You are eternal and unchanging
A universe in which manifestation occurs
You are also manifestation occurring
Temporary and forever changing
Finding a way of living these two truths
Is the ultimate dance of form and formless
The sky and the clouds may appear different
Yet are all one thing.
When strong emotions arise
Welcome them with open arms
When life deals you a bad hand
Don’t take it personally
If a storm approaches
Remember the sky
In which it comes
The tree without roots
Will collapse in the slightest breeze
Find what roots you
In the ground of your being
And no wind will fell you
There is a secret power
Found in the deepest relaxation
Nature already knows this
But we have forgotten
Remember this
When the storm comes.
When an individual cell
In the collective body
Becomes fully realized
To its own nature
As unified goodness
Something remarkable transforms
In the quantum field
And that goodness
Becomes entangled
With the innate goodness
In other individual cells
When a community of cells
in the collective body
Becomes fully realized
To its own nature
As unified goodness
A quantum evolutionary leap
May occur across the entire species
This is a remarkable moment
To explore your inner world
And discover your true nature
When the compassionate heart is discovered
When the knowing of the deepest love is revealed
It changes everything
And you will never want to leave there again
And all the forgetting and getting lost
And the returning home
Will become a dance
Instead of a burden.
Oh my love
So much division
Among us
How can we stand it
This endless fighting
Of the waves
While all the time
Our souls, or hearts
Longing for union
Oh my love
Let us put down our sticks
Lay down our weapons
Whether guns or words
Whether opinion or belief
And love each other anyway
Even in the wreckage
Even in the froth
Of these turbulent waves
I don’t know any answer
But love’s deepest acceptance
And even though I may err sometimes
Still I come back to this surrender
I am sorry
Please forgive me
I love you.
Discovering inner truth
Intuition and gut feeling
A deep instinct about things
And a wisdom that supports
That inner knowing
Is the only true authority we need
It is our connection to ourselves
To each other, to nature
And to God
Once discovered we must each find a way
To live from that deeply profound place
No matter what happens.
Sometimes I just get so sick of all this ridiculous bullshit
I try and remember it’s all a leela, a play, a game
And only consciousness is real
And ignorance is the only real enemy
(and not one to be fought with
but to be transcended with awareness)
But in truth I get weary
Walking this world
As it implodes
And eats itself with division
I discovered love to be the only worthy thing
Worth standing for
And I devoted my life, my service, my every breath to that
I have not transcended the world
I am not above it
I feel it in every fibre of my being
I feel it all, the suffering, the horror,
The blindness, the blame, the malevolence
The manipulation, the tyranny
My how it hurts sometimes
And all I can do is speak it,
Say its name, in the pain of love
I know I am not alone in this
And maybe you feel the same sometimes
There is no remedy
And I’m not looking for positive words
If we don’t speak the truth
We are doomed
This is my song of grieving.
If you truly believe
In your deepest instinct
In your heart of hearts
In your innate wisdom
That we are divine beings
Connected to all that is
With inner authority
And imbued with a magnificence
Beyond the self that is
Conditioned to smallness
And held captive by fear
Now is the time to live that knowing
Not sometime in the future
When it feels more comfortable
Or you feel more awake or aware
Or more confident and secure
But now
For there is dramatic change taking place
In every quadrant of the universe
And within each living cell
Of each living being
And within the fabric of reality itself
And you, and I, are being called
To embrace the transformation
And live from the truth we know
And the love we are
We are not not passengers
We are leaders and participants.
As though it matters
As though we matter
As though everything we do
And everything we say
And everything we are
Is some kind of prayer
‘May I be at one with nature
May I be at one with all that is,
Not above or below anything else,
Walking harmoniously in the world.’
We are hurtling towards collectivization
It is inevitable, written in the stars,
The Shift of the Ages
What kind of collectivization
Is what the inner and outer struggle
Is all about
Will it be about freedom and unity and love
Will each individuation serve the whole
Recognizing itself in the other
Creating a world guided by enlightenment
Or will it be collective tyranny
Driven by fear, division and mass control
Creating a world lost in separation and paranoia
While we may not be able to do anything much about the outside world
We can do so very much about the inside world
AND THAT BECOMES THE OUTSIDE WORLD
Start within…It is the only way.
