Can You See It?

  "The eye is the light of the body. If your eye be single then your whole body will be filled with light." ~Mat 6:22 Can you see it? Yes, but with another eye, the Single Eye that illumines everything. The breath of consciousness swirls every galaxy. A spark of consciousness kindles every star. Beams of consciousness green the grass blade. The gravity of consciousness rounds a dust mote. The bliss of consciousness charges an electron. Every particle wave-woven  from photons of joy! Your mind a ripple in the ocean of consciousness. Your body a flame that dances  in the bonfire of consciousness.  What is your Heart?  The silent secret chamber,  so dark in the beginning, where you behold, more golden than ten thousand suns, Consciousness itself.

Worry is the past and future. The mind of worry is the mind of time. And time is made of your thoughts. When thoughts of the past and future dissolve, there is no time, no worry.   On this Sabbath morning, for a few minutes, or at least for a breath, can you relinquish the past and future, let go of stories, and simply feel this inhalation, this exhalation? Not in your mind, for that is only the concept of “breathing,” but in your chest, as pure sensation. Put your hand on your solar plexus, with tender love, in the valley just below your beating heart, just above your belly. This is the valley of prayer. Feel the rise and swell, then the fall and kenosis, “...
