NEW YEAR NEW LIFE

Passages...
One year passes away, another emerges
So in Death
the boundary between Conscious and Unconscious is dissolved
erased...
we no longer dwell in a protected world
but fend for ourselves in an Universal existence

In this life, in truth, we live in a very special
Garden of Eden, still
Yes, Consciousness has undergone a change
our Awareness has increased
From the Beginning, Man has/is undergoing
an increased progression of Awareness
So to, does Death signify another step
in the expansion of Awareness
the demarcation between Conscious and Unconscious
Vanishes...

So then,
the objective of this stage of life
is to prepare for the next
Specifically, to strengthen our Awareness
to be able to dwell in the Fullness of Life
Life without Boundaries between Conscious and Unconscious

Pause, if you will
take thought
Are you living, is your life directed toward
preparing yourself to live in the Fullness

Perhaps
this is what Jesus spared from telling us
that in Death we would be as Cosmic Explorers
stalking, naked, as it were, in an unprotected Universe
one with no boundaries between Conscious and Unconscious

That is why then He urged us to turn within
The Kingdom is within
only by turning within will we be prepared
In the Fullness we live
without it we sputter, we waste our lives
in empty pursuits
we decline, we die

     if you bring forth what is within you
     what you have will save you
     if you do not bring it forth
     what you do not have will kill you
                         
                       Gospel according to St. Thomas

BEYOND WORDS

Beyond words
there is an experience of unity
harmony and joy
beyond words
which requires only that we forget
the historical accident
that is one's self

there is a sacred thread
that runs thru life
but, it is beyond words

MAGNIFICAT - MARY'S SONG

THE FIRST CHRISTMAS SONG--MAGNIFICAT

MERRY CHRISTMAS

CHRISTMAS STORY

The Story told and retold
none can tell it
better than He

turn to the Sermon on the Mount
as for the first time
receive the words into your heart
go forth...do

Blowing in the wind

Abba - Money, Money, Money

WIND

The winds of my body
converge in my spinal canal
and ascend...
knocking on the door of Nirvana

TIME-OUT

Sensing the fragrance of the divine-self within
I am drawn into meditation
careful contemplation, ever vigilant
persevering
but none too aggressive

for a moment
standing on the doorstep of eternity...
then the moment fades, diminishes
back into time I fall

CROWN CHAKRA

Unbind the Root Chakra
feel it un-coiling, rising
yea, reaching even the heart, six knot prison
the Heart encased in reason
Undo, Undo Her bindings
free the Pent-up Energy of the Heart

The Heart holds latent energies untold
winds of the body
so assembled, winds and voluntary spiritual helpers
drawn into the campaign
start the Journey forward, upward
direction is meaningless
it is more aptly a sense of movement
orchestrated movement

assemble at the Gates of the Crown Chakra
may all the Body Winds work in unison
urging open the Crown
applying force only slightly, lightly
allowing the Light Force to determine
the appropriate pressure
when to surge forward, when to pause
when to retreat

but always working for expansion
finally, the Crown relents
opens unto the Heavens

The Soul is Free!

ANAHATA

there are times
my heart knows
I am in Heaven

they come and go
indiscriminate
it could be at the park
or standing in line somewhere

I give my Heart
free-reign
only She has the wisdom to lead
I, just an observer
Silent Witness

SOFT RAIN

like a soft rain
god's grace falls upon the earth
dissolving obstacles, obstructions
finding its way into hard places
freeing pent-up energy
restoring vitality

RICHES BEYOND IMAGINATION

What an incredible reality
is the Kingdom of Heaven
that it can be experienced
Here and Now

By simply turning within
stilling oneself
in a quiet, peaceful environment
a whole new dimension unveils itself

Putting oneself under the benevolent protection and guidance
of the Light Within
surrendering all personal agenda, desire
yet, receiving incredible riches beyond imagination

Who would know
the Peace Within is the fulfillment
of all human yearning
all else wanes in comparison

Exalted well-being is Exultation

THE SOURCE

As God spoke the first word
 the Universe came into being

In contemplation, go back to that Primordial Moment
Retract the Divine Word, letter by letter
till one reaches that instant of
Virginal Stillness
just in between the taming of the chaos
and setting the Universe in motion

In The Beginning, so The End
Return to the Source 

DID YOU NOT KNOW

Did you not know
but then
you have always known
haven't you
I've been waiting
deep in the place of you dreams
when you called was I not there
at once, by your side, in this place
us, who we are, where we are
remains eternal, only time changes
flowing like a river
in which we stand
ankle deep

BEYOND BELIEF

May the Forces of Light find expression
in my body
May I be possessed by Light
that it manifests in me
lightning the whole world
emanating from my heart to another
and to another and another...

Light as understanding, knowledge
as to how to become our own rulers
thus, entering the Kingdom of Heaven
