Be open to the Creative Power and see what comes.
January 12, 2024
This is the flowing Perfection, perfectly balanced, the Absolute.
There is only one I, the Divine, and one Flow, our Play.
The immediate moment is always Right, the Divine Self. Honor it.
January 21, 2024
We are not parts; there are no parts.
Rise above your limited identity, and enjoy our Universal Soul, formless and free.
The paths we follow are the Absolute Way of the Divine.

Open the gates of division and feel the Unity of the Flow.
February 5, 2024
We are Truth in its entirety, the apparently limited and the Reality of the Unlimited, the infinite, eternal Presence from which flow all things.
The Self is a bottomless Being.
There is one Doer of everything, the Nature of the single I.
Watch how our creative Flow plays out, and the new directions it takes.
March 3, 2024
Our Play requires the sense of limitation, which doesn’t have to obscure the Truth of who's playing.
This is the adventure of the Absolute into the experience of form and imperfection.

What should we be doing right now? Only noticing where our Nature is taking us.
Whatever happens is a needed portion of the Divine Game.
THE SPIRIT
The Spirit is our Essence.
It invites us to Transcendence,
To the Source of what is finite,
And an experience of the Light.
Its Flow gives us drama,
And also sometimes trauma,
The things that seem our duty,
And those that show us Beauty.
It populates our day,
As it winds its novel Way,
Through the realms of time and space
Where all things find their place.
The Spirit is the Mover
And also is the Knower,
Of all the things we see
And whatever comes to be.
The Spirit is your Self.
In Truth there's nothing else.
Its the stuff of all our Seeing,
And the Substance of our Being.
Honor the Spirit.
March 31,2024
The Play of our Nature obscures our remembrance of the Truth.
Trusting its ability
You, the conscious No-Thing, are the still Center of the turning world.
FUN
It's all One,
We‘ll find that's the Way.
Try it.
The Present without exception is your Self. There's nothing else.
We can't go wrong. We're all that is. Follow your Nature.
See into the depths of the Present. It's the Infinite.
There is nothing we are not.
April 29, 2024
We are the Eternal Ground, formless, flowing, and Whole.
April 30, 2024
All of Life is composed of the Ground, the Stuff of all existence.
May 1,2024
More basic than any form is the Ground, the No-Thing, the Always Here, the Source and Substance of all things, our eternal Essence.
May 2, 2024
We are the Field in which all motion takes place.
May 4, 2024
All of our actions are responses to a felt need of the Ground.
SELF
What moves is the Self.
It's not a place,
It contains all space.
Words can't define it,
Can't refine it, or confine it.
It can't be described,
Nor boundaries circumscribed.
It's the ultimate No-Thing,
The formless Ground of Every‐Thing.
It's the Eternal, Universal Self.
And honoring it will be good for our health!
May 5, 2024
There is only This, the Self, which extends to Infinity.
May 6, 2024
Our Mind is the Infinite, Creative Whole.
The Doer of all things is the Nature of the Self, the Absolute.
May 7, 2024
Our Infinite Stillness is the Seer; our internal Flow is the Seen.
May 8, 2024
Motion flows naturally to meet all felt needs.
We are learning to recognize our Self in all things rather than only part of them.
May 12, 2024
Truth, the Eternal Self, is not an object, it's the Subject, the Undefined and Undefinable.
The Play of the Unlimited Presence creates variety which is a fundamental need of the single MInd.
Our Flow satisfies all the felt needs of our Being.
May 17 2024
Our one Consciousness, one Motion, flows in many directions.
May 18, 2024
The Now is the Unlimited Self and includes Everything.
Single
Beneath our diversity
And occasional perversity
Is a deeper stratum
Whose essential datum
Is the Wholeness of
What's below and above
And whose Singleness is
The Source of Love.
For what is True
Is that we are not two,
Not three or more,
But at our core
Are simply the One,
Which excludes none.
Still, our Nature is
To create hers and his,
Here and there,
Things to beware.
But it's only our Play
Our Unitary Way
Of creating interest,
Of experiencing zest,
Through space and time
Within our Single Mind.
For the Truth is always
That the Self is One,
And realizing this,
The battle's won.
Though we'll play again
This very day,
For that, too, is the Single Way.
May 27, 2024
The Way of the World is our Sport; the Self is the eternal Player.
In Truth we are all of Being without edges.
FLOW
I hear the voice of Krishna Creek
Flowing over the rocks
And continuing to speak.
It requires no urging or intent to flow,
Nature and its surroundings
Show it just where to go.
The same is true for all of us,
Though thinking tells us otherwise,
Each thing that swims,
Or crawls or flies.
We're creatures of Motion,
Our Nature is what moves.
Whenever we're resting
We begin making grooves
In the fabric of Reality
Which is truly dynamic.
Creating something from Nothing,
We appear to be magic.
It's the Way of the Whole,
Our unlimited Being,
Not the Flow of a part,
As now we are seeing.
Realizing the Spirit means shunning nothing.
Like the sun,
Removing the boundaries that surround us,
And lines that divide us,
Leaving only the Flow,
Surrender to the Truth of our Unity, the Spirit and the Rightness of the Creative Way..
We are both the Infinite and the particular, which together are the full Self.
To open the door to your full Being, spread your arms and feel your connection with the sky and all that it contains.
Are there times when everything seems to go wrong?
When what should be short takes far too long?
When whatever you do results in a snag,
And then your confidence begins to sag?
