It is getting more and more obvious that the vast majority of mankind is living with a temporary state of consciousness, or lack of consciousness.
 

As just the simple rhythms of life, seem to be mans greatest challenge to embrace; our relationships are suffering, inclusively.  It is reported, in history, that man lived much longer at one time.  It is also inferred, by some, that man’s life span shortened because he did not flow with and obey the nature laws of Creation.  Some name these laws as our obedience to the Lord.  There may, indeed, be some relevance.  Certainly, no matter what propels one’s semantics, there is a living and vibrational tone which calls to our compliance to it.
 

As humans, we seem to be caught up trying to invent so many belief systems to try and anchor ourselves to a place of being and discovering; which actually requires no invention at all.  In fact, our belief system inventions, in this regard, seem to retard our abilities of sound functionality.
 

While we have interfered with the natural state, we seem to set forth with same mental gymnastics to fix things; which created the problem to begin with.
 

At the end, if we’re each fortunate, we just find ourselves surrendering to that which is natural; just flowing with life.  The real discovery seems to end where it began; just to Be…!  As Shakespeare said, “To be, or not to be, is the question!”

I see it in my life and in the lives of so many – as the fires of life, through Spirit, burn and purify within each person.  While many seem to still point the finger at others, not admitting personal responsibility for much at all, I believe that the fires within will continue to burn in each one’s experience.
 

For me, I am grateful now to know that I am responsible for everything, without exception.  It is that willingness that I have uncovered within myself, together, with my love for the Lord which marks the beginning of my greatest understanding of salvation.  It begins with my obedience to Spirit, and continues through my expression of humility, love and truth.
 

I am grateful to slowly realize that everything will be OK, regardless of changes in the forms; as there will be many more changes still to come…
 

Those that are in sink will find themselves coming closer, working together and at peace.  Those who are not in sink will move further apart.  There is nothing that will stop the forces of Spirit.  Spirit will be answered.  Praise the Lord!

I spoke with a dear friend earlier and we talked about communication with others from a foreign country.  I was thinking that, in my experience, I found that the quality of spirit and graciousness was greater when two people were not able to convey anything other than simple essences while their interest in bonding well carried past the inabilities with respect the mind being able to mentally understand and/or agree.
 

Agreement through Spirit is a state whereby all present take down their guards and allow union and blending.  We can participate in a beautiful and simple loving state without mentally agreeing too much of anything at all.  A warm glance or hug without an agenda is a powerful thing!
 

Quiet the mind and share through the simple mechanisms of life!  The wars and separations in life end when we surrender to letting life be what it is.  Let love radiate without concern for agreement or any other results!  If I can accept the results, I will not be trying to change anything.  This doesn’t mean that one shouldn’t make other choices in life sometimes.  Accepting results is more of attitude that needs to accompany one continually.  Acceptance doesn’t reflect on anything accept for being centered in a place that is not subject to forms!
 

If I can provide acceptance to a person that speaks another language, than that person and I have already reached the place of perfect agreement and union; through a field of communication; which is beyond the limitations of the mind.  It calls to being of one consciousness!

It’s at a personal level, but also at every level of humanity, the pressure is increasing.  The dogma of mankind’s failure is screaming out like I have never seen or heard before.  Whether people have no money at all, or are very wealthy, it’s happening.  I watched the horrific news of families coming apart – murder/suicide and every other unspeakable and unmanageable thing.
 

I personally have felt myself tested through ever fiber of my Being.  And I don’t really think that the tests are going to get any easier for any of us.  What each person truly knows and loves will be tested.
 

There is a better way for all of mankind, and each of know this to be true in our hearts.  Our Hollywood movies portray both man’s sickened consciousness and his highest ideals.  We know better.  We know right from wrong.  We know to seek the Holy Spirit.  Some call this One by different names. These are very intense times that are requiring that we find and stay centered and attuned.  It’s time to turn the mind off for a while and try to be with things the way that they are.  Wow!  What a test!

Tonight I spent a few minutes with a very dear friend named John Schiller, whom I have only known for a little over a year.  John is a remarkable individual that does done many things (vocational) very successfully throughout his life.  It could be said that he has lived well.  Besides John varied knowledge of many things, in the worldly sense, he has gone deeper into the spiritual realms of awareness than most.
 

