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.
