“Speak now or forever hold your peace…” These words are often spoken as a minister is about to usher a couple into wedlock.  But these words hold far greater meaning than just to be pointed at the world of matrimony.  These words speak to the importance of clearing the mind/heart of all things so that “peace” is the true experience in the NOW.  How many know this level of “peace” where the mind/heart are completely available NOW?
 

There has been an accumulation of thoughts and feelings that have laid festering like a veil, like a steel mesh, that has cocooned and holstered the illnesses of doubt.  But now, “The Clearing Cometh” for each of us.  Well, I know about your shortcomings and I accept and love you anyway…  Whose truth is that?  It is apparent that we (as humans) have not realized that everything is a part of us and of our whole.  Any separations that have ever existed are in consciousness.  First, there was “The Word.”  This is the result of consciousness.  “The Word” comes forth through consciousness.  Divine Consciousness?  Labels?  We don’t make something “Divine”.  We “Let” things “Be Divine.”  What…is he or she not “Divine” to your ‘understanding’–another cleaver word for ‘judgment’–of what “Divine” is?  I can only see myself in each and everyone.
 

Who is without a reason to be present?  How many things have kept YOU from actually “Being Present?”  Christmas has come and gone once again.  Were YOU present?  Were YOU the “present?”  ”I AM” is the only real present that we each have to give.  “The Clearing Cometh…” as each of us has the opportunity of slipping off the veil that had holstered our wits, as if our wits were a loaded machine gun that was ready to fire upon the world.  As we let “The Clearing Cometh…,” we have opportunity of disabling our machine guns.  There are much better uses of the metals and volatile components of such weaponry.  As we let ourselves transform, we begin to see what perfect use all things have and the beauty of each person that has stood behind all of the “things.”  But, first, “The Clearing must Cometh” to actually see the person and let the person see YOU…

I find myself in a very quiet place (how perfect that is!) as life’s circumstances have left me to be alone (All-One) on the eve of the celebration of True Birth.  The Truth of Man was born and may live and flourish in every NOW!  Have we complicated the truth of that outworking?  Does one await receiving a present to know that one is a part of something loving, rich and special?  There are stories such as “A Christmas Carol,” which depicts the challenged yet simplistically rich lives of “Bob Cratchet” and his family - Tiny Tim who was stricken with serious physical health challenges, etc.  In this Hollywood production, it is depicted that Life’s truest values were exhibited through acceptance and Love, as “Bob Cratchet” would not, nor would he let his family, judge anyone, including “Ebenezer Scrooge.”  How many families today know the true and intrinsically valuable message that came forth through this Hollywood production, knowing its virtues through the personal experience of their living?  While the movie, “A Christmas Carol,” offers much more to its audience than a story about how a cheap, very selfish man named “Scrooge” is scared into a charitable outlook on life, the ‘more’ is often overlooked.
 

In the past, we have based so much of our lives on material goods – having and not having – as people’s very worth has been measured by what they have had or what they have given.  The worth of a person had escalated to be the pinnacle of such measurements.  In this, the heart and Spirit of “Christmas” disappears.  What you can hold in your heart needs to be much larger than whatever it is that you can hold in your hand – whether giving or receiving.
 

The birth of Christ is the birth of Love.  There are nativity scenes that portray the birth of the Christ child in a manger while wise men bring gifts to honor their King.  But much more took place than the presentation of gifts.  The Magi brought gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.  These gifts were representational.  The spirit of a gift holds its true intrinsic value.  See beyond the actual form of the gift to that which is represented!  I remember seeing a movie called “Splash” where the mermaid played by Bo Derek received a beautifully wrapped gift from this man.  The mermaid saw the beautiful box and was delighted with it.  She didn’t think that there was anything more than this beautifully decorated square object.  She was touched by its beauty and that it was something that she was actually given (a gift for her).  Yes, pleased by anything!  Hmmm, imagine that!
 

The real gift is receiving all things in life as though they were gifts.  This is the essence of spirit that is required to know the experience of “Being gathered in His Name.”  This creative, radiant expression is the manifestation of the true “Gift.”  He that is ’gathered in His Name,’ knows the gift of Life – the gift of Love.  Be the gift!  Honor, respect and Love always are the true nature of the Gift.  As we give to our worlds, it must be done while ‘gathered in His Name’ for that which we give to be a true gift!  Hallowed Be Thy Name!

