In Harmony with Being

11/09

When we quiet our troubled minds, we can feel in our hearts and know that now is the time we’ve waited for, the change we've always hoped would come.

If you'll let go of all of your accumulated beliefs, blind judgments, and prejudices, you'll see Being shining through this world everywhere, in ways you’ve never imagined.

If we’ll listen closely for the enchanting melody that Mother Earth always sings, we’ll first begin to tap our toe, and then we’ll join Her in perfect harmony.

Draw back completely from all the outside posturing, pressures, and clamor, and sink deeply into the profound, soothing stillness that always awaits within.

Let your spirit sink from its usual place in your mind to the sacred space in your heart, and then observe the transformation that makes in you, and in the world around you.

When we look up from our many distractions and take time to notice and observe, we realize how completely love and grace sustain every aspect of our lives.

Empty and surrender yourself completely, letting go of anything that separates,
and make room for your Father to enter, and to fill you with His love and light.

The growth of our souls occurs more as the result of a process of ripening,
than as a consequence of any deliberate personal efforts or actions we take.

We are not the isolated, separate individual selves that it may appear we are,
but rather filaments of light, radiating from one source, and parts of one Being.

We can either zoom in, or zoom out, to explore the infinite experience of being,
from being deep inside a personal experience, to seeing through the eyes of God.

Despite our frequent doubts, we are never alone, but are constantly surrounded
by countless life forms, spirit beings, and our Father who offer love and guidance.

You can shift your attention—just as you would switch between internet sites—
selecting either an all-consuming personal drama, or an all-embracing sacred reality.

The sun’s rays, the air we breathe, the earth we walk upon, the food we eat, and even the beating of our own hearts are all freely and lovingly provided by grace.

Mother Earth’s constantly-abiding love for us is always readily available, and immediately becomes apparent any time we lift our eyes from our distractions.

It's just crazy to believe that the world we’ve built is more substantial than the incredible natural world we live in— our rock-solid, life-sustaining reality.

Each of us is a unique manifestation of an ever-expanding, all-inclusive Being,
just beginning to recognize our Self as that Being in one of its countless forms.

The cells, organs, and complex systems of our bodies work together harmoniously
to maintain, protect, heal, and regenerate us continually—all outside our awareness.

We’ve taken the path that leads away from the unraveling world we’ve known to walk wide-eyed--as trusting children— toward an opening, but unknown destiny.

You can relax, trusting that everything of significance is unfolding as it should,
without requiring any real effort, responsibility, or even awareness on your part.

Let go, let go, and then let go again, until you are crystal clear, perfectly transparent, and able to allow the loving light of Being to flow through you totally unobstructed.

Each time you are able to let go of one of your distracting, absorbing attachments
something else can arise, something new--something fresher, cleaner, and purer.

You can transform your daily living space into a sacred, holy place quite easily
by requesting that all unwelcome energy depart, and inviting Spirit to abide.

Quiet your mind, go into your open heart, intend your consciousness to rise,
and then invite Being to join you, and to answer any questions you may have.

If we will only make the effort to look more deeply beyond the outer image, we’ll discover the brilliant flame of Being burning brightly inside every form.

You can be assured that you’re always walking in the presence of God:
It is above you, below you, around you, within you—everywhere, always.

The miracle of creation is continually visible, manifesting right before our eyes, whether revealed in the tiniest leaf unfolding, or as the vast night sky.

What an enormous relief it is when we finally realize that we already are
that Being, that Oneness, that deep inside we have always longed to become.

Even when the path another person walks appears to be a very good path,
you must still determine yourself whether that path is indeed your own path.

When you tune your attention to hear only the highest, purist, and clearest voice, you always receive the direct, simple, and comforting assurance that all is well

Thank you Father Sun for bestowing your light, your warmth, your life-giving, and life-changing rays—all these gifts of your radiant love and grace.

Thank you Mother Earth for the sky above; the plants, creatures, water, and earth below; and for this vehicle, this amazing body—all gifts of your loving grace.

Seated in the still place inside yourself, you can speak with anyone you choose,
whether they be near or far, living or dead, in any realm, including your Father.

