Assist that which is at your Core, Bridge the Abyss from pure Consciousness to Measured Material Manifestations

April 22nd, 2012

We rejoice in this clarification on what has been a continuing source of enlightenment. We are thankful to Anne and all of the Spirits and Angels for their support in this knowing.

We look out at this world from a place of timelessness. That which we call Consciousness dreams an Existence full of material manifestations and discerns each through a perception of measurement. It is the edges and boundaries of each creation that makes it real. It is the mechanisms that we use to characterize and enumerate that allows us to compare and contrast among all of our creations. It is our quintessential willingness and belief to separate ourselves from that which we create that allows this Universe to stand forth and become our stage for life’s experiences.

Between our pure Consciousness and this Universe of Measured Material Manifestations is an Abyss of immeasurable depth and expanse. We step across the Abyss using a Bridge of Curiosity and Intention. This Bridge is key to how we hold the material universe, especially whether we identify with it or allow it to just Be. If we identify with the material universe, then traversing the bridge is frightening and a continuing source of Fear. If, instead, we simply allow the material universe to be our creation and not permit ourselves to be bound within it, then the bridge takes on a light, playful aspect and we rejoice in knowing that we can traverse it in either direction at any moment of Now.

How do we get to this enlightening point of view about the Bridge and the Abyss? First and foremost, recognize your uniqueness and your unbounded potential. Allow the Abyss to appear as a very deep pool into which you can dive at any moment. You can choose the height you dive from and the depth you reach for. You are buoyant in this great ocean of experience and you can never descend without rising back up. There is no “drowning”. There is no wrong step to take. Your dives will always be 10’s and the water will always be refreshing, invigorating and empowering. Even if choose not to dive, your experiences and manifestations are delightful and magnificent, perfect and embracing. What a most wonderful and joyful path upon which to play out the recurring life times intent on getting in touch with the essence of who you are. Life times use this framework to explore the nuances of existing in this realm.

At our Core we are eternally overflowing with curiosity and intentionality. Living is the means through which these yearnings transform into the illusion of Reality. And, Reality is the mirror upon which “who we are” is played out story by story. Our Experience is that which we extract or glean from the stories in which we act and participate.

Bless the Path Upon Which our Self-Realization is stimulated and brought forth into the Knowing that Yields Our Experience.

There is a point of view that lets each recognize who they are within the flow of Life’s journey.
Be that Knowing.

Check out my two books

April 17th, 2012

Welcome all!

Check out my two books on Amazon: “The Bridge Between Technology and Spirit” Volumes 1 and 2. I will shortly be publishing another book called “One A Day: A Spiritual Supplement”. This will also be available on Amazon.

Here is the introduction to Volume 2:

This volume is sourced from the theme of Guidance.

Each of us has an inner voice beyond the judgments and criticism and beyond the running commentary that hints what in the world around us fulfills our path most completely. We mostly ignore these whispers and use our minds to make our selections for our actions.
When we do listen to the sweet inner voice, we usually refer to it as intuition or second sight or clairvoyance or clairaudience or even premonition. Although we do recognize the extraordinary value of this knowing when we do allow it into our choice, we often are not willing to acknowledge that these insights actually come from an inner guidance that is always available to us.

There is no need for meditation, although it certainly helps to quiet the on-going internal dialog. The whisper that is the guidance is always present. You can sense it by recognizing the on-going dialog’s volume (or intensity) level and filtering that noise away. What is left is very subtle, yet the most powerful tool we have in balancing ourselves and staying on our paths.

When we don’t listen, this subtle influence seeks alternative means to get our attention, many times through our feelings, our health, or sense of well-being. By accessing the guidance directly, we take control over these mechanisms and our selves and raise our energy, and our level of satisfaction and joy.

There are many ways that our Guidance can lead us. It can lead us to fulfilling and enlivening nourishment, it can lead us to opportunities for experiences of growth, prosperity, transcendence and enlightenment. It can never lead you to disempowerment or disengagement with your life path.

