Following the straight path,
Living in the Goal,
Creating the Straight Path,
Revealing Everyone’s Whole.

Beyond the highest rung: Exalted!
By Itself Alone Supported: Exalted!
No word can name It,
No power praise It: Exalted!

Our True Nature,
We must remember;
“Who am I?”,
Decipher;

The All-Pervading,
Perceive;
The Traditions of One,
Believe;

Hope for this moment,
Conceive.

Through gratitude, forgiveness, love
Arrive Home: Exalted!

Through Love Arrive Home: Exalted!

Good at everything?
How can this be?
Because a Single Intelligence
Is the Omnipresent Sea.

Think, act, dance, sing—
Design, build, decorate, bring
Guests home for dinner,
Cook good  food that reveals the Inner.

Skilled at all trades?
Perhaps we’re not there yet
But the smoother we do
The closer we get,
Single Intelligence
Treats us a pet,
Pays off our debt,
Lets us forget
Our limits
And restores us to the Summit:
Let’s Hurrah! and Welcome It.

The smoother we do,

The closer we get.
The xmoother we do,
The closer we ger.

Definitely not ordinary,
Definitely not boring,
Increasing alertness,
Banishing snoring.

Incredible! Fabulous! Stunning! Wondrous!

Gives Life a wake-up call:
Welcome All! Welcome All!

Shows us Joy is serious:
Life can be delirious.
Everyone in the Dance of Life
All are in the Chorus.

All are in the Chorus

Soothing and Enlivening
Integrating,
Celebrating,
Fragrance of Pure Consciousness.

Soothing,
Smoothing,
Choosing Bliss,
We skate upon the Cosmic Water,
Dive within its Depth,
Discover the Sea and We are One,
And we are born to Bless.

Omniscience, Omnipotence,
Total Joy, Total Sense.
Omni-Loving, Omnipresent,
This is Full Enlightenment.

Standing in the synagogue,
Waiting for a ride,
I sang to Elijah,
A prophet, a guide.

I saw the lights of the car for me,
And opened the door,
Elijah stood on the doorstep,
And more was in store!

His body of streaming light,
His head a smiling globe,
He flowed into my body,
And filled from crown to sole.

He filled the synagogue,
He fills it still,
He fills my body of light with light,
I hope he always will.,

Food on the table,
Love in our Heart,
Joy in our company,
Here’s a good start.

Chatter of weather,
Chatter of work,
Chatter of hobbies,
Laughter the perk.

Each one meandered
From office to lunch
Not knowing who we’ll join,
Or a few or a bunch.

But the food here is good,
Grown, cooked with love,
So Joy fills our soul,
In, around and above.

Joy fills our soul,
In, around and above.

Bees gather round the honey,
Bears around the hive,
All we creatures, big and small,
Find a way to thrive.

Flowers grace us with their love
In  petals, fragrance, herbs to heal;
Bees provide us honey,
In itself, a meal.

Bears teach us how to rest,
A skill of great appeal,
With love and food and rest, the best,
We enjoy a life that’s real.

Not just the surface we need
But deep and Full: the Whole,
The fruit, the juice, the seed, the Sap,
So we know our soul as Soul

The fruit, the juice, the seed, the Sap,
So we know our soul as Soul

We are Wholeness,
Turning within our Self,
Creating an imaginary wall,
An imaginary shelf,

That hides us from our All,
Makes us feel small,
But we are learning to stand Tall,
We are returning!

We are returning.

Absolutely true
That I love You,
That You Love me,
That we are always Happy.

Absolutely great
That we Celebrate
People, sky, sea
And we are always Free.

Always Happy,
Always Free,
Was, Am, Are, Will Be.

Always,
All Ways,
Happy, Free.

Always,
All Ways,
Happy, Free.

One view is that Full Awareness is beyond the distinction of Knower and Known,

Beyond the distinction of Name and Form.



Another way to look is that the Liveliness of Full Awareness

Is vibration that contains within it every layer of sound,

Including the surface value of distinct sounds, names.



Another way to look at it is……

Michael in Hebrew means, “Who is like God?”



As the commander-in-chief of the heavenly army,

Michael asks any challenger,

“Who is like God?”

And when he asks,

God is in his speech:

What challenger can stand before God?

None.



In our life we seek to harmonize with God, God’s Will;

We seek to become virtuous, comfortable, happy

Servants in the earthly peace battalion of the heavenly army.



