You Know...

You know, 

an angel cannot hear a Mozart? 

Or a baby crying? 

It can’t see a Botticelli, 

or a Leonardo. 

It can’t touch different materials. 

It can’t taste foods, 

because it has no senses. 

We. 

We are the inheritors of the universe. 

We are the ones 

who are given the equipment 

to be able to view the creation. 

And we haven’t engaged our souls, yet. 

So, I put it to you that times have changed. 

In Christian terms, 

the Old Testament was the Father; 

the New Testament is the Son; 

and now there is something else. 

There is the Holy Ghost. 

That was the third part. 

And I put it to you 

that not too long ago, 

that, entered this world. 

And it is no longer up to man 

and his stupid brain to figure out things. 

I mean, in regard to the soul.

I said to you 

that love is a Gift 

that is given to you by the Gods.

As We Enter...

 

Alex Strub

As we enter that wordless state, 

the higher can infuse us with its grace. 

Then and only then, 

when fully in this state, 

may I have the possibility 

of in my turn to "delight and enlighten others." 

Because I can only impart 

that which I can embody. 

And that's the reminder for me. 

To stay longer bit by bit, 

to learn to live in this rarified air, 

so that I can have the possibility 

of finally really sharing 

the "fruitful joys of the Mystic life." 

A daunting wish, 

and yet, 

so much higher 

than to only wish these joys for myself.

It’s So Easy...

Son Eung-sŏng

It’s so easy for me 

to think about the work, 

even while I am in the meeting 

and fall out of Presence, 

more the i’s of the work. 

And this for me 

is what has to be abandoned in a way. 

Even while I was having this understanding 

and reminder during the meeting 

I was observing how my machine 

was holding onto the i. 

And I was struggling with being present 

and not getting identified 

with the understanding.

When Love...

Aaron Spong

"When love becomes vast, 

love becomes wordless".

I Remember...

 

 I remember many times with Mervyn. 

When I would see him in the mornings especially, 

there would be a beautiful shock, 

a gentle land, silent, 

uplifting into the world of presence. 

I suppose it was that much more noticeable 

when I was coming from the land of sleep. 

Sometimes I see his eyes 

and remember those moments, 

when I am stuck in a lower world. 

Also after M passed 

and we were holding together collectively - 

it verified so much to me 

that there is a continuing world of Love - 

it is possible 

to be in it in this realm.

When I Walk...

Liz Dettrey

When I walk my dog, 

I try to take time 

to have a meditation in nature. 

My dog takes more the pace of the soul. 

He is a good teacher, 

going against what it wants, 

which is to hurry along 

and indulge my overwhelming moving center. 

It’s sometimes a struggle for me, 

but always worth it.

Healing...

 

Erica Pang

Healing, 

as we know is part of the 6 processes: 

6 processes: Growth> Digestion> 

Elimination> Crime> Healing> Regeneration.

The first 5 processes 

occur naturally or organically in all living things. 

The last, Regeneration, 

is reserved as a higher order. 

The state of healing 

follows the state of crime or corruption. 

This process is one that allows the spirit 

to inhabit matter and is to quote 

RC a state of "rediscovery".

The tissues where there was once debris 

or decay or poisons through healing 

rearrange themselves in the right place 

and form renewed state of the tissue with the help, 

god willing, 

the circulation of life blood 

from what was once dust comes alive again. 

Poisons which were once created 

in the last stage of crime must be eliminated.

Healing is the antidote to the process of disease. 

It produces a new normal 

that allows a clearing place 

for the next process Regeneration. 

Healing keeps crime in check. 

The sick do sometimes remove, 

the epidemics abate, 

and wars end.

Moonlight Floods The Whole Sky ...

 

Moonlight floods the whole sky 
from horizon to horizon;
How much it can fill your room 
depends on its windows.

You are so weak. Give up to grace.
The ocean takes care of each wave 
till it gets to shore.

You need more help than you know.
Don't try to steer the boat. 
Don't open shop for yourself. 
Listen. Keep silent. 

You are not God's mouthpiece. 
Try to be an ear, 
And if you do speak, ask for explanations.

You have forgotten the One
who doesn't care about ownership,
who doesn't try to turn a profit
from every human exchange.

What matters 
is how quickly you do what your soul directs.

Drum sound rises on the air,
its throb, my heart. 
A voice inside the beat says, 
"I know you're tired, 
but come. This is the way."
~ Rumi

Just Now...

 

Just now I feel so uplifted 

and I’m just realizing 

how something that happened last Christmas in Mexico 

is becoming clearer and was just regenerated 

on another level in many things 

that have happened recently. 

