Repairing the Damage

There is a Fear that resides in me, scared of the silence.

Unnerved by the stillness and call of the Here and Now.

Constantly does the Ego wish for and clamor about seeking desires, comforts and ease of living, ambitions and endless needs met. 

Ever moving outward, forward and away from that quiet just as it runs from consequence, responsibility and accountability. 

What is it in the Silence I fear?

What will I become in that Silence?

What truly is Silence, Void or "Nothingness", will it consume me?

The me that I have created for years, that I have come to rely on, the one who has tricked, lead astray and misguided for so long? Is this a struggle between the release of my self and the approach of the One true Self?

This inner battle releases tension, where I recognize fears, insecurities and doubts, so old, molded/putrid and ancient.

Surely it must be a calming, protective, nurturing state of Pure Light & Pure Love. 

So why run? Why not embrace?

Yet there is an apprehension that plagues me, screaming that life will pass me by in that state of stillness. 

This inertia will consume me and allow me to move no further, go no deeper and feel no freedom.

I will remain at rest, left alone, a mental Death.

Dead in my physical while my mental wanders restlessly about.

Yes, there resides in me an unease of being vulnerable, unprotected and without a self created 

safety-net. Throwing myself into the abyss at my own accord, jumping in even. 

Left adrift, floating in a sea of "Nothingness" to become nothingness.

I fear this Step on the Path, yet it is the only true release, only freedom awaits where true life begins!

Free of blinders, Maya and Illusion of Glamour, false pretense and self-focused existence.

I Fear.....

But Here Goes.....

Step by Step....I tread the Path Alone..as one with One...

I shed..

In Love with Light,

                                                           Me..

Inner Revolution

There is much racial tension stirred in the collective of the United States today, and sadly since America's inauguration. The hidden and not so hidden tension of the races in this country can no longer go unresolved and unattended to. For the last few weeks in Baltimore, Maryland, protest has ensued and justifiably so, this is not an acceptance of violence but an understanding of frustration. When the oppressed reject long held oppressive tactics of inequality, improper distribution of resources and injustice, typically violence is the result. Molten latent and repressed lava or hatred lie dormant in the gut for many generations manifesting rage and backlash. This toxin branches throughout the body in disease form until it colors the entire life of the oppressed. Hatred results in a form of psychosis (psychological disruptions), lethargy (sapping the energy), and the inability to love in depth. This is all illusion birthed out of blindness and ignorance to Divine Law, creating seperativeness which is.... against Divine Law. That is why hatred is a force in opposition to the Light, it creates separation and darkness in the heart follows.

 It grows until the body is completely VOID of Light.  

Yet this is not simply an America epidemic, it is a human nature that has doomed mankind since its inception. One that only conscious evolution can stimulate and awaken man from illusion, bestowing freedom from that darkness. Symptoms of awakening are unity consciousness, were the nation of man recognizes the lies that one is superior to the inferior, the have versing the have not's, the dominant abusing the weak emanating as one pitted against the other. Symptoms show the sleeping one, the implausibility of these truths, technology and travel opens us to the ability to witness unjustifiable international disparities (imbalance) deprived of propaganda. Where we travel abroad and breath in the immense disproportionate distribution of wealth and atrocious poverty. These faulty systemic and ideological beliefs can no longer be sustained to our own ability to perceive truth. Is this not the case? 

This is not an agenda of revolution for nor against any mission of political or religious oppressive tactic, system or regime. This is an admonition (act of warning) for the revolution and evolutionary awakening to the masses in a plea to rise from your slumber and take up arms against your own ignorance. To slay the beast that resides inside, robbing you of the keys to be released, trapping and keeping you prisoner as you move along at a snails pace. This is time for the Light, take up your shield and your arms and fight for your life!  

Always in Love with The One,

                                                          Me.

Time and Change are Synonymous

You can not posses one without the other.

When you return to your old neighborhood and witness debilitation of buildings and chaos in the streets for time has surely left its mark. Conversely, as you drive through in reminiscence and gaze upon the beauty of the flowers and glorious colors of change  that once were not present, so time too has brought with it change. There is no need to have an aversion or hatred for things past for time is to be welcomed and embraced.

Fear not the changes of the body for they hold the signs of a closeness for the return to the Creator Source, a transition unavoidable, for such is Cosmic Law. Acceptance and tolerance of things to come are a beautiful mystery and gift of life. Invite change and all its wonder and expressions, greet and meet it at the door in delightful anticipation. Waiting and welcoming with a grand smile and childish amazement. For time waits for no man as Winter concerns itself not for your preparedness, better to be welcoming than mourning and complaining!

