Make it your prayer to learn what it feels like to make loving decisions in honour of your own being first as you are a representative of the Divine

~ The Art of Seeing

Every time you begin a new task resolve to begin from within your own heart with that open door that new page a fresh candle a patient touch It matters not what you do in any moment only the root of Love from which you initiate

~ The Art of Seeing

Practice surrender to both desire and detachment they are not contradictory but rather meet one another Both will lead to wisdom and courage

~ The Art of Seeing

Once we are able to look closely at the people the experiences and the emotions that are the most uncomfortable and difficult for us to feel Once we can look at these as gifts and see that within them lie seeds of potent truth about ourselves only The demon melts before our eyes the hurtful lover becomes sweet and the enemy fades away to reveal a sister/brother a soul like any other human and in pain

~ Gifts

Simple, really Never give in if your fear begs you to run Love others as if they were you And love yourself as you would love them in your dreams Turn it all around The truth will speak and you will hear

~ Gifts

It is your decision your choice your vision your reality It is up to you Hear these words

~ Dear Human Child

It is time for you to find out why and here you will discover the greatest surprise of all that to turn on your mortal light is like throwing a switch It is simple it is graceful it is the opposite of the struggle you have chosen for so long

~ Dear Human Child

The stories you have told of your suffering are done they have fulfilled their grave purpose and are free to go Permission for everything is arriving Grace is coming home

~ Dear Human Child

This moment is no accident it has been waiting for you for lifetimes asking only the question are you ready to see there is no such thing as safety only the reclamation of your permission to choose your state of being and therefore choose your whole world

~ Dear Human Child

When it is our turn to tumble to slip and fall we try so hard to hold on to the edges of our world and yet we hang upon the event horizon a position of no return We are crucified in that moment as in desperation we do everything we can to grasp on to stay where we are to remain in the familiar the known the old

~ Singularity: The Days of One

To poverty in the material I see you I see me in you I thank you I love the you that is in me In this way our separation ends

~ Singularity: The Days of One

We may only know how to claim the light of the One as we dare to digest the size of the shadow of our All as we dare to comprehend the lights of a thousand suns extinguished darkness beyond our old imagining When we can witness this too within our own being then we are ready for a hundred thousand suns and more to be revealed as the One Sun that we are

~ Singularity: The Days of One

There is but one way to reveal what we have been afraid to see in ourselves and that is to look at what disturbs us in others for our own inner blindness is too complete This is why we have been born There is but one way to dismantle our own limited understanding and that is to enter confusion wherein we are forced to admit how little we know This is why we were born

~ Why Were You Born?

By falling into our own doubt our own loss of faith we are given the chance to discover that even here especially here we have choice The choice to recognize that we are never helpless never without power never trapped for the wizard is a mere mortal behind a curtain and we have been able to return home anytime we choose all along This is why we were born

~ Why Were You Born?

Our fear is one fear: that we are somehow unsafe and separated from the Heaven we remember in our souls For every child seeks the Mother as the source of his Heaven Every spiritual aspirant adopts practices to find her Heavenly state... But in the courageous act of daring to claim the fears you have named be prepared to once more find the hope you thought you had lost

~ Why Were You Born?

Remember. You are the ant You are the log You are the immense Mother beneath and the vast Father above You are a part of their coming together to conceive a child of Love With a higher vision and a greater purpose you have chosen to be here to ride these waves of labour together to be a part of this collective experience this cleansing before the great Birth

~ Why Were You Born?

And whenever you think you may drown in the deep mists of confusion the simple and courageous act of naming and confronting your own intimate and inward fears will clear your sight like the rising sun You are reminded to choose. It is why you were born.

~ Why Were You Born?

