I find myself returning to the wisdom in Scripture that foretells the experience of the one that continually seeks The Way, The Truth and The Life!  It is said that the world of man will crucify you as you deviate not from the Lord’s path!
 

There are many forms of crucifixion.  Jeshuah knew of the loneliness.  The emptiness and loneliness took Jeshuah to greater place of understanding and realization of divine purpose.  Jeshuah, as sent by the Father in Heaven, could not fulfill His journey without completely giving Himself to the Father.  This is the only way to the Father; as through the journey of incarnation that is characterized by world of man in his fallen state.
 

I salute you who stand still and strong in the face of ignorance characterized by the fallen state.  Until each of us learn to be alone in our truth with the Lord, we will not know the truth of our Being.
 

Many “Spiritual groups” take the statement, “When two or more are gathered in His name, it shall be done of my Father that is in Heaven,” away from its true context.  First, before we can gather in His name, we must know the truth of what His name actually is, and means, in our individual experience!  This, first, must be known by the individual before it can be share by the “two or more.”
 

Today, we have all kinds of groups of people in supposed agreement with, not the truth, but belief systems that are characterized by false standards of identification.
 

The ones that know the truth in expression also know what it means to continually say through their immoveable expression, “Come unto me and I shall give you comfort.”
 

There cannot be any true bliss for anyone without bliss for everyone!

At one time there was a modicum of humility, reverence, decency and respect.  Perhaps, it stemmed from people’s worship, and/or fear, of God.  But now, a person can speak a lie about another and basically destroy that person’s credibility.  There is no one that is safe from this form of rapture, in this regard.
 

Today, there are individuals, and groups of individuals, that set forth to do one thing – stain other’s reputation.  It is such a venomous world, in this regard, themes of gossiping about another stretch throughout the world but certainly characterize America today.  There seems almost no one that is exempt from lies and viciousness.
 

What will it take for a reversal of this emptiness that characterizes man’s disregard for each other?
 

Today, we just can’t seem to find ourselves in agreement on anything except for disagreement.  To such a degree, this is the way that it currently is, as a testing of everything and everyone seems to be now considered to be “normal function.”
 

If someone puts forth something that we don’t agree with, we hide it and pretend that it’s almost not there; except for the lies that we begin to utter about it – so as to undermine any legitimacy.
 

It is truly a lonely time for people that wish only to honor each other!

I ask this question, of me, all of the time!  There are different aspects of being alone that come into consciousness.  The first one might be in reference to one’s physical proximity to another.  But it the broader sense of this word, it can refer to standing on principles that are not so popular amongst the masses.
 

To really get honest in this world where manipulation and illusion characterizes the current state, often takes oneself out of the popularity contests of life.  Let’s put it this way!  If you ring a tone of honesty in your world, you’re not going to attract dishonest people.  In this regard, common sense dictates that people might feel the obligation of getting more honest and real as they keep company with that type of expression or personality.  Just get real honest and see how fast a room can clear out.  If this were not so true in life, it could almost be comical.  It can make you laugh or cry – sometimes both!
 

In addiction therapy, through realization, there is a process called “Hitting your bottom.”  The bottom is place that I knew quite well, at one time.  Actually, as I climb the ladder within my own Being, I must continually release and purge parts of my old and inauthentic self.  I am blessed that I can be counted amongst the people in this world that actually did hit a bottom or two in my experience of myself.  For me, I learned that you can’t make the real changes that echo transformation without finding yourself somewhere that translates out to be the end of something else, or death of something, in your experience.
 

In religious terms, it is often said that you will not live until you let yourself die!  I can completely relate to that statement as an axiom in my personal experience.  But the dying does not necessarily require the end of ones living or life!
 

The “ism’s” in life host a stellar awakening that calls, not to pointing out the forms of things, but to a process of thinking and acting on a moment to moment basis.
 

Show me leaders that own the truth of each part of their living expression and life, and I will show you some very humble and yet driven individuals that point to their own lives first; as to the place that changes need to be made!
 

While you call the shit around you shit, don’t forget to name yourself as one of its creators!
 

