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.

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.

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.

You can’t measure Joy
As soon as you attempt to do so
you dilute it
by measuring it
against someone
or something else.
Joy has many variations
it can be experienced
as a soft warm glow in your heart
a waltz through a field of fragrant wildflowers
or a passionate explosion of life.
But no matter the experience
Joy is Joy
whole and complete unto itself.
You will not find joy
outside of yourself
you will only find it within you
because. . .
Joy is who you are
as a sacred aspect of your Divinity.

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.

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.

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.

What if . . .
we remember the
love
joy
pleasure
and gifts
of every relationship
we have ever experienced
Rather than . . .
holding onto the
sorrow
regrets
bitterness
and pain
of separation
from our original intent?
THIS is how our Soul
views our life
reveling in the pleasure
of every experience
for the pure love of life.
Why not live as the Soul does
savoring the pleasure
of every relationship
every experience
and every nuance of life?
When we live as the Soul does
we realize there is nothing to heal
the earth doesn’t need our healing
humanity doesn’t need our healing
we don’t need healing
All that’s needed is
a change in our perspective
to see as the Soul sees
to experience as the Soul experiences
and to live as the Soul lives
for the pure Love of Life.
