Child’s Play

Believing consciousness

to be our own, we take

the long adventure of life.

Like a child playing with toy figures,

we create an imaginary self.

Duality is God’s way of joining the dream

for the pure experience of creativity.

Sometimes, engaging God’s consciousness,

we create nightmares.

But as my grandmother used to say,

“Life is a schooling of the spirit

from the cradle to the grave.”

So, be sure to learn

along the way.

The Dreamer and the Dream

Just as everything in a dream 

is part of the dreamer,

everything in humanity’s dream

is me, too, no matter how ugly or evil,

for I am its dreamer.

Parts of the dream may seem separate from me

because I don’t  like those parts.

But they are still me.

The greater insight is this:

In awakened consciousness,

I am not this dream at all.

I am God’s consciousness watching.

This is liberation.

There is a more beautiful dream waiting.

From Constriction to Flow

Concepts and thoughts lock

the mind in rigid forms,

freezing our participation 

in the flow of being.

Silencing the brain’s chatter, 

shed the straitjacket of mind.

Soul, waiting patiently in the wings,

reaches out,

 takes your hand,

walks you into Creation,

   showing you how to challenge illusion

and find the work you came here to do.

God and Politics

God is not interested in power,

wealth, or winning.

Divine love rains down on everyone.

Entering God’s nature, we act from love.

Worshipping power and wealth, we grow numb.

Anyone using God’s name for political purposes

does not understand God.

Love unites lovers on all sides.

Dissolving the Mirage

One day we wake up

to realize

what we think of

as reality

is a mirage:

dramas projected by the mind onto the perfection of Creation.

On that day, the chains of illusion

begin falling off,  

and, in the bliss of divine union,

we uncover the true world

to realize it never left.

It Wasn’t God

Actions propelled by our own shoulds,

habits, goals, plans, fantasies,

and expectations

close the perceptual gates of mystical consciousness

and expel us once again from the Garden.

We were never banished from Eden,

we left of our own accord.