Take a good long and hard look at your world.  It might be time to take responsibility for being alone.  The more people who are willing to take on themselves, in this place that we call life, the more people that will find themselves alone!  Alone is not a bad thing, and soon you may find yourself in the company of another that knows of its value also.
 

We can cry over a life that doesn’t often find the truth of itself revealed.  But, you can begin to wipe away your tears as you learn how to reveal the truth of yourself!

I had a phone conversation today with a very dear friend; one whom has continually defined and revealed, in my experience with him, the truth of love.  The man of whom I speak is far too humble to care if his name is actually mentioned.  But, for the sake of Identification, his name is Lou Rotola.
 

Part of the subject matter was where the gold in life was actually harvested from.  As our individual experience, and conversation, revealed – it is from the shadows or the darkness.  People of supposed spiritual enlightenment tend to pontificate on their woundrous experiences of the light.  And usually that consists of a bunch of regurgitated shit.
 

But who is interested and willing to put their real stuff out there to be witnessed by others in the daylight?
 

We often hear stories on the news about pedophiles and sex crazed individuals that we continuously judge; while we claim our personal innocence.  But who has the balls to say, “Yes, I can relate to that person’s attraction to the innocence of a child?” Who would have the courage to say that they themselves have masturbated while thinking about a person that they may actually have had little, or no, business thinking about?  Am I the only one?
 

The bottom line is that we’ve all had a hand (within the shadows of our consciousness), or damn close to it, in everything that exists!
 

There may actually be good reasons that we find our minds and hearts preoccupied, at times, in areas that we “pretend” not to entertain in consciousness.  What if the real gold in life is depended up our getting real and letting it all naturally sort itself out?
 

Which enlightened ones among you are ready to say to your brethren that you were thinking about fucking their brains out last week – just for the record?  Who is willing to be honest while also not presenting the truth of what’s present in consciousness in a way that suggests that the actual goal of the communication is to manifest the vision?  In other words – just letting the truth of consciousness be aired so that we all can learn something, and begin to appreciate it at a new level of consciousness!
 

Perhaps, upon our growing up a little bit, we can prevent others from being forced to act out of their emotions alone…  I don’t know if I’m all wet here in my thinking or not – but I’m not afraid to discuss it!  Are you?
 

Honesty is much rarer in most people’s experience than they would readily admit.  But, until I/we, can get honest with ourselves – we’re not going to have much peace!
 

So while you may still be putting on the Ritz in some parts of your being, think about the possibility of coming out of the closet!  In this sense, the closet does not necessarily refer to one’s sexuality.  People talk about the luxury of a walk in closet…  Well, whether they have one in form or not, most surely have one symbolically, as far as their living practices are concerned.  Be it in thought and/or act, many people live in fantasy realms that denote being in their closets.  How big is your closet?

As so many different ones embark on spiritual pathways that may lead into discovery of living purpose, it is almost always apparent that one finds themselves with an interest in serving a master.  There are belief systems that differentiate themselves while attaching a name and characterization to their Master; or their Lord.  Often, upon an internal realization, there becomes a growing interest in providing for the One that is seated in one’s consciousness as the Lord!
 

Gifts through many forms of worship are often given in response to an internal believe that all life was, in fact, given to that person by, and through, their Lord.  This relationship seems to further exemplify an order of beholding, or owing, the Lord.  There is logic to this premise of thinking, for many reasons.
 

From a sociological standpoint, common decency suggests that one pays back to the debt of being given something.  But, from a more self-serving standpoint, logic would also dictate giving to a source in life that seemingly holds one’s welfare at hand.  In these relationships, we are simply honoring ourselves through this outworking and form of support.
 

If we take this picture of receiving and giving forward a step further, we can also see the logic, intelligence and, perhaps, beauty of greeting all gifts that are offered to us as initiating a very important relationship to build upon.
 

If we begin to look at everything that comes our way as a gift that is actually an investment in us, we begin to desire providing the source of the gift, or investment, with a dividend.  It is no different than the planting of a garden whereby a harvest, eventually, is the result.
 

