When I find myself feeling all kinds of things that are not particularly comfortable, this is the time that my faith in the Creator needs to be strongest.
 

Now, as the Holiday Season’s of Christmas and Chanukah grow nearer, the interest in celebrating the Spirit of Love is very strong.  But the Spirit of Love can be a tricky thing; if one is centered in anything else but Being an expression of Spirit!  This is why the emotional realm of many people feels like they are pushed and pulled to and fro; with every feeling imaginable accompanied by such levity.
 

As one is focused on receiving things, they are in deep trouble.  The greatest gift that one can experience is the gift of Being able to give and actually doing so!  So, it’s simple, really!  If you feeling a little glum, the solution is easy; as far as changing your feelings is concerned.  Simply step out of your glum little chamber and do something for anyone.  It doesn’t have to be a huge gift or act – just do something.  As you’re doing that something, you will start to feel something new – something better.  You begin to feel on purpose!  In this regard, I would say that the most selfish people in life (from the standpoint of making themselves feel good) are the most selfless ones.  They learned the secret of feeling good.  They’re giving mongers!  It just feels too good to stop!
 

There is another factor; however, we always need to give outward to life in balance with giving to ourselves and allowing ourselves to receive.  But, again, the best gage is usually our inner emotional realm.  Our heart signals our conscious when it’s time to step out and do some real giving!  Bringing joy to your world through giving is a most spectacular thing.  It might be as simple as offering a kind smile to another human being.  Giving comes in all shapes and sizes!
 

Since most of spiritual understanding equates being charitable; with being part of the Lord’s plan, we really can’t miss by participating in the process.
 

True giving is also not done with strings attached.  An old and dear friend of mine, who has long passed on, was a great one for giving very special gifts to people anonymously.  His name was Terry Crane.  I’ll always remember his beautiful spirit, in this regard.
 

As the true meaning of the name Jehovah is “God in action through man on Earth;” we can, again, realize the Lord’s plan through participation in the giving process, and particularly by “Being the gift” that comes forth through true Identity in expression!

These days darkness disguises itself with an attractive and articulate shine; as it pretends to be the Light!  I find myself just sitting in a quiet place and listening carefully.  It is obvious that man’s mind is so clever that it has learned to almost exactly imitate the Angel.  If you listen to some people speak, you can hear traces of truth that seem so enlightening.  It seems enlightening; right up until you start to realize what the person’s intention actually is and who is being served!  Who is being served is always the key factor!
 

The simple smiling love of truth is often cast to the side as some people’s rhetoric bullies forth to gain the attention of all.  But it can also be more subtle and quiet too; as the clever mind adjusts to draw in its victim.  And one can easily be fooled until one actually poses questions that call to the foundations of Love and Truth – who does it serve?
 

I remember watching a movie years ago entitled, “Excalibur.”  In this movie, there was a quest for the Holy Grail to heal the plight of the King.  The Holy Grail came in the form of a chalice with a beverage in it (perhaps water or wine).  But before the magic of the Holy Grail was activated, there was a question!  The question was, “Who does it serve?”  The magical answer was “the King.”  The Holy Grail always serves the King.  In real life, I would have to say that the Holy Grail must serve the King of Kings!  In real life, I would also assert that everything that comes to us of worth and beauty must be lifted up, just as the chalice meets our lips, to be in service to Our King – the King of Kings!  Even Hollywood occasionally gives us some valuable food for thought!
 

As I live in this place with a heart that only wishes to Be, in service to the King, there are no shinny false people or things that do not become unveiled through the true Shinning Light from the Truth of Love.  The truth always makes itself known.  But it’s also never to judge what is occurring in another’s experience; but it is to invite their truth of their Being into the perfect Light of Love.
 

I used go around correcting people; as I viewed them to be off a bit.  And then I learned that people can be off, in my mind, and it’s perfectly alright.  Sometimes, as I have found, through the silence of knowing, we can create the space by which another sees what is needed to be seen by themselves.  The greatest lessons are taught by sharing through Being, versus by telling others what to think or to do!
 

These days, I enjoy staying very clear and Attuned to the Higher Place.  Praise the Lord for all that He brings to each of us!

How many of us really discover the truth of ourselves?  It seems to be rare, indeed.  If you ask most people who they are; they usually start talking about what they do in their work world.  People indentify their worth through professional terms, or through their family associations.  But there is rarely a simple acknowledgment of their plain and simple self.
 

The self part of us includes a sensitive Being that can step out of the sociological box of life and circumstances.  Can we not bring more too each moment than that which remarks our education, work, family ties or other earthly achievements?  The earthly world of accomplishments and/or regrets always remarks that which has already past.  We can’t be very creative while living in the past.  Oh my goodness, as I write this to share with an audience beyond myself, I realize that I am the one that needs to know the truth of these words in my own experience!
 

