My Every Breath

My Every Breath

tinges of fear

bits of sadness

boredom

a slight anger

all reveal my lingering

allegiance to the unreal …

…a world of separate ways

and foolish things …

remaining in spite of

firm commitment to

my at-One-ment…

patience with myself

is called to come

and silently bless

all untruthfulness …

in total trust that grace

will have its way with me

and bring the peace of God

i call for with my every breath

"Your mind is dividing its allegiance between two kingdoms, and you are totally committed to neither. Your identification with the Kingdom is totally beyond question except by you, when you are thinking insanely. What you are is not established by your perception, and is not influenced by it at all. Perceived problems in identification at any level are not problems of fact. They are problems of understanding, since their presence implies abelief that what you are is up to you to decide. The ego believes this totally, being fully committed to it. It is not true. The ego therefore is totally committed to untruth, perceiving in total contradiction to the Holy Spirit and to the knowledge of God." (T-7.VI

Denisa Responds:

..i love your honesty dearest michael...for i recognize these things
within myself as well....tinges....lingering attachment to what i think i perceive...
a feeling of "where is the love" comes over me in tiny moments..........yet...
there is a knowing now..........a knowing from the depths of my being
that allows these thoughts to flow thru almost unimpeded...and when i
believe them to be real...in that moment...i remember..........there is only love...I AM loved...
I am here to expand it..................i allow all the shadows to dance around my field
of perception...yet within me.........i know....

Past Hurts

Past Hurts

the past so hurts
when made real...
only my blessing
of feelings hurt
allows them
to disappear...
allowing the 'new now'
to emerge
in my awareness...
to be enjoyed
as Abba's gift to me...

"Forget the time of terror that has been so long ago corrected and undone.
Can sin withstand the Will of God? Can it be up to you to see the past and
put it in the present? You can go back. And everything that points the
way in the direction of the past but sets you on a mission whose
accomplishment can only be unreal. Such is the justice your All-Loving
Father has ensured must come to you. And from your own unfairness to
yourself has He protected you. You cannot lose your way because there is no
way but His, and nowhere can you go except to Him." (T-26.V.9)

Only Love is Real

Only Love is Real


to resist anything

is to

block the flow of god...

god is but love...

therefore

every moment is the flow

of gods love...

denisa

the very act of resisting
keeps the illusion
in your mind as reality for you
it will continue
to show and show and show
one form or another
until blessed
as the reminder that
only love is real

Thoughts and Feelings on Barbara's Passing

Yesterday my first wife and the mother of my six children passed out of this world of duality. Here is what came to me:

Thoughts and Feelings on Barbara's Passing

when someone close
has passed from view
remembering is such a trap
it brings what never was
to the fore of now
and makes illusions
real once more
no peace in remembering
no love in remembering

when shadows of what 'was'
fade from view allowing
what 'is' to shine on thru
a light of truth shines
upon my soul and says
"you are Home at one with them
a place both never left
where peace is all for all
knowing love is all they brought"
being there, in love's place
remembering has lost its sting
and peace is all their passing brings
to lighten burdens felt
yet others never really dealt

A Knot Within My Chest

A Knot Within My Chest

but tells me of my guilt

calling the critic
who so tries

to fix up what is perfect...
upsetting love's expression
attempting to block love's
sight
by making what appears 'to be'
un-right

guilt disguised and somewhat felt
tries so hard to hide love's melting
into my soul's longing for itself
without the slightest sign of dis-grace
for the separating thought
that you and i are apart...
and thinking someway
my fixing you somehow
returns god's loving grace to me
oh what fool's we mortals be
not knowing that only love's way
extinguishes all mortality
sending life's ways
throughout eternity

THE LOVE WITHIN ALL

I AM the voice of love

within all things…

I AM not the body…

I AM the very love that abides within

and encircles

all of creation…

Self love is the key to awakening…

to love my Self…

to honor and claim my worthiness

to “ experience” the love that I AM

is to honor and claim it for all…

we are one

appearing in many bodies

as my love for Self grows

I awaken all to their

true nature…

I AM the voice of love

within all…

I Exist???

