Awake My Soul

Awake My Soul

I greet all being with love and joy at the prospect of discovering more about who we are and living that discovery everyday through the process we call life. Namaste.

What is the mission and what is the goal?

What is the storyline of my life, just waiting to be foretold?

Who am I, and why am I here?

These are the questions that ring out loud and clear.

“Do this method or choose that method.” These are the sayings of the masters and gurus.

It can all become so confusing, egoic vision staring at the choices, trying to keep from getting bruised.

All the ideas and thoughts from my family, environment and world all swirl around me.

Waiting to devour my intuition, the clear seeing of who and why I came to be.

We are all confronted with the twists and turns of life as well as the pain and misery.

When confronted with these things, do we look at them and ask GOD, why me?

This is a typical response when the waters of the deep overturn your ships of stability.

Forcing you to leave the safety and comfort of the person that you have always called me.

Why

                  WHY?

I welcome all beings and non-beings to enjoy this meal that we call life.

May this nourishment strengthen and revitalize our sense of who we are and why we are here. Namaste!

Seeking, searching, looking to the future for a place I can call mine.
I never really thought about if I got there, would I like what I find?
Would I find a box full of gems and gold? Will I find a secret of the universe that only I can hold?
This is a great adventure that only I can try.
Somehow every time I figure out one part, the next part has me asking WHY? WHY? WHY?

What is the purpose of spiritual advancement? Will my soul find peace and take up residence?
Will I find the one truth that holds all of creation together like glue?
The crazy thing about it is when I find the truth; it puts up a mirror and says “take a look at you?”
A mirror that stands on its own two feet, looking for the perfect lover, a date I can’t wait to meet.
My ego and my soul all looking for the release of past pain, a pain that makes my existence cry.
Picking up the pieces, GOD takes my hand and asks, “My child why must you always ask why?”

Being There for Each Other

A lonely road is walked by the stranger that passes you with a face ready to cry.

A head hung low, a tumultuous spirit always in the mode of asking GOD why?

A heart filled with pain and grief, never given a chance to find its eternal release.

A mind that is filled with passing pain, mental strangers feeding on this present moment.

Their aim is to gain but not without their promises of a long life filled with fame.

The steady stream of worldly attachments flow through the rivers of the broken mind.

Looking for the low places, the places that the light never seeks to find.

Holding on to the stability of thought, the ground shaking below my feet.

Is this a new stream I see coming out of the ground of being?

A stream so transient and wonderful, its waters fill the consciousness of the deep.

Back and forth, round and round, the thoughts of my experience run wild.

Giving forth the new essence of mind, being held close to the chest like a small child.

The seed of new birth and new perspectives all greet me with a familiar smile.

I feel like I have been here before, but not in a long time or maybe just a little while.

I feel so confused and complete at the same time.

The paradox of my existence are my eyes to see, a judge hearing the case of a universal crime.

The other out there is really the master’s key to unlock what is in here.

A space so divine and peaceful, its contents make up the whole world and the planets.

The divide of elements transmuting and changing while they take up their rightful roles.

The play of consciousnesses pass through, but not without paying their agreed upon toll.

Who am I and where am I in the process of living my life for a brother.

A silent voice whispers in my ear,

The mind that produces the thoughts of finding the perfect lover.

Is the same mind that makes sure that no matter what, we are always there for each other?

Playing the Perfect Role

I greet all beings existing in this here and now with love and care. Let this day foster awakening for all mankind.

In this experience we call living we each have a role to play in the total performance of life. The performance or dance that we each express is what we call our personalities. These personalities are shaped by our environment, family, friends, culture and all of the experiences we have growing up. The dance or play of personalities is the way we learn about ourselves as well as the world around us. These roles that we adopt and become can and will change constantly, depending on what is happening right here and right now. We call these right here and right now moments, experience. We are constantly being shaped by our experience, or are we? Are we being shaped by our experiences? Or are we shaping experience by our being? This is a self reflective question that only you can answer, and because of the beautiful nature of existence any answer you give will be the correct one and will be your starting point of self inquiry.

