Courage is the Soul’s passion
to be fully present
with the unknown
For it is in the unknown
that all potentials await
rather than continuing
to repeat that which
has already been lived.

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.

The human mind can play
the game of enlightenment
but it knows not of enlightenment
for it can only draw upon
the replays of the past.
But the purity of the soul
does not harbor
any shadows of the past
it is always experiencing life
fresh and new.
We can not study enlightenment
we can only experience it
for it is through the soul
we become enlightened
not through the mind.
Enlightenment is not a goal
it is a continual
expansion of consciousness
with infinite potentials
brought into the light.
When we surrender to the soul
we are naturally enlightened
living life fresh and new
in the light of eternal expansion
with effortless Ease and Grace.

Honor your Self
by spending time
free of all distractions
for a day, a week
or even a few hours.
Sense the invitation
from the wisdom of your Soul
to fully experience
the expanded consciousness
that awaits you.
Allow your consciousness
to follow your heart
breaking free of
the old illusions
to create anew.
Immerse yourself
in your Soul’s expression
writing, artwork, music,
time away in nature or
wherever your heart calls.
A commitment made
to spend sacred time
with your GodSelf
will yield gifts
beyond your imagination.

There was a time when…
I needed to know
I needed to understand
before I was willing
to take a step forward.
Now… my steps are taken,
from a place of Trust,
trust in the Divine,
which is beyond anything
my mind could conjure.
Thus… when I feel an urging
to take a step forward
I know ‘tis my Divine purpose,
and there is no need
to understand in advance.
For… every step
has already been laid out
with the intricate precision
of the ultimate intelligence
of the Divine.

Tears of joy flow
with the passion and realization
of living as I have always
intended for this lifetime
It matters not if it is understood by others
it matters not if it is judged by others
it matters not if others are unaware
of who I Am or what I Am doing
For I AM beyond the mind’s capacity
to explain or understand
and it is my Soul
that validates my way of being
It is my Soul that leads the way
enlivened with the joy and contentment
of experiencing life
while in this physical body.

Over many lifetimes
I have tasted
and
I have sampled
every experience
on the menu of life.
Until I’ve tasted it all
the good
the bad
and the tasteless
for how could I know life
unless I had sampled it all.
Sometimes
it was an entire life experience
sometimes
it was only a nibble
and sometimes
I savored every nuance.
No particular experience
was more successful
than another
simply different
in its texture
and its flavor.
Now that I’ve sampled
the entire menu of life as a human. . .
This is the lifetime
in which I get to choose
all my favorites
all the delicacies
and all the sweetness
that life has to offer.
Plus…. my personal chef
my GodSelf
is busy creating
a whole new menu
from all the wisdom
and new ingredients
discovered along the way.
Thus,
we have set a new table
with golden plates
and crystal chalices
under skies aglitter
with the stars from which
we traveled so long ago
to celebrate
the Joy and Beauty
of being HUman.

What if . . .
we remember the
love
joy
pleasure
and gifts
of every relationship
we have ever experienced
Rather than . . .
holding onto the
sorrow
regrets
bitterness
and pain
of separation
from our original intent?
THIS is how our Soul
views our life
reveling in the pleasure
of every experience
for the pure love of life.
Why not live as the Soul does
savoring the pleasure
of every relationship
every experience
and every nuance of life?
When we live as the Soul does
we realize there is nothing to heal
the earth doesn’t need our healing
humanity doesn’t need our healing
we don’t need healing
All that’s needed is
a change in our perspective
to see as the Soul sees
to experience as the Soul experiences
and to live as the Soul lives
for the pure Love of Life.

It does not matter
if you dream it
envisioned it
read it in a novel
or live it.
It all becomes
soul experience
when you allow yourself
to feel it deeply enough
to embody it.
The soul does not require
mental validation
nor judges
one experience
against another.
The soul distills
the essence
of each experience
into wisdom
as its reality.
Everything else
dissolves as illusion.
