The Holy Spirit

2012-02-01T22:17:00Z

    The Holy Spirit is more powerful and intelligent than any medication, Doctor, Lawyer, Scientist, Engineer or Politician.

   " Every loving thought is true. All other thoughts are an appeal for healing and help. Regardless of the form it takes." - J

    Consider the above statement the next time you are watching or reading the news. The next time you pick up a gossip magazine or listen to gossip from a friend. The next time you think you are being verbally attacked by a loved one or even a so called stranger.

Last Night

2012-01-12T09:27:19Z

Last night
the Holy Spirit picked me up from detention
and walked me outside.

"Look what you've done",
He assertively and compassionately exclaimed
as He pointed up at the cosmos.

"Well, what do you have to say for yourself, Dwayne?"

I looked to Him with the eyes of a child and said -

"Oops... My bad."

"Can we go Home now?"

The Silent Passenger

2012-01-10T18:46:38Z

    Underneath every thought in your head is space that allows room for that thought to be. Like the background for these words. What allows something to be has authority over what is to be. Before anything can Be there must be space for it. It is everywhere. In and out of everything. And it is all-intelligent. Before any form there was "Space". It is complete, whole, eternal and connected to everything all at once.

    Although this is not necessary; "Go outside, and just for a moment be aware of the space up against your face. Stay aware of it as it is touching your face and realize that it is one with the sky and connected to anywhere and anything on the planet at this very same moment. Everywhere in your city, country, continent. Now realize that this "Space" that is touching your face this very moment extends from your face out beyond the sky, beyond the Earth, beyond the Solar System and continues throughout the Universe. And stays connected to you the whole time." In order for the body to function it must breathe it in and out. Become aware of it - I beg you. Do not take it for granted. Do I really have to tell you what it is? Space never attacks or defends itself. It fears nothing and allows all. It is so humble, it will never draw attention to its Self.

    We are the "Space" underneath our thoughts and emotions. When you realize this and let thoughts and emotions pass by you like an airplane over-head in the sky while you lay at peace in your most comfortable, quite setting and position, glancing upward to notice the airplane for a moment but always more fully aware that you are not on it. You are still and grounded while it passes into and out of your line of site. Nothing (empty space) is not nothing. Nothing (empty space) is no-thing, and no-thing is something beyond any intelligence, security, peace or happiness this world could, can, or ever will be able to give you.

    Retire from seeking for what is all around and within you. For starters; Commit to one minute when you wake up and one minute before you go to sleep. Just for one minute twice a day give your attention to the empty-space around you and listen to its silence. Please do this for us. You will still have 23 hours and 58 minutes to use for whatever you think you need it for. When you're ready, gradually extend it by a minute or two. You will know you are ready when you can focus on nothing for longer and/or when your mind wonders off on a - thought, you are aware that you are thinking and realize the space underneath the thought and return to the space without getting swept away by the thought. Don't force it. Its not a goal. A goal implies something you do not have that you need to work towards attaining. I am speaking of what you already have and are but need only to rinse away the thoughts that cover it so you may realize what is there underneath. Practice this consistently and you will start to feel an energy-like tingle in your hands and feet that will grow. Let go and let it. Its been waiting for you and the more you let it take over, the more your "story"-what most people mistake to be their "life"- will improve beyond your dreams.

Hold-on to nothing with all your might,

In The Beginning

2011-11-02T05:36:40Z

In the beginning, never speak to anyone. When someone speaks to you, pretend that it is you who are speaking and answer yourself to them. Answer in the most peaceful way that you would like to be spoken to.

Nature Boy

2011-10-25T06:06:28Z

There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy
And sad of eye
But very wise
Was he

And then one day
A magic day he came my way
And while we spoke of many things, fools and kings
This he said to me
"The greatest thing
You'll ever learn
Is just to love
And be loved
In return"

We Are One

2011-10-18T21:00:44Z

Can't understand
Why we treat each other in this way
Taking up time
With the silly silly games we play
We've got our love
And no matter how it's said or done

We are one no matter what we do
We are one

Love will see us through
We are one and that's the way it is

Sometimes I feel
That we try and make each other sad
The things we do
How we make each other feel so bad
We've got so much
We could all be having so much fun

We are one from the very start
We are one deep down in your heart
We are one
And that's the way it is

I Can't understand
Why we treat each other in this way
Taking up time
With the silly silly games we play
We've got our love
And no matter how it's said or done

We are one no matter what we do
We are one
Love will see us through
We are one and that's the way it is

What is Atonement?
Reconciliation between God and human-beings. To return and be one with God again. The realization and acceptance that God's Will is your Will.

