Fan produced by Tom

Shadyac, famed filmmaker of movies like Bruce

Almighty, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Liar Liar,

The Nutty Professor outlining his quest for sanity

in his own life, especailly after a serious cycling

concussion, which underscored for him the need

to radically reconceive his life. Below I offer the

You Tube version of The Trailer for the movie.

 

https://youtu.be/H4iArJec58M

 

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

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

to make a visit to the Institute Of  HeartMath

located in Boulder, Colorado, whose electro-

physiology lab has revealed that our EDG

(heart rhythm) physically changes as our

emotions change. Shadyac admitted in a

later interview that he thought the HeartMath

Institute would be too far out, ending up a

quick visit. Instead it becomes a major part

of the film’s content

 

As I am watching the movie, I am thinking

that this is too familiar, as I remember that

over ten years ago, during one of my train

commutes, I read a book tiled The Intelligent

Heart - Transform Your Life with the Laws

of Love, by David McArthur and his father

Bruce McArthur who were now on the screen

outlining their research on how the heart

rhythmically responds to our positive emotions

such as love, compassion, kindness – sending

a message to the brain and the body of these

emotional shifts.

 

As with positive emotion, negative ones like

anger, hatred, intolerance, despair etc. also

are communicated. Based on this research,

the heart is often the first responder, not

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

an external wavelength communicating these

emotional shifts to the world.

 

What the HeartMath research is conveying,

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

center of our emotions, rather than our intellect.

Expressing that we are constructed to share and

react to the emotions of others, via our hearts

 

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

our chests would heave at the latest fortune or

misfortune on The Hallmark Channel’s series

When Calls The Heart, that I had finally convinced

Ann to binge watch with me, even though she

thought it might be too sad.

 

I turned to her and said tearfully, this is what

the HeartMath research is pointing to: our built

in heart centered compassionate and empathetic

response to experiencing the joy, or the suffering

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

her eyes saying; thanks!

 

I replied, that I thought programs like this touch

our hearts, helping humanity strengthen their

heart muscled based compassion, this loving

response, so needed in this our modern age.

Ann still has her doubts, but she agreed to

keep watching.

 

So this morning, while meditating on my back

deck, I received the following inspired guidance

titled Heart Awareness. This sort of  follow-up,

I believe, happens whenever the original spiritual

communication needs some reinforcing – just to

make sure I have not missed “the arranged”

point of it all.   

 

HEART AWARENESS

 

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

it is the mind of our feeling life, always beating

a rhythm, circulating the fertile blood and nutrients

of our beingness, expressing what is being felt, or

even about to be felt, within our feelingness,

communicating throughout the body and mind,

as it signals out to the surrounding consciousness,

a heartlight connection, an expression, able to be

clearly perceived by others.

 

Our hearts are beacons of our soul based emotional

expression, acutely attuned to the feeling and life

experience of those around us, connected to us,

throughout the world. As others experience joy

and elation, so too do we share the same rhythmic

expression, as others suffer, we too share in this

suffering.

 

Our hearts are our genetic centers of life

connected, of our truly evolutionary essence,

leading us to our true survival law – the law of

compassion, empathy, kindness, connectedness –

the realization that through love, we together

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

a world, a universe having the innate biological

framework to step beyond our differences, our

intolerances, our false thinking and feelings,

embracing that we are hardwired for well-being,

flourishing, love, and contentment – not just

on an individual basis, but on a collective

basis.

 

Work to strengthen this heart centered gift,

to evolve personally, and as you do, collectively –

living by the heart’s rhythms – its grace –

its innate wisdom.

The past few weeks have been a blur,

literally, as we took turns as the patient,

first Ann, then me – were forced to realize

that flu vaccinations do not necessarily

mean you will not get the flu, although,

most likely, not the one you are protected

to resist, but instead, some genetically unplanned

for next of kin that has gone under the radar.  

 

Although, on the positive side, this medical

hiatus has proven supportive for spiritual

pursuits, especially prayer and meditation.

Given the extra time, attempting more

intensive meditation seemed to be a viable

option.

 

When I decide to, as I call it, to go deeper,

I always prepare the way with prayer,

explaining what I am about to do, and what

I want to accomplish. I ask for God’s assistance,

especially when dealing with the occasional

negative thoughts, images, memories, or

whatever might be unleashed.

 

When I did, I received the note below titled

Dive Deep– an example of what over the

past ten years of my quest, I have recorded

as inspired guidance and have termed

as Notes On Enlightenment(N.O.E.’s) -

to reflect that these are responses I receive

when I ask for God’s guidance. I consider them

inspired because I write down, or transcribe,

what comes to me, word for word, without

editing. As the note below explains, and most

mystics have conveyed, deep diving offers

its own spiritual treasure.

 

I close this post with a poem/prayer

titled, The Hum.

 

DIVE DEEP

 

In the vastness exists all things, all that was,

all that is, all that will ever be: allow it to flow

unchecked, go with its currents, tides, allow

the waves of awareness to wash over you and

through you; observe without judgment, for

in this place, qualifications, expectations,

judgments are needless, wasted energy –

observe and move on when unappealing or

distressing, languish if desired, dive deeper

if desired, for this is the basis of life itself in all

its vagaries, vicissitudes, the essence of passions,

of desires, of strivings, of successes, and of course,

of failures – hopeless or needless blunders – yet

more important – the reachings, the yearnings,

the outstretched hope for more: what lies ahead,

the next step, the possibility if only, if only all

things are aligned – and when they do or are –

the expression of unbridled joy – the hallelujah

of existence. Dive deep, dive often and be

transformed.

 

NOE G. 2.6.2016

 

THE HUM

 

In your grasp, I am one,

    flesh made whole,

        soul within a greater soul,

            waiting, appeased by

nothing less than clear,

    complete immersion,

        to drown away this

            worldliness, this focus

on folly, to cleanse away

     this desirous appetite,

        left only with the hum

            of self-contained peace,

the original selfless

    soul of pre-emergence,

        one, one, once more.

FULLER LIFE

 

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

struggle and movement on this earth. Fuller life

is not more of what you have but is conceiving and

seeing what exists around you.

 

What is your heaven on earth? Would you recognize

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

in full enthusiasm – loving abundantly and becoming

your authentic self. The squirrel moving across

the lawn is not divided within itself – it has one

purpose – live life to its fullest – pushing boundaries

at times – taking risks but being a squirrel.

 

Being fully you – is authentic life – not the you

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

but the you God has empowered you to be. Move

back to this and start exploring from there.

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

dreams. What impedes progress towards being

fully you?

 

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

created from our past desires: learn to live and

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

The Upanishads, as translated by Eknath Easwaran,

my favorite version of this spiritual scripture, which

features the teachings of the Hindu scriptures from

the Brahman period about 500 BCE; considered

as one of the 100 most influential books ever written.

 

I find the Upanishads fascinating because they focus

on the universal spirit (Brahman) and the

individual self  (Atman). The Brahman is the

ultimate, both transcendent and immanent,

the absoluteinfinite existence, the total of all that

ever is, was, or shall be, which I would call God.

 

Through our individual self – which is divine - we

are all connected to the Brahman. Anyone who has

followed New Thought will recognize that the Atman

is often referred to as our Christ Nature  or divine

self, which is connected to the universal mind

or God.

 

I would like to share with you this Meditative

Guidance below titled All Connected. As you read,

you will seethis guidance goes on to help us better

understand the teachings of the Hindu mystics,

who wrote the Upanishads over two thousand

years ago.

 

ALL CONNECTED

 

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 all 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 force, easily traveling through this

connection – via the Heartlight - into the hopes

and dreams, desires, and creation of all 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.

THE QUEST

 

We are each on a spiritual journey, both individual

and solitary, in search and pursuit of our own

divinity – the God who lives within us – the God

we are and will always be. Each life we encounter

along the way is involved in this becoming - whether

realized or unaware.