How could we not fear that which reminds us over and over of the thing we agreed to forget? When we said goodbye to awareness of our Divinity to taste it one more time to return to the womb of the Mother one more time became our greatest desire And it is the nature of separation to fear that for which we hunger the most

~ Body On Fire

The memory of our brilliance is the most terrifying truth precisely because we want it so much We want it we want it with every cell of our being we want it until we collapse into the horror of the possibility that it will be denied

~ Body On Fire

We give ourselves away to abuse Make no mistake it is our own hearts which tell us that the abuser is all we deserve

~ Body On Fire

It is in the minute breaths of Yes the tiniest ways you allow and allow not the lies but the light to shine upon whatever you have lived It is in these revelations where freedom is found and the priests of fear will let go their hold and you will rise up cleansed in your own world wherever that may be

~ Body On Fire

For when the idea arises to become something you are not Rather than seek the impossible it is time to ask tell me more about this part of you the hidden self you would seek to reject Why would you throw this self away

~ A Fear of Being

When the wave rises we cannot say the exact moment it will crest and begin its fall to freedom into wholeness with the infinite So ask not are we done ask not are we here yet but rather soften into all flow and do not judge your arc your ride

~ To the See

Nothing remains in the realm of the ordinary Nothing is as it used to be for the story is now told across fields of light through layers and layers of dimensions cutting consciousness beyond space beyond measure beyond a world of day and night

~ To the See

The time has come to cease thinking with the brain and instead infuse your Presence with expansive sight To stop breathing with the lungs and instead inhale the force of a destructive and creative fire To walk upon the soil and at the same time transcend the doing of it all the while discovering beauty in every particle of your sleep-walking day-dreaming world

~ To the See

Come here to this shore one, two, three times every day let the reminder of meaning within chaos sing in your ears and become one of the ones who has relinquished fear and found the rhythm of acceptance

~ To the See

Author pick up your pen Artist pick up your brush Parent birth your child Child grow into your parent Creator infuse the expressions of every shade of every being in every way You were born for this time

~ To the See

For while we say that only Love is real there are many faces to the love you may know in a life and our guidance comes to lead you toward the recognition of this Love in every moment and beneath every shadow that may appear

~ Cycles of Breath

There is no life without breath as there is no breath without expansion and retreat The universe breathes. It has always breathed and always will in one form of inhalation or exhalation at all times and in this we find the presence of polarity and therefore the gift of opposition and flow

~ Cycles of Breath

When a child breathes does she regret what leaves her lungs to make way for what she will take in? Or does she trust that the symbiosis of this process is the source of all joy of all purity and the answer to her prayers for peace?

~ Cycles of Breath

And know also that when the breath is expelled an inhalation of Spirit must come for there is no end to the circle there is no separation between god the light and god the dark and this process will be as it has always been long past any dalliances of our confusion any wars any destruction any of the many blindnesses in the travels of humankind

~ Cycles of Breath

Yet know this that there is no way to remove the breath of life from that which is infinite and immortal therefore the role of darkness is critical as it offers a counterpoint to illuminate the light that never dies and in this way it is not suffering but our leaving of suffering that awakens us that brings us to the door of growing beyond the human child

~ Cycles of Breath

There is no peace that was left behind in order to taste the hardships of the earthly plane No instead there is peace embedded in every moment awaiting our discovery as we step back and back from the limitations of our fear until the wholeness the Oneness of experience is found

~ Cycles of Breath

Do you see how we must first be here in order to go there ? Do you recognize that there must be silence for music to be born? Can you allow that in order to remember an exquisite truth it must be forgotten for a time?

~ The Light That Is

Learn the practice of choosing Love and see how it eases your pain.

~ The Light That Is

In every experience of challenge or loss we are given the chance to choose from our fear or liberate the voice of holy Love from within us We can become distracted and delayed by vengeance or we can Love We can hate the people the circumstances of our pain or we can Love We can believe in failure in a disordered Universe or we can feel Love as a force larger than any physical experience larger than thought, larger even than shame

~ The Light That Is

When confronting every attacker this field of immortal radiance is always stronger than the weapons of our fear not by meeting blood with blood but by transporting the physical through a portal where no one can lose and there is nothing to be gained

~ The Light That Is

You have heard stories of ascension of transcendence of miracles These are not stories but rather Love at work and the very particles of the material become digested as if under the beam of a laser and Love is revealed as all that remains What does this look like for the ordinary woman or man? Expect that you have access to the miraculous and you will Ask for the impossible and it will arrive Join your voices together in announcing what was once unthinkable and you will create it before your very eyes