What is Disease?
Fear. Know first that disease is fear manifested into physical matter. All thinking produces form at some level. Fear arises from lack of love.

Say to yourself - I somehow must have chosen not to love, or the fear could not have arisen.

The ONLY remedy for lack of love is perfect love.
Perfect love is the Atonement.

The expression of Atonement is a sign of respect from the worthy to the worthy. The recognition of this worth is re-established by the Atonement.

If you hope to spare yourself from fear there are some things you must realize, and realize fully.

The mind is very powerful
The mind never loses its creative force
It never sleeps
Every instant it is creating

When everything you retain is lovable, there is no reason for fear to remain with you. This is your part in the Atonement.

Thought and belief combine into a power surge that can literally move mountains. - from A Course In Miracles

I Have Learned So Much

2011-10-06T00:04:54Z

I
Have
Learned
So much from God
That I can no longer
Call
Myself

A Christian, a Hindu, a Muslim,
A Buddhist, a Jew.

The Truth has shared so much of itself
With me

That I can no longer call myself
A man, a woman, an angel
Or even pure
Soul.

Love has
Befriended Hafiz so completely
It has turned to ash
And freed
Me

Of every concept and image
My mind has ever known.

The Razors Edge

2011-09-19T22:22:51Z

What most people believe to be their life is a dream. What most people believe to be death is actually waking-up from the dream of form. If you can become fully aware that you are dreaming the dream of form then you will have lightened your load (enlightened) and ended your suffering. The Buddha calls this, "Die before you die".
This moment is perfect. Always give your attention to this moment. What happens in this moment is secondary. From a child being born to an innocent person being murdered, these things are not this moment. They are what happens in this moment. They are "events". The moment is underneath events and not events themselves. The moment is always perfect. When you realize that your attention belongs primarily on the pure moment the space in which things happen and what happens in it is secondary, you begin to wake up from the dream of your "story" that you believe to be your "life". Realizing that the moment is "space" and not what happens in it and staying focused on that space through whatever happens (events) is "walking the razors edge". Forgiveness becomes easy because what is real space never needs forgiveness. Therefore you are only really forgiving illusion. Forgiveness is the road along the razors edge. This is your path. So many seek but so few find. I am asking you to walk it with me. In your mind all day and night forgive everyone and everything in silence.

Why am I here?

2011-09-08T00:01:58Z

Before answering this question there are a few things we need to discuss. First of all, science has proven that nothing that appears to be solid really is. It is just vibrating energy. If you take a powerful enough instrument designed for viewing this phenomenon, you will see energy vibrating together at a common frequency. This is all that you are looking at when you see; a chair, a tree, the ocean, a rock and even a human being. So where is God in all of this? Everywhere. God can not be made or destroyed, has no beginning or end and is the light. Energy can not be made or destroyed, has no beginning or end and nobody knows how it gives light. Science knows the smaller they go within i.e. "atoms down to pure energy"    the more power they get. What is more powerful than God? How many times have you heard God is within? Energy is the inner most part of an Atom. Yet a chair can be destroyed and people can die. At least it appears that way to the dreamer. More on "the dreamer" later. The truth is, this vibrating energy that manifests as a chair or whatever is very unstable. So it can not hold its shape for very long. And to energy (aka God) one year or a billion years is not long. In fact, God has no concept of time. Yet God is all knowing. That leaves the only logical answer to be that "time is an illusion", for God knows all that is real. God does not know time because time does not exist. Time is what man decided it to be A long time ago. So he/she could keep track of things. What things? The comings and goings of form, of physical matter. What I am saying is; "all that you are looking at is energy vibrating at a certain frequency that allows it to be visible". This does not make it real. It makes it temporarily visible. Including people. How do we know it is temporary? Because our leaders in science have proven that it is unstable. It can only hold itself together for a relatively short period of time. In humans we call it, "aging" (gerontology).

    To summarize, nothing that you see is actually real but what it is made up of (energy or God, whichever pointer you prefer) is the only thing that is real. Holiness is hiding within every form you see. Everything. From whatever you dislike the most to whatever you cherish the most and everything in between. You need to know what "Here" is before you can fully understand "Why you are here".

