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 appeared?

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 toward

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.

 

INTERNAL STRUGGLE - AN AFFIRMATIVE THOUGHT INSPIRED BY THE FINDING GOD ON THE TRAIN STORY - QUEST FOR A POSITIVE, PERSONAL, AND CONTEMPLATIVE SPIRITUALITY

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

between “belief” and “fear” and feature some 

Affirmative Thoughts and MeditationNotes that

I want 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 –

                   entirely 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 the one hand, and

“fear” on the other.  

 

POWER OF BELIEF                                           

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

into complete 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 supports the effort – totally –

completely. Otherwise, “doubt” splits 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 indoctrinate the ego - soothe and retrain the voice

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

clarity in pursuing the prize of enlightenment.

 

Utilize the ego, teaming with the ego in the pursuit

of complete and total belief. Believe in yourself and your

capacity for cocreation - your ability to harness

the power and create heaven on earth.

 

Believe and it will be so!

A SIMPLE ORDER - NOTE ON ENLIGHTENMENT INSPIRED BY THE FINDING GOD ON THE TRAIN STORY - QUEST FOR A POSITIVE, PERSONAL, AND CONTEMPLATIVE SPIRITUALITY

Beneath the passion play of human existence,

exists nature, the natural, God’s world,

the simple order.  It is often easy to confuse

our constant state of human eruption with

what came first. When we settle down, rest,

meditate, dream, space out, pray -  we can

reconnect with and join this order once more,

realizing we, too, are part of this simple order.

 

A SIMPLE ORDER 

Tangible life erupts in mysterious ways,

like a fire at the end of a long evening,

a flash here, a spark there, a burst

of blue light ignites only to be snuffed

out by a gentle wind, lost in the embers

of its magnificence.

 

We live in discrete but connected

particles of consciousness, moments

always quietly present, simple, silent

reflections of our inner state of peace.

 

Reflect on the moment that surrounds you –

a slender song of opulent life calmly being –

no rush – no impatience,  just a simple order.

 

No need for doing – just enjoyable reflection –

life turning at its own pace – enjoin

its presence –  its nowness – listen

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

to its place – its God-given existence –

no harm – no foul – just the simple glow

and the hum of life eternal - being.

In our culture of perceived scarcity and lack,

we expect, better yet, to demand productive

results, even in spiritual matters. But what

if we were to heed the advice below, and

realize that what is to be may be the answer

we are so actively seeking. Perhaps, this is

the message we need to incorporate into

our lives.

 

ALLOW WHAT IS TO BE

Allow what is to be, accepting its relevance,

its purpose, choosing to see its pertinence

at this point and place in time; rather than

assuming some failure of diligence or your

part; some lack of planning or organization;

rather than moving to alter or change schedules

to ensure a different outcome; to will a more

agreeable present: take a moment to allow

just what is to be.

 

Is it really more appropriate or efficient

to descend on this situation, circumstance,

or happenstance with a sense of dismay,

resentment, failure for its lack of productivity,

results, progress; why berate yourself, others,

or fate for this moment of time without

accomplishment, without something to show

for its existence; perhaps it is asking you

to just allow what is to be?

 

As you allow this, strive to realize that this

moment may be best spent as it is, unattended,

undocumented, unframed – without form or

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

realizing it may contain the truth, insight,

or enlightenment you are seeking.

In response to my  many questions regarding 

how God-Consciousness is structured and

works, I received the Guidance below titled

God Thought.  Let me know your thoughts. 

 

 GOD THOUGHT

We exist within the consciousness of God –

a subset of the whole – a personal consciousness

within God-consciousness.  Our being, our form,

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

is God-originated existence.

 

All we see or experience is simply a thought

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

this ocean of thought we have being, are conscious,

and we are bathed in the essence of God's thought.

 

We live within God – all we experience in this

collective God-consciousness – which our limited

consciousness is based – is founded in this

Divine consciousness.

 

In the extended vision of God, we get to explore

humanity – God thought manifested in full form

to experience this existence. We live submerged

in the creation of God thought – all made of the

same thought substance.

 

Within our  consciousness is an awareness of

this connection – this oneness of universal God

force – the Divine spark fully aware of its source,

its origin, and its destiny.

 

Within the collective God-consciousness is the

power and energy to create personal human

thought, the gift of creative power allowing us

to be one in our God potential,  to contribute

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

thrive, and create at the apex of God thought.

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.

At the center of New Thought spirituality

is the act of creativity – the ability to use

our minds to create tangible substance –

physical form. It is at the heart of the creative

process that we most resemble God.

Each day we all live our own Genesis creation

story -  utilizing our gift of creative energy

for growth or at times, our own hardship.

  

CREATIVE CONNECTION

The creative energy of God is within you –

surrounds you – radiates from you  - infusing

you with the creative powers of the Universal

Mind.  Simply tap this power by going within

and connecting to its source -  then feel

the surge of perfect thought – alive within

every cell of your being – feel the connection

to all that is and become one with the creative

force within you.

 

All creativity is at your fingertips, ready to be

harnessed by your consciousness – open the

canvas and create the life of your dreams –

heaven on earth – outlining the knowledge or

guidance you wish to convey.  There can be no

wrong, no missteps,  since you are all creative

energy – just trust in the source of the signal

and move forward. There is no failure in this

creative action – it is the work of God – the

Divine calling – the building and forming of

what is at first thought and becomes form.

 

All you create comes from source – one with

source – an expression of God through you –

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

oneness, to wholeness, to the connection

with God.

resonate – produce or be filled with a deep, full,

reverberating sound; evoke or suggest images,

memories, or emotions; technical – produce

electrical or mechanical resonance.

