There are no prescribed steps
to attain Enlightenment
Enlightenment is
how you choose
to view life
in the here and now
in every moment.

Our Soul is divinely
pure and pristine
it cannot be harmed
wounded, scared
nor put asunder
nor does it require healing.
There is no dark night
of the soul
there is only the dark night
of the human
when it feels abandoned
and separated from its soul.
Our Soul delights
in preserving the distilled wisdom
from all our experiences
and the remembrance
of our I Am Presence
patiently awaiting our awakening.
’Tis only our human mind
and relationships with others
that create stories of
separation, abandonment
pain and suffering
nary the Soul, nor the I AM.
Therefore,
when feeling abandoned
broken or consumed by illness
sync into
the purity of your Soul
the love of your Soul
the divinity of your Soul
and the presence of the I AM.
Herein you will experience
the innate ease and grace
of healing
via the dissolution
of the human stories and distortions
that have held your Soul at bay
and what a joyous reunion awaits.

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.

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.

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.

We go through our lives living blindly
parroting what others have taught us
until our innate Divinity flips the switch
To see with new eyes, hear with new ears
as a new reality effortlessly
replaces the old with ease and grace.
There’s no need to work so hard at Enlightenment
your willingness to remain fully Open is enough
the GodSelf within you will take care of the rest.

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.

The Labyrinth of Enlightenment
is a sacred soul journey
of awakening, self-discovery
healing, and transformation
weaving its way from the edges
of our carefully crafted human persona
toward the heart of our Inner Being.
Just when we think we’ve attained
the bliss and goal of nirvana
the chaos of transformation spins us
back out to the edge of the circle
for a more expanded view.
It takes courage and trust to begin
edging our way back to the center again
with our newly acquired wisdom
only to be spun out to the edges
for yet another expanded view.
This divine design is the Soul’s
loving way of guiding us
through our many layers of healing
weaving all our broken or forgotten parts
into full and compete embodiment.
Thus there is no error on our part
all these experiences are essential
to the awakening and embodiment
of the multidimensionality
of our Divinity.
Transformation is not comfortable
for the human aspect of ourselves
but when we surrender
all our fears to our Godself
the path can be one of ease and grace.
Once you reach the center
allow yourself to rest awhile
to savor the distilled wisdom
from all your experiences
before journeying back outward.
Trust that the labyrinth of enlightenment
will always lead you to the center
of your sacred Inner Being
with a more expanded consciousness
and the newly attained divine wisdom
to engage in the world
as the Embodiment of the Divine.

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.
