God in All

I went through the day,
And before functioning like a normal three dimensional human,
I affirmed Divine Unity.
(How lucky we are that we know the secret that God is the one and only.)

So before having emotional responses to situations
I saw God.
I saw Him in the critiques
And in the apologies for criticism.
I saw Him in the books that we read
He was in the prayers that we said
I saw His hands stretch out in the giving
And in the receiving.

All in all it was a pretty awesome day.

How Convenient

How convenient that our best place of refuge is actually hidden inside of us!

Loaded Dice

I've always been good at games of chance,
Now I know why;
God's dice are always loaded.

When we live connected to higher causal dimensions,
How can things not fall in our favor?

Heaven Now

This world obviously is not all there is,
Or we would live here forever.

Let's spend our time breaking through to heaven now.

Be Still and Know

He never said it better than,
"Be still and know that I am God".

No I

My friend said,
"I beg God's forgiveness".

I said,
"That 'I' is your greatest sin.
Who are you to exist,
When He is all there is?"

Which Do You Need?

There are forms of worship that enliven,
And also prayers that subdue.
Which do you need?

White Horses

I have always loved white horses.
Now I know why:

I read revelations explaining the white horse
To be the spiritual nature that carries us,
The absolute faith, trust
And power that come from that,
And the freedom,
The wild limitless freedom of your spirit when God is unbridled...

I must have remembered this as a child
When I so loved white horses.

God in You

I looked for God in every church, temple and mosque.
I finally found Him in your eyes.

Dawn

The spiritual ones have to hold on;
We keep each other strong now,
As the world breaks apart.

There is a new dawn coming,
And we will be free.

Wisdom for the Universes

I had the desire to teach the inhabitants of the universes love and wisdom beyond anything we have ever known.

I quickly hesitated,
Asking myself how I could be qualified to teach all of creation?!
What do I know about the experiences of angels and other dimensional beings?

But I realized that as humans learn we are lifting up those beings who are within us;
They are part of us,
And we lift each other up in the unfolding of this all.

The entirety of all of the universes
Is within the human,
So to teach a human is to enlighten the inhabitants of all of the worlds.

Instantaneous and Lasting

If you can’t do it any other way,
Then dry worship is okay,
But its better to pray with your heart and lips dripping with love.

For me, thinking of God’s gifts to me,
Or spending time with those creations made out of grace,
Such as angels or saints,
And listening to worshipful music,
All of these things can push me into a place where my meditations are on fire.
Then my prayer-filled breath ripples through my body like a great cleansing tidal wave.

I think this is the secret to prayer,
Since the reward is instantaneous as well as lasting.

Stagnation

Sometimes on this spiritual path I think that stagnation is the greatest sin.

No More Waiting

After meditating for hours last night
I am experiencing time differently today;
The usual waiting time for everything is significantly diminished!

I turn on the tea water
And suddenly it is boiling.
I heat the oven
And my food is finished baking already.

I suppose I must be meditating in the time in between,
But I don't even realize it,
All I realize is that there is no more waiting!
Which is lovely, because patience wasn't my strongest virtue.

He Promised

I was a little sad,
But then God said,
I promise to never take anything away,
Without giving you something much better.

Quantum Jumping to States of Wisdom

Sometimes I read my own poems and marvel at the wisdom.

As Einstein once said,
Problems cannot be solved by the same state of consciousness where they were formed.

I'm glad I sometimes quantum leap to high states of mind.

Catching

Things like belief, hope, and inspiration are catching,
God make me like a wildfire upon this earth.

I am that I am

I am Hallaj's blood screaming Truth!
I am Jesus's robes that healed those who touched them,
I am Moses's miracle staff and the water that parted,
I am Mary's immaculate womb.

I am voice of the psalmist that melts hearts,
I am the mustard seed of faith, and the mountain that moves,
I am the bush that burns and the one who hears me speak,
I am that I am.

Haqq (Truth)

My blood pulses,
Haqq, Haqq, Haqq,

I hesitate to share this secret as the last person to do so,
Our brother Hallaj,*
Met an abbreviated fate.

But what is fate in the face of eternity?


*Hallaj is a Sufi saint who was martyred for his claim "I am Haqq", or "I am the Truth". When his blood spilled the drops were heard reciting: Truth, Truth, Truth

Rose Colored Glasses

Today I prayed,
Lord, give me your eyes,
Because I know you see with rose colored glasses,
And to you, everything is beautiful.

Nothing is Here but the Divine

Who am I?
And who's to say what is noble,
And what is wretched
In this nature of mine,
When nothing is here but the Divine.

Your Self

Surrender yourself
To the service of your Self.

Hearing Responses

God showed me today that He never ignores me,
That it's impossible for Him to ignore me.
I just have to get better at hearing His responses to my supplication.

For My Good

Sometimes I don't know what's happening,
But I just tell myself,

'It's okay.
The abundance that is,
Is just doing what it's doing,
Working together for my good,
And whatnot.'

Distraction

There are times when I KNOW my mental capacities are not at their best.

During those times controlling the mind is much harder,
And I thank God for the mercy of distractions.

Just Have Compassion

I begged God to give me a high state and wisdom
To help those suffering around me,
Or to take my life back,
As existing without the power to help would be intolerable.

"Just have compassion",
He said,
Even the simplest of people can do this,
Even those with undeveloped wisdom,
Even animals
Can show love.
