“Come to your senses” is a secret
call to “I Am God” consciousness,
inviting us to leave the head-world
of thought, fantasy, and worry
for the timeless, radically here-and-now reality
found in pure sensory awareness.
Every perception brilliantly clear and sharp,
every detail captivating.
Abruptly departing the mind’s parallel universe,
we step carefully into the first-hand experience
of Heaven on Earth.
The present moment is the threshold of Heaven.
The stepping stones leading to this always-
new world are these:
Stop thinking.
Intensify sensation.
See. Touch. Smell. Taste. Listen.
Feel your own being.
Allow ancient sensory perceptions to awaken
the experience of Creation
as divinity itself.
Peace is found here.
Happiness, too.
And Love.
They are fundamental
to the nature of Creation.
There is nowhere else
more sacred than this.
God constantly renews the divine world
through our awakened consciousness.
The medium of this blessing
is the mystical brain,
translating perception, emotion, and action
into God.
As we renew ourselves and our work
in mystical consciousness,
we become creators in service to Creation.
Without humanity, the divine world would not exist,
for God’s dream is born
through our sacred awareness.
To awaken mystical consciousness
we must learn to see again…
see without
thought or purpose,
judgment or expectation,
see what’s here,
now,
exactly as it is,
each detail perfect and complete,
like a brilliantly realized Rembrandt masterpiece
composed of light, form, color, and depth.
Can you sense its all-pervading holiness?
Look deeply into any part of Creation
you will find God creating reality from itself
in every moment – The Ultimate Artist.

The Annunciation, Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn 1650
In spellbound awareness,
Samsara melts
into Nirvana,
Revealing the world’s craziness
as our own.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
