Joy is my Touchstone

JOY is the internal touchstone of my life
not something I attain
Joy is Who I Am
just as Love is Who I Am
and Peace is Who I Am.

Joy is also the elixir of life
that rejuvenates my physical body
allowing me to continue thriving
rather than declining with age
as we have been so erroneously
indoctrinated by social patterning.

The body only wears out
when we work so hard
to manipulate and overcome
perceived adversity
rather than living with
the natural flow of life
as our authentic Self.

Therefore, JOY will always be my touchstone.

Mystical Embrace of the Moon

The full moon had her way with me
as she always does
seducing me into a sleepless night
while shrouding me in the mystic

I have long ago learned
to simply allow her wily ways
for she is ancient and wise
and has never steered me wrong

She beckons me high into the sky
expanding my consciousness
to see my world free of illusions
beyond the grasp of the mind

She lures me into her sacred embrace
during the darkest of the night
revealing the subtleties that cannot be seen
in the squinting glare of the sun

Together we expose the mysteries
divining all the answers
to the questions I first posed
when her back was to the sun

We listen to the hushed whispers
hearing the truth behind people’s words
in their times of broken heartedness
to soothe them with our love and compassion.

We lingered in the present moment
free of the past or future
beyond the concept of time and space
savoring All-That-Is

This morning the dawn shines brightly
with nary a moments sleep
and yet I am fully sated
by the mystical embrace of the moon.

I Create my Reality

As a universal being
I am free to create

beyond the human mind
beyond past experience
beyond time and space
beyond what’s ever been before
as the creator within my creation
from pure Divinity
with the heart of a human
wisdom of my soul
and the wonderment of a child.

Transcending our Thinking

There is no turning back
once we open ourselves
to living in the unknown

Sometimes my mind feels like
it’s courting chaos while attempting
to maintain the linear order of life

But my soul is soaring
because it’s always in the know
with moment to moment revelations

No wonder the mind feels threatened
with new potentials appearing
faster than the mind can keep up

It is in opening to all of life
the known and the unknown
that we transcend our human thinking.

Herein lies our Peace
our childlike wonderment
and our impetus to Thrive.

Pleasurable Desires

All of creation is in constant evolution
flowing with the harmonic dance of energy
to organically meet our basic needs
by our self sustaining Divinity

Energy flows with ease and grace
its only resistance caused by
our attempts to control or manipulate
energy, people, and things

As embodied Master Creators
we have the innate ability
to allow this energy to serve us
while spending our time fostering
our joyful and pleasurable desires.

Calling Forth the Soul

When you call forth your Soul
you have also called forth
the eternal Wisdom of the Divine.

The Soul will not be content
to allow you to tuck it away
because it does not fit the persona
you have created for yourself
or the world that surrounds you.

The Wisdom of the Soul
will unerringly filter into your life
smoothing your path with ease and grace
or it will create havoc with your persona
who is unwilling to let go.

Your Soul will disrupt you
’til you embrace it’s divine wisdom
or haunt you until your death.

Eternal Expansion

Ascension bears no crown of achievement
there is no goal, nothing to attain
ascension is an ongoing process

Every time I expand my consciousness
I realize more of my GodSelf
as a result God also expands

Thus, I Am experiencing
an eternal spiral of infinite expansion
and continual ascension.

I Am constantly expanding
I Am constantly ascending.

Guidance of the Heart

The more expanded
our consciousness becomes
the more sensitive we become
to our physical environment
to other people
to our emotional reactions
to everything!

Go deep within
where truth and peace abide
here you will find
feelings differ from emotions
feelings are our heart messengers
whereas emotions are
the mental interpretation of them.

So before you engage
with the external world
I ask you,
Do your feelings really need
an intellectual interpretation?
Or can you simply
follow the guidance of your heart
beyond intellect
beyond explanation
and beyond words.

Creating without Limitation

Are you willing to
go beyond all limitations
the limitations
of your own creation
as the character
from stories long gone
from a life that no longer exists

As a conscious creator
you are free of all limitations
allowing you to walk
out of the old stories
closing the chapters of the old book
to script new stories
in every new moment

The master creator knows
this moment is the only reality
with infinite energy available
to fulfill our every desire.

Creating your Own Reality

As a sovereign being
you create your own realty

Although your reality
is evolving in every moment
you may not recognize it
because you thought
it should appear the same for everyone

Whereas,
mass consciousness requires conformity
via our sovereign consciousness
we create our own unique reality
to enjoy our own heart’s desires
in our own space and time

Dream your new reality into being
with the wonderment of a child
finding new venues of joyous expression
with wild abandonment
free of any constraints

As you do so,
you will eventually sense
other synchronous creations
with the harmonic overlap of other’s visions
with a new found ease and grace

No longer bound to one another
rather dancing with one another
each unique unto one’s Self
while in harmony with the music
of the universe and each other.