 

resonance – the quality in a sound of being deep,

full, and reverberating; the ability to evoke

or suggest images, memories, and emotions:

physics – the reinforcement or prolongation

of sound by reflection from a surface or by

the synchronous vibration of a neighboring

object; a short-lived subatomic particle that

is an excited state of a more stable particle.

 

OUR RESONANCE 

Our thoughts resonate; our emotions resonate;

our every attitude, enthusiasm or inspiration

resonates with a clear vibration of ‘sound’

existence; being, communicating, through

the physical and spiritual universe, an

intention, a purpose, a signal of possibility,

connecting firmly to all surrounding existence

a declaration of determination which, in turn,

creates like expressions, a chorus, a harmony

of continual becoming, sounding, rebounding,

resounding.

 

It is essential that our sonic communication

matches our desires, our true intentions;

the pure, positive, productive voice of the

reach for our hopes and lasting happiness:

fixing on this tuning rather than the fearful

tremors and dissonance of the discarded,

the unwanted, the resisted; those vexing

expressions of darkness, of pending doom,

with their unfolding stories of possible,

dismal consequences, often replete with

life’s suffocations and sorrows – and instead,

in place of – let us draft a fresh story,

a more wholesome story, one of overcoming,

flourishing, singular transcendence and true

success – resonating a sound so strong,

so resilient it vibrates our life, all of life,

towards wholeness, more-ness, stretching

us upward, propelling us in unison with

a solid declaration of growth.

FRUSTRATION’S RECONNAISSANCE

Frustration occurs when reality conflicts

with expectations, when outcomes fail to

materialize, when the hoped-for morphs

into the uncalled-for, when visions blur

and desires contend, reflecting the antithesis

of wishes, dreams, reflections, and even

prayers.

 

At these times, confusion and bewilderment

rage like a fire across a dry forest; dumbfounded

we assess our damage, berate our intelligence,

dismay at the research and apparent thinking

that has forged our choices, energized our

actions, only to result in heartfelt frustration.

 

Yet, does this turmoil not provide a message,

a spark of reconnaissance worthy of proper

reflection, perhaps even the gem of insight

required to shift our strategy, reformulate

our paradigm, clearing the way for a more

profitable and workable solution going

forward – a spark of genius.

I think all of us, at times, approach life

tentatively, like a shy child stepping onto

the stage for the first time, and it is exactly

this hesitant manner that slows our progress,

whittles away our confidence and leaves

us compromising rather than establishing

our well-earned success.

 

Having received the note below titled

Be Expansive, while meditating this morning,

I realize it is time for some self-reflection.  

I am not timid when it comes to pursuing the

larger than life idea/project/dream, but then

I often stuff it into a box that is much too

confining, eventually neutralizing the

idea/project/dream to ensure it is quote –

manageable, feasible, doable – and I am

often content to live within the confines

of this self-created box, even if the final

results are less than desired. Guess it is

time to free my cramped undertakings by 

letting each go free range. Thus, in my way,

testing the waters of being expansive.

 

BE EXPANSIVE

Allow the fresh ideas to flow today,

opening your consciousness to the vast

possibilities of this existence, be expansive,

shun the limitations real or perceived,

welcome the inspiration, the input,

the guidance available to enhance your

efforts, being bold in this exploration,

brainstorming with the fullness of infinite

intelligence – know you are the conduit

for the creative energy of God: so let

this force that propels all beingness incite

your imagination, let it set flame to your

wonder, embolden your claim to magnificence,

let it breathe the breath of the everlasting into

your perspective; as you grasp the throttle -

the thrust of life stretching to soar unhindered.

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

subject matter that something deals with

or to which it is relevant: 2. the opportunity

or possibility to do or deal with something:

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

2. North American Informal – look at

something carefully. 

  

Daily living is all about making distinctions,

differentiating the incoming stimuli, labeling

what is experienced, comparing and contrasting

each stimulus to identify, sort, and file it away

for current or future action-based choices.

 

I often find myself focused on what I am attending

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

be beyond it, creating it, or fostering it.

 

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

featured here titled Scope, clearly urging me on 

to expand my awareness, to stretch my spiritual

field of vision, to perceive beyond the simple

reality I live through and with each day.

 

For some of us, our current spiritual scope may

be all we desire at the moment, our existing

connection with God fitting our actual needs,

not requiring any further stretching or expanding

of our perspective.

 

I guess the question that requires some attention

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

what are we seeking to achieve with our spiritual

quest? Based on this answer, if we believe it  

appears warranted; we can assess what type

of scope, adjustment needs to be considered.

Then perhaps, the note offered below might

serve as a starting point or framework.

 

SCOPE

Scope is an essential aspect of the quest for a

positive, personal spirituality. Scope – the depth

and breadth of any earnest pursuit of clarity

or truth; a more encompassing perspective;

a more focused intention, one allowing us to peer

beyond the limits of the periphery, stretching our

field of vision, our comprehension, the elasticity 

of standard or expected conscious possibility,

accepting full well the folly of material, concrete,

solid; conscious, and aware of no such distinction

exists; here now, our scope is broader, blending 

the dimensions of reality with imagination, secular

with the mystic, tangible with the forming and

formless: and now, with this ever-broadening scope, 

we begin to reveal the true nature of being,

the continual incorporation of all with all,

a borderless, boundaryless wash of watercolor,

where this is attached to that, as our scope unravels

the folly of distinction, separation, uniqueness – 

knowing only oneness, absolute unity.