    The second thing we need to discuss before we can answer the question, "Why am I here?" is how we see what we see. The eyes do not see. The brain does. And it does it based on your past experiences. This is not true vision. Everything that you see is based off of your so-called past. If you look upon something as an adult for the first time, in an instant, your mind will find something in your past that is similar so that it can bring this new form into focus. This happens so quickly that it is seem-less. We call it "relating". If your brain can not find anything from your past to relate what I am saying to you now to, then you will not be able to see what I mean. Understand? And you will dismiss what I am saying. But sometimes we block our brain from seeing things (more detail on that in a different blog) that we choose not to see. So really, most human beings sight is just a perception in there head of there past. At birth, children do not see. Or do they? Well, any doctor worth his paycheck will tell you the mechanics of eyesight and what percentage is still not developed in a new-born which explains why their sight is not up and running, "online", at birth. Could it be possible that the reason new-born children can not see is because; 1) "they have no-past that they are aware of and 2) they feel whole? "Be like children", said Jesus. New-borns are not aware that they are a separate entity. Which actually makes them closer to real reality, but not fully aware of it. As their memory builds, their ability to see physical form comes into being. And they grow and have more memories and see more things. They grow into adults. They grow into you. Relying more on sight and feeling more separated, perhaps. Feeling so separated and alone that sometimes they ask themselves, "why am I here?" The problem is not the question itself. But problems do come if your solution to this question is in the form of, i.e. career/job, money, house, spouse. The answer to this age-old question is not in any form because forms are only relatively true at best and the question, "why am I here?" points to an ultimate truth. Ultimate truth can not be seen with your eyes or in your head because it is a totality. The brain was created to see in perspectives. It is unable to see from every possible angle/perspective at the same time. Some my say because this is impossible but it is not. It is only impossible for the unaware mind. What you can do is feel the totality, the ultimate truth. Through this feeling, real vision can come into your awareness. "God looked upon the world and saw it was good", says the Bible. Not because God looked upon the world thousands of years ago when it was good but because God looked upon the real world. Human eyes were created to see form and form in and of itself is not the real world but only a point of view. This is why "Do not judge" is one of the Ten Commandments. Before you judge you have infinite possibilities. As soon as you judge (make a decision) your possibilities collapse on the one you chose. This has been proven in Quantum Physics. But you never make the correct decision if you make your own decisions. When you make no decision and wait with a quiet still mind, an empty mind. God will make the correct decision for you. This is faith. To not judge a situation (to not make a decision) and wait in the stillness of your mind is actually making the decision to let "God" or the "One Energy" work things out for you. Which is a true decision in and of itself.

    What I am saying is your perception of the world you see is not real. It is like a dream you dream when you go to sleep at night. "Why are you here?" To awaken within the dream and see the world that God spoke about when God said "The world is good". It is here now and it is peaceful and abundant for you. This is primary. Becoming a Movie Star, Pro Athlete, Doctor, School Teacher, Scientist, etc. are all secondary. Secondary vehicles that can be used to have communion with your brother. None of them are your true purpose for being here. They are inter-changeable. Your true primary purpose is changeless. Who is your brother? Literally, everyone.

    Close your eyes while sitting down and take three deep breaths. Now ask yourself, "why am I here?". Do not search or try to answer this question. Just know that you are breathing in, then breathing out. Keep your mind on the knowing that you are breathing in and breathing out. Five minutes is good.

God bless you.

What Is Being Spiritual?

2011-09-06T16:45:18Z

Spirituality is not something that you can find by looking for it. It is always present within you. Within everyone. But our thoughts cover up its presence. To be spiritual is not doing anything, it is to do nothing (in your mind), which allows your true spirit to come forth. One must realize that your private thoughts are not real and become aware of the stillness underneath these thoughts that is always present and allows thought to be. Private thoughts are born out of this stillness and die back into it. The still-awareness is who you are. Being in a constant state of still-awareness is being spiritual. It is a state of no private thoughts. You are what is real. What is real does not come and go like sound and physical matter. But it does experience sound and physical matter. To know your true-self is to know some-thing, that is no-thing.
Do you ever get a feeling that their is something not quite real about your current environment? If you are interested in becoming more aware of your true-self and what is rightfully yours click here.
