More about the butterfly

4/13/2014

0 Comments

 
I feel there is more to life, more to know, more to be, more to experience. I need some time alone, time to step back from the world.

Release grip on life
Hang loose
Allow transformation
Allow growth.

Allow God to work with and through me. If God had given the caterpillar an ego and self choice, there would be so few butterflies in this world. How could any caterpillar begin to dream he could ever soar the skies, much less, dawn wings of fabulous colors? Who would he be to dream such dreams, he that crawled the earth at such a slow pace?

Things will look much worse, before they look better. All you have and know will dissolve before you, preparing the way for greater good to come into your life.


* * * * *

Unfoldment - Just as the butterfly emerges from the cocoon reborn anew, from the death of its past life as a lowly earth bound creature, and unfolds his wings to expose, reveal and realize, his own beauty, mastery and ability to live a new life on such a higher plane of existence than ever before dreamed, we as well will unfold the wings of our consciousness to behold our own beauty, mastery and ability to create wonderful worlds end to end for eternity, when we realize we are One, realize, know, and fully feel we are One with All, whom is God as God is All in Perfection.

* * * * *

More about the butterfly - As the caterpillar changes from his low and confined self to the new and free beauty, the unlimited form of the butterfly, he is reborn joyously perfect and beautifully free. He drinks nectar, the sweet life, and suckles on pureness and truth. The caterpillar does not slowly exchange a leg for a wing, the old dissolves back into the pure potential and then again manifests from original source as perfection, God’s ideal.

A Warm Calmness

I have been engulfed in thoughts of total despair pleading for help and then in the next moment felt a warm calmness flood my being as reassuring thoughts fill my mind.

This, My dear is Love, pure Love, the kind that comes from above, the Holy Spirit’s gift of Divine Love.

Who is This?

Who is this voice I hear? This voice I have always heard but not recognized? Is it God? Is it my spiritual guides? Is it my Higher Self?

It is the part of me that knows better.


I can accept that answer.

Awakenings of My Heart

4/7/2014

Technology is very seductive, newer, better, best. You know you want it. Live better. Be more connected, but connected to what? Not yourself, not necessarily what is best for you. The only connection that is sure to provide all the information one needs in a true and timely matter is already present. No connection fees to pay. All one needs to do is disconnect from all other which is running interference patterns garbling the messages of Truth meant for you.

I see. I want. “I need it!” I say.

No you don’t. You don’t need it at all. You are fine without it. You are better off really. You have come to know haven’t you, the Truth which resides within you which is worthy of your trust? You have proven it so, so you know. Let others go on. Let them have their dance and their song. You sing your own songs. Dance to your own music. You are hearing it now humming in your heart. You have what you need. You have it beautifully.

I know what I am doing here. I just realized it. I know it now and accept its importance. This is my soul work and my sole work, lessons given to me by my “Higher Self” and “Guardian Angel Family” to advance my soul understandings. Awakenings of my heart, lessons to learn and lessons learned, enlightenment and encouragement tailored just for me. The important thing here is for me to grasp the value of each teaching and own it. Yes, this is my work, a new lesson each day. Let me learn. Oh, how I love to learn. Some learn by reading books. I learn by writing them.

The New Birth

4/7/2014

0 Comments

 
Divine Love comes only in response to the soul’s longings. “The New Birth” is simply the effect of the flowing of this Divine Love of the Father into the soul of a man and the disappearing of everything that tends to sin and error.

Accept your bad feelings.

Why do I have bad feelings when I am being filled with such wondrous Divine Love?

Your soul healing includes the healing of your negative mind and denial of will condition and the liberation of all your repressed childhood feelings. This is where our true spiritual growth lays, soul advancing not mere mind advancing.

I long for Truth.

Truth seeker.


This stuff is for me. It is my work, my calling, my way home to Heaven. Heaven calls my name. I answer. Their voice is not in vain. Please help me to see past this moment to eternity.

Spiritual Unfoldment

4/7/2014

This is a spiritual unfoldment. This is the beginning of the process of which Jesus spent his life preaching. This is the way to being a “Perfect Man,” living God’s will by the crucifixion of one’s own. But as glorious as this is, and it is be assured, it is still most challenging work for the human. For the human has to die daily, crucify their “self” and deny their ego, to keep on the God track. This work is wearing and temptation still lurks behind every corner. Man may rise then fall again, over and over, rising and stumbling in his humanness.

God has watched this weary cycle of man. He has witnessed the love man has had for God and others and seen the turmoil man has been in. “Oh,” God said, “if only I could “save man” from himself.” And then God, being God, realized that with that very thought that He could and He did. What God did with that very thought was create a new opportunity for man, the opportunity for salvation.

Yes, “opportunity” is the key word here. A new possibility was now available. Just as all the other gifts of God, this gift could only be bestowed on man at man’s request. It would never be a gift reserved for the “worthy,” as in God’s eyes every one of His creations, His children, were worthy by birthright, by the fact that they existed. What was necessary for the bestowal of this great gift was man’s understanding of his worthiness. Each man, each being, had to understand that he was worthy by nature of God’s love no matter his soul condition. For all are worthy beings and loved by God, even if and as they may be living in denial of God’s very being and their constant connection to God, their Source.

It’s time to see what lays beyond, within the depths of Love’s soul, for here truth lies yet untold. Never fear just because you do not know. Trust Love to keep you high above turbulent waters. Keep breathing. Take deep breaths and rest in me. I give you my peace for eternity, the real deal.

Lessons learned, like badges earned from Heaven. See more ways to live fully through Me each day. A smooth interface depends on how deep your inner faith, your trust in Me. Trust in Me. Trust in me completely with your being. I made you. I know you. I am you at heart. In your heart’s deepest recesses I live. Bring Me to light. Let Me shine in your eyes.