Love and kindness are the greatest helps:

The more rested and natural we are

The more we appreciate, are grateful, love.

The more we love the more joyful we are and

The closer we get to the Total Love and Joy that is God.

Soon we are there.

Soon!

As the song goes,

“We are the Light”–

Not merely the light of our local Sun

But the Universal Light

That shines everywhere,

Shines even in what seems to be darkness.



We are the Light!

We Are.

An amoeba changes forms;
An actor changes roles;
An author is aware of many roles at once;
The Cosmic Actor is Every Role simultaneously,
Remaining always One.

We are remembering who we are--
Always All, One!
Always All! One!

Lake Char­gogg­a­gogg­man­chaugg­a­gogg­chau­bun­a­gung­a­maugg




Th­e story goes:

This is a name made for fun by Webster, Massachusetts newspaper editor Laurence Daley to lengthen the Algonquin name,

Lake Chaubunagungamaug,

English name is “Webster Lake”.



With Daley’s version the lake’s name is the longest place name in the U.S.



Let’s make up a few words doing the reverse,

Taking long words and making them shorter.



“Encyclopedia”: “pedia”, as has been done with Wikipedia.

“Thermostat”: “stat”.

“Consciousness”: “shuss”.



Perhaps we can get good at this and learn to continually make life simpler,

More comfortable,

Healthier.



I think we’re already oriented this way

And I think this style of living is becoming more popular:



Let’s keep sharing what we learn.

Very much sharing.

When God commands this it is clear that it is within our reach to follow.



“Holy” means “Whole, not fragmented”.

Kindness, love, joy are signs;

Simplicity, naturalness, comfort and comforting are also signs.



This is a good life:

Holy,

Simple,

Exalted,

Swimming in Wholeness,

Rising to experience that we are more than a drop:

We are the Ocean.

We are the Ocean.

God Said/Is Saying/Will Say,

“How many of Me did it take/is it taking/will it take to Change?”

God Laughed/Is Laughing/Will Laugh,

“Only One because there’s only One Me”.



And within the Laughter there are giggles,

Innumerable giggles,

And these we Are!

These We Are!

Trying to build a tower out of bricks,

Fragments of Life,

Led to the fragmenting of Language,

Civilization shattered,

A world lacking ease.



Looking at beauty anywhere,

We begin to sense Life again,

Wholeness again,

Civilization and Language again–

We cease to challenge God,

Open ourselves to God,

Our Self,



We return to ease and Ease,

Enjoy beauty everywhere,

Enjoy each other’s company,

And live in a world where everyone is friend–

We live in God’s Tower

At Peace.



In Lively Peace.

A cupcake, a donut, a couple of grapes:

Eye and tummy pleased.



A good joke,

A flash of Pure Awareness,

The Voice of a Saint:

Mind, heart and soul are pleased.



The snack creates comfort but also the desire for a Full Meal,

For Permanent Pure Awareness Moving within Itself,

The Self,

Our Self.



Within This we move,

To this we move!

To this we move!



Within and to,

Gratefully and gracefully

We move.



Gratefully and gracefully we move.

To the leaf, the source is the root far away

But it can waken,

Be awakened,

And realize, as Maharishi puts it,

That it is Sap, playing the role of leaf,

And then the Whole Tree is Within the leaf,

Which has become Leaf.



Same is true of us:

Body, senses, thoughts, I-Sence

Are not just the familiar individual

Whose name is on our driver’s license,

ID card,

But the Wholeness within which all individuality

Exists as Expressions.



We have begun to Waken to this Reality

And our Life has begun to be not only Magnificent

But Cozy and Comfortable.



We are all Waking!

All!

Happy in the moment,

Beyond all time and space,

Restoring our Connection

To Wholeness, to God’s Grace;



Remembering Reality:

Joy is what we Are;



Radiating the Joy and Love

Within and near and far.



Radiating the Joy and Love

Within and near and far.

Appreciate:

The flower, the janitor, the dust mop, the stain on the grass–

Everything! Everyone!

Appreciate!



And through appreciation,

Enjoy!

Through enjoyment, love.



Through love of our neighbor–whether tree or person–

We more deeply love ourself,

Know our Self.



Through knowing our Self,

Loving our Self,

We grow to “Love the Lord, thy God, with all thy heart, thy soul, thy strength”

And to realize “…the Lord, thy God, is One”

And we are One with the One.



