Looking again at the grief we have when losing a friend

Looking again at the grief we have when losing a friend…..We pretty much know what happens at physical death. The body drops away. That is about all. The mind of the person remains and finds its way into the spirit world with other discarnate minds. Some of those minds are wrong minded and some right minded. Birds of a feather flock together. But it is important to remember that all the spirit worlds are a part of this illusion of universality. They are not eternally real. Dying does not make anyone enlightened. It does not dispel illusions the mind is holding. It is different to be a mind without a body but it is not necessarily better. After a time in those spirit worlds most discarnate minds come back into another physical body in order to work on the lessons we need to learn, to undo the errors in thought which made this illusory universe in which we dream we are separate from God and each other. In talking about Jesus the Course identifies him this way: “The man was an illusion, for he seemed to be a separate being, walking by himself, within a body that appeared to hold his self from Self, as all illusions do.” He dispelled that illusion by identifying himself with the Christ mind and we have to do the same. All of our lessons go to this goal. “The name of Jesus is the name of one who was a man but saw the face of Christ in all his brothers and remembered God. So he became identified with Christ, a man no longer, but at one with God.” We are all on the trail of the Christ, whether in the illusion of the physical world or the illusion of the spirit world. The reality we are awakening into is the Christ Mind. In Truth we are all a hologram of the Christ Mind. We are all One Mind. The so-called “soul” is not eternally real. It is just a pattern of karma we have, a curriculum of lessons, to dispel the error of thought that gives us the illusion of separateness, and yes, of individuality. God has One Son, and we, as minds, are all a part of that Sonship. The Son is dreaming now. He is in a little nightmare of thought, brought about by a tiny mad idea that He could be something different from His Father….something different, like an independent observer, outside of the Whole, outside of the Will of God. Being a part of the Sonship we share that dream and are waking up by doing our lessons. The Holy Spirit is here in the dream to help us both with our lessons and with awakening. As we awaken fully we give up all little illusions of soul identity, and merge back into the Ocean of God, not to be extinguished. The single drop is not lost in the Ocean. The fullness of the Ocean enters into the drop. Just as surely, every loving thought and deed we have done within the dream of separateness has been perfectly remembered within the Mind of God, for we have share those thoughts with Him. Everything that has been “real” within our countless lives has been perfectly remembered in the Mind of God. Is that not a better picture of eternity than trillions of souls existing forever in some sort of eternal church meeting, or roasting in hell? What is not true cannot be made true. “Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God.”

The Beloved and The Full Moon

I am so looking forward to the full moon, Tuesday for us. I will dress in my biggest parka and go to Burnaby Lake right at twilight to fulfill my promise to my duck and goose brothers. I promised them that in the cold of winter I would come and feed them and whisper thoughts of Spring and the return of life to the marsh. Most of them have wintered over, although most of the geese head south for Atlanta. I have missed my marsh. The PLeroma has been sleeping in me as well as the marsh, incubating…what, we know not. One cannot force the Beloved to show herself to you, much less to hold you in her embrace. Sometimes she sleeps. You know she is there but one cannot force her to awaken and come to you. She sleeps and you love her as she sleeps. While she sleeps, you “DO.” You act in the world using the inspiration she has already given to you. But when She comes to you, you sleep in her. She takes you into her Oneness, and any thought of doing ceases. There is just indescribable Love and Advaita–“Not two,” just One Love. You stay in this state happily. Who would want to leave it. I stay in it and let little words trickle out from it to you my dear ones. But I cannot “do” in this state, nor do I want to! And so our life with the Beloved, while we are here (or believe we are here) in a dualistic world, is a pulse of “Be”…and “Do.” Bedobedobe…or dobedobedo! There will come a time when the time for doing will be finally gone and we can rest in The Beloved, having gladly given up our little desire to do. Resting in Her we will be fulfilled. Until then I am content to await for her awakening in me and in nature. She will call to me in the rustling breeze in the tree tops. She will expose herself to me in the flowers that come in Spring. She will enchant me with the wonders of nature: courtship love among the ducks and geese; ducklings and goslings on parade through the marsh; fields of daffodils filling the lake; busy beavers building their lodges; birds making love in their nests; the Spring rains showering little newly hatched heads, scurrying for cover under Momma’s wings, and all through the wonder, the presence of The Beloved will call to me and I will answer. Together we will make planets and stars blush as we share a coupling greater than any we have forgotten. The Beloved and I are One, and as One I will sleep within her as all-encompassing Love that has no opposite, nor any need for doing. All this I will whisper into the ears of my duck and geese friends Tuesday at twilight, just before the Full Moon arises in all her glory. —

