The Ways

Posted in Fantasy, inspiration at 1:04 pm by admin

Long ago he learned to walk the ways. He traveled through mirrored cities with mountains in distance and over huge railways diagonal to the sky. On Tarpenthe he sang with the Myriad Angels as second tenor first tier a high honor he still holds close in his heart. Ancient stories, lost civilizations, friends come and gone and technologies discovered and buried in the midst of chaos as a world gone greedy sucked the life out of the sky until it was no more. He switched realities in mid stream and rescued fair maidens, saved whole civilizations from ruin and even taught himself to fly on Gentar where the gravity was the same as Earth only their consciousness permitted and expected the miraculous and therefore were rewarded with the same.

Through all of this she was with in person or in spirit moving along to the beat of his songs that he would sing everywhere they went. On every world, each dimension and through the many permutations of reality he always knew her because they were a part of one soul one purpose and one reality that was a light unto all they came across. He would know her instantly because he felt like dancing or laughing all at the same time. You see they had this purpose given to them long ago. Go out and make new worlds and make them better by becoming all that is good or by expanding your thoughts to create something from nothing.

He stood with her now in those in between places that appear like portals along the ways where Creation gives a pregnant pause and stillness wraps around them. This feeling is intensely blissful and sometimes they will just burst out laughing from the joy and magnitude of it all. They wait for eons now passing the time as if it were moments and then a scene of unparalleled beauty comes at them through the portal in sound and colors taking on the various shapes they are so familiar with. Life soars in the appearance of the skies above and the waters below and they are drawn steadily within this newest sphere of effulgence. As they glide downwards land masses form and then are swallowed up by the seas as a tidal battle ensues land versus sea and finally the calm of accommodation and the shared unity that both land and sea share shines now in their synthesis.

They take their very first step and are transfigured by the moment their bodies transformed and growing into the exact proportions of life and spirit that are meant for this world. They cannot move now like seeds planted in the earth they sprout forth every manner of being. Flying things, crawling dancing skipping creatures, large rumbling hordes of flesh and dust fly past them. It is all very familiar to them and yet still they are filled with the wonder of it all. They smile hold hands and walk along the edge of a lake that empties via several streams and marshlands into the vast ocean. This is the moment they have been waiting for where the whole world is listening.

She speaks first, “Behold all of creation brought forth into this day,” Her voices flows melodiously across the waters. There is silence after her echoes fade and then the answer that is like a thousand trumpets lifted to announce the arrival of the King, “Yes we are here,” Comes the answer to her call.

He swims across the lake followed by an iridescent stream of nautical creatures flowing around seeming to carry him and yet they are led this way and that openly and freely. In the center of the lake a fountain gushes like a geyser where you cannot see how high it has grown. A song is playing in the water and as he grows closer he listens to the words.

One morning comes this season I have waited for begins
Life without end it lasts forever.
This night upon the hour we will stand on the shore
Looking back no more we go inside of the mountain.

She joins him as the waterfall turns into a silver road leading to a mountain that opens a wide chasm to let them enter. The song continues.

I can see now that deep within there are many roads to follow
Straight ahead lies the way to the many forms we have taken
Now we are one no more hesitation
We don’t have to do that again.
Look to your left and look to your right all the stars are wearing faces
And everyone we know to be our very own very sun.

An amazing labyrinth of roads and colors lay before them. An entire civilization is in progress here within. They walk along the edge of a narrow path that borders an abyss which soon grows wider as they find themselves in front of a steep cascading cliff. There seems at first to be no way forward and then the music shows them the way.

Above us in the air there are curious winged creatures.
They’re carrying a carriage and they come on down to meet us.
This must be the chosen path to climb up the mountain.
They enter the carriage it rises in the air.

They go higher and higher until finally they alight on a plateau with endless vistas. And yet right in front of them is a wondrous sight. Cue the music.

We’re taken to the top and come on into the temple square.
Light is formed here thoughts are colors
In your mind you can refine illusions into perfection.
Good is all around us.

Peace of mind is not hard to find if only you would remember
You are part of the One of Being
You were there when it all began.

Now they remember. This place is called the Central Reality. No matter where they travel to or what fantastic worlds they dream up it is here that grounds them and it their jumping off point into forever.

