These Octaves...

 

These octaves 

sound through our lives 

and our association with the Work. 

And what is important 

is to make ourselves sensitive 

to the note which is sounding at the moment 

and respond to it. 

Much suffering in human life 

results from a fruitless attempt 

to retain a note that has already ceased to sound, 

or to anticipate a note 

that has not yet sounded.

in the highest heaven, 

and on earth peace 

to those on whom his favor rests.”

I Wanted To Share ...

I wanted to share 

about my verifications on essence 

from my trip to Vermont with D. 

We both noticed the ease 

with which we entered our own essence state 

in the small town in Vermont where we stayed. 

I felt myself attune to nature and the people. 

Even my breathing slowed, 

as if I entered world 24 upon arrival. 

Smiling shop owners, 

farmers, children playing - 

everything seemed so much more peaceful and simple. 

I recognized that my machine 

in her essence is connected to nature, 

to beauty, to simplicity and the joy of being alive. 

There is so much around us in nature 

that allows for the opening 

of this finer hydrogen state, 

and from there it is so much easier 

to soar towards 

the realm of the soul.

Music Is A Higher Revelation ...

 

A Page from Ludwig Von Beethoven's 9th Symphony

Music is a higher revelation 

than all wisdom and philosophy. 

Music is the electrical soil 

in which the spirit lives, 

thinks and invents.

~Ludwig Von Beethoven

My Machine, My Play...

My machine, my play, 

my circumstances, 

my life in general, 

what does it mean? 

What does it represent? 

Last week I felt a grace arrive and merge 

as part of my being 

and I could move more freely, 

feel actually free and in a sense so much more joyful! 

I was realizing the ‘I’ 

was somehow at the center of my own true being 

and it was radiating out.

When I saw this image of the Angel 

on a magnet at the store 

(she was in the middle 

of a bunch of other magnet images) 

and my soul was quietly so joyful 

and said "YES" that is it! -  

the divine essence of each of us 

so pure and bright. 

It is like a type of "Alignment" 

where one feels truly comfortable, 

vulnerable but safe, 

also trusting in former verifications, 

like standing on a rock 

that is sturdy and balanced. 

My essence is recognized through struggle, 

my essence is revealed through many failures. 

My essence is the home 

for my soul and my heart.

Do Not Abandon...

 

Kenneth Tesoriere

“Do not abandon 

yourselves to despair. 

We are the Easter people 

and hallelujah is our song.”

We Were Talking...

 

VIctoria Voner

We were talking about the machine 

and how it is possible 

that it can try to keep up with the soul or state, 

but what happens 

is that by becoming active in the triad, 

it is actually doing the state a disservice. 

The triad should be: 

machine/passive, 

state/active, 

and soul/reconciling.

When I Am In My Essence...

 

When I am in my essence, 

it is so important to keep it pure, 

hopeful, not to clutter it with desires. 

To remain open for that grace you speak of, 

to work its magic through me, 

so I can work more freely, 

as you so beautifully say. 

The "work" we do in our essence 

has the possibility 

of summoning that creative energy 

which can so often elude 

when we are captive in our mundane desires. 

Hard to explain, 

but in our essence, 

we somehow have the possibility 

of letting go of ourselves 

so that we can more deeply BECOME ourselves. 

And then we strike that balance point 

where we give up ownership 

and can become the vessel, 

or vehicle for higher energies to flow through. 

We align with higher energies 

to create some part of that which 

we are here for, 

but which normally we struggle to find. 

And yes, it is WORK, 

but with so much help!