Everything that comes from Spirit is a miracle

. You come from Spirit. You are a miracle. Think you that you are a body bio bag of mostly water, born and bound to die, and you but add a little more to the joke of physicality. You are a spirit and you come from the world of Spirit. If you find your right-mindedness you will quickly see how the world of spirit wishes to communicate to you, and you will see how happy and full the truth is that tells you, “I am not a body. I am a spirit. I am free, for I am just as God created me.”

I have been to Abadiania, Goias, Brasil twice to see John of God and learn from the incredible spirits that come through that vortex. There is an Astral City right above Abadiania and spirits come from there through the vortex into John and the community of spiritists that work there. Spirits from the higher planes also come through this vortex to work with John and the many mediums of the casa. For anyone with even small mediumistic gifts it is like visiting Heaven on earth. In fact, it is the model of Heaven on Earth. The practices of the Casa are designed to mirror the practices of the Astral City above.

I went there this past August to pray for John and to seek further connection with spirit for my own progress as a medium. I was praying out on the porch which looks into a vast expanse of mountains, hills and plains. It was towards twilight and I was all by myself. As I prayed two people materialized in the middle of the air about 50 feet in front of me. They wore white robes and were seated in chairs that looked like comfy clouds. One was a man in his 40’s or 50’s; the other a woman of about the same age. They spoke to me telepathically. They were the governors of the Astral City located above Abadiania. The spoke something very helpful to me and they have remained a presence in my mind. I can easily communicate to them and they have helped me in several situations since I returned to Vancouver. They have accepted me as something like an apprentice. I have had other adventures with spirits they have sent to me, but I will leave discussion of that to a later time.

Loving You

Walking through a wooded field, the thought of you comes into my mind as Love’s gift. Soon the thought becomes your presence and I realize that you are with me in a higher dimension. I enjoy nature’s presence and you are there. I feel peace and you are there. I admire the beautiful ducklings and you are there. The clouds hover low over the lake this twilight, like clouds over Valhalla, and you are there with me. I feel your presence, just in a higher dimension, and I am there with you. We are together in a Love which has no opposite and no need. No lower thought intrudes. You smile and hold me as we walk by the lake. No eyes can see us but ours, yet we are together now and we will never part. You look on lovingly as I write these lines, knowing they are of you. I am inundated with Love’s Presence and you share it. I have prayed for you, longed for you, and now you are here. Soon we will leave all lower dimensions together. But for now, I am fulfilled in your presence, assured that you know my love for you, as I know yours. I love you so. I love you so. Love has made itself present within our midst and lifted us both to higher places.Image

Letter to My Ego…from Higher Me

Letter to my ego from a Higher Me: “Joe….Joe, listen.” Think of being on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera. Yup, that’s you. There are some things I need to say to you. You know I think you are an illusion and you think I want to get rid of you. I know that sounds pretty frightening to you. But let me tell you something, Joe. “I’m sorry. Please forgive me. I love you.” You were perfectly made for me to learn the lessons I needed in this lifetime. Yes, you could be harsh and authoritarian, but you could also be informative, inspirational, and daring. You were the image of the Aries for all his strengths and faults. I guess you probably miss all the intellectual debates you used to have, and the authority you held as a theologian and then a university professor. Those positions perfectly fit you. But they could not last because you had more lessons to learn. I forgive you your faults and I thank you for your daring, inspirational, actions. You are going away but fear not. You are going away with my love and thanks! Thank you Joe. You were the best, brightest, most talented of your generation. Accept this truth and this love, and don’t worry about tomorrow. IT will all be OK.

Another World

It is one of the tenets of Quantum Physics that there are as many universes or time lines as there are possibilities. Whatever choice that could be made has been made. We are simply attracted to one particular time line by our consciousness and our karmic needs. So here is another view of the world, and it is True.