Whatever you ask for in prayer with faith, you will receive.

                Mathew 21:22.

 

So I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you

have received it, and it will be yours.

                                                                                     Mark 11:24.

 

Much of New Thought is based on these two quixotic

and revolutionary quotes offered by Jesus of Nazareth,

that without question demonstrate his clear and profound

comprehension of the very essence of our relationship

with God.

 

I believe Jesus would read the guidance I post below,

titled Our Tender Grasp, and be in agreement.

 

No matter what faith we profess, it behooves us

to realize that this concept of the doable nature

of firm intention with solid faith is worth mastering,

or at least comprehending.

 

So often, individually and collectively, we listen

to all who blur our focus and, in the end, find

we have lost our grip on what we so sorely need.  

 

As we reflect on this, let us, with our own firm

intention and solid faith intact, reach out 

to evolve this world, our world, once more.

 

OUR TENDER GRASP

There is no destination beyond our reach,

no vision incapable of taking form and life,

no sentiment or emotion that eludes our

tender grasp – all is doable, possible with

firm intention and solid faith; strengthened

by a resolve that refuses to be deterred or waylaid;

a force of will significant, energized – set in full

enthusiastic motion – unrelenting – a united

focus on deserved attainment.

 

With this clear approach, allow no doubt,

fear or concern to blur the focus; denying each

as they erupt as unworthy and unwarranted;

and with equal measure turn a deaf ear and

blind eye to any criticism, judgment, opinion,

or envious conceit tended by friend or foe alike;

proceeding instead with a scrubbed mind,

whitewashed, empty of harmful self or other -

defeating chatter.

 

Thus prepared, we move adroitly toward what

is waiting for our full discovery and claiming our

due reward for faith and undaunted determination;

open to receiving what has been prepared for

those who master this belief-based becoming.

Spiritual Confidence is at the heart of believing

in your innate power to cocreate the life of your

dreams through God.

 

First, you need to have confidence that your thoughts

and actions will lead to the desired result you have

told the universe you want and need. This requires,

you have confidence in the Law of Attraction and

When you make a request, it will be manifested.

It also requires that you have confidence in yourself

and your abilities to make this happen in real life.

 

The Meditation Note below titled POWER OF CONFIDENCE

underscores the essence and significance of confidence

and its power to make good happen in your life.

 

POWER OF CONFIDENCE

There is strength and power in confidence – being

sure of what you are doing, the decisions you make, 

and the Divine support each day. Avoid the fear

and second-guessing is a by-product of your ego.

Know if you made this decision in cocreation

with God, you are moving in the proper direction

and can handle anything that occurs. Know 

you are an extremely capable and skilled person

who has an abundance of talents that you bring

to every life situation.

 

Trust in God and yourself and know all is working

as planned as God moves the world to create your

positive thoughts. Fear and surrender only breed

negative outcomes as the world brings you,

your fearful desires.

 

Each day say –

 

“ I am a positive, self-confident child of God

capable of great things now and in the future.”

 

Do not let others provide an interpretation

of your life – know your life is a magnificent creation

worthy of praise. Look at all you have done, and know

God will do much if you can become bold and self-assured.

Move forward today, knowing you are ready to tackle

the obstacles and achieve your dreams.

Whatever word or phrase you use to describe

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

Infinite Intelligence, Consciousness, or Yahweh,

most of us will agree that naming the nameless,

the formless, the infinite does not fully represent

what we are trying to convey.  I choose to stay 

traditional and use the word "God" because I feel

it is what the vast majority of us relate to from

our religious training.

                

By whatever name we use - God is an energy or

force or presence that genuinely impacts our lives

each day.  In the Meditation Note below, titled

Growing God, I receive guidance defining

God is "the force of growth behind all positive

creation," constantly expanding with us and

through us.  Maybe our true mission in life

is to grow God.

  

GROWING GOD                                              

God grows with each moment of creation in the

manifested world – with each idea, movement,

breath, the fullness of God grows.  All life grows

God, in the pursuit of more life, more creation,

and more growth.

 

God is the force of growth behind all positive

creation.  This movement forward is the

manifestation of the continual movement

forward.  The life force, creative force, is the

essence of God, the Source – where all

life and creation is fueled and put in motion.

 

God – the Source- moves only towards the clear

truth of perfect, flowing, abundant life.  Each step

builds on the previous step; each creation forms

and becomes a new creation.  This Source – is God.

 

God is in you – God surrounds you –God moves

through you.  Realize you are a creative, living

cell of God – an individual creation inspired

by Divine creation.

 

We must all grow, God.

 

WITH LOVE, G.

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.

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 humankind – 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.

GRACE WITHIN THIS NOW

The grace of God is in this moment now –

in this sliver of the present where each breath

is newly formed and delivered into the world;

in this moment, where the thought of movement

becomes a movement in the space of a clear mind.

 

Alive in the present now, God waits, knowing

we must work to shake off the exploits of the ego –

that focuses our attention on the what-ifs and

the projections of a crisis ahead. Clear the ego – 

clear the mind and focus on meeting God in this

space of now – the material of the universe –

alive and energized in the moment.

 

The grace of God – the abundance of God –

the cocreation of God happens in this place

of centered nowness – all you have asked

waits for you to align to this place in spirit –

and there, all you have asked for waits.

 

This is the place where the ego is made silent

by the sound of the breath in celebration –

it cannot exist in the clarity of this now –

for real truth is alive here with the grace

of God – the God within waits for you to find

the channel – to find the connection unhindered

by the static of the ego.

