Aging into God

/ jcr416
Even the trials of mind and body bring you closer to the one light shining through everything.

It happens second by second by second.

The slow blossoming of something radically new 

growing in the field of losses.

It’s happening right now.

Can you feel it?

Past and future recede into mystery.

Even the trials of mind and body 

bring you closer to the one light

shining through everything.

We don’t know what a single thing is

but we find its beauty everywhere

along this second-by-second path into God.

Wisdom?

/ jcr416

Mystical aging isn’t about wisdom,

it’s about being ever closer

to life’s pure experience:

old bodies, slower thoughts,

sunrises and cold winds,

loving touch, timeless moments,

deep breaths, honest conversation,

and the steadily parting veil.

Perhaps that is wisdom.

Telling the Truth

/ jcr416

How do I tell family and friends

I have changed, 

the old me passed away and a new one seeks

only peace, quiet, and the simplicity of love?

Of course, “I” am still here, but in a new way.

Images of my aging grandmother,

sitting quietly in the garden,

draw me into the waiting stillness.

I offer my grandchildren 

her same unspoken presence,

resting in divine being.

The Next Stage in Aging

/ jcr416

The “I Am God” state activates the next stage of spiritual evolution.

In aging’s deep space of sacred consciousness, we surrender the false self

into the living divine energy

of the cosmos,

touching everything,

blessing everyone,

 affecting the whole world.

Entering God’s  consciousness, love, and creativity,

we don’t so much change the world

as join the flow of its love.

From Constriction to Flow

/ jcr416

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.

The Soul’s Invitation

/ jcr416

When soul calls you outside to dance in the sunshine,

breathe in Earth’s loamy scent,

and laugh aloud at hummingbird competitions,  

it wants you to become part

of this swirling infinite kaleidoscopic mystery of being,

not stuck in the head-scape of identity.

You stand at the epicenter of the world’s transfiguration.

Soul is your guide, muse, teacher, coach, and champion.

Answer its call.

Listen to the Guidance of Soul

/ jcr416

When you stop censoring and directing yourself,

 the soul’s voice can be heard within,

sometimes in whispers, sometimes in shouts.

 Let it out of the ego’s corral.

As God is our ultimate divinity,

soul guides our progress toward that unity,

manifesting its sacred tasks

of awakening, loving service, and Self-realization.

Discover its urgency in the embers of your passion.

Ask soul for direction

and listen.

The Soul’s Message

/ jcr416

I am your higher self.

I am what you could be.

 Listen to me.

I bring your future as a divine being.

I am what you already are

but don’t yet realize.

I know you don’t feel ready,

 but you are.

Lending Soul Our Voice

/ jcr416

The soul speaks quietly inside

but has no physical voice of its own.

It waits, sometimes for decades,

for us to listen and lend it our voice

for love, justice, and awakening.

When we speak as soul,

we speak with authority

and power.