 

It is your spiritual mission to allow this journey to

unfold within you as your divinity within – deep

within – pushes you towards the fresh breath

of new life – maneuvering your soul through

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

and even at times –  resuscitating the divine you,

pounding on your chest until a heartbeat appears

and a gasp of consciousness is surrendered.

 

This awakening is not easy – it requires the

resolution of the conflicting voices in your mind –

the demons of your own journey to be faced and

overcome in the effort to create a sort of symbiotic

coexistence in a united attempt to reveal your own

identity and evolve. This divine becoming requires

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

life – to die to be reborn anew – personally evolved

and one with God.

 

God truly waits within for you to arrive.

EVERY WORD

 

Every word you speak, hear or think impacts

your reality, consciousness, and emotional

well being – fostering growth and empowerment

when positive – or when negative, violent, or

ego-driven – destabilizing you - throwing you

off balance and creating turmoil or anxiety.

 

The Subconscious Mind only reacts and

cannot distinguish real from fantasy, setting

the emotional protection system on high alert –

readying your body for fight or flight – even

when the experience is not real.

 

Every word you speak, hear, or think should

be positive, affirming, and purposeful rather

than toxic or mean.  Avoid gossip and unkind

remarks regarding others, and instead, refrain

from commenting or thinking of your opinion –

know by doing this – you avoid the ego’s

destructive behavior – separating rather

than uniting yourself with others.

 

Protect yourself from watching negative

experiences on the news, avoid basking in

the pain of others, the perceived turmoil

of the few – avoid the pain created for the

pleasure of viewing.

 

Make every word, every thought, and every

experience reflect what you wish to create and

make alive and attract into your experience.

Learn to reflect only on the joy, peace, love,

and happiness you encounter and you will

obtain your heaven on earth.

FULL PROSPERITY

 

Prosper and find the full wonder of existence.

Prosper in all you think, feel, and do.

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

Prosper spiritually, physically, and emotionally.

Prosper and reap the full bounty of the

abundance of your life.

 

When you prosper you are in a state of continual

grace – receiving always more than you need –

more today than yesterday. Prosperity is a state

of growth, positive creation, and getting more

than expected while always moving forward.

 

Prepare yourself for full prosperity. The first step

is to believe – believe that you are worthy, deserving 

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

reflect on, and visualize the prosperity that

surrounds you. List and meditate on how you are

prospering.

 

Prosperity requires the full alignment of your

conscious thoughts, expectations, and emotions

focused through prayer, affirmations, and

meditations. When you are thriving and growing

in a positive direction you are prospering. Feel 

prosperous – feel the prosperity.

 

To prosper is to move forward with the world in

positive alignment, supporting your wants, and

growing on the foundation of your current

existence. It is an explosion of grace, a continual

gift of growth and good fortune.

 

Prosper spiritually and move closer to the path 

where you are in alignment and true harmony

with your authentic self. Feel the growth and

rejoice.

 

Prosperity is now – here – walk around the corner

and claim it.

Book Three of The Finding God On The Train Story

series focuses on exploring the human soul and how

it relates to and interacts with God Consciousness.

The note below, aptly titled Personal Consciousness,

takes us deep into this relationship and provides

guidance on how we can reveal and expand this

divine connectivity.  

 

PERSONAL CONSCIOUSNESS

 

Before the beginning, there was only

God Consciousness – Universal Consciousness -

where now your Personal Consciousness exists

as a bubble of viable, evolving intention, allowing

the life as you know it to exist and be experienced 

within -  giving it tangible form and solidity –

forming it, expanding it into the existence

you now are aware of and accept.

 

Personal Consciousness is protected within

the sea of God Consciousness – receiving

nourishment, guidance, and inspiration, yet,

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

or without God connection.

 

Personal Consciousness expands or contracts

to match individual desires, conception, or

intention. At the same time, it is the pathway

or portal to the interconnectivity of Universal

Consciousness with the ability to connect to the

collective creative power of all who exist or who

have ever existed.

 

During meditation and prayer allow yourself

to experience and journey within your Personal

Consciousness – expanding your vision –

revealing the true center of your existence –

push towards knowing how you exist within

the sea of God Consciousness – allowing the

edges to fade – the boundaries to disappear

until you feel God wash over you – feel

the sincerity of pure love enfold you – and

from this point work on strengthening

this conceptual connection until you touch

the true center of gravity.

As I was exploring my guidance related to building

and maintaining a positive mental attitude, 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 often

carelessly neglect during living.

 

When the negative mind dominated by the ego

takes charge, we 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

 

Let us reset our minds for success and understand

that our negative – fear laden thoughts – through

the Law of Attraction and Mind Action will be

reflected in our lives.

 

This is the process of cocreation and manifestation.

When we invest strong emotions in our negative

perspective, we speed the process, for what is

manifested with strong emotion, is surely attracted

when presented to the Universe.

 

To break this cycle, we must reflect on positive,

successful, fulfilling, and meaningful outcomes -

seeing these as possible and expected. When we

expect good with strong emotion, we 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 us.

 

Remember God, through the Law wants

to manifest our strongly held desires and does

not analyze, judge, or critique. Remember

Jesus’ words –“Ask and You Shall Receive.”

 

So right now, we need to reframe every thought

into positive aspects – fully supported by strong

emotions and we will begin to reframe the reflection

of our minds, which is “Reality," into a positive

force for success and abundance.

 

All of this is within our scope and our power,

as we recreate our lives.

What if  humankind is still in the process of

evolution, where the focus is no longer on

physical development but instead is centered

on the refinement and improvement of our

level of personal consciousness?

 

Taking this a bit further, what if our

next evolutionary step is a movement 

towards overcoming our ego dominance

and attaining what some would call -

godlike qualities - such as love, kindness,

compassion, a collective sense of oneness, 

and empathy along with the powers to cocreate 

our lives freely through conscious intention

supported by our own access to our divine

natures? In other words, we evolve into our

true God natures.

 

The meditation guidance below titled True

God Qualities addresses this potential; 

clearly outlining the rationale for this 

evolutionary step and highlighting what

qualities we might expect to encounter.

 

This is a concept that has been addressed 

by others, as noted by the the work of Pierre 

Teilhard de Chardin - Jesuit Father and

a distinguished paleontologist who over sixty

years ago addressed this very theory in his

landmark work The Phenomenon Of Man.

 

My guidance seems to echo the same sentiments.

Is it plausible? Is this where the current spiritual 

awakening is leading us? I believe this is the case. 

Your thoughts?

                 

TRUE GOD QUALITIES

 

We are here to assume our true God qualities

and powers by overcoming our own propensity

for negative thought, neglect, hopelessness

and evil by marshaling our divine wills towards

greater achievements, authentic living, peak

spiritual experience, and our connection with God –

refueling our potential to live beyond the illusion 

of material pleasure and grasp the greater good 

of collective consciousness.

 

We are here to transcend - to transform

beyond our infantile focus on the acquisition

of pleasure and the avoidance of pain – to reach

a pinnacle of human excellence and evolution

ensuring our God powers and qualities are

recognized and grasped by those who wish

to go on growing, becoming, moving towards

their authentic natures.

 

We are here to create heaven on earth - not

hell as it appears many are engaged with today –

our conscious focus as a collective humankind

on this heaven allows us to move forward, grow,

and assume our true birthright – our authentic

God nature of power – cocreation – and love in

balance  - all supported by positive purposeful 

action.

 

Although many have careened in the opposite

direction there are a growing number of those

who have grasped this message and are moving

in this divine direction – working hard to prepare

themselves consciously for the catharsis of heaven

focused living.

Horror: an intense feeling of fear, shock,

or disgust: a thing causing such a feeling.

A literary or film genre concerned with

arousing feelings of horror: intense

dismay, intense dislike.

