Presence

It’s not your words
that communicate
for they are merely constructs
of the human mind

It is your “Presence”
that engages communication

Without being fully present
words are nothing more than
a game of the mind
with repetitive gibberish

Why waste time on gibberish?
when being fully present
opens hearts and minds
to the fullness and
interconnectedness of life.

Surface of Life

How often we allow
the demands of society
to rob us of the innate sensuality
that lies deep beneath
the superficial surface of life

Rather than being fully present
with the sweet scent of a rose
succulent juice of a peach
glitter of raindrops
vibrant colors of the sky
radiant warmth of the sun
touch of silk sliding across skin
or an intimate glance of love.

Living the Passion of Your Soul

Introducing Volume VI of Wisdom of the Inner Voice

Living the Passion of your Soul

Our deepest passion for this lifetime is Soul Embodiment. Your Soul has been patiently waiting for you to realize its existence and allow yourself to expand beyond the antiquated limitations of the human mind. Whereas the human is in constant survival mode in search of its life purpose, the passion of the Soul is simply to experience the fullness of life as the I AM.

Your Soul desires
to dive deeply
feel intensely
taste every nuance
experience your cherished treasures
plunge into joy
shiver with delight
giggle with glee
as the divine essence
of your true passion.

The Soul revels in our expansion and enlightenment. The Soul loves to play, sing, dance, express and create. These are the joyous etudes of the Song of the Soul as our natural and unique way of being. “Living the Passion of your Soul” invites you to embrace your Soul Passion to live the totality of your true Self by expressing the pure joy of life in your own unique way as the divine purpose of your existence.

Lingering in the Void

Allowing yourself
to linger
in your inner void
and emptiness
opens the door
for your soul-passion to enter
as a constant undercurrent
of quiet joy.

Soul’s Desire

The soul’s desire is to experience
just for the sake of experiencing

It has no need to validate itself
for it is already complete
in the knowing that it exists

The soul takes everything
the human experiences
distills it into its pure wisdom
drinks it all in and
falls more deeply in love with itself
again and again and again
with every new experience

The intrinsic passion of the Soul
is to experience the eternal fullness of life.

The Soul Steps In

How many roles
have you created for your self
living them out to abide by
what has been expected
of you by others?

How many times
have you lost your self
in the belief that
those roles are truly
who you are?

Until the overwhelm
of maintaining the roles
of who you are not
amidst the noise of the audience
becomes too much to bear

Feeling compelled to step off
the time worn stage
out of the costumed role
that was never yours
you step into the arms of silence

From within this silence
your sacred Soul steps in
pouring forth your true essence
with a joyous passion for life
inviting you to create anew.

Fully Alive

When we are
fully present
in this moment
we are fully alive
we are fully present
with our Soul

It is this Presence
that activates
the wisdom
the energy
and the passion
of the Soul

It is this Presence
that enlivens
all areas of our life

It is not the highs
craved by the human self
for they are fleeting
always followed by
another craving
for another high

Being fully Present
in this moment
is being fully
Alive!

Overcome by Tears

So many emotions surfacing
too numerous to count how often
I have been overcome by tears

Tears of Sadness
for all that’s been lost
those who have moved on
parts of me that no longer exist

Tears of Compassion
for the pain and suffering
humanity is moving through
during these epic transformations

Tears of Gratitude
for all the experiences accumulated
over a multitude of lifetimes
and how far I have come

Tears of Love
for all the aspects of my Self
that create the whole and sovereign Being
that I now know my Self to BE

Tears of Peace
always present
in the core of of my existence
untouched by what is happening around me

Tears of Joy
as the pure essence of Who I AM
and the ability to be fully present
here in this physical body

Tears of Celebration
with the Knowing that
WE have created a New Reality
for humanity and planet Earth

All these tears
All these precious tears

The elixirs and flow
of the infinite Source
through and as us
the eternal BEings of Life itself.

Expectations

Emotional turmoil
is the result of
our own expectations

Expectations of
those we love
family and friends
government leaders
religion and spirituality

Most importantly
the expectations
of our own self
for our own self

Whereas, our Soul
is always at peace
free of any expectations
experiencing life
as it presents itself
grateful for every moment
with an ever expanding
passion for life

There is no dark night
of the Soul

There is only
the dark night of the human
embroiled in its own expectations
before it awakens to the freedom
and true passion of the Soul.

Fresh and New

The purity of the Soul
does not harbor any
shadows of the past
always experiencing life
fresh and new

Your past self
your past dreams
never disappear
but are transformed
and integrated
into the new You

When we surrender to our Soul
we are reborn, fresh and new
living the passion of the Soul
in a joyous rendezvous
of eternal expansion

When we surrender to our Soul
we are naturally enlightened
our purpose rekindled
and elevated to the
most imaginable beauty.

When we surrender to our Soul
we are reborn, fresh and new
living the passion of the Soul
in a joyous rendezvous
of eternal expansion

When we surrender to our Soul
we are naturally enlightened
our purpose rekindled
and elevated to the
most imaginable beauty.