As I look at my Life, I can summarize what it means to be alive with two simple words.  The first word is “Being” and the second word is “Sharing.’  The first word (“Being”) applies to the position of readiness.  Sometimes we think that when One is “ready,” One needs to be prepared to do something.  But that is only the experience of the self-active mind which calls to an outlook of needing to adjust something.  We can’t actually “Be” with our world while always being prepared to adjust it or to even think in terms of adjusting.  Did you ever hear someone say, after looking over at a person who was just pleasantly glowing with joy, “What’s up?… what are you so happy about?”  Many people, heretofore, have seemingly not been able to know the “Joy of just Being” and subsequently they find people who just feel “complete,” for no additional reason except for their availability, through their ability of “Being,” quite strange.  So when it’s said, Look at that grinning fool who appears happy for no apparent reason at all – he must be a simpleton”, I hope they’re talking about ME!  The ultimate goal in Life is the experience of the joy of gratitude.  Do YOU need something special to feel happy and then grateful?  The most special ‘thing’ that I can think of is the presence of “I AM!”
 

The second word is “sharing’”…  As One knows the experience of “Being,” it can be “shared” with another.  This level of “Sharing” is a precious outworking of Life.  This is the beginning of knowing the experience of, “When two or more are gathered in His Name, there am I in the midst of them.”  This is the experience of the unified generation of “I AM.”  The greatest gift that any “One” can ever know is the shared experience of “I AM.”  This is the diamond in rough. The purity of the gem does not have to be cut to be found.  Through the perfection of the uncut diamond–“Life” in its rawest state–through its natural presence and expression, Heaven is given birth!

Recently I met a woman who had divorced her husband and she was telling me the reasons that she left him.  It was pretty clear to me that she had no real reason to leave him.  I don’t speak out of school and so I will not share any of her personal information.  I will say, however, that it was obvious to me that this woman had lacked gratitude and had been very self-serving.
 

Gratitude is the one saving grace in all relationships.  When we loose our gratitude for a person, they also begin to realize it, because gratitude is possibly the most needed and sought after human emotional experience.  Troubles in relationships usually take place when a person forgets or chooses not to show the other person gratitude.  In actuality, nothing should really need to come to a person for them to express gratitude.  So why should I be grateful?  The answer to that question is simple.  The opportunity to live and to have the company of another human being are privileges for which we can easily be grateful.  When we convey our appreciation for all of the things that we have in our lives and express admiration for those whom we are privileged to have in our company, it is a very fulfilling experience for Oneself and for all included.
 

If we were to flip this coin (gratitude) to the other side (the opposite of gratitude), we usually find a personality trait that measure things – always trying to make sure that a person is getting what they desire or what they think that they’re due.  The major challenge with such a personality trait is that the person who has it never feels that they have enough – they are never satisfied.  What does it take to make you happy?… or do you provide your joy wherever you are?
 

When people get married there is a very well thought out vow that is often taken: “For better or worse, richer or poorer, in sickness and in health…”  This vow has had great application in world of man because (heretofore) many have not been very much in touch with their own gratitude.  Some have seemed as if they were always waiting to get something…  In this life, we are privileged with the opportunity of receiving and giving things away all of the time.  When we think we actually possess something, we try to own it (or perhaps them) and that can be against life’s will.  Yes, this calls to both things and people.  However, the only thing that One ever has is a temporary role of “stewardship” in relationship to anything or to any person.  That is the true nature of the living process.  This also allows One the ease of gratitude because One doesn’t feel that one is due anything through honoring true stewardship on Divinity’s terms.  If a person lets himself be controlled by what he declares is missing or due, he is probably always going to be missing that thing or something else and become subject to experiencing a deficit in consciousness.

We are only truly free and having the experience of completeness as we let our worlds be released through our gratitude.  Another major factor in experiencing true gratitude has to do with how much inner peace and stillness a person experiences.  When I AM well in touch with my “Being” (my spiritual nature) through stillness, I find myself observing or hearing others through my capacities of mind and heart with a sense of adoration.  Stillness is the truest foundation of gratitude.

I have found myself in silence as the One Who Dwells Within Me has revealed something to me which has changed my Life completely.  Until a recent “NOW,” I had not the ears to hear nor the vision to see the truth – the truth of Creation.  Did you ever get exhausted from the noise in your world – a noise that you yourself may have added to your surround?  I did.  As I quieted my capacities down more completely than I remember ever experiencing before, I began to realize that most seem to have been trying to sell each other something continually in the form of declaration and acknowledgment.  I began to realize that every thought, every Word spoken, was like a powerful incantation that has gone into the world to sprout through manifestation.  There has been, in the past, an experience of ‘needing,’ which is never based in truth.

There is nothing that exists that I have not co-created!  We are each far from being impotent.  However, because in times past we have had an agenda behind almost every single thing that we have said or done, one that we could not even see as being an agenda, very little has changed. In the past, there has been an overriding tendency to acknowledge things that we knew needed to change – and all that ever does is energize it, setting it up to re-create the very thing that we are supposedly interested in changing.  I AM not suggesting that we pretend that something may not be the way that it appears.  However, I AM not present to bear witness to anything that is not creative.  In real-life terms, we really need to curtail our old conscious directives of monitoring and acknowledging that which doesn’t reveal Life’s Tone.