~ The Light That Is

When experiencing fear or rage do not give it away but make it your own

~ The Light That Is

How do I live beyond fear you ask? You look it in the eye. Stand quaking in the God Love of your own heart and dare anything else to deny you this for it cannot

~ The Light That Is

The greatest beasts of our nightmares may be purified by our Choice to deny them the food of our fear Cast blind faith of Love upon them instead and they will melt before our eyes

~ The Light That Is

Come together in whatever form of Love speaks through you and you will change the world

~ The Light That Is

Dare instead to stand before yourselves and others in the absolute whole of your nature Do not attempt to be anything other than what you are and do not regret any part of what you see in your own mirror In profound self acceptance lives all forgiveness of others and in the release of accusation arrives the Divine mystery of resolution

~ The Light That Is

Believe in what you cannot see and allow yourself to see what you believe in your heart to be true

~ The Light That Is

Let go of the literal for there is no answer to be found here In fact most of what gives your material world meaning exists beyond the sight of your physical eyes But there is another kind of sight which awaits you and once awakened it will never again sleep This knowing begins in the aspect of your being born out of a marriage between Heart and Spirit It cannot be described but only lived and once lived it never dies

~ The Light That Is

This is the God Self the presence of the expanded nature and this self is unaffected by the dance of visual illusion and instead is fully guided by a multi-dimensional fluidity This self knows no time and no limitation because fear of how things seem to look has transmuted into Creation of how they express according to each moment of being

~ The Light That Is

This is the reward of the end of thinking and the allowing of expanded sensation This is like the transition from drawing stick figures in black and white to the dreams of an altered consciousness kaleidoscopic inter-dimensional and responsive to your every playful wish

~ The Light That Is

Stop waiting.

~ The Light That Is

There is no more time to wait because there is no more Time And once you begin to really see this you will feel What was once tomorrow becomes yesterday this we know but it is also true that what was once a hundred years in the future can become Now in the blink of an eye bringing with it a century of history and more

~ The Light That Is

Make art so that you may discover you are Art.

~ The Light That Is

When you chose incarnation to be a part of this revolution of Being you began to make Art When you spoke your first words you wrote poetry When you took your first steps you danced When you touched your first petal you created a sculpture When you first wept you formed symphonies of spiralling truths

~ The Light That Is

There is nothing but Art and it needs no wall to hang upon There is nothing but expression and communication because all Beingness is flow which must be given and received

~ The Light That Is

There is nothing wrong in your Art because there is nothing outside of it and once in it you give yourself the greatest gift you will ever know - the perception of Self for which Source hungered when the beings of this realm were born When the Divine said Let there be Light what was truly spoken was Let the Light that is be seen

~ The Light That Is

Trust is the state of grace that allows us to fall into the natural rhythms of our being The state that lets us let go of our fear that we are travelling too fast and yet moving too slow

~ Become Instead the Willow

Trust is the acceptance that lets us live in present joy instead of future longing or past fear and it is born out of complete knowing that whatever comes to us it is the right thing even if it arrives wrapped in pain even if we do not yet understand how or why

~ Become Instead the Willow

And in this search for the crossroads of the soul that place where your willingness runs up against a sign that will not be bypassed cannot be overlooked we guide you to an awareness that you are thirsty here for the taste of trust and its absence dictates so much of your experience in this world

~ Become Instead the Willow

And so in order to begin to cultivate this calm you must first explore the nature of the pain that has brought you to this place of fear through a depth of examination that speaks only to your soul your heart your fear and the wounding that lies within

~ Become Instead the Willow

The child of yours fears great loss for she has known great loss and this must be expressed in a slow soft deep, deep surrender to the pain that will take time courage and support from the very loved ones you have been afraid to lose

~ Become Instead the Willow

Next will come the consciousness that may emerge from your pain of the practice of coming to know your strength in a new way The strength not of reactivity but of Trust of knowing that you cannot die you will not die that you are the immortality of god’s love and that all danger is the illusion of our mistaken belief in loss

~ Become Instead the Willow

Instead of the fear and the quick vulnerability turn instead to the god that is present in you in every moment the acceptance of the path that your own soul has chosen in this world