Many People Call Your Name

4/6/2014

1 Comment

 
It is not about believing, it is about receiving My love, My Divine Love, into your heart. Then you shall know, you shall know My love and thus My ways, My will. Thus you shall know Me and call Me “Father.”

Many people Lord, many people call Your name and still cry out in pain believing you are not there as they live so unaware. They are wandering still, and arguing, proclaiming things they believe to know but have not seen and so do not show. There are many whom call Jesus’ name and yet seem to wander and fall just the same.

I know, I see, and all this pains Me for I sent My Son Jesus to “light the way” to make this all clear as day. Yes, many, many call My name and receive My blessings, as My blessings, the good of the world, are available to all. But they do not do My will, for they know not My will. For the only way one can do My will is to be so filled with My love as was Jesus. This is, I say once again, “the gift” of My Divine Love.

Yes, so many love me and all I love. But they do not come to Me as little children with open minds and hearts asking to be so filled with My love, wisdom and grace. They are already so filled with ideas they have decided about Me and My great love, that they inhibit the very most inner knowing of My essence. Books and books are filled with what man thinks of Me, not what man knows of Me. And the words I have given that have been heard have been for years upon years misinterpreted, as their original meanings seem to be so absurd that their minds cannot begin to comprehend.

Jesus told you all that I hid the spiritual wisdom from the mind and thus it could only be accessed from the heart. And yet men become “learned” in the Bible and study and pull it apart and attempt to put it back together again. Just like the old nursery rhyme of Humpty Dumpty, “All the King’s horses and all the King’s men could not put Humpty Dumpty back together again.” My words cannot be put together again. My word cannot be “put together” by the mind of any man.

This is why I gave the New Covenant. It was and is My promise to guide those who wander, home again unto My heart. Many believe they are “the ones” who have found it, that they alone have the key or the “recipe,” the lock on My love. Well, no one person or group has or ever will have a lock on My love as it is for all for all time.

Many of you have not received this “New Gift,” this gift of the New Covenant. Some believe they have and others believe they will. But few know, truly know My will. Whoever has been so blessed with this gift, this gift of the New Covenant, My Divine Love into their very heart, will know. He will know My love and will do My will. He will not sin, for as he so knows My will he can do no other.

Now I ask you to ask yourself, does this describe you or your brother? This gift is still here for you. I hold it in My hand, this very gift of My love. My transforming love will keep you from wandering and bring you to the “Promised Land.”

It is here now and available. This love, as it enters your heart and soul, awakens a newness of spirit. A fire or flame of My love will burn within and purify your very soul making it into one of pure gold. This is the treasure whom all have sought but found elsewhere naught. This is the Ark of Covenant which I offer each of you to renew, to be reborn of Spirit, to be sons and daughters of God, no longer born of a woman. With this gift, all of My word, which you have ever heard, will be a riddle no more.

This Love, this saving grace, of which I speak I keep from no man, no woman. Come to Me as you are, I say. It is My Love you are to want, to plead for, to make room for in your heart. You do not have to be perfect to come to Me. You cannot be perfect except through Me, through the ways of My Love.

The only way one can know Me is to not know so much of himself or think so much of himself that he believes he has Me and the ways of My world “figured out” by himself. Such man is like the rich man who can not enter the Kingdom of Heaven for he continues to come to Me carrying and insisting on bringing all his “mental baggage” when his bare soul is what is required for entrance into the gates of My Kingdom.


There is more to know dear and more for you to show My dear. And as you rise in My love so you shall. It is for you now to continue to ask for and be blessed by My love. This love is doing wondrous works in you and through you and will continue to do. Thank you for doing as I have asked, for completing this part of your task. You know My Love. You know Me. I Bless you and love you My dear. Dry your tears. This is all good. Good for all to hear. Some will hear and some will know and all who do such, Blessings I will show.

The Shift

4/6/2014

2 Comments

 
I am awakening to the truth that truth has many layers and so does the wisdom which has been given to us through the ages by saints, sages and saviors. There is first a blatant moral lesson in each of their teachings and then a deeper truth which can be learned but beneath it all is a complete understanding which can only be known but to those who know.

To many reading, even my words will appear as a riddle, but some things are better left unsaid. They are better left alone by any formal thought process, they can only be known. Who can know? Those who desire higher, who let go of all knowings, teachings, and imaginings and open their hearts and souls to pureness, therefore creating a space for the wisdom and love of God to infill.

This is the way these words are being written, for all knowledge being poured forth is “news to me” as I write and read it. This is how God speaks to and through me. I see this as the way through my art, as well as words. God speaks and I listen. I act. I do not react. I just act. I respond to God’s love.  

How is this so different you ask? I feel the difference in my mind and soul and I as well believe others see and feel a difference to and around me, a peaceful presence, something not entirely new to me but so much greater and so much more consistent than ever before. Why? Because I gained an understanding of the inflowing of God’s Divine Love and I experienced the rapturousness of it. I asked for more. I’ve had it before but in such a lesser amount and without much gratitude for the gift. That is where the true “shift” took place when I gave thanks for everything and blessed it all.

So here is plainly the “shift” I feel I have made. I used to be one who worked hard to follow spiritual principles and now they are completely woven into my very being. There is no choice to make. I need not rules. For I have so given my life to God that God has given me, and continually gives me, the very substance of His divine being, Divine Love, which in turn is purifying my soul, so that my soul only knows the way of God. And my words and actions flow directly from “Source,” not edited by my small mind. My mind needs not to be concerned if any action is correct before acting, as goodness flows through me. I am a clear channel, conduit, for God’s Divine Love here and now in this world.
