This past weekend, I had the privilege of caring for and being cared for by a group of Angelic Beings. In particular, we as a group were Blessed by the Leadership of two Masters in the Art of Life and Holistic Living. We were “Bathed in Innocence.” Please know that in this moment, at the very least metaphorically speaking, the palms of my hands are pressed together and my head is bowed to offer honor in humility as I type these words that echo my gratitude for David Lesser (www.executivecoaching.com) and Andrea Isaacs (www.enneamotion.com), our two weekend facilitators.

No, you don’t have to start removing your clothing. But you might start by realizing how agendas weigh us down, covering Life’s natural expression. The thing about coverings is that they tend to create a pressure. Eventually, when the pressure builds to a sufficient level, a release becomes mandatory. Now, think of the different coverings that are in our lives. We have the way in which we interpret Life. This is where emotional pressure often builds in the human experience, because of the agendas that form expectations. We are replete with coverings of many different types, as much of the earth itself is covered by man-made tars and cements. With such, we have stifled the actual breathing and releasing ability of the planet. However, as I mentioned and as most are probably aware, pressure must eventually find release. Volcanoes and earthquakes are an example of the result of pressure having built.

Did you ever notice that when we are feeling pressure or pressured, we loose touch with almost everything else? All that we tend to focus on is that which we perceive as creating the pressure. The reality of this focal point often increases the pressure even more, as thoughts can create and intensify energy.

Now, let’s look at the opposite scenario. Let’s imagine for a moment that you’re on a deserted island, lying naked at the water’s edge in the warm sun with a light cool breeze blowing. Well, there isn’t going to be very much pressure building up, is there? What a difference there is between the island experience and the experience that many or most have in their daily lives! The question is, can I still feel naked and pleasantly comfortable, with all of my clothing on, and far removed from a deserted island? There is something that affects One’s experience much more than the environment in which One has placed oneself. That something is the internal environment that One brings along wherever one is. The peace, warmth and solitude of the deserted beach can always be experienced within each of us. I’m not talking about letting One’s imagination run wild while coloring reality. As I allow myself to be naked with the experience of who I AM, I may then let a fitting experience be created! The oasis of perfection is within me – it’s within each of us. As I allow my cloaks and coverings to be removed, I actually find a peace that could never be known any other way.

In all of the human relations that I have observed, there has been a tendency for the ‘relaters’ to put forth that which they think is attractive to the other or others. Whether we can observe ourselves or not, we don’t often show our whole selves to anyone. This may be the saddest aspect of the human condition, because if we don’t let ourselves be seen as we really are, we also aren’t allowing our true selves to be Loved and appreciated – and thus we have an internal experience of being hidden, alone and unloved. As our true spirit must and will eventually find expression and release, a pressure is building! In the meanwhile, man continues to don his or her coverings, hiding the inner child and increasing the pressure even more.

The beauty of Life is that it naturally expresses and cannot be stopped for very long. The blade of grass will break through the boulder. The pressure is essential because it permits the eventual release and expression of Spirit. Once this is realized in the human experience, the coverings begin to be shed. OK, my dear brethren, let’s start stripping!

These are the thoughts that are moving through me. I invite you to click on ‘comments ‘ and share your thoughts and experiences on this subject.

Reportedly, a man walked amongst us over 2,000 years ago who was recognized by many as the Son of God. This One, of very special and specific Divine ancestry, reportedly made a strong statement that has been interpreted in different ways by different groups and individuals. The statement that this One made was: “I AM the Way, the Truth and the Life and no One comes to the Father but through me!” There is something very powerful about a statement such as this that contains no ambiguity. From what I have read of the Master’s teachings, none of it is ambiguous. Reportedly, the Master also said, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do…” OK, now take your living experience, your common sense, and Divine realization and consider these quotes together. Most Christian Religions have man asking Jesus for everything. The interpretation is that we are sinners who need Jesus to constantly bail us out of circumstances. But there is another relationship that the Master may very well have been inviting everyone to share. Because to create things in Life such as “greater works than these”…, One has to have an Identity that is no less than the Master himself held/has. The Master was referring to bringing forth miracles. As children of God, we are the Master’s brethren. The required Identity is made clear by the simple and completed identification with “I AM.” These words describe an absolute stance and an invitation to the Highest, to serve the Father. The Master clearly asserted that He that believeth in Him can and will do greater works than the miracles that man had witnessed.

