At our spiritual center, I believe the divine self

or soul exists waiting for our operational self

to get so tired it finally comes home to who we

really are, to our true essence.  Personally,

my soul has watched patiently as I have struggled

through life in search of something I already

possessed.

 

How many times did my gentle soul frantically

try to get my attention as I wondered near one

precipice or the other. Although not yet fully

united,  I at least now occasionally meet up with

my true self and work to find a mutually agreeable

destination. Here is a simple Affirmative Thought

to serve as a reminder.

                           

SOMEONE WAITING

 

All along there has been someone

    waiting for you in the clearing

        of your heart – a tender, gentle

presence created from divine will –

        the essence of you – the universal

            you – the perfect you just waiting

     or you to finally arrive.

 

All along this you has waited for

    you to find your way, cut your

        path through the challenges of life –

watching you live in desperate search

        of love, of home, of happiness - alone –

            never fully able to reach out and

    pull you into oneness.

 

Today take a moment to reflect on the

    you who waits – stop and look within –

           say hello to this you – spend a

moment before you go on your way!

 

WITH LOVE, G.

CROSSROADS

 

In life, we often must proceed long before

all the details are worked out, before a clear

verdict is decided on, without knowing whether

this or that is the optimal approach or alternative,

forced to rely on inspiration and our inner guidance.

 

At the crossroads, our faith is often our most

cherished ally, providing us a framework with

which to measure the perceived pluses and minuses 

stacking up on either column, reminding us, even

in this haze of conflicting desires that only one 

criterion requires attention.

 

As conveyed, let us look beyond the ins and outs

of daily living, to grasp hold of our spiritual

purpose, our rightful calling, our divine mission

in life, choosing then the path stretching towards

this realm, even if we have only a vague notion

of its whereabouts, allowing God to attract us

to our greater good.

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 own

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 man.

 

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 the 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.

THORNS STUCK IN TENDER PLACES

Let us listen to our own soul’s roar,

forcing us to peer from inside out

and outside in, to familiarize ourselves

with the thorns stuck in tender places,

capturing our failing attention even

as we proceed on as if nothing hurts.

 

Let us recognize this veil of confusion instead,

as our distinctive vision blurs, and as such,

forcing our sight to focus on what we truly

are and deserve to be, not pawns but kings

on a sacred mission to regain our paradise lost.

 

Let us take this reclamation, without the taunt

of self–negation or abasement; forcing our

will only when our rationale argument fails

to deliver, fully ready to shed our worn

appearance and adorn ourselves with truth,

welcoming our noble transformation.

Morphic Resonance – the principle theoretical

concept and hypothesis of renown British

biologist Rupert Sheldrake, Ph.D.: who posited

that memory is inherent in all of nature;

with natural systems, such as termite colonies,

or orchid plants, or apple trees, or insulin

molecules, or humanity as a whole, inheriting

a collective memory from all previous entities

of their related system; available and usable

as a guide to enhance growth and development.

 

The establishment of our personal, individual

existence, before or after this earthly life,

has been a point of much speculation and

conjecture.  As with all things spiritual,

we tend to layer myth, wishful thinking,

and hopeful clairvoyance to come to our belief,

whether individually, or as an adherent

of a specific religious perspective.

 

As a true believer in the traditional view

of heaven, my wife Ann shudders when

I talk this way. Even so, I feel it is essential

that we not just except a standard answer

without questioning its veracity, at least as

it relates to our spiritual perspective.

 

My guidance, like the featured note, has

repeatedly pointed to not only an afterlife,

but a before–life, with this all too brief

time in between, a place of fostered growth,

an incubator of sorts where our joint

experiences are folded back into conscious-

ness, to be shared with those who are still

in the process of living.

 

It is not my purpose to dispel or disclaim

your vision of the afterlife, only

to stimulate productive speculation for

those inclined, who, like me, may find

themselves closer to the after part than

the before.

