Dancing With God

Every child has danced with God.

Not the God of should or shhhh.

The God of tippy toes and swirling skirts,

rain boots in mud puddles,

infectious giggles and divine silliness.

When did you stop dancing?

Want to dance again?

Timelessness in Mystical Consciousness

Time slows down and disappears

in the enchantment of mystical consciousness.

People, places, and actions grow more fascinating.

This reality-shifting alteration of time expands

the aperture to eternity.

Notice when this shift happens.

It signals the nearing of Heaven on Earth.

Celebrate

It doesn’t matter what others

do, think, or say.

That is the noise

of busyness and controversy.

We are here to celebrate

the cosmic nature of self and world.

Find the ecstasy of your being.

Everything is

creativity and celebration 

from there.

Seeing Eden

1.
Thought cloaks mystical consciousness
with identity, time, and story.
We see only what we think.
Ceasing thought reveals
a naked emperor,
until even the emperor disappears.

2.
Naked awareness is mystical consciousness.
Without thought, we don’t know
who we are,
where we are,
or what the world is.
Yet that is the threshold.

3.
In mystical consciousness, we discover
the enchanted land we left in early childhood,
woven of mystery, magic, and myth.
Talking animals,
welcoming trees,
singing streams,
great mountains,
and divinity itself
respond to our presence.

4.
And here’s the point:
only mystery will restore the divine world.
What we think we know
is the emperor’s next illusion
cloaking Eden.

All Separate, All One

 A single consciousness fills the universe
flowing through what appear to be different forms,
like light through magnificent stained-glass windows,
giving each “thing” its unique qualities –
rose distinct from the swallow,
willow from a butterfly,
rock from a fountain,
but in the end, all one Creation.

Understanding this to be reality,
an amazing opportunity materializes:
intimate relationships with extraordinary beings
all equal, all divine, all different yet one,
and none considered inferior or inanimate.
They become our teachers, friends, guides, and consolers.
The cosmos waits for us to take our place
in the democratic community of conscious sacred beings.

The Chaos of End Times

In a dream last night,

a disabled spaceship hurtles toward Earth.

People wonder what will happen,

where it might strike,

how to prepare.

We don’t know when it will hit

but it will be soon,

a matter of hours or days.

Most dismiss its potential threat.

I am terrified.  

God whispers,

Fall to your knees.

Ready your soul for impact.

Humanity’s fragile world will disintegrate

like flying debris in a massive tornado.

 You’ve been drunk on

hubris, fossil fuels, and self-indulgence,

ventured far from the Sacred Earth.

The clock cannot turn back.

Like a massive asteroid,

Shiva rushes toward humanity’s folly.

But horror will meld your consciousness

 into the holy moment of my arrival.

Be wide awake.

The empire is coming apart in love.

God’s Show

Every day

God puts on an awesome 4-D show.

Light glancing off water,

wind-shaken trees,

the smell of lavender and honeysuckle,

hopscotch and lovers,

crisp tasty apples,

snowy days and fireplaces.

Get a front row seat

before your ticket expires.

Presence

Reality is conscious and alive.

It knows us.

Every tree, plant, rock, and cloud

senses our presence as we walk by

and invites us into

the divine world

which is their home,

and ours.

Stepping into the Mystery

Stop thinking.
Stand very still.
Breathe slowly.
Become intensely awake
and aware of your surroundings,
especially the way light and shadow constantly transform
the surfaces of the world.
Examine every little thing.

Now focus consciousness back on itself
and feel God breathing you,
becoming you,
becoming Creation.

Whisper your secret name for God,
and love rushes up from within,
ending
all confusion about why you’re here.
Enter Heaven here on Earth.

Stay awhile.
Wherever you are,
bathe in the enchanting mystery
of God’s conscious being.

Dropping the False World

Mystical consciousness erases conventional beliefs

about who and where I think I am

and the stories I tell about the world.

In “I am God” consciousness,

ideas of “me” and “my” life

disappear,

replaced by an infinitely fascinating

fairyland of light and beauty,

color and flow,

magically arising as we celebrate

the living divine now

of Heaven on Earth.
