Remaining Centered in the Truth that Pervades all of Creation

As we continue to listen, feel and act in God, (as within and without), there will be times when such movement will make no logical sense, either to ourselves or others.

Regardless, souls on this path have learned to listen. Eventually the need to ‘make sense,’ of anything and everything is replaced with an utter and complete trust in the moment; not of the blind sort, but rather in the God that permeates each moment.

Learning to trust ourselves in this way comes through much trial and error. This is not a path for the faint of heart by any means. The saints were not pussy footin’ around. They worked their booty’s off in order to realize the truths they inherently felt as within. When we are listening, truly listening, we are feeling and making every effort to walk in accordance with the Divine Will that is infused within each moment.

Let’s not mistake this for clothing our personal will in God’s will, and using that as an excuse to live out our personal will at the expense of others. That is what is meant when we speak of using God’s name in vain, (amongst other examples), not saying ‘Jesus Christ’ when we find ourselves surprised, for Christ sake ;)! I am not Christian but I love Jesus, Buddha, Lao Tzu, St. Francis, I love many saints and choose to walk with them all as I walk through each day. It lends depth of perspective to each moment.

Often, we’ve learned ever more of these truths by spending years upon years learning to ‘let-go in presence and trust’ so that we could experience what this means in actuality. It was during such times of letting-go, the times when we may not have wanted to let-go in trust, and we did, that we got to learn a bit more about the greater Reality that pervades all of creation.

We are not separate from one another. Letting-go is just another story that seeks release from the hold of our minds. In this earthly reality, we simply cannot be physically present with everyone in creation, and we must learn to listen. We must learn to be fully present right where we are. In this way, we are blessed with the direct experience of Divinity; Divinity in motion as we walk through and experience this world.

You chose to be the horizon (as that is what you Are) and to continue expanding in your truest nature. You continue to make this choice each and every day. You chose to expand beyond self in the knowing that all of creation is ours and yet not ours at the same time. You realize that you are the path. You are the song that is being sung, as they say. You are learning so very much about the beauty of existing in a body in this world of form; you are learning that you are not your body, that you are not your thoughts or your mind; you are learning to see the God in Self and in all.

More or less, at various times in your life, you have learned to listen, to attune to a deeper truth. You have learned to allow this truth to guide you. You realize the many shifts that have taken place in your depth of experiencing and be-ing in this world, and you continue to see such shifts as you participate in life. You’ve realized this through learning to be more fully present, and through having observed and participated in times of both listening and not listening, doing and not doing. You have found that there is no other way for your Soul; there is no turning back. There is not a thing that you could fathom that is sweeter than remaining in alignment with God, and you realize as you listen that this is exactly how you get to remain God-centered. This is a deep blessing. Know ThySelf. Trust ThySelf. We get better at listening as we realize, through experience, that our animating force is something far greater than the knowing of our minds and bodies alone.

There is always so much more to learn and enjoy!

We get to learn by listening, observing, participating, and be-ing. What an abundant way to walk through this world.

Patience is a virtue. Choose kindness more often than not. This world is moving at such a fast pace now a days. Technology has sped things up to an extent that we can get lax and think that relating can be done through a computer alone, and while we may meet some beautiful, deep connections in this way, (I certainly have over the years), it is still good to get out there and interact with people in person. Put down your i-phone, stop taking calls, and be fully present with the people in your life.

Say hello to people who pass you by on the street. After all, they are, each and every one of them, another you. Choose to be the calm in the chaos. We are capable of thinking first, rather than reacting harshly to situations that may arise in a given days time. For example, when someone pulls out in front of you in traffic, you can either choose to allow yourself to get upset, or you can think thus arriving at the understanding that most likely the person did not cut you off on purpose. Reacting from our primitive brain is so not where it’s at. We are much more capable than that. If a car is stalled on the freeway, do you want to be the person who honks or the one who wonders if the passengers are okay? It is your choice, and that choice will dictate your ability to be present in each moment as a Light or as a pain in the arse [couldn’t and didn’t resist ;)]— choose wisely, life is short. Heaven is all around, attune to it.

When we are devoted to such truth, this self-training teaches us to move from a place that is far greater than the ego alone. The ego moves through the world in ways that are solely based upon personal likes and dislikes. Don’t limit yourself! There is so much more to life.

A person devoted to this path knows, and all too well, that they do not want to be limited in such ways. Walking in such ways is akin to cutting off the nose to spite the face. You are more than well aware that you would be missing out on so very much beauty in life if you chose any other way. This knowing is what has propelled you in this direction to begin with, and you have learned to listen.

As we learn to listen, to truly listen, with no apologies, defenses, distractions or excuses, We Are Free. The way of the walk shifts forever. Then, it gets deeper. It is not all flowers and fairies — that is for sure.

Practice not lending focus to things that serve in distracting your energy or attention from your internal God focus. Simply practice allowing people and situations to be as they are. Some things, as we all know, are much less distracting to us than others. However, with practice these ‘things’ will become less and less distracting, for you will begin to see the God in them.

Along the way we must trust our inner knowing. This is what keeps us aligned to our own paths in God. It is actually quite a simple practice. ‘If it is not God-ordained it drains.’ These words hold much depth and truth. Meditate upon these words to allow the mind to expand to the place that is just beyond them. So long as we are moving in the ‘me,’ vibration of experiencing alone, we will find ourselves drained; this also happens when our bodies need a rest, and that is not something to ignore. As we realize, more and more, how we are not the doer and allow Spirit to flow through us, we will feel energetically heightened. This is true no matter what you are experiencing in life. The experience can ‘appear’ as good, bad, or in between, and we can remain centered in God. However, being in bodies, we do need to listen and set boundaries along the way, as well. Our bodies are our temples.

Trust in your personal relationship with God. Your relationship with God is all that matters in the long run. There is nothing that God/dess does not see, not a thing. Find solace in this truth and walk on. Aum.
