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.

Open to the Unknown

Posted on by

Are you only seeing
what you have always seen
without questioning it?

Are you only seeing
what is being projected at you
by the media?

Are you only seeing
what other people
are talking about?

Or . . .

Are your eyes wide open
to see what others
are afraid to see?

Is your heart wide open
to consciously place your attention
on that which pleases you?

Is your mind wide open
to explore the unknown
without restraint?

Are you open
to see, feel, and enjoy
what’s been previously unknown?

Ennobling our Humanness

Posted on by

With every experience
of expanded consciousness
there is a releasing
of what our mind
thought was real.

Our mind was never wrong
it has simply been functioning
per the programing
that’s been taught
over eons of time.

The mind is now
in the throes of transitioning
beyond the old constricted beliefs
that have brought us to this point
in our evolution.

What we are experiencing now
is an ennobling
and an exultation
of both the mind
and our physical body.

Indeed we often feel threatened
when the mind has gone fuzzy
free of its old way of thinking
not yet comfortable
with the new.

Compassion is the great healer
compassion for the mind
compassion for the body
and an honoring of our courage
to take such a bold step.

Remember Beloveds
you have done nothing wrong
you are simply experiencing
the ennobling and exultation
of your humanness
with expanded consciousness.

Celebrate Being Human

Posted on by

 

Over many lifetimes
I have tasted
and
I have sampled
every experience
on the menu of life.

Until I’ve tasted it all
the good
the bad
and the tasteless
for how could I know life
unless I had sampled it all.

Sometimes
it was an entire life experience
sometimes
it was only a nibble
and sometimes
I savored every nuance.

No particular experience
was more successful
than another
simply different
in its texture
and its flavor.

Now that I’ve sampled
the entire menu of life as a human. . .

This is the lifetime
in which I get to choose
all my favorites
all the delicacies
and all the sweetness
that life has to offer.

Plus…. my personal chef
my GodSelf
is busy creating
a whole new menu
from all the wisdom
and new ingredients
discovered along the way.

Thus,
we have set a new table
with golden plates
and crystal chalices
under skies aglitter
with the stars from which
we traveled so long ago
to celebrate
the Joy and Beauty
of being HUman.

The Soul’s Reality

Posted on by

It does not matter
if you dream it
envisioned it
read it in a novel
or live it.

It all becomes
soul experience
when you allow yourself
to feel it deeply enough
to embody it.

The soul does not require
mental validation
nor judges
one experience
against another.

The soul distills
the essence
of each experience
into wisdom
as its reality.

Everything else
dissolves as illusion.

Spiritual Suffering

Posted on by

Enlightenment is a natural process
experienced via our daily lives
simply by the way we respond to life.
Enlightenment does not require us
to suffer, nor to work at it.

Suffering will continue being
the path to enlightenment
as long as we keep adding notches
to our spiritual suffering belt
as evidence that we are evolving.

Once we take a deep breath
go deep within
and consult our Soul
it will tell you,
Dear dear human
there are easier paths
YOU get to choose,
suffering or ease and grace.

Self Realized Sovereignty

Posted on by

Welcome to your Sovereignty
the hard work of
processing and clearing
to collect all your human aspects
is finally complete.

Time to lay back and relax
acclimate to the new altitudes
nap in the sun, enjoy the views
sip the nectar of the Goddess
and allow everything to flow
with divine timing.

Wisdom of the Soul

Posted on by

Before I lay my head upon my pillow
and nestle under my warm duvet
before I enter dreamtime
I ask to be shown
that which I have been afraid to see

Through the eyes of my soul
and the purity of my heart
my consciousness expands
viewing the bigger picture
now in full technicolor

Oh the truth that’s revealed
as the characters stride forth
in the multitude of stories
that have been spun
realizing each had a role to play

With a deep sigh of release
all the stories and emotions
are instantly distilled
into the wisdom of the soul
and integrated for eternity

And so it is. . .
when we are ready
when we ask and surrender
allowing the soul free reign
our consciousness expands
and our wisdom is revealed
all with the ease and grace
of our Divinity.

Resting in the Flow of Change

Posted on by

The days of needing
to know it all
or needing to be right
are long gone.

Life is in constant flux
therefore if what I know today
does not change tomorrow
there is no growth or expansion.

I rest in the flow of change
allowing what I knew yesterday
to fade away without judging it
as right or wrong.

And I welcome
that which was unknown yesterday
to be my new playground
each and every day anew.