The sustenance of our existence right here and right now is our environment; through environment we are able to experience life here on planet Earth. Without a suitable environment we would not be able to live in these bodies, which are really interpreters of our environment through the functions of the senses. We need our senses to be able to see a bright sunrise or feel the warm breeze on a cool autumn day. There is a strange interconnectedness of the senses and the environment. If you took one of those factors out of the equation, you would end up with a half problem with no knowable answer. In math you need two variables or two different equations to solve. In the same way you need both the senses and the objects in order to have the experience, without them you would not know what you are experiencing. When we look at the problem of nature verses nurture through the lens of playing the perfect role, both nature and nurture are intertwined to give us the experience of life, both spinning round and round as we all move our hips to the beat.

Why Not You?

Why Not You?

A house divided against itself can’t stand.

Yet we separate ourselves into categories of woman against man.

Looking at the years of my life roll by, searching for the truth and asking GOD why?

When I find the truth will it be permanent? Will the truth stick to me like glue?

Infinity all wrapped up in the finite body, the question then becomes,

Why not you?

A steady stream flows from the vast ocean, streaming at its own pace.

The waves of the sea are all coming and going.

The beauty of nature blessing us with its perfection and grace.

Waving smiles to humanity its virtue is always showing.

Feeling the water in the palms of my hand, I ask myself;

What is the meaning of life? And how can this meaning reconcile all the pain and tragedy?

“Dear Lord I need help, maybe can I have a little clue?

Walking down the beach I bend down to see three words etched in the sand.

Why not you?

Looking to teachers, priests and gurus, my mind searches for the right way to live and be free.

A nature that I wish I could be, but the struggles are too strong, even for a powerful person like me.

One day a teacher asks “what is it that you search for and who is doing the searching?"

“It’s my soul, my spirit, my higher self that is looking to be free”

“Free from the pain of existence in this mortal body, always looking for and finding misery”

The teacher turns and says “look no further than the person asking the question”

“The freedom of life shows up when the questioner does not separate themselves from the question”

“So, why not you?"

Maybe when I die I will be free and able to see clearly the meaning and purpose of all that I call me.

“Why wait until you die, you can be free right here and right now, the answer comes in who you want to be”

“You will always be what you want to be, the wanting is seen through identity, that’s who you call the real me”

“So when you are saying me, look and see who you identify yourself to be”

“In that moment you will see that you are not your identity”

“But the Awareness of identity, the Awareness of the question “who is the real me?”

“The same road you take to find the answers is the same road that will lead you to this present moment”

“This present moment is the eternal now and from here there is no other”

“So when you want the truth to shine down in your life and bathe the flowers of your mind through and through”

“Feeling separated and lonely, like there is no way you can find out what is true, ask yourself”

“Why Not You”

Can You See?

Can You See?

The many faces of the creator, all spread out for the world to see.
All identities and personalities, flood into my field of vision.
A place where the objects of my observation meet the real and true me.

Can you See?

The restless agony of change, all in the form of destruction and chaos.
A world filled with pain and sorrow, it’s too much for even my emotion to show.
Finding my humanity in a wonderfully bounded sea, these trials are all leading me back.
Into the place where me meets me and finally has the eyes to see.

The destruction of myself, images showing all aspects of my life.
Family, friends and even strangers have all told me.
That this is the way I should be, but where can I find what is true about reality.
When the constructs and rules of this game are too subtle.
So subtle that my eyes can barely see the light of the rising sun.

Can You See?

The forging of a new era of humanity, this goal is my soul’s final dying plea.
Look inside of yourself and then to the hearts of each other.
In them you will find that you could not do without your brother.
All the trials and all the pain, will surely lead you into the place.
A place where you see only gain and no pain, a place where your son looks like each and every one.

Can you See?

This Feels Like Heaven

A release of energy spreads out from the core of my heart.

This entangled dance of actions and reactions, this is my beginning place.

My soul's fighting start.


Dancing on this bed of sweetened roses and plush pillows.

The castration of my beating heart spreads out for all to see.

The love that I share enters into this world of names and forms.

Will this be the place of my coronation? The place where I will be born?


What is the goal and what is there to see?

When the answers and the solutions all lie deep inside some place.

A place so hidden from sight, this place is called me.


The destiny of a life fulfilled with pleasure and pain.

The obstacles of tomorrow meet the needs of yesterday.

Most of my life was so hard, I had to get on my knees and pray.


Looking for a future of hope and imagination.

This goal looks so nice.

But is this just my mind’s mental formation?


Who am I and why am I here?

The questions of a wondering soul, now they all seem so clear.

A protruded finality looking out through the seabed of chance.

A glimpse into the unknown, a life lived in a mental trance.


