When thought ceases,
the false self and its world drop away,
and the mind’s house of cards collapses to reveal we never left the Garden.
We are divine beings in a divine world spun of consciousness,
joy,
beauty,
and love.
In this holy revelation,
we come home to a place
we only thought we’d lost.
Oh my God!
Beauty in a new emerald-green leaf.
Joy in a squirrel’s raucous chatter.
Sunshine warm on my face.
Silent mind and all of this. Eternity in every moment.
Please don’t judge others for what they do or don’t do.
Please don’t criticize others for what they say or don’t say.
Judgment and criticism only harm you.
Every stinging remark conceals the entrance
to Heaven on Earth.
I light up my awareness and Heaven appears everywhere.
It’s always here, beautiful and vivid.
You can “pave paradise” with your illusions
but it’s still the sacred ground of God’s being.
It’s all God.
Look deeply and silently
into anything and you will find
inexhaustible beauty, holiness, and mystery.
Thought leads to thought,
Sensation leads to God.
I am God. I paint the world
in living colors
and dress in brilliantly-designed fabrics.
I offer resplendent sunsets and sunrises,
endless stars and galaxies,
ravishing mysteries.
I am laughter and wonder.
I am you.
Be me.
Create!
Countless billions of organisms inhabit the living Earth,
creating, birthing, evolving,
all nourished by
the sun’s energy,
in a cosmos of infinite proportions and inexplicable processes,
yet we argue about politics?
With a brain as miraculous as the cosmos,
stand still and witness this miracle before your eyes.
Creation is not hard to see.
You are an essential part of it.
in my gently cupped hands of golden light.
I touch your eyes
and before you shines
the dazzlingly radiant creativity
of a sacred cosmos
and the one blazing light of consciousness
that permeates reality.
Be stunned.
Be ecstatic.
Join me.
Be God.

The mystical essence of reality, including us,
is existence-consciousness-bliss.
It’s the singular nature of God’s being in the world
creating Heaven on Earth.
The ego attempts to explain this idea
to stay in charge. It always fails.
Only direct perception of Creation’s
sacred beauty and luminosity
confirms this revelation.
Give up explaining.
No one will understand anyway.
Experience Heaven.
That’s all the proof you need.

Flow is an experience of Heaven on Earth.
It happens magically during wide-awake,
thought-free, sensory awareness.
You can find it in gardening, folding clothes,
rocking a baby, or singing to a favorite song.
In flow, we take each moment exactly as it is,
without modifying thought, goal, plan, or judgment.
Focusing on our own physical being,
we surrender to its pure energy
and find ourselves dissolving into fluid, easy, spontaneous,
even dance-like motion filled with soul.
It just happens,
effortless, timeless, eternal, like a river.
Float in it.
But be alert to ego’s siren call for control,
analysis, impatience, frustration, self-consciousness,
embarrassment, or simply “getting back to normal.”
With a single complaint, we trade
enlightenment for ego,
and the prison doors of the mind close again.
I Am God
