Feelings

Posted on by

I have come to learn
I don’t have to feel
what someone else
wants me to feel

That doesn’t serve me
and it doesn’t serve them

Their feelings
are theirs alone
irrelevant
to my feelings

When I honor their feelings
and I am true
to my own feelings
I am free to react
in a way that can serve
all concerned.

You get to Choose

Posted on by

Being fully present
in this moment
is the super highway
of infinite potentials
always flowing to
and through you

You get to choose
what tickles your fancy
in this moment
without the need
to latch onto it
or create from it

You get to choose
to enjoy this moment
allowing
the next moment
to reveal itself
free of any attachment

You get to choose
to be the infinite
creator of things
yet unseen
things beyond
your imagination

You have the freedom
to choose.

Removing the Mask

Posted on by

You can drape it with silk
and encrust it with jewels
but sooner or later
you realize
your mask
has served it’s purpose
and it’s time
to lovingly remove it
and set it aside
to experience and embrace
the Beloved Self
who you have always been
and have yet to become.

Freedom

Posted on by

I awoke this morning
filled with glee
all-that-is
has enveloped me
with places to go
beings to see
no holding me back
I’ve got to be free.

Now That I am Empty

Posted on by

Now that I am empty
of that which is not mine
having released all
ancestral ties
society’s rules
religious dogma
mental programing
the need to judge

Now that I am empty
how do I choose to be filled?

Do I choose to be filled?

Or do I choose
to allow All-That-Is
to continually
flow through me
enjoying each
and every moment
anew?

My Own Reality

Posted on by

My current point of consciousness
where I place my attention
is my only reality
everything else is
null and void
in this moment

There is no need
to resurrect the past
to engage
in past suffering
to face old dragons
rewrite the old stories

By being steadfast
in my present
point of consciousness
everything else
effortlessly
fades away

Indeed we see life
through our own filters
but even they dissolve
when we release
judgment of the past
and fear of the future

Indeed we interact
with group consciousness
but it is our own
point of consciousness
that creates
within the group

Therefore, carefully choose
your point of consciousness
be steadfast
in attending to it
and allow everything else
to effortlessly dissolve

THIS is how we create
our own reality.

Remembrance

Posted on by

After releasing all
of who I thought myself to be
my persona
my relationships
my job
my home
my lifestyle
my identity
my old existence

I sit here
free of all that was
in the stillness
in the quiet
in what I thought
was a void

Allowing
the remembrance of
All That I Am
to bubble forth
and create anew

It does not look
like I thought it would
for the mind
has never known
Who I AM

It does not feel
like I thought it would
for my emotions
were never the reality of
Who I AM

So what is my reality
what is this new life?

As soon as I attempt
to answer those questions
I am recreating
as I used to
think myself to be

Instead
I allow reality
to reveal itself
in each and every moment
with a new found freedom
without the need
to describe
without the need
to identify

For I know
Who I AM
at the core
of my existence
and that is
eternal freedom.

Credence

Posted on by

That which is looking for credence in your life
is actually looking for release
for it is only in setting it all free
that we are able to come fully home
to the place of no-thing-ness
where there is no need for credence.

I Am a Sovereign Being

Posted on by

I Am a Sovereign Being.

As a sovereign being
I realize all my needs are met
by the clarity of my consciousness
from the purity of my GodSelf.

I Am no longer hungry
no longer hungry for
love from outside myself
attention from others
nor acknowledgment of success.

I no longer feel the need
to rescue others
to attempt to heal others
to evangelize
or to save the planet.

I recognize that every human
is a Sovereign being.

By honoring
each one’s unique soul path
and empowering their Sovereignty
I grant everyone their freedom
by no longer enabling victimhood.

For my GodSelf sees no victims
nor need for healing or saving
for our Sovereignty calls forth
infinite harmony amidst life’s changes
and all flows with Divine Well-being.

Free of Identity

Posted on by

 

You have chosen 
your human roles
playing them out
on this illustrious stage of life.

Sometimes you are. . .
parent
husband or wife
teacher
student
employee
political activist
caretaker
artisan
musician
writer
spiritual seeker
or a multitude of many other roles.

It’s important to remember
they are simply roles being played out
until you tire of them
and choose a different role.

It’s not until you
drop all the roleplaying
and be without
the need for an identity
that energy can be in service to you.

Otherwise energy
is being manipulated
by your identity
and the role
you have chosen to play.

It is the non-person
who is without
the need for an identity
that is free to allow all energy
to be in service to you.

And then, voila!
You are FREE
all energy is in service to you
which in turn allows you
to be FREELY in service to others
without any role playing.
