Trail Blazing - a Prayer

This body, this flesh is not who I am. I know this now without a doubt. This mystery is far to grand, so immersive to be the shallow model that has been presented so conveniently through science and religion. What a humorous thing to observe. The descriptions of everything in words, theories, ideas which represent only one tiny part of even a moment in this grand experience called life. I am not afraid anymore. Now, as I become conscious of the various aspects of truth, of course not even a sliver, but something nonetheless, I can see, feel, sense and know the beauty and simplicity. All is based on love. And anything is possible. There is only One thing here, but its potential and expressions are infinite. As my awareness expands, simply, it seems, by my willingness and open-ness, I feel as though an aspect of myself has blazed a trail before me, establishing, preparing the adventures I have experienced.

How could my thoughts entertain the vastness of possibilities, the extent of the cosmos, but then be denied access even in this human form? The limitations have all been set down by a very limited view of life. And this is not the truth - unless I decide it is. I don't. My curiosity, my hunger to experience love and living in the full spectrum, the full cycle of being urges me to invite greater and greater possibilities. God, Source, One, Love - Thank You!

In some strange, mysterious, magical way I know you know what is going to happen next and yet it is not preordained. The experience is mine alone to create - in process. And as I do your essence, your love, your Being goes with me and captures and transmits the experience throughout. Please guide me, strengthen me to be consistent and responsible to Love as I know in the deepest part of my being that this is the most beneficial process for me. And yet I do not want to limit, constrain or choke the experience by my preconceived ideas, beliefs or prejudices. Empower me to contribute in the purest and most beneficial way.

Strengthen and support me to be courageous, bold and creative. To confront and resist conformity as it appears to be the thing stifling life the most in this "reality". Help me be the harbinger, the trailblazer, the demonstrator of the glory and opportunity that you have given all who exist in this form we call human-being. I yearn, intend to know universal, cosmic consciousness in this form, if that is what I am to be. I seek to show others the realization of our capacities and potentials in this form. And yet I detach from the process. I am loving the best I know how. I am being the best I know how. And I am grateful for the incredible capacities you have endowed to me. To see so clearly. To experience so fully. To look back and see with wonder this life. And then to go forward each day with wonder and gratitude. Oh my God! How do you do this? How did you make this? How can you hold all together in perfection? - And know all of it. When will I join you?

Please let me show others the way. I know we came here to be happy, to have fun, to love, to experience the vastness of the cacophony of sense experience. The pleasures. The intensities. To dream big dreams and make them. And to live through the whole process as complete expression of your love. Breathe life into me, Love. Breathe me. Breathe through me. Have me as a channel, a messenger, a light bearer - for the Grand enlightening, the conversion to the Truth experience of Love. With all of my Being, all of my power, all of my humility I say this prayer now. And I Thank You for granting and fulfilling this request in the exact manner that aligns with perfect Love. Thank You! So Be It! So It Is. All That Is!

My Shadow, My Power

June 12, 2010

Life has guided me
Without my knowing
Inexorably toward some destination
I cannot see where
But now I know, it does not matter
Because all that I have gone through
Is where I was supposed to go
What I believed has now revealed,
itself to be an illusion
I believed the stories I was told
Thinking too I entered a prison
One contained in the story
of suffering, war, starvation
The valley of the shadow of death
Is the reflection of my own thoughts
Those I needed to entertain
Possessed as a spirit in a ghost
The ghost of my thinking world
Disconnected from the Spirit of life
The ever present energy of life
Pulsating, expanding, omniscient
This is the Truth
But to really know life
I had to experience something else
This “other” created in my mind
A “reality” situated outside of Love
Somehow floating, entertaining my mind
With an eternal cacophony of chaos
Thoughts in a void
But this is not me
It all is me, I am one with the One
But One cannot experience One until
There is something other
So in this way I too
have been playing a game
Discovering the power
In my ability to create
Realities in thought apart
From Truth ever present
Of Love´s eternal grace
The Source of my Being is Love
Together immersed in the One
But to appreciate this ecstatic state
I had to have of none
The futility of a thought reality
Attached to a dream
This is the shadow of the valley
Or those dancing on the walls
But when I turned around I found
The truth of being ever one
This is my freedom I´ve been seeking
No place else but here and now.

Wake Up America!

Last night and today I just got a little fed up with all of my friends moaning, bickering, missing the point of the Gulf situation on Facebook.

I had posted a link about the media "black out", and a person who has been making the most noise gave a very elaborate explanation about why they have to "control the situation", blah, blah, blah. I dreamed last night that I have to begin to speak up with what I have learned.

