Embodying the Truth

I don’t recognize who I was
last year at this time
having released so much of
who I thought I was
while embodying
the truth of who I AM

Everything is different
body, mind, emotions… life
even my Soul has expanded!

Loving Gratitude to my self
for trusting the organic changes
that allow the fullness
of my Divinity
to reside within
this physical body

In the beginning
some of these changes
were difficult and challenging
but that too shifted
once I made the choice
to flow with ease and grace

Who I AM today
is not who I will be tomorrow
for I know this is an eternal
process of expansion
for which I am grateful
because Love and Joy
have no bounds.

Restoration

So many lives
we have lived
within this lifetime

So many faces
we have presented
to the world

So many personas
we have acted out
in search of ourselves

Finally stepping away
from the emptiness
of all that was

Allowing it all
to effortlessly
crumble around us

Until all that remains
is the foundation
and the restoration
of our God Self.

Beyond the Veil

Feel into all the energies
that surround you
if you are sensing veils
they are your own
veils of separation
handed down to you
through the ages
and can easily
be dissolved
if you so choose.

Once we go beyond duality
veils cease to exist
because we are no longer
living in separation

The unseen
becomes seen
the unknown
becomes known
we commune
with disincarnate souls
as easily as
we commune
with incarnate souls
for we are aware of
living with All That Is.

Reclamation

Walking away from
who we thought
ourselves to be
the expired roles
we played
with friends
with family
with coworkers

Allows us to shed
our timeworn clothing
remove our masks
to see ourselves
more clearly
and reclaim
the gifts of
our Divinity

To be in service
to ourselves
to humanity
to the universe
in a whole new way
as our GodSelf
in physical form.

Lost in Thought

Lost in thought
about things to do
what’s been done
what could have been done

These are a tiring
waste of energy
diminishing peacefulness
and clouding our clarity

Every time you become
lost in thought
it means exactly that
you are lost!

To find your Self
allow your mind
to become quiet
utterly tranquil

In the quiet depths
of every being
there is a stillness
a deep inner peace
a voice of inner wisdom
guiding your life
in every precious moment.

Resting in the Void

Rest in the Void
in the space-in-between
betwixt transitions
between what was
and what is yet to come

The “old” has no place
to land anymore
it will dissolve
of its own accord
unless you continue
giving it your attention

Rest assured
be at peace
your Soul awaits
divine timing
until you are
ready and prepared
to take the next step
forward into the new.

Zero Point

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

man woman
parent child
husband wife
student teacher
homemaker career
young old
good bad
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.

Impermanence of Physicality

Once we realize and accept
the impermanence of physicality
we can relax into the natural flow of life

Pain and suffering ceases
once we are no longer grasping
onto circumstances people or things

Letting go does not mean
we do not care
it means we care enough
to allow the transformation
and natural flow of life.

Transcending Duality

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.