 

Horror, whether real or fictional, seems to 

surround us, attracting our attention with 

its scope and intensity in the news, or

turned into entertainment; especially

prominent and graphic in the electronic

games that occupy our time - as our chitchat

focuses on the pleasure of watching shows

featuring hardened criminals, homicidal

maniacs, brutal warriors, and a host of the

living dead.

 

The note featured below, opens with an 

instruction to turn away from the horror.

I do believe, that for us to evolve, on a

personal basis, or as the custodians of

existence on this planet, we must find the

wherewithal to refuse to participate in

the perpetuation or promotion of our

existing culture of horror: replacing it

instead with one of wholeness, clarity,

beauty, loving-kindness, and sincerity.

 

TO ENGAGE

 

Turn away from the horror, the disappointments,

the pains of existence – move, instead, towards

the wholeness, the pure completeness of a life

capable and inspired.  Know you, and you alone,

hold the key to clear, unencumbered existence –

fresh life – forming, reforming, being a being

of wonder, a beam of pure transparent light –

know you carry the essence of all existence

within – so release the stumbling blocks and

reach, fully extended, to grasp, to engage what

waits before you – find the frame of reference,

hold it in consciousness, become the incubator

for clarity, sincerity, purposefulness, passionate

existence – open to be, to receive, to become,

and to engage, fully, your destiny.

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.

 

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 the Finding God On

The Train Story - 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

a Sunday morning 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.

There are times when the evil that surrounds us 

 

is incomprehensible; we are surely experiencing 

 

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

 

name of God is just unfathomable.

 

As the note, I share below reminds, a meme

of evil has gained a foothold, as our global

culture has chosen to promote all things dark

and destructive as entertainment, our cultural

pastimes.

 

Although, we cannot personally stop these

random acts of global madness, perhaps

we can set in motion a new  focus, a viable

consciousness - a more wholesome and

worthy perspective.  

 

THIS MEME OF EVIL

 

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

and finds a place in the collective consciousness.

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

that forms the presence of turmoil, destitution,

avarice, heartlessness – only by grabbing hold

of the content of consciousness can we counteract

its forming and reforming, its gaining power and

presence.  We each must resolve to think it into

diminishment, starting with our own mind control.

 

This meme of evil has gained a foothold, and at

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

realize is that humanity is the generating force

of this dark, destructive meme, forged by lifetimes 

of fostering inhumanity and greed.

 

Today we feed the preservation of evil by opening

our psyches and our souls to a daily feeding of

media based demise, criminality, hatred, and

fictional homicide. Our culture is what now

represents us, and it is often dark and menacing,

brutal, unthinkable. The meme of evil thrives 

in our world of intolerance, hatred, and 

hopelessness.

 

We must consider, each of us, making it our

mission to reorder our thoughts and lives, basing

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

thriving, hope: turning the tide – restoring 

a consciousness of good, for all.

 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 this 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 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.

THE GIFT OF LOVE       

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

existence, all creation. Within love is the spark

of God, connecting, caring, totally immersed

in the beauty and wonder of creation, of all

life becoming.

 

Love is the elixir of God and under its charm

you and all life will flourish, grow, and reach

full potential.

 

Love is truly all you need – with it, mountains

can be moved, without it, nothing can be

created.

 

Love everything about your life and what you

are seeking to do – love the equipment you

use, the pen in your hand, the notebook

you write into.

 

Love the message – love those who read

your work and find a suggestion or an

answer.

    

Love the moment - love the opportunity

to be alive – creating and authentic. 

 

Love is the solution – love is the answer,

creating an environment of possibility

for all existence – for all creation.

Love your obstacles, love through your

issues and problems, love yourself into

success.

    

Love the positive and even the negative -

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

you when you lead with love. Make your 

first response and last response – love.

Cherish this moment: love the gift

God has given you and all humankind –

the gift of love.

Jalal ad-Din Rumi (1207-1273)

Poet and Founder of the Mawlawi Sufi Order

 

Ye who search of God, of God, pursue.

Ye need not search for God is you, is you!

Why seek ye something that was missing

ne’er?  Save you none is, but you are –

where, oh, where?

 

The desire to separate humankind from God,

and all sentient life for that matter, becomes

more difficult as we explore the spiritual

concept of God as an expanding consciousness.

 

Although the quote from Rumi above,

demonstrates what has been a popular

esoteric mystical opinion - we and God

are one - the exoteric religious authorities

have, for the most part, considered this

to be anathema, heretical, often severely

punished. 

 

This may be a reason why I usually sit on this

type of guidance, and have, until I rediscovered

it this morning, and felt ready to delve into

its meaning. Usually, I would rather not offend 

the sensibilities of those who cannot fathom,

or discuss, this close a union of the divine and

humankind.  Just so happens,  Ann, my wife,

is firmly in this group.  

 

Yet, in truth, most of my spiritual work has

been finding and redefining a less supernatural,

more user friendly God, one that might fit

within our modern perspective. I believe

the note below is proposing  just such a

conceptual framework. Your thoughts?

 

ONE PRESENCE SHARED

 

We and God are intertwined.

We and God are intermingled.

 

A shared consciousness, where our

consciousness exists within the limitless

consciousness of God, stretching

the space of all conscious existence –

we and God are one, God within,

God without – together, we and God –

the creator of all form (which exists as an

extension of our joint consciousness)

are intertwined.

 

Form is simply, and totally, a representation

of the creative thought of consciousness,

and as such, has no innate power. Always

in matters of form, we must return to the

originator and the origination of our sense

experience – creative conscious thought.

 

Let us fully comprehend and grasp this

essential truth of comingled consciousness;

sharing the combined power of truly dual

conscious existence, expanding  our

consciousness and revealing the truth of

all existence, one presence shared. Seek

the point of origin in meditation, reflection,

and prayer.

 

Understand, it is only through our personal

conscious connection with the world of form

that God can impact or interact or experience

the world of form. As God is a vehicle of our

expanded consciousness, we, you, me all

sentient life is a conduit for God to form

consciousness, for mutual, total, integrated

existence. Each sentient being is a conscious

receptor of and within tangible existence.

 

(If we do not open ourselves up to this God

connection, God cannot fully enter our world

except through grace.)

EVER EVOLVING WHOLE 

We are each the individual expressions of an

ever evolving whole, creating and becoming,

forming new the energy of an expanding 

consciousness, breathing each breath –

formless – faceless but alive – always striving –

always conceiving – always being more.

 

Our acts of individual creation nourish

the whole - pushing our boundaries and

the limits of the whole. The power of this

creative force is love – the love of the

initiative – of boundlessness forever

reforming, multiplying the collective 

energy of all humankind – all existing life.

 

We are truly the living spirit of conscious-

ness – bursting forth in an infinite variety

of magnificence. We are one and living in

this whole – the true living spirit of God.

 PATIENT PROGRESS

 

Our best effort comes through patient progress,

calm and sincere activity directed at the goal

but not dependent on a schedule or fixed

expectation, knowing this unfolding is a state

of continuous awareness, reflection, and inner

growth, a consciousness forming and reaffirming

with each step forward.

 

Often, we fixate on the merits of the immediate,

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

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

this instantaneous result will ensure success.

But what is the operating cost of the rushed

as opposed to the relaxed, the contemplative,

the quietly allowed to evolve?

 

This move to patient progress will require a fresh

paradigm of achievement, success, and winning:

a realization that full accomplishment needs

complete immersion in the doing, allowing God

and truth to provide the guidance, insight, and

inspiration – to reveal a more complete and

worthy outcome.

It has taken 13.7 billion years to create us;

the existing vanguard of conscious existence;

we must be sure to fully comprehend our

relevance; our essential nature in the

amplification of all existence; we the

pinnacle of sentient, conscious creation;

separate yet indivisible: the current medium

of all that is.