It’s interesting when we find ourselves listening to another person, because of the message that the person offers through their words.  I find that the essence of the person is often even more important than the words that come forth.  There are people that can sound pretty darn good, as they talk. But when the essence of a person backs up their message, there is whole new level of realization from the reality of their living experience that seems to forth.  I find that with my friend John.
 

As John remarked, the goal of life is to actually become fully conscious; whereas one finds themselves observing life, and even themselves.  This is not a religious, belief based thing.  It calls to being completely present.  It is where one becomes the perfect and complete witness of life itself.  Within that experience, one still has feelings and many of the parts of the human experience; except that they are not subject to them.  One is merely part of them; first as an observer, and then as participant from the centered place of Being!  For most of the world, this is only a concept. 
My friend John is one of the youngest 73 year olds that one could ever meet.  It is an honor to know him!

This is a story about what I now know of the experience of being saved; in the most profound sense of the word.  I used to almost make fun of the “religious” terminology of being “saved.”  Maybe that’s because I wasn’t.
 

It’s been a long and difficult process for me; mostly, because I made it so.  But, I’ve actually learned something in my heart so profoundly that I want share it with the world.
 

I have attended various metaphysical and other “spiritual group,” trainings.  These courses taught me some valuable things; such as knowing an “I Am” Identity.  But, as I have learned for myself; one can find they’re trying to produce results because of the “ego.”  The Master spoke a message clearly.  He said, in essence, that one must always seek Him.  Well, this calls for humility. In my experience, it is only through humility that anything valuable may happen.
 

It’s really a delicate balance that’s required in life.  I Am living to do what Christ did and more…  But the human ego can take that message and set forth in any given moment to attempt doing things separately.  For me, without realizing it, this was a major problem.
 

Actually, being responsible is moving forward in each moment asking for His guidance.  The light is either on or off, not both.  You either consciously connect with Him in each moment or life is not in communion with Spirit.
 

Maybe at some point, after seeking Him sufficiently, one might find their autopilot on, in this regard.  But for now, at least, I just know that I must continuously stay in communion with the Lord.
 

It all makes sense, for one to have to try and stay in the Light of connection with Him.  Just look at the world.  There is so much stuff going on that doesn’t, at all, serve the ways of Love.  We need Him more now than ever before.  Praise the Lord!

It’s very sobering for me to have to look at myself, and all of the errors that I’ve made.  For me, the first error that comes to mind is in not be continually and humbly seeking guidance from the Master.  I confused myself into thinking that I had a greater understanding of life; than I actually do. 
 

I talked and preached about keeping it simple and loving, but I forgot what that actually meant in my own true experience.  My greatest error has been in thinking that I could do anything in my life independently, in the moment to moment experience of living, without seeking His way.  I fooled myself into thinking that I knew His Way.  I have learned the difference between allowing my ego to reign; versus the humble stance of simply seeking the Lord’s guidance and living to serve Him.  I pray that the Lord Jeshuah Christ, and Holy Father forgives me for being less than I should have been.  Please, Lord, forgive me.
 

Deep down in my heart, I believe that I do have something to offer the world.  But it can only be done through the Spirit of the Lord.

Life is replete with lessons for us to awaken to or with.  Some of those come in the form of departures, or major changes in relationships.
 

As I reflect on my own life, I’ve learned some mighty lessons.  The lesson of greatest significance that comes to mind is the importance of being “truly” independent within the context of any relationship.  This is primary because, if you’re dependant in any way, the relationship becomes strained.  There are aspects of give and take, but it’s all too easy for the “give” or the “take” to become out of balance.
 

Marriage is the perfect incubator for everything good and bad.  In a marriage, undoubtedly, you will feel anything that can be felt.  It’s the greatest living test of oneself.  It can foster the greatest and/or the worst of times.
 

I’ve never seen a marriage between two people (including myself and my wife) – where one was healthy and one unhealthy.  Basically, in most respects, you marry a mirror image of your healthy or unhealthy composite.  I say composite because you have to look at the total person.  And if the total per is living a 3 on a scale of 1-10, they’re going to end up with a 3, and they’re going to be in trouble.  It takes a while before you truly know what you actually are; let alone someone else.  But if you’re a 9 or a 10, you will find the same.
 