 

FOSTERED GROWTH

 

What exists beyond life, existed before life,

the presence, the essence, established as

fact and form, inhabiting all time frames,

all sequences presented as the possibility

to be engaged, offered for evolvement,

for enhancement, for becoming, in what

we conceive of as tangible life, to be allowed

fostered growth, creative blossoming,

experiential stretching; able to ascend

or pretend, or descend as occasioned,

and with this existential opportunity

a platform for emotional connection,

the extension for singular into plural

existence, forming a web of connection;

life integrated and tied together, using

free will to push the boundaries of possibility –

to grow life – establish potential, and

when fully exercised, to take this learning,

this insight, returning to where it originated,

to lasting consciousness, to share in morphic

resonance as needed, with all life becoming.

THE SPOT OF INFINITE UNFOLDING

 

Life is expression, full and robust,

the demonstration of a flowing and

flowering of intention, the consequences

of existence in all its forms and varieties,  

extending to reach through and beyond,

to grasp possibility and potential,

willing both into tangible substance,

experienceable being.

 

Every part and parcel of this orchestration

that enlivens our souls, pumps our lungs,

maintains our equilibrium, displays our

consciousness, is an active agent of life

evolving, the tentacles of God reaching,

imagining, envisioning via each sentient

presence, through each awareness.

 

We, you and me, us all represent

the ultimate testament to this force

of natural striving, this divine reaching,

this roar of heartfelt becoming, fresh

in its order, always presenting a continual

newness, an infinite surprise, a possibility

reachable but beyond reach, a solitary

point where life unfolds, erupts, comes,

goes, and becomes again: the spot of

infinite unfolding.

Today, let us spread the notion of hope to

ourselves and all we encounter, that even

when confusion, stress, and life doubts

have us reeling - the solution, the peace,

the truth - the way forward we need and

seek is within reach. 

 

OFTEN

 

Often from the confusions of life spring

    the appropriate solutions –

the answers sought, the way forward

    as if by magic appears before us,

clear and firm as if  it had been there

    all along.

 

Often from the stresses of life,

    a simple peace evolves

with a whispered voice reminding

    us that all is truly well, and will

always be well, no matter what

    we think is real or warrants

our immediate attention.

 

Often from the doubts of life,

    we learn to understand the truth

of our greater good, always poised 

    to overcome and challenge

even our darkest thoughts,

    knowing that we truly possess

the divine spark to empower

    our triumphant existence.

We, us, humankind, who forever exist as the

erupting force of viable life, let us know this:

from the very moment of first consciousness

our ancestors ripped at the light of the world

surrounding them, harnessing what was reachable

to create a more sustainable foundation going 

forward.

 

As we, in our lives now, add our footsteps to this

road, venturing onward, we must contribute, not

tentatively, but with our whole-hearts, knowing

the very existence of future existence depends

upon the nurturing of this eruption.  

 

Let us each wade through the morass of our

unique lives, clearing away the lethargy, 

stretching to discover what sparks we might

ignite; what fountain of life we might inspire;

what wonder - personally and collectively

as a family of beings – we might erupt.   

 

LIFE ERUPTS

 

The road is crisp

       with becoming;

            worn bare and clean

         by the footsteps

               of the multitudes,  

                     who ventured onward,

                  with clear dreams

              and overwhelming hope,

           with faith as a shield,

      determined to reach,

              beyond the constraints

                   of nature, of God, of man,

               envisioning a life robust,

       enticing, fertile with possibility,

                just waiting for the planting

         of their souls, eager

               for the sweat of their effort,

                          knowing, it is in this place –

               at this moment,

                                          life erupts.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

POEM G.  6.10.2016

 

SPARKING A FOUNTAIN OF YOU

 

Scintillate, being the spark of new life, flashing

forth the pure blessing and energy of being, here,

alive, on earth, emitting the essence of the you

becoming, share the exploding purpose of pure 

and worthy intention, a soul bursting with

possibilities – sparking arcs, connecting,

conjoined with life partners, to create and

recreate now, fresh, patterns of presence,

existence. 

 

Scintillate, with each motion, movement, 

endeavor, shine forth the astounding wonder

of your individualized creation, share the sparks

of love, the creative genius, the uniqueness of your

offering, allowing passion and purpose to ignite 

and light the way, knowing the material and kindling

for this combustion resides within you, now, release

it now, protecting each eruption, as each spark 

pierces the darkness, until combined, a fountain

of light, of you, sustains us all.