 

WE ARE THE MEDIUM

 

Worth, value, the essence of the meaning

or importance we attach to each aspect of

this life is presently determined by the value

of replacement, often failing to realize even

a moment of our conscious existence is beyond

value, irreplaceable, life in real time, a sliver

is infinite and finite at the same time, like one

frame of a film, a nanosecond projected on

screens of consciousness within our minds,

the three-dimensional backdrop of each passing

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

presence; we are the medium giving dimension

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

representation of what is outside of us, fooled

into believing the distinction - when all is part

and parcel of even a fuller more encompassing

consciousness: the unity, the all that is.

There are periods when I find it difficult 

to connect with my divine guidance; when

this occurs it usually takes me some effort

to determine what I am doing to impede

the process. I  have been in such a period

recently.  During these periods I do receive

direction, like I did this morning, when

my journal opened to the note below

and I felt compelled to read it, and publish

it on the blog.

 

As a musician, I realize the significance

of silences created by the composer,

instrumentalist, or improviser in a piece

of music; referred to as the “rests” –

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

a whole rest – designated portions

of time equivalent to the actual played

note lengths, where there is silence;

no sound is to exist. Of course, without

silence, there is no music, only a drone

of a fluctuating sound.

 

Perhaps, I am to understand and utilize

these periods of  divine “rest” or silence,

to listen to the eternal voice of the being

that exists, always within me, the message

and guidance of my own soul or divine-self.

 

WITHIN THE SPACES

 

Live within the spaces of consciousness,

between the overlap of spheres of influence,

space between the concentric circles.

Movement between the spheres is doable

after detachment from the fixed state of

personal consciousness. It is in the spaces,

the silences, between words, thoughts, ideas,

expressions – where the true genius exists.

The divine resides within the spaces, providing

the fabric of consciousness. Spaces between

the breaths, between the tones. Travel the

silent spaces.

 

Live within the spaces of existence, between

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

to erupt from the spaces. Listen to the voice

of eternal being within you, the message is

soft and appealing, one of unity – furtherance –

and continual transcendence. Listen to the voice,

the message so fragrant, it enlivens every cell.

 

Live today within the spaces – feel the presence,

the true peace. Stop thinking, feel it instead,

truly encounter the true amniotic fluid –

the moist substance of eternal destiny – here

for a brief moment before moving onto more

pertinent being – an existence framed in more

expansive consciousness, yet know your life –

this life, and all its wonder and expansiveness,

is the true test – the epic adventure forcing

all who participate to develop, evolve and

eventually transcend.

Positivity is at the center of New Thought and

our very well-being. We must remind ourselves

that our possibilities and opportunities increase

with positive thought, and correspondingly,

decrease when we focus on the negative.

 

I offer this Affirmative Thought below as

a reminder for all of us, to focus on heartfelt,

positive expressions today, and when needed,

weeding the garden of our minds.

 

HEARTFELT EXPRESSIONS

 

With positive spirits and open minds

    today, let us grasp the energy and flow

        of goodness in the world, perceiving

the hand and the touch of God's grace

    in all we encounter.

 

With positive thoughts and  firm resolve

    today, let us tend to the garden of our

        minds, weeding out the negative

perceptions, wrong thinking, and false

    assumptions; replacing each with loving,

        kind, and nurturing sentiments.

 

With positive visions and images today,

    let us reframe our stories, re-envision

        our prospects, recreating a present and

future worthy of our active living, founded

    in authentic pursuits, constructed with

        heartfelt expressions, supporting

our flourishing magnificence,

    our soaring transcendence.

My wife, Ann, and I often inhabit similar mental

states at the same time - this is especially true

when we both become confused about  our lives,

our careers, or how to approach a particular

issue. 

 

Ann has been confused about whether

to retire or not, so we could live permanently

in our house in the mountains of western

Virginia, rather then just visit on the weekends. 

 

I transcribed the Affirmative Thought below 

titled Confusion Into Clarity for Ann late

last week. which reminds us all that confusion

is a natural part of the solution process - and

that from this confusion comes clarity.

 

Honestly, my confusion started with how

to best approach writing Chapter 12 of

Finding God On The Train - The Book, 

which manifested itself in four different

approaches. The confusion has evolved

into what I would call "turmoil" about 

the whole project - with me questioning

whether I have  lost the direction, or 

passion needed to go on. 

 

These bouts are not new for me, and begin,

usually, when I find the "still small whispered

voice" very silent for a period of time -  periods

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

of prayer and meditation last week, I received

the Meditation Guidance below titled Storm

Of The Soul.

 

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

working through my malaise. Of course,

I would like to pretend that I am above this

sort of thing, but it  would not be true or

realistic. 

 

I have paired these two messages because

they are related, seeming to address

a similar root solution - listening to our own

inner, guidance for direction. They also  

underscore the importance of confusion

and turmoil in our evolving and growing.

 

     CONFUSION INTO CLARITY

 

Often we must enter into confusion

   in order to find clarity – experiencing

the conflicting thoughts and emotions –

  sifting through the endless fears

  and doubts – wishing for light as

we knock about in the darkness.

 

Often in the confusion, we must make

   our home for a while, knowing within

the cyclone - all potential approaches

   can be considered – all alternatives

   presented – all futures tried on

for size and evaluated – all emotions

            aired and given attention.

 

Often in the confusion we are

   strengthened – we awake again

to what is of value to our existence,

   wipe our tears, find our clarity,

then forge on towards our renewal.

 

AT G. 3.23.2011

  

 STORM OF THE SOUL

 

Listen to the turmoil – hear what it has to say

to you – understand its messages – decipher its

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

waiting for its turn, waiting for its ascension –

its anointing with the oil of your focus.

 

Listen to the turmoil – go within the mental

confusion, feel the cyclone of emotions and

desires swirl around and into your awareness.

This is a storm of the soul and it must be

experienced; assimilated, fully lived in order

to proceed on. Let it rage – accept its commotion

as a sign of deliverance, as a new beginning 

 forming in chaos.

 

Listen to the turmoil within – let it have its way

with you – let the ground of your consciousness

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

 creation within – bursting forth a new vision –

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

 

Listen to the turmoil within and it will make you

whole - complete – evolving your consciousness

to a clarity of being – a return to wholeness,

oneness, and tranquility.

My life is centered around connecting with

God, recording this divinely inspired guidance,

sharing it on my media sites and, when appropriate,

incorporating it into the book series.

 

 As with all seekers, there are times when the

"still small voice" is silent and I have learned

to take it in stride, looking for inspiration 

elsewhere, except when the silence lasts too

long in my opinion. 

 

I have experienced such a meditation guidance 

dry spell in the past few weeks, and I started

wondering is this it, have I received in the past

five years all that I was intended to receive.  

Day after day I have prayed and meditated,

but no still small voice, just silence.

 

Last night, before going to sleep, I prayed

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

a next level that I should be focusing on - 

perhaps another book series? Basically, a very

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

 

This morning, as I started to meditate, the first

sentence of the guidance below came to me over

and over in a louder and firmer voice than usual - 

"be the enlightenment you wish to see in the

world."

 

The words kept coming, line after line, so after

ten minutes I ended the mediation and began

transcribing what I was hearing in my head

into my journal, resulting in the guidance

below tilted,  Spiritual Activism. 

 

After rereading and reflecting on this guidance,

I believe this message is pointing to the next step

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

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

beyond the comfort zone and into true spiritual

activism. 

 

I believe God is clearly indicating that I have been

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

me to live the message. Your thoughts?

 

SPIRITUAL ACTIVISM

  

Be the enlightenment you wish to see in the world,

be heaven on earth, demonstrate and be the joy, 

peace, love, and happiness in tangible living form –

be the hands and feet of God in the pursuit of

spiritual transformation – change the consciousness

by being the consciousness you desire to manifest

through the world.

 

Be the enlightenment and actively step out one

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

creating joy, exhibiting joy, overcoming someone

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

you wish to bring to the world. Create joy.

