Recently I convinced myself that I was in desperate need of an Inception. (I don’t know if you have seen the movie, but I hope you have. If you have not, I have provided a summary of the relevant points at the bottom of this post. I’ve tried not to get too carried away and engage in any wanton acts of plot spoilage…) I wanted Jesus to go into my subconscious and ride around my […]
I went through a stage in this journey without distance in which I sought to find the ‘right path’ for myself. It was like I was evaluating a major purchase. I was given some good advice at the time, which basically went like this: “Pick one.” It was the best advice I could have received, because nothing really gets started without commitment. In fact, without commitment, it is impossible to learn to see what is […]
We talk a pretty mean game, here, in Separationville, but the reality is that we are wandering around this place only slightly better informed than a display case full of polished rocks- which is to say that our particular brand of ignorance has elegance and intelligence to it, something vital, a real panache that sets us apart from and at the top of this planet’s rambunctious collection of evolutionary byproducts. We know nothing in the […]
We are on “a journey without distance to a goal that has never changed.” We are, in other words, on a journey of inner transformation. There is nowhere for us to go, because in Truth we have never left our Home in God, but our experience tells us otherwise. Our experiences of our separated state- moments marked by or laden with fear in any of its forms- are painful, and contrasted with the deeply buried […]
Jesus dwells in Heaven these days. My guess is that you are aware of that. You may even have an idea of what that means. You may have a concept of Heaven. I do. From the outside, it looks like a pretty lovely place. Standing where I do, looking towards its shimmering reaches, it looks like it’s always running smoothly, like it never skips a beat. It glows unceasingly and when I walk near unto […]
A Course of Love states in a number of places that the world we have made is a distorted image of Creation, something close but not quite, an array of symbols that hearken to what we know is True while simultaneously and sadly lacking some critical ingredient. The Truth is echoed in this world we’ve made, but we’ve gotten something important twisted up. Inside out and upside down. We wanted to make something beautiful, and […]
Imagine you are perfect Love… Do it. Formless, holy, joyous, permanent, forever giving to everything and everyone and receiving from everything and everyone in a simultaneity and a bandwidth so wondrous that synchronicity feels like slow motion black and white, forever joined with all Creation, forever fulfilling your function in only the way that you can fill it, incredibly appreciated for fulfilling your function in only the way that you can fill it, incredibly appreciative […]
I’d been wanderin’ ‘et desert fer longer ‘an I could remember. It’s all I knew. Don’t ask me how I got ‘ere, crawlin’ on my belly suckin’ the dew off o’ rocks at dawn, fishin’ m’self ‘tween ‘e shadows o’ boulders, doin’ nothin’ but doin’ an’ re-doin’, ‘cuz I cain’t reckon it. Cain’t say as how I got there. The soles o’ my boots ‘es thin as parchment. I could feel each ‘n every grain […]
So, this was a pretty big week for me. Huge, actually. On Wednesday, January 8th, at 10:42 AM, Eastern Standard Time, I submitted a letter to myself in which I formally resigned as my own teacher. It was great. (I took it pretty well, actually.) I’d kinda’ been toying with the idea for a while, and then, you know, I just went for it. But I rejected my request immediately! Ha! Just kidding… I should […]
There’s a question within each of us that insists on being answered. When you log in to the Planet Earth game and start creating your profile, the blank on the form next to this little question is the one with the red asterisk next to it. It’s not optional. You’re required to supply an answer. (How else are worlds created?) Who am I? In the Beta Version of the Plant Earth game, when we were building […]
