We are getting good at being responsible yet playful,

Not taking ourselves too seriously,

Enjoying jokes and being teased.



At a deeper level, we are getting good at experiencing our Total Self,

Self of All Beings,

Not just the individual self that chats and plays, works and prays, with a single name.



And this Self is definitely Playful: Smiling, Twinkling, Humming.

Expressing Itself–Our Self–in Dancing Streams of Golden Joy,

High-Pitched Whistles of Cavorting Delight,

Roaring Swooshes of Oceanic Tides.



Definitely supporting our everyday self,

Definitely giving us Experience so we know What’s What

And take our daily life responsibly but lightly: seriously but lightly.

Shimmering,

Glimmering,

Dancing and Striding,

Moseying, Meandering,

Laughing and Smiling:



Us! One! Us!

Empty space is really Consciousness,
Dark sky is really Light hiding.

All is Beauty,
Bringing Joy to our hearts,
Our thoughts,
Our individuality;

Bringing Joy, Appreciation, Gratitude, Love.

Awakening!
Bringing Joy that is Love,
Joy that is Love.

God gives us the power to part the sea that dwells between us and Freedom.

It is God that Parts the Sea

But we must raise our hands, as Moses did,

As Moses did.

Walking, smiling along a nice tree-lined street,

Seeing a movie with part of my mind of how my day will unfold,

Thinking about the movie with another part of my mind: Suddenly!

I am completely Joyous Transparency– edgeless, boundless, no connection with body, movie, thoughts, completely outside the body.

“Can I really be unbounded, edgeless, eternal?” I think.

My Transparency swells in golden light,

Creates a golden tube, makes a corner, turns around behind my head and looks through my eyes at My Self. How Glorious!

Within a little while–not long, maybe a few months, definitely not more than a few years–

My Transparency and My Golden Fullness are always together, at least while I’m awake,

And I experience My Self as Omnipresent, All-Pervading, Love and Joy:

How Glorious! How Marvelous! How Delightfully Simple to Know who I Am!

How normal!

Thank you to my teacher, to all who help me live a good life and to live a better and better one!

Thank You!

Thank You!

Rags and soap,

Shovels and hope,

Snowploughs, bulldozers, rock salt

Clear the asphalt.



Love, gratitude, forgiveness

Clear our heart.

Waking refreshed: Success!

Listening to the birds and the breeze and water running through pipes: Success!



Rested and alert: Definitely successful!

Definitely!
