Banished Again Today

I am utterly lost, I feel alone
Suffering has come to stay
There is no energy for life today
Perhaps never to return

Is there lasting relief, somewhere?
Nothing holds a bright spark for me
Why does the Lightness come and go?
This darkness envelops me so

Photo by Sam Burriss

Something is so deeply amiss
I am warring within my self
My heart wants to soar and soar
My mind says, no way, no way

Fear keeps chanting
You are of no use, no use
My mind keeps repeating
Who do you think you are, you are?

Why does this harshness slay me?
I slip into my littleness
I forget who I have truly been
I believe the critic, yet again

Is there any hope left for me?
Do I deserve to be happy?
Can I pierce this raw energy?
Drawn knots keep me so deeply bound

Abject fear has a grip on me
Writhing and grabbing my insides
Shaking me up from head to toe
What is it I need to let go?

Ah, the belief that I am of no count
Worthless, washed up, and bottomed out
The thought that I have nothing to offer
That I am needy, small, and such a bother

Who is this harsh and bold critic?
She resides here permanently
Ever lurking in the background
Constantly preparing to pounce

I command total rejection of her spells
Never again to believe the taunts and lies
I command her to leave me in peace
I command in all the help I need

I cast her away from me
I see her crumble and flee
She is never to return in any way
She is totally banished again today

Make a Loving Choice

Beloved, who among us is not without fault?
It is through fault that we have the opportunity for compassion
It is through fault that we can forgive
It is through fault that we can cultivate humility

Fault is an invitation to awareness
When we are in the wrong, it indicates that we are paying attention
That we are being given the opportunity for a different outcome
That we can choose to make the fault right

Photo by Tim Mossholder

Of course, we have to begin with the desire to be at peace
That is an inner choice only we can make
We have complete control over what we want to project
Even if we do not project exactly as we might intend

We are given all the chances we need
To be the person we want to be
We have lifetimes to hone our behavior
To practice apologizing and setting relationships right

What keeps us from truly setting things right with others?
Pride, haughtiness, arrogance, shame, and guilt
All play to our smallest selves, keep us tied up inside
Unable to extend peace, defending our image of perfection

When we hang onto being right, we die a bit inside
We clog the avenues of love and kindness
We disconnect from our own true selves
Loving, caring, humble, gracious, open beings

Our souls place us where we can learn to make a loving choice
Grief, embarrassment, regret, and twisted insides may be present
But we are in charge of who we choose to be
How we choose to react and how we project

We will continue to be given the chance for peace
The chance to make different, loving, repairing choices
The chance to swallow pride and banish righteousness
The chance to be the person, we truly are

Will you take that chance today?
To repair a strained relationship?
To heal the darkness separating you from another?
To risk being rejected, even while you are making the loving choice?

Herein lies the way to inner peace
Herein lies the way to healing and respect
Herein lies the way to health and joy
Make a loving choice when fault comes knocking at your door.

Where is God ?

Photo by Michael Shannon

God is within you because you are the creation of Divine Source. You can’t really be separated from that Divine energy but you can actively diminish your ability to receive Divine support and clarity. Perhaps you have never had a Divine moment that you know of. Perhaps you like your life that way. You can go along for lifetimes without consciously activating your spiritual self, your connection with God/All That Is/Divine Source. The colors of your pallet however are likely to be muted in various ways. This is because existing only in the realm of human awareness is a limiting perspective on what you are doing here. When you narrow your focus to the externalities of life, you become increasingly consumed by human endeavors and the Divine Light and Love gets completely lost.

If you are at all curious about Divine energy, begin now to learn about this dimension of life. Ask for a Divine course to unfold for you so that you can grow in the conscious knowing of God/Spirit/Perfected Love. Do this any day of your entire life and it will be given. Spend time in Silence to determine what you need to let go of.  This is a different way to live. Knowing Divine Light, Love, and Connection is like adding color to a washed out landscape. It is like adding music to your day. It adds a huge portion of love to everything you touch. It is transformational and it is available to all people. However, you have to begin the activating, seeking, and exploration of this for yourself.