In eternity where all was One, there crept into the mind of the Son a tiny mad idea that He could somehow be different from His Father. At that instant the Son recognized He had fallen into a little dreamlet and He laughed. The laughter reached out through Heaven and extended the Love of God. On through eternity the flow of God moved unhinderedly and unconsciously through a Spiritual universe that the Father had created from His Love. The Flow of that Love extends into infinity. The LOVE is the way, and in it is the Truth and the Life.

How Much Love

We do not know how much Love there is in our present condition. We do not know how many “dimensions” there are or how spirit views what we call dimensions. We have been in a dream where nothing is clear but we are coming out of it now. We are beginning to awaken from our long nightmare of separateness and duality, the phantom world of bodies, of sin, guilt and fear. Let us simply keep open by admitting the fact that we do not know much yet about Love, nor do we remember very well our heavenly ways. At best, as St. Paul said, we see “as through a glass darkly.” But we will remember. We will awaken fully to Love’s Presence and it will put an end to silly stories. The fully awakened, One Son will know that it is impossible for Him to be anything unlike His Father♥♥ The One Love Son is the radiance of God, and that we are NOW even as split sons who think we are a body. I am NOT a body. I am the son of God and I will know my Father’s Love for me.♥♥♥

The Distance to God

In truth, the distance between God and I is nil, since I am a part of Him and have not left Home. But I travel in dreams and am a part of the Son’s crazy dream that he could be something different from his Father. We have gone through this many times. The Son’s crazy dream is fueled by GUILT that, just as you were taught in Sunday School, he has rebelled against god and god is very angry. So the Son projects into a physical world and physical bodies wherein to hide from his Father. The Son is not “playing” here. He is not extending God’s love! He is hiding in a body wherein he believes his Father, being Spirit, cannot see. But the veil of forgetfulness has fallen over the Son’s eyes after he projects into the universe and splits in the zillions and zillions of sensory data of the universe. He now feels that he IS a body and bound to die. Thankfully the Holy Spirit—the memory of the Truth–has come with the Son into this universe. The Holy Spirit’s job is to awaken the sleeping split sons and bring them together so they can awaken from the dream of duality. As long as you believe you are a body and in this physical world you will perceive distance between you and God, but it is just an illusion as is the physical universe. As I begin to listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit and forgive I also begin to see light around all things. As I forgive the world it begins to reflect the Light which is also Love. Now here is where dimensional talk comes in. 3D is just another name for the belief in the reality of individuality (my body, your body), separateness, duality, and morbidity. When we follow the Holy Spirit’s vision we see differently. Some call that the 4th dimension, a transitional state from duality towards non-duality. The 5th dimension is an awakening to the awareness of Love’s Presence. The 6th dimension on upwards is more and greater of Love’s Presence. All of these dimensions are as illusory as the physical world, but they are helpful illusions (like forgiveness–since there is nothing really to forgive) that are like stages to awakening. There are stages to sleep and stages to awakening. These stages to awakening are often thought of as dimensions. As long as you understand that they are illusory there is no problem. When I rise up in dimensions, I perceive less distance between God and I. This is obviously still an illusion since I have never left God, but the dreamer is beginning to rouse and stir. What if I could almost awaken, like someone sleeping begins to awaken as he hears faint sounds in another room. He is in that hypnagagic state between sleep and waking. What if in that state (call it a higher dimension if you will) I could almost touch God? I go to the filmiest edge of the dream and can almost see the Ocean of God on the other side of the film. I can poke at it and feel its flimsy substance. Really I could walk right through that flimsy film and go right into God’s Ocean! The Father is unconscious Love, flowing and extending throughout the spiritual universe which IS reality. If He were conscious He would be particular, and in Tillich’s famous words, just “a being along side other beings.” Thank God, God is not like that! You and I are a part of the divine Ocean of Love. Haven’t you had enough of 3D yet!!! How many more aeons are you going to keep coming into this illusion, projecting problems, pretending to find solutions! LOVE ALREADY! IT’S IN YOUR TRUE NATURE! And today I love all of my 638 FRIENDS. We are all ONE DIVINE MIND and we are awakening…ascending in the dimensions…going Home where we have safely been throughout all this long dream. But thank God, the dreamer is finally awakening♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