To have the courage to laugh and sometimes cry, through moments of our lives, it is essential to be true to the Angelic/Human heart!  We can feel tremendous emotions as life speaks to us while changes occur of epic proportion; in our personal experience and in larger context of Self.  We are all in the time of change; like never before.  It can feel like being on a raft that is traveling down the most turbulent white rapids ever conceived.  Only trust in what we know to be true in our hearts can allow the safest passage on this most essential voyage.
 
The journey of the alone one brings him or her to the revelation that it’s “All-One” and that participation requires continuous conscious transformation!  The white rapids continue to churn; while trying to push each of us to and fro!  But once we realize that we’re set to sail this course, no matter how it can sometimes feel, we can begin to relax - even under the most extreme conditions.  Agreement in Spirit has never been more essential or needed, through every minute detail of our lives!  As we, together, declare the Host of Perfection - each One can remark nothing less!

There have been times in my life that I have felt tested.  It’s when life’s little challenges start to mount up and there seemed to be little, or no, light at the end of the tunnel.
 

However, insofar as the earthly virtues are concerned, I discovered them not to be, necessarialy, virtues at all.  Heavenly virtues and earthly ones are quite different.  I realize, in these days, that there is little that moves me away from knowing that all things always work themselves out according to Divine Design.  True Identity can only truly be in the Source of all Creation.  Everything else, through the world of form, is just like a sail boat tacking back and forth across the center of the wind (a symbol of Spirit).  One might have a compass bearing, but all travel is this relative to the wind.  That’s what moves creation and we go no where without it!
 

What I once looked at as being a “test” from life (a storm or two); I now realize that it’s just a part of the Creative Process.  True Identity is complete without concern for earthly results.  In these days, so much is working itself out…  It’s much more than can be encompassed by human equation or linear understanding.  To a large extent, many of us must learn to find comfort during tremendous transformation.
 

The only real question that is ever posed is this: Can I remain true to my highest ideals of understanding and knowing through Being, under all circumstances?  I say that I can; through the Identity of I Am!  I Am that I Am is always doing just fine…  How could the truth of that statement be anything but perfect?  On the other hand, I will not say that there aren’t a few moments that I don’t experience a little disappointment here and there.  There’s just as much disappointment as there are expectations of any particular result.  Divorcing myself from expectation; will always hold the truest test of Being conscious!
 

All that I, or anyone, can do is the best that they can.  It’s a creative learning process of life!  I can choose to let life work the way that it needs to.  As I embrace that, I know my true Identity!

This is the true test of being conscious!  It’s when all of plans and all of the humanly based promises vanish; almost as if they never existed to begin with!  The experiential void through such circumstance can take one deeper into Self than, perhaps, ever before.  There, begins to be the realization that an empty place in the human heart; can only be filled through the generation of something new, complete and incredible from within!
 

The truth of experiential void, more than anything else, remarks that which one projects outward overlaying (like a veil) the true vision of reality.  As a man that has always put everything into that which he declared important, in each moment, I find myself very aware of having had invented something within my own consciousness that was, perhaps, never there as I thought that it actually was.  This can be done at every conceivable level in life; personally and professionally.  You can never take from life; something that you don’t already have to offer to it!  I can only create from the mirror of my current reality.  If I believe something about myself or another, I can make it true in my experience – even when it’s not really true in reality.  The human condition is a great incubator for illusion; if my identity remains in the form of things.
 

As I have been waking up, of late, to the reality of my misconceptions and misinterpretations, I now find myself with a very quiet feeling inside.
 

I am (in part) feeling afraid of recreating something, again, from a place of what may be illusion.  I keep my conversations with people, now, very simple and without creating expectation or promises.
 

Most of my life, I moved into circumstances with a boldness and commanding presence; so eager to manifest something.  That old way of pushing things to the limit, and trying with such an effort, has now changed in my experience drastically.  I just never want to feel the same pains associated with delusions, as was a product of my thinking of yesterday, and yesteryear, ever again.  I am insisting that, within my own capacities, which I now embrace the lessons that life is beckoning me to finally have known in my experience!
 

I think that my experience now of myself is much different than ever before.  For many years, I did not offer myself the respect that I deserved.  And, consequently, if one doesn’t respect themselves, they also don’t receive it sufficiently from others or offer it sufficiently to others.  It all comes down to an essence of Being; an essence that is continually created at all of the experiential levels.
 

As a dysfunctional state is most prevalent in the world at large, it is very easy to look outward to try to attach reasons for that which one labels inadequacies.  But it’s rarely based in the clarity of truth; as avoidance in acknowledging one’s responsibility creates its own mirage!
 

The most valuable lessons in life seem to be the ones that are the most challenging to learn from…!  And, yet, they are truly the greatest gift.  While the student in each of us can whine like a hurt little child; even in the reality of such trepidation can be come some of the greatest of human realizations and virtue.

