True Colors
Polished glossy paints
Red, green, blue, creating more
Pale in Cosmic Light
Moontide
Waxing, waning sphere
Past, present, future cycles
Rise again in Love
Thunderstorm
Eruption of sound
Bringing senses all in tune
Washed in boldest song
In memory of Nancy Abercrombie, who poured out God’s Presence through music for many wonderful years.

1. My body is a vessel
Sailing on the waves.
It has lost direction,
Been tossed and blown astray.
And though the ship is sinking,
I can see the stars.
They light the sea of changes
And shine within my heart.
So
Refrain:
2. My body is a cup
Waiting to be filled.
It has known despair
And felt the empty chill.
And though the cup is broken,
It reflects the Light.
The wayshower of freedom,
The Christ in me is bright.
So
Refrain:
3. My body is a Temple
Where Your Truth abides.
And may my doors be open
To worship You inside.
‘Cause You are my foundation,
Building me on earth
Even as in Heaven
Through life and death and birth.
So
Refrain:
Refrain:
Fill me with Your Love!
Touch my soul of clay!
Bless my heart and mind,
So I may pour out Your Presence each day!
A spiritually aware, bright, and talented musician, Nancy Abercrombie recently passed on from this world. She contributed positive, inspirational music to the world and to New Thought Metaphysics in particular. She has been, and will continue to be an inspiration to me personally. Though I never met Nancy in person, I’ve felt her soul through the music she wrote and recorded over her many years of study and service in the Metaphysical field. She will be missed, but lives on in the Love, Spirit and Soul of her music and every life touched by the Presence of God within her.
May God’s blessings and peace be upon all those mourning her passing, and may the Light of the eternal flame burn brightly on this, and every soul’s continuing journey!
Happy Father’s Day to all those celebrating in the United States! Even if you’re not celebrating physical fatherhood, you might bring your awareness to the Father within!

1. Look what God has done!
Inspired and made you one
With all that is above
And all that is below,
With earth and moon and sun,
And tides that ebb and flow!
Look what God has done!
2. Look what God can see!
All of eternity!
The puzzle that is whole,
The image real and true,
The path of every soul,
The beauty that is you!
Look what God can see!

The journey to his rest!
The road that’s hard to take,
The inner Light that shines,
The step that is in faith,
The Love that frees the mind!
Look what God has blessed!

Created you as one!
With Jesus Christ who came,
And every noble fruit,
The Kingdom’s yours to claim,
‘Cause God-life is your root!

Look what God can see!
Look what God has done
Here in you and me!

1. At a party I will sit
And listen to the din.
With small talk of the status quo,
I’m not one to jump in.
And all this talk of differences
And who did what to whom,
I get the feeling I should go
And clean my mental room.
Refrain:
2. I bless the people chatting now
Who know not what they say.
They’re spreading negativity
When there’s a brighter way.
And all this talk of differences
And who did what to whom,
If I agree in thought or word,
I build the sense of gloom.
Refrain:
3. And even during quiet time
Or going off to sleep,
The thoughts and words we dwell upon
Are what the night will keep.
And that self-talk of differences
And who did what to whom
Is moving on to paint the dawn.
So let us change our tune.
Refrain:
Karma is as karma does;
In God we are aware.
Refrain:
‘Cause every thought is precious,
And every word gives life.
And how we choose to spend them
Brings harmony or strife.
May we be mindful of our thoughts
And speak our words with care.
‘Cause karma is as karma does;
O let us be aware.
All earthly relationships end. Whether through death, divorce or breakup, a move or other situation, all relationships reach a point where they no longer exist as they did before. In effect, it’s the end of the world as we knew it. This change and letting go is often difficult. Here is a song to acknowledge that, and recognize that our only lasting relationship is with the Spirit of God within.

1. We ran a race as partners, you and I.
We cheered each other onward through the marathon of life.
We felt the wins and losses, and with every one we tried
To do our best, and leave the rest, and take the race in stride.
Refrain:
And it’s been fun, ya know.
A really great run, ya know.
We’ve laughed a lot and hit the spot
And learned to love and grow.
And it’s been real, ya know.
A mighty good deal, ya know.
And even though the teardrops flow,
It’s time for lettin’ go.
2. We came up short together, you and I.
We started out so strong, but hit the wall a couple times.
We bandaged up the scrapes of failed attempts and foolish pride.
We did our best, and passed the test; we’re moving with the tide.
Refrain:
3. We’re standing at the finish, you and I.
We cut the final ribbon, and the gate is open wide.
With every step we each will take, the Spirit is our guide.
We do our best, and ever blessed, we find the strength inside.
Refrain:
Even though I love you so,
It’s time for lettin’ go.
All because I love you so,
It’s time for lettin’ go.

