Listen to Your Body

Listen to your body, as it is always communicating with you what is directly occurring.

Today simplify what you intake through your senses such as the foods you eat, and the sounds and songs that you listen to, and also the images you view and this calmness within will then amplify the voice of the heart. Because when we follow the heart we are not just mere mortals, we are Eternal.

Love is not created, it is an eternal resonance of the one recognizing itself in creation. So keep opening to the One through gratitude for all and realize the love we now ARE. ♥

Your direct experience is your reality.

Your direct experience is your reality. So many mind-fantasies now abound that we forget our eternity and take vaccines for illusory and profitable dis-eases. And unless we are SELF-grounded these fantasies then pull intensely at our moorings, agitating the seas of relativity upon which we sail and we suffer. The body is in eternal dialogue so listen; for if the body does not resonate then the message is not real.

When we open to all being one, we now are the body and we are also more. And so aches, fevers, stiffness, chills, and more are all communications from and "to" ourselves from the one love that we are. We do not go crazy trying to understand every nuance, we just pay attention and this is enough. Again it is not about good and bad, it is about having more awareness. I have written about this in my first book: “From Suffering to Soaring”, and there is much more that will be shared in my next book "Realizing Our Beloved."

The point is that we are the body and we are more and so all that our body shares with us is like information "across" a bridge to us from the greater us, bypassing the mind. Being aware of our body is like checking our email from the ONE, and so we need to check our heart in-box.

It is our feelings that are less thought-driven and so they are the "clearest" way of interaction with SELF. What I have realized that it is not the dimensions of my mind that hold the key, but what I can currently taste, see, smell, touch, etc… which are my direct body experience. I can imagine infinity, yes, but why? As I AM Eternity and I only need to continue to listen and open up to the glory that we ARE. It is a slippery slope, but when we have a need to create a GOD we are now believing that we are less than whole (or holy), and so we journey into the hall of life and death mirrors, ad infinitum.

transcending time to realize the present

Life is, no matter what we think. We may conjure infinite ideas, concepts, beliefs, analogies, hierarchies, religions, societies, and more explaining what life is and yet life is still more; for life is the ineffable experience of existing.

Realize that life is not a game to eventually define and tie down, it is an evolving expression of love to surrender to. In that when we cling to our current "tools" we are then also clinging to our past ideas of life, and the only past that exists is the artificial past that we overlay onto the present. Let me explain.

Life is an eternal flowering experience of wonder and awe that is timeless and free. And concerning time, there is no real future or past other than the those we create. The future is only a projected possibility that may or may not occur and therein is the illusion as we now tend to consciously reside in and even modify and employ this possible future when in reality it does not even exist. And there is also no past as the past is only a group of thoughts that we label as memory now created to justify our current limited and time-driven consciousness.

When we are in war we remember the strategies that support our campaign and not those memories that reveal the futility and so the illusion of time perpetuates. This is how we may never realize the present as we are continually overlaying our ideas of the past and the future onto the present moment. In reality the future and the past are always the present, though we distort and warp this awareness by filtering the NOW through our mind's illusory timeline. This is what creates the illusion of time because everything is really happening now.

What occurs is that we attempt to remember (or recreate) the past, and this "traveling" through our mind (or consciousness) shifts our awareness from the Now into our idea of the past. This is analogous to being on a ship on rough seas in a heavy storm and attempting to follow a distant light on the shore. Accuracy is not possible as the rising and falling of the waves is also lifting and lowering the ship "and" the source of the light. We have projected a geometric point back deep into the recess of our mind and like the light the point is veiled and distorted by our storms of thoughts and so we do not have an accurate "past". We also then through not realizing the wholeness of life hope and dream for a time in the possible future and this is then another projected point, but now "forward". We then attach these two points in our mind and a line is created. What is astounding is that we then "walk" along this imaginary timeline like an acrobat on a tightrope not realizing that it is all an illusion. This is how we may live our entire lives in our mind and never experience the present moment. We are so busy fighting our storms and supporting our tight-wires by staying aware of the past and the future that the Now is not experienced. We are also petrified that we may fall, but this is not real as we would only be falling in our mind.

If we do not pause long enough to be aware of more than our mind we then live in fear of falling from an imaginary height. Do you we see how this works?

Today we are here now in THIS the one true moment. Let us learn from the wisdom of our current energetic scenario that when we place too much of our attention on what was or what may be we are then not present; we are walking on the imaginary tightrope.

We do not need to remember anything, as the present moment is built upon life and reveals all that we now need. When we forget the roots does the tree topple? No. If we forget our childhood do we now disappear? No. We are here and life has retained all that we need as we are MORE than time. We also do not need to remember those that suffered or those that may suffer because people are here suffering NOW, despite what may have occurred or what might happen. Again, this propensity to project and constrict our awareness is not "right" or "wrong" it is a mechanic of consciousness which creates the illusion of separation.