In the past, we’ve dressed things up to look like they were “Divine” in nature, as we’ve articulated that we were “Serving the Lord…??”  Yes, in times past, we’ve talked about “the Lord” in quite a cavalier fashion, like He was an everyday cup of coffee.  And yet, what does “Hallowed Be Thy Name” really look, sound and feel like?  Did we not grandstand our supposed relationship with the “Almighty?”  How would One, how could One, reveal the deepest Love and devotion for the One That Dwells Within?  And has, or is, this “Being” separate from YOU and me?  My true experience is always revealed through my expression and my acknowledgment.  But also, how much of what I’ve communicated needed to be communicated, or was I just trying to “fill” something that I felt was missing?

It is time NOW to let Spirit direct our Lives.  Spirit calls to skim (to cut away) the fat from consciousness.  Be still and know “I AM” takes One into a new place of Being, seeing, hearing, understanding and knowing.  But true knowing isn’t a definitive location in consciousness. Instead, true knowing is experienced through the willingness to creatively discover. NOW we may let our hearts and minds be full and complete through “Being.”  How many Words are actually to be spoken as One participates in the expression of true “Creativity?”  In the past, our consciousnesses have labored in explanation for that which has occurred.  Feeling the need to explain everything?  We think that we actually know something?…lol.  The One that knows is “still” and at peace and is often very quiet.  Have I actually known that Being?  I personally think that I AM just beginning to hear the true voice and beginning to know its truth.

What actually needs to be spoken, in the general sense?  How many “Words” have I wasted?  The greatest power that One has is their Word! Have I expressed and operated from the standpoint of need or of “Being?”  I may let my “Word” be completely creative.

I see a group of wise Ones sitting in circle of Love, just “Being” together as Spirit is slowly, quietly and creatively revealed.  Is there anything else that I AM here to do except “Be” available?  I invite YOU to discover with ME what it actually means to “Be” available.

A few days ago, the “Daily Verse” offered through www.theberean.org was 2 Peter 1:10-11:

(10) Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; (11) for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
 

Of late, I have been giving very strong consideration to the power of the Word!  In the passage above (#10), reference is made to being “more diligent to make your call and election sure.”  Most have not seemed to understand the meaning of these words.  What we “call” in life is what we express and, taking that a step further, we form an election.  This is the declaration, the promise of our words!  Anything less than offering expression to Spirit is a form of evocation.  We either call to and from the Living Spirit of Creation, electing accordingly, or we call to other things– imaginary things.  If I look back through my perceptions of yesterday/yesteryear, or into illusionary images of a future that has not occurred, I AM then not present to “let” Creation manifest through Source!
 

In the past, an incredibly large percentage of the earth’s population has spewed rhetoric saying things like, “Human nature is in a despicable state!”  Guess what, upon saying anything of that sort, we have given power to human nature to be in a “despicable state.”  The power of the “Word” is such a simple instrument and yet it provides an expletively powerful incubator of creation…  Words live in our consciousness.  As words are even thought, they move out from us like seedlings through our descriptions that sow themselves in the soils of eternity.  While offering a description of something can seem necessary at times, we best be careful while clearly stating that this is how it “has been” perceived - thus One offers the Divine opportunity of “evol,”  letting “creative evolution” continue on its Divine pathway…   Our words can come from one of two sources: from Source itself or from a dungeon of illusion (a consciousness dwelling in past or future).
 

I have taken notice of the subtlety of the dungeon consciousness as I have found myself, in most recent times, stopping mid-sentence when realizing that my words were spoken in a re-creative tense.  We have thought that because we studied past events with a consciousness that was soooooo… enlightened, we were gifted with ability of knowing what could never actually be known. The dungeon consciousness is often stuck on defining everything – it just has to describe everything, while trying to learn so that it can know more and more…  Well, stack up all of those learned certificates and you might be able to insulate your walls with them. Maybe they will keep you warmer.  I’m sure that they have some sort of “creative” use…
 

We have the opportunity of staying present and available to Spirit NOW!  However, until one starts getting over or past some of the unconscious and conscious addictions, there may be some feelings that one was not engaged in enough things.  Because, REALLY NOW – I need to watch a movie or read something enlightening or grounding; or I need to do the things that I’m ’supposed’ to be doing; or maybe I find myself dwelling in the  analysis of what I’m short on or what I’m due back…  My goodness, the list has taken us into oblivion and that is exactly where it has been heading.  STOP NOW and let yourself BE STILL!  Only on this basis, from the standpoint of one’s actual experience NOW, is the Kingdom of Heaven at Hand!  I call and elect that the perfection of Being is present and in living motion NOW.  Praise the Lord for the knowing of this truth!
