A New Path to Enlightenment
Satori is not required for enlightenment.
You need only replace conventional beliefs
with sustained mystical consciousness.
Its revelations will bring quantum leaps in your
understanding and realization of God.
Within & Without
To go within yourself is to go
within everything, for
God’s within knows no boundaries.
My within includes
Earth, trees, sky, plants, animals, and you.
To go without engages the mind’s
penchant for conceptual boundaries,
splitting Creation into endless distinctions.
Failing to experience ourselves
within one another, each becomes
the distrusted other.
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.
Tadpoles
We are tadpoles in the sparkling waters of divinity
preparing for transformation.
Sacred Waters
As Creator,
I don an iridescent cloak
and become Eden.
As the sentient river of life,
tides, hues, scents,
tastes, sounds,
moods, and countless
beings, flow out of
me and back again.
You have lost touch with the
swirling waters of my eternal Self.
It is time to swim again.
Repeat after me:
I am the living God.
I dwell in all beings.
In me awakens the ecstasy of song,
dance, courting, and creating, of
life, love, and longing, of earth,
wind, and sky, as I dissolve in the
spirit-filled waters of Creation.
Meeting God
When I long to see the face of God,
I look in the mirror and
smile in recognition.
To See Me, Be Me
Here’s the ultimate riddle:
“I am everyone,
but no one sees
me. Who am I?”
God.
How can this be?
We see what we imagine…
a “homeless person”
“police officer”
“mother”
“clerk”
“student”
“criminal”
“nurse”
While we have a backstory for each, we never
see God behind the masks.
Nor do the figures experience God in themselves.
But wipe clean the “doors of perception,”
remove masks and narratives,
and what a homecoming we would have.
One loving family
awaking from a long nightmare.
What is the moral here?
God replies,
“You must be me to see me.”
Awaken divine consciousness and the
face of God will shine in everyone you meet.
The Alchemy of Consciousness and Being
Merging consciousness and being awakens
the experience of our own divinity.
The Divine Human is born
in the manger of unity.
NINE REALIZATIONS OF AWAKENING
1.
I am not who I think I am.
2.
All consciousness is God’s consciousness.
3.
All being is God’s being.
4.
Conscious being is unity with God.
5.
God rises in the depths of conscious being.
6.
Conscious being creates the Divine Human.
7.
The “I am God” experience leads naturally to sacred action.

Divine consciousness reveals that Heaven on Earth is already here.
9.
This is the next stage of our spiritual evolution.
Contemplate each realization.
Take all the time you need.
This is the roadmap to your new life.
The Solution to Separation
To say, “I am God” is to say,
“I am this.”
“I am every part of everything.”
The solution to the entire problem of separation
is to experience the unity of divinity.
I Am God