Now, let’s really tie it all together. We know we really have to be at the top of our game (so to speak) to be doing truly great things in Life. You can’t go around and say negative things about yourself or anyone else. There are a few other parts to this outworking of living out the Master’s words that seem also to have to be in place. One is that I must know from the deepest experience of myself the strength of Being “I AM.” At the same time, I must know in my heart and remember very well that “I AM” to always consciously commune with the Spirit of the Master. This is the secret of actually filling out the complete expression “I AM.” It’s not asking for this and that of Him – it’s about Being so At-One with His Spirit that One lets Him act through US! There cannot be a separation in Identity. This is what confuses so many people. A relationship with the Master cannot include separation. If I feel separate from Him, I could never dream of doing greater works or anything of truly intrinsic value. I must know Him in my mind and heart to share in creatively generating from “I AM.”

This question may not be as simple as an individual might like to make it. The first thing that the mind often does is to stand up and say, “Yes, of course I recognize Love!” But the next question that might be asked is, “Where is there not Love?” Our human capacities have been trained to find Love by seeking the experience of being loved. This human approach is one of the greatest downfalls in human consciousness, plain and simple. As I seek anything from this earthly plane, I will not receive it, at least not ultimately. But, in all honesty, what do I do in my life to gain the experience of feeling loved? Even as I write these words there is part of me that wishes to know that someone is aligned and/or appreciative of this expression through my writing. The truth is, to the extent that gaining appreciation is the reason for what I offer here or anywhere, what I offer carries less meaning or perhaps none at all. We each have the truth, in this regard, for what we say and do.

It has been written and said that I AM to Love God with every part of my Being! But Loving God with everything seems to be a great challenge in the human, and even Angelic/human, experience. There is a difference between loving (complete Love for the Lord) and appreciating everything else in Life. This, at least for me, has been a lesson of great magnitude that has changed everything in my Life. I have gone through many stages during this Life experience. I believe that I started as many or most have, setting forth to achieve great things! And then some degree of enlightenment came into my experience whereby I believed that I had to shine some sort of Divine Light on the World to awaken everyone! Oh yes, I had something really important to share – because I knew the way. Well, that lasted several years until I started to realize that not very much creativity was born from my expression. In fact, I remember several years ago encountering someone on the Internet who saw right away what I was “trying” to offer him and he got really indignant and basically said, “There are people like you who think that they’re everyone’s teacher in life, who still have not learned your lesson because you’re the ones who are still seeking for that which you claim to be teaching!” Wow, did I think about this man’s comment for a quite a while! He was absolutely correct. A lot of what people create today in the form of their “enlightened” teachings is just another way to survive, to a make a buck or two. But it often has little value to anyone besides in areas of superficiality.

Today, while I do wish to get my words published so that I can pay some bills, what I write is from my spirit/heart, as I don’t set out to write anything but what is moving in my experience. I have discovered that only seldom does something really profound come through these capacities and it’s always when I have the real experience of Loving the Lord with all. To Love the Lord with all, I have to silence these capacities, open my heart and offer my whole self to that Invisible place to which only my spirit/heart can connect.

I started this particular blog entry with the subject of recognizing Love. It has come to my awareness that I AM not here to find Love, I AM here to find ways to offer Love. This is tricky because people are not used to being Loved. So when Love is offered, very few believe that it’s real! We all seem to be very concerned about someone having an agenda. When someone pretends to Love us when all the while they are seeking something else, it can be one of the ultimate hurts in the human experience. This forms one of the greatest depressions in the human experience. But there is a cure for this condition. It’s simple. It’s to Love the Lord Thy God with all. As I do that, I automatically have the capacity for deep appreciation and Love! There are no victim experiences for the One who Loves the Lord with all…! In 49 years, almost 50, I have never had less than a Loving experience while offering Love to God. The Lord is clearly the Source of all Love and as my Identity is in Him, I also have an unlimited capacity to Love…