 

Be the enlightenment by finding your own peace

within as you work to establish peace in your home,

with your family, in your community – pushing the

world – your world into peace through being a living

example of peace. Create peace by committing to at

least one peaceful action per day.

 

Be the enlightenment you wish to see in  the world,

the heaven on earth by loving without bounds,

without limits, through tangible acts of love and

kindness, broaden a smile into a gesture of love,

make room for loving yourself and commit to

spreading it to others  knowing you are connected

to all you see – love as God  loves without

qualification or expectation. Create love.

 

Be the enlightenment in action – in thought, word,

and deed until the happiness you seek  is the

happiness you give. Let others know the source of

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

connected with God, let them know that God wants

them to be happy by creating happiness for others who

are struggling or need assistance. Create happiness.  

 

Be a spiritual activist moving the concept of heaven

on earth into the reality of heaven on earth for the

world you inhabit – for your life and the lives of

those around you  - reaching out beyond to all who

would benefit from your efforts. Create heaven on

earth for all!

The circle has such a powerful spiritual and secular

sense to it - “the circle of life," the “circle will be

unbroken," or the Native American Indian’s focus

on “The Greater Circle,” as outlined in Michael 

Garrett’s book on the Cherokee Teachings for

Harmony and Balance, titled Walking On The Wind.

Garrett quotes the great Medicine Man, Black Elk,

who states:

 

You have noticed that everything an Indian

does is in a circle, and that is because the

Power of the World always works in circles…

 

In this featured Meditation Guidance, titled 

Circle Of Beauty, the unique spiritual nature

of the circle is touched upon, along with its 

connection to God and the soul.

 

CIRCLE OF BEAUTY 

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

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

of all existence. The circle is strong but flexible

and, although it can be increased or reduced in

size, it always maintains an outside, an inside,

and the line separating the two.

 

Your life is like a circle with the essence of you 

within the circle surrounded by the world and 

God, which gives you form. God is also with you

within the circle and gives form to the circle as

the external ring.

 

The circle is perfect, beautiful, and sacred.

The circle is power.  The circle is peace.

The circle is a spiritual symbol and provides

the healing which is needed. Consider the 

strength of a ring, the circle cannot be pulled

apart end by end; it must be forced apart with 

great strength. Every cell of the circle has a

vested interest in its own existence.

 

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

flourishing, creating, and becoming as God 

assists and supports - circles of healing,  

circles of prayer, circles of forgiveness, 

circles of faith, circles of love, circles of

magnificence – form these circles:

comprehend the circle and you will

understand God.

As I write Book Three of the Finding God On The

Story series, to be titled God Consciousness And

The Divinity Within,  I have spent hours reading

and rereading the guidance I have received over

the past ten plus years. As is also standard practice

for me, I have spent a great deal of time

meditating and connecting directly with God 

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

of this message, I often run across guidance that

now requires a fresh look and understanding like

the guidance below titled God Thought.  

 

GOD THOUGHT

We exist within the consciousness of God –

a subset of the whole – a personal consciousness

within God consciousness.  Our being, our form,

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

is God originated existence.

 

All we see or experience is simply a thought

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

this ocean of thought we have being, are conscious,

and we are bathed in the essence of God thought.

 

We live within God – all we experience in this

collective God-consciousness – which our limited

consciousness is based – is found in this divine

consciousness.

 

In the extended vision of God we get to explore

humanity – God thought manifested in full form

to experience this existence. We live submerged

in the creation of God thought – all made of the

same thought substance.

 

Within our  consciousness is an awareness of

this connection – this oneness of Universal God

force – the divine spark fully aware of its source,

its origin, and its destiny.

 

Within the collective God consciousness is the

power and energy to create personal human

thought, the gift of creative power allowing us

to be one in our God potential, to contribute

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

thrive, and create at the apex of God thought.

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

and its central role in enlightenment. Jesus introduced

the world to loving kindness and a personal connection

to God, but Buddha introduced the world to mindfulness –

being completely alive in the present moment. I would

like to start with a Meditation Note that I feel combines

both approaches with a New Thought perspective that

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

 

PERFECT MOMENT NOW

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

this moment coupled with each breath – clear – untarnished –

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

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

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

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

heart and breath of your lungs.

 

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

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

any experience you wish to create. Practice living in this

moment – mindful – and clear minded of each sense,

each breath, each emotion.

 

Hold this jewel – this crystal perfection in your soul and

look deeply into its reflection and you will see God –

the divinity within you – smiling and ready to move

towards your heaven on earth. See the face of God

in the crystal jewel of this clear moment and stay

with it always.

 

The past is just a memory – disturbed – the future

a premise –equally distorted by a frightened mind –

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

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

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

seek only in the perfect moment – Now.

MERELY A REFLECTION

Today, now, stop and realize that your life is

merely a reflection of your own mind created

by your thoughts and emotional energy. Your

desires – through thought, are manifested 

for you in creative union with God.

 

Understand, God does not override free will,

and in the infinite goodness of spirit only wants

to give you what you reflect on – God does not

judge the creative process but cooperates.

 

Know now, today you are both the author and

protagonist of this drama unfolding before you.

God has no vested interest in the story other

than to assist in its creation. Change the script

erupting from your thoughts – redirect the plot

and the reflection will change. You and only you

have this power – this central force.

 

You may ask why am I suffering and I would

say you are thinking, feeling, and living suffering

and God - with the infinite spirit of God and grace -

is cocreating with you. God has given you the Law

of Mind Action – the Creative Mind - the Law of

Attraction without editorial  control – without 

censorship since you have and have been based 

in free will. So ask and truly believe – God is

giving thought by thought – interpretation

by interpretation – unedited – uncensored.

 

Look at the reflection of your mind as portrayed

in your life and ask why this story may be important

to you. What does it reflect about the vision of your

life – what theme does it suggest? For in the plot

and subplots you may find the answer.

 

You must work to recapture your mind

and control your ego and your fears that are

preparing you for the worse and as a result

helping to manifest it in your story. Fear – 

lack of faith in positive outcomes – or belief

in a negative one must be understood and

reframed.

 

Today, sit and think and draft the reflection

you would like to be manifesting – build the

affirmations to support this reflection and 

think a new life!

GOD'S GIFT  OF LOVE 

 

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

existence, all creation. Within love is the spark

of God, connecting, caring, totally immersed

in the beauty and wonder of creation, of all

life becoming.

 

Love is the elixir of God and under its charm

you and all life will flourish, grow, and reach

full potential.

 

Love is truly all you need – with it, mountains

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

 

Love everything about your life and what you

are seeking to do – love the equipment you use,

the pen in your hand, the notebook you write

into.

 

Love the message – love those who read

your work and find a suggestion or an answer.

    

Love the moment - love the opportunity to be

alive – creating and authentic. 

 

Love is the solution – love is the answer,

creating an environment of possibility for all

existence – for all creation. Love your obstacles,

love through your issues and problems, love

yourself into success.

    

Love the positive and even the negative -

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

you when you lead with love. Make your 

first response and last response – love.

Cherish this moment: love the gift

God has given you and all humankind –

the gift of love.

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

between “belief” and “fear” and feature some 

Affirmative Thoughts and MeditationNotes that

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

find them helpful. 

 

First, an Affirmative Thought For Today.

 

              INTERNAL STRUGGLE

             Let us fully understand and be aware,

               that there is no struggle in our world

               that is not an internal struggle –

               fully centered in our minds and

               created by our thoughts.

           

            Let us fully comprehend that within,

                we have the power to reinterpret,

                reenvision, and reframe any conflict,

                struggle, or negative event, simply,

                by rethinking and realigning our thoughts.

 

            All we see outside is created from within.

 

            Today see only solutions, positive action

               and steady progress!

 

Next, I would like to conclude with a Meditation

Note that helps me conceptualize my internal

struggle between “belief,” on one hand, and

“fear” on the other.  

