I can only speak for myself, but in actuality, I don’t really know very much about anything!  And, in truth, how could anyone think that they really know about the totality of any given thing?  I’ve spent most of my life analyzing everything, trying to figure things out.  At times in the past, I’ve actually convinced myself that I really knew what was to be known about a given thing.  However, “Life” has always had something to say about that.  As the days in my life have progressed, I have found myself more and more in a state of discovery and through the realization that has followed, I have determined that I AM meant to stay in discovery mode - PERIOD!  And the application of such discovery brings with it the further realization that the true application of anything is a solo event or outworking, and then must be released and allowed to serve a new discovery process.
 

There is much at work in our mass creative field.  I have observed signs that have indicated there is an active, living knowledge that has been building.  It is ever building - a series of beginnings with no end.  There was an old way of thinking that deducted that a person should know more as a result of knowledge building.  But that’s a paradox when it comes to true knowledge.  There might be some accumulation of data that offers a tiny reference point of usefulness; however in truth, merely making the old collected information available is the key to its usefulness.  In other words, at least in my experience, our point of discovery must be so complete that we stand ready to dismiss all previous notions so that “I AM” is totally present in the “NOW!”  This allows the discovery process to be “Whole” through true identification, orientation, radiant application and expression in communion with Source.
 

Of late, I have been impressed by wisdom that has been coming forth through our youth.  Sometimes I think that our young Ones know a lot more than us older folks.  Through observing the screw-ups of more senior members of society, our youth has intelligently rejected our regimes.  Thank God for that, because that allowed new avenues of discovery.  The true discovery process has brought Our Being to a stance of full attention.  I marvel at the presence of Being of some of our youth!  They listen to what is actually being said.  Kids love to repeat our words back to us. This is good in that it gives us a chance to realize what we actually communicated and how it was interpreted.
 

Our leaders today need to be supporting and promoting our youth’s wisdom continuously.  It seems to me that the truest wisdom comes from “Beings” who are unobstructed.  Lack of experience can be the greatest asset to Spirit.  The old human nature way of thinking tries to hold its ground by claiming  that if others ‘haven’t walked the road before,’ they could not possibly know the path.  But, as we are discovering, the truth path is always discovered anew!
 

I AM so very grateful that true wisdom comes through innocence.  The bottom line is that we are discovering Life together through the co-creative process.  We co-create as we co-incide with One another…  Let us each learn to rediscover and appreciate one another’s innocence.  May my eyes, my ears and all of my collective senses perceive your intrinsic value and beauty!  Let’s us begin to know the beauty and truth of our collective innocence, together.

The real requirement for life’s true victory is simply a pure heart.  While the mind of man, heretofore, has only been evil continually, the mind can be used properly through its complete availability.  As the mind is truly made available, the conscious Light of Divinity can operate the mind.  The heart is the key to this outworking, as the passion of the heart is stayed in a simple place where One’s concern is in providing our “Being in Service,” absolutely and continuously, the mind can serve the creative process well.  Absoluteness in this regard is the key because the mind on its own has the tendency to try and create through illusionary perceptions of separation.  What we perceive, focus on and acknowledge expands as we create.   The ability to render continuous and absolute service through Life’s creative process, comes through the individual’s experiential reality of completeness.  However, heretofore, man has tended to measure everything while his sensing of completeness has been subject to his perception of what he thinks should be.  Measuring from such a standpoint has never been creative.  We can only measure well as our measuring supports creating or providing something meaningful (Love) and through Love, more of that which is helpful to Creation.  Let what is created be consciously “co-created,” as we are gathered in His Name.

I AM not here to monitor and measure Life.  Spirit does not require a person’s moderation.  One cannot offer naturally and creatively while there is concern with respect to ultimate determination.  Spirit works with each of us through serendipity, as we are in communion with Spirit’s Source.  The Divine Design is a simple one and is based in the Truth of Love.  Life is determined by Life, as “Unconquerable Life prevails.”  We can also call the determining factor “God” or the true names that acknowledge the Divinely Creative Perfection of Being.

The fact that our lives are changing very rapidly and that we are at least partially aware of it, makes it all the more important to be concerned with “Being in Service” to Creation.  Life sorts everything out perfectly and as we stand in the place of acknowledging that truth, we allow things to evolve naturally and easily through the creative process.  Gratitude does wonders and gratitude is exactly what a pure heart offers most easily and joyfully!