Where we are aware, there we ARE.

Let us open our hearts to the understanding that all that we experience is a gift, and that this holy and timeless gift is realized through reverence for our life and through our surrender to the grander elements of the design that we are not aware of. It is through a continual surrender that we realize that all is provided no matter the time. When we stop trying to "fix" things, (when we surrender our tools) we now realize the glory that is. This is impossible for the mind to grasp as the mind experiences life through measure and duality so we need to realize more than mind.

Just as those on the battle field do not have the perspective of those not in battle so do those in time not realize the timelessness of love. To transcend the "duality battle" let us pause by any means we resonate, and in that pause we will realize being more than time.

It is the slightest of shifts when we let the "future" and the "past" be, but oh so integral to the realization of the one that we are.

An Open Door to More

Everywhere we ARE we are MORE and love then IS. Let us not enter the war but be a shining doorway for more-than-war in our knowing. What the world "needs" now is love, and as love we guide them home from the mind of matter. When we are the greater love, in our expression we now support none more than the other and thus the limited systems naturally dissolve and transmute into larger and more encompassing fractal harmonics of grace. And subsequently, the seeming separate systems are not being "fed" (or empowered) by our individual energetic awareness and so are revealed as being valuable and integral to the larger patterns of holy perfection.

The Bloom of Life

In a fertile soil of surrender, gratitude, and humility the heart blooms and in stillness the angels of light arrive and pollinate our soul.

Be at peace my love as we are exactly where we are by a greater design; for at one day life is our favorite sport, then a favorite band, then a great job, then a religion, then a spiritual teaching, and then still these "things" are not enough and so we seek within for our answers as we are being "called" home to the ONE we ARE. We see that there is no "right" or "wrong" to life for we are all ascending (or evolving) in our awareness as this is the WAY.

A favorite band to a teen IS their life and love and solace and understanding, so can we truly say that their relationship with this band is "wrong"? No. At that moment it is perfect because that is what it IS and so this is LIFE. Is it not futile to attempt to teach "advanced logic" to a five year old? Yes, and this again is not judgment, it is recognizing and responding to a unique "level" of awareness from a stance of love. So we are to let "others" play at their "level" of understanding and when they ask of us, we listen and respond in and AS love.

We may examine it this way: the mother shares just enough knowledge with the child for the child to know how to safely play in its surroundings and then off the child runs into the mystery. When the child falls down and hurts itself there is no judgment from the mother, there is only love. The physical mother and the mother within our heart then heals the child, shares more wisdom so that they may not fall down again, and off the child goes again out to play and such is life! <3


Concerning our awareness, If we plugged a lamp directly into a power-station's main source it would instantly explode yes? and this analogous to our "souls" as well.

We are re-realizing ourselves as the ONE through a light-gradient-staircase lest we would lose all sense of ourselves and explode into and "as" GOD.

We can think of this energetically in that with each new realization we experience we then expand proportionately in our awareness, though still balanced and retaining our sense of identity. If we just directly "stood before God" we would not exist, this is not a mystery. If we placed a lit candle in room illuminated by 1,000,000 lamps would we still see the glow of the single candle light? No. In fact, would we even see ourselves? No, we would only see ONE light. Our "individual" identity would not exist as only the ONE light would; only God would, and then the ego's journey would abruptly be over as would also the ineffable gift of traveling HOME to the Glory that IS.

Love created creation so it had more it could love <3

So relax and know that ALL is perfect. LIFE knows what it is doing. Life is only less (or wrong) when we "think" this.

Let us enjoy all that we experience, no matter what we "think" of it and we are now free in love. ♥

Let us humbly learn and unlearn and we will then continually bloom in our beloved. ♥

Every Moment is Divine

Every moment is divine, it is just that we THINK that this is not so. Let us realize that there is only ONE divine moment and that it is the architecture of one's consciousness that determines one's relationship with the one moment.

We can envision this as a ray of light descending and that within the ray of ONE are infinite potentials of gradient created by the mind. This IS a divine and "inspired" light of oneness, and yet this oneness is veiled when we think of any aspect of our experience as being less than whole, or when we "ask" and then "receive" a gradient of lesser experience.

We ARE creating our experience as our relationship with the world is revealing the state of our mind to us.

A "person" may be "inspired" to walk up and talk with someone and it is how they perceive this "inspiration" that determines the relationship they will have with themselves and with others.

They may "think" that it is the voice of an angel that inspires them and now they are dreaming in mythology. Or, that it is some guru speaking and now they are dreaming in lineage, or whatever they may imagine the inspiration to be.