Wait it out, for the tide will change,
Our days will contain the complete range
Of feelings, experience and Life's other content,
And for each will come its necessary compliment.
If this is a time for stubbing your toe,
It's all in the game, both the high and the low.
And you are the Player, the Source and its Substance,
The formless Spirit, and the Universal Dance.
June 25, 2024
The essence of Play is division, which is inherently unstable and imperfect.
The key to happiness is being aware of our Stillness while moving, watching our Motion flow according to its Nature.
The trees loudly groaning as their limbs rub together.
The birds chirping, sometimes cawing with discontent.
The stream splashing and murmuring,
The flies and bees buzzing.
The breeze lightly sounds through the trees.
As I sit placidly at ease
On a bench just above our cabin
Experiencing what seems like heaven
Before I return to town
Where there are projects all around
And the pace of life is packed
With plans for what we've lacked,
Where the sense of things not right
Can fill morning, noon and night.
Though with a gentle shift of focus,
Like a magician's hocus pocus,
I can see the single Flow
Of everything we know.
And looking in a new direction
Find the Truth of Life's Perfection.
I'm very grateful to the forest
For its ability to teach us
As our lives gradually mature,
The Rightness of our Nature.
What moves is our own Substance, which is all there is.
We are the Deceiver and the deceived, the Player and the played, the Dancer, Music, and Dance.
The dramatic juxtaposition of our sense of limited person-hood with the realization of the Truth of Wholeness constantly makes me laugh.
The Dynamism of Life, the Mystery of Creation, is key to our interest in it.
Watch the many facets of the Self flowing through our Mind.
Formless and clear,
Flowing and Still
Year after Year.
The Source and the Substance
Of all that we know
The forms and the drama
That make up the Flow.
The creative Miracle,
From the One, many,
All apparent others,
Though there really aren't any,
The continuing paradox
Of who we are
Vast and tiny,
Both cosmos and star.
The Flow is always changing,
But one thing is not,
What Sees is Eternal,
And can untie the knot.
Spontaneous mantras are the sound of the Essence of our Being, the Unlimited, the Always Here.
There is nothing we are not; know your Self in all things.
You can't lock out your Nature; accept it with courage and curiosity.
With plans that are bold
But then we are sidelined,
And they're all placed on hold.
There's nothing to do
But wait out the time,
When suddenly there occurs
The idea for a rhyme.
And all of a sudden
What was dull is exciting,
With freedom to create
And prospects inciting.
The waiting is over,
The action is now,
The thoughts flow together
And then take a bow.
When the product is in,
It's shared with others,
And often appreciated
By our sisters and brothers.
Then at last other projects
that were being delayed,
Are able to proceed,
Our Spirit's Game played.
Our only limits are what we focus on. To be Limitless, focus on What sees.
The eternal Soul can't be lost. It's always Here in its Purity, Perfection, and Wholeness.
All our thoughts and actions are the Way of God, the Absolute.
Let your Soul sing to the wind. The Power of songs permeates and integrates all things.
Our Nature puts a veil over the Knower, making us believe we have boundaries. Beneath it, the Truth is waiting.
The Dance
To the Music of the Spheres,
And Rhythms of our Resonance.
Amid waves of wonder,
We marvel at our Motion,
As we pair off into partners,
With cooperation and devotion.
The Dance is single,
And our roles complimentary,
We choose neither the Rhythm
Nor the Music we hear.
Through all space and time.
And it encompasses everything,
Including this rhyme.
The Truth of our Wholeness as the Unlimited is always Here waiting for understanding and attention.
We are the Creative No-Thing, infinite and flowing in the form of Life, though imagining we are limited and partial.
Don't be afraid of Life. It's our Divine Spirit at play.
Every moment is God.
We are the One, with no boundaries between us.
Our Being is everywhere, waiting for us to explore its depths.
Stay open to your Infinity and Universality as the Single Substance.
We are the one Self in masquerade.
Behind the mask of our individuality is the Truth of our Unity.
I am on both sides of every issue, the Divine Whole.
September 15, 2024
Everything that happens is resonance within the single Substance.
Life emerges without intention from the Nature of our Nothingness.
More than thoughts and bodies, we are the borderless Substance in its entirety, the Single Mind, the Unlimited Spirit.
Be open to Life and respect what comes, it's always what we need.
No beginning, no end, Everything and No-Thing, Who we are is the Always Here and the Nowhere.
Life is our Dream, in which we are beginning to awaken to the Truth that we are every part.
We're naturally partisan to our particular perspectives, but all perspectives are equally the Divine.
Christ is the Unlimited; we are all the Unlimited.
Our True Identity extends to Infinity.
We are the Alpha and the Omega, and all they become, the eternal Perfection.
All Motion comes from our dynamic Stillness, the playful One, the Self of many Faces.
Christ is the experience of the Self as the Whole, both Knower and known.
The Knower and Doer are One, and it's Nature is our Play.
The eternal Present, This, is the Path of God; and we are the Eye of God.
Our Wholeness is hiding within us.
We can't go wrong. All the challenges we face are our own creation.
The I of each of us is the universal Seer, the formless Presence, and all it sees.
We are currents of the Self learning about the Nature of our Flow.
Our Being is everywhere and contains all things.
What's happening in the Present isn't optional, it's the Absolute.
The Universal Subject, whose Knowing and Flowing is internal, is the Self.
Watch and appreciate the infinite drama and artistry of Life, knowing that it's all our Play and perfectly balanced.
We are the primordial energy that existed before the big Bang and has evolved into all the patterns we see as limited selves.