Dear friends,

For most of my life (about 64 of my 71 years on this planet,) I have been on
a "spiritual" quest to satisfy the longing in my soul to know Truth. "What
am I?" My search has taken me through numerous disciplines. My seeking has
finally been satisfied with the vichara practice of simply noticing that I
exist - without trying to *understand* it.

I have seen through the illusion. I am at peace, accepting what IS exactly the way it is.
The more often I pause throughout the day and simply notice that *I'm here*,
the more I smile and realize that there's nothing more that needs to be
done. Everything is perfect. Even in difficult situations or emotions -
what I seem to experience is of absolutely no consequence. What's SO is
also So What! The underlying, constant sameness is all that exists in
Reality. The case of mistaken identity with self has been resolved. I
simply AM.

Peace, Love and Joy,

~Phil

I Exist???

when 'i' say 'i' exist
who is the 'i' that is referring to the i' ???
funny conundrum is it not???
can there be an 'i' without the questioner 'i' ????
all 'i' know is that 'i' don't know
all i can 'practice' is trust that all
is unfolding for my benefit
and somehow all is connected thru
the I That I Am

A Simple Declaration Suffices

A Simple Declaration Suffices

I Am Christ
The Only Son of the only Father
The Only creation of the One Creator
The full extension of the Source of all
The love extended to extend but love

i am invited
i accept the invitation offered me
and as i do all are included
in my simple declaration
allowing grace to flow over us all

michael for us all

From question 12 in the Manual for Teachers:

"How many teachers of God are needed to save the world?

"The answer to this question is -- one. One wholly perfect teacher, whose learning is complete, suffices. This one, sanctified and redeemed, becomes the Self Who is the Son of God. He who was always wholly spirit now no longer sees himself as a body, or even as in a body. Therefore he is limitless. And being limitless, his thoughts are joined with God's forever and ever. His perception of himself is based upon God's Judgment, not his own. Thus does he share God's Will, and bring His thoughts to still deluded minds. He is forever one, because he is as God created him. He has accepted Christ, and he is saved.

... God's teachers appear to be many, for that is what is the world's need. Yet being joined in one purpose, and one they share with God, how could they be separate from each other? What does it matter if they then appear in many forms? Their minds are one; their joining is complete. And God works through them now as one, for that is what they are. --end quote

I Do Not Have to Find God

I Do Not Have to Find God

i simply need to shine
my inner light
upon all the soot and grime
i though i have allowed to gather
upon the mirror
which is God's soul
masquerading as a separate me
the light is cleansing light
it needs no additive
it needs no effort
to allow its cleansing force
to remove whatever
mistakenly i thought was there
to block love's reflection

michael

"In this world you can become a spotless mirror, in which the Holiness of
your Creator shines forth from you to all around you. You can reflect Heaven
here. Yet no reflections of the images of other gods must dim the mirror
that would hold God's reflection in it. Earth can reflect Heaven or hell;
God or the ego. You need but leave the mirror clean and clear of all the
images of hidden darkness you have drawn upon it. God will shine upon it of
Himself. Only the clear reflection of Himself can be perceived upon it."
(T-14.IX.5)

Healing

Healing

-so clear to me
it matters not what cure
you pursue
it is but the intent
to heal your mind
thru whatever forms
of unhealing the body
lovingly presents to you...
it is in the allowing
of this apparent sickness
that the body calls us to see
is here for our blessing...
to bless ourself thru blessing it
and allowing the at-one-ment
to take hold of our mind...
and if we choose
to heal the image of this mind
we present to our world
thru body's form

Lesson 140
‘Only salvation can be said to cure.’

“Cure is a word that cannot be applied to any remedy the world accepts as beneficial. What the world perceives as therapeutic is but what will make the body "better." When it tries to heal the mind, it sees no separation from the body, where it thinks the mind exists. Its forms of healing thus must substitute illusion for illusion. One belief in sickness takes another form, and so the patient now perceives himself as well.