We see how the ONE divine inspiration is being fractured by the past and future gradients and how this illusion is a loop that is to be transcended. By simply owning the "inspired" thought, letting it dance away like a falling leaf, we then know our wholeness in all relationships.

Fractures do just what they say, they fracture the ONE into many, and herein is the color pallet of the dream.

Blood for OUR soil

We suffer when our peace is reliant upon an ephemeral quality of nature and not Self-realized. And as what was creating our peace naturally transmutes, our "idea" of peace transmutes and we suffer through this attachment. Change is integral,... and "paradoxically" this acceptance of change is peace. Embrace what now IS and all suffering ends; for each fallen bloom is the blood for our soil ♥

A Holy family here awakening
Because of love this song we sing


We are the music, glorious harmony
We are the instruments sounding Love’s symphony
For all eternity, may love and light we bring
Because of love this song we sing


We are becoming all that we are

The Immediacy of Now

We do not accept or deny any "thing" as when we do we are making these decisions based upon the past. If we do not remember the roots will the tree topple? No. Just as are our limbs grow of their own volition so do the roots of the tree. Through fallacy the ego judges and compares. When we observe our direct experience equally there is no mind or choices to make only the immediacy of life to respond to.

Being Love Now

Now is our enlightenment. Now is 2012. Now is our revolution. Now is revelation. Now is Armageddon. Now is prophecy. Now is our realization. Now is stillness. Be free of all ego created misunderstanding and be love being love now. ♥

Cherish each breath;

for like Angels

they illumine

the majesty of God.

Let us remain as mindful as we are able
during the dance
so as to remain the balanced observer
no matter what nature's choice.

Opening Through Gratitude

Today; Now; let us flow from Hope, through Faith, and into Gratitude.

In this way we do not impede the flow of that which embraces,

and we then realize the love that IS.

Embracing The Waves of Change

The only thing that is wrong is what we think is wrong.

Today is a great and glorious day to BE.

Let us unclench our tightened bodies and hearts in the knowing that all is perfect.

Let us realize that there are larger relationships of nature that we are unaware of that are for our benefit.

Let us realize that nature is ephemeral and an eternal dance of change, and that we are a part of nature and its changing and transmuting dance.

Nature is within us.

Our birthing and dying cells are the birthing and dying leaves, and clouds, and waves, and lifeforms. All is interconnected and interrelated.

There is only ONE.

During shifts of energy when larger cosmic waves reach the shore, such as with today's economic and collective conscious-shift into a more conscious institution of government and commerce, there are affects. The former shoreline of consciousness is reshaped as the waves arrive. If the waves of change are powerful, such as with these prophetic times of expansion, then an entire beach of understanding may be washed away; including the teachings and accepted knowledge that was on or dependent of it.

But there is more sand, plants, stones, homes, employment, cities, societies, races transmuting, and also more eternally approaching waves.

We are to remind ourselves that we are dancing, and that nothing is guaranteed other than the experience. In this was way we are free to shift and flow with the cosmic love-waves of nature.

No thing is wrong or right.

It will benefit us all to release and transcend the old paradigms of beliefs, concepts, and thoughts to then open up to the more that is occurring NOW.

We are infinite love. We are not meant to find one road and stay on it. We are explorers, and this includes our professions we are currently ingrained in.

Take this moment to reevaluate who you are and what brings you joy. What do you like to do?

Do it.



It may seem simple but create a list of 5 things that make your heart smile. What I mean is what are the situations you are a part of that touch who you are. This may be time with animals, nature, helping the older or younger generations, painting, connecting people, music, etc.

You will find that what brings us peace is creativity, learning, and compassion.

Look at your previous job or the job you have recently lost and really analyze it. Discover what you liked about it, if you truly liked anything at all and let these qualities point you towards a fulfilling career and life.

What will become of professions and people when money is less relevant and jobs do not define the person but their character?

Will we then work and live in ways that benefit our hearts and not our wallets? Yes, and these days are upon us.

The waves are arriving.

These cosmic waves are crashing upon our stagnant societies and our concrete mind-sets to assist us in our expansion. Remember, all is ONE so we are asking for this change.

That which does not flow will be broken down by nature, and this includes leaves, cities, and worlds.

Nature teaches us this in examples such as through wind erosion and water carving through stone.

Nothing, not even mountains are eternal.

No thing is eternal but US: GOD: that which embraces and of which we are integral.

We are free when we detach from things.

This evolution is happening for our benefit so let our experience continue unbridled.

We are on an eternal ride of Splendor and AWE.

Look out at the night sky and realize how much more there is to experience. How do we do this? We do this through the continual surrender of what we think is true. Then we open up for more Holy (wholly) experience.

