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.

Strive...

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
