Thank God

Posted on by

Instrument: Eventide – Mainland Mahogany Concert Ukulele

1. We give thanks for all the things we are and have and do.
Yet when we have nothing, we can still give thanks in Truth,
‘Cause we are Life and Love, and our existance is just proof.
Refrain:

2. If a Force created us, It must have had a plan.
If it were destruction, then why are we still at hand?
It’s God creating lovingly each woman, child and man.
Refrain:

3. We are here by God’s design, expressing all He is.
Who we are is really part of one eternal bliss.
Minds and bodies change and grow, but souls live on in Him.
Refrain: (Twice)

Refrain:
Everything we are, we are,
Because of who God is.
Everything we have, we have,
Because He is the gift.
Everything we do, we do,
Because He is our breath.
And so we give our thanks to God,
Who in us loves and dwells.

Beyond the Time We Stay

1. I don’t wanna be your trophy.
So help me baby.
I don’t wanna be your property,
And you’re not mine.

Refrain:
But I’m gonna be your partner,
Different yet the same;
Your equal in the game of life we play,
To love you by the Spirit that’s beyond the time we stay.

2. I don’t wanna be your keeper.
Don’t sweat it baby.
I don’t wanna be your follower,
And you’re not mine.
Refrain:

Let’s let it go, let it be,
‘Cause God is all the love we see.
Let it shine, let it glow,
And don’t make up the face it shows to people.
Let us love pure and free.

3. I don’t wanna try to change you.
I’ve been there baby.
And I don’t wanna be your conscience,
And you’re not mine.
Refrain:

I’m gonna be your partner,
Different yet the same;
Your equal in the game of life we play,
To love you by the Spirit that’s beyond,
Far beyond the time we stay,
Far beyond the time we stay.

Instrumental You

Posted on by

You’ve* a body, voice, and strings –
Vocal cords to speak and sing,

Breath of life that fills you up,
Open hands that make a cup;

Yet You’re* more than all your parts:
You are God within your heart!

When you work or play or rest,
By His Love You are Your best!

Heaven made and heaven sent,
You’re the Father’s instrument!

Let the song of Love that frees
Ring through You eternally!
Amen.

*You (unless capitalized at the beginning of a sentence) means the inner, mystical You that is at one with God. In lower case, you refers to your physical being on earth.

Can’t Take It with You when You Go

Posted on by

Instrument: Tempo – Seagull Excursion Folk Acoustic Guitar

1. Play your guitar now.
Fit it in somehow.
Let the music flow,
The upbeat and the slow,
Because you can’t take it with you when you go.

2. Hug your people now.
Take the time somehow.
Let affection flow,
Deepest feeling show,
Because you can’t take ’em with you when you go.

We are one in spirit, heart and mind.
So you know there’s reason and there’s rhyme
For the lives we live
And those we come to know.
So find out what it is,
And make your living so,
Because you can’t take ’em with you when you go.

3. Clear your clutter now,
All the fears and all the doubts.
Let your knowing flow,
Keep your light aglow,
Deepest feeling show,
The upbeat and the slow,
Because you can’t take ’em with you when you go.

You are eternal, and this you gotta know.
So live your life sincere, and let your wings unfold,
‘Cause the Spirit is within you,
And It’s all you’re takin’ with you
In your soul.

Yeah, you take that Spirit with you,
And that’s all you’re takin’ with you when you go.

How Affirmations Work

Posted on by

Affirmations are important to spiritual practice. But it’s not because they have magical power. It’s because they give the conscious mind something to focus on, and the subconscious mind something to integrate.

Affirmations are positive, present-tense statements of universal Truth. They recognize the ultimate spiritual reality underlying all things. Affirmations don’t deny that circumstances are what they are. However, they focus on the Truth that “this” is not all there is in Life. I.e. there’s more to life than what we perceive with the physical senses.

By choosing affirmations we lift our minds to something better than what’s worrying us. Einstein said, “No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.” Affirmations raise the conscious mind above problem thoughts. At the same time, they give the subconscious mind a positive truth to integrate.

It’s amazing how many untruths lurk in the subconscious! Affirmations are one tool to establish new patterns and beliefs and restore a positive mental attitude.