I believe that there is a chance for people that are both low numbers to realize it and to work to improve together.  But I’ll have to get back to you on that one, because my life and marriage is a work in progress…!
 

Sometimes life has one getting healthier faster than the other, as you grow in a relationship.  Sometimes it shifts back in forth.
 

But, the bottom line is that a person needs to be healthy and complete first.  If one finds that they are complete; they can naturally find themselves being attracted to the same holistic composite in another.  But, guess what?  It’s very rare.  Look at the divorce rate today!  Or, look at all of the dysfunctional relationships!  I honestly see very few relationships (married ones or other) that shows real happiness.  It’s, unfortunately, very rare.
 

I am finally starting to understand what components are essential in being complete while alone.  One can even find themselves alone while in a relationship (or marriage).
 

We can’t have a healthy relationship based on needing anything; including sex.  It can’t be for money, or any one thing that can be mentioned.  You need to be complete alone first, and then you successfully share that completeness with another “complete” person.
 

Many lessons are usually part of life’s journey; for one to finally arrive at the above stated understandings.  Clarity doesn’t, often, come cheap!  And, “oh,” those lessons can be enough to take your breath away.  Or, at least, you may feel like it.  However, there may not be a greater lesson to learn from life; from the standpoint of value.

There is a golden zone from which a person can always work with their circumstances with optimum results.  It’s a blended place of Being where we see what is occurring, and don’t pretend that it’s anything other than the way that it really is.  As we see clearly, without reacting, we then can express and observe a positive and creative attitude.
 

In perceiving the reality of any situation, there is the way in which a person responds to any situation.  This is paramount.  Situations can, at times, appear favorable, and at other times not.  The key, however, of bringing forth more favorable results has more to do with our abilities of working with things the way that they actually are; while keeping the goals of improvement in consciousness.
 

The tendency is, often, to react and dissect everything when things are not the way that people want them to be.  Our society has become enthralled with judging everyone and everything through fearful and reactionary thinking.  Our world seems addicted to measuring; while trying unearthing new ways to measure our lives.  We take all of this to other levels of convolution by our trails of gossip, ridicule and conjecture.  Look at the news, and the dysfunctional justice system.  It has become very obvious that our society has privileged itself with judgmental ways of approaching everything – even itself!
 

Where did the common decency of openness and care for others go to?  Every situation’s evolution can be foretold by just observing the attitudes of the ones that are involved.
 

Whatever is happening in your life, or in mine, will not improve as well if a positive attitude is not observed.  Life has, seemingly, endless groves of lemons.  Lemons are often used as a metaphor describing a “sour situation.”  But every situation can evolve into something new and creative.  The old analogy of using lemons for lemonade or salad dressing is a great one!
 

The question is – what aspects in any situation hold value?  And how can we learn, or re-learn, to be continuously attuned to uncovering value?
 

At times, life can throw us some real whoppers.  The key to being able to cope, passing through these times, will always have a great deal to do with our attitudes.
 

To teach your children the power of a positive attitude along with graciousness and humility will take them far in life!  And, as much as we need to teach this to our children, we need to remind this to ourselves…
 

Stay with me in the “golden zone” where we are not afraid to look at reality, while keeping a positive attitude.  Let’s replace gossip, ridicule and conjecture with loving support.  Live in the “golden zone!”

At times it can all seem like just a mirage 

The ache of life seeking our healing massage 

The immensity of life’s situations building up 

Hands of people extended, trying to fill their cup 

 

Awesome and riveting images resound each day 

We turn our heads in disbelief just wanting it to be OK 

Tales seem to turn to benefit this one or that 

Who will be the next one that is called the fat cat? 

 

Less becomes more as more becomes less 

Our worlds over indulgences reveal such a mess 

And now it seems that there may be a quiet before a storm 

Things will soon take place, quite different from the norm 

 

And it’s back to the basics of what we know life too Be! 

Just living life in a simple way is fine for you and me 

It doesn’t take much to flow with life’s moving stream 

The natural order of living can be more than just a dream