Drop all possessions, drop all pain, drop all that makes you seem like you will gain.

Accept what you can’t accept and be what you always wanted to be.

Interdependent connections, all making up the person that I finally call we.


A collection of love, expressed through pure and natural sight.

Families hanging together, all embracing for that expected 12 round fight.

My soul dodging from left to right, exuding all my energy, giving off rays of light.

No more games and no more fame, finally a rest for my soul.

A very, very, very good night.

I Appreciate You

Laying, sitting, standing and walking.

In all ways I appreciate you.

The confusion of ideals, dreams and hopes all deferred.

Looking down the pathway, searching for the light at the end of the tunnel.

In all ways I appreciate you.

Shifting through this bubble of change.

The view of heaven now coming into my range of vision.

The quest I seek is but a mere shadow compared to the sand that is beneath my feet.

In all ways I appreciate you.

Steady on this rock that will not falter.

The dreams of my soul are on their course to make me whole.

This earth is my playground, though some people see it as my altar.

I appreciate you; I appreciate you, sprouts up from the core of my being.

Sweet to the taste, sweeter than a fresh water spring.

In all ways I appreciate you.

The seat of the soul is the end game for many people.

As if it’s a goal.

The steady rivers of life all bring forth the same criteria for strife.

What is the meaning and what is the purpose?

It seems there is no end to suffering, not for the most high or the lowest of us.

In this truth you can reliably trust.

In all ways I appreciate you.

Laying down my life for my brother, the martyr of yesterdays mythical classics.

Death, fear, torture and greed.

All fall into the category of humanities mental gymnastics.

In all ways I appreciate you is what my soul keeps telling me.

The ordeal of life, these changing terms all claiming their rightful places.

On the grand cycle of transformation.

All are little parts of the total me, bits and pieces, so small they leave no traces.

In all ways I appreciate you is now how I relate to my soul.

In all ways I appreciate you is what I now believe.

In all ways I appreciate you is what can make me whole.

In all ways I appreciate you is what my mind now conceives.

Not accepting in all ways I appreciate you,

I now know will always and forever bring my soul to the place where souls grieve.

Loving Yourself Everyday

I Welcome you with the One Unifying Force known as Love. This love holds all things together in their perfect place and in their perfect time.

The process of loving yourself everyday is one of the most fulfilling and direct ways to give and receive love every day. Loving yourself is a theme that we hear all of the time; “just be positive and love yourself and you will feel better.” While for some people this statement may ring true, for others it is a little harder to get there from where they are in their lives. There are times in our lives that we are in the midst of trouble, right in the center of what we don’t want to be happening. In these times you can’t just remove or forget how you feel because that is how you are feeling at that moment and to disregard it would be lying to yourself. The best thing to do in this situation is be honest with yourself and feel whatever you are feeling at that moment. Denying how you feel at any moment will not push away how you feel forever; at best it will hold back those feelings or emotions until a situation presents itself and you will be able to express them. This comes in the form of getting upset or mad about something, only to find out that what you got mad at really wasn’t what was really bothering you. Often times, there are deeper reasons for all of your emotions and feelings. The question becomes not why that thing did or does get me mad or angry, but what is at the core of this feeling or emotion.

Self inquiry is the basis for self discovery. When you go through life and live through certain situations, you get to know about yourself and how you will react. You get to know about your characteristics and behavior. After a while, usually at about 30 years of age, you begin to discover who you really are. Since the beginning of your life you have been told who you are and how you should act in the world. You learn what is acceptable and what is not. You learn who you should be and if you are lucky you are taught to learn about yourself through your experiences in life. This self definition process is a part of life and culture. When you were born your parents or whoever looked after you was concerned about your well being and your health and vitality, and only wanted the best for you, and supplied you with the resources you needed to grow and prosper. Their love was perfect in the sense that the core principle for their diverse actions of keeping you alive was love. Look back over your life and see if you can point out different parts of your character that was directly or indirectly influenced by your parents or guardians, the answers will surprise you (they did for me.)

The Beauty of My Bondage

Sitting here on this cold, cold floor
The depression that is my being is finally laid to rest.
A soft glow in the night time’s air, the final leg of this journey, only it feels like a test.

What is fate, and who is GOD, that would relegate me to this hell of an existence?
The constant pain and humiliation leads me to a state of ending all that I know to be true..
There is no promise, no looking towards tomorrow, no future for my eyes to look through.