He is not healed. He merely had a dream that he was sick, and in the dream he found a magic formula to make him well. Yet he has not awakened from the dream, and so his mind remains exactly as it was before. He has not seen the light that would awaken him and end the dream. What difference does the content of a dream make in reality? One either sleeps or wakens. There is nothing in between.

The happy dreams the Holy Spirit brings are different from the dreams of the world, where one can merely dream he is awake. The dreams forgiveness lets the mind perceive do not induce another form of sleep, so that the dreamer dreams another dream. His happy dreams are heralds of the dawn of truth upon the mind. They lead from sleep to gentle waking, so that dreams are gone. And thus they cure for all eternity.

Atonement heals with certainty, and cures all sickness. For the mind which understands that sickness can be nothing but a dream is not deceived by forms the dream may take. Sickness where guilt is absent cannot come, for it is but another form of guilt. Atonement does not heal the sick, for that is not a cure. It takes away the guilt that makes the sickness possible. And that is cure indeed. For sickness now is gone, with nothing left to which it can return.

Peace be to you who have been cured in God, and not in idle dreams. For cure must come from holiness, and holiness can not be found where sin is cherished. God abides in holy temples. He is barred where sin has entered. Yet there is no place where He is not. And therefore sin can have no home in which to hide from His beneficence .There is no place where holiness is not, and nowhere sin and sickness can abide.

This is the thought that cures. It does not make distinctions among unrealities. Nor does it seek to heal what is not sick, unmindful where the need for healing is. This is no magic. It is merely an appeal to truth, which cannot fail to heal and heal forever. It is not a thought which judges an illusion by its size, its seeming gravity, or anything that is related to the form it takes. It merely focuses on what it is, and knows that no illusion can be real.

Let us not try today to seek to cure what cannot suffer sickness. Healing must be sought but where it is, and then applied to what is sick so that it can be cured. There is no remedy the world provides that can effect a change in anything. The mind that brings illusions to the truth is really changed. There is no change but this. For how can one illusion differ from another but in attributes that have no substance, no reality, no core, and nothing that is truly different?

Today we seek to change our minds about the source of sickness, for we seek a cure for all illusions, not another shift among them. We will try today to find the source of healing, which is in our minds because our Father placed it there for us. It is not further from us than ourselves. It is as near to us as our own thoughts, so close it is impossible to lose. We need but seek it and it must be found.

We will not be misled today by what appears to us as sick. We go beyond appearances today, and reach the source of healing from which nothing is exempt. We will succeed to the extent to which we realize that there can never be a meaningful distinction made between what is untrue and equally untrue. Here there are no degrees, and no beliefs that what does not exist is truer in some forms than others. All of them are false, and can be cured because they are not true.

So do we lay aside our amulets, our charms and medicines, our chants and bits of magic in whatever form they took. We will be still and listen for the Voice of healing which will cure all ills as one, restoring saneness to the Son of God. No voice but This can cure. Today we hear a single Voice Which speaks to us of truth where all illusions end, and peace returns to the eternal quiet home of God.

We waken hearing Him, and let Him speak to us five minutes as the day begins, and end the day by listening again five minutes more before we go to sleep. Our only preparation is to let our interfering thoughts be laid aside, not separately, but all of them as one. They are the same. We have no need to make them different, and thus delay the time when we can hear our Father speak to us. We hear Him now. We come to Him today.

With nothing in our hands to which we cling, with lifted hearts and listening minds we pray:

‘Only salvation can be said to cure.
Speak to us, Father, that we may be healed.’

And we will feel salvation cover us with soft protection, and with peace so deep that no illusion can disturb our minds, nor offer proof to us that it is real. This will we learn today. And we will say our prayer for healing hourly, and take a minute as the hour strikes to hear the answer to our prayer be given us as we attend in silence and in joy. This is the day when healing comes to us. This is the day when separation ends, and we remember Who we really are.”