Sometimes affirmations alone aren’t enough. So, affirmations are often paired with denials. The denial takes power from the negative. The affirmation gives power to universal Truth.

Keep in mind that “giving power” is relative. The reality is that the Truth never lost its power. We just stopped recognizing that power in our conscious awareness. Reclaiming the power of Truth means realizing it for ourselves, and not that Truth has ever been lost.

Below are some examples of affirmations and denials.

This financial situation is not permanent. I know that the universe is ever expanding, evolving and changing. I accept this positive change in my life now.

Fear has no power over me. I am a child of the Ultimate (Spirit or God), and good is my divine birthright. I accept this good now, on all levels of my mind and being. Thank you!

Affirmations can be long or short, simple or more complex. What matters most is whether they work for you. Do they light that divine spark within you? If they don’t, they’re just not right for you. But if they speak to your heart and soul, while keeping your mind occupied, you’ve found something that will serve you well.

If these affirmations don’t work for you, and even if they do, I would encourage you to write your own. Create a quiet time and place, and go within to discover the affirmations that will remind you of the Truth when life feels overwhelming. Meditation is beyond the scope of this article, but daily meditation is important to keep in touch with the Truth of your being. Because this Truth is the source and substance of all affirmations.

Mental Attitude: In Limericks

Posted on by

Short forms, sometimes called micropoetry, can serve as reminders of right thinking and more than that, of the reality that we are spiritual beings first and foremost. And little poems are fun! 🙂

O the feeling of having no luck
And of being run down by a truck!
But there is a way thru
What to think and to do
Is decide that you’ll put on some pluck!

There’s a time and a place for the rules
And a purpose for those we call fools.
There’s a cage for the stressed
And a stage for the blessed.
Is it bars or the stars that you choose?

All the creatures are God’s, even mice,
And the people you don’t think are nice.
Speak and act with his grace
When you’re feeling distaste:
What you give, you get back at least twice!

Invocation

This song and related posts are based on my mystical meditation experience and contemplation of the following:

New Testament Quotations

from World English Bible (WEB)

But you, when you pray, enter into your inner room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
–Matthew 6:6

Being asked by the Pharisees when God’s Kingdom would come, he answered them, “God’s Kingdom doesn’t come with observation; neither will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ for behold, God’s Kingdom is within you.”
–Luke 17:20-21

(…) that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you sent me.
–John 17:21

Invocation – Lyrics

Instruments: Soprano recorder, Tempo – Seagull Excursion Folk Acoustic Guitar

1. I call on Your Presence within my mind
And let go of this place and time.

Refrain:
You quiet my soul, and I know I am whole.
We are one; it is done by Your will,
Not mine.

2. I call on Your Presence within my mind
And let go of personal life.
Refrain:

3. I call on Your Presence within my mind
And let go of looking outside.

Prayer Through Depression

Posted on by

In light of recent events, I offer this meditational prayer treatment for anyone experiencing inner turmoil.

I am tired of the lists, the plans, the goals, the ruts, the failures, the decisions, and detours!

I can’t take any more of the feelings of low self-esteem, inadequacy, disconnect, and depression!

I desire to move beyond thinking, doing, feeling, struggling, striving, and trying to be fulfilled by outer things.

I give up my personal ego, that part of me that believes it is all I am. That part of me that sees problems, thinks it can solve them but falls far short, makes decisions out of fear and loneliness, and constantly repeats the same patterns and ways of being. Because this part of me is nothing; it is not who I am. It does not work for my good. It has no creative power, and it does not plan my life.

God is the only creative power! Through meditation I connect each day with the God-Presence within me. Through God’s power, I see negative feelings and experiences for what they truly are: Not as who and what I am, but as feedback, communication, and guidance to shift my awareness back to God.

Circumstances and events may seem bad. However, God is above, beyond and within all things. All-knowing, all-loving, all-powerful, ever-present God uses circumstances to work for His glory. Even through negativity, God is there, at the peaceful center of my being.

Every day I turn within myself, know God’s presence there, and realize that God creates and directs my life. For I am more than my feelings, thoughts, and emotions, and I open to this Truth every day of my life.

There is a conscious, Christ-Mind point of contact where my soul is one with God. I know this point in meditation, and carry that awareness with me throughout my day.

For this realization I give thanks. I let it be so. And so it is!