Love of The One,

                                                            Me

Wish for Hard Times

I ask in the name of the Divine: Please do not shield me from hard times. 

Give me more challenges and open me to obstacles.

Why, you ask, do I summon for these things, dear Friend? 

So that the strain and stress may be lifted off of the weary. 

So that the burdens too hard to bear be lifted from the poor, the tired and the suffering ones. 

So is it I who do not suffer?

No, I too suffer, but it is I who embraces the burden.

I no longer run from things difficult,

I embrace all challenges destined on my Path,

I rest NOT and toil and toil more for our release of despair.

My obstacles enrich me, they instill fearlessness & courage.

I will rise to the summits of Mt. Everest, so that you may know the joy.

If I must see someone bound by suffering, let it be me, oh Lord!

Because I have faith in things to come from here to the hereafter.

I wish not easier days, I hope not for infinite wealth, I care not for priceless possessions and grandioseness. 

Wish not for all days of ease and pleasures of life, for what is a life of untold desires fulfilled?

All wants fulfilled, can this be truly the ultimate goal of Divine existence? Where then is strength seen, how would we know out true capabilities if no challenges present themselves. Where would our faith, passions and loyalty be focused?

Ask for, nah beg for struggles, for when the rewards come (and they will) you will have already embraced the difficulty, overcome the challenges  thus appreciating more the victory. 

"Know that the seeds of victory lie within the struggle, 

while the toils to overcome,

waters and nurtures it 

into a Mighty Oak".-TMG

In the Shadows...

In the shadows of life there lies a darkness of negative influences. Lurking, stealing and draining our divine right to true prosperity and peace. We may call this; negative thinking, energy vampires (be they our friends, family, children, co-workers etc..) or out-molded beliefs and behaviors that lead to unexpected consequences. Dare we acknowledge them or do we intentionally deny their existence?    

     Only you know the answer to this. If we just for the moment bring them to the surface and call them out, these influences can help us clear away dead dross of our lives. These impressions cloud our judgments and shroud the way we perceive the world we live in. Our subconscious perception of ourselves can be rather cruel and condescending especially when we put effort forth towards our goals. If one is in a state of perpetual anxiety towards pursuing their true heart’s desire, whether career, entrepreneurial, travel etc., a negative self- image dissuades one from taking steps towards its completion. Abundance, prosperity and inner peace are our divine birthright. When we allow the misguided actions and behaviors of others determine our responses and reactions we close that window to prosperity and abundance. By incorrectly responding to certain stimulus inappropriately, we give it power to take residence up in our minds, bodies and life.

     This stimulus ultimately decreases the amount of vitality/energy needed to progress upon the path. A shield of confidence can be created by accomplishing even the most rudimentary daily task while never losing sight of our long-term objectives. Life is comprised of simple small beauties and fulfillment's that nurture and nourish us. Let us consistently look out for natural genuine lasting happiness.

Building Character

When we make the conscious decision to build our character with a more refined sense of values and morale we begin to take on a better quality of thoughts, feelings and behaviors. After years of building a crude and hardened personality from the challenges and struggles of life,  this refinement takes a lot more time, effort and energy to cultivate. Like scrubbing scum off an old tub neglected for years in an abandoned old house, takes much back breaking effort. Character is our present state of patterns that represent our individual and personal habits and attitudes. Character can be considered the basis of our actions in the home and within society.

These patterns of thoughts, feelings, and actions reach a standard which reflects our self (good or bad), and it shows us who we are and how we are perceived by the world. To build character means to refine and correct our patterns of mental, emotional and physical behaviors that allow us to become assets to others in the world instead of liabilities. The one who decides to walk the Path of Conscious Self-Improvement takes on a great deal of personal responsibility. Because the uncontrolled mind is largely controlled by desire we must consciously make an intention to live more along the line of Self-Improvement.

In the initial stages we will begin to take note of our deficiencies and lacks, realizing imbalances that must be corrected. This is the process of self-observation followed by attempts at self-control. We discover what is missing in our nature and attempt to resolve our weaknesses and make them stronger, better. True self-assessment is a requirement as we observe that discipline and strong will are the real solution. Progress in our personal development calls for a re-orientation ("repentance"), a turning back or turning into a new direction.  We need only correct or re-train our ingrained bad habits and attitudes, that require us to consciously build in virtues towards our advancement. These virtues are clearly not yet present and need to be studied, mimicked and ingrained daily through virtuous habit-forming behaviors.

A wise one must remember that one tries & fails,

tries & fails,

but always tries again!