“ACIM Workbook Lesson 139
I will accept Atonement for myself.

We have a mission here. We did not come to reinforce the madness that
we once believed in. Let us not forget the goal that we accepted. It
is more than just our happiness alone we came to gain. What we accept
as what we are proclaims what everyone must be, along with us. Fail
not your brothers, or you fail yourself. Look lovingly on them, that
they may know that they are part of you, and you of them.”

I Breathe

--

I Breathe in love comes in unformed... out a form of Love now sent to all... no more sorrow for mistakenly thinking one is separate and different from one... as all is seen as the One I Am if this is not your present finding no need for pining just offer me forgiveness for my haste and come to All when your time has gone to waste in any event i offer thanks for all you are to me and all you give to fill my Fullest Self

My Choice

My Choice

the fear of illness
the fear of pain
the fear of death
had manifested this
cancer
for me

my choice!!!!

to falsify myself
thru fear's unrealities
yet seemingly so real

'Now'

i choose again
my true self
blessing all my
manifistations
of cancer in my body
allowing them to be
a vehicle to discern
Love pervading all
Love eternal
Love needing no defense

the cancer is gone
no longer needed
Love can find its way alone
expressed without delay
without a need
to hide from prey

ACIM Workbook Lesson 137
"When I am healed I am not healed alone.

Sickness would prove that lies must be the truth. But healing
demonstrates that truth is true. The separation sickness would impose
has never really happened. To be healed is merely to accept what
always was the simple truth, and always will remain exactly as it has
forever been. Yet eyes accustomed to illusions must be shown that what
they look upon is false. So healing, never needed by truth, must
demonstrate that sickness is not real. . . . Those who heal become the
instruments of healing."

Only Truth Is True

Only Truth Is True

those who commit
the most heinous crimes
offer us the greatest gifts....
the child molesters,
the perpetrators of genocide,
the abuses of woman and children,
the violent attackers
upon the weak and different,
the terrorists who care not
for whom they harm,
the grand embezzlers
and 'ponsy' schemers...

oh bless them all
for bringing to my consciousness
my murderous and self-ish thoughts
meant to fool me
into believing what separation's
perpetration has wrought is true
when truth of Love is true
and only truth is true

"You could not recognize your "evil" thoughts as long as you see value in
attack. You will perceive them sometimes, but will not see them as
meaningless. And so they come in fearful form, with content still concealed,
to shake your sorry concept of yourself and blacken it with still another
"crime." You cannot give yourself your innocence, for you are too confused
about yourself. But should brother dawn upon your sight as wholly
worthy of forgiveness, then your concept of yourself is wholly changed. Your
"evil" thoughts have been forgiven with his, because you let them all affect
you not. No longer do you choose that you should be the sign of evil and of
guilt in him. And as you give your trust to what is good in him, you give it
to the good in you." (T-31.VII.2)

The Age of Forgetting

The Age of Forgetting

all grievances
all guilt
all regrets
all triumphs
all defeats
all fears
go with
the remembering of
Who "I Am"

"He who by questing inward for
The Knower, has destroyed the ego
And transcended so-called knowledge
Abides as the Self. He alone
Is a true knower, not one who has
Not seen the Self and therefore has
An ego still.

Those who, learning to forget
Completely all objective knowledge,
Turn inward firmly and see clearly
The truth, abide serene. Those who
Try to recall forgotten things
Pine bewildered, fretting over
False phenomena."

