Be Here Now
Everything’s because of you and the things you do, my beloved
Yeah everything is flowing fine as we dance beyond rhyme, my beloved
You calmed the storm inside of me and now I’m free, my beloved
So now I let the battle go and watch you run the show, my beloved
All I want to do is sing of the joy you bring, my beloved
Praying that these songs awaken those who feel forsaken, my beloved
Sisters, surrender all the judgment and the blame
Brothers, surrender all your stories and your shame
Lovers, surrender the demons that you’re trying to tame
And be here now
Every day I feel your grace as it fills this space, my beloved
I opened up my soul to you and how the love exploded through, my beloved
Now here we are this human art streaming from one heart, my beloved
Illuminated by your sun here we now become, my beloved
Mothers, surrender tomorrow and all the times you’ve cried
Fathers, surrender and release the joy that you hide
Children, surrender what you think it should be and now you arrive
And be here now
Now, be with me, be with all of us, our beloved
Angels, surrender tomorrow and all the times you’ve tried
Devils, surrender and release the love that you have inside
Everybody, surrender what you think it should be and now you arrive
And be here now

Either do or do not
(an older Facebook note that has recently been commented on, and so here it is)
To want for things is illusion.
There is One holy One and so what more is needed for Oneness to be One? What is there to want other than the wants created by dream characters? So, are you tired of sleeping? Do you long to awaken? Well, realize that it does not require any more, but less stories to realize the One.
No matter what the story, realize that this story that is being acted out is now occurring within the space of loving awareness that we ARE. If there is a story it is not eternity.
It is not more that reveals the One, but less. Because we are always awake even when we think that we are not.
So today, either do or do not. It is the in-between non-action of thought that is the component of illusion. We then think maybe, or if, or would, or should, then we are in-between and deep in the mind.
This experience matters only if we think that it matters. And then we believe that we are the amalgamation of these mattering thoughts and we forget our eternal awareness and we then exist in fantasy. But nothing has to be done as all is being done perfectly.
We are not really doing anything.
Love is now expressing through us.
All is arising and falling within the One, and we only think that we are doing these things because we are pretending through belief that we are not the One, but this is not true.
All is God. All is LOVE.
Do we plan for a thought to arise? No.
Do we plan to lose interest in something? No.
Do we plan our joy? No.
Do we plan on falling in love? No.
Do we plan on awakening? No. We are just experiencing the flow that is flowing through, and AS us and so let it flow and be free in joy.
We do not exist. We are thoughts in the mind of God.
We are the holy synapses experiencing this gift of existence.
Nothing needs to be worshiped or believed; for we are exactly where we are and this is perfect.
Be grateful and continually deepen into the presents of presence.
There is nothing to surrender; for how does eternity become un-eternity?
How does wholeness become more whole? This is impossible. This is the dream.
There are no distant lands that we have to visit. The heart is the true compass for realization.
Here we now are. How is this not so?
We are loving awareness that is now BEing through the human senses, so we are more than the senses - simple.
Awareness is what is animating the body and through this observation we realize that awareness is more than the body.
Let the body do what it is designed to do and be aware now. Be unlimited.
We have always been and will always be, so relax, unclench, and surrender the attempts of trying to fix perfection and enjoy what is being bestowed.
