Another day

Everyday is another opportunity given us to become our own genuine self. This was not meant to be confusing nor intimidating. Nor was it meant to be a holy secret that only the most devoted sage, brilliant scholar or wisest healer could ever begin to unravel..For it is very simple. Each are born in God's love. God's love is perfect. From that perfect love we were created. So how did it come to be that we know not who we are, that we are no longer the masters of our own lives. Simply life. Born into a day that knows not perfection, we live the days, weeks, months, years......and in doing so, collect much upon our journey......... quilt, hate, jealousy, contempt.........the most damaging of all is coming to believe we are not worthy......our sins too egregious, our thoughts too evil, our hearts too empty, our soul too bartered to what is not even real..... a worldly pleasure........a tempting trinket.....a profitable betrayal.......a betrayal to ourselves . In words, a life of some regret with sentence's yet to finish and conversations yet to have. All consequences of being born into the classroom of life.

Nary a person standing does not feel some anguish, some pang of conscience over deeds done. Some even blackened to where their hope has dwindled to but a faint faint beam of light from a distance greater than they know. ....where we swim in our shame and wallow in our guilt. And neither goes but in a circle of contempt. Steps are meant to be taken in distance, not place. To those with little faith in themselves, know this. You are holy, you are loved and you are perfect, for God knows only perfection. And in that perfection He created you. Time is but our worldly dream, an illusion from which we wake in search of our perfection. We may not feel it now, nor imagine that we ever could..........but like our souls it does exist and given wisdom will resurface again. It is not lost, only unseen. Some worldly teachings, in the name of profit or judgement can be cruel and teach us wickedness does indeed exist in each of us. And that God Himself will judge us harshly and if we come up wanting, punishment will be swift and dear, more dear than one could ever begin to imagine. And so fear enters our lives. Fear of deprivation, fear of want, fear of ourselves and others, of our sins and of our hate. But our greatest fear of all is our fear of a God that knows not fear. We fear Him most intensely, we fear His retribution and His scorn.......for the world has taught us to deny ourselves by trading our own perfect self for want of mere worldly possessions and powerful ego's. If seen through the eyes of awareness, this seems most insane. for who would really deny themselves for nothing thereby giving over their sanity for insanity. In truth , we know ourselves better than that. Or do we?

struggling with an "instant"

It is but a wish for most to feel 10 feet tall and indestructible. A time when worries, apprehensions and fears are not. Oftentimes faith can be moment to moment.....for sometimes that is all we have at one given time. But its important to remember that our foundation is set in stone...encased in the granite of our spiritual fortress. this is but a simple yet very great truth. We are all born perfect. That perfection is where our roots are firmly planted....and from there we will return, untouched by the hands of time.

Time can be such a heavy burden upon us. Within its confines we live a dream. It is in this dream which enables us to find our way back home....to that spot of perfection. The way can be fraught with guilt, mis perception and fear........enough to drown the mortal man if given its way. But there is also another passage. Like the birds who fly in favor of the wind, we but ask the Holy Spirit for direction......and then we are no longer walking, but soaring along our way. the Holy Spirit requires but a single given step towards healing ourselves and others.....the rest is His gift to us. Like the unseen wind....His arms will carry us forward............that is His reward to us, His love, His generosity, His perfection. He lends us His until we find our own.

When life appears to go wrong, it is not because we are bound. we are neither tethered nor denied except by our own purpose. It is not the destruction of darkness to be sought, but rather a luminosity which vanquishes it. For never has there been a light that darkness had but vanished. By the flip of a switch we know this to be true. To believe we are "steering the boat" becomes but a child's calamity. As if the Will of God could be misguided by unknowing hands. Darkness can only be brought to us by the ego's invitation. It becomes apparent that darkness is but of our own making. the further from light one travels, the more obscure the way becomes. Yet there are corners at every given step....and at those turns a lamp there rests. and the way is lit before us. There is no question of this.....only this.

The book that changes everything.........

Unique and unrivaled, the course enables proper discernment which allows us to use our perception and vision to see the Will of God in all we do. The time will come for all to see there really is no turning away. The fork in the road was long, long ago......further back than we consciously remember, and yet just a moment past that we have discovered the real difference between happiness and the want of it........As if there was a choice to be had, I journey towards a promise and a prayer and find my way between the two. Would that my footsteps be lighter still............so much more softly I would tread......And listen.........to the silence......beyond imagination, beyond space, beyond that which I have yet to learn..In this stillness God's Voice is heard. He will not shout to be heard. He will not raise His Voice a notch. He speaks in utter silence and fills the spirit with wisdom so longed for. It is up to each to hear Those words. For if we don't, it is only because the mind is neither quiet nor empty. Thoughts are yet clattering in the background drowning out the Words one longs to hear. In this I would sabotage my own pray, my own request by my own unreceptivness. Eyes cast down in reverence, ears ever sharp and ready, I travel to a place which takes me beyond space, beyond time, beyond the beyond I know not. A splendidly quiet place where concern has no residence and worry has no meaning. Like a feather falling from high, so airy and light, its descent is less than a whisper yet a nodge surely felt. This is where God's Voice is heard. In the meadow of our mind. In the betterment of our senses....in the seat of our contentment...... in the being of our spirit.... in the soul of our intuition, ..... in the beat of our heart. Look no further.....to do so is madness. It is in this sacred place of silent holiness we learn the truth, and we search no further.

Out of the darkness.............

We all enter times of darkness. Where the spirit feels weak and faith falls woefully short of what we had believed was so much stronger. In these times, when light is but a spark and the way is laden with difficulties, I strive to remember the brilliance contained in that tiny flickering, glimmer of light. Leaning on faith and belief to prevail with my inner struggle to remember the Voice of God and my own perfect self.

There lies great comfort in knowing that while darkness may accompany me but for a brief while, knowledge becomes age old wisdom that diligently reminds me to remember to fight it not, to resist it not, but to surrender, that this to shall come to pass and in its wake pain will vanish along with fear and doubt.I need only recall the will that binds spirit to me, casting Its light and vision upon a well worn pathway leading straight to the arms of deliverance..

With closed eyes and open heart my prayer is offered up to the Holy Spirit.

"I pray Holy Spirit, that my burden be lightened, that my heart soar with joy knowing I will be lifted from this darkness. Help me fuel the fiery particle which appears but a sliver thin beam of light within myself and in those I had thought to oppose me. This glowing spark of knowledge and love will light my inner lamp with a brilliance I had long since forgotten."

My lessons from this have been many and of great consequence. Life is cyclical in both nature and spirit. Despite misgivings and doubts I fall back in the warm loving arms of faith and trust, love and knowledge.

The ego manages to rage uncontrollably within........wanting out from its confines to attack, to judge, to tempt, yet I know it will bring but a momentary illusionary relief...... and to give into its madness would be my own insanity. The egos talons can hold me fast and certain if I but allow it. So I must keep my attendance on the ego's rival and trust my being to the Holy Spirit. It is reality and eternity I seek. It is the gathering of every Son and Daughter of God within reach, sharing the wisdom and knowledge of our life's purpose. It is written, "Seek and you shall find....in this I promise."