We are not required to worship. We become more than worship through relinquishing things, including idols or symbols of worship.

When we worship things we are worshiping the Golden Calf.

We have then separated a piece of eternity from eternity and in this process separated our infinite selves from the eternity that we are. This again is not right or wrong or a law created by a mythical God, this is logic.

All is one so all needs to be embraced to realize this oneness.

Let us now resonate and become that which we have been worshiping.

We are MORE than societies, planets, (including their limited, and evolving teachings) or money.

We are LOVE.

We are Pure Consciousness.

We are the body of GOD eternally observing and learning more of the majesty that we ARE.

Let go and be at peace my love.

Balancing Our Realtionship with Money

Our relationship with money is balanced in how we perceive, as it is with all "things".

Are we realizing happiness from money or is money a part of our experience with no more importance than any other thing? These are questions to observe within our consciousness.

Our belief is what makes us "think" that money or any "thing" has precedence over the other; but we are more than things (including money), and this knowing illuminates the world.

As we deepen into our joy the details fall away and organize themselves.

Money does not just magically show up. There are energetic relationships at work.

When we love who we are and what we are doing we do not over-think the situation and we continue flowing in prosperity of heart as we are humans "being".

We make calls, connections, Facebook profiles, creations, etc..., and these coalesce and "create" money, but freely, as we are not attached to the outcome.

We are then free and will enjoy all experience, be it from a palace or a tent.

Today is a great gift in that it creates an inward reevaluation of who we are.

The Holy Overtones

Harmony is a key to Heaven.

What is harmony? What does harmony really mean and what is occurring? How does harmony exist and conversely, what is distortion?

Harmony is resonance with the wholeness that IS.

Harmony may only be harmonic in it relation to the oneness upon which it is relating. Distortion then exists as a variance of harmony less it would not be distorted, just as our ideas of being separate could not be without wholeness to compare to.

Harmony is the “sudden” realization that we are a part of a “larger” relationship realized through hearing or feeling more. We realize that we are a part of a larger harmony (or family) of vibration experienced through our music; through consciousness.

An interesting observation is that when we harmonize, say by playing three notes (a chord) simultaneously within a musical scale on a piano, more than three vibrations are heard, or sound, or vibrate, or resonate. We are familiar with this understanding of sympathetic resonance through Physics, but let us look at this another way.

What we are experiencing are the overtones, “The Holy Overtones.”

The chord (or harmony) we strike (or sound) “calls” out to the notes within the "other" octaves (or heavens, angel choirs, dimensions, etc.), and we experience more. We may only strike (or play) one note, middle “C” for example and when we listen closely (or observe) we hear lower and higher versions of the note, or harmonies within the “C” chord. This is how sound and harmonies reveal Heaven, or the “more” that we “are”.

We are energy which experiences life through the senses as vibration, or waves of sound and light. Overtones are “higher” or expanded glimpses of organized families of harmonies of which we are a part and are integral.

The interconnectedness of wholeness is revealed through the “mysterious” language of music (vibration) that occurs with the playing of one note, or one heart.

When one note plays all notes (or strings, or beings) vibrate to a certain degree (or frequency) and it is the harmonic relationships which determines the vibration sounded, or how the strings resonate: "the celestial music of the spheres".

Harmonics and overtones are the doorways and windows into the "more" that we "are".

The Synergy of the Seeds

Through our presence harmony is realized.

In transcending the ego's habitual desire to debate over our culturally-created colors we expand into more, thus rising above and unifying the seeds of love at the heart of all religions.

Let us realize each seed so to then adorn GOD: "That which embraces and of which we are integral" with a magnificent Mala of our eternal devotion and gratitude.

Realizing the Mirrors

Do we exist?

Can we deepen into the analysis of experiencing each other vibrationally through our current understanding of light so as to "taste" pure consciousness? Well, let's find out through this simple "peek" into the relationship of mirrors.

As we have realized, what we experience as our life is our current psychology; or our consciousness. What is interior is exterior. All is mind. We realize also this includes what we currently label as "human beings". So if we are only experiencing our consciousness then what and who are all these people and how do they exist?

Every experience no "matter" the matter, or what the "thing" is, IS a mirror. Each "thing" is reflecting the other "thing" until we "think" that there is more than One here. What is occurring is ONE is being reflected and refracted through a psychology of mirrors.

Each person walks around through their mind; their beliefs; their definitions. Ultimately these "things" are unique to each "individual" and to another these beliefs and definitions are not the same. These are reflected versions of wholeness. There is only "one", so at the core, these differences are not real they are illusion. They are the language of the mirrors. They "are" mirrors reflecting the "seemingly" fragmented pure consciousness that IS; that we "are".


So, then do we exist, or does only the illusion exist?