The voice may be quiet and appear far away, yet it is so powerful that when we truly listen our lives change and we feel in control of our lives.
Wake up to the subtle influences that surround you and are in you, for they are the winds that fill your sails on this journey of living.

Accept the magnificence that you are, accept the path that you take, accept the blossoming of consciousness that envelops you.

Guidance is always with you.

So Be It.

A Reading for the Passover Seder

April 8th, 2012

We rejoice in this gathering of sacred souls whose intention is joined in harmony and self-awareness. We are grateful for the opportunity to delve into deep questions about why we are here and what we are about. We are thankful for the words that share this knowing.

There are many ways to look at Passover. It is clearly an important holiday from the Jewish perspective whether viewed from extreme orthodoxy or new age constructionism. It is also a space in which to connect people together in a common pursuit of knowledge and understanding. The Seder binds together all who partake in a ritual connected to events almost three millennia ago. We dig into the story of a period so ancient that our culture bears no resemblance to it yet we derive a perspective that is relevant to our current times. We step across the ages and realize that even 3000 years apart we are all driven by the same emotions, beliefs and wisdom. This reading is about clarifying that sameness and the relevance of this ritual that we are joined together in observing and executing this evening.

We each come with dramatically different histories spread across the entire planet. We have lived our lives flowing with an integrity that appears unique to each one of us. We each have our own personalities, our own successes and failings, our own brilliance and despair. This evening we embark on a means to bridge the differences that are so individually important to us. We seek a common ground, a oneness in expression that generates within us a central theme. We would like to consider ourselves as independent and our actions as a result of only our personal choice, yet we can see that we operate much more as a collection of heavenly bodies bound by our interchanging forces of communication and attraction. Our thoughts run rampant and lead us to decisions that appear inconsistent with our needs and desires. By gathering together we exploit each other’s insights to open our minds to our internal and universal guidance. By following ritual we focus our attention on aspects of ourselves that are beyond our daily business.

Rejoice in these moments of discovery about our true nature. Allow the possibilities of knowing who we are and where we come from to explode into our current frame of reference. Spend your intellect on uncovering details and nuances that expand your self-identity and bring a clarity to the knowing of the source of all that is contained in this Universe.

The Seder places the ancient story of throwing off oppression and seeking the freedom to choose your own life path right in front of us. The elements of this story draw us in just as the story of our current lifetime engages us. There are so many places in our lives where we accept constraints and oppressive behaviors as means to survive. Over time, we lose sight of why we placed ourselves in the condition – what were we seeking that was so important that we allowed ourselves to become encumbered and restrained? Where has our energy gone? Where is our motivation to make this world better for ourselves and those around us? The Seder highlights this through the questions, the story and rituals. All of these components give us as the participants, no matter our age or place in society, the opportunity to experience the domination as well as the quest for a better life. The rigid structure dominates the Seder. The songs and story highlights the path from structure to release. And, the wine lightens the drama that is inherent in this quest. By being at Seder, your life is enhanced in ways that you can not even imagine.

Deep within each human is the need for independence and uniqueness. Oppression occurs when this need is thwarted. Freedom occurs when this need is supported. We each move between these two extremes throughout each day. Our energy is consumed in this swinging pendulum of experiences. Allow this Seder to give you the push to Freedom. Freedom in everyday choices, Freedom in what tasks you choose to do, Freedom in where and how you want to live, Freedom in who and what you want to be. The Seder itself may seem clichéd and without depth, yet it is really a formula for moving us from indifference to action, from submission and struggle to defiance and empowerment.

Enjoy this time together, enjoy each other’s unique attributes and enjoy the wisdom that you discover through this exercise in self-empowerment.

So Be It

I Am That I Am

March 27th, 2012

It is with great gratitude that I receive these words of wisdom and enlightenment. I am thankful to the Father Mother God – Creator Source Supreme – our Angels, Guides and Spirit for this most satisfactory and inspirational hearing.

