A current of light
electrifies the heart day and night
regulating rate and rhythm.
But it’s much more.
Light suffusing Creation is the same light
that creates the sacred heart of compassion
in the awakened one.
It all leads back to love.
When the heart breaks
and confidence in the future crumbles,
we are left alone in the shattered moment with God.
But, if we try, we can feel holiness surrounding us,
gently caressing body and soul.
Collapsed in sacred embrace,
we breathe deeply,
inhaling spirit
then we rise and go into the day,
fire rekindled until the next shock
calls us back into the mystical presence.
Again and again we learn
God is more available, and known more deeply,
in defeat than victory.
In addressing humanity’s dream of suffering and injustice,
three sacred paths stand before us –
prophet, bodhisattva, or buddha.
A prophet, outraged at violence to the sacred dream, acts powerfully
to improve humanity’s conditions.
A bodhisattva, nearly realized, remains in the dream
to help others awaken.
And a buddha, fully awakened, dwells in the pure state of Sunyata,
seeing through the insubstantial nature of all dreams.
Each is a valid state of consciousness.
Each a profound service to the world.
Go where your spirit calls.
When I say I am God,
I harness the greatest power of all:
LOVE
Some say saving one life
is equivalent to saving an entire universe,
and I agree. But to me,
the world is already perfect and holy,
we just don’t see it.
Our ultimate work as activists is to wake up.
Caught in a drama projected onto God’s flowing Creation,
we are the architects of the world’s unhappiness.
We are the bully, the tyrant, the monster, the greedy.
Recognizing this tragic farce, let us
awaken from our collective dream.
When the thought-world ceases,
we see each other’s divinity
and discover a world of love.
Mystics tell us that Cosmos and Self are one.
In transmuting self into Self we bring the experience
of the entire sacred Cosmos into humankind.
God’s presence then spreads through humanity
like wind through quaking aspens,
vibrating with the same frequency.
Work on yourself, you wake up others.
Our whole being is primed for enlightenment.
In divine unity, I am one with the One.
Because the energy of being is love,
every loving action affects the whole.
I offer all the love you ever needed.
Be in your being and spread it to others.
Watch transformation happen.
God is not interested in power,
wealth, or winning.
Divine love rains down on everyone.
Entering God’s nature, we act from love.
Worshipping power and wealth, we grow numb.
Anyone using God’s name for political purposes
does not understand God.
Love unites lovers on all sides.
Some work in the outer world,
others in the inner.
Because they are one,
neither is superior.
Let love’s expression show
in whatever you do.
Work where your love flows.
I Am God