This title is composed of words that I’m sharing with you, but I’m actually saying them to me! It becomes clearer and clearer to me that I can let myself stop my very human movement and offer a deeper level of Love than I have ever before. It may not look like anything is done very much different, but if absolute Love empowers whatever I do from even a slightly new and different position, a transformation begins! It seems that the key may be in always stretching a little further. The athlete’s destiny is to break his own record or to refine his skill to improve, increase his abilities. How then shall I let a deeper expression and realization of Love touch my entire world? This would have to be the ultimate increase as far as Life’s concerned. In this outworking, my human mind can start trying to use frames of reference to try and measure some type of result. But this is impossible because the entirety of the offering is a matter of the heart – not the mind! To feel like I have given my all is a quest and journey of the heart. The limits of the heart will always exceed the mind, as far as anything of true worth is concerned. My mind only assists, to the extent that it is available to be in Service!

One look at the world reveals that the bar for the heart must be raised each day, actually in every moment. We talk about letting old things be made new. Well, that may be able to happen from a certain point of view, but not if the heart has not raised its bar through the outworking. The place that our dreams may recall called Heaven or Shangri-la can be more than a fantasy, if it is created through my Love for Spirit. Again, it is a matter of the heart raising the bar!

There is a funny and awkward thing that happens in the human experience as I actually let my heart do its part. I can feel very vulnerable, which is often uncomfortable, since I rarely allow it to occur. But I know that I must go beyond what is comfortable to actually let my capacities be fully aligned with the allowances of Spirit! The experience of Life is different for each One, and yet I find that we actually share the same beautiful and tender heart when I actually allow myself to be present with YOU. I say to myself – don’t you forget that!

I don’t know about anyone’s experience except for my own. So, for me to go around repeating another’s words cannot really ever be much more than an exaggeration or a lie. In truth, if, when and as I discover the truth of Love in any given moment, it is expressed through me in ways that actually characterize the truth of my experience. While the world does not always honor such outworking by the individual, this is the expression of the truth insofar as any individual person is concerned. It takes courage to be true to Oneself!

When there are a sufficient number of people who know what it is to be true to themselves, we will find ourselves, and each other, more and more speaking in One essence as Spirit shines through. To be an actual expression of the One, I must allow the truth from my heart to be expressed! What is essential–that which is real–is not always pretty or clever, but it is of a person’s truth–their experience! I pray through, around and within these capacities to allow my most complete adherence to that which serves the Creator. May I bow my head to honor you and let my head lift high as I express from my deepest experience of truth centered in Love. It is a simple thing to know of my true place in any given moment, as I find myself bowing my head first at every level of my Being. It is only the servant within these capacities who knows his true place in the Heaven and in the Earth.

Every wrong doing that has been done by me or anyone was an outworking in which I shared and for which I AM responsible. To realize that all that was ever missing from this world was the expression of my Love, holds the secret to what can and must be present. From this truth, I can only bow my head again as I call these capacities to a higher place of Love than I knew before. This is the journey on which I AM privileged to embark.

One of my dearest and closest Angels offered a very valuable comment to the last blog entitled, “The Symbol Of Truth.” It feels appropriate to expound on this subject area further. Indeed, we affect the waters of Life in an absolute way. A scientific analysis (even though I try to avoid such) may be apropos to allow more of an understanding. Yes, as my fellow Angel shared, water receives a positive or negative charge and the water’s properties are affected therein. However, most don’t understand what significance that has, as it relates to living function. First, let me explain that the positive or negative charge can be better understood through observing how a magnet operates. A magnet has, as many are aware, a positive and a negative end. Positive attracts negative and visa versa. Positive repels positive and negative repels negative. Everything in Life is based upon attraction or repelling. All movement of water, mass and energy is based on this principle which comes to focus through many varied types of expression. There is a very important aspect of this that most don’t seem to often recognize. When anything receives a specific type of energy it becomes polarized from the energetic source. The polarization does not go away. It can fade a little bit over time, but the only way to change the magnetic field is by shifting the energetic charge, focus or expression. In Life, the obvious goal is to replace the negative charge with a positive charge. We don’t actually change the field of energy; we shift the flow of the energy. Everything has a positive and negative aspect. As my negative aspect is attracted to the ultimate positive aspect of Life (God or Source), the positive energy moves through me allowing my energy to be positive. But it cannot happen unless I allow myself to be responsive to Source (God)

This description can be understood and realized at many levels. In actuality, the positive and negative charges are both essential to Life. The flow of the energy is really the greatest factor. A battery has two connecting points on it, positive and negative. If a battery is not hooked up properly (put in reverse), its power is not accessible - no flow of energy.