A world that is waiting for this and that to happen seems to be rather incomplete.  Some may remark that there are such terrible things happening in the world – unspeakable horror of all sorts.  From a certain vantage point, this may actually be a legitimate perspective; as there are things occurring in the world that are horrific.  It is often said that good and evil live together in this world; particularly in our current state of earthy focus.
 

From an objective perspective, I can appreciate the variety of view points that remark the experiential realities of the human experience.  But I also know for myself that all form is in a state of evolution.  As some ones are aware; the word evil is rooted back to the word evolve.  Evil is merely a state that remarks evolution.  The question then might be, can I let evil (through the determinations in my consciousness) evolve?
 

We look out into the world and see a variety of things, situations, and relationships, through a multitude of forms; that seem broken.  And, sometimes, we set forth to try and fix everything.  I find myself, at times, trying to “fix things” too!  But the truth is – that nothing is actually broken!  As I Attune my capacities to Divine Identity through the Divine Design, I begin to see the perfection of every situation’s outworking.  The question will always be – what is my experience through it all?  Because that which I am actually tuned into is of invaluable significance!  Am I complete right now?  I say, “Absolutely!”  It is as perfect now, as it can be for right now.
 

We sometimes speak of the “Garden state” – a state through the expression of form that mirrors the Divine Design.  I can look out from my place of Being and say that there is much that needs to shift in order to be a true reflection of the Divine State of Being.  However, if this is the perspective that I choose, and it still is sometimes, than I can be missing the opportunity of Divine acknowledgment and intervention.
 

One of the most important messages that the Master gave us is the absolute acknowledgment that “The Kingdom of Heaven is at Hand.”  What hand?  It’s my hand and yours and it happens to be NOW (the only time that will ever exist)!  We are Creators of Heaven in the Earth – from where?  It can only be; from the reality of Heaven in my Consciousness.  This is my purpose.  And the beauty of this reality is that I Am “Complete” right now.  Heaven is created in the Earth through the manifestation of Completeness; from the state of Completeness of my personal Heaven, and through our Angelic/Human Body’s Heaven collectively.
 

As the body of Heavenly Identity is known in an absolute way through Being, things are beautifully, magically and serendipitously Complete!  Let tears of joy remark the individual and collective outworking of Heaven in the Earth…!

One, who is very dear to me, brought to my attention that this day which is Thanksgiving is also my birthday this year; marking the completion of the 7th cycle of 7 for me as I turn 49 years of age.  I do feel that something has, indeed, completed in my experience.  I stand so very still, and with a feeling of reverence for life on this day (this new beginning) as it unfolds!
 

There are so many wonderful people in this world.  Some, I have had the privilege to know a little bit.  I say, “a little bit” because there is always so much more to share and to know of each One!
 

I see life as a blade of grass that has the fortitude of piercing through hardest boulder or stone.  We are each but a blade of grass, through our individual lives, as we pass through a myriad of situations and circumstances that can remark, seemingly, the mightiest of obstacles.  And, yet, we don’t often even realize our own individual fortitude, in this regard.  But our individual blades of grass, through the lives that we live, are doing quite well!  “Unconquerable life prevails.”
 

There is an invisible rooting system that grows steadily; each of our blades of grass together.  Sometimes we don’t seem to realize how connected that we are through the rooting system.  There is but One true root connecting us all.  This root is magical and comes in the form of Love.  Its thread is wound around every outworking, without exception, through the intrinsic dimensions of life.  We see some things in life and we might think – Oh no, Love could not have caused that!  But to know the true root of all things; is to know that Love is always in place and the greatest part of every outworking.  Love just waits patiently to be known, acknowledged and then eagerly expressed!
 

So, as you begin to see your life as beautiful and rich, and with the fortitude and resilience that characterizes Creation, you can allow your capacities to stretch outward as the truest of blessings; while passing through all of the things that we thought to be blocking the path of life!
 

Life can seem to move quickly, at times.  But the blade of grass holds its rooting and grows forth with a steady and easy pace that echoes the perfection of life’s Being!

For decades, the seeds of Love, Truth and enlightenment have been made available by certain ones; setting a course to be known in other’s experience.  For me, in the beginning of embarking on such a course, there were many aspects of it that drew a sense of awe.  This was because the quality of expression coming through a few different ones was much more bright and welcoming than the norm.  The distinction between such an enlightened expression, compared so many other people; is hard to miss.  However, to actually realize the ability of providing Light bearing and shinning reality, one begins to understand that it cannot be copied; like words that are just mimicked after hearing them a few times.
 

