The Doors Open

heartsdeesire — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 18:30:56 +0000

The culmination of your use of the time-space
continuum is that you move from the weight of
subjugation to parents, school, the world at
large, to a lighter recognition that there must be
something rather useful about you after all,
something valuable.

There comes a turning point when you look
around and say, “I really might be all right.”

At that moment
the doors open
and life moves in.

Seeking the Light

heartsdeesire — Sun, 28 Oct 2007 19:16:54 +0000

I, too, chose to leave the Oneness
to find my own consciousness
to add to the Light of God.
Along the way, I became forgetful,
as you have,
and I found myself wallowing, it seemed,
in a world so separate from God
that when the full realization of that horrifying belief
came to me,
I felt darkness all around.

Yet, as the longing and the pain increased,
I began to turn,
just as you have done,
to seek the Light,
knowing that if I felt pain because of lack of Light
then there must be Light.
If darkness were my natural home
I would be comfortable there.

So I turned,
as you have done,
and climbed mountains and forded streams
and prayed in mosques and temples and churches
and followed teachers and stumbled and walked again
until I came to the time of evolution
when I could say truly and completely,
“I am one with God.”

The Nature of Despair

heartsdeesire — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 15:58:01 +0000

The nature of despair is not really who you are.
I am not going to talk you out of it.
I would, if I could, talk you into it.
Despair, pain and grief are held to be unpleasant
and thoroughly undesirable. Dearest friend, take the lighted candle
of your own faith, and enter completely
into your despair.
Be there. Look around.
Let your self-remembering light that cavern,
demanding nothing, expecting nothing.
Rather than push away your despair,
just say yes to it.If you are in your despair, an Angel is there.
If you say yes to your pain,
then that pain is filled with Love.
This is not something to think or merely perform.
It is something to be.
Say yes in that despair filled moment
when you are able,
and with your next breath say yes again.
Let the breath that follows also be a yes.
And, if you are willing to allow
the structure of despair to alter,
you will observe it beginning to change.
You are in no danger.

A Case for Love

heartsdeesire — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 15:48:36 +0000

Hold fear in one hand. Hold love
in the other. Holding both, choose love
and choose love again.

Fear may call you back, “And what about me?”
You answer: “Yes, fear, I hear you. I choose
love. You may be part of human conditioning
but love will always be my choice, for that is the
only reality.” Fear will shout, “But I am truth.
Listen to me!” You reply, “My choice lies
outside of illusion, not within it.”