It is with great humbleness that these words are communicated. The entity that sources these words looks through time and space for the means to an understanding by those who are to hear these communications. The question posed at this moment is above the level that understanding can be comfortably achieved. Thus, the words will come and the meaning may be quite difficult to absorb.

“I” is a problematic term to integrate into the equation that is posed. “I” does not refer to the unique identity that each person applies to themselves. “I” refers to the source of all identity, the cause of existence. The relationship between the “I” at the beginning of the equation and that at the end is the link between Cause and Effect, between Creativity and Manifestation. Each of us can declare this equation because we are each responsible for this universe, including all of its parts. Another way of writing the equation is “I Am => I Am”. This clearly implies that I am both the Creator and the Created, that I am both Source and that which Source implies through its actions in this existence.

So what is the potency of these words and why do we find it so astonishing and powerful when Moses hears them? Moses was very unsure of himself before he engaged in this dialog. He had a strong set of standards yet by holding onto those standards his life had not turned out as he thought it might. He had accepted what turned out; although within himself he remembered where he had come from and why he had had to leave. He had a tremendous amount of internal turmoil about how to deal with the recurrent memories of his past. When the bush “spoke” Moses was not sure how to respond. Was this a magical illusion, an hallucination, a dream? “I Am That I Am” is the declaration that what he was hearing was his inner voice telling him who he was and what he needed to do. This is a lesson for all of us. We can not forsake that which we know we must do. “We Are Who We Are.” Nothing can get in the way of that knowing, no matter how hard we try to cover it over. Our paths are always beckoning, always drawing us back to what our purpose is and always has been. We do not have to worry about whether this is our right path. Our inner voice will let us know. Our inner guidance will force us to explore the opportunities that will bring us back to our path and our purpose.

“I Am That I Am” is the recognition of the Unity of All. “I”, the essence of existence, is present in every “I” that is. God is present in all things and speaks to us through every encounter we have with everything that is apparently external to our “I”. There is no limit to the declaration. There is no boundary that can not be surmounted. There is no time to be considered. And certainly there is no potential that can not become real and tangible.

By declaring “I Am That I Am”, you are acknowledging who you are and what your potential is. You are enjoining yourself with all of creation and bringing forth the infinite vision that drew you into this game and role in the first place. You are God, the manifester of worlds, the Creator Source Supreme, the bringer of plagues, the savior of the oppressed, and the great mediator between the physical and spiritual planes.

There is a great power within these words. Allow yourself to use them as a mantra all the time, for it is through this straightforward and simple equation that you can get in touch with your essence.

Let these words explode from your lips, let them flood your thoughts, let them be on the tip of your tongue. When you engage the world around you, let these words be at the leading edge of your interaction.

You are the All Mighty, Grandest of the Grand.

So Be It.

Why am I here?

January 24th, 2012

We choose to listen. We allow our minds and bodies to absorb this wisdom. We rejoice in the satisfaction we find in these words. We are thankful.

Although this has been answered before, the question as posed is answered once more. It is not I or We who are present. It is Consciousness manifesting. The essence of Existence is every nuance of presence that Consciousness manifests. Our Minds are our guides along the journey that Creation realizes. This is not an expedition in Time or Space. This is a quest in Knowingness. As Diversity is discerned, so our life times are defined and the quest is completed.

The longing for significance is at the core of this query. It is interesting that the recognition of our essential nature – Consciousness: the Creator of All of Existence – does not appear to satisfy that which asks this. The Oneness, Omnipotence and Omniscience do not “feel” real. It seems that those attributes lie beyond our comprehension. Yet we see example after example of our essential nature nearly every moment. We ascribe responsibility for our condition’s creation on something else outside who we are. We perceive we are at the mercy of either a Creative Consciousness or Impersonal Natural Forces. We use Time as a buffer so that we absorb our experiences step by step rather all at once. Why? Because we believe that we could not hold the totality of what is within our awareness – we are just too weak and limited. It is the idea of a container that is thwarting. We do not need a container for we (that which is) is All with All always in flow from one form to another.