1. We feel alone in the darkness,
Trapped in a mind bleak and still.
We cannot see through the forest;
We cannot feel through the chill.
Yet there is Light here inside us;
There is calm in the storm.
A gentle hand cools a fever;
The very same keeps us warm.
2. There is a Power in the darkness,
Creator, God, Life of All.
And there is no separation;
No lifting up, and no fall.
For in the midst of the torment,
God is infinite Sight.
And there is Oneness in knowing;
Outside of feeling and time.
3. We feel alone in the darkness,
But when we know and be still,
We feel the warmth of the Spirit;
The Law of Love is fulfilled.
For the Eternal is Wholeness
Within all of Its parts,
And keeping infinite Order
In every life that It sparks.
Amen!
Soul speaks to mind
Mind reflects in body
Body displays results
Soul feels separate
Mind is disconnected
Body is uneasy
Soul seeks God-within
Mind discovers Peace
Body balances
Soul is One with God
Mind reflects Love
Body is maintained from Within

Are You Sick?: Healing Consciousness,
it’s all about how our thoughts create our experience. The following insights come from experiencing mystical oneness, while the previous post was from a Unity or New Thought background only. For ease of reading, this is structured like a Q&A.
A: Ultimately, you are not sick. You are whole and well.
You are a creation, an expression of God. Made in the Universal image of Love, your Highest Self (God Self) cannot be sick. Recognizing sickness is a product of the personal ego, the human mind that tries to create your life. This is the mind that “thinks” and therefore acts, like it is separate from God.
In reality, there is no separation from God. God is all things, and is within all things. This includes you, a beloved, unique creation. You are God in expression, manifestation, or “the Word made flesh.” You are a miniature version of the Universe, but a whole Universe nonetheless, a microcosm of the macrocosm.
This is why consciousness, or awareness, is the only thing that can truly be healed. When your consciousness is healed, made whole and reminded of its oneness with God, the experience of sickness loses focus. It doesn’t matter anymore; all you know is the Love that you are. Any healing that takes place is because the God-Mind awareness is working through you.
A: Again, no. God-Presence creates and sustains every life.
The personal ego is an amazing thing. It believes, as in many New Thought traditions, that “Thinking makes it so.” In fact, this was the premise of my previous post. It is a story, and one that many people identify and resonate with. However, it is not the whole story. In truth, I’m not giving you the whole story here, either! God reveals Truth to us, only as far as the soul is ready.
God-Presence, at the center of your being, is what creates your life. Your experience of this life, however, is often dominated by your thoughts, beliefs, feelings, emotions, conscious and subconscious memories, and many levels deeper than the everyday waking human mind.
In addition, the law of cause and effect, or karma, is at work, keeping Universal harmony and balance in your life, and all lives. This means you may not realize the consequences of your vibration, made up of your thoughts, actions, beliefs, and so on. But God, First Cause and Knower of all things, creates and maintains balance in your life.
When this means receiving payback for something, that’s what we get. We usually see this as negative, and sickness falls into this category. However, it’s important to remember that sickness is only an effect, that it can be responded to positively and spiritually, and that it can be sublimated. I.e. you can move on from it.
A: By seeking first…
Because physical illness is so obvious to us, we tend to focus on it. It’s all we think about, learn about, talk about, and it affects every aspect of our lives. We need to exercise Spirit’s compassion when coping with our own or anyone else’s sickness. Ultimately, it is not real, lasting, or permanent, in an eternal, infinite, mystical sense. However, it seems real right now, and all we want to do is get it over with.
The only way to move beyond anything, is to leave the state of consciousness where it exists. And the only way to change your mind, is to change your Mind! That is, the closer your personal connection to God-within, your own spiritual Source as you relate to it, the closer you are to an experience of Love, oneness, and health.
You may need to take physical actions to restore health. But only the God-Presence within you, can tell you what those actions are and when to take them.
How do you become healthy? Know the God, or Kingdom of Heaven, within yourself, first. And as the Christ Mind in Jesus said, “All these things shall be added unto you.” But only after you seek within!
A: Thoughts are things; thoughts are tools.
Your thoughts, feelings, emotions and beliefs are often what impact your experience. They can make or break your perceptions of your life. But if God is Creator, what role do your thoughts play?
Your thoughts are tools. You can leave them undirected, letting the limited human mind run wild with them. But if you’re reading this, you probably realize that doesn’t serve you very well.
Remember that personal connection to God-within? The closer you are, the more open you are to God-Mind guiding, directing, and “thinking” through you.
Here’s the difference: The personal ego thinks it does things for you. God-Mind works through you, for the highest good of all.
The more you meditate, the more your thoughts, feelings, and experiences reflect God-Mind. More accurately, the more you seek God, the more you realize that God flows through you.
This is not God finding you, or you finding God. This kind of seeking, is discovering what is already within you. Remember that you are not separate from God, no matter what your experiences tell you. God-Mind is, was, and always will be present at your center, even long before and after this physical lifetime.
A: No! Mysticism in its purest form, is not about someone trying to explain mysticism to you. Mysticism is your ultimate oneness with All that Is.
You cannot understand this with your mind alone. The mind that earned your grades, does your job, tells you how to drive, remembers songs – this is not the tool to understand mysticism. And it is not the ultimate tool in restoring health. Only God-Mind can restore and maintain health.
To know God, to be healthy, successful, fulfilled, is only accomplished through the God-Mind, Cosmic Consciousness, Universal Lifeforce working through the vehicles of your soul, heart, mind, and body.
Your personal ego will not like this. Because it cannot do, or fix this, or make it happen.
Know God within you first. By this you realize Truth, Life, and health in its time.
In its time? Yes, only in its time. Any sickness may be a tool, a karmic effect, for your soul to learn from or resolve. But again, you yourself, by human power, cannot learn your lessons or resolve anything. Resolving any and all karma takes the Power of God alone.
And for this you need what? To seek within and find what has always been there.
A: No!
Not only are we all connected, but we can offer each other support and encouragement. Healers, coaches, ministers, and practitioners do not heal or cure. All we do is all that anyone does: Hold a supportive – in this case spiritually-based – space in service to Cosmic Consciousness or God. Its purpose is to direct you inward to the God-Presence in you, that is in each of us.