 

POWER OF BELIEF                                           

 

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

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

alignment and focus of your vibrational energy –  your

creative soul energy - and it takes a tremendous act

of  clarity and focus.

 

Belief requires that competing forces in your mind and

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

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

wedge and impedes the movement to total belief.

 

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

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

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

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

to reindoctrinate the ego - sooth and retrain the voice in

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

in the pursuit of the prize of enlightenment.

 

Utilize the ego, teaming with the ego in the pursuit

of full and total belief. Belief in yourself and your

capacity for cocreation - your capacity to harness

the power and create your heaven on earth.

 

Believe and it will be so!

 

WITH  LOVE, G.

resonate – produce or be filled with

a deep, full, reverberating sound;

evoke or suggest images, memories,

or emotions; technical – produce

electrical or mechanical resonance.

 

resonance – the quality in a sound

of being deep, full, and reverberating;

the ability to evoke or suggest images,

memories, and emotions:

physics – the reinforcement or

prolongation of sound by reflection

from a surface or by the synchronous

vibration of a neighboring object;

a short-lived subatomic particle that

is an excited state of a more stable

particle.

 

OUR RESONANCE

Our thoughts resonate; our emotions

resonate; our every attitude, enthusiasm

or inspiration resonates with a clear

vibration of ‘sound’ existence; being,

communicating, through the physical

and spiritual universe, an intention,

a purpose, a signal of possibility,

connecting firmly to all surrounding

existence a declaration of determination

which, in turn, creates like expressions,

a chorus, a harmony of continual becoming,

sounding, rebounding, resounding.

 

It is essential that our sonic

communication matches our desires,

our true intentions; the pure, positive,

productive voice of the reach for our

hopes and lasting happiness: fixing

on this tuning, rather than the fearful

tremors and dissonance of the discarded,

the unwanted, the resisted; those vexing

expressions of darkness, of pending

doom, with their unfolding stories

of possible, dismal consequences,

often replete with life’s suffocations

and sorrows – and instead, in place

of – let us draft a fresh story, a more

wholesome story, one of overcoming,

flourishing, singular transcendence

and true success – resonating a sound

so strong, so resilient it vibrates our

life, all of life, towards wholeness,

more-ness, stretching us upward,

propelling us in unison with a solid

declaration of growth.

When I receive a note like the one below,

I feel compelled to share its message.

I have, as many of you have, experienced

personal suffering in this life. Yet, even as

we are taken to our knees, as our tears

and words are mixed with a poignant – why,

we may realize that this is not a divinely

directed event, it is simply the nature

of this life, we now live.

 

I have come to realize that God’s place

is not to ensure that I avoid this suffering,

but that I am supported in overcoming

it when it does occur. And although you may

wince at me saying this, I can only point

to the note below for what appears to be,

at least for me, my answer.  

 

THROUGH EVEN THIS

We are not new; we are not old,

we are eternal, fully connected

to an infinite source of life and being,

a spark of divine purpose, intention,

one of an infinite multitude of positive

becomings, never alone, always connected -

a vessel of God’s wonder made manifest.

 

Today, work to perceive this very connection,

for it is - there, even in the turmoil,

even in the suffering, even in the bewilderment –

it is there to support you, comfort you,

enfold you in love and strength and hope,

to dry the tears, to support you up and over

the madness that may, now, envelop you.

 

Let this day be the first day of your

overcoming, accepting what is, with the

understanding that you are not alone;

accept God’s hand, rise, stepping onward

and through even this.

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

better descriptions of God I have encountered in

my spiritual journey. How would you describe God?

                                    

ONE GOD  

There exists only one God – nameless – formless –

faceless - all power – all wisdom – all life.

The creative force of the universe –universal life

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

exist. Through God the breath of life is given –

through God all minds are connected – all

vibrations set – all evolution transpires.

           

God is an energy of life – empowering and powering

all growth and development in the world. God is the

universal life force moving all  life to greater beauty,

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

ife force inside every cell of everything we encounter

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

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

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

alive – in full vibration.

 

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

all existence. Man can move towards God consciousness,

connect with the God self, and live within and with

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

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

Lao Tzu and the others.

 

Connect and become one with God – the one God –

the all – and the all less.

This week has been anything but peaceful

for me, yet I keep coming back to the thought

of peace. I believe the obtainment of peace is

at the center of enlightenment.

 

I also think my week has been a test to see 

if I can return to peace, even when my

physical world will not. In Science of Mind

magazine this month, I read a short but

wonderful quote from Ernest Holmes

the founder of Religious Science.

 

God is peace. We enter this peace

                in such degree

as we withdraw from confusion.

                   Words That Heal Today 

 

I was stunned by the line – God is peace.

To be at peace in our world it does seem

to take divine power. So when we find

a way to stay in peace we find a way to

connect with God.

 

We simply need to make a conscious

decision to “withdrawal” from the

confusion. This is clearly the message

of the following Meditation Guidance.  

 

SURRENDER TO THE PEACE 

Surrender to the peace within your soul and let

go of your struggle to God. Surrender and free

your tormented soul – free yourself and touch

God’s out stretched hand. Release and breathe –

let peace move through every cell – every fiber

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

 

Surrender to the divine magic within you – strong –

courageous – powerful – loving. Surrender the

negative thoughts and negative emotions that

suck your strength and serenity. Feel the peace

flow though your veins –moving through your

nervous center – through the circulatory system.

Breathe in peace – breathe out surrender.

 

Today join hands with God and enter the world –

calm – strong – patient – loving – knowing that all

that happens was always meant to happen.

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

 

Today with God move in peace, security, certainty

that all outcomes will be affirming and positive.

 

Today move with God in peace and harmony and

love and know all is well.

 

WITH LOVE, G.

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

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

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

everything that you touch turns to mush and you are

not sure why?  

 

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

know that “something magnificent is going to happen

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

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

of strength rather than weakness and approach things

knowing we are Strong, Successful, and Capable as the

title of the following note suggests.

                                    

STRONG, SUCCESSFUL, AND CAPABLE

You are strong, successful and capable – fully

prepared to carry out any requirement or need

in your life. In your core connection to God you

have a base of strength to utilize and depend on

when needed. This strength has resulted in your

successful partnership with God to create the

abundant, fulfilling life you plan. Stay on course –

do not be shaken and your success is assured.

 

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

to move into your dreams and unfold your plan.

You need to make  yourself ready by preparing

a positive, loving, and receptive environment

and protect this new life.

 

Today observe your approach and reactions

to this life and understand and eliminate any

resistance. Accept and  enjoy and love what you 

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

your heart to all that now exists and prepare.

PATIENCE

Have patience and let God work through your life.

Have patience and allow what is meant to happen,

to actually happen. Relax and wait without anxiety,

frustration, or anger. Open your mind to recovering

the full joy of the day and your existence.

 

Have patience, for patience reveals and affirms your

faith and belief in God. Your fear and apprehension

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

of patience causes you to take missteps and create

anxiety and ill will.

 

Lack of patience is disguised unbelief – it is not

letting God do the work that is necessary and right.

You want immediate action – immediate results -

but this is not possible.  Moving events quicker or

out of sequence is impossible.

 

You need to focus on the positive outcome that

you wish to appear, the solutions you request.

Vision or envision the solution you wish with

a force of strong emotion and it will be cocreated –

in time - within the flow of expectation.

 

Be patient, pray, meditate, and relax into

your faith in God.

calibrate - verb 1. to determine, check,

or rectify the graduation of any instrument

giving measurements; 2. to divide or mark

the gradations, graduations or other indexes

of degree or quantity as on a measuring cup;

3. to plan or devise something carefully as

to have precise use.

 

micrometer - noun 1. any of various devices

for measuring minute distances, angles,

etc. as in connection with a telescope

or microscope. 2. Also called “mike” or

micrometer caliper, a precision instrument

with a spindle moved by a finely threaded

screw, for the measurement of thickness

and short lengths, commonly used by

machinists. 3. Also (noun) – one millionth

of a meter.