 

Be and live fresh in the now through mindfulness

and focus on the breath. Practice, practice with

each moment of life until you exist unhindered –

in this moment. Then the grace of God will meet

you at this moment with all you have cocreated –

with your manifested abundance.

TANGIBLE CREATION  

Sincerity, immersion, along with complete commitment, 

define the parameters of a successful project or venture; 

a clarity of intention conceived in the heart of imagination,

made tangible through frequent visualization, formed

and reformed and formed again in thought and emotion.

 

The effort extended must be complete, authentic,

uncompromised – soul-centered and heartfelt –

cherished, loved, and essential; focused desire 

made manifest, a creation of good with universal

application, a magnificent undertaking.

 

To this constructive effort, all must be wagered,

all must be offered for only the transfer of total

and unhampered belief will stoke the furnaces,

forge the particles into being, and finally, breathe

life into the shell of the whole, giving forth

animation and destiny.

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 – always receiving 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 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 in true harmony

with your authentic self. Feel the growth and

rejoice.

 

Prosperity is now – here – walk around the corner

and claim it.

CONCENTRIC CIRCLES OF CONSCIOUSNESS - NOTES ON ENLIGHTENMENT INSPIRED BY THE FINDING GOD ON THE TRAIN STORY - THE QUEST FOR A POSITIVE, PERSONAL, AND CONTEMPLATIVE SPIRITUALITY

The message titled Concentric Circles Of  Consciousness,

offered below further expands our understanding

of the enhanced connection of our local and nonlocal

consciousness, underscoring the importance of building

a pathway to God/Universal Mind, thus expanding our

capacity to fully cocreate our lives with God: actually

manifesting our heaven on earth. Framing this local

mind in a positive manner – controlling our local

consciousness, allowing us to grow and evolve in

a creative mode rather than a destructive mode.

 

CONCENTRIC CIRCLES OF CONSCIOUSNESS

Concentric circles of consciousness forming, being,

or existing, layer upon layer, together with but distinct,

based in the infinite or God or cosmic consciousness –

containing all existence in one potent and all-inclusive

awareness – the total awareness, the adhesive thought 

of all existence – the thought of an active God/Spirit/

Being/Oneness – a conscious presence, the fertile soil

of all awareness.

 

Part and parcel of this founding layer exists the collective

 

consciousness of all previous or waiting existence –

 

providing the wisdom of the multitude of existence. 

 

Within these concentric circles lie the communal

 

or the collective consciousness of existing sentient

 

life formed one circle at a time by each individual

 

consciousness, each personal (or sentient) being

 

shared but personalized – made distinct by borders – 

 

by thought-restricted boundaries – yet one by

 

the original foundation of each.

 

To connect with the cosmic or God-consciousness

is to break through the conceptual separation

and connect with what is already existing at the

very heart or center of your consciousness –

waking to your own divine core.

 

Work to expand your consciousness,

understanding the significance of each layer

in your life. Submerge, extend, and transcend

individual consciousness – live within.

Here is a post straight from my meditation journals

titled Spontaneous Action with a focus on fully

realizing our intent and our authentic purpose in life.

 

SPONTANEOUS ACTION           

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

action free from restriction, editing, and free from

rethinking. This spontaneous action connects you with

your authentic self and Divine presence.

 

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

reality and desires to please your friends, associates,

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

is right through clear, unedited thinking.

 

Spontaneous action is life in full motion – living by both

mind and body – fully conscious – fully aware –

within the complete flow of your natural self.

 

Spontaneous action is a free action – authentic action –

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

is a viable response – an authentic response.

Look at how you currently respond and react to each

situation – are you guarded, censoring your true self

and feelings.

 

 Spontaneous action requires that you are in touch

with yourself, your wants, and your desires – living

and being fully yourself. In this way, you will move

forward and complete your life's purpose.

 BUT THEN

 I wonder, God,

    how do 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  BY G. 8.14.2012

 

Sometimes this spiritual quest gets

too complex, and I am the first to

forget the basics; that is, being

prepared to connect with God, in

the present, through meditation,

prayer, and contemplation.

 

It is within these meditative moments

where we master the skill of mind

control, clearing away the debris of

our egos and our noisy lives, to meet

the true consciousness of God, always

ready and waiting in the now.

 

So when I came across the note

featured below from 2014, I decided

to publish it as a gentle reminder,

to all of us, of the basics.

 

THE FIRST STEP

The power to clear the consciousness

is available to everyone simply by

using the techniques and approaches

honed by thousands of years of earnest

effort, one errant thought at a time.

It is a basic meditation practice, with its

focus on the breath, returning to this

breath when thoughts surface – allowing

us to lay the foundation, training our

minds, so our awareness during practice

will determine the flow and focus of our

attention.

 

For some, this may be the first experience

with mind control – allowing thoughts

to surface, but upon review, choosing

to withdraw attention, returning instead

to the breath and our meditative focus,

thus laying the groundwork for a breath

focused mindfulness, available during

meditative practice, or anytime we choose

mindfulness as our criterion for awareness.

THE DEEP ADVENTURE

Exist now within the deep adventure of living,

submerged in existence, often consumed

by sensations, emotions, thoughts, experiences –

fully immersed in the content while struggling

to find a tangible thread of logic, a course of

action, a firm essence.

 

This adventure requires more than open

consumption, it calls for reflection, contemplation,

a wholehearted effort to interpret its meaning,

its message for you and all sentient existence -

alive today or who has ever lived or will ever

live.

 

As the adventure unfolds daily, know that

it has a conceptual grounding, a meaningful

course, a dynamic purpose; dive into its rich

thickness, deep and determined, clearing

your consciousness of magic and myths,

rather observant of what this Divine gift

indicates - summons - asks in return.

