A Spiritual Test

There is a spiritual story,
Of a teacher who tested his eager student,
By sending him around the marketplace with a bowl full of milk.
The task was to not spill even a drop.
The student returned having completed the task, and was praised.

When it was my turn to walk with the bowl,
I saw the hungry people in the marketplace,
And whenever I passed one, I gave him a cup of milk,
So that by the time I returned to to the teacher my bowl was empty.

He named me Compassion and kept me with him after that.

Cleaning Hearts

I had a vision of the hearts of humans being like washboards;

Once the heart is purified and made right, everything else that comes into contact with it is cleaned,
Including the body, life, environment and other people.

The Vision

I was shown a vision of a school that I am meant to create.

At first I saw it as a place of arduous spiritual striving,
But that wasn't right and the vision changed,

It changed to a vision of grace, peace and harmony.
And I saw thousands of angels lifting the students up.

It will be a place of ascension.

The Prophets

Having never seen them
I know the prophets by their followers.

Because of the compassion of Christians, I love Jesus
Because of the mildness and kindness of Muslims,
I know Muhammad.

Spiritual Intoxication

I told God to get me drunk or make this lecture more interesting.

RIP

They asked us to reflect upon this question,
'What would you want written on your gravestones after you are gone?'

My answer:

She was love itself,
Come to earth,
And so she lives forever,
And has not died.

Fulfill

Death is a tragedy when the purpose of living was not fulfilled.

Masquerade

This is quite a trick,
This masquerade ball that God is pulling off.

Wholehearted

I am in such a state of consciousness now
That it is no longer possible for me to have a desire that is unfulfilled.
The universe is so generous that this would be inconsistent.

That which I have is by default what I must be wanting,
And so I am wholeheartedly grateful.

The Greatest Gift

I'm beginning to think
That the greatest gift that Christianity gave to humanity
Was to blur the line between that which is human and that which is divine;
It broke down the walls separating man and God.

Free Will

When debating the issue of free will with a friend I said,
'Since nothing exists but God,
It's really all just Him playing hide-and-go-seek with Himself.'

Potential

I've grown accustomed to seeing nice people who are unfortunately stagnant.
There is nothing impressive to speak of in their lives,
Their auras have a pleasant, but dull glow,
They don't instigate much more than an occasional inspiration in those around them.

But is it any wonder? When we look at the spiritual striving and practice of such people it is also unimpressive.

Lost in Translation

Sometimes the poems come when I am in a state in between dimensions.
The vibration drops into my consciousness,
So the meaning is quite clear to me,
But I struggle to translate it into coherent human language.

Wisdom

Wisdom stops, assesses, processes and waits for inspiration,
It does not act from the mind or emotions.

Transcending Karma

The past is hard to heal from sometimes,
But it becomes clear that one need not heal all emotional trauma,
If going forward, one does not exist in or make decisions from the emotions.

If one lives in a state of utilizing higher wisdom regularly,
Past karma will automatically be transcended.

It's like trying to drive in bumper to bumper traffic in New York,
Then deciding to take a plane and flying over all of the obstructions.

Causality

Nothing physical is causal.

Literally

My poems are literal.
I am amused because
I'm sure most people think that they are metaphors.

None Like This

There is no happiness like this, spiritual happiness.
There is no inspiration like spiritual inspiration.
There is no stimulation like spiritual stimulation.
No wonder I'm bored on certain days.

Sidetracked

I'm trying to have a mystical experience but I'm getting
Sidetracked by writing poems.

Real Estate

When you have real estate in the another dimension,
Physical things suddenly become less important.

Faulty Association

I talked to the angels about human condemnation of sexuality,
"Our bodies and acts can seem disgusting, right?" I inquired.
Something about this felt wrong and the Divine Beings explained why:

When the acts are done with selfishness, haste, obsession, seduction, unkindness or a host of other qualities they are disgusting.
These qualities have become associated with acts which are not inherently negative.  In fact, when performed with the proper focus, feelings and intentions, the loving acts are beautiful.

Quantum Jumping

Because there are multiple universes
You can visit yourself in another dimension,
And learn wisdom from your soul existing as a version of you with knowledge you have not yet acquired in this life.

Blessings on the Scroll

What did I do it to deserve such blessings today?
The angels said, "These gifts were written on your scroll of destiny,
And you put yourself into an appropriate state to receive them."

Chamuel

Archangel Chamuel came to me today ...
I spoke to him in my mind,
And resisted the urge to scream,
Since I was in a public place.

But his coming was such incredible perfection!
He told me that he is the angel of world healing, among other things.
His symbol is a heart.

This is going to be awesome....

Mystical Experiences/ Balancing Acts

There's a delicate balance one must strike
When having a mystical experience in a public place.
One must remain in the state enough to continue the incredibleness,
But at the same time appear normal to passerbys.
It is quite a balancing act.

Being a Creator

Culture has evolved to allow for creativity;
Once we were no longer focused on hunting, gathering and basic survival,
The arts emerged.

However in our society somehow innovation has been suppressed again.
This is a shame because being a creator is one of the best parts of the human and Divine experience.

Proselytize Love

Sometimes when I see certain religious zealots I think,
'For so many years,
God let us humans believe lies!
Why?'

For love, I realized.
All that happens, all that we have faith in, all the stories we believe in have one purpose,
Everything in this Universe in just proselytizing love.

Beauty

Tonight I heard a song
Where sin was presented as the opposite of beauty.

I have a friend who doesn't believe in sin.
To him, I suppose everything is beautiful.

How Can I Best Give?

I dreamed that I was given to abundantly,
And so I was required to be generous.

How can I best give? I asked.
He liked that question.

The Spirit of God

The gift of the spirit of God is such that the warring factions within ourselves finally find unity and peace.

A Servant to a Servant

After seeing my pleasant demeanor
A woman asked me to fill out a customer service survey about her online.

I left the store, and reflected upon her request.
I didn't know if I felt like spending those few minutes,
If it was my duty or not,
Though I also didn't want to pass up the opportunity to do a kind act.

I pondered the issue,
And God said,
I will give her positive feedback ten times over on your account.
For now, you just stay here in contemplation with me.

Phew, God had taken over doing my good deeds for me.
He really is a servant to a servant
And a king to a king.

Royal Divine Nature

Some people
When they looked at baby Jesus
Didn't see a child but a king.

I want to look at all people and see their royal divinity.
