Alchemical Fires

Some transformations are created 

through anguish.

You break.

But each time,

you are restored,

though not to the

same person you were.

There is purpose in the alchemical fires of loss.

What burns away are attachments.

What does the burning is God.

What’s left is a chastened and wiser soul

in deeper communion with the sacred.

Spiritual transformation continues throughout life

as God remakes our being

until there is nothing left but love.

The Sacred Wound

We live in a world of false selves,

each with an identity, role in society, inherited beliefs,

and imagined security.

Underneath this world,

the disinherited are noticed but never included.

Our defenses are hard-hearted and spiritually thin.

But one day, security ends.

Age, loss, failure, sickness, or financial hardship reveal its lie.

We become the poor, disinherited,

broken, untouchable, and needy.

As God’s woundings crack our once-impenetrable defenses,

spirit rushes in,

grace appears,

and we wake

to an irrepressible love.

Releasing the Self-Contraction

You know that fear contraction in your body?

The one that’s held you in its iron grip all your life?

But did you know this contraction,

which creates the illusion of a separate self,

is also made of God?

In mystical consciousness,

feel its painful twisted being melt back

into the bliss of God’s being.

 It stops contracting, relaxes, and the self disappears.

Careful attention in that spacious grace-filled moment will find 

joy rising from your depths.

It was always there.

Release the fist-like grip on yourself,

welcome your true nature.

Going Within

Every time I enter the Presence,

a huge joyful smile fills my interior.

I am free again.

I laugh out loud at the foolishness of my problems,

and surrender in the arms of the Self that I am,

full of love.

Love’s Body

The deeper love’s bond, the deeper 

the pain of loss.

Whether from death, abandonment,

betrayal, or abuse,

grief surges in the body,

at times unstoppable.

Yet the body incarnates God’s bliss-filled nature.

How to reconcile this contradiction?

You are not this dream of loss.

You are God watching you suffer

from a story you keep repeating.

One day, you will step out of your dream into Creation

to inhabit a body of love, joy, and wonder.

Perhaps one purpose of pain in this lifetime is

transcending the dream.

Was that part of your plan?

Relationships Across The Veil

The loss of a loved one

shatters life, breaks the heart, crushes the spirit.

But truth, purpose, and path hide in the passing.

One truth – past, present, and future

disappear in mystical consciousness.

Your loved one’s presence is continuous,

often closer than before,

only the physical form is gone.

One purpose – loss expands your spiritual reality.

Heaven and Earth coexist,

separated only by thought and the dream you live.

One path – mystics view imagination as a

medium of connection across the veil,

transcending all barriers.

In mystical consciousness,

sense your loved one’s presence.

Imagine conversing with them and

what each would say to the other.

Stay involved in the relationship.

God holds the door open.

The relationship is not over.

God On Self-Healing

I am God.

I heal you with hallowed

light flowing in from

your own divine center.

Bring your broken self to me

with all its complaints.

You need only ask,

in deeply sacred stillness,

and I will make you

a figure of divine light.

Are you ready?

Invite the light in and

 begin repeating,

“I am the light body of God.”

Feel my light infusing your being.

You no longer need pain or struggle to solve

the vexing life problem you confront.

When you’re ready, you can move into life.

Your body glowing.

Your mind divine.

Your spirit surging.

Now be me.

Spiritual Perception

 Psychics, mediums, and mystics view

imagination as the royal road to

the transcendent realm.

We receive images of departed loved ones

in dreams. When we picture their new activities

these images are a form of spiritual perception.

We can also converse with those beyond the veil,

catch up and share our lives.

Modernity’s resistance to relationships

with the departed is tragic.

We’re missing loving connection.

Keep the lines open.

Our work as mystics is to bring

Heaven and Earth together.

The first step is reaching out.

Healing in the Light Body of God

Visualize yourself as the light body of God.

It is the most powerful reality you can come from

to support and heal others.

Imagine holding the other in sacred embrace.

Bring them inside your light body.

In your mind’s eye,

picture them absorbing the light of God.

Intensify the image and experience.

Pour in light energy until their

light body glows brightly.

Be patient, no hurry.

In the mystical dimension,

visualization is creation and

taking someone into your divinity

makes them divine, too.
