Zero Point

Posted on by

Releasing all of
who we thought we were
leaves us floating
in a world of nothingness
bereft of what
we have left behind
not yet knowing
what lies ahead

Here we drift
in the zero point
between human
and Divine
between the mind
and the heart
between thought
and feelings
fearful of how
we will survive

Ever so slowly
acclimating to
a new way of being
trusting the soft
inner voice
that has gathered
all its wisdom
from lifetimes
of experience

And this Beloveds
is the place
to which we can
always return
when we feel
lost and asunder
for it is the place
of magic
of timelessness
of infinite potentials
the zero point
of All That Is.

Aspects of Self

Posted on by

man woman

homemaker career

activist pacifist
social recluse
religious atheist

These are all roles
we’ve taken on
faces we present
to the world
personas developed
into human aspects
by the ego
created identities
for self gratification

But they are not
Who We Are
for our GodSelf
does not need identities
to be acknowledged
to feel loved

Our Godself
is no thing
and every thing
whole and sovereign
unto it Self
living life as
All That Is.

Wondrous Experience

Posted on by

Transformation
doesn’t need to happen
traumatically or tragically
by unconsciously
thrusting us into it

It can be a wondrous
joy-filled experience
consciously trusting
our inner wisdom
to create anew.

Transcending Duality

Posted on by

Humanity has been living
within the concept of duality
for thousands of years.

Our human aspect asks. . .
How can you know light
without darkness?
How can you know love
without fear?
How can you know peace
without chaos?

But when we approach life
from the aspect of our Soul
duality becomes non existent
for the Soul does not judge
light nor dark
right nor wrong
better nor worse

The Soul sees all of life
as simply experience
for the pure joy of it

Living consciously
as the Soul
allows us to enjoy life
no longer fettered
with the pain and suffering
required by duality.

Instead we experience life
free and alive in the moment
with the ability to choose
from infinite potentials
with all the beauty and joy
life has to offer.

Labyrinth of Enlightenment

Posted on by

 

Introducing Volume III of “Wisdom of the Inner Voice”
Labyrinth of Enlightenment

“Labyrinth of Enlightenment” is a collection of poems reflecting our experiences as we awaken to our innate Divinity. This realization is usually initiated with the dissatisfaction of our outer world and a yearning for something beyond the empty busyness of our current daily lives.

The passage of enlightenment unfolds much like a labyrinth. It is a sacred soul journey weaving its way from our outwardly projected human persona toward the heart of our Inner Being. It is a path of awakening, self-discovery, healing, and transformation. By going inward, consciousness reveals itself to us with the realization that our Divinity has always been present awaiting our awareness.

This divine design is the Soul’s loving way of guiding us through our many layers of healing as we weave all our broken or forgotten parts into wholeness and complete embodiment to live our lives in grace.

Chapter Titles:
Awakening
Courage
Embodied Enlightenment
Expanding Consciousness
Multidimensionality
Gift of Silence
Soul Path
Bliss

May the words in these poems guide you to your own Inner Voice as you traverse your labyrinth of enlightenment. Trust that it will always lead you more deeply into the heart of your soul expanding your consciousness with newly realized wisdom to live your dreams and engage in the world as the Embodiment of the Divine.

New Realities

Posted on by

This is a time
of deprogramming.

Question everything
current beliefs
old teachings
established habits

All must dissolve
before new realities
can take form.

Consummating our GodSelf

Posted on by

The spiritual journey
is one of awakening
and consummating
the totality
of our GodSelf
as divinely human
sovereign beings
with the sacred gift of
experiencing the sensuality
of a physical world.

Realizing Our Divinity

Posted on by

 

Introducing  Volume II of “Wisdom of the Inner Voice”
Realizing our Divinity

We are so much more than we realize. As humans beings, we have been functioning within society’s pre-programed human mind in a highly complicated world. Our human self has become preoccupied with the trials and tribulations of daily life in order to survive. There is little time to be still and quiet to reflect upon who we truly are.

We have forgotten that we are God embodied in physical form, each in our own unique way of experiencing and expressing life. We have forgotten our spiritual greatness and the embodiment of our wisdom as the Divine within us.

Religion has gone to great lengths to separate us from God by giving “him” a separate persona outside of ourselves as a masculine god. A judgmental god that lives far off in the heavens with angels as his messengers and leaders of the church as his go-between. As a result of being referred to as children of God, we have forsaken our sovereignty. We judge ourselves so harshly we feel totally unworthy of Love or that we could possibly be the embodiment of God.

And yet, this is the truth of who we are and have always been. There is no mystery, there are no teachings required, and it takes no effort. It is quite simple. When we approach life as heart-centered, our Self-knowing presents itself. With every action, God is revealing Itself to us, as us. It is in each of these moments, by remembering the totality of Who We Are as Divine Humans, that we find the love and peace that surpasses our human understanding.

Chapter Titles
GodSelf
Healing Separation
Divine Human
Beyond the Human Mind
Heart Centered
Inner Being
All That I AM
Alignment
Self Knowing
Peace

I invite you to take a few moments each day to be still and quiet, allowing these words of poetry to illuminate the truth of who you are as a Divine Human and the realization of your GodSelf in physical form.

The Spiritual Journey

Posted on by

The spiritual journey
is one of awakening
to the totality
of Who We Are
as Divinely
sovereign beings.

A sovereign being
is no longer embroiled
in the collective consciousness

A sovereign being
is free of the matrix of duality
and the human mind

A sovereign being
is not victim to anything
outside themselves

A sovereign being
faces life’s challenges
with their own inner wisdom

A sovereign being
is continually expanding
one’s own consciousness

Bliss and nirvana
are not the goals
of spiritual awakening
these are human
perceptions
conceived by the mind

The spiritual journey
has no expectations
has no goals

As a sovereign being
the spiritual journey transforms into
a perpetually expanding
experience of life.
