The True Activist

The best way to be anti-anything
is to turn your attention away from it
and create what you DO want

While everyone else is bogged down
fighting about what they don’t want
you will have become a true activist

You will have already created
that which you do want
plus new potentials for others.

Live the Joy

We’re doing a lot of releasing
a lot of transformation
but don’t forget why!!

It’s all about opening to more JOY!!!!

Yes we need to release the old stuff
but we don’t need to re-live it.

It’s time to Live the JOY!!!!

Living as an Empath

As an Empath
I have finally come to realize
that all “energy is neutral”

It has only been
my judgement of energy
based on prior indoctrination
which was never mine
that interprets energy
as positive or negative

Once I am no longer
locked into the matrix of
collective consciousness
there is no judgement
fear subsides and
there is only Peace

I now realize as an Empath
I can allow energy to serve me
as a sacred gift of the divine.

Highest Order of Service

Putting your Self first
is NOT selfish
It is the “Highest Order of Service”
to humanity and the planet

How can you
be of assistance to others
when your own energy
is discordant?

By attending to your self first
you ensure the energy you radiate
from within you
is pure Love and Compassion

BEing the Master
of your own energy
is the Highest Order of Service
and thus the Highest Good for All.

Expanded Consciousness

 

The more my consciousness
expands with the desire
to know all of who I Am
the more sensitive I become

As ancient walls
of protection dissolve
I feel raw and exposed
vulnerable and unsafe

I feel hypersensitive
bombarded by so much
inconsequential energy
and excessive noise

My human self calls out
to shrink back behind
the walls of protection
that no longer exist

Meanwhile, my Soul is savoring
newly discovered delights
from my pallet of passion
which has felt void for far too long

Overwhelmed by it all
we have forgotten
that expanded consciousness
comes with it’s own innate gifts

Consciousness gifts us
with the ability to choose
to filter out the noise and distractions
of the discomforts and sensitivities

By simply choosing
my own point of consciousness
in every given moment
I Am free and secure

No longer living
in a world void of life
my consciousness offers
sensual delights

The old facades fade away
juicy centers are exposed
my passion runs deep
and my joy bubbles forth

’Tis the gift of expanded consciousness
that returns me to the fullness of life
exposes my juicy sensual passion
and the knowing of Who I Am.

Flow of Life

The flow of life is
simple and easy
gracious and welcoming
effortless and without angst

It doesn’t require
any efforting
or energy manipulation
only a conscious choice
and a true desire
to live in this flow
rather than our old
habitual patterns

It feels so obvious
when a former pattern
slips back in
because it feels
SO out of alignment
with who we
now know
ourselves to be

A simple refocusing
is all it takes
to return to the
wondrous adventure
of consciously
navigating life
as the embodiment
of the I AM
in this physical body

Oh the joy
of living in the
open ended “YES”
in answer to
the eternal offerings
of the Universe!

All is Well

I Am the creator
of my own reality

It is not up to me to create
anyone else’s reality

For how could I?
How can I know
what another’s
divine soul path is

How can I know
what experiences
they are calling in
for themselves

My attempts to
change their lives
only interferes with
their own soul path

It is not up to me
to interfere in what is not mine
rather to honor each person
and their own unique journey

By consciously
shining my innate light
via my love and compassion
I illuminate a new way of being

Thus everyone in the world
has the opportunity to vision
a more expanded reality
in the knowing that All Is Well.

Seduction of Distractions

The constant seduction
of worldly distractions
cluttering my mind
pulling my attention
diverting my energy
to that which is life depleting
rather than life giving

It takes a strong commitment
with discipline and practice
to command focus
long enough to stabilize
in the present moment
to remain centered
in my soul’s wisdom
to chose wisely

Continuous conscious choice
is required to employ
Self realization
Self trust
Self patience
often enough and long enough
to anchor into the true Presence
of Who I Am
where there are no distractions
only the eternal flow
of life giving Source.

Always Here

It is here
my joy and
my passion

It is always here

Even when
it feels like
the world
around me
has gone
asunder

Even when
it is buried
beneath
old memories
that threaten
to diminish it

Even when
others
attempt to
pull me
into their
personal dramas

It is always here

With one deep breath
one gentle exhalation
I sync into
the depth of me
where my
Joy and Passion
continue to
effortlessly
bubble forth
with the simple
recognition
of Who I AM.

Diligence

Everything you think
everything you read
everything you experience
has already been changed
by the mere act of
your thinking, reading
or experiencing it.

This is a simple fact
of quantum physics.

Enlightenment proliferates
via our diligence
in being fully Present
in the here and now
rather than carrying
anything from the past
which no longer exists
in this present moment.

Master Creators are
those who are always
in the present moment
creating anew.