The living behind the words must support the reality of one’s true experience and deepest understanding for the radiant quality of Light to be present.  Ah, this, as I have found, through the truth of my own living, is no small order!  In fact, I would say that my own failures, in this regard, have characterized more of my lessons than any.  But, at some point, the equation shifted for me a bit.  I think that it may have to do with my moving from a point in myself where I did not require external agreement and support to where I actually sensed my own Identity and true purpose.  It is a place of Being that simply delights in living!  I love Being alive and my expression remarks my true experience, in this regard!
 

How does this experience that I have of myself affect the world around; so as to bring forth “restoration”?  The word “Restoration” refers to restoring the natural quality of life through the Divine Principles of Being.  It really cannot help but occur; as it remarks the only true reality of living!
 

For most of my life, I looked out and saw a world that was bleeding from wounds that were deep; remarking pain and suffering.  But I began to learn that it all was an illusion, and that my perspective of each and every situation was the catalyst for transformation to restoration.  In a sense, there is little to do but to let the power of the Truth of Love be expressed.
 

The experience; through the expression of gratitude and appreciation set forth the foundation of victory for restoration!  Restoration may sound like a fixated place of Being.  But Being, in and of itself, is not fixated.  It is a fluid experience and expression of Love, Peace and Tranquility that affords us the gift of greater understanding.  May we all be blessed with the simplicity of gratitude, empathy through the Creative Process, and understanding through life’s victories!

Just think of all the things that you think that you’re aware of, that seem to be happening; just within your personal set of living circumstances!  Within the human condition, we tend to give people, situations and things a life through our perceptions that they don’t even have.  Our mental construct, in this regard, is saturated (much of the time) with illusion.  In fact, unless you keep you focus and movement simple, clear and continuous it’s very easy to get caught up in a deluded state of consciousness.  We often stay MIA from reality!
 

I know from my own experience that I have spent so much of my life worrying or being concerned about imaginary situations that I have projected over what is actually real.  To such an extent, I have done this that so many times I’ve found myself feeling very stupid and very unconscious when I finally realized how truly off that I was.  Have you ever thought something was a certain way, and basically built a conscious house on your belief – but only to find out how completely wrong you were?  It makes you feel kind of stupid – doesn’t it?
 

We each do it a lot more than we think.  I think that this psychological condition comes from stagnation or from keeping oneself from moving forward and being creative!
 

Listening to the media on TV, or reading the news online or in the newspaper, reveals exactly what many, or even most, are doing with their minds.  We’re so busy trying to figure everything out that we often sit there thinking; while doing almost nothing creative.  Life’s requirements amass while we vacillate in our delusions.
 

What if we woke up one day and realized that there was nothing more for us to know?  What if we finally became totally and consciously present and found ourselves “complete” mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually?
 

Oh, wait a minute!  What about all of the problems?  Well, what about them?  Were you actually thinking of doing something helpful and creative?  Or should we waste a few more minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, and decades thinking about our “problems?”
 

I think that this is why “problems” tend to last as long as they do.  We just seem to get locked into our illusionary perceptions of things and do little else but think and discuss our fictitiously supposed plights.
 

Today (the only day that ever existed), I am so much more at peace than I can remember being before.  It’s not that everything is honky dory; but I appreciate this moment for what it is.  This is also the only real way to allow life to bring forth some new possibilities.  There is a lot more to Being conscious than meets the eye!

The words from a friend whom I may only have met briefly many years ago, reminded me (today) to keep on moving.  Yes, indeed, as Uranda’s words were well echoed; “Keep on moving Blessed One.”
 

Life just keeps going with its turns and curvatures in the road; with undiscovered pathways still to journey…  The heart, mine at least, tended to make investments; as a road into my feeling realm was opened up.  But such types of investments can be predicated on old illusive visions that deserved no tenure.  The truth of love is overflowing and is never in need of taking anything or worrying about being without.
 

So many things of man tend to be orchestrations of taking scenarios where one measures everything given; whereby only deficits are created, inclusively.  I, unfortunately, know this equation all too well; as the world of man seems almost endlessly remarked with such.
 

In this year of 2007, I common question might be; “What are you getting out of that?”  These days, is that not one of many, or most, people’s greatest concerns?  And one of the wisest of Ones once said; “Let Love radiate without concern for results.”  That is the only way to actually participate in the Creative Process!  Hmmm, can a person actually think and live in terms of selfless giving and do more than just barely survive in this world?  Well, it’s a very tough question.  Because, in my experience, you also need to understand what “Clever as a serpent and harmless as a dove” means in the real life experience.
 

There are not many places on earth that remark the living tales of Shangri-la.  To a large extent, you have to bring your own reality of Shangri-la with you through your expression.  And once in a blue moon, you might find one or two that are also dancing to that same wondrous drummer.
 

So a big yes to the One that remarks – keep on moving and let the will of Creative Purpose reveal the next and most perfect moment!  It’s always there in each of us, and before us, as we keep on moving…