Usually my voice when I write is very kind and aims to the highest energies/vibrations, but the voice on this one is more direct. It just typed out of me so I suspect it is not fully of my origin.

By no means is this directed to anyone here at Unity. I just felt is was a powerful summation, the most concise to date, about what I have experienced and learned from my powerful prayer request some two years ago. I believe this is the kind of thing that all Americans must face. How far we have let "our country" get out of our control. After I sent the message I contemplated that this is like throwing some folks a "life line". They are so far out of any clarity about what is really going on, but there just isn´t that much time left. Hmmm, I just got an idea pop in my head that the movie "Titanic" may be a metaphor for what we are dealing with.

Anyway, I just share this to share.

Posted as a comment to a discussion at Facebook

The American people are great (as are all salt of the earth peoples), if you think it is the American people who have been representing our country overseas you are not well informed at all. There actions have had devastating effects in ways that we cannot imagine. Our government has not been in "the peoples" hands since FDR was president. In order ... Ver más to change paradigms and get out of this model of government and corporations run amok, we have to wake up and see the Truth.

I did this in the last couple years. I prayed earnestly, really seriously for knowing what was going on in the world, why things were they way they are, and what was happening. What I discovered was shocking, maddening, and incredible, but it explained so many things that were previously not explained. After the initial shock and then coming to understand more of what and who we are did I begin to understand that it is not about getting all caught up in the drama and trauma, but to ACT and make the new world that we envision. We are not just blobs of protoplasm here on this paradise world. We are very, powerful beings who are using our energies for trivial and counterproductive purposes - essentially bringing on our own demise. Our potentials, if learned about and comprehended are almost limitless.

Our energies affect everything that we experience. How far from the vision of Jesus have we gotten? We are responsible. It is up to us to change, if that is what we desire. But nothing is going to change if we keep playing the same game. We have been coerced, cheated, stolen from by a small group of elite, that have wanted to create their "new world order" - just look at the one dollar bill. Believe it or not it is an instrument of magic. That is why it´s design has not changed (it is the foundational instrument) since it was implemented in 1928 by the Federal Reserve Bank, which is an illegal corporation, as is the IRS and Washington DC. None of these things were supposed to exist from the Constitution, but it too was designed by a bunch of rich white guys who thought the people were sheep. This model did not originate in the U.S. it comes out of a system that very likely goes back to Rome or Babylon, but has been brought to a real art in recent European history. There are credible academic studies that look into this if you will take the time to look.

The interesting thing when I heard Frank Zappa´s song "I Am The Slime" in 1974, and then I took Mr. Schnieder´s American Gov. class at Ames High, I started to realize. Mr. Schnieder had us read "Common Sense Two" which was a call for a revolution from corporations. If you don´t believe this is a serious issue you need to watch Eisenhower´s (a general) speech when he left office in 1958. It is on Youtube. Now these groups have had 40 years free reign. You actually think you have elected presidents and that our policies are affected by what we want?

There are also a series called Coincidences 911 at YouTube that will just blow your mind. Almost 3 million people have watched these so more of us are beginning to pull their heads out, but we have a long way to go.

The best analogy for our world situation is a drunk hitting his bottom. We are experiencing things that are supposed to bring us together in the Spirit of Love as Jesus was trying to prepare the garden, or we will perish. Those are the signs and experiences that are contained in these accelerating events - financial crisis, natural events. They are not going to diminish. Many of them are not accidents. The level of secrecy in our military, and the amount of money that has been spent (10s of trillions of $) with no oversight has gone way beyond what we could ever imagine.

These beings, it´s hard to call them humans, keep us feeling powerless, and fighting among ourselves, probably even pulling our energies out of us as we stay in states of desperartion, fear, anger, etc.

Our job is to recognize that these feelings are God guiding us away from the thinking and actions that creates this types of feelings. This is the "operating system" that was installed in us that we were never taught about. It´s a program, and it guides us by our feelings, and the resulting experiences are the repercussions. A simple analogy would be like a bell ringing - as we get further from the "correct" actions the bell gets louder. Anybody here the bell ringing?

When we feel happy and peaceful that means we are going in a direction that will serve us and creation. If we feel shitty, then we are headed in the wrong direction. Why we are so confused is because we´ve been watching all of the other people who don´t know this simple fact thinking that is how we learn to live - outside of ourselves. It doesn´t work that way. The programs works from within our own heart. This was, in essence, what Jesus and many other Spiritual teachers were trying to tell us.

It is time to pull our head out of the sand. And begin acting, believing and knowing that we can do this. We are the future of the world and we are making it NOW.