What is it in your daily life that absorbs and holds your attention so completely
that it keeps you from seeing the Being shining through everything around you?

There is a glorious, loving Being just waiting, hoping for your acceptance and love,
hidden behind each and every cautious, self-protective personality you encounter.

What a delight it is to spend time with someone at ease enough with him or her self that there's no need to distort yourself or play lesser role to allay their doubts or fears.

Clinging to memories or life-long behaviors may offer a false sense of permanence,
but the flow of being rushes ever on, washing everything clean and new as it goes.

It’s a constant life-long challenge to tame and master this wild animal we ride; our spirited, willful human body, that bucks and protests so, as we try to take the reins.

Earth changes, troubling events, and compelling dramas may swirl around us; but we can stand steady, centered, unshaken, and at peace.

Let our hearts sing “glory, glory, glory” to our loving, gracious Father and Mother, and to all our brothers and sisters of love and light scattered throughout existence.

Just as a storm's wind and rain wash clean a dreary, soot-filled, toxic sky,
so nature scours away the accumulated haze that clouds our hearts and souls.

It is very easy to hear the compelling calls of others urging you to take action,
but much harder to hear the quiet voice inside that points your own way forward.

Once we ride our own light back to Source, we reconnect with all of Being,
and connect again with all the strands of light that extend out through creation.

Our Father has never abandoned us, and has never stopped loving us: His light,
love and acceptance aren’t gifts He gives us, but the very essence of His Being.

It’s impossible to anticipate what this chaotic, changing world holds in store; but we can relax, trust in the flow of creation, and open our hearts to embrace what comes.

Empty yourself, open yourself, and then invite the higher Self inside you
to speak the calm, clear truth, and to shine through you the unobstructed light.

Our entire troubled world could be washed clean in just one startling instant, but it and we endure for sake of the love, hope, and purposes that are still unfolding.

We humans are not the rulers, residents, or even guests here on Mother Earth;
but we arise as part of Her, as spirit beings dressed by Her in human form.

Our personal beliefs, judgments, and prejudices are simply accumulated illusions
that condition our perceptions and reactions to what is, separating us from oneness.

Your Father’s light, love, and acceptance flow to and through your being constantly, but you must open to accept these gifts, and work to clear away any obstacles.

Just as each individual atom contributes to form the body we know as a person,
each of us is an integral, significant piece of the oneness that flows as a whole.

More potent than any expression of our outrage, protest, or urgent call for change, what best serves to soothe Mother Earth’s pain is when we truly hold Her in our hearts.

Our world--this world we see, touch, taste, and smell— is just one small facet, one of countless possibilities within the vast glittering crystal of existence.

Continually knowing less and less, and trusting more and more is the wisest and the humblest way to walk into an unknownable now.

We are all glorious beings of light, overlaid with biology and cultural accumulations, all diligently seeking to find our way back to that original light--back to ourselves.

You shine as a bright guiding beacon of light, love, and peace here on this earth,
making your precious, unique contribution because of who you are--your being.

No matter how it appears, we are always deeply loved by everyone and everything, because behind the many confusing disguises, we are all parts of one loving being.

We can prepare ourselves to enter a higher realm, by shedding our remaining attachments, and accepting and harmonizing with the necessary changes that move us toward rebirth.

This holy earth we live upon is not as solid or as permanent as it may appear to be, and we must go along as it transforms itself and assumes its place in a higher realm.

From our extremely limited vantage point, it's impossible to see or understand the hand, or purpose that triggers events, and guides our steps toward fulfillment.

Until you recognize yourself in everything, and know everything as your Self,
you can be quite certain that there’s still something more left for you to release.

Though very difficult, we do possess the capability of looking beyond our beliefs,
arbitrary judgments, and prejudices to recognize the one Self that we all share.

Mother Earth is a being, a whole, who always seeks a return to natural balance; and every plate shift, eruption, or strong storm shifts her…and us…toward that harmony.

Just as the sun’s rays radiate out in all directions and still arrive as sunlight;
Being radiates out through all creation, and we are that light of God arriving.

With three slow breaths you can remove yourself from all judgment and stress,
and restore yourself to the harmonious, flowing Being in which we always abide.