 

The calibration of my spiritual progress

currently appears as if it would best be

measured by an instrument my big brother

used as a tool and die maker - a micrometer,

a gauge used to measure the minutest

distances – as small as one millionth

of a meter.

 

I remember, as an eight-year-old,

marveling at my then eighteen-year-old

brother’s tools and the accompanying

stories of exact mathematical based

measurement, and the associated risks

of destroying the metal creations being

prepared for our national defense,

or some other worthy and significant

applications.  

 

Lately, my spiritual quest has left me

feeling somewhat hemmed in, as if

I have gone as far as possible: stymied,

constantly going to the same door and

trying to open it, with no luck. Of course,

this has happened before, and I have

always found a way to move forward,

usually finding a helpful paradigm for

my future efforts in the process.

 

It was not until I received the meditation

guidance below, titled The Box, that

I could visualize the issues behind

my impasse – I am stuck in a sort

of a conceptual box, one which is not

going to budge with the use of standard

tools, such as meditation, prayer, and

positive thinking, but will require a more

pertinent reframing, a re-envisioning

of my internal and external experience.

 

As the note expresses, the very walls

of this box is “self” fabricated, a blend

of my self-image, limited perspective,

and convoluted expectations. So,

as the note also conveys, I will need

to shed these layers of false reality

and - remember.

 

What I am to “remember” is not yet

clear to me, but I would speculate,

if past experience holds true, it is

a set of personal adjustments that

I will need to incorporate into my life

in order to move onward.  As with

all of our spiritual journeys, the

guidance we directly receive as we

progress on our unique path, will

usually of a specific personal nature,

rather than merely generic.  

 

The note that we have been discussing

is offered below, followed by a prayer

I recorded earlier in this recalibration

process titled Open To Be: a prayer

I feel that may assist those who have

discovered - they too may be in a similar,

Self-constructed box – a prayer that may,

hopefully, expand their own self-imposed

confines, while in turn, stretching their

spiritual potential.

 

THE BOX

The form is formless.

The whole is whole-less.

The pursuit of answers

finds us contained in a box,

hoping to find meaning from

our own confines, yet reaching out,

stretching our imaginations until

we collide with our own boundaries –

we must escape the box: so solidly

reinforced by our own perceptions,

so sure we are of these fragments

pieced together by our worthy

strivings; we assess, we conceptualize,

we theorize, legitimize our stiff walls,

until we let go of false assumptions,

working to broaden the dimensions

of our false reality; stripping our own

self-image, our opinions, our very self –

the self-encountered and expected

by others, the self-crafted by our

limited view – and, as the layers fall,

each in turn, from our shoulders,

we remember.

NOE/POEM G. 7.27.2016

                                           

                  OPEN TO BE

            Lord, let me stretch

    beyond this life, tall, stellar,

prepared to navigate the unseen,

    ready to fathom the shards

        of conscious awakening

     yet to be set in motion, dormant,

       but pulsing with potential –

        grace my understanding.

 

        Lord, often these pursuits

                leave me wanting,

        alone in chilled corridors

       languishing, short of breath,

    eyes clinched tight, arms flailing

            for connection, dragging

    my limp spirit over the frozen,

 smooth marble of the impenetrable.

      

        Lord, if not me why not me,

            please allow my entry,

                know I am alive,

            wanting, fully skilled

            to walk erect through

       the mire of myriad potential,

        with mind connected soul

        outstretched, open to be.

A major part of purposeful action is being “clear”

in what we are intending to do and why, unencumbered

by the good opinion of others or the misdirection

of our ego.

 

CLARITY

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

Clarity is clearness – purely motivated – clean –

transparent – connected to a motive of necessity.

 

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

thought, and emotion. Be honest and clear in your

actions – address the minimal purposeful action –

not the ego driven action. Be clear in every word 

and in every moment.

 

Clarity is simply performing the action or thought that

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

by the past or the future.

 

Clarity is directly connected to what is actually occurring –

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

voices in the head but the compassion of the heart.

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

in clarity – only what is.

 

Clarity is clearness – clear and clean – honest authentic

action in living. 

 

Find clarity and find truth.

JESUS AS CHRIST

Through love, Jesus obtained the power of God

and became Christ. As Christ, he used this power

to overcome death and manifested a force of love

so powerful it moved through infinite space and time

and changed all creation. This power of love, existing

for all of us throughout the ages is called salvation.

 

Jesus as Christ – showing us the way to God with

the power of this love connection has become

the savior of humankind – his power always present –

always available – his path always available for us

to follow.

 

Jesus as Christ who obtained the power of God

manifested rebirth and overcame the physical

limitations of the body – moving beyond

the limitations of human thought to the divine 

thought of God, where regeneration and rebirth

are divinely possible and plausible.

 

Jesus as Christ, with the power of God, obtained

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

revealing through Christ the true power available

for man – infinite power built on faith through love.

Infinite power to create heaven here on earth,

if we can understand the way, the path

through God.

 

Jesus as Christ guided us that the way to God

is through love and a personal connection with God;

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

the ability to become God-like by obtaining the power

of God through love.

 

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

highlighting our ability, through love and a connection

with God – of  overcoming the limitations of the human

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

true sons and daughters of God.

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

connections with God. Personally, fear often stands

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

authentic life.  The Meditation Note, below, clearly

outlines the many faces of fear, offering some

advice for moving beyond it.

 

DO NOT BE AFRAID

Fear will limit your progress towards enlightenment.

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

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

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

Fear pulls you into a hard shell for protection – it

makes you see others as strangers and adversaries,  

instead of brothers.

 

Fear is a direct communication to God that you

do not believe the way will be prepared. Fear is 

the lack of faith. Fear comes from lack and not 

from abundance, hope, or trust. No love or

kindness can be emitted by fear - no soul

thrives or expands.

 

When fear is present you are always angry.

You are angry at what you are missing, should

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

Fear makes you angry with yourself

and angry with the world for not providing.

  

Fear of not getting what you should have gotten,

fear of losing what you have, fear of what may

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

because you are frustrated by your own

vulnerability.

 

You are angry because, if you actually obtained

the needed item or feeling,  you would not be

afraid. Many children are angry at their parents

for not protecting them from fear. With fear,

there can never be love, since creation cannot

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

and there can be no growth in fear.

 

Shed your fear, and begin to trust your faith

in God to connect and move you to your

enlightenment. Trust that these struggles are

lessons: and your being frustrated and angry

only moves you further away not closer. Have

faith in life’s positive intentions. Have faith

in the source, God, life energy - can only

have your best intentions at heart - guided by

empowering the best life for you.

 

You lack the faith to understand that there

is and always has been a reason for what happens

to you. Your thoughts provide the momentum and

direction – so what is created is in alignment with

your intentions and desires. Your negative, fear

based interpretation sets you on a negative path,

leading you away from the center of  love and

enlightenment.

 

Let go and focus your thoughts on believing and

receiving. Believe that what you need for an

authentic, aligned life, will be manifested.

Prepare for the receiving and fully incorporate

the future into your mind.

 

Prepare the way through love and not fear. God

will do God's part.

WITH LOVE, G.

Note below, overcome my doubt, and avoid the antics

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

lifelong challenge. At  the time of this meditation,

health was a major worry and concern for me.

 

FIND BELIEF 

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

without a spirit of belief – and fully knowing what you

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

Foster, nurture and become belief itself. To become

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

creation of God - you must believe it is possible.

 

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

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

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

the clear crystal form of your authentic self.

 

Belief is not simple. The ego has a thousand reasons

why you will not obtain what you are wanting. Belief

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

you to believe that your world is out of control.

 

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

wealth, and an authentic life, has been delivered and

awaits for you to receive. Watch your ego that works

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

and abundance, then you will be prepared to receive.

Align your emotions and tune into the receipt and

you will receive.

