Passion

Posted on by

Passion, oh passion
where have you gone
kidnapping my dreams
and desires

Leaving me
in the void
in this place
of nothingness

Alone and bored
with nothing
to stir
my appetite for life

Oh human,
beloved human
this passion
that you seek

It is the paltry passion
of the human
who is unable to see
beyond this reality

Your true yearning
is for the passion
and the dreams
of your Soul

You will not find them
in your mind
you can only find them
in the void

The void
where the mind is still
and the divine is
ever present

So rest in the void
while the mind unravels
releasing your passion
and dreams of the past

Rest in the void
in the exquisite
quietude
of your Soul

Until the moment
your soul stirs
with new
exhilarating passion

Passion that breeds
dreams and desires
that transcend
your human mind

Dreams and desires
that make your heart sing
with infinite new
orchestrations of the Divine.

Constraints of Time

Posted on by

The more present we become
the less real
the extraneous becomes
finally seen as the illusion
we dreamed up
for the momentary
experience of it

When we free ourselves
of the constraints of time
timelines collapse
memories and stories
effortlessly dissolve
and the wisdom of the soul
is distilled to carry forth

Unless, we are unwilling
to release them
allowing them to pull us back
into the matrix
of the illusion of time.

Healing Separation

Posted on by

Continuing to talk about
overcoming dark forces with light
good vs evil
black vs white
feminine vs masculine
spirituality vs religion

This is the prime fodder
that continues to feed polarity

Wake up Beloveds!!!
We can not heal duality
from within duality

Duality is an illusion
that has hypnotized us
into believing it

Take a deep breath
go within
sync into your heart
and discover the Truth
of your GodSelf
that knows no separation.

Distilling the Wisdom

Posted on by

Much like the caterpillar
you spent the beginning of your life
feeding upon and devouring information
forming a self created ego
until it was time to wrap yourself
in a cocoon of solitude
to distill the wisdom
and recognize your True Self
allowing your ego to dissolve
into the pure essence of God
to unfurl your radiant gossamer wings
and fly to higher realms of Love and Joy.

Secret of Life

Posted on by

The primordial
secret of life
is the joy of existence
once realized
everything else
becomes
superfluous.

Reality

Posted on by

The life we think is real
is nothing more than
a collection of stories
created by our mind

When we release the stories
what remains is our true reality
rooted in the essence
of our divine wisdom.

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.

The Illustrious Moon

Posted on by

The illustrious moon
who waxes
and wanes
month after month
year after year
decade after decade
over eons
beyond time

She who speaks to me
in many guises
showing herself
as a mere sliver of light
or the fullness of
an eclipsed blood moon
reflecting in the eyes
of the owl who sees
the wisdom
of all-that-is
in the midst of
the deep dark night

’Tis only now
I realize
she is simply reflecting
the wisdom
of Who I AM
the wisdom
distilled from
all my human experiences
the wisdom
that speaks from my heart.

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.

Gift of Experience

Posted on by

Every experience
is a gift

There are no levels
of experience
high or low
good or bad
unless we choose
to judge them

And then the experience
becomes a mental burden
rather than a beloved gift

Being free of judgment
we have the opportunity
to accept the gift
of every experience
as a treasure
to continually expand
our consciousness
and open more fully to life.