~The Garland of the Guru's Sayings,
verses 133 & 134

The Road Not Taken

The Road Not Taken

two or more roads
may converge in
the woods of our mind
it matters not how many
all lead to death
another road exists
and may be chosen
this is the road to awakening
to our Fullest Self
but is not a road at all
but is the relinquishing of roads
and reuniting with
the truth of who we be

michael

"Real choice is no illusion. But the world has none to offer. All its roads
but lead to disappointment, nothingness and death. There is no choice in its
alternatives. Seek not escape from problems here. The world was made that
problems could not escaped. Be not deceived by all the different names
its roads are given. They have but one end. And each is but the means to
gain that end, for it is here that all its roads will lead, however
differently they seem to start; however differently they seem to go. Their
end is certain, for there is no choice among them. All of them will lead to
death. On some you travel gaily for a while, before the bleakness enters.
And on some the thorns are felt at once. The choice is not what will the
ending be, but when it comes." (T-31.IV.2)

Synchronicity

Graceful Synchronicity a sea of dancing light energy swirls all about i spin and delight in the freely given nectar of synchronicity the sweet taste gracefully streaming from the stars Michael I AM I Am You Are They Are S/He Is All Is The Sea of Synchronicity Michael

Synchronicity Must Take the Bow We think its synchronicity when two or more experience simultaneously what neither one had known before different forms collapsing space to seem to be one place and did you know that synchronicity flows through time as well in prophesy Isaiah said much of birth and death in declaration JFK sent us to the moon and the babe pointed out the path and fall of his illustrious ball in the first is space’s collaps-ed in the second is time suspend-ed to be the one to be the now synchronicity must take the bow

Archetypal Synchronicity By Paul Levy Synchronicities are those moments of “meaningful coincidence” when the boundary dissolves between the inner and the outer. At the synchronistic moment, just like a dream, our internal, subjective state appears, as if materialized in, as and through the outside world. Touching the heart of our being, synchronicities are moments in time in which there is a fissure in the fabric of what we have taken for reality and there is a bleed through from a higher dimension outside of time. Synchronicities are expressions of the dreamlike nature of reality, as they are moments in time when the timeless, dreamlike nature of the universe shines forth its radiance and openly reveals itself to us, offering us an open doorway to lucidity. Synchronicity was one of Jung’s most profound yet least understood discoveries, in part because it cannot be appreciated until we personally step into and experience the synchronistic realm for ourselves. Jung’s discovery of synchronicity was in a sense the parallel in the realm of psychology to Einstein’s discovery of the law of relativity in physics. Because it is so radically discontinuous with our conventional notions of the nature of reality, the experience of synchronicity is so literally mind-blowing that Jung contemplated this phenomenon for over twenty years before he published his thinking about it. Jung’s synchronistic universe was a new world view which embraced linear causality while simultaneously transcending it. A synchronistic universe balances and complements the mechanistic world of linear causality with a realm that is outside of space, time and causality. In a synchronicity, two heterogeneous world-systems, the causal and acausal, interlock and interpenetrate each other for a moment in time, which is both an expression of while creating in the field an aspect of our wholeness to manifest. The synchronistic universe is beginning-less in that we are participating in its creation right now, which is why Jung calls it “an act of creation in time.” To illustrate what he meant by the word synchronicity, Jung brings up an experience he shared with a patient of his. This particular patient was very caught in her head, and the analysis was seemingly going nowhere. She was stuck, trapped in the self-created prison of her own mind. Jung realized there was nothing he could do. In Jung’s words, “I had to confine myself to the hope that something unexpected and irrational would turn up, something that would burst the intellectual retort in which she had sealed herself.” She had an impressive dream the night before, in which someone offered her a golden scarab – a valuable piece of jewelry. At the moment she was telling Jung the dream, there was a tapping on the office window. Jung opened up the window and a scarabaeid beetle, whose gold-green color closely resembles that of a golden scarab, flew into the room. Jung caught the beetle in his hand, handed it to her and said “Here is your scarab.”