Dancers are circling all around us.
They follow in the movement of light.
There’s a question and an answer.
They’re the very same thing.
It’s what I’ve been trying to tell you.
This journey never has to end.

They embrace filled with their love and joy in this moment sacred of moment. Music plays on.

I’m holding you we’re thinking bout the places we have seen
Almost like in a dream we’re floating in bliss.
The island of awakening so far below.
Look to where we must go.
Adventurers journey home.

Yes there it is. The island of awakening shimmering with golden speckles of color. Their home still remains intact pure and eternal. Memories flood back in and with it the simultaneous awakenings of stories told and untold.

Stopping by to exchange a tale to fill our cups and drink some ale
Travelers are gathered all around us
Everyone with shining eyes there’s no disguise
A sailor is singing songs now
You can be what you want to be if all you want is love inside.
Clouds may blow on a stormy sea.
Life is my friend and the wind is free.

Light flows in all directions the two of them still listen to the music as it fades as they into mid air gliding along for a few moments before returning to their island of awakening with its adventurer’s journey home. Two cats greet them with purrs and excitement. For them they’ve been gone for only a few moments. In the meadow just beyond their home a horse rears up to say hello and passing seagulls give their calling sighs. They shut the picket fence behind them and go inside their home. A fire is burning and warm food is cooking on the hearth. And so they invoke the blessing of the home and of this newly born world.

May the warmth of this fire reach up to heaven.
May the happiness in these hearts be the leaven
For the abundance of life and good for all
Wherever life does flow rising tall.
And may this love that lasts forever be ever renewed this moment, this time and this day for now and eternally.

There they spent the night letting their dreams dream dreams and their thoughts think of new adventures. Outside the wind was blowing softly and an owl woke up with a start almost falling out of his tree. Chipmunks chattered endless through the night losing sleep but all abuzz with the gossip of their return. The Birne Tree walked over closer to the house they slept in to watch over them and to listen to their words of love spoken through the night. In the morning they were gone of course off on some incredible quest against impossible odds with miracles for their bag of tricks and two loving hearts to keep them safe against the uncertainties of these hidden lands that are called the Ways.

Transformation Changes Everything

Posted in inspiration at 8:03 am by admin

We mirror what we attend to, we see what expect to and we live as we are meant to except for one thing.  Transformation changes everything.

The foundation of everything radiates from the heart of love and then expands to include our hopes and dreams.  You see that when we reach up for that which we so fervently envision we are building stairways to the stars that intermesh their transformative fields to activate the new earth right there in our midst beyond even the wildest speculations. 

In the ancient days they had words for this kind of thing that have passed along with the ages however through meditation and the return of the magic we once knew we are once again able to tap into and employ this star born energy of awakening to realize the eternal, the everlasting and the fulfillment of a million lifetimes. The ancient weaving of mind stuff has returned with the warp and woof of your mind as the primal material both base and unformed and yet with an intelligence far beyond the even these spelling crafts that draw symbols inside of the nexus of making. 

At this point perhaps you are wondering just where am I and then there is this feeling both familiar and warm that tells you that you are home. What is this home?  It is the place where you’ve come from are going to and enjoying along the way.  Tap deeper now for your consciousness can know no bounds.  What do you see?

I am abiding by a stream in summer where the warmth of early morning is filtered by a cool breeze.  Catfish are swimming by as the water rushes over rocks gurgling and splashing on by.  The air still carries dew and a mist is just beginning to lift in the distance where the stream joins the river.  Everything is there.  All who I love everything that I’ve ever dreamed of or conceived into being dances along these familiar waters.  What’s more is that the feeling is there of being that place that is me the unmistakable quality of I am not searching but remaining as a comfort a long lost friend or a new one delighting you in the moment with each revelation.

Absolutely Right About Everything ARAE

Posted in humor, inspiration at 1:04 pm by admin

At first it was a real kick to be Absolutely Right About Everything ARAE.  She would overhear a conversation in passing and put her two cents in and sure enough, ARAE.  People would stop what they were doing and say things like,

“You know she was right about that,” or “Right on sister get on with your good foot,” or “how in the heck could she possibly know that?” 

