Removing the Mask

Posted on by

You can drape it with silk
and encrust it with jewels
but sooner or later
you realize
your mask
has served it’s purpose
and it’s time
to lovingly remove it
and set it aside
to experience and embrace
the Beloved Self
who you have always been
and have yet to become.

Expanding Consciousness

Posted on by

Consciousness
is continually expanding
the more easily we flow
with the unfoldment of life
the more gracious and illustrious
our new creations become.

Freedom

Posted on by

I awoke this morning
filled with glee
all-that-is
has enveloped me
with places to go
beings to see
no holding me back
I’ve got to be free.

In This Moment

Posted on by

Always do whatever
feels appropriate
in this moment
without looking back
without judgment

For this moment
is not the same
as the moments
that have passed

This circumstance
is not the same
as the circumstances
that have passed

Each moment
each aspect of yourself
each circumstance
is new unto itself

Be present
in this moment
and allow the wisdom
of your heart to lead
without judgment.

In the Depth of Your Being

Posted on by

You have always feared
that the deeper you go
the heavier and murkier
the energies become
so you continue to reach
for higher vibrations
above and beyond
outside of yourself

When you transcend duality
you discover that Love and Joy
are woven throughout
all vibrations
all dimensions
and all-that-is

It is not a higher vibration
it is the expansion
of consciousness
you are yearning for
where Love and Joy
reveal itself to you
in the very depth of your being
where Heaven on Earth
is nestled within
your human heart.*

My Own Reality

Posted on by

My current point of consciousness
where I place my attention
is my only reality
everything else is
null and void
in this moment

There is no need
to resurrect the past
to engage
in past suffering
to face old dragons
rewrite the old stories

By being steadfast
in my present
point of consciousness
everything else
effortlessly
fades away

Indeed we see life
through our own filters
but even they dissolve
when we release
judgment of the past
and fear of the future

Indeed we interact
with group consciousness
but it is our own
point of consciousness
that creates
within the group

Therefore, carefully choose
your point of consciousness
be steadfast
in attending to it
and allow everything else
to effortlessly dissolve

THIS is how we create
our own reality.

Sacred Lover

Posted on by

I whisper to you
as your sacred
and intimate lover
for that is who I AM
the one
who has loved you
into being
from your origin
through every lifetime
every experience
every nuance of life
expanding
your consciousness
your wisdom
your ability
to enjoy life
from eternally
new potentials
for the simple
passion of being.

Remembrance

Posted on by

After releasing all
of who I thought myself to be
my persona
my relationships
my job
my home
my lifestyle
my identity
my old existence

I sit here
free of all that was
in the stillness
in the quiet
in what I thought
was a void

Allowing
the remembrance of
All That I Am
to bubble forth
and create anew

It does not look
like I thought it would
for the mind
has never known
Who I AM

It does not feel
like I thought it would
for my emotions
were never the reality of
Who I AM

So what is my reality
what is this new life?

As soon as I attempt
to answer those questions
I am recreating
as I used to
think myself to be

Instead
I allow reality
to reveal itself
in each and every moment
with a new found freedom
without the need
to describe
without the need
to identify

For I know
Who I AM
at the core
of my existence
and that is
eternal freedom.

Gift of Experience

Posted on by

Every experience
is a gift

There are no levels
of experience
high or low
good or bad
unless we choose
to judge them

And then the experience
becomes a mental burden
rather than a beloved gift

Being free of judgment
we have the opportunity
to accept the gift
of every experience
as a treasure
to continually expand
our consciousness
and open more fully to life.