 

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

can be consuming. Believe in wellness and you will

be healed. Imagine only your healed whole state –

visualize –fantasize and experience the emotions

of wellness and you will receive.

 

Live by the light – the Heartlight.

WITH LOVE, G.

FULLER LIFE

Fuller life is what you seek and is the essence

of all struggle and movement on this earth.

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

conceiving and seeing what exists around you.

What is your heaven on earth?

Would you recognize it if it appears?

Heaven is being one with life – living in full

enthusiasm – loving abundantly and becoming

your authentic self.  The squirrel moving across

the lawn is not divided within itself – it has one

purpose – live life to its fullest – pushing

boundaries at times – taking risks but being

a squirrel.

 

Being Fully You – is authentic life – not the you

of your parents dreams or your lovers desires -

but the you God has empowered you to be.  

Move back to this and start exploring from there.

This is the you of your talents, your ability,

your dreams. What impedes progress towards

being fully you? Every day we are presented with

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

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

its place. You must accept this place and create

from this spot – not negating – but affirming

and building.

 

WITH LOVE, G.

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

that actually occurs during the day of the post and reflects

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

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

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

non-physical beings which are called Abraham would say, 

I am paddling upstream rather than turning my boat

around and moving downstream with the flow of life.

 

I have done this enough to know when I am frustrated

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

So this morning during my meditation I received the 

following message, which I hope you will find helpful

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

always I am still working on it.

 

                                    

THE WAY BACK

 

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

have lost your way to the fears and worries and

challenges created by the egos desire to triumph.

Alter your approach and stop resisting what is

and reacting to each situation with strong negative

emotion.

 

Let go of your resistance, your frustration, your

need to make the outcome work and simply do

what you are called to do. The rest will follow

as it is meant to follow.

 

Continue on and trust God that the way has

been prepared –  the cocreation is underway

and all things good and meaningful are on the

way in your life. 

 

Understand that your thoughts and negative

emotionsare holding you back, your need

to please and be loved and to be perfect is

creating interference.

 

Simply approach each moment with peace

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

Stop trying to maneuver with action and simply

maneuver with thought. Clear – loving  thought -

expecting the best for others and yourself.

Breathe in peace – let out love – find joy. 

Only by letting go with love and visualizing

with love will you progress.

 

Know all things are as they should be and

your negative emotions are impeding progress –

let go – release – love.

 

WITH LOVE, G.

There are times when I receive a note,

such as the one below, which I am

pushed to convey as if someone is

waiting for it's message. Since I have

nothing of significance, I might offer

by way of further comment, I will step

back and allow the tangible sentiment

of this note to be voiced.

  

GOD’S GRACE IN ACTION

Redemption, resurrection, renewal –

the path of God’s grace in action,

the cleansing of what needs to be washed

away and forgiven; enabling a return

to the original purpose and intention

of being, able again to be unbounded,

now ready to live as ordained;

with a sense of renewed determination,

enthusiasm, and momentum.

 

Each of us has the capability to redeem

and to be redeemed, to face the tarnished

perception of our desires gone awry,

reaching our hands into the fount of God’s

mercy, restoring what was perceived

as lost, yet merely forgotten, now awaited.

 

Each of us has the capacity for resurrection,

even after the most undeserving experience,

no further suffering required, the need

for further punishment giving way to a chance

for complete forgiveness and restoration.

 

Each of us has the compassion and love

of God to fathom an appropriate renewal,

one that announces the clarification

of divinely guided and cocreated intention,

a time to soar again, to flourish once more,

to truly celebrate the magnificence

of being alive, whole and transcendent.

As I meditate and search for guidance, seriously

addressing the prolonged inspirational wisdom

drought I have been experiencing, I again 

asked for guidance, and a word - activation- 

started to move through my meditations like a bird

in fixed flight, circling within my consciousness.

 

So, I reached for my journal, unused lately,

and found a fresh page and titled it - Activation,

expecting full well that I might be waiting

for something that was not going to arrive,

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

and sentences slipped into my awareness,

forming this note below before my tearful eyes. 

 

As I read this note, I wonder about my

spiritual activation - am I fully, or partially,

or not yet activated? 

 

ACTIVATION  

Spiritual activation is being alive and one

with the divinity of existence, living fully

and intently within this paradigm,

perceiving life as a carefully structured

vision of love and purpose, a message

of faith and wonder, allowing our souls

to express the miracle of this beingness.

 

We activate when we fully recognize our role,

our unique position as a distinct instrument

in the orchestration of one illumination,

whether we pound out the rhythm or contribute

to the melody – the timbre of our contribution

allows the whole to grow, expand, evolve;

opening the potentials yet unrealized.

 

Once activated, the voice of godness is our voice,

the message of oneness; our expression,

the becoming; our loving commitment –

it is here within this we are reborn, discovering

the essential why of our distinctive place

in the wholeness and being of this manifestation,

this living, breathing, thriving magnificence –

as active particles of momentous beingness 

of God, alive and well!

maneuver - a movement or series of moves

requiring skill and care; a careful planned

scheme of action.

 

At times, I feel like I am progressing in slow

motion, as my plans, goals, and dreams

are left to linger on the side of the road

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

 

When I am in this punch-drunk, stupor

state, I am quick to analyze all of the opposing

forces that are limiting my output and success.

Yet, rarely do I stand full faced in the mirror

and point to the culprit who has made off

with my enthusiasm and motivation.

 

And with this frame of mind I will pray

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

taking my issue to God for some grace.

More often than not, I receive a message

that might have been conceived by William

Stephen Belichick, former lacrosse star

and now coach of the New England Patriots,

a message laying out a common sense,

but creative solution to my situation:

maneuverability.

 

As I read this message and work to

incorporate it, I have been accessing my

actual maneuverability, realizing I have

often dug a well honed rut, or better yet,

forged a rail, that I continue to ride, no

matter what the situation.

 

As I leave my rut/rail behind, and explore

on untethered,  I am surprised to see

opportunities that I have been missing,

closure I have been avoiding, and success

I have neglected.   

 

How’s your maneuverability lately?  

 

MANEUVERABILITY

The essence of success is maneuverability,

making adjustments as needed or desired,

shifting course to avoid pitfalls or negative

consequences, taking full advantage of positive

currents or momentum, open to every advantage,

aware of potential possibilities or oversights,

hands steady on the wheel, mind strategically

fixed on the destination, fully knowing what

is intended, with clarity of purpose and

performance; keenly transfixed.

 

This maneuverability often is the deciding

factor in the overcoming of diversity,

the unexpected, the setback, the uncharted

delay – assisting with an attitude prepared

for counter response and correction –

able to think creatively under pressure,

to maintain emotional balance, unafraid

of risk or consequence, locked and loaded

for success – with the face and soul of a

living hero, capable and courageous.

In our culture of perceived scarcity and lack,

we expect, better yet, demand, productive

results, even in spiritual matters. But what

if we were to heed the advice below, and

realize that what is to be may be the answer

we are so actively seeking. Perhaps, this is

the message we need to incorporate into

our lives.

 

ALLOW WHAT IS TO BE

Allow what is to be, accepting its relevance,

its purpose, choosing to see its pertinence

at this point and place in time; rather than

assuming some failure of diligence or your

part; some lack of planning or organization;

rather than moving to alter or change schedules

to ensure a different outcome; to will a more

agreeable present: take a moment to allow

just what is to be.

 

Is it really more appropriate or efficient

to descend on this situation, circumstance,

or happenstance with a sense of dismay,

resentment, failure for its lack of productivity,

results, progress; why berate yourself, others,

or fate for this moment of time without

accomplishment, without something to show

for its existence; perhaps it is asking you

to just allow what is to be?

 

As you allow this, strive to realize that this

moment may be best spent as it is, unattended,

undocumented, unframed – without form or

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

realizing it may contain the truth, insight,

or enlightenment you are seeking.