Anywhere you find yourself, seek ways to remain in touch with the natural world, as nature always shines a constant light that can cleanse your body and your soul.

What a rascal God must be to clothe Himself in such unlikely, unrecognizable forms, and what a delight it is to discover Him here, hidden away inside each and every one.

Seek to see God in everything, and beliefs, judgments, and prejudices all fall away; and once free of beliefs, judgments, and prejudices, oneness becomes apparent.

Our Mother Earth is a spirit manifest in form— just as we are spirits in this human form—and while she loves us dearly and provides freely, she very much appreciates the love we offer in return.

Before we undertake any action in our lives, we should first take a brief moment
to enter into our heart to make certain that our action is in harmony with our Self.

You can determine the advisability of taking any action quite simply
by asking yourself if you intend to carry it out with an open heart.

We are part of a vast cosmic community that extends out through the stars, with brothers and sisters who eagerly and lovingly await our imminent reunion.

We can live the deeper mystery and feel the magic in everything around us if we will walk with, not on, Mother Earth and converse with Her as a living being.

The world we’ve constructed is ruled by artificial time constraints and expectations, while the natural world around us flows in cycles, and unfolds only in the present moment.

For the most part, we live entirely unaware of the harmony operating in our world, neither noticing the breath taken without thought, nor the life-giving air that fills our lungs.

Mother Earth has finally begun Her transformation and rise into a higher realm: Now we and everything must change as well, and prepare to make that journey with Her.

From a central one-point, God’s consciousness streams out through all existence,
and we are that consciousness recognizing itself, and restoring itself to oneness.

Even those of us who have yet to heal, and those with doubts, burdens, and hard lives are loved beyond our ability to accept, and are always embraced in the heart of Being.

We are about to move into a less dense higher realm, a realm of greater light,
and must shed all darkness, all of our light-obstructing judgments and beliefs.

Like Noah, we are riding out a daunting storm, unclear of our destination, but trusting that we will soon wash up safe on a cleansed and pristine shore.

The spiritual beings of light we turn to for guidance, encouragement, and inspiration are radiated rays of light like us, but manifest the clarity of a higher vibrating realm.

We are the distant manifestations of a stream of light that originates from Source,
swimming back upstream as ever-purer forms, until we become that One once again.

The loving light of God--the very force of life--radiates through us constantly, but we must turn inward, toward the light inside, to recognize it shining there.

If we step back to view Mother Earth from space, floating in the dark vast void, we see just what an incredible jewel She is, one of God’s most precious treasures.

The most important thing we can do now is to stop worrying, stop resisting,
stop pushing, stop tensing, stop clinging, stop doubting…and trust in Being.

We remove ourselves from Mother Earth and the natural harmony she embodies,
but if we’ll humble ourselves, She’ll embrace us, and remind us how to live again.

Everything in the cosmos is part of one elegant, harmonious symphony of light, directed by a masterful, loving hand, joyfully exploring an ever-expanding creation.

When you make your way outside the city, and enter an open, natural space,
you feel the weight of density lift, and Mother’s energy welcomes you home.

Let go of all personal responsibility and allow Being to fully manifest through you; to see what It would see, to act as It would act, and to be as It would be through you.

As we release our beliefs, judgments, prejudices, attachments, and fears;
we become less our lower, denser selves, and more like God, our highest self.

There are those who see, hear, and touch the mystery in everything around them,
and we can heighten and tune our senses to know and love the world as they do.

The road forward from here leads us back to the land, back to Mother Earth,
requiring that we build a new relationship with Her, one based on mutual love.

When asked, God has one single, overriding message that He wishes us to hear,
and that message is that He loves us all, and accepts us all, without any exceptions.

There’s no time left for procrastination or resistance, as the pace of change is quickening to awaken both our awe…and our humility.

Everyone and everything on this earth is a conscious being and a living teacher,
with a personal lesson to teach us, if we are only willing to pay attention and to listen.

As we radiate more of Being, we become more fragrant and attractive, drawing people and Spirit Beings, and enjoying many more synchronistic experiences.

As we empty ourselves, and manifest higher levels of consciousness, energy, and light, Spirit responds by infusing us with even more light, creating an ever-ascending spiral.