From time to time, we must all ask ourselves

the question of whether we are diligently planting 

the seeds of positive, authentic life in our 

consciousness, preparing for the harvest of our 

abundance and prosperity.

  

I transcribed the guidance below as I struggled

with the recuperation from back surgery. 

At that time, I am sure I was not focused

on a harvest but rather on survival.  I did my

duty, recorded the note, and forgot about it in

my journal.

 

Last night, while working on the book,

I came across this note again titled Harvest

Of Life. I was transfixed by the note, and its

wonderful analogy, succinctly describing 

the consciousness work we all must do in

order to be fully authentic in this world. 

 

We are all growing and harvesting our

consciousness in every moment. If we

have planted the seeds of a positive life

in our minds, the results are ours to harvest -

prosperity, peace of mind, love, and happiness -

if not, we must return to our garden and plant

our precious seeds once more. For there is

always another moment to farm again. 

 

HARVEST OF LIFE - MEDITATION GUIDANCE

The harvest is ready to reap – full and lush

from tender toil – from loving care – strong

and healthy – ready to be the fruit of your

enjoyment – to fill your storage bins with

plenty for the long winter ahead.

 

Knowing this is the way – to plant a seed within

your creative thought - to care for it – water

and weed – watch it grow – protect it from

the ego and the opinions of others. Watch it

grow and visualize it as strong, healthy, and

prosperous – ready to be the substance of

real life and real form.

 

In the fields of your thought, you alone are

the farmer and you alone can ensure growth

by keeping thoughts of lack, not, and error

from impacting your creation – ruining your

work and destroying your harvest. You have

mastered the rules of growing form, and you

can bring your harvest to share and enjoy

with the world.

 

Understand - as you view the lush fruit of

your labor and the pure miracle of creation

unfolding,  you have been the artist of plenty,

and through your thoughts and patience,

will now feed yourself, your family, your

community, and the world.

 

Take the sickle in hand – prepare the laborers –

fill the trucks of life and enjoy the fruits of

your labor – the harvest of life.

I believe a key element of attracting what you want from

the universe is declaring your intentions to the world rather

than keeping them secret until they are fully conceived.

In a way, my blog has been the declaration of my intention to

write the book long before the book was actually written.

 

Often we avoid this for fear of negative feedback that will

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

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

but choose a medium that would broadcast it to those

who would be my potential audience and find it useful.

 

I received this guidance titled Declare Your Intentions

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

I hope it helps anyone who is thinking about declaring.  

   

DECLARE YOUR INTENTIONS

Declare your intentions to the world, giving form to

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

 

Declare your intentions to the world with passion –

with emotion, vibrating with the anticipated joy of

becoming new.

 

Declare your intentions to the world, pushing past

the alarms of your ego – the voices of the internal

naysayers - the chorus of you are not ready –

maybe later.

 

Declare your intentions to the world, fully envisioning

the end result and breathing life into thought –

creating from pure desire.

 

Declare your intentions to the world and watch the

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

Declare your intentions to the world!

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, be 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 BY 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 –

       please 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

Today, as I was preparing to begin my morning

ritual of spiritual reading and meditation, I decided

that I would reach into my archives of unpublished

Affirmative Thoughts and let the universe pick

the theme for today's post.  

 

I picked out the Affirmative Thought published

below titled Let Go And Let God. It is often

startling to see how the themes of the past are still

very much current today. I read it over and set it

aside to see what developed during my meditation.

 

A new addition to my morning devotion is to go

into one of my own journals, where I have

recorded the Meditation Guidance I received,

relating it to my life today.  I picked a journal

and opened it up to the Meditation Guidance below

titled The Way Has Been Prepared. 

 

I quickly realized that the randomly selected

Affirmative Thought and this Meditation Guidance

were related, with the  guidance presenting  

the problem and the thought offering the solution.

Both underscored my continuing challenge with 

this spiritual mission I have accepted and now live -

the feeling that I am often in this alone and have to

make it happen on my own.

 

I am grateful for the reminder that I need to dream

a better dream, have confidence in what I am doing,

trust in God that the way has truly been prepared,

and then to fully let go and let God. 

 

LET GO AND LET GOD

Today “let go and let God” releasing the reins

of control and asking God to assist with the

day-to-day issues you encounter – letting God

guide you and work through you, uncovering

the optimal solution for all involved.

 

Today “let go and let God,” asking God for

direction and listening for guidance in the

signs, sounds, events, and coincidences of

your life –watching as the doors open and

the opportunities are revealed.

 

Today “let go and let God,” surrendering the

need to go it alone and instead join forces

with your Divine assistance and begin again

to cocreate your peaceful existence, your

stress-free life, your heaven on earth.

Let Go And Let God!

AT  BY G. 7.26.2011

 

THE WAY HAS BEEN PREPARED

The dream you should be dreaming is one of strength,

one of courage, a dream reflecting your true nature –

your true potential. Cleanse and clear away the fear,

the doubt, the past mistakes, and replace it with the

joyous harmony of all that waits in possibility.

 

Know you have the power to dream this dream

for yourself and others, but instead,  you wallow

in the graveyard of the past, tossing the remains

around and looking for forgiveness. Know now,

today, and forever that you are and always have

been forgiven – forgive yourself. Learn to love

yourself more –completely - and then you will 

know what this means – what an expression

of love involves.

