Finding Our Way

There is something wild and expansive about my God
Together, we touch this human form of me
When I feel alone, it is hard to see the me in God
The Eternal connection keeps reassuring

Photo by Cade Roberts

I so need to feel that thrilling pulsing vibration
The one that tells me I am not alone
The one that calls to me softly and physically
Through my heart and skin and bones

At first I thought I was simply lightheaded
However, those feelings kept repeating
Until I understood that the vibration
Was my conscious awareness of Divine Energy with me

There is a magnificent thrill with that vibration
The delight of being quietly in bed and receiving
The ability and wonder of calling the Presence to me
My heart being swirled with that love

The lightness within has a gentling effect on me
Now the loving feelings come when I call
The self-critic and the fear had to go
They were not good company for us

For when I tried to open to Spirit
In a space of judgement and worry
I could not feel a real connection
I made the best of it I could

Now when looking back
I was just play acting
Holding a Sacred Soul Space for Spirit
Even before I was ready to meet

We have a wonderful quiet space now
Where I can go night or day
We know we are connected to each other
Even though we are still finding our way.

Humans in Spiritual Training

A voice emerged amidst the dreams:

You are a human being in training
You are a chip off the ‘ole block
You are eternal having a human experience
You are human created from Divine Source

Photo by Muhammed Fayiz

You have total free will
You are blessed with infinite possibilities
You are loved beyond all understanding
You get eternal replays with every life

You get all the chances you need
To make good, loving, and balanced decisions
Even when you mess up repeatedly
Unconditional love is always yours

You remain unaware of your true value
You fear, you judge, you push, you doubt
Creating profound unworthiness
That does not belong to you

You belittle, chastise, think poorly of yourself
For all kinds of unhealed reasons that
Put you out of sorts, again and again
And keep you from feeling joyful

You have a creative and powerful mind
You have consciousness and free reign
Yet the unhealed detritus of your life looms
Ever waiting for you to name, face, and heal

Love is what you must cultivate
Continuous love of self and all others
Love of every challenge that helps you grow
Love of all mistakes you make along the way

Photo by Eric Brolin

You come into life to learn more about
The love and wholeness that is truly you
You come to retrain your mind for compassion
You have endless repeating lives to make amends

You are continuously invited to get with your inner self
You feel there is not enough time to look within
You succumb to the seduction of your life
You are lured into distractions, away from needed inner work

One day there will be something you can not ignore
You will be off and running on the road to Oneness
Passionately seeking as never before
Full heartedly focused on your journey to wholeness

The choice is yours, ad infinitum
You can return as many times as you want
To a life where your unhealed energies still await
One day, you will pick one up and take it to completion

And then deep sleep was restored.

Who Knows Me as Deeply as You Do?

Who knows me as deeply as you do?
Inner peace is my lens on this life
Balance and rebalance are my goals
This choice can be so lonely at times

When I am truly alone, though,
I feel total, whole, and at peace
No one takes that away from me
Wholeness is impregnable, safe

Photo by Igor Kasalovic

I have a secret place within
When there, I  never feel alone
I  know I AM One with All That Is
I am seen and have always been loved

I am inured to harshness around me
No one can infringe or tread on me now
I am impervious to careless slights
Inner peace is my ultimate safe place

How do I truly know this?
Nothing around me has changed
All the same ones are still here
All the same games are in play

I am the one with the inner secret
I know Peace as others miss it again
I am the one singing of Compassion
Having touched to Wholeness, Beauty and Grace

It is not that I am somehow gifted or special
I am a devoted traveler along the way
I embrace each day clearing away the detritus
Knowing no end to the waste and darkness within me

Someone told me to keep on, keeping on
To never swerve from the path of clearing
To hold fast to the signs being given
Clearings are the direct path to Oneness

I persist and insist on being clean inside
To stay the path by facing my darkness myself
To demand of myself the time to keep listening
The inner strength to root out all offal and waste

I’d like to share space with all seeking
But you don’t fit in my inner place
The doorway opens only to me
And you would feel strangely out of place