Both, in that there is only one pure consciousness which we "are" and then there is the refracted consciousness of (and in) evolution that has "forgotten".

This is the dream.

How we step out of the dream is to realize that we are more than any "thing" we dream. We open up to "all that we are" through the surrender of our evolving consciousness, or our limited understanding. We realize that each label or new definition is truly another reflection born of a mirror in the mind. As we release or realize that these are limited attachments (or limited reflections of light), less and less mirrors now exist. Subsequently less and less reflections or refractions of light or the fractured word of GOD exists and we realize more and more of the singularity we are. We become one through less refraction.

It is the subtraction of additional reflections (or mirrors) which unifies.


There is no more mystery. When we are not attached to limiting beliefs, labels, definitions, etc., then the reflections are not created, and what is left?

Source

Realizing the Shepherd

We are an "individualized" energetically-derived human "being" that experiences life through limiting layers and filters within our consciousness which create the illusion of separateness.

We are a piece of eternal peace realizing the GOD it IS, that we "are".

This is the ultimate gift for oneness to "offer"; to re-realize and re-experience becoming oneness.



We "each" are a song that is eternally harmonizing with the grander symphonic resonance of love.

We expand when we fully embrace ourselves at each moment, opening to more as a flower to the Sun (or son).


As we embrace ourselves, accepting all that has occurred with grace and gratitude,
we "gather" the sheep (or our flock) of horizontal experiences and realize the Now.

We are merging with our learning and evolving personality, the ego: our limited idea of Self.

We are the Shepherd gathering the fragments of ourselves home.

There is only one shepherd and we are "that".

We are each "Jesus". Today let this truth sink in. We are not required to worship, only realize the "more that we are" through parable, sign, or symbol. These are pointers pointing us "back" to ourselves within the "dream". The paradox is that great beings have awoken and realized the "one", and instead of realizing ourselves as the "one" through their "example", we attach and fragment even more through our worship and fantasies of mind. We become the sheep.

There is no right or wrong, only growth, and now through this information we grow from being only sheep to also the shepherd.

Upon the realization of the moment (the now, not the fantasy time-line) we are aligned vertically with "all that we are". When aligned and harmonized with and as our "unique" song; our lives; our vibration architecture, we then become a "part" of larger or more expanded consciousness as we travel "home" to oneness.

There is no mystery. If we are in a "distorted" consciousness we are then attracted or in enharmonic harmony with other distorted consciousness (strings) of experience.

But, when we accept our current lives fully we energetically harmonize, and through this harmony we resonate and "join" more expanded harmonies of GOD. We realize the Holy Overtones.

As we remain balanced we expand balanced into more of the wholeness we "are".

When one feels "stuck" or is seeking peace through material forms it is due to an imbalance within the consciousnesses (a disharmony of limiting attachment) which is reflecting the distortion or imbalanced "life" back to them in their mirror of experience. They are currently experiencing their experience as a fragment; as a sheep.

The way to "be" the Shepherd; the "more", is through self-love.

Self-love is the tuning-fork of grace.

Self-love realigns one to one's vertical experience.

Self-love reshapes and balances the sphere of one's experience.

Self-love re-introduces the Shepherd.

Self-love harmonizes our current distorted understandings, and then we harmonize and become more expanded relationships of GOD; love; etc.

Realizing we are the Shepherd aligns us with the "vertical" aspect of experience and we continue flowing and growing in our knowing.

Understanding that we are the child "and' the parent; the sheep and the Shepherd, we recognize our attachments and fragmented aspects of ourselves (our ego) and re-harmonize eternally as we "become" more of "all that we are".

Part 2: An Expanded View of Intention and Inspiration

After another wonderful sharing with my dear friend, "we" realized that semantics were the "issue" in our expressing ourselves to each other; to ourselves concerning "intention" and "inspiration". Deepening into analysis we realized our union of knowing.

There are two ways to approach this "seeming" difference of knowing concerning intention and inspiration. I am now inspired to illuminate the role of semantics and the "benefit" of each understanding within matter. This elucidates how "we" could experience and uniquely interpret within our psychologies the same "thing" from an expanded knowing.


Creation is an existing oneness. Words are vibrations within this oneness, and when uttered, sound becomes. Waves are birthed in a sea of energy. But a deeper way to know this mechanic is that words are not created. We are "striking" an existing light frequency (tone) at quantum "levels" which then sympathetically resonates the word as vibration, and we then express it.

We are instruments sounding GOD's symphony.

All already exists in a sea of potentials. It is our attenuation that creates the experience, and this includes how we express ourselves. It is where our attention IS that then "creates" the experience. Concerning vibration it is the amount of "others" who resonate with this light frequency that then "creates" the affect (or amplitude) of the vibrational wave experienced in the oneness of forms.

