All My Possessions...

All my possessions for a moment of time.

The Ritual of...

The ritual of the "washing of the feet " 

is a beautiful one for me.

There is a point where we must relinquish the past 

and move into new territory  and stand on new ground.

Although Consciousness Can Perceive...

 

Although consciousness can perceive the agony and the ecstasy 

it blesses us by seeing the beauty and the potential beauty 

in all the worlds it lives in from man to beast. 

From flower to rock 

and up and away into the starry skies.

In Our Work...

In our work we are told that the lower does not see the higher 

and therefore calls it a miracle 

which it indeed must be to the lower world.

Conscious acts come from a place of unconditional love 

and are often misunderstood by lower worlds.  

As Mervyn would say:

 ‘ the body does not represent the soul, it misrepresents the soul'.

There is That In Me...

There is that in me—

I do not know what it is—

but I know it is in me.

Wrench'd and sweaty—

calm and cool then my body becomes,

I sleep—

I sleep long.

I do not know it—

it is without name—

it is a word unsaid,

It is not in any dictionary, utterance, symbol.

Something it swings on more than the earth I swing on,

To it the creation is the friend whose embracing awakes me.

Perhaps I might tell more. 

Outlines! I plead for my brothers and sisters.

Do you see O my brothers and sisters?

It is not chaos or death—

it is form, union, plan—

it is eternal life—

it is Happiness. 

~Walt Whitman

I'm Working On...

I'm Working on feeling Soul gratitude 

for all of the dark nights, 

the moments others reflect my rough edges.

As these create the cracks in my exterior, 

allowing the Light into my Soul. 

And this is how inner world evolution occurs.

To Keep the Hydrogen Up...

To keep the hydrogen up is certainly a wonderful aim 

and to have an open heart 

is a wonderful foundation for the work. 

I personally don't have the being 

to use every friction I have as a gem. 

I still have dark nights of the soul 

where I feel little or no connection with God! 

It is so wonderful that it is possible to transform all that.

The Work Allows Us...

Arthur Hughes

The Work allows us to begin to see so much more clearly ...

And so with an open heart, 

we also learn to suspend our judgement i's. 

In dealing with those in sleep 

I find that a non-judgmental listening ear is key, 

and a lightness of spirit. 

I always feel this from other students 

as a special balm, 

and I know that it allows me to open up more, to see more clearly.

From Deep Within Me...

From deep within me, 

and sometimes from behind me ... 

a light shines. 

This light of life, 

which shines upon things and people, 

and makes me aware that the

creature is nothing but an instrument of that light.

One Needs to Pay...

One needs to pay for something in order to know its value, 

which is an effort that tramp does not care to make.  

A tramp feature likes things to be easy; 

it is not willing to make a deep, sincere payment for one’s self.

In order to remain in the school, 

one must know what it is worth; this is called valuation.   

And one must know how to pay for the system one has received; 

this occurs through applying self-remembering and serving higher forces.

Having the Ability to Find...

Having the ability to find Presence and stillness 

has given me strength to not fight the friction. 

To observe the negative impressions 

others have formed through loveless words 

and choose to not allow false personality 

and negative emotions to encompass me.

Applying the scale of relativity has helped immensely. 

I am experiencing a shock 

and I know that from shocks (and this tiny speck in space and time)

 incredible growth is available to me.

When I Have Moments...

When I have moments where my heart is open 

and I'm in a state of Love, 

I feel so alive and realize how important it is to awaken the heart. 

In these moments 

I feel the gift of this life and I feel connected to God. 

My work is to stay longer in this state 

and to embrace friction. 

I see a little gift box in my minds eye, 

when these frictions arise. 

I'm thanking God in advance more now, 

and it is miraculous, 

so many gifts are here for us If gratitude is in my heart.

Even in the most difficult moments 

there is such a difference in the way 

I  am grounded in Presence and with an open heart ... 

Touching life with gentlest, kindness, compassion and gratitude. 

In these moments I feel so alive and really feel I am a servant of God.

Never Lose an Opportunity...

Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, 

for beauty is God's handwriting.