Masculine/Feminine Christ

Masculine/Feminine Christ

Dear denisa,

this describes how i feel

about our relationship

in the world i made...

i often longed for the 'sacred heart'

to manifest...

this is what we do

along with anne...

we three are One

in a world of separation

and it frightens many...

steadfastly we persist

in the knowing of

the righteousness of our union

glued together

by the energies called jeshua

"the feminine of each of you desires

to experience only love…

the masculine of you

brings it forth…"

this is what we do!

i love you as Myself,

michael

THE BIRTHING OF THE FEMININE CHRIST… GREETINGS UNTO YOU beloved and “wholly” friends… I use the word “wholly” to describe the truth of you… whole and complete “now” however, in the dream of separation from that which YOU are you have thought yourself to be simply the body… trying, seeking over and over again to find your truth in the shadows of the illusion… seeking will perpetuate the dream… knowing, knowing the truth of who you ARE dissolves it… yes, this is so This one whom I speak thru walked with me in the time of my earth life known by all who knew me by the name of Jesus… however I have come again to bring forth the feminine energies thru the lessons of this one and others… she has come again sent to the world from Me to awaken the Feminine Christ… yet, do not find special ness in this one… she is you simply awakening a little ahead of you it would seem to awaken all of “herself”/yourself yes, 2000 years ago I walked this world as a man I birthed the masculine Christ and yet, the Magdalene, my beloved is a symbol of all of you the feminine Christ seeming to appear in body as male and female yet you are ONE birthing the feminine of god itself… your SELF… we are simply a symbol of the separation… the feminine of myself, yourself took the thought of creating separate from the masculine of yourself/myself Now this is the time of the birthing of the feminine Christ while you still abide in a body… As male and female, you are experiencing the awakening thru the feminine energies of the Christ… another word would be Christ Consciousness.. the remembrance that you are as I AM…. I was not Jesus the Christ I AM Jesus who “ birthed Christ Consciousness” while in body… I birthed the masculine Christ… what is Christ Consciousness??? it is that which you are the thought of “love in form” the Mind of God…. This one whom I speak thru has surrendered her very life and all that would entail to become a clear vehicle of love’s expression while yet in body…. I come this day to speak to you of what the birthing of the feminine Christ means for both male and female bodies…. the feminine ones are slowly letting go of the labels of womanhood… love is calling and thru this call many of the feminine are watching their “chicks” move abandon, wound or “change their faces” as part of their remembrance of what the feminine truly is… the feminine Christ is all encompassing love… it allows all to be as they are… it does not judge, it does not attack… it simply abides in its own essence… the perfection of love… what is love??? love allows all things, embraces all things transcends all things The masculine embodiment at this time is being “forced”, nudged to give up their role as the caretaker… the provider…the protector… why is this so??? because the union of the masculine and feminine is all inclusive… you are one… the perfect twin union of male and female within yourself whether you be male or female… thus, the masculine is having “situations” come to their field of awareness that are bringing them to surrender... to moments of asking “what is my role’??? who am I…. and it is very good…. the feminine is having “situations” where she is being asked to allow her “flock” to be free… to love soooo unconditionally that you see them as perfect and free no judgment no attack…. simply allowance of their journey this balance is the true union of that which you are… you are God in body…. thus, the awakening is pulling at your old beliefs… how would one navigate these changes and let go of fear??? SURRENDER…. for in the remembrance of surrender you are once again whole and complete… the feminine of you surrenders her love her desires to the masculine of herself…. the masculine of yourself/herself is the very power by which all form Is witnessed and experienced…. the awakening is the remembrance of your true state before the separation…. the feminine of each of you desires to experience only love… the masculine of you brings it forth… so, taking thought thinking for yourself from the mind you have used for eons will only bring you restlessness… surrender my beloveds state your desires claim your worthiness… allow love itself to undo this dream of temporary imaginings so distant from loves truth…. simply rest in the loving arms of the highest Self of you which is the true union of male, female…. it is standing directly behind you animating your very body… emanating its love thru every cell of your being… you are ONE SON… ONE TURNING… ONE UNIVERSE…. that which you are… YOU ARE BUT LOVE’S EXPRESSION walking in a body extending love itself into creation…!!!! be at peace beloved and “wholly” friends for no matter the appearance all is well…. ALL IS WELL!!!!!!!!!!! Jeshua ben Joseph thru denisa
