Behold all the light of your souls!
You shine the brightest, my child.
Never dim your light
for you must guide others to lightness.
You are bright.
You are a beacon of knowledge in this dark world of ignorance.
Be not small for you must serve as a guide
for those who cannot see their own brilliance.
You cannot hide from your truth.
It follows you like a moth to the brighest flame.
Know that you are guided.
No, you are not a mistake.
You are a purpose unto yourself.
The darkness can bind you no more.
Release your fears.
Burn them up with your light.

You are carrying the genetic legacy of your ancestors to the next level of human existence;
You are the vessel that brings forward generations upon generations of human toil and suffering,
And blessed with the gifts necessary,
You transmute our collective energies for the wonderous evolution of All-That-Is.
The Gift of Fear May 18, 2010

An asteroid strikes the planet.
Bits of rock and dust projected violently outward.
No longer caressed by the Sun’s warming love,
The planet becomes cold and hard.
So much destruction. So much devastation;
A large hole where love once flourished,
And yet…
Love and acceptance find their way
Assimilating the crater as its own –
A wonderous feature upon the planet’s façade.
For what was the asteroid but
A part of the planet that had not been accepted
Into the whole.
Desperation May 4, 2010

You come to me in desperation, seeking solitude from something outside yourself. Know that you do not need to be helped in this way.
You exist in abundance, in miraculousness.
Separate your needs from your wants.
There is nothing in you that is lacking.
You are the perfect expression of God’s love.
To love yourself is to love God.
To accept the abundance that is rightfully yours
is God’s will.
Seek not for completion outside yourself;
for in this, you admit to lack
and the flow of abundance is denied.
Love, peace, joy are all there overflowing for you.
Open your heart and feel this abundance.
Relax and release the grip of fear on your heart.
It entices you to believe in lack and limitation.
Fear is incomplete, not you.
You are Truth — the ultimate expression of reality.
You are what is, and there is nothing else.
Objects vs. Space April 27, 2010

Peace and calm lie not in what we perceive but in what we cannot. The Creator lies in the substratum of infinite possiblity. We see the manifested object as the be-all and end-all of existence, but we miss the manifesting essence — that which allows the objects to exist. This doesn’t mean that the objects in themselves are necessarily “bad” to fixate upon. Without the objects there would be no space to focus on.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try this experiment: Focus on an object. Take an inventory of how you feel emotionally, physically and mentally. Now focus on the space between objects and take another self-inventory. Personally, I find that focusing on an object causes my mind to make associations and run rampant with thoughts, resulting in tense muscles and anxious emotions. However, focusing on space relaxes my aching muscles, empties my mind, and causes my emotions to ebb away to nothingness.

It is easy to surrender your will to someone else;
To let them make your decisions for you.
Courage comes in reclaiming your power,
Stepping up and taking responsibility for yourself.
But deep within is a fearful knowing,
“Once I do this, I must take responsibility for ALL of Creation!”
Because you know that you are the World,
And the World…is within you.
My Brother April 19, 2010

I am neither above
Nor below my brother;
We are one
In the same plane of existence.
I see the perfection and grace
In all men;
And so fear him no more.
I embrace my brother,
For we are together…
In the Now.
I Am April 16, 2010

I am nightmares
In a microcosmic dream.
I am convulsions
In a graceful ballet.
I am humming
In an orchestrated symphony.
I am loneliness
In a teeming universe.
I am awareness
In a sea of bliss.
I am.
Creation’s Call April 16, 2010

Creation is neither good nor bad. It just is.
You are the creator. You must create.
It is your birthright. It is who you are.
To deny yourself creation is akin to asking
water not to flow or the stars not to shine.
Creativity is life itself — unfettered, wild, unpredictable…
but always beautiful.
You are creation. You are life.
You cannot deny what you are.
You cannot abort your purpose.
You may run from it.
You may hide from it.
But you cannot deny the clarion call.
It will echo through your mind.
It will drive you mad…
until you claim it as your own.
