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.

The Music Focus

Hello everyone. I want to share that I am really focusing on my music and performing and so this blog will now reflect this. My CD "This Song We Sing" is now available through my site, and will be internationally available next week.

It will be on Itunes (national and international), Amazon.com, and more in one week.

I am now currently working with an incredible human being (and friend) DeDe Murcer Mofftt on scheduling shows and marketing. This woman is a powerhouse of love and light and I am honored to know her. We are also in the beginning stages of writing a musical. More on that soon.

I am finishing a duet that I wrote for her and I to perform in our concert: "Now I AM Here", and I love it. I will upload a demo to my Facebook "This Song We Sing fanpage" soon. I will also add it to my site as well.

I am also updating my site. I added a comment system and a twitter feed, and more to come.

I am here and I am grateful to have the breath to sing and to be connected with such wonderful souls.

Have a glorious and blessed day.

Through our suffering, nature is informing us that we are off center.

So until we cease crying out for God, we are not really listening.

And when we heal within, our world heals and reveals more than the judgments created by a wounded soul.

Dancing with God - The Paradigm Shift

Though they seem separate, all relationships are dancing with God.


There is ONE, and that ONE is now expressing through us all, even when we are not aware of this. Be free in the knowing that no matter what you "think", you are now and forever cradled in the arms of love.

It is through limited understanding that we create the concepts of "many" and "time". And so even though our current evolved organizations may speak otherwise, there is only one GOD experience that is now happening.

We may label and define things as individual, but these are limited understandings created by the ego (or, by our world-created identities). But we are more.

We know that the deeper we peer into life the more unified our discoveries. And so anything that is perceived as separate is an illusion. And we are only asked to open up our minds so that the limiting filters within that are fracturing the ONE into pieces are surrendered. And through this surrender what we once thought of as separate is now realized as integral to the whole.

We are souls realizing that we are actually cells in the one body of God - simple. And it is only "hell" when we do not surrender to our expanding awareness.

Like birds gathering to rest on a ledge or deer sheltered under a canopy during a storm or sea turtles mating for "life" or "human beings" merging, creation is a perfect resonant symphony, and the rest is mind stuff.

We do not "have" to do anything but love God. And we do this by relinquishing our judgments so that God in all forms is realized.

ALL is God, and so mindlessly now all may be embraced as ONE.

1-21-10 Balance and our body

Honor your body and find your balance; for just as without a projector there can be no movie, so to is it that without a body there can be no life.

When we learn to love our body we are now a microcosmic model of the macrocosm loving itself.

Eyes that SEE

Be not fooled by the appearances of the world.

Heart-gaze deeply and alertly into all that you experience and more than separate bodies, colors, definitions, and beliefs will be illumined.

The world is a mirror revealing your mind to you.

And so if you experience pieces in the world then realize that there are pieces within your understanding.

Let it all BE and you will now have "eyes that see."

12-19 inspirations

Hello ALL, here are few inspirations. I am going to focus more on sharing through this blog, seeing that I have been mostly only sharing through Facebook. Here are a few inspirations for the day. Also, i have joined twitter as "emptyfull" so let's follow.

Thank you God! Sing, write, speak, teach, laugh, dance, heal, and BE through me; thy will be done. Our will be done; for we are here now.



Life is an incomprehensible holographic orchestration of love not to be tethered, but freed.



It is not change but surrender that is to be our practice. For when we change we are only dancing in the mind and thus not realizing more than the mind. In a battle we are either defensive or offensive and thus we are are at war no matter what we experience. But, when we surrender the battle we become THAT which is more than battle, and we are free.
