Gratitude for the Human Mind

I offer enormous gratitude
to my human mind
she, who has safely
brought me through the most
tumultuous times
that this planet
has ever experienced.

My beloved mind
I invite you into
the center of my heart
with love and gratitude
free of judgement
for your selfless service
through eons of time.

As we weave together
heart, mind, and soul
our wisdom expands
in ways we could
never have imagined
to co-create in new
and illustrious ways.

And so it is. . .
together, we become
the peace and grace
of All That Is.

Overcome by Tears

So many emotions surfacing
too numerous to count how often
I have been overcome by tears

Tears of Sadness
for all that’s been lost
those who have moved on
parts of me that no longer exist

Tears of Compassion
for the pain and suffering
humanity is moving through
during these epic transformations

Tears of Gratitude
for all the experiences accumulated
over a multitude of lifetimes
and how far I have come

Tears of Love
for all the aspects of my Self
that create the whole and sovereign Being
that I now know my Self to BE

Tears of Peace
always present
in the core of of my existence
untouched by what is happening around me

Tears of Joy
as the pure essence of Who I AM
and the ability to be fully present
here in this physical body

Tears of Celebration
with the Knowing that
WE have created a New Reality
for humanity and planet Earth

All these tears
All these precious tears

The elixirs and flow
of the infinite Source
through and as us
the eternal BEings of Life itself.

Expectations

Emotional turmoil
is the result of
our own expectations

Expectations of
those we love
family and friends
government leaders
religion and spirituality

Most importantly
the expectations
of our own self
for our own self

Whereas, our Soul
is always at peace
free of any expectations
experiencing life
as it presents itself
grateful for every moment
with an ever expanding
passion for life

There is no dark night
of the Soul

There is only
the dark night of the human
embroiled in its own expectations
before it awakens to the freedom
and true passion of the Soul.

Who You Are

You are not your body
you are not your mind
Your body and your mind
are the vehicles
to experience
the physicality of life
within the constructs
of this planet

It is via the integration
of your eternal Soul
and the distilled wisdom
from all your experiences
that expresses the totality
of Who You Are
as the Presence
of the I AM.

Soul to Soul

When we live
in resonance
with our heart
it is the wisdom
of our Soul
that directs
our life

When we speak
in reverence
from the heart
with esteem
for one another
we are speaking
Soul to Soul

When we act
from the purity
of our heart
we are acting from
our authenticity
as the Divinity
of our Soul.

Role of the Ego

The ego is simply
an aspect of our totality
in sacred service to us
while we have been unconscious
and forgotten Who We Are

For thousands of years
we have engaged the ego
to be the star of the show
orchestrating our lives
as caretaker to maintain our safety

Now that we
are Awakening
that show is
drawing to a close
and . . . .
the role of the ego
is stepping aside
into a supportive role
no longer center stage

When the tattered curtain drops
and the theatre lights go down
we temporarily feel anxious
unsure of what lies ahead

Until the new curtain arises
and we step onto the stage
of expanded consciousness
fully guided by our Soul

Our Sacred Soul
that has distilled all
the Wisdom from our
prior experiences

Our Sacred Soul
never embroiled
in our old stories
nor dramas of the past

Our Sacred Soul
now embodied
within our human
heart of hearts

Rejoice, beloved human
a new life awaits
and we are the players
true and conscious
of the totality of
Who We Are.

Dance with the Soul

Our physical body
is the vehicle
through which
the Soul
experiences life

For the Soul
every experience
is a sacred gift
free of judgment
free of bounds
for the simple joy of life

The human self
often sees itself
as unworthy
whereas the Soul
honors the human
as its sacred partner

Can you see your self
through the eyes
of the soul
whole and perfect
in every way?

Can you free your self
of the human bounds
to dance
with the Soul
in carefree abandon?

Clear Sailing

Have you noticed
when you are aligned
with your Divinity
there is nothing
to complain about?

Everything
is clear sailing!!

Sitting Companionably

The more often
I sit companionably
with my Inner Being
the more often
I realize the embodiment
of my GodSelf
as the integration of
my human
my soul
and my I AM

The more often
I sit companionably
as my GodSelf
the more conscious
I become of my
abundantly flowing
Wisdom and Well-BEing.

Unified Body of Consciousness

As the original
wound of separation
is rising to the surface
mass consciousness
continues to cycle
through its play-back
via extreme polarities

Attempting to mitigate
this rift in consciousness
amidst the flux of duality
only exacerbates it

But by seeking harmony
within ourselves
by allowing all our past experiences
to distill into wisdom
we find the true center within us
as our GodSelf
a unified body of consciousness
as the I AM, Soul, and human

Herein we find peace
with All-That-Is
and Love beyond
our human bounds

Love of self
with all its human foibles
Love and compassion
for all humanity
allows us to rise
sovereign and free
as conscious creators
of a new reality.