One active myth is that you have to be “a good person” to know God. If you feel you have made too many unforgivable mistakes, are not worthy of a connection with Divine Energy or just feel too negative about life, you may have mentally closed the door to Spirit/God/The Oneness. Then you make no effort to check out this Divine part of yourself. Here’s the truth though. One major reason to check out Divine Presence is to begin to heal all negative perceptions you hold of yourself. If you have messed up again and again, the EXACT place to address this is in Sacred Space with Divine Oneness. In Sacred Space, you can call for forgiveness, receive that forgiveness, completely set down your issues in the past, and make new choices. Truly, you get all the chances you need to make changes. The slate gets wiped clean because you call that energy for yourself.

You are nudged towards Divine connection through repeated unpleasant circumstances. Recurring physical pain, recurring failed relationships, recurring work trauma, addiction, chronic illness, and recurring acts of anger, etc. are all ways that you are being invited to go within. When you go within, the Silence and stillness enables you to figure out where you most need to focus, what needs healing and how to proceed.

By far, the biggest myth carried by humans is that God should make everything work perfectly otherwise there is no reason to believe in God. The reason to believe in God energy is that you are God energy in form and action. You are God personified and you get better and better at knowing that Divine energy, being that Love energy, and spreading it in the world. You are already wired for God because you are in body. You get as many chances as you need to activate this energy in the Earth dimension. So begin now wherever you are. Begin the search (or deepen the one you have) for your own connection with God. Go within and seek that two way connection. It will manifest in tangible ways and that energy will lead you to clear all your blocked energies of any kind to expand your conscious knowing of The Oneness/All That Is/God/The Beloved. Use the Six Step Healing Protocol to get you started. Keep doing the work. Keep showing up in Silence, no matter what. Keep seeking and you will find you way ahead.

Wired for Divine Connection

Photo by Rawpixel

everyone is already wired for Divine connection
the fact that you are in body means you are connected
you can ask and receive help where needed
if your request is in alignment with God’s will

calling for another’s downfall is not God’s will
calling for damage, revenge, attack, or payback
is not God’s will
calling for punishment for another’s actions
is not God’s will

calling for a person to heal may or may not be God’s will
if you do not get what you want
that does not mean you have not been heard
it means what you have called for is not God’s will

does that mean that your call was useless?
no, the calling forth is a beginning dialogue with God
the answer is not the point really
your call is the expression of your compassion

using your compassion grows love energy
whether or not the specific outcome is received
your compassion for others grows when used
more love begets more love

Photo by Jon Tyson

persistence in loving others is rewarded
with more contact and guidance from Divine Source
in how to effectively proceed
in how to successfully bring forth the healing you envision

begin anywhere in your dialogue with the Oneness
keep calling in love, healing, kindness, success,
support, clarity, clearing, and grace
for others and you will get better at this!

be the love you want to see
be a force for healing, love, and grace
use your compassion to grow into your fullness
all else will come, all else will manifest

The Other

My heart aches and hurts
The hatred of the Other is just everywhere
In hearts, in words, in news, across the globe
In the fabric of the past
In the trajectory of the future

Photo by Timon Studler

I so need a respite from hatred of the Other
From the darkness of the fear around me
From the active hatred of those who are seemingly different
From the unexamined actions of the fearful
From the harmful experiences of one against another

We are from the same cloth, the same Light, the same Oneness
But bitter darkness comes from within you
It is externally aimed but inwardly cultivated
The we-ness and the they-ness continually fed
A well worn path of judgement, costing all in body

Seek within, seek the Light, seek Forgiveness
Seek to clear the anger, the fear, and the pride
Consuming you and all you come into contact with
This is not your true self
Only a step along your eternal path

Photo by Cody Board

This too shall pass if you make it so
Profoundly enter Silence, be Kindness, hold Peace
These paths lead to healing
Lead to release from fear and terror
Lead to another way to move forward

There is really, truly, no Other
Their seeming presence is for our learning
We get to learn these lessons
Lifetime after lifetime
Varied circumstances, same lessons

We come here to heal the we-ness, they-ness
Take this up with yourself
Stop the madness around you
Seek Peace and Forgiveness
Begin to love yourself within and loving the Other will follow