It started to happen that no matter where she went she couldn’t help being ARAE.  The most comical instances were when she would go to a political rally and hear the politicians spout their usual catch phrases.  She would walk up and down and tell everyone who was around her exactly what was going on.  It was like an electric shock going through the crowd, which became speechless.  Meanwhile the speaker just thought the people were being awfully respectful until she drew near and he overheard what she was saying.  At that point he handed the mike over to her so that she could speak.  And oh could she speak.  When you are ARAE there isn’t any subject upon which you could not speak interminably for hours.  As time passed it was evident who our next leader had to be.

For the first time ever a leader was elected by acclamation.  She was proclaimed and installed as our next president the very same day as the old president not knowing anything at all about a variety of subjects could not get out of there fast enough.  He knew at least when he was overmatched.  The funny thing is people listened to her.  They were compelled by her good sense.  It was incontrovertible.  Now for the first time in history we all agreed completely about something; the fact that she was ARAE. 

The rest of the world was as well acquainted with her as we were and in fact they were a little bit pissed off that she went about acting as though she knew ARAE.  Perhaps it was the language barrier that kept the world in such a state of a combination of jealously and general overall hurt feelings.  After all they should get to be right about some things some of the time right?  It was only fair.  Luckily she had the answer to this dilemma (of course) and soon charmed the entire world with her length and breadth of knowledge on every subject.  For a glorious two-year period the entire world got its act together.  Peace, equality, poverty solved, no more sickness and a plan for the distribution of land that was pure genius.

Sitting in her office in the middle of town she looked at the diminishing list of problems that flowed across her desk.  Each day there were less and less.  Today only three problems worldwide and these were due a couple of kids who deliberately were screwing things up because they knew she needed something to work on.  Finally as even these minor glitches were solved she had nothing to do.  People went about their business with renewed purpose and a sense of belonging like they had never had before.  She however, felt alone.  How could you have a discussion with someone who you know is ARAE.  I mean you couldn’t even say in passing, ‘how about those Dodgers?’ because of course she would tell you and there would be nothing left to say.  

It was over she realized as she walked away from everything that had built up around her and decided from now on she would not say anything about what should be done or should not be done.  People respected her wishes and things more or less returned to their mostly chaotic state still we had a few good years and that is more than anyone could have hoped for.  What ever happened to her?  She became a fortuneteller in a traveling carnival where she still tells people what she knows.  She just doesn’t tell them everything she knows and that seems to be a fair deal for all concerned.

The Quantum Universe

Posted in inspiration at 9:07 am by admin

The Quantum Universe is never what you think it is or is it?  Thoughts affect everything in exact proportion to the strength of your Intentional focus.  Focus improves with emotional clarity raised to the level of the highest contemplation of unity possible in the moment.  I speak to you now communicating what I will and you hear what you must and through this process we are both transformed.  Have you ever been with someone and felt something and then found yourself thinking thoughts that you would not normally have encountered without the inspiration of the other?  That is the Quantum Universe working its magic not as an effect but as a grand state of being. 

 

Did you know that there were portals or doorways within the Quantum Universe where the forces of atomic particles exchange energy back and forth via vibrational frequencies that align and realign the interstices of these forces?  It turns out that what we are doing now by focusing upon this grand state of being has exactly the same processes in play as are evident within the theoretical worlds of atomic reality.  Why is this important? 

 

If we know for example that by shifting our thoughts ever so slightly we will gain access to those worlds that we’ve been envisioning all along then it might be a good time to pay attention to not what is going on in terms of thought but also what is happening within this Quantum Universe within which we all live. 

 

These portals appear directly because of our attention and recognition of them and when they appear you will immediately experience a raising of your energy level as in an altered state of consciousness.  Words may not immediately describe what you are feeling but if you can suspend your judgments for just a moment about such things you will experience a soaring kind of letting go like feeling.  This is the energy of transformation moving through you much like the Starship Enterprise’s transporter beams.  In this case what is being transported is also becoming transformed in its entirely in effect bringing about a brand new world complete now with your chosen place in that world.  That’s why its important to pay attention as you think through this exercise otherwise you’ll end up exactly where you were and not where your heart’s desire would like you to be.

