Every person has genius inside,
a daemon whose unique gift is grace,
a one-of-a-kind contribution
to humanity’s salvation.
If you could only see yourself as I do.

A toxic brew
of AI, climate change, fascism, and war
bode a darkly apocalyptic human era.
Yet in the world of Spirit
our journey of awakening continues.
We stumble toward Eden
holding each other.
May we stay nimble.
May we be luminous with love.

Our concepts
are too small
for the work at hand.
We are commissioned by
the living divine universe
to awaken and transform
into cosmic beings –
spiritual builders, teachers, artists,
writers, and leaders of a new consciousness.
We are the agents
of humankind’s
next evolution.

When problems avalanche
over attempts to fix, control, or escape them,
stop everything.
Be still, silent, quiet, present.
Let the holiness of the moment
settle around you.
No thought, no effort, no goals.
No place to go.
Wait.
The answer is here.
Now.

As crises pile up threatening
to shatter heart and soul,
we are not helpless.
We can love and support our
friends, neighbors, coworkers, volunteers,
classmates, and congregations.
As we knit ourselves together with love,
we can find ways to help –
physically, economically, emotionally, spiritually,
politically, personally, and mystically.
Rumi said,
“Let the beauty we love
be what we do.
There are a thousand ways to
kneel and kiss the ground.”
May we kneel on Creation’s sacred ground and
discern a thousand ways to
worship through action.

Hate begets hate,
bring love.
Blame leads to revenge,
bring compassion
Rage triggers violence,
bring peace.
Fear motivates withdrawal,
bring calm.
Collapse leads to defeat,
bring healing.
Exhaustion robs engagement,
bring energy.
Lies foster confusion,
bring truth.
Cynicism creates nihilism,
bring hope.
Surrender permits dominance,
bring resolve.
Despair generates isolation,
bring community.
Hopelessness drives denial,
bring nature,
Detachment fosters unconsciousness,
bring awareness.
Negativity crushes inspiration,
bring the mystical Self.
We are never alone or defenseless.
The deepest source of our resistance
to tyranny and injustice
lies in our common humanity
and the mystical experience
of our divine nature.
Generate a force field
of love, empathy, and healing
to rein in the raging beast.
Love begets the strength to care.

Framers of our constitution
conceived democracy
to uphold the sacred value of every citizen.
Those with a lust for power and wealth
inevitably threaten this principle.
When democracy fails,
mystical consciousness awakens.
We feel the suffering of others
because in God we are the others.
That time has arrived.
As slaughter rages,
we incarnate God-as-Creation,
lock arms,
and defend Earth’s sacred ground
with the courage
of unconditional love.

When hatred, horror, and cruelty
set the world ablaze,
the mystic knows society’s fires
simply mirror the narrative
of a few angry males,
like two drunks fighting outside a bar
over grievances long forgotten.
Humanity begs for another
kind of response.
Consider…
Walt Whitman,
acting from sacred perception,
devoted his mysticism to nursing Civil War soldiers
in hospitals and battlefields
all the while knowing he had no control over
the outcome of humanity’s latest nightmare.
Psychologist Victor Frankl,
imprisoned in a concentration camp,
with love and attention his only resources,
provided comfort and hope to others
by finding meaning in love.
Here’s my prayer…
May we merge
mystical consciousness with
God-as-Creation
and love
as Creation loves
by healing wounds with tender new growth.
May we offer
love-as-action
until the terrible cost of violence
brings people to their knees and
humanity wakes up.

We stand paralyzed before
a hard-barreling train
carrying the massive freight
of warfare and climate disasters,
polluted landscapes and human desperation.
Its impact – fierce, powerful, terrifying –
already disrupts our lives.
We tremble in the face of
multiplying catastrophes.
Perhaps a new vision will rise from
the marriage of mystical awakening
and Earth wisdom.
Listen:
The sacred world is already here,
divine and conscious.
Do you see it?
As humanity’s arrogance fails,
open your consciousness to the guidance
of Spirit, ancestors, and love.
Get ready to move
from heartbreak and loss
to the new work of Creation.

Democracy is burning.
What is the mystic’s response
to this metastasizing evil?
It begins again by
experiencing,
worshipping,
and
serving
God-as-Creation
to embody
its love, joy, and creativity.
Here we find
God as Reality,
God as Love,
and God as our own being.
To confront fascism,
we also challenge our belief in death.
Once you realize
the World of Man is an illusion
with death its central archetype,
you will see through the present ugliness
into
the underlying fabric of divine life.
Your awakening to the sacred world
will ignite the courage to stand strong
against purveyors of hatred and death.
They can kill illusion,
they can kill our temporary incarnations,
but they can’t kill God.
They can’t kill our souls.
In these dire times,
we stand inside God,
animated by God,
lived by God,
to love Creation as our own being.
What should we do?
Wake up.
Fill ourselves with sacred weapons:
love, compassion, and joy.
Act.
