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 ♥

This Song We Sing

An original song with original art as an ode to the ONE love that we ARE.

We are the sunlight and the golden sand
We are the miracle molded in Love’s hand
The greatest ocean an eternal spring
Because of love this song we sing


We are the mountains and the winding shores
We are the one, and the love on which It soars
The magnificent Earth and All residing
Because of love this song we sing


We are the forest, the stands of emerald green
We are the Beauty that abounds seen an unseen
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
We are evolving, an eternal brilliant star
We will light the way for those who seek the ring
Because of love this song we sing