There are two ways to approach this.

One way is to realize that a word (or frequency of light) is enmeshed with and attached to by so many people (egos:limited ideas of Self) that when the word resonates its affect is great, like that of a large wave on the ocean. These collections of "souls" have gathered like entangled kelp that sway and are affected by the dancing ocean. They are attached through the etymology and history of the word. They have awareness IN this word. Each word has a legacy and life unto itself that is relevant within matter and to "those" that are attached to it.

What we say does matter to matter.

So, we may either elevate the word into a new understanding, such as in the case of how my friend "knows" intention. He does not know it as attachment or suffering as many do. He has realized a transcended "state" of the word's light frequency, and this makes sense as to his perception. All "things" flower out of formlessness, including words.

Or, we may utilize an existing word that is already considered elevated (at a higher frequency, or of purer light with less attachment), such as "inspiration" to assist those in transcending the attachments to the previous word's history, such as with "intention".

These are both viable and realized expressions of love and explains how two may realize them uniquely.

Blessings.

Transcending Intention to Realize Inspiration

I met and chatted with an amazing human being tonight and through our conversation I am inspired to illumine "intention". This meeting was a unique and lovely experience in that we two are very similar in understanding.

We spoke harmoniously and passionately about what we know and what we have experienced when an interesting situation occurred.


As we were sharing what I call a "blue-green, green-blue" moment occurred. I experienced our oneness individualized through our unique energetic forms.

This person began to share their idea of intending, or intention when being in matter, or within the world of forms and I could "feel" the power of this belief of intention as it was being stated, and restated. They said that "We intend to create." There is validity in intending and "teaching" intentions for one to realize the power (and more) that we are, but there is more.

I sensed (felt) an attachment to "intention" so I offered an expanded perspective (beyond intention) through the analogy of "being". When we are in our joy we intend no "thing"; for we "are" all things and more, and thus do not desire things but through inspiration employ them. But as we continued I sensed that what I was sharing was not perceived the same by this beautiful new friend and our conversation slightly fragmented. So interesting and self-illuminating when this occurs. I did not define this person. The limited energy that resonated within my consciousness revealed more to share.

I am now inspired to offer an expanded view for transcending intention.

Though it is very subtle, intention is a form of of suffering. Intention needs some "thing" to occur to justify and satisfy the intention else there is suffering. One will continue intending until the intention is met, and what if this never occurs? They will then suffer when the intended "thing" does not manifest. This is not peace. There may be states of peace, but not realized peace through "being".

Intention implies a duality within one's consciousness. One was something and then intended to be another. One was in one state and intends to know another. There is an "on" and "off" to intention. There is a more or less with intention. Intention is a polarity; but we are more than polarity.

So, is there another way to look at intention to transcend suffering? Yes, and it is through the surrender of "thinking" of what to do, or thinking what should be done (intending), and "being".

"Being" is wholeness.

"Being" is now.

We do not think about how to be, we "are". One does not intend, they flow in inspiration. We can point to wholeness as being a river flowing in now; the living word, the logos, etc. As we are "being" we are not intending to do any"thing", we are flowing in our doing. We are "being" the river.

We are inspiration being inspired.

It is subtle and may seem semantic but realizing inspiration is powerful. We then are inspired and utilizing the mind as a tool, and not being used by the mind or the ego. We are then free. We do not need to do any"thing" but deepen into the moment; into our joy knowing that our knowing is who we are "being". Of course we may do many of the same things we had been doing and intending to do but from a freer and clearer vantage. Who we are is then eternally free to express and be through "being" and not thinking. We are not limited by intention.

We are limitless through inspired being.

Thinking (or intending) is working within a set base of knowledge when inspiration is the rain of potentials pouring through us into creation.

Thinking is limited in scope compared to the infinity of inspiration. Let us realize and transcend the need to intend by opening our understanding to there is more than intention.

In "being" we naturally follow our bliss like the flowers following the Sun.

Let us continue to observe our lives meditatively, and through this non-attached expanded state of awareness we become the love that we are. We deepen into our inspired flow; into "being". We absolve energetic attachments and realize the pure consciousness that IS.

Un-Knowing Spirituality to Know the Present

There are many beliefs and concepts concerning "enlightenment" and "spirituality" that may be transcended for one to be here now. Let us realize that every one's "path" is unique and valuable. There are no mandatory requirements when it comes to realization.

One could say that the only "requirement" is to know thy self.

There are mysterious beings and their attractive journeys but let us ground into our lives. We are all on a beautiful path. We each have all the tools provided to realize GOD. We are each born through unique design and circumstance ensuring our "awakening"; our realization. Seeing that we are expanding into more, the love (the more) we are expanding into has our best interest at heart; love knows, and has provided. We all have our relationship with GOD, the formless, pure consciousness, etc. There is no "right or wrong", only growth, and this includes growing in understanding within what we call "spirituality".

