I’ve just had what I consider to be a momentary glimpse, a trailer, a preview of the space of the Father. Though brief, it was a genuine moment of seeing, a peak moment. I neither want to overplay nor underplay it. I learned much from the experience. After it had passed, I found myself being […]
I am a Timeless Being
I am a timeless being. Everyone is a timeless being. We step into and out of physical bodies. We look out from every pair of eyes. We manipulate the levers of our human form. And then, when it’s no longer needed, we step out of the body and carry on. We return to the beginning, […]
A Stranger in Paradise
June 3, 2011 I must finish this write-up of the two experiences I had at a recent meditation retreat, not because they’re interesting unto themselves but because you may find yourself facing the same experiences. As I said earlier, I firmly believe that we wouldn’t be enjoying 2012 blogs and discussion groups unless we were […]
There is a Place Called “Normal”
There’s a place called “Normal.” It’s also called “Original Innocence” and “the Natural Self.” In this place, the experience of love is normal. The experience of fear is not. In it, the experience of safety is normal. The experience of dread is not. In it, the desire to share is normal. The desire to hoard […]
First Glimpse of the Natural Self
I had my first glimpse of the natural Self today. The duration of it would have been the same as the time passed looking at faces in the crowd as the train pulls away. There were the obstructions – thoughts and feelings – and then, in the space between them, there was the default, the […]
Our Normal, Natural Selves: Nothing Added and Nothing Taken Away
I can see a time when our global society “returns to normal.” Can you imagine the impact that would have on us? To leave the house and not lock the door? I can remember when we did. Everything delivered to your front porch and never stolen. Lock your bike? No. Why? That was normal and, […]
Divine Alchemy
I’ve now had the kundalini rise to my crown chakra, again due to work I’m doing with a clairsentient and the rising energies. But I know, without having to ask, that the Company of Heaven is muting the experience. (1) They are because I need to remain here, with my feet on the ground. So […]
Zen, Business, and the Natural State
I’m back in my natural state again today. It occurred during the middle of having a Skype-message chat with Andrea. For the third time, I was already in it before I realized I was. So first the state and then the recognition of it. What that means is that the student of awareness has an […]
A Walk in My Original State
I’m experimenting with walking in the natural space, my original state. I notice the pace is much, much slower than my normal pace. My normal pace raises thoughts in my mind related to taking care, going over the worry de jour, etc. I’m not relaxed when I walk at my normal pace. At this slower […]
Just Me
What do I have to offer thee? Just me. What else is there to offer, ever? Nothing more, nothing less. Just me. Throw everything out that wasn’t tied down. Take away all that needs maintenance, all that requires growing, feeding, tending. What have you left? Just me. Get below everything that varies from day to […]
Standing Forth as the Self
As you know, there are many ways of becoming realized. (1) I could sit down on a cushion and meditate. I could serve the Lord. I could sing Her Praises. These are all well-known paths. But I think you know that mine is the awareness path and the result of following that path is emergence. […]
The Day After: Reflections on a Rude Shock
I wanted to say more about the unusual experience I had on Saturday, which has proven so revealing. (1) During that experience, I felt more power surge through me than I ever have felt in my life and could ever contemplate feeling. It took my experience of life to dimensions that I could not have […]
