Spirit Can Only Find Expression, In The Present Moment…
Did someone say something about “trusting Spirit?” I am reminded of the words, “Be still and KNOW that I Am God.” Wait a minute, what does “still” actually mean? Does “still” require reading from something that was offered yesterday or yesterday? Are our minds still so off that we need to get our basic train of thought going in the “right” direction? Somehow, it seems to me that I am not really trusting Spirit – especially at this stage of the game – if I am not willing to “let” Spirit do what it wants to do through my capacities.
I have read soooooo many “Spiritual” Services and writings, in the last approximately 30 years, that I am quite sure that my subconscious is full of the Word. But, in truth, the “Word” can only be uttered and shared on an extemporaneous basis. Once it is spoken, it can never be the same again. Life never stops – Spirit is always available; but how about me? Am I available or do I need to live with a dual identity? Forms are rightly used by Spirit. The key to using forms well seems to be found in our ability to be present in the NOW. The NOW is a very quiet place where nothing from the past needs to be brought forward.
The availability of the space in stillness NOW, from the standpoint of experiential reality, is present from the steadfast generation of consciously shifting our Identity from form to Spirit. So many Ones have put forth generations of pneumaplasmic generation to allow piercings of the fallen consciousness of human veils. The Light from our center of Being has been allowed to shine bright. This is one of the key factors that allow us, in the NOW, to almost burn the books of yesteryear. We actually do need to acknowledge that Spirit has already metaphorically burned the Word right into our hearts. We are each called to the place of extemporaneous Spiritual expression. The perfect shift into the NOW has taken place for each of us to know through our individual experiences and to share with others.
It can NOW be Spirit that replaces old references that held our positions frozen. Let each of our capacities flourish in Spirit as we serve God and Creation through this Divine knowing in the NOW…!

The truth of these words connect with the Truth I know in my heart and challenge me to meditate on my personal level of trust. How much do I REALLY trust the Lord? Oh yes, I can speak words that eloquently declare a deep trust in God, but that means ‘nada’ unless it is backed up by living, by my own momentary living.
As long as there is life in this temple form, the connection with the pulsations from Source are available in each and every moment, fresh and new. Do I rest in each new pulsation, realizing that it carries the imprint of the Whole? If that is the case, why would I have to strain to access past expression as a basis for present moment expression? Wouldn’t the totality of Spirit be available in each new pulsation of each new moment?
It is the orientation in form that keeps us bound and unable to move with the current of Life. For just as a stream of water is a continuous and fluid body, so is the true consciousness of Man, created in the image and likeness of God. If I move with the flow in each and every moment, a momentum can emerge that gives evidence of an ever stronger embodiment of Spirit. However, if I insist on constantly looking to the forms that clothed Spirit in previous moments as reference points in the Now, I am orienting to forms and not to Spirt. That keeps the king of forms, the satanic mind, in power in my life, usurping the seat of power that only belongs to the Lord.
Oh, to be honest with myself, and to gracefully release the expression of each moment as sufficient unto itself–that frees me to be available to the fresh expression that Spirit would bring in the next moment, so that the Lord of Life may have the wide open space in me to bring forth the Divine Design, unencumbered by the past. If I truly trust Spirit, wouldn’t I joyfully surrender my living to Spirit’s direction? Of course, and that is the choice of my heart NOW!
