Thought for the day

Just be in peace at One with God.

A Prayer

God, let me be the instrument through which love comes

In all my interactions, in all my wanderings, in all my days

Let me speak purely from your mouth, your words, which become my words,

to others

And let no other thoughts, feelings, let nothing interfere

Let me live from that place of joy, not pain

Let me see all as the innocence that they are

Let me help those who cannot help themselves

For I have an unbounding flow of love and acceptance to give.

Thought for the day

Who I am is unimportant, that I Am is of importance.

A Prayer

There is only One

One me and one you

Merged together

Pray for the two to become One

Live it and it shall be

O Holy One

See all as yourself

See yourself as none

Then you shall be true

To your divine nature

Day 80 Soul Journey to Love: 100 Days to Inner Peace and Being at One with God

You are beauteous beyond compare

You are One with all

As the petal of the flower unfolds

So does your mind

The answer deep within

Watch your self disappear

Watch the world around you do so too

And be in that space of harmony

Where there is only light

Then you will be

Just be

A Prayer

Day 61 Soul Journey to Love

Let me sit in stillness

The silence surrounds

Darkness is outside

Inside is illumined

Joy and allowing

Love and peace

Let my heart and mind

Abide here as one. 

Silence

“The universe within your mind is greater than the one outside it.”

This is the penultimate line from the Day 60 lesson, something I have always known.

I used to sit in silent meditation, waiting for a great revelation to come. I can’t recall how many years I did that – I started meditating circa 1976. People I met over the course of time who meditated told me of the marvelous experiences they had and I just had emptiness, a vastness, a blackness, nothing, no-thing. For a while, a long while, I thought I was doing something wrong, that the astral journeys and spiritual experiences others were having was just not open to me. I just enjoyed the emptiness.

As I studied more healing techniques – qigong, the esoteric use of sound and color, acupuncture, etc., etc., I had more ‘mystical’ experiences, but I realized these were only another step back into the silence. Once a few years ago during a meditation after being in a group with a chanting master I experienced the land of no-breath. The only thought that came to me was that breathing was optional, there was no difference between physically being here or not. It was a little like dying I suppose.

When I studied the Voice for Love technique, which is really just extending love to all one’s own thoughts, blending with one’s higher self/Holy Spirit/God and asking a question, that is when I learned that there was a clear communication from Spirit which was very open to me. For me it has been through words and now through painting. I do not ask any questions, Spirit speaks to me and through me if I want. Otherwise I just sit every morning in silence and spend the day quieting my mind when I notice it is running away from me, the True me.

As I have been reading about some of my Facebook friends (see Regina Dawn Akers’ posts) who are embarking on a year of silence, I salute you. My job requires talking although now that I am doing only geriatric work with those who no longer communicate much verbally, I have little to say too.  

Although I am now feeling a need to communicate more from what I have learned from being in this state of openness, and having written a book from that empty space, for those of you who are going into silence, you will find an inner joy and peace, the vastness that I have always known but thought I was missing something.

It is everything.
