Atom and Eve

Each of us is an Atom in the cosmic body upon the Eve of reconciliation.

Breaking Out of the Drain Suck Into the Radiant Sun

Consciousness is formed by life turning back upon itself, producing a reflection. A seemingly endless series of "selfies" begins. This is what is called the formation of the ego, of a separate self so sweet and so fragile, so self-condemnatory and self-justifying. If this is all that happens, the continuously reverberating self-gaze, this Narcissus, falls into a hypnotic trance and is bypassed by the ongoing flow of Life. All spiritual practices are designed to break one out of this drain suck, form a non-suck center, a center of balance and openness that radiates outward in all directions with simultaneous outflow and inflow. This "sun" that we become shines its light on everything without prejudice and simultaneously gives and receives with no or little effort on its part. We become an interflow, an interflow with a firm and open center.

spiritual energy

Spiritual energy is powerful. The spiritual energies of Moses, of Jesus, of Buddha, of Khidr who lived so long ago continue to reverberate, to circulate, to influence this very moment. We all have and are spiritual energy. What is spirit? Spirit is the Life Force itself, that which moves through and as all living things. And every "thing" is alive -- from the metagalactic to the subatomic. We humans appear to be the ones most aware of the energy we are, with the ability to transform its quality, to direct it. We have and are spiritual energy. We are embodyings of the Life Force itself. We are spheres of influence with the power to change all around us with the quality of our radiance. This is what we do. This is who we are. This is how we transform the world.

Evolve or die

We are somewhat intelligent apes who are conquering the earth and in so doing are destroying it. We must evolve or die. Either way we will not stay the same as we are now. Evolve how? Evolve a greater awareness of our interflow with all that is. And more than that, evolve a greater skill of relationship, of actively relating with all that is while doing no harm. A tall order for the crude consciousnesses of today. I see it in individuals, in neighborhoods, in communities here and there: this transformation of awareness and skill. Tough times ahead while those who refuse or are incapable die off and the ones of greater awareness move on.

Uprising

The uprising of the energies of Life have been in play for longer than any of us can remember or precast, beyond our scope, beyond our comprehension. The errant strivings of a relatively small number of fleshy bipeds will not divert its course. Life has birthed consciousness and consciousness will prevail. The humans that are the bearers and the radiance of this consciousness have the powers of Life with them and cannot be dissuaded, discouraged, or defeated. A silent evolution / revolution behind and above the clamor of the world. Awareness rising upward and outward grounded in the Origin.

On Christianity

Jesus is the bell star sounding the way for those lost at sea in the great flotational unfolding of the cosmos, of this universe which began its slow motion explosion some 15 billion years ago. Little blips having forgotten that we are the Origin originating, the Source sourcing, the Wellspring springing, turn to him, to his sounding. We shed all doctrinal clothing. He pulls open his chest and reveals his heart. We dive in, dive in to the heart of the cosmos. Ah! Now we remember, re-member. We are the community, the communal, one of the infinite number of centers re-presenting the Father, the Mother. We are the Father furthering, the Mother mothering. We swoop and dive like porpoises in the Infinite Bliss. We are the Bliss Itself.