Nonetheless, 

I’m pretty sure the machine 

doesn’t even have a clue. 

The energy is just so different and beautiful. 

This is one more verification 

that many things can only happen in the silence, 

in the quietness of the night, 

in the mystery of God.

Perhaps Water...

 

Perhaps water when it is frozen 

is similar to hydrogen 48 or 96. 

Then when it becomes in a liquid state 

and can mold itself to whatever container it’s in, 

similar to H24. 

And then when it transforms itself into steam, 

in a molecular state and can travel great distances 

and merge with all it comes into contact with, 

similar to H12. 

So we can meditate and pray 

and become like steam.

Last Night ...

 

John William Waterhouse

 Last night I sat on our deck, 

overlooking a pink and red sky, 

with crows and hummingbirds soaring in the trees, 

palms swaying in a gentle wind. 

This week was one of utter chaos in the outer world. 

Not only on a global scale, 

but on a personal one as well. 

And yet, 

my soul is like Miranda on the shores of the tempest. 

And last night as I breathed in the beauty, 

with the moon rising with a misty halo around it, 

I felt the immense silent beauty of God. 

The gifts of the Divine all around, 

in both the vastness and the tiniest details.

It Is Circumstances ...

 

Thomas Hart Benton

"It is circumstances 

which show men what they are. 

Therefore when difficulty falls upon you, 

remember that God, 

like the trainer of wrestlers, 

has matched you with a strong young man. 

For what purpose? you may say. 

Why, that you may become an Olympic conqueror: 

but it is not accomplished without sweat."

~Epictetus

It Is Important To Recognize...

 

John William Waterhouse

It is important to recognize 

that when our soul verifies something, 

it is actually remembering 

what it already knew. 

It is a truth 

that goes beyond any temporal phenomenon. 

It is our work 

to value and recognize this truth 

over the usual I’s of the lower centers.

It Is A Wonderful Reminder...

 

Vrindavan Das

 It is a wonderful reminder 

of the road to transformation

 I have come to believe is path. 

Unity is the destination. 

I yearn to not squander the opportunity, yet so is my work.

We come from great ones showing us the way. 

Unity is the basis of the 3 Abrahamic faiths, 

yet I never got that understanding. 

The work points out what I have been missing. 

The purpose of our being here. 

Unity e.g. transformation.

It Is Good...

Art Is...

 

Pierre Bonnard

Art is such an incredible medium 

for transforming emotion and experience. 

Making beauty and pain digestible. 

Rodney speaks about Art 

as a sign of regeneration. 

I have verified it. 

When we can actually channel the Gods 

and *create* through our healing, 

something new enters. 

The spell of sleeping recurrence can be broken, 

by the kiss of the beauty.

There Seems To Be...

 

There seems to be 

an abundance of denying force now. 

I’ve observed the pressure 

coming from both Caesar’s world and God’s world, 

as if I’m being done unto. 

The pressure is enormous. 

Yet, as I was reminded the other day, 

self-remembering is self-preservation, 

and it is in moments of great denying force 

that we are able to verify this 

in our work over and over again. 

We must make efforts to be here 

and to keep finding ways 

to keep the hydrogens up.

We All Have Our Sufferings...

 

Dante Gabriel Rossetti

We all have our sufferings, our pain. 

It holds enormous energy & power. 

Some carry it like a banner for all to see. 

Some rage it against the world in a path of destruction. 

Others hide it deep within, 

though it comes through the cracks, 

hoping for light and redemption. 

It's our Work to transform it, 

to use the energy of the pain 

and transmute it to the soul, 

to change & elevate it to great beauty within 

& then manifest it to the world, 

to the outer regions of the universe.

True Personality...

 

True personality is from essence. 

It is a pre-requisite to awakening. 

It must be understood though, 

that the personality that we talk of 

is individual to each person or machine. 

When we develop in the work, 

we can see that morals are relative. 

Many of the current world religions 

lay down guidelines to behave a certain way 

and guarantee that if one follows a certain set of

“commandments” one will surely go to heaven. 

We know in the Academy 

that you can tell chauvinistic jokes, 

belch in public and become annoyed 

but still remain present. 

Awakening is not a moral issue, 

and true personality 

is therefore an individual process. 

What is right for one is not right for another. 

What this means is 

that we look at ourselves 

through constant self-observation 

to spot false personality 

and eradicate the rough edges through work over time. 

Once we are more in essence, 

true personality can begin to emerge. 

My advice is 

that the heart will begin to teach 

through the mechanics 

and thus the machine is now in its rightful place, 

which is as an instrument of the Soul. 

So in order to become more in true personality 

we must listen to our hearts.

~O
