In Spirit's Time

Don't stop thinkin' about tomorrow, it'll soon be here better than before. Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone. ~ Fleetwood Mac I know this. That there is only this now moment, moving, ever moving. We call it life. We call it Love. We call it whatever It means to us, but it is divine sprit moving in, through, and as us, moving us ever forward into a greater expression of who and what we are. I choose to move, to dance, to be all that I can be. I surrender to the greater idea which desires to birth itself in me. I choose to dream, to vision, to envision a greater world which as each tomorrow becomes today, I say "Yes, this is my world," and "Yes, this is what I see." I surrender to its unfolding in perfect ways, knowing I don't need to know how, or why, but just that it is and it does out-picture in exactly the way it needs to be, and that all that comes from this realization leads us from where we were in the last moment to where we are...

It is the response we have, when we realize our world is a product of our thought process and accept the manifestations of our thoughts, no matter what they are. In all things be grateful. In Love & Light, Jim Spirit on the Road "Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you. Everything happens at exactly the right moment, neither too soon nor too late. You don't have to like it... it's just easier if you do." - Byron Katie

It's that time of year and for me anyway, that time of life. As the color of autumn gets deeper, so does the starkness of winter bring on the sense of dying to the old and through that incubation period or chrysalis stage to be reborn. Letting go of everything in your experience that doesn't serve you, complete dissolution of what has existed before in order that something radically new can be birthed. How hard it is to let go, to leave the comfort of the womb, but unless we give ourselves to it completely without any thoughts as to the outcome, we surely die. If the caterpillar resists burying itself within its self made sarcophagus, it will shrivel up, whither, and die. Even as it finishes its own tomb, wraps itself in its shroud, it begins to come apart, dissolve into its own imaginal or primordial soup. These cells know what to do, and in its connection back to Source, to its Divine Essence, a reformation and rebirth takes place bringing forth one of nature's most bea...

What was in the candle's light that opened and consumed me so quickly? Come back, my friend. The form of our love is not a created form. Nothing can help me, but that beauty. There was a dawn I remember when my soul heard something from your soul. I drank water from your spring and felt the current take me.  ~ Rumi Translation by Coleman Barks This Rumi poem recently brought up some strong feelings within me reaching out to many areas of my life, but none so profound as my relationship with Spirit, just as this relates to Rumi's relationship with "Shams of Tabriz."

When I received this "Press Release" from Rev. Dr. Kathy Hearn of our Sister Organization this morning, I felt compelled to put this on my blog. Not out of a sense of duty to the organization, but out of a sense of Divine Rightness. In a country founded of the precepts of all types of freedom, and especially Religious Freedom, we seem to have swept some of our beliefs under the rug, and allowed fear and righteousness creep in to take their place. jts From: Rev Dr Kathy Hearn, United Church of Religious Science Golden, CO.As the media frenzy around the controversy over a proposed mosque within blocks of Ground Zero has continued to grow, and verbal and physical attacks against Islamic people take place, I am struck with the thought that many Americans have forgotten some basic tenets of not only the U.S. Constitution, but also of civility and common decency. While I appreciate the raw feelings surrounding the site, which has rightly become sacred ground in the nine years since...

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. ~ Albert Einstein As I know there is One Source of all things, I know that this source is everywhere, everything, and I know It is within me creating my life by my word. I allow this All Good to create all that moves through me, all that is created in my experience, and all that out-pictures in others. I feel all that is good moving in my world and I feel at peace with the thoughts I have which create my world. In the Oneness that is, Is allow it to be. And in my gratitude, I sing praises to nature, from whence it all came. I am blessed. I release my Word and know it is done already. And so it is.

Quote: When we were children, we used to think that when we were grown-up we would no longer be vulnerable. But to grow up is to accept vulnerability... To be alive is to be vulnerable. --Madeleine L'Engle Affirmative Prayer: In allowing Source in me to guide me, I find myself in the flow. The Universe at my back urging me on, I move forward, ever forward to that place of complete surrender. From that place all things are possible. All things are within reach, because all things are within God. This is my truth. This is my recognition of the all good that is everywhere. I allow my challenges to show me what not to do or how to do it better, and I allow those things which came easy to guide me into even greater direction and awareness of myself, my world , and my design in it. I just allow, and I do it in complete gratitude, thank you Spirit. Thank you God, in me. And so it is, Amen.

My Quote: We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children. ~Native American Proverb The Affirmative Prayer:  I open to that which I am. I am an incident of the Divine. I am Whole, Complete, Perfect. I am made in the image and likeness of that source from which “I AM” birthed. In this moment I accept my charge. I accept the duty left to me. I accept the responsibility of Stewardship. No matter what anyone else says, Now!, or at any time , there is one truth and one truth only. I Am. There is no one else to do what needs to be done. “I am the only one who can assure the continuation of life on this planet. My thought says it all. I am the one, and this is the time. I allow that in me which must align with the infinitude of my larger self to do so. I drop the excuses that I’m not qualified, I loose the ideas from my mind, the One Mind, that I have not the power, and I set my intention, I fix my focus on the vision of a safe world, a pure world, ...