While the human mind, heretofore, has desperately grasped for reasons of all sorts to try filling  (attitudinally speaking) missing aspects from its experiential reality of “Being,” nothing that it could grasp could ever accomplish such a task. Agreement, when it really comes down to the bareness of truth, can possibly be best expressed through the simplicity of a warming, caring and welcoming glance, and perhaps even a smile.  While the human mind has, heretofore, not been satisfied with the simplest expression of truth, it has not realized what truth actually is.
 

I have looked closely at these capacities though which I have had the privilege to express Life and would be lying if I did not say that I, too, have had times of struggle, heretofore, with respect to periodic misalignment in consciousness.  Anything less than “Letting Love radiate without concern for results” could indeed be considered to have been a state of misalignment.
 

The Tone of Life is expressed through the truth of “Being.”  This is the Alpha and the Omega.  This is the expression of the One while the One experiences its completeness of “Being.”  There are not very many questions that can follow this truth.  I cannot think of any at all.  The mind can be in a state of Blessed quietude.  This place of quietude is the place of peace, tranquility and serenity – the foundation of serendipity.

In a recent Service offered by Sanford Baran, Sanford mentioned that WE are present to serve the One I AM.  I AM in full agreement with Sanford.  However, I process the words spoken by Sanford through a spiritually educated reservoir, one which is possibly more spiritually educated than the average person.  I was thinking that if a person who had absolutely no spiritual education heard Sanford’s words, he might interpret those words entirely differently.  Let us hypothetically say that a person without any spiritual or religious education doesn’t plug things into the equations that belief systems render.  They just take words for their face meaning and value.  So, “Serving the One I AM” would simply acknowledge that the person speaking those words may be inviting those within hearing distance to serve or to support his expression.  In each moment, the fact of the matter is that it really does come down to supporting one another’s expression.  And we don’t have to completely understand or totally agree with the words that anyone speaks to still be supportive of them.  Support equals the enfoldment and encompassment of all things, all Ones, through Love.  Everything in Life is enhanced by Love.
 

So, as I address my own capacities I say, “Let my clever mind recede as my ‘Being’ lovingly receives YOU – whoever YOU are -  to such an extent that I can say now that I AM present to Serve YOU – the ‘I AM’ which is not separate from me.”  We can divorce our old belief systems… and last time I checked they were still there.  But NOW is a new moment and so it is with what ‘I knew’… what I knew is what was and that is always a heretofore issue.  That which I know can only be known in the present moment, discovered anew.  I AM grateful to be developing senses that honor ALL and listen carefully to the messages that each One brings!  Thank YOU to each and every One!

Where could a Supreme Being be that was responsible for creating Life as we know it?  This question has “fallen consciousness” written all over it.  The question itself denotes separation.
 

Religions have created myriad belief systems that are mostly a byproduct of people’s agenda.  I say to you all, be very aware when you hear today’s evangelists preaching their religions and using their guilt and shaming tactics so that you will support them because their preaching is such a blessing (?).
 

I happen to believe in the Spirit of Christ because through prayer and meditation, I have come to know His Spirit and I have come to understand and to know that His Spirit is not separate from any of us.  The common denominator, Agape (unconditional Love), is the foundation of Life itself.  To truly know Life, we must know the Creator, and thus One must know in their personal experience Agape for everyone and everything.  Recently, an ex-girlfriend of mine who is happy married and living in LA told me that my blog (these writings here) have a Buddhist feel to them and that is why she could relate to them, as she actually declares herself agnostic.  I really appreciated hearing that from her because Agape is the truth of Spirituality and that has nothing to do with “belief systems” or today’s religions that have wreaked distortion for millennia.
 

Heretofore, many have been calling to our God for just about everything.  And all this time, all that we have needed to do was to lovingly take responsibility with God as we let Life unfold.
 

One look at Life and a person can pretty easily determine that there are a shit load of lemons growing (metaphorically speaking) all over the place.  But we’ve been noticing lemons in a negative way because we had forgotten about the great taste of lemonade and dishes like chicken or veal franchaise (mmm, one of my favorites).  We can create a myriad of wonderful things with just the components that we have at hand!  Through such a consciousness we begin to see God.  Where and through Whom?… through everything and everyone.  This is the living meaning of Christ.  Agape!