I appreciate it when I see a part in a movie where a wrapped up gift is given to someone, and they are so moved by the act of the giving that they don’t care what is inside of the wrapping paper.  To truly celebrate the act behind the gift, as to let that act continue in one’s experience, there is an immediate response with the interest of giving it back. Dividends of Love are the foundational aspects of abundance.  The spirit of this act alone may well be a key to what is referred to as the restoration!
 

We can begin to stop measuring all things and just delight in the continuous privilege of the exchange as it builds in each one’s experience…
 

Do you remember the story of the old wash woman that gave the Lord a very small amount of money, but it was her entire fortune?  This story depicts well, the value of just appreciating and not measuring; because each gift, no matter what it is, is a complete gift in and of itself.  Each gift completely shines the spirit of giving in its own way.  We can build on that spirit of giving.
 

Receive as a child and give back through the Spirit of the enlightened child.  Remember, the child just wants to keep giving – never measuring – just giving in the Spirit!
 

Let us work well with these gifts as we continually give them back; while fostering, together, abundance in each of our worlds.

The word divorce, with many, has almost an immediate negative connotation.  Separation, or departure, in relationship is usually what comes to mind first.  But there can also be other meanings associated with the word divorce.
 

As far as one’s relationship is concerned with anything in form, one can be divorced from it.  In this broader sense, it can actually be helpful to be divorced from experiencing a responsive relationship to form itself.
 

Some of the healthiest meditations foster guided pathways that relinquish one’s attachment to form.  In this process of relinquishing attachment, there is often, initially, a healthy substitution that assists the conscious effort to release into a state of Being that boarders an unconscious state of mind.  One could label this transition from a “Focused” point; to achieving an “Open focused” point. 
 

One of many useful spiritually based disciplines that come’s to mind; which can be helpful in assisting the transition from focus to open focus, can be found through some forms of the martial arts.  The late Bruce Lee was a master of this thinking and developed methodology to achieve it.
 

In the book written by Bruce Lee entitled, “Tao of Jeet Kune Do,” there is a page that names, very accurately, the experience of achieving, what I referred to as an “Open focus.”  Grandmaster Lee names this achievement as “Repose in the nothing.”  Here are the steps under the heading, “The Path To Truth” as I quote Grandmaster Bruce Lee:
 

The Path To Truth (Bruce Lee) 
1.    Seeking after truth
2.    Awareness of truth (and its existence)
3.    Perception of truth (its substance and direction - like the perception of movement)
4.    Understanding of truth (A first-rate philosopher practices it to understand it - TAO. Not to be fragmented, but to see its totality - Krishnamurti)
5.    Experiencing of truth
6.    Mastering of truth
7.    Forgetting truth
8.    Forgetting the carrier of truth
9.    Return to the primal source where truth has its roots
10.    Repose in the nothing
 

One could spend a lifetime trying to perfect this extraordinary possibility.  There were other great thinkers, also, such Lloyd Arthur Meeker (pen name Uranda) that taught the relevance or value of not defining or naming anything; hence, the perfect state of Attunement with Source.  Uranda asserted that you cannot be in the present moment while describing the past or defining anything.  This, too, is of the same thinking as Bruce Lee.
 

It may be that we become afraid of loosing something of value while trying to regurgitate the essence of it by referring to it, and so many things, by name and definition.  One can get so wrapped up in the jargon aspect, that it looses the original essence.  In this sense, “Repose in the nothing” seems to hold intrinsic value!

The understanding of essences, through thoughts and feelings, holds greatness that our communication must relearn how to creatively express.  Evolution surely dictates that yesterday cannot hold on to now, or to our tomorrows.  Our forecasts of tomorrow also don’t offer any justice for the now!  We set ourselves up with statements like, “History always repeats itself.”  It is certainly a matter of perspective.  But it might be more accurate to say that patterns tend to repeat themselves. Patterns call to an organic relationship and science of the “Patterns of Being” (Uranda), “Cause and effect” (Edgar Cayce), and the laws of physics.  It is also said that the only constant in life is change…
 

It is certainly time for us to live in a state of non-preoccupation.  It is also time to let the completeness of invisible clarity to come into form, moment by moment.  As this occurs, perhaps, we can realize the value of appreciating it without having to give it a name.  One day, after we remember, or relearn from Source, the language of true names, we can respect the proper (or creative) usage of articulation!