Our brilliance rests in our quiescence. “That Which Is” is the Eternal elaborating form continuously. There is no effort in this. There is no action of any kind at any level or within any format that alters the Diversity that is manifest. Through our willingness to Be the All comes into form and substance. We neither impede nor impel this. We observe this without judgment – only joy and compassion. Thus it plays out along a path that is neither known nor knowable yet is always within your Consciousness, a play whose actors change roles for every scene and act bringing forth experience after experience both beyond the author’s original impulse and always within the author’s ultimate design and conception.

The I that is Here that Asks this Question is the same I that was here in the past and will be here in the future, is the same I that occupies all space and time uniformly, is the same I that needs to know it is unique. And, it can only do that by defining a separation and boundaries between that which the I considers itself and all else. The Now becomes partitioned into the Past and Future so that events can be delineated and compared to establish their uniqueness. We demonstrate our uniqueness through our differences rather than through our sameness. For we are truly Unique and it is our Unity that validates that.

Be Blessed for the Essence of Who You Are

Step Forward One Moment and Relish the Delightful Variety

Be That Which Is,

So Be It.

What can we expect from our lifetimes here?

January 19th, 2012

We relish the knowledge that comes forth from these words of wisdom. We thank that which is our Creator within for the clarity and compassion inherent in these communications.

Why are we here? As we complete these lives what constitutes fulfillment and a “good” life?
These questions transcend our day-to-day living. We are looking for meaning within a context in which meaning is not fathomable, in which interpretation of the events of living are subjective and wholly within the domain of the Ego. So, how do we answer these queries? The key answer is that we are here to break through being here. As long as there is something to break through, there is significance in being here and accomplishing. When we look back at our lives from the perspective of age, we notice regrets, lost opportunities and outcomes we would rather not have happened. We can also see accomplishments of all types and sizes. We discover relationships that evolved through our participation. We can claim success in training ourselves to transcend habits and thoughts that were, at times, obstacles to our enjoyment of being here. We, of course, can identify what we might define as failures. Yet, if we are honest with ourselves, we find a clear thread through our lives of growth and deeper insight. The more time we include on our lifeline, the more opportunities there are for this evolution of ourselves. Yet, the time is not essential. As we are each projections of the whole and perfect essence of all Consciousness, our selves only have the opportunity for growth by our delineation of the possibility for change and improvement. By releasing this delineation or truly seeing this process as the means for bringing diversity into the composition of Existence, we can look at life as a perfect thread leading from and to the same place. All lifetimes are “good” lives and are fulfilling to the spirit that inhabits them. There is not a thing that you could choose that will make that “good” any better or any “worse”. Choose that which brings joy to your heart, which raises your inner awareness and which expresses the diversity of your perspective and this lifetime is perceived by You as fulfilling and “good”.

Looking back at a lifetime is an opportunity to revel in the diversity that was created as a result of your presence. Whether this diversity is at the micro or macro level of perception, it is always and forever present through the relationship you have with Existence.

Be Blessed for You Are Perfection, Fulfillment and Goodness. You share this which is You with all of Existence bringing forth opportunities, challenges and experiences that constitute the diversity of Creation.

Live, Love, Prosper and Seek Your Thread of Completion.

So Be It.

A Reading for Our Life (Thanksgiving 2011)

December 12th, 2011

We are joyous in this allowance of knowing that percolates into our state of living. We remember and we surrender to the indelible images we preserve in our experience. We are thankful for the opportunity to observe this process and live in a state of gratitude and forgiveness.

