This Might Make You Angry but I Don't Care

-

                        Contrary to popular theology, God isn't very interested in our suffering, or in our stories of trauma and victimhood. We invest so much energy in these stories, yet they keep telling themselves more insistently, without healing or resolution. Why? Because what we focus on just grows louder in our life. The truth is, there are wondrous souls who carry more pain than you will ever know, but they don't preach or whine about it. Their eyes gleam with Presence. Their bodies radiate forgiveness. Their hearts gleam with courage. And for every traumatic event in the world, there are 10,000 acts of kindness, of gentleness, which the media will never record. The Divine attention is not attracted to our suffering, but to the humbled courage of a loving heart. God listens when we sing, not when we complain. Mother Mary enfolds us in her lap. And Christ pours out beams of joy, healing grace, ecstatic energy, pe...

New Heaven, New Earth

-

The Biblical book of Revelation tells us that a “new heaven and a new earth” will be created. This actually refers to your awakened mind and the transmuted energy of your body. The very quality of your awareness will be clarity, light, and joy. Little thinking will be required, as most problems will be solved by your intuition, on the subtlest level of feeling. The alchemy of your perception will transform the earth around you into a new state of matter: the state of Glory. You will have a glorified body, but you won't need to die and go to heaven to embody it. You create the Resurrection body now by raising the vibrations of your energy to a higher frequency. This is the purpose of art, music, chant, breath-work, service, and meditation. But it is essential to stop paying so much attention to your trauma and your outrage. What we focus on only increases in our life. Investing energy in our trauma does not heal it. Focusing on anger only feeds its fire. To begin releasing ...

Message

-

Everything in this world is a message from that one. And where is that world with its  towhee  song, first scent of lilac, slow wise pulse of ancient stones? Deep inside your chest. That is where the wings  of a hummingbird churn this blinding sunbeam into billions of love atoms. Where you breathe in forests, meadows, mountains, clouds, the desolation of Gaza, the playground littered with Fentanyl and infected needles. And you breathe out the friendship  of the Beloved. Is this not your duty? To create a new earth from the flames that pour from your wounded heart? Image: wallpaper from Stockcake

Not Lost

    You are not lost. I am not lost. We are right here. Each of us exactly where we need to be in order to wake up. Here, in the stillpoint at the center of chaos. Or did you want to go back to sleep for a hundred more lifetimes? No, here is the only place where awakening happens. Here is the "holy place" which Jesus spoke of.* Here is the centerpoint of the Cross where all the opposites converge - heaven and hell, pain and beauty, male and female, past and future. You cannot awaken at a Yoga retreat on a tropical island, or on a seventh dimensional world with the ascended masters, because that is not Where You Are Right Now. And you cannot understand this chaos with your intellect, your politics, your endless conspiracy theories. "Figuring it out" is not why you were born on this planet of opposites. You were born to practice a much deeper alchemy: to discover that this confusion is not who You are. Deeply truly witnessing the chaos releases you from ...