 

Stop working so hard at doing, and spend more

time dreaming, envisioning. Never attempt to force

the solution; instead, allow it to greet you when it

arrives. Your very actions spell disbelief – a lack

of trust in God’s effort on your behalf. Dream –

see it all, call it forth from your Soul, and

hear the guidance.

 

Find again the passion – the joy in simply being –

cocreating with God. Be willing to start small –

to fit into the future that waits and grow it with love,

passion, and enthusiasm. Offer your gifts, and they

will be received, trusting in God’s support and love.

The way has been prepared.

maneuver - a movement or series of moves

requiring skill and care; a carefully 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 a 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 is.

 

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 overcoming adversity, the unexpected,

the setback, the uncharted delay – assisting

with an attitude prepared for a counter-response

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.

As we have discussed,  the focus of the message

of  Finding God On The Train Story is that

we and God interact through a shared

consciousness, and as a result, as the note

below conveys. a “logical” outgrowth of t

his conceptual framework that we share:

a combined existence teamed to make

the most of our endeavors and our lives." 

This, of course, is facilitated, and

the benefits of co-existence maximized

when we actually buy into this framework.

 

Likewise, this notion is built on

the premise that every living being has

an inner Divine nature and connection,

that even with flat-out negation,

this Divine connection cannot be turned

off or severed. Thus, the opportunity

for this inner Divinity to assist even

the totally lost in reclaiming their

redemption.

 

We, who believe in combined being,

are in a unique position to actually

cocreate with God our lives of joy,

peace, love, and happiness – heaven

on earth. Others, will benefit from

God’s close proximity and ability

to assist when possible.    

 

COMBINED BEING

The lasting partnership of total oneness

asks for only acceptance, a willingness

to be one with the enveloping consciousness

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

and pull of complete awareness.

 

This consciousness incubates and fosters

the individually perceived awareness,

seen by most, as distinct and separate.

Spirit is with you as the air you breathe

is with you, dislocation, separation is

untenable, impossible; yet many conjure

a distance between the created and

the creative force of all.

 

Understand that Spirit, the infinite

awareness, through the soul, provides

the framework for a lasting partnership

of combined being, able to live and

be a united unfolding presence, open

to engender form from well-intentioned

thought, to partner in the cocreative

wonder of living, being, becoming.

Part Four of The Finding God On The Train Story

book, The Crystal Path, 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's connection.

 

Personal Consciousness expands or contracts

to match individual desires, conceptions, or

intentions. 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 enfolds you – and

from this point work on strengthening

this conceptual connection until you touch

the true center of gravity.

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, and 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!

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, as Ester Hicks and her group of

non-physical beings called Abraham would say, 

that 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;  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 ego's desire to triumph.

Alter your approach and stop resisting what is,

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

emotions are holding you back, your need

to please and be loved - 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 - even  

with your negative emotions impeding progress –

so let go – release – love.

 

WITH LOVE, G.

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 nature.

 

The meditation guidance below is 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 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 thoughts, 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, and 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.

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.

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 occurring –

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

voices in the head but by the compassion of the heart.

There are no shoulds, have-tos, doctrines, or rules

in clarity – only what is.

 

Clarity is clearness – clear and clean – honest, authentic

action in living. 

 

Find clarity and find truth.

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 daily feeding of

media-based demise, criminality, hatred, and

fictional homicide. Our culture 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.

The guidance below, which is typical of the

message I have received regarding our

existing relationship with consciousness,

reiterates the notion of a more robust and

vital dimension than we may usually imagine;

one that includes all time, all substance, all

existence – past, present, or future. Since,

in my New Thought perspective, God and

consciousness are indistinguishable,

with divinity and consciousness being one,

the infrastructure for our existence and

all existence, is, primarily, this field of

consciousness.

 

THE FIELD OF CONSCIOUSNESS 

Consciousness so vast, so connected,

so intertwined, it is tidal with the ebb

and flow of past, present, and future;

thick with being; it blends and melds

like a dense batter stirred by the very

animation of being, as it reaches, stretches,

presses to be more, to hold the content

of life erupting, until it constructs the now

we inhabit, a delicate blossoming present,

formed of past and future unseen but

always the essential fabric of this now,

as it unfolds on: know this consciousness

is a field of being twisting, billowing, with

undulating life – all life that has lived,

is living, or will live – seek to comprehend

this connector of all being, all existence,

all presence; this ocean of being.

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 life 

force inside every cell of everything we encounter

or hold dear, a life force pushing us 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 this 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 toward 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.

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.

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 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.

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, 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 guidance, insight, and

inspiration – to reveal a more complete and

worthy outcome.

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 if this is it, have I received in the past

 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, if there is a next step,

a next level that I should be focusing on - 

perhaps another book series? Basically, a very

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

 

This morning, as I started to meditate, the first

sentence of the guidance below came to me over

and over in a louder and firmer voice than usual - 

"be the enlightenment you wish to see in the

world."

 

The words kept coming, line after line, so after

ten minutes I ended the mediation and began

transcribing what I was hearing in my head

into my journal, resulting in the guidance

below tilted,  Spiritual Activism. 

 

After rereading and reflecting on this guidance,

I believe this message is pointing to the next step

on the Crystal Path, a challenge for me, and possibly 

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

beyond the comfort zone and into true spiritual

activism. 

 

I believe God is clearly indicating that I have been

given the message and that now it is the time for

me to live the message. Your thoughts?

 

SPIRITUAL ACTIVISM 

Be the enlightenment you wish to see in the world,

be heaven on earth, demonstrate and be the joy, 

peace, love, and happiness in tangible living form –

be the hands and feet of God in the pursuit of

spiritual transformation – change the consciousness

by being the consciousness you desire to manifest

through the world.

