The Key

Posted on by

Because the essence of Music, Love, and God is The One.

In any key of music
the first note of the scale
is 1.

In any key of music
the last note of the scale
is 1.

A perfect octave
is the distance
from 1 to the next 1.

Same pitch, same name
just higher or lower
and still the 1.

That’s why it’s called perfect
the 1 is the beginning
and the end.

In any key of music
the real key is
oneness.

The true key is
wholeness
completeness.

The 1 returns to itself
alpha and omega
beginning and end.

In any key of music
the 1
is first and last,

root and octave,
1 and 8,
in the image of God.

And the key
is oneness
in his Presence.

Deliverance

Posted on by

Deliverance came all wrapped up
Nice and neat
With a big red bow on top.

Love came all warm and cozy
Clear and bright
Like a blanket and a prism all at once.

Peace came like a tidal wave
Knocking over all strife and struggle
Replacing it with calm ripples.

If you believe this
You’re more delusional
Than even the clinically insane!

It doesn’t work like that
But how we wish it did!
The Knight in shining armor, the Prince, the POOF! And all is well!

No, but there is a way
A way of peace
A way of Light.

The way of Life
Is going deliberately, persistently, consciously
Through it all.

The path of Light
Is the journey through darkness
To our own center, which is Life’s core.

The Truth of Life
Is Choice
Awareness, of, and radiating from the Spirit within.

Choose from that Spirit
Not from the intellect, the fear, the reasoning
Let that Spirit guide these “children.”

And be your Self, a blessing, blessed
Be your Truth, a Light, enlightened
Be your fulfillment, a Love, beloved!

Be it right here, right now
For now is the hour of deliverance
And You are your Deliverer!

Not by your own power and might,
But by God who lives and reigns within you
Always!

The Gift of Self

Posted on by

I give You these hands
You’ve given to me
To pass on Your Spirit
And help them be free

I give You this heart
That beats loud and strong
To sing for Your glory
And teach them the song

I give You this soul
You made for my own
To guide and fulfill
The purpose You’ve shown

I give You the Love
You’ve planted in me
To flourish and grow
To shine so they see

I give You the praise
Creator of all
In faith I say yes
And answer Your call.

But all that I give
Is already Thine!
And now may I be
A branch of Your vine!
Amen!

Let There be Light!

Nothing from nothing is nothing
Creations create in the space
Destruction transforms in the darkness
And Light is the Truth in its place.

Spirit is God breeding passion.
Faith in the Truth does the works.
Love creates wealth that is lasting.
And the soul is a child God birthed.

God is Intelligent thinking.
Hope is Self-knowing at night.
Order’s the Force that is linking.
And the soul is made whole by the Light.

Nothing from nothing is nothing
Creations create in the space
Destruction transforms in the darkness
And Light is the Truth in its place.

The Cost of Happiness

Posted on by

Pay the bills, feel incomplete,
And buy more things in your defeat…

Overdraw and feel depressed.
Then look outside for confidence…

Get more money if you can,
And somehow do it all again…

For that’s the way of this old world,
Where happiness is bought and sold…

But Happiness is deep inside
Like nothing you can get or buy…

We know this, yet we all still try,
‘Cause maybe it could work this time!

But when it fails, remember this:
You hold the key to Happiness!

It’s not out there as a reward,
But born in you, a child of God!

Mind-questions

Posted on by

Where am I going?
Where have I been?
What is outside me?
And what is within?

All of this flowing,
Growing and change
Moves me toward something,
But also feels strange.

I stop and examine
Life to this spot,
Seeing the moments
That come to a lot.

Places behind me,
Memories past,
People from back then;
I let go at last!

Giving up nothing,
Embracing the now,
The Spirit within me
Is showing me how.

How will I make it?
Where will I go?
What is my purpose?
I thank God, He knows!

Where am I going?
Where have I been?
Questions outside me,
And God is within!

Behold, the Star!

Posted on by

Shining bright,
A point of Light
That shimmers through the darkness deep
Guides the way
To perfect Day –
To dawn from slumber, wake from sleep!

And by far
The bless’d Star
That pierces through the gloom so dim
Fills the Soul
To know it’s whole,
Because the Christ is born within!

Radiate
Through every state
Of mind that comes to human thought;
May the Light
Remain in sight,
Reminding us what God has brought!

The Gift of Love,
Not just above,
But here for every precious Child;
Given birth
Through us on Earth
To spread the heav’nly Light that smiles.

A star so bright,
A holy night,
A song for e’er and ever sung!
For in our hearts
We’re all a part
Of God who lives within His own!

Shining bright,
A point of Light
That shimmers through the darkness deep
Guides the way
To perfect Day –
To dawn from slumber, wake from sleep!

All I Want for Christmas

Posted on by

A mind that knows it’s one with All
And peace that reigns within;
A consciousness that, should it fall,
Knows how to rise again;

The willingness to use what Love
Has given me to grow;
Connection with the One above
That manifests below;

A heart that sees what head cannot
And gently leads the way;
To realize that all I’ve got
Can vanish in the haze;

The things I wanted other years,
They pale within the Light
Of Christmas and its joyful tears
That bring the ending night

To every soul that’s making known
It’s one desire true,
There comes a Christ-child miracle
Each moment we’re renewed!

So for this bless’d Christmas day,
I ask to be secure;
That mind and heart and soul obey
The God who is my Source!

“Happy Holidays!”

Posted on by

Have all your “Happy holidays”
The whole rest of the year!
For Christmas spread the Truth of God
TO people far and near!

Columbus Day and Halloween,
St. Valentine’s and more,
Labor Day, Thanksgiving,
And the U.S. has its Fourth!

But at this special time of year,
We celebrate the Christ
That’s born within each one of us,
The “naughty” and the “nice!”

It’s not about the Santa Claus
To those of us who know,
And not about the Jesus Child
Who came so long ago…

The special birth at Christmastime
Is given in each mind.
The Holy Spirit moves in Love
To lift up human kind.

It doesn’t happen in a church,
A temple or a scholl.
The Christ is lit and shines within
The very heart of you!

Now, you may call him Jesus
And celebrate his birth.
But only with a Christed mind
Can there be peace on Earth!

So may it be to every one
Who’s ready to receive:
A very merry Christmas
And a heart that can believe.

Have all your “Happy holidays”
The whole rest of the year!
For Christmas spread the Truth of God
TO people far and near!

Cookie Cutter

Posted on by

Making cookies all the same,
That’s the cookie cutter game.
All alike and none that shine;
Who can really say, “That’s mine?”

Children grow and go to school,
Learning all the people’s rules:
“Do these things and don’t stand out,
This is how you must turn out.”

Intellect is praised and still,
Deep inside they’re not fulfilled.
Loving hearts and building hands
Are not in cookie cutter plans…

God has more for those who know
There are many ways to go,
Greater things to do and be,
Souls to fill and minds to free!

Cookie cutters make a shape,
But they never deviate.
Other shapes and paths aren’t wrong,
They just sing a different song!

God, the Spirit in us all,
Has a cookie cutter ball,
Rolls it on the earth for play,
For in His image we are made!

Cut your cookies, do it well,
Angels, snowmen, wreaths, stars, bells.
But remember all the while,
You’re no cookie cutter Child!
