There are no prescribed steps
to attain Enlightenment
Enlightenment is
how you choose
to view life
in the here and now
in every moment.

Humanity incarnated
into physicality
separating
into a multitude
of diverse aspects
to better know our Self
by experiencing life
to the fullest
After eons of time
we got lost
in the separation
of our profusion
of aspects and personas
with a need to defend
who we thought
ourselves to be
This time of separation
is now drawing to a close
the consciousness of life
via our experiences
has expanded
all of our aspects
refined into radiant facets
unifying into our Oneness
We arise
from the ashes
purified
in our wholeness
enlightened
in our sovereignty
with the wisdom
of the phoenix
We soar
with spread wings
able to see
the expanded view
beyond separation
reveling in our sovereignty
as our radiant GodSelf
congruent with All-That-Is.

Our Soul is divinely
pure and pristine
it cannot be harmed
wounded, scared
nor put asunder
nor does it require healing.
There is no dark night
of the soul
there is only the dark night
of the human
when it feels abandoned
and separated from its soul.
Our Soul delights
in preserving the distilled wisdom
from all our experiences
and the remembrance
of our I Am Presence
patiently awaiting our awakening.
’Tis only our human mind
and relationships with others
that create stories of
separation, abandonment
pain and suffering
nary the Soul, nor the I AM.
Therefore,
when feeling abandoned
broken or consumed by illness
sync into
the purity of your Soul
the love of your Soul
the divinity of your Soul
and the presence of the I AM.
Herein you will experience
the innate ease and grace
of healing
via the dissolution
of the human stories and distortions
that have held your Soul at bay
and what a joyous reunion awaits.

All That I Am
continues to expand
it is not a destination
with an end to the journey
there are no goals
nothing to learn
nothing to attain
for consciousness is infinite
constantly expanding
with each and every experience
in the here and now
where All That I Am resides.

Joy expresses itself in a multitude of ways
for the one who is just coming out of trauma
it can be a flicker of light amidst the darkness
for the one birthing a child
it’s a joyous burst of unconditional love
for the one walking the forest
it’s an appreciation for the beauty of nature
for the one in relationship
it’s the pleasure of sharing with another
for the artist
it’s an infinite array of color
for the musician
it’s an intricate harmony
for the poet
it’s articulated with words
for the mystic
it’s the contentment of being
for the child
it’s the glee of life itself
Joy can be quiet and sublime
Joy can be explosive and exuberant
The ultimate Joy
is when we realize
joy is innate
always present
pulsing through our blood
as the stardust
from which we’ve incarnated.

That which is looking for credence in your life
is actually looking for release
for it is only in setting it all free
that we are able to come fully home
to the place of no-thing-ness
where there is no need for credence.

Eons ago
we all separated from the One
into multiple aspects
to fully experience
the infinite facets of life.
Now the circle is complete
the spiral has reversed
opening our hearts
to Love ourselves
returning into wholeness
by unconditionally embracing
all of our personal aspects
simultaneously inviting us
into our own Oneness
with All-That-Is
Standing sovereign
as our unique God-Self
who has metamorphosed
into more of who
we’ve ever known ourselves to be
though our experiences
here on earth in human form.
This is a gift of Grace
freely given to every human
with an open heart
and the commitment
to stand in our Sovereignty
as a Divine Human.

Existence without interpretation
allows all the woes of the world
to dissolve into the ethers
without any effort on my part
because these interpretations
conjured by the mind
are a false perception of reality
meant to keep me safe
but the only true safety
lies with my GodSelf
which has no need for
judgment or interpretations
for my GodSelf recognizes
everything as experience
distilled into divine wisdom
free of the mind’s stories
existence without interpretation.

Making a serious commitment
to your Self above all else
is crucial to your Embodied Enlightenment.
However,
being too serious about the process
will entangle you
in the quagmire of the mind
that creates its own chaos.
Once you put a little giggle
in your walk you’ll be surprised
how fun Enlightenment can be!!!

Courage is the Soul’s passion
to be fully present
with the unknown
For it is in the unknown
that all potentials await
rather than continuing
to repeat that which
has already been lived.