~ Become Instead the Willow

You have been the burning bush alive with fire of immolation Become instead the Willow her feet firmly planted in deep wet soil as she bends with the wind and dips to touch the nearby waters that flow and flow with a gracious understanding

~ Become Instead the Willow

We guide you to walk each day with a surrender not only to your pain but to your joy for there is nothing to control nothing to judge and nothing to protect yourself from once you escape from your own memories your own constructs of entrapment and fear

~ Become Instead the Willow

Trust that every experience is of your own making and that Spirit is with you in every expression and so there is no danger no action and no escape necessary for you lie at all times in the arms of your god

~ Become Instead the Willow

When darkness comes it can be as powerful as a great wind that blows out every candle snuffs every flame In the resulting absence of light it seems that we are without choice and made blind to any avenue of relief

~ Become Instead the Willow

Detachment It is this place where the practice of discernment between release and ascension is found and the irony is that the deeper the surrender to the pain the greater the thrust toward the light At the same time the more willing the detachment from the story of the pain the less its teeth will bite

~ Between Release and Ascension

View every sensation and emotion without judgement and with love This perspective will allow you to quickly sense how to proceed for it wipes away the tarnished clouds of the self-critical seeker who fears to love what may seem unloving within

~ Between Release and Ascension

When the heart is open if the pain is meant to intensify and flow free like the rush of a river through a broken dam then it will do so and you will witness this as grace

~ Between Release and Ascension

So if you stumble if you fall deep love even this moment for every impulse of self love shakes loose attachment and carries you further faster upon the lush winds of change

~ Between Release and Ascension

Turn your attention always and above all to loving your experiences utterly without judgement every single breath and every waking dream

~ Between Release and Ascension

For a glass to break it must first fall from a height and in the shattering be returned to the dust from which it was made

~ Quick Death

Discover the wisdom in this beauty for there lies your courage It is everything as you die and are born and you die and are born and there is nothing but exquisite love in every crumbling cliff in every decaying bone

~ Quick Death

True faith does not divide it embraces True consciousness never blames but only heals True love owns nothing not land and not people

~ Demon of Division

True wisdom seeks no power but rather transforms suffering through faith consciousness and love Love takes no sides for it is whole Holy Whole

~ Demon of Division

Nothing is as it seems because the old illusions must fall and the more tightly we hold to how we think it should be the more painful the rebirth will seem in the grip of our comfortable fears

~ Demon of Division

Be not afraid for there is no power greater than our willingness to love beyond borders beyond religion beyond our forefathers’ ancient hate

~ Demon of Division

The day must come when we do unto others not what has been done to us but rather what pure love commands

~ Demon of Division

We are asked to understand that no conflict no suffering is one-sided There is always a mutuality a collaboration the victim/persecutor dance lives within us all The persecutor can only exist in relation to the victim and so when we lift a victim up into the development of their own power persecution loses its hold

~ Demon of Division

We are asked to consider that it is the darkness which allows the light to illuminate

~ Demon of Division

When purpose and meaning are discovered our pain is eased so please do not give this honour away to your gods You are the owner you are the shapeshifter you are the one who creates poetry out of hurt and soon you will begin to witness how there is magic in the heartbreak for there is no angel who regrets their days of living and dying in the human way

~ Demon of Division

Your daily thoughts your moment to moment willingness to envision and act in the glory of an utterly new world has so much more power than you know You and you and the many are the answer to every question you hold

~ Demon of Division

Every day do you honour your wellness or do you only pay attention to your illness when it comes? Do you respond only to the pain of your world or do you stop to root yourself in the beauty around you?

