Saved!

A mystical view of salvation.

This is not based specifically on the New Testament passages below, but on my personal experiences in meditation. However, those interested in Metaphysical Bible interpretation may find these helpful.

Scriptures for Meditation

from The Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV)

*(1)

Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men.
–Philippians 2:5-7

nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.”
–Luke 17:21

*(2)

Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.
–Matthew 6:10

… I and My Father are one.”
–John 10:30

*(3)

Now a certain ruler asked Him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”
So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God.
–Luke 18:18-19

“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.
–John 12:12-13

*(1), (2), (3) refer to the verses of this song.

Saved! – Lyrics

Instrument: Tempo – Seagull Excursion Folk Acoustic Guitar

1. Some believe that Jesus died
To save us from our sins.
But it wasn’t the man,
And that wasn’t the plan,
‘Cause the Savior’s already within!
And we’re
Refrain:

2. Jesus taught the crowd to pray,
The Father’s kingdom come.
And in all that he showed,
The Love of God flowed,
Because he and the Father were one!
And we’re
Refrain:

3. Not so much a special man,
But one who knew his place.
We’re equal to him
And the kingdom within,
‘Cause our Father is one and the same!
So we’re
Refrain: (Twice)

Refrain:
Saved from a sense of separation
By the Truth of all creation
In the Light of realization, we’re
Saved! Saved! Saved!

One Body, Individualized

There is one body.
It appears as many,
But really it is one.

The body of the Universe,
The form of Cosmic Intelligence,
The Temple of God:
One body, one manifestation,
Individualized.

O, how we think we’re our own!
Independent,
Self-sufficient,
Off the grid,
Living off the land…
“My body, my decision.
My body, my self!”

Except it’s not!
It is The Body,
You are The Body,
Undivided,
In divid U al,
You ni verse, Spirit, God
And all manifestations
Of Self!

How callous,
Selfish,
Disconnected,
Narrow-minded,
Limiting
TO think “I am myself.
I am my identity,
My body,
My gender,
My roles,
And I govern my life!”

I do not govern anything!
I am complete within myself
Only
Because I am One with God.
I am a microcosm
Of the macrocosm
That is All there is!

And for this,
For dependence,
For One Body,
For Life,
Love,
Cosmic intelligence,
Creation;
Created
By One, as One,
For One Life individualized:
I give thanks!
–And so it is!

Train of Thought

Instrument: Tempo – Seagull Excursion Folk Acoustic Guitar

1. Clicking, clacking, going places.
Ticking, tracking, timing races.
Slipping, slacking, losing paces.
Mind that train of thought.

2. Clicking, clacking, mind a-spinning.
Ticking, tracking, time’s a-winning.
Slipping, slacking, patience thinning.
Mind that train of thought, hmmm, mind that train of thought.

*Refrain:
That we may chug, chug, chug
With the love, love, love
Of God, the engineer.
And we may ride, ride, ride
With His peace inside,
On the train of life He steers.
Because no matter what
Our lives have brought,
We cannot be derailed.
We are conducted on
God’s train of thought
By love that never fails.

3. Clicking, clacking, ever burning.
Ticking, tracking, all a-churning.
Slipping, slacking, o the yearning!
Mind that train of thought, hmmm, mind that train of thought.

4. Clicking, clacking, pressure growing.
Ticking, tracking, changes blowing.
Slipping, slacking, letting go and
Mind that train of thought, hmmm, mind that train of thought.
*Refrain:

And we may chug, chug, chug
With the love, love, love
Of God, our engineer.
And we may ride, ride, ride
With His peace inside,
On the train of life He steers.
Because no matter what
Our lives have brought,
We cannot be derailed.
We are conducted on
God’s train of thought
By love that never fails.

Be Lifted Up

Lift up your heads, O you gates!
And be lifted up, you everlasting doors!
And the King of glory shall come in.

Soul Mates – A Mystical View

There’s no question that soul mates exist. We recognize them by the unexplainable, wordless connection we feel. It exists beyond thoughts, emotions, common interests, physical appearance, and circumstances. Yes, there are soul mates in this universe, perhaps many for each of us.