You have your own paths and doorways to discover
They reside just past the business of your own mind
Your doorways within are always open to you
But each has to cultivate your own space within

Our journeys are vastly different
Though the methods can be much the same
We each have our distinct pasts to heal
Therefore, the journeys must be our own

So here’s to finding your own magical space
One that feels as soft as worn flannel pjs
Space that is delicious and welcoming you
Space where you know you are always safe and free

May your journey be swift to find
The place inside where Peace resides
Keep casting out the vast darkness
So only Love and Peace remain

This is the only way to know
The Great Oneness of All That Is
We clear away all the darkness
Then only the Light can shine through

When we’ve been here ten thousand years
We finally know we are whole
We then fully love and give back
Never to leave our home again

Meditate!

Photo by Nicate Lee

Meditate! It is truly the best way you can take care of yourself. This does not take the place of exercise and healthy eating but it does expand your ability to cope, to feel at peace, to feel connected to Divine Wholeness, to figure out your feelings and address them and a myriad of other positive effects.  In these bodies, at this time, meditating is essential to stay centered and positive. There is so much to be fearful of, so much to drain your energy, so much to worry about, and so much to knock you off kilter. Meditating allows you to recenter, to just be in the present moment and to breath fully. When you seek the Stillness and Silence, you will also become aware of what is bothering you, what you are afraid of, how you are not attending to yourself, and how you are being taken out by your unprocessed feelings about everything.

Why don’t you do it? I have heard every excuse in the book about why people don’t meditate. These reasons for not meditating keep growing until you try it. Until you really sit and be still, sit and be with your racing mind, or sit and seek connection.  You may be afraid of what you will find within. You may feel that meditating does not immediately respond to the issues you are facing. You may feel that seeing one more friend or doing one more round on the track is more beneficial than being still.  Whatever reasons you have for not meditating, they are not serving you well.

Meditation expands your sense of personal power, personal efficacy, personal integrity, and inner peace.  Meditating supports all of the efforts you are making in the outer world as well. It enables you to determine what is affecting you in negative ways. Meditating is a self-loving act of the hugest proportions.

The racing mind is always there.  When you meditate, you can learn to set down the racing mind and to breath in Silence. You learn that you are not alone when you meditate, you are connecting to the energy of Wholeness, Goodness and Eternal Connection. You are way more than your body and your life. You are literally here to learn how to Love more, yourself and others. All the rest is the staging that you are moving through for these learnings.  The only lasting thing you will create in your life is Love. All else is transitory. Even a legacy, being remembered for who you were and what you accomplished  is transitory.  However, the Love you give and receive is lasting because that shapes your soul, your eternal energy, and your consciousness.

As we know from science, matter does not disappear, it changes form. We change between form and formlessness again and again in our eternal journeys. What we take with us is the ability to manifest LOVE!  Meditation is an inner process to help you learn how to truly love yourself, others, and all that you are facing, even profound loss.  You can persistently try to do this through focusing on your external life.  It is much easier though to learn about loving self and others through an inner journey, even for extroverts, than to repeatedly make the same poor choices, to your repeated dismay.

Meditation is a learning process. You have the option of working through ineffective beliefs, reactions, and feelings without negatively affecting others and therefore yourself in real time. It is a win/win process.

The issue for many people is what to do with the feelings that come up in Silence. FACE THEM!! That is how you set them down and move on.  Name the feelings and command them out of your energy field. Unless you already have a process you love that does that, use the Six-Step Spiritual Healing Protocol as a way to clear out unhelpful  thoughts, feelings, and perceptions. Further, if you simply show up in meditation, open Sacred Space and sit, you will be led to the issues you most need to clear. The biggest boon is that as you show up, you get better at meditating. You will, with time, feel more peaceful. Keep showing up and trying this! You will also get more proficient in realizing where you are stuck and in clearing out blocked energies so that you can move more lightly through your day.  Meditate!

All else will be given.

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.