Quote: “I am.” – Question that. That is where the world ends, until what’s left comes back to explore the next concept.  ~ Byron Katie, A Thousand Names for Joy: Living in Harmony with the Way Things Are. The Affirmation: I am. There is only One. It is I AM. It is me. From within, so without. The difference is indistinguishable, as there is only I. Think Big, think Large, think Infinity, think One.  One thought, One Idea, of me, of the Universe, of God, of You. The difference, the no-thing. There is no separation, as there is no-thing to separate. I loose the me from the I am and observe. I see the thing I thought I was, the thought of me as thinker, the thought maker, the idea man. I see that, but am not that. I am only I am. I am no-thing. As I watch this unfold, I see “I am” anew. I see it as All things, and One. Only One. All perfect, all whole, all complete. Who am I? I am. No more, no less. I am not greater than or less than that which I Am.  Thankful in t...

Quote:: Truth is a uniquely challenging pursuit because the very thing that wants it is the only thing in the way of it. ~ Jed McKenna, Spiritual Enlightenment: The Damnedest Thing Affirmative Prayer:: I Am, Source, is All there is. I am one with my source, and All there is. Ego forms the illusion I call me. I choose in this moment to release me from my illusory self, to die to the idea that everyone, including me, thought I was, and be open to the greater idea of my god-self.   I release anything and everything which identifies in my life with fear that I might step into that place spiritually, mentally physically, and knowingly, where all miracles are commonplace events and my life is forever in the flow. I choose this place of being that allows me to entertain and be entertained by life every moment of every day. This is my life. Where work is joy, and play is joyous and I see no difference between the two.   There is only one life, It is mine to choose, I choose it w...

There is this place which seems so foreign to me, that I need to talk about. It's victim-hood. Allowing ourselves to be a victim. Why would we do that? By feeling victimized we allow something external to us determine our course, and it's usually not rational. There are no victims. Only individuals who choose to think of themselves as such. I have a friend, who, when I first met her and we talked about my spiritual beliefs, said I've always believed this way, but never realized anyone else did. She shared with me that she had been stabbed, shot and raped, but never felt that she was a victim and moved on out of the darkness of the moment into the knowing that those actions were not her. She is a vibrant, happy, well rounded and vital member of her community. She is prosperous, happy and on the move with her career and her life. The point is, we don't need to dwell on those things that have happened "to" us in the past, because it is over and done, and only e...

The longer I am on this earth, the more I understand the significance of this holiday and the ideas conveyed from the Cruci-fiction story. And No, that's not a typo. And, it's timing of taking place in the Spring is no coincidence either. To me, it's a melding of the Christian and Earth based Spiritualities into one "story" of dying to the old, releasing and allowing the new to be rebirthed in each of us, and in the planet. In order for anything in nature to be renewed each year, it must release that which no longer serves them, whether it's winter coats, or old leaves or dead branches, in order that the new glory of Spring can express the magnificent colors of Spring and Summer. With us, in order for us to move on with our lives in any way, we must allow the stale, old, unserving ideas of yesterday go, in order for new ideas to be birthed in us.These ideas can be ideas of unworthiness, lack, dis-ease, dis-ability, anything which keeps us from stepping out o...

  Wow! I've been over a month without a new treatment. Time flies when you're movin' around. It's not that I haven't been writing them or doing them, I just haven't been sharing them here. I am going to make up for that and this is number 1. What better way than to start with Heart's Desire. That thing you wish to have express in your life above all else. To be "born again" as a completely new idea of yourself! Quote: "Here is a central tenet of the New Spirituality: the purpose-and the greatest opportunity and gift--of life is to recreate yourself anew in the next grandest version of the greatest vision you ever held about Who You Are. And you can do this in every single golden moment of Now. The time of your transformation is at hand. It is always at hand." ~Neale Donald Walsch Affirmative Prayer: I recognize the One in everything around me. I know It is waiting for me to become in total awareness of my inner being, the I AM in m...

Quote: The breezes at dawn have secrets to tell you. Don't go back to sleep.  ~Jalaluddin Rumi Affirmative Prayer: In the silence and the quiet of the early morning I connect to my Source. Upon awakening, as if from a dream, I dive into the delicious silence which is the Self. It is within this quiet space I connect. I really connect. While I am always connected, I am oft-times distracted by the world and doing, but, in the pre-light of the expectant dawn, I find myself focused. From the one I, I see my truth, that of a perfect health, perfect abundance in all things, and the perfect peace of the everywhere present Creator, of which I Am all things, in which I am ever immersed, and with which I am never separate. Dear God, I am blessed! Thank you Spirit, I amid humbled. I am laid forth at the altar of my faith, knowing this creation which is my life is in its perfect place.  I knead my world into a space, which I out-picture as peaceful, loving, and prosperous to every cor...

I seek the New each day, in the present moment of the New Me! Quote: “There is a force within that gives you life--Seek that. In your body there lies a priceless jewel-Seek that. Oh, wandering Sufi, if you are in search of the greatest treasure, don't look outside, Look within, and seek That." ~Jalaluddin Rumi Prayer: I am that, and in that I Am. There is no sparation, only One. In this One I live, move and have my being. Our paths are one. Our sight is  One and our Purpose is One. There is only Good and this Good is in and of me. I tap this well of infinite expression and outpour the love of that which is in me to all the world. I stretch my concepts to the universe and beyond. I release the ideas of time and space, of form and limitation, and open my mind into the nothingness from wence It all came. In the quantum field of life I find myself alone, gloriously alone. One! From the singularity of the One I view the world and see the shift. All is in flux, all is in t...