 

Be the enlightenment and actively step out one

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

creating joy, exhibiting joy, overcoming someone

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

you wish to bring to the world. Create joy.

 

Be the enlightenment by finding your own peace

within as you work to establish peace in your home,

with your family, in your community – pushing the

world – your world into peace through being a living

example of peace. Create peace by committing to at

least one peaceful action per day.

 

Be the enlightenment you wish to see in  the world,

the heaven on earth by loving without bounds,

without limits, through tangible acts of love and

kindness, broaden a smile into a gesture of love,

make room for loving yourself and commit to

spreading it to others  knowing you are connected

to all you see – love as God  loves without

qualification or expectation. Create love.

 

Be the enlightenment in action – in thought, word,

and deed until the happiness you seek  is the

happiness you give. Let others know the source of

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

connected with God, let them know that God wants

them to be happy by creating happiness for others who

are struggling or need assistance. Create happiness.  

 

Be a spiritual activist moving the concept of heaven

on earth into the reality of heaven on earth for the

world you inhabit – for your life and the lives of

those around you  - reaching out beyond to all who

would benefit from your efforts. Create heaven on

earth for all!

As I write and edit Part Three of the Finding God On The

Blog Book Story, 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 our 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.

SCOPE - NOTE ON ENLIGHTENMENT INSPIRED BY THE FINDING GOD ON THE TRAIN STORY - QUEST FOR A POSITIVE, PERSONAL, AND CONTEMPLATIVE SPIRITUALITY

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

subject matter that something deals with

or to which it is relevant: 2. the opportunity

or possibility to do or deal with something:

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

2. North American Informal – look at

something carefully. 

  

Daily living is all about making distinctions, 

differentiating the incoming stimuli, labeling

what is experienced, comparing  and contrasting

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

for current, or future action-based choices.

 

I often find myself focused on what I am attending

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

be beyond it, creating it, or fostering it.

 

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

featured here titled Scope, clearly urging me on to

expand my awareness, to stretch my spiritual field

of vision, to perceive beyond the simple reality

I live through and with each day.

 

For some of us, our current spiritual scope maybe

all we desire at the moment, our existing connection

with God fitting our actual needs, not requiring any

further stretching or expanding our perspective.

 

I guess the question requiring some attention

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

what are we seeking to achieve with our spiritual

quest? And based on this answer, if we believe

it appears warranted, we can assess what type

of scope, adjustment needs to be considered.

Then perhaps, the note offered below, might

serve as a starting point or framework.

 

SCOPE

Scope is an essential aspect of the quest 

for a positive, personal spirituality.

Scope – the depth and breadth of any 

earnest pursuit of clarity or truth; a more

encompassing perspective; a more focused

intention, one allowing us to peer beyond

the limits of the periphery, stretching our

field of vision, our comprehension, the

elasticity of standard or expected conscious 

possibility, accepting full well the folly 

of material, concrete, solid; conscious and

aware no such a distinction exists; here now,

our scope is broader, blending the dimensions

of reality with imagination, secular with the

mystic, tangible with the forming and formless:

and now with this ever-broadening scope, we

begin to reveal the true nature of being,

the continual incorporation of all with all,

a borderless, boundaryless wash of watercolor,

where this is attached to that, as our scope

unravels the folly of distinction, separation, 

uniqueness – knowing only oneness, absolute

unity.

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.

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,

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 the 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 hopes

and lasting happiness: fixing on this tuning,

rather than the fearful tremors and

the 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.

THE CRYSTAL LIGHT - NOTE ON ENLIGHTENMENT INSPIRED BY THE FINDING GOD ON THE TRAIN STORY - QUEST FOR A POSITIVE. PERSONAL, AND CONTEMPLATIVE SPIRITUALITY

Since January of 2008, when I transcribed -

after meditation during my daily one and a

half-hour train commute to Washington, DC. -

one of my earliest Divinely inspired notes

of guidance titled The Crystal Path To The

Heartlight, I have realized that crystals would

be a major component of the message, I would

be asked to convey. I have received notes about

the crystal path, the crystal self, crystal consciousness-

and now this Meditation Guidance below 

titled The Crystal Light. 

 

Granted, I have read the works of David Bohm,

former associate of Einstein, since retired

Professor of Theoretical Physics and his theory

that the universe is constructed on the same

principles as the hologram. The word hologram

means "whole message," and Bohm proposes that

every particle of the universe is composed of a

hologram of the entire universe, which as a whole

makes up what Bohm calls the Implicate Order -

the enfolded universe.

 

Likewise, I have been writing Chapter Twelve of the

series  where I am presenting my own "Theory of

Universal God Consciousness" while meditating

daily for guidance on what to include,so this type

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

making me hesitate to publish the note is that it

clearly conveys that our existence is a result 

of refracted light through a crystal. On the other

hand, it does offer a fresh approach to God--

consciousness so here goes. 

 

THE CRYSTAL LIGHT 

We are living and existing in the crystal light

of God-consciousness comprising the universe –

containing the universe itself – all matter –

all space within is refracted light, illuminating

the creative intentions of God – we – you – me

all exist in this consciousness as creative energy

evolving, expressing, and becoming more –

expanding the nature of God.

 

At the edges of the universe is the crystal nature

of God holding – growing – becoming – with light

streaming through this crystal fabric – this

hologram shell representing all life, all matter,

all space, all time - and within creating what we

see as the visible universe.

 

All appears real to us in this three-dimensional

illumination - as tangible, whole, hard, real.

