Now I know what I must do.
Inside me resides the power
to awaken humanity to the sacred cosmos.
The source of this power lies at the center of each of us.
We must act from that source.
I am God.
So are you.
Join me in the Oneness
of love.
Existence is all one thing
but the mind makes it into many things,
this and that,
you and me,
us and them,
human and animal,
woman and man,
God and me.
Struggling in quicksand never works.
Simply put, we are the problem, all of us,
identifying as separate beings.
Move from the many to the one and
know all are God.
Then there is no one left to fight.
Because there is only one divine being,
my being is God’s being,
your being is God’s being,
we all share the one indivisible being,
hence the universal commandment,
“Love thy neighbor as thy self.”
In mystical consciousness, what happens to you
happens to me, too, so I care for you as myself.
When ideas like
“you,” “me,” “yours” and “mine”
cease cleaving unity,
humanity will love the One as the All,
and we will dance together
in a great cosmic love song.
The experience of mystical oneness
is itself activism.
When “I” dissolve in the All,
torrents of divine love pour through me
into Creation
reaching every corner.
As the poet becomes the poem,
and the lover becomes the beloved,
so too does
the mystic become God
leavening the world with love.
Do you think me crazy?
Be God and get crazy, too.
When I close my eyes and sense
the silent interior,
I realize it’s not “me” in there,
it’s God.
Disappearing
Gazing out the window into an August garden, absent-
mindedly surveying the colorful, overflowing
abundance,
I rest in the peace of now.
I enter stillness.
Words lose their meaning,
tumble into silent nothingness.
The mind settles.
I disappear in the void.
Only a shell remains,
and you,
everywhere,
like air.
I Am God