It feels like my very nature is hated, the pitchforks of greed, the lies of hate, the emptiness of fear.
The regular beatings, the regular hangings, the regular days of my life, only I don’t feel like I’m there.
Not a worry in the world, the crowd gathers saying "Thank GOD It’s Not Me", like they don’t care.

One day as I was sitting in this bondage and dreamed of a release from this place.
I heard a soft whisper say “Stay strong and hold on, this life will bring about the amazing grace.”
“The safety and comfort you seek in this life will only come about with struggle and strife..”
“The scene has been set; you are the beginning of the family tree, that is why we eventually meet.”

“I am your prayers put to flight; I am your outlook on life, equipped with all of your power and might...”
“It is because of your courage and strength that lead me to question what this all means”
“Since my birth I have been a warrior fighting against injustice, believing in freedom for all of us.”
“Now sitting in this cell with you I can now see, that the pain and struggle that was your life.”
“Now fuels the fires of my passions, covering every part of my light so that it shines so bright.”

So there is a reason for my season, a flower growing out of the seeds of time.
My sacrifice has given the essence of who I am, to my great-great-grand, now living in his prime.
What a beautiful thing it is, to finally see into the future and view what my thoughts and actions will eventually be.
There is a peace that lives inside of the storm, a place that we all cuddle up to in order to stay warm.

The beauty of my bondage is the story that I now hear, read and see.
The power of my being projected into the future to influence future generations, and it’s funny they all look like me.
There are smiles on my face as I think of the promise of the hardships, knowing this pain is special, more special than the most amazing gifts.
I am in peace no matter what pain and hardships are inflicted upon my body.
Living through my generations, my essence of love spread over the entire family tree.
The makings of my heart implanted in all of the future generations who are represented by the person that I call me.

Is This My Gift?

Thump, thump, thump, are the sounds of the beating heart.

All condensed in the gift wrapping of eternal love.

Look at all these layers I don’t know where to start.

This present I receive always changes how I relate to my spirit which is represented by a dove.

Is this my Gift?

Off in endless flight, my wings spread across manifested destiny.

The eyes of the eagle sees all there is to see

Is all there is to be, what does this mean?

How does this description of consciousness describe the entity that is called me?

Is this my Gift? Or is it a distortion of true reality?

Crashing on the rivers of the deep, nowhere to run, nowhere to retreat

Or is this a brutal game of constant flow, my waves dancing to the oceans beat.

My fate determined by an essence the humans call the moon.

My fate cannot be sealed fast enough, not a moment too soon.

Is this my Gift?

Show Me Your Struggle and I Will Show You Your Victory

I greet you with my love which originates from the Infinite Source of Life, Love, Being, Consciousness; Awareness and all that we know and don’t know.

Being right here and right now is the source of all ease and acceptance. Being right here and right now will free you and your mind from the cyclic patters of pain, struggle, heartache and despair. Being right here and right now means exactly that, being here and now in this very moment, no matter what is happening in this moment of time. Being aware of yourself is one of the most important tools that you can use in discovering who you really are and what your purpose is in the here and now.

As we go through our life, we are all faced with a set of circumstances that we live in. These circumstances are systems of living that we can call culture. Our culture is the environment that we are raised in, whether it is the family we were raised in or the belief system of the community that we lived in. The word culture means the behaviors and beliefs characteristic of a particular social, ethnic or age group. Culture has many more meanings but basically it’s the identification with a belief, behavior and way of living within a community. As we look across the world at all the different cultures and beliefs we can find many, many wonderful ways of living and being. Each is truth and has a part of the absolute truth contained within them.

The Passion of My Purpose

The Passion of My Purpose

Enclosed in a frame of emotions, feelings and experiences.

My eyes look to the vastness of empty space and question.

Are these my eyes and my ears? Are they ways to convey my desires and fears?

The questions lingers and my soul takes up the task to answer the unanswerable.

Situations, events and data all stream across the vast ocean of my being.

Looking for ways to experience the essence of what is true.

That explains why for some reason I can feel myself inside of you.

The information that I call my life, all the concepts, fears and strife.

They all beat me down and you know what, sometimes I don’t even have a clue.

So what can I do when the questions and the incoming answers all lead me back to you?

When the dirt of the grave has been sealed and your existence here is what you see as true.

When the passions of life are so, that they increase the desires of what I do not know.

I’m feeling light and free, wow this feels like it just came over me.