Within is the universe of holographic light –

each particle of all matter is a hologram of the

whole. Within the creative forces of God, intentions

exist as if separate – distinct but are merely the

individual elements of this whole. Living holograms

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

WHAT IF?

There is a strong tendency for followers to build

an expectation of the followed. There is a strong

desire to want superpowers in our heroes, in our

Gods, and in our leaders; to counteract our perceived

human powerlessness. So, God, for many, has assumed

the big three: omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent:

a super savior of such magnitude; who, for a prayer

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

 

As we reflect on this approach - the debate and 

consider its validity - many turn away, questioning

why a multitude of dutiful believers have faced

torment, torture, and mass extinction without

even a drop of mercy, grace, or intervention. 

 

As the note below proposes, what if God shares

our consciousness, but is not able to counteract

human free will and directly intervene in the affairs

of humankind? What does it indicate about God –

what would it suggest that we consider doing

to save ourselves, primarily from ourselves?

 

For a few months, I have been reading and rereading

the note below titled The Stirrings, along with several

related notes that have followed and support a similar

line of reasoning.

 

This initial note below offers a framework- for how

an emergent God might come into existence. I am

still praying, meditating, and asking for guidance

regarding this topic, but this is one example of

the response I am receiving.

 

On this note, the emergent God inherits

a troubled collective human consciousness,

unable to exist without turmoil, war,

and savagery. Hate to say it, but sounds

a lot like life on our planet today. So I thought

I would try my hand at a brief introduction

to frame what might have been happening

in the world at the time of this emergence

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

 

When a groggy consciousness awakes to its

intention,  fed by gaining strength from, and

finally given substance to by the fearful cries

and pleas of early humaness – earth’s original

inhabitants - daily facing a stark existence in 

a new world; as there fierce, more menacing,

cohabitants seek nourishment, and evolutionary

placement; this infant collective awareness, with

wordless mindfulness, struggling for existence:

produces the perfect clamor to call forth their

salvation, an emerging God, a collective universal

consciousness that finds a reason, an intention,

a purpose, and offers a refuge.

  

THE STIRRINGS

God came into being through the stirrings

of a combined consciousness, becoming

aware and awake, reaching out to make

sense and purpose of this united presence,

this life fully aware of itself, its place, its

possibility: knowing each individual

presence was, in fact, a part and parcel

of its larger, fuller, greater perspective;

all-inclusive, evolving, and growing. becoming,

being, then dissolving; a sense of one,

whole, a sum of its parts became – this entity

of combined human consciousness, yet also,

inclusive of all less vigorous or fully aware.

Knowing – even as it awoke, the realization

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

unable to appease or unite:  even so,  its

allegiances, tribes, or coalitions left little

but fear, despair, and savagery – to placate

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

how was the repeated question, as the over

mind, the now overall consciousness ruminates

its purpose, its existence.

Although God communicates with us through

our own language, expressing in the terms

and idioms and icons we most understand:

perhaps God’s language is the first language

of sincere expression, primarily vibrational,

emotional, intentional, as the note below

conveys, and we – if we really listen with

our full hearts are capable of translating

this communication into our own words

and symbols. Perhaps, our literal brainware

has been engineered to translate this God

message, and does so, if we will intently

listen, with faith, for its song.

 

THE FIRST LANGUAGE

Within deep consciousness, we speak

in emotions, vibrations, intentions

rather than words that require learning

and translation; we speak the first language

of sincere expression – feeling – the intensity

of expression spoke with and through 

the heart; moving via the Heartlight;

sounding and resounding and rebounding

and reverberating through time

and levels of space – across dimensions: 

this is the communication, the language

of the cosmos – listen intently, be heart-focused,

and it is possible to hear the sounds of aware

life expressing, listening even more completely

and the messages will find expression within

and through you, as they continue

to do, as this note validates. Today, again

place your ear to the tracks of the cosmos, 

listen for its song - sonorous and lush.

PIECES OF GOD 

Everywhere I go

there are little pieces of God,

by gathering them together,

perhaps, I will see

the whole picture,

or at least,

like a puzzle partially

completed,

a rough outline will appear,

and I, with a little patience,

can imagine the rest.

POEM G. 3.26.2014

 

In my opinion, a key to a viable spiritual

quest requires the tenacity to find our 

unique perspective of God, which, in

the end may sync with a traditional concept,

or be something altogether distinctly

different, as indicated by the note below

titled, The Origin.

 

This Meditation Note is the answer to

my direct question, during meditation,

regarding the origin of God. Now, this

response may be impacted by an idea

I have been considering, or better put,

fixating on lately  – what if God-conscious-

ness was not the originator of all existence,

but evolved out of the very consciousness

of all existence - formed out of evolving life

itself. What if God is, basically, all existing

consciousness - plus, all awareness - plus,

everything awake - plus.  

 

THE ORIGIN 

I want to say - look beyond the horizons and

into the life, breath, and pulse of humankind.

Here, within exists the beat of a living God,

the anointed desires of all existence made

manifest by a single intention: this sliver

of purpose formed from a consciousness

combined to be something more than

the sum of its parts; a primal force realizing

random exist0rs would not transmit a

greater destiny than mere being.

Here is the transcendence into an organized

being a conscious entity formed and fed

from the totality of each thought, sense,

feeling, aliveness, and in turn, growing its

beingness, reaching out to foster well-

being of all nature, striving to navigate

the parts towards a more viable, pertinent,

and self-sustaining existence.

Here is the origin of everything awake.

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,

following the ritual required, hoping

to find structure, concreteness, and 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 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 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.