Today there are many who are deeply ingrained in a "traditional" spiritual way and this is perfect. But each individual no matter what road they trod will at some point release all ideas of a path (including traditional, new, and "accepted") paths and embrace themselves: the One. They realize the One.

We may emulate and worship up unto a certain "point" within our understanding along our journey. But at one moment we naturally surrender every"thing", realizing the "more". This renouncement includes trends, our history, the possible future, our dreams, and all that we worship.

We know the one glorious GOD of Now: The GOD present in presence through relinquishing "things" (material attachments). We realize "more" than things.


Through our wisdom may we use our intelligence not only to discern "truth" but also to discern what we "think" is the truth? Truth is not a thought no matter how amazing or spiritual, it is being; a state of now; the river of today.

We may hypothesize and philosophize about truth but "truth" is beyond. Let us remain aware of this "beyond" so we remain grounded and flow no matter what our musings. We are here, "and" beyond. There are ways to adopt and practice but it is what we are thinking in-between that is paramount and revealing our consciousness.

Someone recently said this to me, or to this effect, "Seeing you have it 'all' figured out why are you still concerned with me?" First, I do not have it "all" figured out and second we can realize this question is the voice of the learning ego: the limited idea of self. The ego "thinks" it understands spirituality and realization by comparisons and measures. But the ego will never know realization seeing realization is realizing "more" than the ego. Realization is the transmutation of the ego.

The caterpillar may dream of what it is like to be the butterfly. But until it is a butterfly, until it realizes the butterfly it will only be a caterpillar thinking about butterflies. It will be a "spiritual" caterpillar that "thinks" it is a butterfly. It will not know the truth in being a butterfly. The ego is like the caterpillar. It thinks it knows the truth but has only attached to reflections of the truth, or reflections of what it would be like to be a butterfly.

I told this person that I have not changed, that I have expanded. The caterpillar still exists within the oneness of the butterfly, and so do the i's within the I AM. The caterpillar does not disappear it transmutes. I said "I am here and I still love everyone as I always have." What I was implying was to be here now with me not within fantasy.

Let us be mindful of our thinking of what it means to be enlightened. When we fully live we are present, and through presence we realize.

Realization is beyond all that we know - all knowledge.

Realization is experiential, and experience occurs now, always. One does not think, they know, or as I like to say "they un-know."

We are pure consciousness that contains any and all things, including beliefs and concepts about spirituality. Thoughts are "born" out of All That We Are. It is knowledge, or the destruction of knowledge that enlightens or awakens one to the realization that they are, have been, and will always be pure consciousness.

Let us be mindful of our propensity to limit ourselves through information and teachings. Teaching, true teaching is un-knowing. It is resonating with the wholeness of another that IS. We evolve (or learn) new information to un-know what we have currently acquired, or attached to, and this continues until the momentum of unknowing illumines home.

We are evolving our intelligence to understand what to next un-learn.

CD: Song Two Lyrics - "Let the Circle Expand"

CD "Songs for the Wind" available soon.

I am inspired to share the lyrics,
blog by blog. This is song two of 12.










This is a song of centering and empowerment.
This song is a potential World Movement and tour theme.

As we experience our lives and the world we become overwhelmed with the large "problems" and issues occurring. We feel small and helpless. We think "What can I do to help? I am just an average person in a small town just trying to pay my bills and survive." and we are overwhelmed. The problem arises when we are so overwhelmed by the larger and distant happenings of which we do not directly affect that we become imbalanced in our daily lives.

This song grounds the listener into the value of their own experience and places them in a space of gratitude. It shares that it is the little things that we do in our "individual" lives that affect and are a part of the whole movement of creation.

If one planet veers the Universe is affected.

This song is a visual analogy using circles to represent one's influence. When we observe a war we lose our center because our center has then "moved" from our life off to some distant fighting land. We become imbalanced by the stress and disconnection that we feel when observing something as big and this "seemingly' out of control. When we are worried about these larger issues and not grounded into our own immediate life we suffer, we are in fantasy.

But, when we realize that helping our family, our neighbors, and ourselves is integral to the whole we become centered and empowered. We realize the power in being present within our "ordinary" life. We find joy in being our circle; and when we balance and center, our circle naturally expands and joins with other balanced circles. These incremental steps of circles joining is how true momentum of life happens. This song shares that when we are grounded and thankful, the "seeming" separateness that we feel is "healed" as the circles join to consciously become one circle of being: GOD, so Let the Circle Expand.