These are words of recognition. Each human lives within an envelope of Consciousness. Each life experience is an illusory figment of the vast and intensely creative Imagination that manifests within this Consciousness. The details of those experiences are the stuff of invention at the level of Universal Creation. Each element is fabricated to fulfill what might be called the “needs” of the essential Consciousness. Further, these elements are meticulously interconnected in cosmic webs of relationships at all levels of existence. Through the interaction of all that is within experience, the Consciousness is complete and in harmony.

We reach a point in each solar cycle when we force ourselves to look back and acknowledge what has “worked” and what has not. Of course, all possibilities are always perfect and exactly what the Consciousness intended. Yet, we of the temporal and existential realm, measure ourselves by what we see in our experience. So, we delve into what brought us to what we see before us. We can simply accept what has unfolded and bask in the beauty and fecundity of what was wrought. Or, we can immerse ourselves in a critical evaluation of the flows and results and inflict various forms of pain on our waiting individuality. Thanksgiving structures this review through the cornucopia of abundance that is exemplified by the food and drink that we create within our bubble. At the core of this day is a demonstration of family, relationship and gratefulness. We have the opportunity to share together our optimism and positive feelings to bring everyone to a higher level of self-awareness. We are granted (by ourselves) the right to bask in the clarity and purposefulness of who we are and what we have manifested within our realm. Through our expressions of gratitude we enliven ourselves and all that surrounds us.
We have intended and created this that we are. We have focused our attention on the details and nurturingly tuned the relationships. Now it is time to bless all that we share with each other and within ourselves. Now is the moment to be Gratitude, an influence of positivism and high spirit spread across this Universe and all Universes – the brilliant luminescence of the Consciousness.

So Be It.

A Study in Existence

October 7th, 2011

We rejoice in the awakening that percolates from within our deepest souls. We are thankful for this opportunity to experience beyond the limits we have placed on our perceptions of this Universe.

To avoid being repetitious, this is not about the Manifested Existence we engage with each day. This essay delves into the infrastructure, the stage/set, upon which all our creations perform their purposes. This structure is, of course, also the result of the creative process. It is the generating equation which we parameterize through our choices and resonance with that which is created.

The most critical component of this infrastructure is the space in which we find ourselves. This is not an empty space. This is an abyss of potential from which any thing can be brought forth. We activate the creative process through our attention. We can only create in domains in which we allow our consciousness to be attentive. All else is non-existent. The space, wrongly called the ether, is an infinitely dense representation of all that is possible. As our attention plays over the possibilities, the density is lightened up, yielding forms that are definable as our creations. Our choices yield character to the creations – whether it be color, sound, even intelligence or beauty. Without even a moment’s reflection, manifestations coalesce and begin interacting with each other and with us. When we gain value from the interactions, we permit the creations to persist and become named. When we derive no value, then the creation is absorbed into the background dense potential. The value discussed in this context is simply that there is a response within who we are to the creation without judgment or evaluation except for the acknowledgement that it has happened.

As we embrace this process, our capacity to create is expanded and our focus becomes ever more refined and targeted at satisfying our intentions. Focus is the key to bringing forth a world, a universe that is in alignment with your highest good with the greatest opportunities to enlighten and be enlightened as you traverse each of your lifetimes whether incarnate or not.

We are so thankful for this knowing and recognize its potential for application. We accept that attunement and drive forward along my life path knowing that all is good and that good is all I need to know.

So Be It.

Words for These Special Days

September 30th, 2011

We are so grateful for this opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to ourselves and our inner knowing. We thank the channel through which we receive this empowerment and enablement. We rejoice in the infinite possibilities that are present before us.

These are days of remembrance and self-acknowledgement. We stop time to review past experience, evaluating the lessons learned and perceiving again the nuances that influenced who we are. We look to our higher selves, our deepest, most glorious inner spirit, sometimes referred to as God or the Almighty, to join in this acknowledgement and make the way clear for what is to come. The past period is closed, experiences recorded and digested, and the full capabilities of the human incarnation are re-energized to be open to the possibilities that flood us each day. We call this process Forgiveness. We engage others who have become a part of our experiential awareness seeking to transform dissonance into harmony and balance. Our separation is reduced, if not eliminated, while we engage in this process. We freshen ourselves and our perceptions. And, then, we re-engage. The true testament to the value of this ritual is the increased self-awareness and self-consciousness. This is very much like a deep cleansing of the spiritual soul that sources our self-expression.