 

How much does this attention cost?  Well today and today only $19.95 if you act now and we’ll throw in twice as much as we originally said we would.  Just kidding.  The only cost is your attention that focus that brings you through interstices intact with all of your atoms changing the world around you to suit those thoughts that are the shapers of your destiny from time immemorial. 

 

Don’t ask if this is working?  Just remember that this technique will take you out of your status quo and into your heart’s desire every time.  It will change your Quantum Universe from reactive to active meaning you get to hold the reins or let them go as you choose and are not subject to any forces that you choose not to pay attention to. 

 

Now since everything is a part of everything else even this realization is just another something to build upon in your quest to be ‘eternally free and eternally young.’ (Steely Dan-What a beautiful world this would be)

 

It’s all there for you in every moment exactly as described above.  What you make of it is your life, your choice and your chance to make it right first time every time.  See you out there.

Something Wonderful

Posted in inspiration, short stories at 9:48 am by admin

Expect something wonderful by experiencing the feeling first.  Let it come over you like a rush of enlightenment and then later as a wave that bursts over head carrying you all the way to shore.  Then let it happen again and again in greater degrees of unfolding revelation.  For example:

The great sage Napa Naidu Apasa used to go for vision quests just outside of Beni Mellal near where the now artificial Lake Bin el Ouidane lies 60 km away.  Here in the Atlas Mountains the terrain was rugged with many surprises.  Some said that various genii had their homes in the crevices and hidden canyons.  Napa Naidu Apasa would say, ‘Genii, Shmini, I’m here on my own business, a little meditation, perhaps a vision of the Eternal or two and then back for some Kapooshka, an early form of golf played with pine cones.

Late in the second day of his journey he stopped to rest  in a small enclave formed by the overhanging rocks.  Just as he was preparing his meal there was a whoosh. Sure enough it was one of those Genii standing before him hands folded over her chest.  She was dressed in a golden silk wrap around dazzling with hues of oranges, reds and blues.  She stood there in the light letting Napa behold her startling beauty.  He looked up smiled and continued preparing his vegetable repast.

“Ahem,” She said a little annoyed.

“I cannot look upon such beauty without the deepest respect.  Truly you are awe inspiring,” Napa said knowing exactly the right thing to say.  “Please come in out of the sun and join me for dinner,” He said in the time honored greeting of host to guest.

“I am Satongee queen of these mountains ruler of the seven sphere of effluence, master of the realms between here and there.  Don’t ask me for wishes I am not that kind of Genii,” Satongee said entering the shade bowing gracefully to Napa.  “I’ve watched you traveling before and wanted to meet you.  You Napa are indeed a strange man.  You ask me for nothing.  What do you come here for in this barren wasteland?”

“Ah Satongee queen of these mountains ruler of the seven sphere of effluence, master of the realms between here and there, I come for wisdom.  Oh can I just call Satongee without all of those titles?”  Napa asked.

“You may strange Napa,” She answered sitting beside him smiling now for the first time. “You seek wisdom.  Well you’ve come to the right place.  I know all and see all.  Perhaps we may strike a bargain?” She asked.

“Well no doubt you have all the answers that I am seeking yet I would never want to impose on you.  After all you did not ask for me to come your way.  Besides what could you who have everything and know everything ever hope to strike a fair bargain with me a mere Sage with little money or anything other to give except like you what I know?” Napa asked her.

“What you say is true.  Still there is something that you could do for me.  I am embarrassed to say that I am stuck in these mountains.  Sure this is a paradise for me.  Look over there,” She pointed where glorious cities appeared on the horizon and dancers and musicians passed nearby giving sights and sounds no man had ever seen before this day.  “But you know a girl just has to travel sometime to see the sights and visit other lands.  I can only go so far as these mountains and then an invisible wall stops me.  I’ve tried to fly over it, under it around it but all the same I am most surely stuck.  Surely you a man of wisdom could help me.  I will grant you anything in return.  Riches, honors, great fame all may be yours if you free me from this place.

“I see dear Satongee how frustrated you are at being bound by these mountains.  I will try and help you.  My quest is always for the Eternal One, the Perpetual All that is.  Perhaps by focusing on your dilemma I will come closer in my own answers,” He told her standing up now and pacing.

