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.

OASIS OF SPIRIT 

An oasis of spirit waits within, even

in the most tumultuous of times,

to provide a respite from the noise

of the world – a place of peace and

harmony – a center of God’s grace –

by simply focusing on your breath,

your heart, and what you love –

you will be replenished and renewed.

 

This oasis of spirit welcomes you with

open arms whenever you arrive –

always ready to soothe your suffering,

clear away your fears, dispel your doubts

and revitalize your convictions –

preparing you to return refreshed.

 

Knowing this oasis of spirit is God’s gift

to you, to soften the ride – ease the

journey, as you grow and evolve –

as you learn what must be understood,

and travel on your spiritual way.

THE ANSWERS

The answers you seek are within you

            at the level of your soul – existing

as part of the divine spark, which

            motivates you to ask the questions –

while already knowing the answers –

            doing so, to assist with your growth,

development, and transformation.

 

The answers you seek are presented in

            every real-life experience – each lesson –

a living dream with meaning – directing

            you to discover the intended message –

a revelation – an obvious clue enabling

            you to unravel the mystery of your

authentic spiritual potential.

 

The answers you seek may appear before

            even the question has been formed

within your conscious mind – so ask:

 

“What message does this life experience  

convey, what am I to understand?”

 

and the true meaning will be revealed.

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

commonality - noun: the state of sharing

features or attributes. 

 

In our modern, often egocentric and ethnocentric

times, it is hard to see the common existence

that we all truly do share. We, as individuals, as

communities, ethnic groups, religions,

and as nations have found it easy to promote

the intrinsic chauvinism of whatever group,

or faction, we consider ours. 

 

Yet, the inspired message I receive, like the

one here offered is always clear -  that enlightened,

positive spiritual existence requires that we

understand our role as part of the commonality

of all existence. That our contribution made

daily through our creative labor, whatever

form helps stoke the hearth of evolving

life and consciousness.

 

So may this note serve as a reminder

today of this commonality, and how our

lives depend on this common undertaking

we call life. 

 

COMMONALITY

Today let us strive to open our hearts,

to share our feelings, to express our

deepest longings, and by doing so

reach a place of commonality, where

we each exist, one within the other,

overlapping souls in harmonic unison.

As we open our hearts, let us speak,

write, play, sing, build, create, inspire,

plant - all contributing to this symphony

of an evolving existence - no one voice

more earnest or essential than the

other - all equal but distinct.

So let our labor be a gift of love today,

our totem, our tithe, our tangible

offering to this life so enormous, so

momentous, warming our spirits from

the sparks of its mighty becoming,

knowing within this common undertaking,

our life, all life, is perpetuated.

Often, I allow the words to appear and find

their place as willed from beyond, or perhaps 

deep within myself, I am never quite sure,

and as with most things spiritual, the source

is not readily clarified. 

 

I do believe this force that touches our hearts, 

that some of us recognize as divine is not held

to our narrow perspective: our sliver of time;

but is, the becoming itself is the emergence

of life pursued, encouraging all who will listen 

to strive further, to keep pushing, thus being

made more alive by the very momentum 

created out of our living and like a joyful

child being playfully spun - shrieking

with laughter - cajoling us to spin faster -

please, faster. 

  

THE PURSUIT OF BECOMING

Allow what is to be, without fret 

or sorrow or consternation, 

being aware of the true destiny

of this existence, a life lived 

in pursuit of becoming

what has been established

before, and will be forever after:

predestined destiny, the arising

of fuller, more fragrant possibility,

do not dismay but flourish,

for this time has been and will

forever be a charted course

of a multitude of strivings,

reachings, graspings, and when

a grip is found, seeking leverage,

summoning strength and finding

new ground, an unexpected stance,

a wary balance, a fresh perspective,

a new, ripe beginning from which

to reach, to strive, to seek again

and again, and forever again –

in pursuit of becoming.
