You Have Heard That It Was Said..




"You have heard that it was said, 
‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ 
But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. 
If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, 
turn to them the other cheek also. 
And if anyone wants to sue you 
and take your shirt, 
hand over your coat as well. 
If anyone forces you to go one mile, 
go with them two miles." 


His concept of the Higher Law 
goes beyond features. 
He sees others with his Soul, 
and he sees their Soul. 
This can be so difficult. 
Sometimes I feel I only barely glimpse 
understanding of such falling away of 
features like judgment, fear and power. 
It requires such humility, 
such presence, such Love. 
The Higher Right always seems 
to come back to Higher Love.

Our Experiences on Earth...




Our experiences on earth, including our suffering, 
are gifts to strengthen the Soul and to help grow our Being.  
There is nothing good or bad, there aren’t highs and lows... 
there are only experiences.  
Our work is to trust and believe in Love.  
And our key to Being Love 
is acceptance and forgiveness. 
  
This 'Work' is not an intellectual exercise. 
You can't think your self into presence. 
And once you have realizations of sleep 
or observe the manifestations of features, 
we don't need to analyze them 
and process them through the intellect... 
for this is not being present. 
We just have to utilize these moments 
as 'keys' to enter presence 
by quieting the machine and inviting the nameless...
by allowing in impressions that can pierce us 
and elevate us to the higher worlds.

The Day Sky...





The Day Sky

Let us be like
Two falling stars in the day sky.

Let no one know of our sublime beauty
As we hold hands with God
And burn

Into a sacred existence that defies - 
That surpasses

Every description of ecstasy
And love.

It is Spring Again...




“It is spring again. 
The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart.”