However, we may not have a personal love relationship with these soul mates. It’s false to only apply the idea of soul mate relationships to romance, marriage, or sexual attraction. Soul mates can be found on so many paths! To limit them to romantic partners is to lose God-given opportunities.

You could find a soul mate on a path of study, career, vocation or hobby, with a child, in friendship, even through a book or song – just to name a few possibilities. It could be someone you’ve met in person, or someone who shared something that struck a resonant chord within you. It could be someone from the past – there are no time or space limits on soul mates, because the Infinite knows no limits.

Soul mates are simply the Eternal, Universal, or God expressed as individuals we resonate with on a spiritual level. They are anywhere and everywhere, and in Ultimate Reality, they are already within us. It just takes “time” to become aware of their Presence, a gift of, and from, the Infinite itself.

May your soul mates be made known to you as you are ready to meet them spiritually!

Bring the Light

Instrument: Tempo – Seagull Excursion Folk Acoustic Guitar

1. Hear the whisper in the dark
Lead your mind to move apart
From the thoughts, routine and cold
To the Truth within your soul.
Bring the Light, for you are whole!

2. Feel the candle make a spark
In your sad and lonely heart,
Hope inspiring night and day,
Shining on the path you take.
Bring the Light, and come awake!

3. See your image that appears.
Know your doubts and pain and fears.
Give them all to God inside;
Free yourself and open wide.
Bring the Light, o precious child!

4. And be the whisper in the dark.
Be the candle, make a spark.
Be a mirror of the soul,
And reflect the Spirit bold.
Bring the Light, for you are whole!

One in Spirit, you are whole!
Bring the Light, for you are whole!

The Truth We Tell

Instrument: Brio – Red Cedar Concert Ukulele

1. Knowledge is amazing,
And the mind is like a sponge.
It soaks up information
Every time we take a plunge.
But knowledge, it is meaningless
Without the One True Guide.
So let a greater Mind than this
Direct the learning tide!
Refrain:

2. The work we do is critical;
We have a purpose here.
And when we give our very best,
Success is always near.
But we are not machines to push
For games and greed and guile.
O may we serve the Universe
And touch the inner sky!
Refrain:

3. We’re dressing up and acting out
Without the Star of Love.
The curtain’s closed, and all is dark.
Then shines a Light above!
The part we play on any stage,
This whole identity,
Is fleeting till we claim the Truth
And let It set us free!
Refrain:

Releasing pain and fear
To fill us with the Light!

Refrain:
‘Cause the truth we tell is fact,
but black and white make grey.
There’s more to us than that;
O let us find the Way!
Eternal Love so clear
Is burning deep inside,
Releasing pain and fear
To fill us with the Light!

One Spirit

Is the Trinity Real?
A Mystical View

I have written about the “members” of the Trinity myself – Father, Son and Holy Spirit. However, there comes a point in mystical awareness where even the Trinity falls away, and you are left with Oneness! A religious person might feel shaken that the doctrine of the Trinity has shattered. But those with mystical awareness hold to the Spirit, and are grateful for the ever deepening realization of Truth.

Infinite means without beginning and without end. Nothing is separate from or outside of the Infinite.

“There is One Infinite Spirit and every time man says, “I am” he proclaims it.”
–Ernest Holmes, The Science of Mind, p. 323

We pray unto the Father
And put hope in the Son;
We ask the Holy Spirit
To fill each heart that comes.

But there is something Higher,
A Truth of Love and Light:
The one eternal Power,
The Source and Breath of Life.

Indeed there is a Father
And Christ the Son of Love;
A gentle Holy Spirit,
Descending like a dove.

But names fall short of Allness
And things that can’t be seen,
And texts of sacred knowledge
Are puzzles incomplete.

The wholeness of the Presence,
The Father-Spirit-Son,
Is not three separate powers,
But infinitely One!

So when you call on something,
Look gently deep inside
And seek the Highest Kingdom,
The Presence that abides!

Infinite and free
The Presence and Power

Autumn Leaves

Autumn leaves a mark
On every ripened heart.
The shadows drawing down
Are equal to the spark.

But as the sunlight fades
And heat becomes the shade,
Remember there is more
Than what we see displayed.

As outward nature dies,
May inner spirits rise,
For gentle autumn leaves
Are shedding Light inside.
