Spiritus

 Spirituality is in and out of the body. You are a human on this Earth, living a life with money, time, food, and weather; facing the ongoing need to keep yourself alive through everything. It is hard to not be focused on these things because of how each affects your comfort. Imagining ourselves without money, food or shelter can bring us to tears and high levels of anxiety because we feel like our body is all we have. Our pain, being cold or hot and hungry are all so real and seem inescapable when we are in the middle of any one of them. But we are able to see beyond each when we find our own connection to the spiritual landscape within our body and just outside the mind. I have not discovered a way to survive without food or having some way to stay warm in freezing weather, I have found that we can experience hunger as something outside of what we are. Cold and hot can be felt as energy hovering around a form you are using to take each in for the pleasure of their presence. We ca...

Your way in

 I have a home, I have some property and I like to think that I have a right to use it without worrying about someone coming in and staking claim to any part of it. But, I have to consider the history behind this house and property; it was once a land where an entire native nation lived, shared experiences and then was nearly killed off and penned up in little areas. My land was not always white people's land, along with all the land of this country. I call you to recognize where you are, how you have what you have, and where your people came from. If the generations of your family do not stretch back into this place before the Spanish hit the South and the English later trampled the North, then you have to consider how equal your right to the land is as anyone else who is trying to live and be part of a community that has some ease. You are equally a foreign presence putting territorial pressure on the original people of the land, as much so as anyone else who's families arriv...

In between

  Finding yourself in between states of certainty is the wonder of growing awareness. To recognize the human, the organs, cells down to the atoms through the creative layers that make it up is wonderful. Then to understand self as a energy beyond those things that cause physical reality and knowing what has been called soul can release one to another level of perception beyond fear into pure love. As love one can accept it's place in the light that is a portion of the force in everything and from there we sence the between. Between all the states of being there are moments of not being anything at all; it is when you notice these points in your being that you can find understanding of the connection between everything and nothing. You, me, everyone and everything are equal parts of something so miraculous that has created billions of layers of creative experience from absolutely nothing. In nothing we exist and as that each of us is connected to everything. Separation fades as one ...

The colors

 I look around the society of the United States, a people that I believe in and trust on so many personal levels. But as a whole system I see blockades, loopholes and process designs that block Americans of color from many positions and general development despite the level of knowledge and education they have. There are little variances in the way our system and I hope by accident the people also put extra negative pressure on our fellow Americans of African descent. One can see similar actions and conditions applied across the board towards all our people in the nation or corporations, but there seems to be a way that the whole system aims at negatively affecting the development and growth of those in our society that have darker skin tones. Ramping up with the highest nuance creating the tripping points for Americans with African roots. From our school system which starts to create this pressure at the beginning levels of education to the money holding banks, corporations and go...

Grow

 As we grow in understanding, it is a wonder to consciousness once you realize that the body is a moment for the eternal energy awareness. When you see that, then the body is to be cherished for all that it brings. Not because it is the beginning of a soul, or that it determines the rest of your existence; but because it allows you to have this moment. Each second of life is a play for your thinking self, there are avenues to happiness within every experience when you are in touch with the portion of your self that is actively aware just beyond your brain. Knowing you are alive at this level, you can see where anyone not looking at life from this vantage point is missing an opportunity to be in a truly joy filled world based on love for the moments. You also see that there is no before or after life to worry about, because you are before and you are after each human experience and this bodies life. You know that you are energy and you see the whole world as a part of the many layer...

Wonder in it

 Life can bring wonder, even going through death of self and others can be amazing to the experiential soul. I am brought back to this topic because of the suffering and lack of certainty I see in the eyes of people after a loved one dies. I will start with bringing what we actually exist as into perspective. We are a tiny speck of our true life when we are living here as humans. Like you, I am flesh which is created by energy consciously touching atoms to make such a vivid illusion of life. Here we live our life disconnected from the rest of existence because we recognize ourselves as individuals. But it is amazing to me that we forget our individual is made of many parts, that are made of more parts, and so on we move beyond the microcosm until we recognize our self as just energy. Consider energy and human death, the life experiencing self was just touching the atomic layer of reality, but has pulled out of that portion of the structure of our world leaving a different energy th...

I feel you

 When I see my child, a mate, a coworker and even strangers finding joy I almost always have a sense of joy filling me. There is no doubt that we are social beings, here to grow, play, work and die in a community. I have thought about and wondered over death since I was 12, at times I determined that life was without reason due to it's definite end. My vantage point has changed but human death is as certain as ever and still I work to find a way to make life more wonder filled for others. I appease my own desires but also am trying to open minds to a world full of happy people; I feel it is a part of why I exist, even if I have to live to be 150 to help it happen. We try to live by logic as it flows in from the human brain, until the vision of self is expanded to soul, then beyond to being a portion of all, everything and nothing. From there one is the whole and life is a portion of a limitless supply of possible experiences as the entirety of every portion of existence. It is at t...
