Game of Enlightenment

Posted on by

The human mind can play
the game of enlightenment
but it knows not of enlightenment
for it can only draw upon
the replays of the past.

But the purity of the soul
does not harbor
any shadows of the past
it is always experiencing life
fresh and new.

We can not study enlightenment
we can only experience it
for it is through the soul
we become enlightened
not through the mind.

Enlightenment is not a goal
it is a continual
expansion of consciousness
with infinite potentials
brought into the light.

When we surrender to the soul
we are naturally enlightened
living life fresh and new
in the light of eternal expansion
with effortless Ease and Grace.

Being Fully Present

Posted on by

Memory loss
can be a two edged sword.

One edge cutting away
all that’s no longer desired
all that no longer resonates with
my new expanded consciousness

The other edge is cutting away
daily routines and mindless habits
along with lifetime friends and family
in support of the old memories

One we judge as advantageous
the other disruptive
and yet. . .
are they not both of value?

For both force us to be
fully present in the now moment
where antiquated
memory, habits, and beliefs
are no longer running our lives.

So next time my mind blanks out
forgetting what I was doing
I have to ask:
Was it even important?

If not, it will simply
disappear from my life
allowing space for
something new and more vital

And if it’s important
it will cycle back around
and be fully present with me
at the exact appropriate moment. 

Therefore I can be at peace
with the perfect flow of life
knowing this moment
is the only one that matters.

Beyond Intent

Posted on by

By setting an intention
the mind is immediately
drawn into action
scanning against all that has been
rather than drawing
upon infinite potentials.

Therefore. . .
Instead of setting an intent
and engaging the mind
I take a deep breath
and sink deeply
into my GodSelf
asking . . .

Show me
more of who I am
show me the magic
show me all
I have yet to discover

to BE
free of
the mind’s limitations
the old programs
and society’s constructs

to go beyond
that which
I have ever known
into the depth of myself
to excite my passion.

I do not know
what this looks like
for how could I
when it is beyond
the mind’s imagination.

However, I do know
what it feels like to create
via the purity of my GodSelf
it feels like Home.

Surrender to my Soul

Posted on by

When the human slows down
the Soul steps in
when the human goes quiet
the Soul shares its wisdom

When I surrender to my Soul
a magnet of passion
effortlessly attracts
all that I desire to me

Herein lies
my peace
my joy
and my well-being.

Alchemy of Love

Posted on by

By surrendering
to the alchemy of Love
fear is transformed into trust
doubt into wisdom
tears into grace
judgement into compassion
and chaos into harmony.

True to Who I Am

Posted on by

Who am I?

The one acting out
a persona projected upon me
by those around me.

The one playing the part
to maintain the status quo
to make others comfortable.

The one creating stories
to validate who I think
I should be.

The one fabricating excuses
when a simple “no thank you”
will do.

or . . .

Am I courageous enough
to step back from the drama
as the observer.

Am I courageous enough
to sit in the silence
no longer compelled to fill it.

Am I courageous enough
to surrender
all that others think I am.

Am I courageous enough
to simply be
true to Who I Am.

Sacred Dream of the Soul

Posted on by

Your soul has a sacred dream
carried in it’s bosom
for eons of time.

This sacred dream
has remained
unbeknownst to you
to safeguard it
until you were ready
and able to sustain it.

You have spent
most of your life
seeking this dream
looking hither and thither
feeling as though
a piece of you is missing.

You have latched onto
religion or spiritual teachings
codependent relationships
family responsibilities
unsatisfying careers
all to no avail.

It’s not until
you put it all aside
the illusive human dreams
that have been handed down
from one generation to the next
that you are finally empty.

It is this emptiness
this hollow place within
that allows the space
for your divine dream
to enter your heart
and reveal itself.

For it’s not until you
soften your heart
lay yourself open
and fully surrender
that you can embody your soul
that you embody the dream.

With the embodiment of your soul
your sacred dream will unfold
and reveal itself to you
beseeching you to join
hand in hand
with the exquisiteness of life.

The time is now. . .
to embody your soul
and allow your sacred dream to lead.

Gift of Surrender

Posted on by

With every expansion of consciousness
we awaken to a new experience of Love
which requires the surrendering
of what we thought to be true

Surrender can be as easy
as taking a breath
or
surrender can become
a battle ground for the ego

Whereas the ego thinks
surrender is loosing the battle
a giving up of what it thinks
is right and important

The evolved human knows
surrender is the divine grace
that dissolves all barriers
between us and our Divinity

Take a deep breath
and
Surrender to Love.

Moon Goddess

Posted on by

Goddess moon
pulling me into her dream realms
new creations
new birthing
new worlds
awaiting my awareness.

Pushing the pause button
putting life on hold
surrendering my full attention
to her wisdom
as she dreams
a new me into being.

Goddess moon
pulling me into her dream realms
with each and every
new moon
awakening me
to more of who I am.

Love is Who I Am

Posted on by

Beaming . . . Glowing. . . Loving. . .
This is what my heart is doing…. all the time

Although life’s circumstances may not always feel aglow
my Heart continues to Glow
beaming Love without any effort from me
I Glow because Love is Who I Am.

During those times when life feels asunder
I surrender to my heart
I trust that my heart will never lead me astray
I Love because Love is Who I Am.

Take a moment and breathe this in
Ahhhhhh yes. . . . there you are
fully aligned with your heart’s glow
fully aligned with your angelic family
fully aligned with the Love that You Are.