As we walk through this world together or alone
We are continually shown what seeks GOD’s grace
And through our giving, our creations, or the smile on our face
Let our hearts radiate like the Sun

Feed our starving children
Teach those struggling with disease
that with God anything is possible
when we give our life to love

Peace is not complacency, it affords powerful clarity
That reveals the world and the majesty that IS

Let the circle expand forever
Shining our light eternally for every country, every nation
All of our creed throughout creation
We’ll resolve the conflict and heal the land
So let the circle expand

It’s not the trend or the scale of the action that we take
Let us follow our compassion where it leads
It may be prayer or meditation or assisting another’s needs
We are each a vital part of the ONE

Shine a light into the darkness
So that all may experience the joy
That with love anything is achievable
When we open to our possibility

Isolation is absolved, with the breath of GOD all is resolved
Then we see the glory shining in our eyes

Let the circle expand, forever
A beacon of truth that is calling out to every person, of every, color
No matter how they choose to love each other
The greater design we will understand
Let the Circle Expand

CD: Song One Lyrics - "One Deer, One Dove"

CD "Songs for the Wind" available soon. Song samples at http://www.richardschooping.com. I am inspired to share the lyrics,
blog by blog. This is song one of 12.






What is this song about? Well first, how do I write music? When I create, the closest semantic I can use is that the process is multidimensional. As I write songs I seem to become the space of that song. I can say this is similar to painting; but holographic, with sounds, colors, shapes, words, topics, people, etc. Cal says that I continually talk with "myself" when I am creating music, but I am not aware of this.

It is so interesting that while I am writing songs I am more than just me sitting playing a keyboard and programming instruments. I am every instrument and every musician, and each has their own personality and style. It is hard to explain, though I am sure many experience writing music this way. When I am for instance writing, within my "space" or head (not really visual) the scene IS, the song is. If I am writing a cello line I am somehow working directly with a cellist (though I am also that cellist), and "we" are in an environment (a studio, or on a stage) and working together. This is the case with every song. I am either working "with" the musicians directly or the song is a scene playing out in my head; like I am watching it happen and trying to keep up by taking (writing) notes like a reporter. Yes, it feels I am just observing and documenting the notes and colors as fast as I able because when I am deep in one song I still hear other songs "waiting" to "come in from some dimensional space within my head. And as I am writing choir members are coming and going, someone brings in taco bell, feedback screeches; I mean it is a full-on scene.

Another thing is that each phrase or melody also has a "world" within or of it. How do I explain this (though it is irrelevant but fun to attempt) so that one will know what I mean? Let us say I am writing the intro bars to a verse and it is comprised of piano, percussion, and violins. Well, as I am in that space of "creating" I may be flying (about 10' feet from the ground) above a rocky wave-lapped shoreline through the eye of a bird. Or, I am with the three musicians on an old rickety wooden stage in an opera house (crowd and all), or we are wind-caressed playing at a fog-engulfed edge of a cliff, etc. Every melody, phrase, or rest is like this. Each has an associated "thing" with it. There are worlds associated with each song like a movie. That was interesting to put into words.

So, concerning "One Deer, One Dove" I do not remember the movie or the exact process, but as you listen to the words you can imagine the scenes playing out and being woven. This song has a "personal" and experiential arc with a Universal theme. This song explains my experience of "feeling" more of myself and of being more than I had been. The personal arc of story is that there is a presence that becomes known when we "expand" that is more than a feeling, it is US. "Raining down through my soul..." is as clear as I can express it in this song. I am pointing to this presence that we are with the imagery. The second Universal theme is that we do not have to be ineffectual to be spiritual. We are the grace of the dove and the power, alertness, and agility of the deer. So many now are "thinking" spiritual, and not being whole. Wholeness contains All, and this includes the qualities of surrender and knowing.




I close my eyes, and I drift into silence
Through the doorway of the heart on an ocean of love

And there we are giving comfort and solace

Raining down through my soul unlike ever before

I had been suffering, wandering for so long (for so long)
Fearful of everything until we washed me in our song


We are one heart, we are one love (one love, one love)
We are one race, we are one joy (one joy, one joy)
We are one deer, we are one dove (one dove, a beautiful dove)
We are one world, we are one voice


And now I'm here experiencing glory
Celebrating these senses born of flesh as human
And still I grow amazed at how loving GOD is
I'm humbled by this gift of life, our divinity, our plan


I had been struggling, trying to fit into this place (trying to fit into this space)
Loosing the battle with my disease until we held me in our embrace

Chorus

Let us show kindness, be giving, and meek
But being holy isn't ineffectual or weak

We are the mightiest power and we are so much more
Let us not think about how to be spiritual and then we soar

And through the unity of the dear and the dove
We become a living symbol of GOD's love

We are one now
We are one now
We are one heart, one love

We are here Now