“But wait!  You did not tell me what you want in return,” She said perplexed at his pacing.

“No worries.  I am the one who benefits from helping you.  I could never accept payment as such.  However, perhaps we could speak a while and in that conversation would be all the payment that each of us would need,” Napa said sitting down once more.

“So tell me how high is heaven?” Napa asked.  This question took Satongee by surprise.

“I thought you weren’t going to ask anything of me.  Wait a minute I’ll be right back,” She answered rising into the air and disappearing for three days during which Napa had enjoyed unbroken meditation on the whispering of the Eternal.  When Satongee finally returned she replied.

“It never ends I mean I just kept going and going and saw such wonders as I’ve never seen and still more all the time I was traveling,” She said breathlessly.

“Did you by any chance make a left or right turn as you left the earth behind?” Napa asked.

“No just straight up.  Wait a minute.  Once I reached the 457th heaven I explored everywhere.  I thought I would be lost but somehow found my way back,” She answered.  Napa began laughing.

“Are you mocking me?  No I see kindness in your eyes.  Oh my I see what you are saying now.  I was earth bound but once I reached heaven I was free.  Let me try something,” She said quickly vanishing again for a night and a day before returning.

“Once I left the earth I was able to go from Heaven to earth anywhere I wanted to.  There are no barriers from earth to heaven or visa versa.  That’s what you were telling me.  Oh my great Napa you are a wonderful man,” She said sitting besides him kissing him on his forehead.  I am free.  I am free.  Please tell me what I can do for you.  Anything my dear sweet deliverer,” Satongee said crying tears of joy creating instant rivers that washed down from the mountains creating for a moment the lush springs of plenty where for ten years all who bathed there were rewarded with long life and lasting wealth.

“Nothing but your freedom Satongee.  This is the greatest blessing of all.  I am happy beyond belief.  My meditations are over and now I must return.  Thank you so much for the blessings of your freedom for it is what I came for not knowing when I started out on my quest,” Napa gave her a hug and smiled as he made his way back to Beni Mellal.

Satongee flew off to the 100345th heaven where she met a wonderful genii who loved to play checkers by placing planets in orbits one by one.

Holy Ground

Posted in Uncategorized at 8:19 am by admin

The fundamental unity between thought and form is that our intention be realized as maker and as form. In all of this process we require training in order to recognize the various steps. Our only training is the recognition that every moment is special. All ground is holy ground. Every person is one with I AM. This recognition is the blessing and the gift and means everything now that you have had a chance to share in it. Live your life in love and keep the high watch always. There you will see your dreams come true and witness the Eternal in every breath you take.

Each Day Begin Again Anew

Posted in Poetry, inspiration at 7:44 am by admin

To all who peruse these pages:

Each day begin again anew.
Refresh yourself as in a clear pool.
Imagine nothing and then all that you would wish to be.
Focus through chaos and see joy by making it up as you go along.
Your own counsel rules you know.

Forget about the game of life or mastering it.
Master your thoughts one at a time and soon you’ll feel the flow of love that is you awakening and blossoming in full flower,

Warmest thoughts

Look and Listen

Meetings On the Edge of a Far Out Cloud

Posted in Poetry, inspiration, self help at 9:35 am by admin

Meetings On the Edge of a Far Out Cloud

In this universe of one the perfection of being is always taking place.
I am that which I am seeking as even this seeking passes away.
Realization remains infinite and ever becoming filled with thought
And overflowing with the forms of my imagination.

I am all that I can be yet wait there is something more.
When I look in your eyes a universe is there to behold.
If we should touch even just in passing I am filled with
A sense beyond what I have dreamed either you or I are.

I relax to let go of the world that appears to be
In no mind my thoughts they set themselves free.
No longer do I ask what am I becoming?
It is self-evident and that is all I ever needed to know.

Spirit is always knocking on your door.
Welcome most welcome as you stand aside and open.
It is like a wind that blows through you
And like a soft cloud that you lay your head upon.

Then turning around you are face to face.
Ever soaring now this feeling right in place.
That wasn’t so hard was it?
I didn’t think so. 
Let’s try it again.
