New Pathways of Consciousness

Our ability to sit in the silence
our ability to align with our heart
our ability to expand our awareness
our ability to focus on the beauty and joy of life

These are our sacred Gifts that can only be accessed
once we have cleared the debris that clutters the mind

Our Inner Being always lies silent
awaiting our communion
to pave new pathways of Consciousness.

Illusion of Glamour

Freedom is seeing beyond
the illusion of glamour
beyond the superficiality
of things outside my self
by going within
becoming clear within my Self
fully aligning with my Soul

It matters not
what others may think
it matters not
what traditions are customary
it matters not
who I may have thought
myself to be up until now

For I am a Sovereign being
unique unto my Self
and it is time for
all of us to celebrate
our uniqueness
and create anew.

Tenacity of the Mind

 

It can be very challenging
for the tenacity
of our human mind

to withdraw from
its addictive need
for active pursuit

but once we withdraw
into the serenity
of our soul’s cocoon

we find the seeds of
illustrious new potentials
quietly awaiting.

Dropping the Veil

When you finally drop the veil
you become conscious of all the threads
that had been woven into its existence
judgment
disrespect
shame
blame
guilt
remorse
angst
struggle
suffering
fear
pain
sorrow
regret

Woe is the one
unable to see beyond these threads
allowing them to oppress their lives

Blessed is the one who goes within
allowing the grace of the heart
to effortlessly unravel and dissolve them

Blessed is is the one
who shines their light
so others may see more clearly.

Ancient Dream

An ancient dream
is emanating from within us
awakening humanity
from our hypnosis
of the illusion

An ancient dream
emanating from within
is singing us
into a new existence
inseparable from our Soul

Allow your inner world
to be at peace

Allow your inner world
to become silent

To hear the sacred songs
that foster our remembrance

Awakening us
awakening all of humanity
to a new way of being
in resonance and fluidity
with our Divinity.

Presence

It’s not your words
that communicate
for they are merely constructs
of the human mind

It is your “Presence”
that engages communication

Without being fully present
words are nothing more than
a game of the mind
with repetitive gibberish

Why waste time on gibberish?
when being fully present
opens hearts and minds
to the fullness and
interconnectedness of life.

Gratitude for the Soul

What if. . .
instead of asking
for healing
or prayers
from others
we realize
the true Power
to shift things
lies within us
rather than outside
of ourselves

What if. . .
we realize that
the anguish
we’re experiencing
is a “gift”
in service to us
to shift us into
more expanded consciousness
and ultimate well-being
as directed by our own
personal Soul path

When in the thick of
pain, anguish
or discomfort
I give thanks
for the shift
taking place
as the next step
in my Soul path
Herein lies
my peace
and well-being.

Bring Me Home

All my life I’ve been searching
wandering here and there
forever reaching out
looking for true love

What I’ve found has been illusive
here and then gone
oh where is the love
I so desperately need?

Then one day in my search
I saw myself in you
and my heart opened wide
revealing the truth

Love’s never been illusive
it’s been here all along
I’ve been searching way to hard
for what’s always been within

So bring me home
where I’m loved
home for evermore
home to live
deep within my heart

Now love abounds in my heart
and nurtures my true self
No limits, no conditions
pure freedom to express

All my dreams rest here
in the window to my soul
Awaiting to be embraced
and brought into the world

Wisdom lies in my heart
simple and profound
It’s all here within me
everything I need

With my heart at the helm
love just clears the way
And life opens to the max
and floods me with joy

In my heart I wanna live
every moment of the day
If I stray, bring me home
Home, back to my heart.

Lingering in the Void

Allowing yourself
to linger
in your inner void
and emptiness
opens the door
for your soul-passion to enter
as a constant undercurrent
of quiet joy.

Quietude

During this time
of sacred quietude
I’m incessantly drawn
more deeply within

Effortlessly traversing
one reality into the next
via wee silken sliding boards
through portals of time

’Tis experiences
of bright new worlds
offering colorful glimpses
of infinite potentials

Tossing my soul the reigns
for what lies ahead
I know not where
I know not when
simply trusting my heart to guide.