Beneath the Earth right now, our Life-giving/healing waters have had their polarity affected. Subsequently, the movement of the water (from the standpoint of attraction) has changed. When we allow a positive flow of energy to come through us, water will be flowing in our direction in creative ways, perhaps as natural springs, for example. However, when we allow a negative flow of energy to come through us, the returning water cycle will take on a destructive force, as a tidal wave or a violent storm. How would you like your water? Would you like it to serve you or would you like to be served by the water? It works like this: positive radiance – negative response. (I don’t mean negative as in ‘bad;’ I’m referring to the energetic field.) A natural and creative response from water comes when we offer positive energy toward it. The negative field responds to the positive energetic radiance. In contrast, when we react to circumstance, we actually hold a negative charge and subsequently a negative charge repels a negative charge, in this case, the waters. It’s like putting two negative ends of a magnet end to end – they repel each other. If we want our waters to be attracted to us (friendly and connected), we must of be of a positive energetic field. Love is the only Source of the positive energetic field. The question then becomes, how connected are we to Love?

In the Catholic Religion, water has been “Blessed” for hundreds of years. Even though this practice may not have been scientifically based, there is something here that Spirit has offered us of which to be aware. Water is significant and essential to Life. As Life seems to be about 70% water, perhaps we need to be Blessing Life at least 70% of the time. Only Love can Bless. God is Love! And we each have been given the ability of expressing Love. The Blessing does not occur because I AM focused on the water. It occurs because I AM focused on being responsive to the Source of Life itself. On this basis, and this basis only, I can truly Love the water!

Let the waters within these capacities continually shift their energetic field so as to Love naturally. This is known and expressed through my spirit to the extent that my Identity is with Source!

Truth is not something that is known by very many. Definitions and even the most detailed explanations of truth have little to do with what truth actually is, let alone the experience of truth! As the focus of anything is in the form of it, and so-called details that the mind digs out, we get further away from the actual truth.

There are four elements or levels of manifestation: water, air, earth and fire. Life’s existence is known through these states of being. We also use these names (water, air, earth and fire) as symbols. Water symbolizes truth, air – spirit, earth – form, and fire – love… Today, we can observe great challenges in the earth as our waters on this planet are turning into storms, while other areas of water are drying up, not allowing man to utilize their life-giving/healing properties. Water is a very powerful element. Our very bodies are composed mostly of water.

It’s interesting that we seem to be finding ourselves in a compromised position with our evolving or devolving relationship with water. It is also interesting that water is something, in and of itself, that hasn’t changed. So what has changed? When a relationship with something changes, some aspect of the relationship has to have changed. That leaves “us.” We had to have changed in some way. This is a good place to bring in the subject, again, of symbolism. Remember, water is the symbol of truth. Could we possibly have gone against the water, against the truth? Could this choice on our part affect the life of water on this planet and our overall experience with water?

A sword is also used to symbolize truth because the nature of a sword is that it cuts through things to get to what is behind it, or to the heart of the matter. Water is like a sword as it can, over time, cut through mass - rocks and boulders, etc. It is a very powerful element. We can observe many different characteristics associated with water that collectively encapsulate the living truth. Usage of our planet’s water, through natural or “Divine” design, becomes paramount if we expect water to offer us its life/healing aspects. Our waters don’t seem to want to serve us these days the way that we want them to, as we have not lived in service to our waters. Mankind’s relationship with water has indeed changed. We can’t utilize water or anything else properly without loving it. Pollution is not a form of Love. Changing the nature of water through our chemistries is not a form of Love. Water is beautiful and perfect without changing it. There was a famous artist that said beauty is something that doesn’t need anything added, altered or taken away from it to be beautiful. In fact, once we change something , it is no longer what it was. We try to change things because we aren’t satisfied with the way that they are. We were given a beautiful life by God and He continues to give it to us. But what have we done with Life, besides trying to continually change it?