3/10

Simple, heart-felt ceremonies held at sunrise, the full moon, or at the change of season celebrate creation, express our love and gratitude, and recommit our surrender to Being.

Nature flows as a self-sustaining, self-balancing whole when left to Herself, and we can find our rightful place in that whole by observing Her and following Her instructions.

We have seen ourselves as separated from Nature, working against an outside force, but we are part of the vast web of life, Nature’s cherished prodigal sons and daughters.

Everything in nature, in all of being, has its place and its role to fulfill in creation,
and we are no exception, making our contributions unaware of our part in the whole.

The more aware we become of the complexity and interrelatedness of life, the more compelled we feel to stand in awe, and humbly bow our heads in gratitude.

The entire earth, and every living thing upon it, serves us as a metaphor, teaching us to live in harmony, and revealing the deeper mysteries of creation.

Mother Earth loves us, and willingly offers up everything we need to meet our needs; but for our part, we must learn to love, trust, and to co-operate with Her in return.

This life, this world--all of creation--is so incredibly elegant and beautiful that it would waste our gift of awareness not to marvel, admire, and give thanks.

If you walk this earth with an open heart, radiating love and light as you go your way, Mother Earth and your brothers and sisters will embrace and aid you on your journey.

Looking down from a mountain top or plane, we see ourselves in the larger context, revealing our fragile, impermanent reality, dwarfed against the backdrop of creation.

No matter where you find yourself, or how aware you are, along the ray of light
that extends from Source out through creation you are still that one glorious light.

Why approach life’s mysteries only through the teachings of others when all of life’s lessons are laid out before us all, ready to be experienced personally and directly?

Can you trust now, while the world around you seems so uncertain, divisive, and chaotic; while Mother Earth Herself shifts and shakes beneath your very feet? Can you trust now?

Whether we find ourselves on a beautiful beach or confined to a small cell, we can always find a manifestation of life, revealing itself as a miracle anywhere we are.

Mother Earth provides everything—the air we breathe, the food we eat, the water we drink, the homes we live in, and even the bodies we inhabit—a precious grace we take for granted.

You can align yourself with the rushing torrent of social interaction and transaction, or you can opt instead to harmonize with the rooted, steady, flowing energy of nature.

Your Father offers to walk beside you here on earth and be your constant companion, but you must welcome Him, make a place for Him, and stay open to His loving presence.

Life is emerging, transforming, and expanding with an incredible tenacity, always striving to fulfill itself and to honor the Light that brought it forth.

Every realm of existence operates at its own vibration, under its own conditions;
and now, as the earth’s vibration is being raised, we’re seeing new laws take effect.

4/10

We can learn to open our heart to embrace and harmonize with everything around us, but ultimately we open to embrace and harmonize with Being, and we become one.

5/10

The one true purpose for our prayers is to express our heart-felt love and gratitude to our Father for His grace that spins out existence in such perfect harmony.

6/10

We may be aware of our deep longing to harmonize and become one with our Father, but it’s a wonderful surprise to realize that our Father also longs to become one with us.

7/10

The more closely you harmonize with Being, the more completely you release the
misperceptions that create the sense of separation, until you once again align, and remember who you are.

We each align our self with some limiting focus that directs our attention and life energy, but why not choose to align with our Father, our highest Self, and align with all of Being?

To fully harmonize with your Father, you must release everything to make room for Him to enter into you, and to align with you more completely, until ultimately you become one.

Once you harmonize with your Father completely and become one with Him,
you discover that everyone and everything else exists in perfect harmony as well.

10/10

Go into that sacred space in your heart, into that place where we are one with Being; then open your heart, and radiate oneness, love, and light to all your brothers and sisters.

11/10

Our Self is one with our Father, who gave rise to, and then entered into everything; so when we enter into our Self, we are one with our Father, and everything else as well.

Draw back from attachments and enter your Self, where all artificial boundaries dissolve, and in that Self you are one with God, the Self of all, and become one with everything.

2/11

Ttransform the problems and the limits of duality by abiding in open-hearted oneness, and radiating that love and light through all of our thoughts and actions.
