We Are Soulmates

We are tethered - pushing and pulling each other through our re-awakening and evolution through time.

Our connection to each other is Eternal.

It never severs.  It is only forgotten, or ignored or denied.  It's still there.

Love never dies.  It always was and always will be.

Sam I Am

At times I feel like “Sam I Am,”

From the story Green Eggs and Ham.

“Take it- here: I give you Love

Sent to you from up above.

Try it, try it, you will see

How indeed it sets you free.”

Crossed arms and blinded to this Gift

You stand quite confident

that trying Love is trivial;

You’d rather just stay by the pool.  

Or waste away another day, 

in hopes of more and better pay;

Or sing about a love gone lost, and drink another beer.

And in your desperate waiting, lose that which is right here.

As Sam I Am, I hop up close,

And tap you on your shoulder;

I nudge you quietly at first,

Then throw a big fat boulder.

“Get up, get out, get down-inside!

Your complacency is caging.

While you grumble about getting old,

All you’re doing is aging.

You’ll spin around again, again,

Offered the Lesson each time,

Until you take that leap of faith

And live in the sublime.

What ails you so

Is not there.

There is no suffering.

And when you learn to release that pain,

You’ll find your Home again.”

As Sam I Am I poke and prod

And gently do I murmur,

“Wake up, you sleepy-head,

And know I’m in your corner.

For when you tire of this lame game,

And wishing it were over,

Succumb to Love, my precious dove,

And realize it’s your Power."

I kiss you softly on your head
and remind you in a dream,
that what you want is what you have
if all you'll do is see.

Again I remind you,
as you wake up,
your knowing growing stronger,
the time is Now, it is not then, for then, it is no longer.

I offer you the food you seek,
for this sustenance is Real.
A plate, a platter, a feast with forks-
Let's all enjoy the meal!

A knowing smile plays on my lips,
you know it looks Divine.
If craving had what craving wants
then this would be the pie.

"Have a bite, and take a nibble,
just tasting is the key.

Try it, try it- beloved One- for you are meant to see
that Love is really who you are and all you want to be."

Daily Devotional

Hold my heart steadfastly to Yours
so that I may not be tempted by things which are meaningless.

My ears are pressed to Your lips.
I hear Your Voice; it is my first thought.

I align myself with You.
We are One.

Meditation: Song of Solomon 7:10

I am my Beloved's and his desire is for me.

My Beloved sees me as I am; I am his moon and stars.  My delight is his.

With love, with care, with joyful song, I prepare the banquet that is ours.

Feasting with passion, We are One, bound eternally.

Should dark shadows billow and blanket the world, disturbingly distorting what is true, We Are inseparably united. 

I am my Beloved.  My Beloved is me. 

He is my moon and stars.  His delight is mine.

This is the Peace which does transcend whatever illusions of separation the world may produce.

Life is a Metaphor

Know this: What you do to others you do to yourself

Let others be your reflective guide in how you treat everyone at all times.  You prove who you are by how you interact with others.

This is why you have an effect in the world and how you can see a reflection of yourself.  Your effort, whether active or passive, has sway on those around you.

This is why you are the change that you wish to see.

Consciously be the change you want have mirrored back to you by others.

Life is a Metaphor

Nature, symbols, beliefs are all synthesized into what you want to perceive.  Do you want to see beauty?  Put that out there.  Be beautiful.  Create beauty.  Revel and rejoice in the beauty that you see all around you and be grateful for its gift to you. 

This is how you perpetuate beauty and anything that you truly wish to see.

Do you wish to perpetuate misery?

Do you see yourself as miserable?

Do you see others as miserable?

Do you perpetuate fear?

Do you see yourself as afraid or others as fearful?

Do you perpetuate scarcity?

Do you perceive yourself as poor or others as poor?

Do you perpetuate kindness?  Are you kind to yourself and others?

Do you accelerate sincere prosperity?

Do you give freely and with a sincere heart? 

Be what you want.

Now- think about what it is that you truly do want and let's start with that.

Do you want recognition?

You know what to do here. 

Do you want to be treated with respect?

Do you want to be surrounded by people you trust?

See these qualities in them.  All it takes is recognition.

What do you want?  What do you want to see in the world?

What To Do When Relationships Seem Imbalanced

"But I'm doing all of this - I'm pouring love into the world and not getting it back.  What's wrong?  Why aren't things balanced?"

Your receiving is blocked because you do not see yourself as valuable and worthy of it.

Know you are worthy.  Love yourself.  See yourself with respect and know your integrity, even if it seems hidden to others.  Your confidence lays in how you treat yourself.

What are you enabling when you allow others to disrespect and devalue you?

What are you modeling as acceptable behavior when you accept this?  You are making it real by accepting it and not lovingly correcting it.

"How do I lovingly correct this imbalance?"

Again, be the change you wish to see.

Your actions are the modeling that others need to see - but they may choose not to.  You still need to be true to them and also to yourself.

"How do I achieve this?"

Put yourself in their position.  If you needed your help, what would you want yourself to do about it?  Would you want to be treated with respect?  Treat them with loving respect, and treat yourself with loving respect.  Sometimes this means time apart so that they do not rely on you for keeping their own imbalance.  They may need other peoples' support, and you always can love them without bounds.  You simply do not wish to continue to enable their powerlessness, or jealousy, or denial, or anger, or fear.

"Will they be saved from themselves if I'm not there to help them?"

Yes, but you need to give them a chance to do this.  See in them how strong they can be and know that they really are.  

Know that all shall be well.

Sometimes it takes a long time for the person you love to detoxify from the noxious prison they've shrouded themselves in for so long.  Your love and devotion, patience and kindness will lend them strength.

You See Yourself Within Me

You recognize me because you are me.
You see yourself within me.
You recognize the Divinity within me,
which is also in you;
And we cannot help but rejoice in the recognition.