Good judgment!

Judgment Fulfilled.

Fulfilled.

Chameleons can change color,

Grip with their feet or their tails,

They can stick their tongues out faster than a fighter jet,

And are good at hiding:

“Chameleon” comes from Greek “khamaileon”, lion on the ground–

lions are very good at hiding.



Their eyes rotate independently so they can see 360 degrees without moving their head.



But we humans can also act according to need:

We can change our mind faster than the chameleon can stick out its tongue;

We can not only hide but also reveal;

We can hold Love fast without effort,

And Joy equally so.



We can gracefully fit the novel and the moment’s need into our healthy routine.



So, dear Chameleon, we invite you:

Evolve! Become human; Grow to Enlightenment quickly, with all Revealed.

All.

Rising Hill of Feeling, Thought, Love.

Always Happy, never blue.



Mama Planet of the Soul

Raises the Hills of Her Love

Within Her Soul,

And the Hills become Mountains,

Universe,

All–

Every Present,

No need to climb.



Good Soul within which to Meander, Nap and Picnic.

Excellent playground,

The Best!

The Best.

When Carl Linnaeus, Swedish botanist and physician, was classifying organisms

He recalled a story about Alexander the Great seeing wise men sitting under banana trees and eating their fruit.



So he named the banana tree (plant, perhaps) “musa sapientum”, muse of the wise.



Fortunately, we don’t need to be wise to eat bananas or sit under banana trees.



Perhaps we will grow wise by eating them: I certainly hope so!

I very much hope so!

Not just great, as the companions of Diana Ross,

But Supreme, nothing, no one greater.



Call This: Being, God, Self, Consciousness, Unified Field, whatever.



So long as we mean “One without a Second”,

The Only,

The Complete,

Never beginning,

Never ending,

Then we’re talking “Supreme”



And This we Are.

This we Are.

Ocean of Self Sails, the Whole Ocean.




Magically,

Wondrously,

The Unbounded Ocean Moves All at Once, Within Itself.



It also moves as Streams and Dreams,

Facts and Fictions,,

Games of Love and Joy:

Hiding, Seeking, Revealing.

Concealing and again Revealing.



Always every move, however tiny,

Is the Whole Ocean Sailing within Itself.

The Whole Ocean of our Self Sailing.

Pi is God in Disguise.

God is the circumference and the diameter

Of the teeniest circle and the vastest.

One Unending,

Only One:

And we are also God in Disguise–

Really, We are This.

We are This.



We pray to God

To restore our Awareness.

So we become Fully Aware

There is nothing but God

And we are This,

We are This.

Enjoying Life together,

Helping out,

One listens when the other talks,

And the versa is nice.

Buddies!

Within our Consciousness--

Universal, All-Pervading Love and Joy--

Wisps and tiny Points of Golden Friendliness

Stream, dart, swoop, meander;



Expand into the Wholeness,

Become the Wholeness,

Emerge again,

Casually and suddenly,



Revealing again and again

The Nature of Wholeness:

Forever Full,

Forever Gossamer!

Forever Full and Gossamer.

Krishna tells Arjuna:

“Prakritim svam avyashtubhya,

Visrajami punah punah”:

“Capturing my own Nature,

I create again and again” (Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s translation,

Often given by him during Invincible America Assembly sessions,

2006-2007)



We can follow this advice,

Experience Entirety as Krnishna,

Who is our Total Self,

And within our Self,

Create Again and Again.



Already we are doing it to some degree:

Let’s keep unfolding our Awareness until

We experience it Fully!

Innocently doing it!

Innocently!

Choose to

“Love the Lord, thy God, with all thy heart, all thy might, all thy souL”,

To “Love thy neighbor as thyself [as thy Self]”.



Simple!

Easy with everyone, everything,

Happy within our self, Our Self:

Serene!

Working together we can do great things:

Sympathy, Compassion, Love, Sharing

Help us cooperate to create something perhaps none of us could do alone.



In the Bible, the building of the Tabernacle to reveal God’s Presence

Required Moses to assemble the parts even though these parts were created by those to whom God had given wisdom.



There is Wholeness inside each of us,

The ability to build the Temple of our life

That enables us to experience God’s Presence,

Which is always there but requires refined perception to perceive.



Working and playing together we reveal the Temple of the Universe,

God’s Presence Everywhere!



How nice!

