Now

Contemplating What We Are

Sometimes

As if

A different person

This minute

This hour

This day

This past 5 years

What changes?

State and Trait

As they say

Temporary State

Permanent Trait

As if

Anything

is

permanent…

The moments of fear

The moments of bliss

Can we treat these moments

The same?

What about chronic fear

and anxiety

Chronic depression

Can there be chronic bliss? 

Not disabling Bliss

Not the overwhelming bliss

Sitting within All-That-Is,

And All-That-Is-Not

The everyday bliss

Where we treat moments of fear and bliss

The same

Transcending

the clouds

that come

and go

Rising up

As if

In an airplane

Looking down

Upon

Our

Being

Our

Doing

Watching

Ourselves

Running around

Seeing

The

Big

Picture

Compassion arises

Love arises

Forgiveness arises

Seeing our

True measure

Resting

Peacefully

Alternating

The Do-ing

With

The Be-ing

Blessings for New Beginnings

Our lives are sometimes marked by rites of passage.

Graduation, confirmation, Bar Mitzvah, marriage, births of children…

Sometimes, they are great celebrations. 

Other times marked by mixed feelings. 

Perhaps a death or a separation or divorce, may embrace mixtures of grieving and celebration. 

Yet, change is always happening. 

What about small changes? 

We add new atoms and molecules, by breathing and eating. 

Then we breath and poop and pee out the old. 

We are shedding our skin daily, and growing new skin. 

We are doing the same with our insides, our gut and other mucosal tissues. 

Our brains are changing within each moment. 

Making new connections.

 

Sometimes, even growing new cells. 

In every moment we create a new self. 

New emotions arise. 

We make some habitual grooves shallower. 

We may deepen other grooves of habits of being. 

We usually ignore these changes.

We have our memories, so we think we are the same. 

How do we hold these changes?

Most of us don’t feel we’ve changed much since we were 16, or 22, or 30. 

Can we sit quietly… 

Can we listen deeply…

Can we feel our change? 

Can we slowly become Masters of our changing nature? 

Are we blown about by the winds of change outside and inside? 

As if there was any difference…

Can we surf the changing elements of this being we label “self?” 

Enjoying change. 

Without labels of good or bad.

Using our energy to make ourselves and all around us a little better. 

Or, not…

Align with Source. 

The path will be a little smoother. 

Namaste. 

I See Who You Are…

Not always

perfectly clearly… 

Sometimes you are not even physically close by…

When I pause

 

When I

Allow

Deep seeing

arises

We have never been

apart

Even when we meet

Over

And

Over

And Over…

You have been

My mother

My father

My brother

My sister

My children

My parents

My grandparents

My lovers…

We have always been together…

We play out our roles

In each lifetime

Sometimes

We can feel

The past

The future

Parallel lives…

Feeling deeply

Love arises

I love you! 

You…

In  this incarnation…

In this plane

Of existence

This embodiment

I love you…

In this moment

This moment

Which is

All

We

Ever

Really

Have…

Matter and Energy, and Love

E = MC squared

We know matter and energy are interrelated.  The power of nuclear fission and fusion are clear.

Break down atoms and energy is released.  Large amounts of energy. 

What about more subtle energies? 

Shine a light on some electrons and they are shunted to a higher energy state.  They then fall back down to their original energy state and release energy, often at a lower, but sometimes higher, wavelength.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescence

What about “subtle energy?” 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_(esotericism)

Mostly in the realm of what is termed “pseudoscience.” 

Yet, many of us feel there is something else out there.  Perhaps not yet well explained by “consensus reality.” 

What is the energy that is generated when we are deeply present with another? 

What is the energy when we massage another human, or animal? 

Is it simply our emotions?  What is the energy of emotion? 

Dare we ask, “What is the energy of love?” 

http://enlightenedmdphd.blogspot.com/2014/03/love.html

What happens when we touch another, with deep loving presence? 

It can be a deep hug.  It can be looking deeply into another’s eyes. 

Perhaps it can simply be holding hands, or a light touch in passing. 

Yeah, we can get lost in the sex thing, that ol’ sexual desire. 

Created by this desiring mind. 

What if we transcend this idea of sex? 

What if we decide to rest only in the connection of 2 beings. 

Maybe, perhaps, keeping Truth present. 

The Truth present at the highest level, is that there are not 2 beings. 

Only Source is present. 

Can we be with this paradox. 

Source is playing its game. 

Can we enjoy this game along with Source?    

Can we enjoy the energy generated of being with “another?” 

Can we enjoy the beautiful sexuality whether overt or hidden? 

Perhaps this can only occur with “right living.”   

Sexuality only present when it is not harmful to ourselves, or others.

On the other hand, there is a huge range of what we label as “sexual activity.”

I live a fairly conventional life compare to some. 

But, I applaud everyone who considers love to be central to their life. 

Well, as long as they follow the 3 commandments, in strict order: 

http://enlightenedmdphd.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-second-commandment-love-everything.html

          1-There is only one Source.

                    2-Love everything.

                              3-Enjoy yourself.

Enjoying the energy of being with another. 

Wow!    

May you each enjoy this powerful energy. 

The energy of love. 

Feel it reverberate within you and lift up the entire Cosmos. 

Namaste…