~ Nothing Else Under Heaven

The practices which remind you of the freedom which is inherently yours to choose to open to the capacity to love even in the midst of your fear these will serve you well now for this is the lesson of all Time To be present not with what you lack but with what you embody To trust in what you are becoming rather than grieving the illusion of that which you have been so afraid to lose

~ Nothing Else Under Heaven

And we will remind you that for the new to arrive the old must fall and for clarity to be awakened confusion must reign for you to find who you are you must end your seeking of what you thought you were supposed to be This you know It only remains for you to practise what your True heart believes

~ Nothing Else Under Heaven

To Love is a state of being requiring nothing of any soul other than you of any circumstance of any condition outside of you for to Love is a returning to the moment by moment experience of how you choose to see the world around you and thus the words you speak the light in your eyes and the radiant power of your soul’s presence

~ Nothing Else Under Heaven

In this knowing everything is changed in this knowing even loss even war cannot touch you for you have opened like a water lily nestled within the mud There is no place which is not your home

~ Nothing Else Under Heaven

But within each soul lives a great Truth and this is the experience of alignment with the aspect of you which is Source incarnate and every lifetime you have lived has been a step closer and closer to the remembering and the honouring of the Truth that is you

~ Nothing Else Under Heaven

No this Truth we invite you to call forth is not possessive is not controlling or angry it does not need to make others wrong or to be in blame or resentment as a victim This Truth needs nothing from others because it emerges from the knowledge the state of Love

~ Nothing Else Under Heaven

You may have thought you were defined by your personality your career your parents or your children your skills your beauty or your physical being But no You are defined by the Truth of you and since your very first incarnation you have been on a journey of returning to this Self

~ Nothing Else Under Heaven

With every thought which makes Truth seem difficult go toward ease With every action which makes Truth seem impossible walk away

~ Nothing Else Under Heaven

It is rather the putting down of all that is heavy that you have carried it is the tearing away of the costumes of your fears it is the end of pretending the end of trying the end of pushing and forcing and chasing and blaming It is the end of being without

~ Nothing Else Under Heaven

Allowing yourself to live in Truth is the greatest letting go you have ever known as you fall into the arms of the Great Mother who waits to hold you in the warm blanket of her absolute acceptance

~ Nothing Else Under Heaven

It is the recognition that you are God you are Goddess you are a child of the infinite and as such you can never lose the love which defines you and the illusion that you are anything else dissolves dust in the wind

~ Nothing Else Under Heaven

And Love rises here beyond romance beyond even the comfort of familial bonds into a state you walk a state you breathe a state you radiate until everywhere you turn you find a lover every face you see becomes family and everywhere you sit to rest your feet becomes the most absolute kind of Home

~ Nothing Else Under Heaven

As conflicts arise with loved ones or neighbours in struggle with their fear your Truth will guide you and your Love will hold you for you have become so full that you have plenty to give and it matters not how it is received for this Truth will always find its way

~ Nothing Else Under Heaven

Be patient as your human nature may seem to fail you for remember you are not seeking to gain something new you are returning to that which has always been yours

~ Nothing Else Under Heaven

As you die learn to live As you surrender leave the fight All that you lose create anew until the pain of the birth becomes ecstasy once more as the Mother the Mother the Mother Creator calls us Home

~ Crucible

You have given everything until there is no more to give While once you were brave now you cannot remember your purpose Where once you were determined now you have forgotten why you ever left home at all It is time to understand such a moment It is a place we have all come to know Your suffering is not without value Indeed all you have lived is exactly your chosen path

~ Crucible

These are the final moments of an old way of being a way that will never come again These are deaths sure and true And we are to allow ourselves to die through our fear our hopelessness our indecision by the very grief in which it seems we will drown as we feel all and thus to live the very death that will support a complete undoing a disentanglement from everything that has gone before

~ Crucible

This moment in time requires the greatest trust and the deepest surrender within our reach To say good-bye to what we have known and instead to greet what is absolutely unknown This is our tipping point our breaking apart to break through when every stalling tactic every avoidance every denial we have ever practised no longer works for us not here not at the end of the road

~ Crucible

And so wherever you are right now you have arrived Wherever you have come from was where you needed to be And in this allowing you are offered everything every wish every hope every dream Look around dare to see this possibility

~ Crucible

So when next your path leads you to the foot of a great and dark mountain make no effort to climb it but rather simply allow it to be until in its own journey it crumbles into the sea of Love for here we find there is no pain which will not melt no fear which will not dissolve in the fierce, fierce Light of a reborn Creation

~ Crucible

Out of the dark and frozen ground Believe only in the seed

~ The Gathering