If I Love something, I don’t dissect it. If I Love something or someone, I Love and care for them as they are. Our truth, ‘the truth of Life,’ is dependent on our Love for all things in this way. It’s not dependent on us just for the sake of its Being. It is dependent on us, and us on it, to the extent that we have a relationship with it! We cannot escape being in relationship. And we certainly cannot escape our relationship with water, as an element or even as a symbol.

I AM interested in letting my relationship with all of the waters in my world become loving and whole. I Love water just the way that it is and I welcome whatever water needs to do so that what is natural can be continually Created. Let the power of water work its wonders through my appreciation of it and my Love for our Creator.

In the last couple of weeks, there have been two major (natural?) disasters that have claimed the lives of tens of thousands of people. This is just the beginning of major outworkings of this type. What comes to mind is a poem that I wrote several years ago –

Out of the Mouth of Babes!
As the words of Nostradamus have come to bear,
inner and outer politics of a nation, starting to tear.
Our world is amidst cataclysmic change,
as media and soldiers try to stay out of missile range.

The results of our choices are coming full face.

This time, will it be the whole human race?
We view our world as it cries once again;
the heart of mankind does have to mend.
I remember, years ago, in a media telecast—
the winds were ferocious and moving quite fast—
a little girl was asked of her thoughts that day,
as the world around her was starting to pray.
She spoke words aloud, of a mysterious truth
as out of the mouth of babes, here was the proof.
She said as sad as the destruction has been,
the hearts of our people have come together again.

The essence of this poem contains the wisdom of the heart. As our hearts have been vacant, so has our living purpose. I must allow my heart to return and stay in the place that gives thanks and offers Blessing. We have journeyed far from this place. It was depicted in the Bible that lamb’s blood was placed around the threshold of the home to protect against the wrath of disease and pestilence. The blood of the lamb is symbolic of the life force of the living Christ – of Divine trust, protection and sacrifice.

My Lord, man rarely comes to you any more, except to ask for things. We are like spoiled children who abuse everything that we ever had. So many people know nothing except for how to serve their selfish desires. You never asked anyone for their apology, Lord, this not your way – the Way of Love! Your Being stands in the Alpha and Omega – with the invitation extended forever to come forth to be with You in Love.

Each of us needs to stand still and deeply appreciate what is truly present NOW. One’s Identity is the Angel. Let my heart open fully and completely so that I may stand in the place to serve He that is Most High! Let my words be the Word that is extended unto Creation for Thy purposes, Lord. “Shehinah”

In many Eastern philosophies it would not be considered a waste of life to search for one perfect cherry blossom over an entire lifetime, unto the end of one’s life. Imagine going from field to field, day in and day out, just to behold one perfect cherry blossom. The ongoing search for perfection gives sound purpose, according to ones who are thought to be wise. Dedication to such purposes has created what we call ‘discipline.’ Through disciplining our capacities, we are taught to improve or gain abilities that can unveil newness and lead to perfection. However, perfection itself is neither a lifeless nor an unchanging state; both the state and the perception of the state do indeed change. Essentially, perfection’s true foundation must be called forth from another place that overrides the perception of forms. As one strives for the best (perfection), in the ongoing NOW, there can be the realization that all Life, and our perception of it, is like an ever-changing, ever-transforming expression that hosts infinite color, shape and manifestation.

There are a few things in Life that we could say may hold a timeless value or perfection; this is from the standpoint of form. Perhaps, the cherry blossom is one of those things. However, I would venture to say that only our perceptions perceive some type of form that has not changed. Could the thickness of the cherry blossom have changed? What exactly constitutes the perfection? How far into the details of Creation can our perceptions travel? Are not the areas of consideration, in this regard, infinite? Perception itself is like a child who continuously learns and awakens to more possibilities.

The beauty of setting standards and quests that we know always become obsolete (at some level) is that it allows us to stay in discovery. There will always be a more perfect cherry blossom for the One who sets out upon the search. This is part of the majestic journey called Life!