We can choose many ways to participate in this experience. We can join with others in congregational events and prayers. We can focus inward through meditation. We can read, and we can write. We can share our experience with others or choose solitary reflection. We can seek spiritual awakening through all of the tools that we have learned in our lifetimes.

This is both an opportunity and a challenge. The challenge is in each human’s willingness to let go of the emotions and decisions that permeate their past. The challenge is to see in each other the spark of compassion and kindness. The challenge is to step beyond the everyday routine of living and recognize ourselves and each other as vibrantly luminous and powerful entities, each come here to experience their lifetimes to the fullest. Through forgiveness of others and self you enable your inner mind’s eye to the level of consciousness that is that recognition.

The time line of our lives is strewn with such opportunities.

Let us take this one and explore it fully.

Let each day and hour provide the context in which this quest for the sacred can be embraced and furthered.

Let each occasion that beckons us be a resource for the enlightened spirit to burst forth and envelop our daily lives in love, compassion, wisdom and well-being.

So Be It

Overwhelmed with Opportunity

July 8th, 2011

We are thankful for the inspiration and illumination that these works bring forth. We are joyous in the outpouring of Truth and support all to drink of the well of knowing.

What a day! It is so full of opportunity, almost to the point of overwhelming our sense of what is possible. We are still flooded with doubts about who we are and what we have some here to do. It is time to consider that point of view as not fulfilling or useful. It is upon us to step forward into the seething and thunderous ocean and storm that is this lifetime and embrace the peace and stillness of the “eye” which is the “I” within us. The world as we know it is changing, transforming as much from the interaction with our life activities as it is from its own evolution. It matters not whether we have, through our great demands on the Material, brought forth such change. It only matters that the waves of transition are looming before us and we must adapt to a very different way of presenting ourselves in this continuum. We must step into what appears as an unknown, we must call upon skills and capabilities that we have no recent experience of applying, we must trust that our actions will fulfill our and the world’s needs. This is a time for catharsis, when the differences that seem to be polarizing us at an ever increasing rate must be transformed into an alignment of Truth and Compassion, of Oneness and Surrender. There are so many “opportunities” for making this happen that we will be overwhelmed just as you are overwhelmed with the opportunities that present themselves to you right now.

How should any human proceed at this point? At the leading edge of our experience are our intention and our attention. As long as these are aligned and focused on riding the waves of change that stream around us, we will find that we are pulled along as the presence of who we are wells up and inundates the Illusion in which we have found ourselves. Those who hang on to the structures of the past and present will find their sturdy anchors undermined. They will be pulled along in any case, yet their frame of mind will be rooted in fear and they will miss the grand epiphany that appears and envelops the world. Through missing this awakening and illumination, they will be stuck in an Illusion that gets progressively more and more painful. They will choose to release their incarnate forms rather than continue to be subjected to this fate. Those who stayed in a consciousness of surrender and allowance find an every expanding Garden of Eden, full of new insights, new experiences, and refreshing sustenance at all levels of being. We will have come full circle back to where we came from with the new appreciation for what we have based on the experiences we have encountered along the way.

This day, rejoice in the diversity that surrounds you and the continuously blossoming expression of Life in which we choose to play. Allow your eyes to always remain open, your ears at the readiness for each resonant vibration, your taste and smell prepared for unique essences, and your touch prepared for whatever might impinge on your body’s form. This is the time for you to actively know this world, for you to be ready for whatever might suddenly loom before you. Let it come, let it be exactly what you know makes the most significant importance in your next step of living in this World.

So Be It.