Than k you, God!

Thank you.

LIfe is always Full:
As we relax and trust
More and more
We open the door
And enjoy the Fullness.

“I think you’re in the wrong joke,” the manager said.

“Oh!:” the chicken said, “I though I was supposed to turn left at Wheatgrass Street.”

“Isn’t this the Corn and Barley Bar?”



“Uh, uh”, the manager no-nodded his head.

“But we do sell and tell corny jokes if you’d like one.”

“Yes” the chicken said, “When I’m not near the corn I love, I love the corn that’s near”.



“OK,” “Why did the chicken cross the road?”

“I didn’t intend to,” the chicken said, “I was looking over my shoulder at my favorite hen and suddenly! I was across the road”



“Uh, huh”, the manager said, “Thank you for giving me the real story”.



Tune in to CNN tonight at eight and you’ll see the chicken, the road and the hen re-enacting this gripping drama.

We bud as we wake,

Blossom as we raise,

Flower as we rouse ourself fully from sleep,

And spread the Fragrance of Joy as we get into our day,

Spread the Rosiness,

Spread the Rosiness.

A sip of water,

A bite of breakfast,

Stirring our Omnipresence,

Lunch with friends,

Chat with sisters,

A happy chance encounter with an old friend,

A chance to support a good cause,

A gift received,

A delightful day!

A delightful day.

Wholeness, Golden Wholeness, Vibrates and Flows Within Itself,

It Streams, It Waves, It Spirals.



Wholeness is not “It”, it is “I”,

The I of you, the I of Me,

The Only,

The One.



The One.

Physically, we’re individuals;

Emotionally, we’re family.

Spiritually, we’re One.

One, Always One.

Pasta, pasta, pasta!

So many different shapes,

So many different seasonings,

Same wheat grows more and more interesting with each day’s new shape and taste.



Same soul gets more and more interesting with each day’s adventures that open us to the detail in our soul and its reality as Soul, The Soul of All.

We raise ourselves to Wholeness by sitting before Wholeness, God–

Humbly sitting before God.



Our leaders, when they are good leaders, preside over us by sitting humbly before Wholeness, before God.

We sit before God and humbly pray that we and our leaders will always be humble and good.

Always!

****!

Be gone,! the woes of time;

Our awareness opens to the Rose Divine,

Rows of roses in line, outline,

Outline a path,

A clue,

A sign

That we can take in this clime, that clime,

To make each moment Valentine.

With Pure Love entwine, entwine,

Embrace the One, Divine, Divine,

I Am You, what’s mine is Thine,

Happy, Happy Valentine!

Happy, Happy Valentine.

The Friend dissolves the cloak that hides,

Reveals the Ocean and its Tides,

This Friend is Self, the Love that Guides,

The Self in which the All Abides.

Built-in: in the womb, before the womb,

We trust that our soul will make progress,

We will have happy lives and Full Awareness will be restored.



Parents, teachers, friends, family

Teach us how to take care of ourself: mind, body, heart and soul.

They teach us skills to keep us safe,

To tell the difference between safe and risky, true and false.



They teach us how to be trustworthy,

How to build a better world,

The great world in which everyone is trustworthy.



Let’s continue building!

Let’s continue.

Something familiar yet intriguingly new,

An experience of Wholeness, through and through,

The blending of “me” with the blending of “you”

Something to roast at an open fire,

Something to roast at an open fire.

Enough to share: Abundance.

Enough to dance, to sing, to express the song of our heart: Abundance.



Enough to play with our world and World and to enjoy the world and World’s playing with us: Abundance.



Awareness Fully Restored to the Reality that One is All and we are One:

Ahhhh! Abundance.Abundance. Abundance.

We hear the sparrows calling: we chirp in response.

The sparrow pauses, chirps again, a little more clearly, correcting our chirp.

We chirp back.

The sparrow understands: we are a novice, needing tolerance.



She tolerates us and we chirp along as a we walk,

Enjoying love of the sparrow, giving our own love and Enjoying Universal Love.

Very much Enjoying!

Roof over our head,

Job we’ve had for a long time,

Friends and family we’ve loved for a long time–

We are protected.



“The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want…”,

We are especially protected.



Moving from the surface of our mind,

To the level of sound,

The level of flow,

The level of Formlessness,

We are at Home

And directly experience the Source of all protection.



We not only are protected but share in Protecting:

Nice!
