Song Of Myself...

 


AI Generated



Song of Myself
What a gift to receive these words 
of the eliminations of someone living 
on the terms undefined by W48 
but rather realms we understand to be of a mystical form. 
It is my pleasure to welcome the angels 
to speak to me 
as it is their wish to reach each of us 
and it is in a language that defies W48 reason.
I awoke yesterday morning with a curious message, 
and it meant nothing to me until later in the day 
when out planting a rose bush. 
I was preparing the soil 
with the final hour of light 
that was so beautiful to be out in. 
And then all of a sudden it became very dark overhead, 
storm clouds arrived swiftly as the sun was setting. 
I typically would ignore it 
and keep working 
when I am out with my hands in the soil. 
The morning image of yellow polka dots 
was still in my consciousness 
and at this time on an interview on my ear pods, 
the director brought up his uncle 
who passed and was inspiration 
for a deep feeling 
to work on a big project 
for since he had passed. 
His uncle loved the idea of a polka dot car, 
and I awoke to myself. 
I knew I had to move inside 
and as soon as I was inside 
the lightning struck nearby. 
I understood the angels use a unique language!

In The World but Not from It



In the Peace Pagoda in Pokhara, 
I found a peculiar statue of Lord Buddha. 
With one hand pointing up and the other down. 

It reminded me of the painting of 
The Academy by Rafael, only there, 
Plato is pointing up and Aristotle down. 

This reminds me of the Sufi saying: 
“Being in the world but not from this world”

I Love The Passage...

 

AI Generated


 I love the passage from 
"In search of the Miraculous”. 
That ‘conscious nucleus!’ 
It's the spark, 
the fire within us. 
I need to tend to it, 
to not extinguish it. 
To keep it going, growing. 
And the fire will ward off the ego, 
the 'ordinary self'. 
I can feel it inside of me. 
The fire within. 
To lead with that, 
with the inner. 
Beautiful.

To Replace All Negative Attitudes ...

 



"To replace all negative attitudes 
towards the existing world 
by a feeling of confidence and love 
towards the new world that is being born,
towards the still unborn child 
that is the future of mankind, 
to arouse in oneself constantly 
this love of future humanity.
Every time one observes some kind of negative attitude, 
to take this as the reminder 
that we human beings 
live on this Earth in order to serve -
and particularly to serve the future, 
and to serve with love, 
with hope, 
with confidence that it is possible 
for humankind to be born again."
~J.G. Bennett: from a talk on November 7, 1972

As Above the Clouds, So Below



This morning I awoke in the full 
glory of sunrise, above the clouds. 

Easy to be present. 

Then the descent. Literally. 

Bellow the clouds, there is reality. 
Not easy to be present. 

Both are good opportunities for the work.

You Wander...

 


Amedeo Modigliani



"You wander from room to room 
hunting for the diamond necklace 
that is already around your neck!"

From Mervyn...

 


Edward Burne-Jones



 From Mervyn - 
he also said something to the effect that 
often we think it is the soul who is speaking. 
But it’s really the creature in us 
and we don’t even know it. 
I have verified this many times with myself, 
even the nice creature. 
Because of this I’m sitting here right now, 
seeing my creature with its many I’d 
and just holding it 
with some divided attention when I remember. 
It is really a moment to moment, 
second to second thing. 
So grateful because it is helping me separate a little. 
The creature is here 
and it seems like an important warning.

Giving Nature of God

The Return of The Prodigal Son - Rembrandt


"I declare that I will not pray to God to give to me, 
nor praise Him for what He has given me, but, 
I will pray to him to make me worthy to receive, 
and I will praise Him because 
He is of such a nature and essence that 
He must give. 

That we must thus in truth become the son, 
may that truth help us, of which I have spoken. 
Amen."
 
~Meister Eckhart

He Draws Us...

 



"He draws us unto Himself by love… 
and then we can do nothing but behold Him
enjoying, with a high, 
mighty desire to be all oned unto Him—
centered to His dwelling—
and enjoy His loving and delight in His goodness."
~Julian of Norwich
