Recently, while hanging out by the water, I began contemplating on what made me feel good and what made me feel the opposite of that preferred state of being. I realized as I was channeling through different memories in my mind that the common factor was if my heart was truly at peace with an idea. Now whether that idea was in a form of a person, place or thing didn’t matter but it was more about where my heart stood on the issue. I must admit that I had been deceived in the past and have also fooled myself into thinking that some things were good for me when the universe was giving me every indication to run the other way.

In the last three years I have been in complete awareness of my state of being as being the most important factor in any circumstance in my life. Till that day at the water this idea has still held its validity and importance. Are there things going on in your life that you have no control of? It’s really a rhetorical question. You will find peace once you begin to realize that letting go gives you complete freedom from any suffering the human mind brings you. I have began to realize (through a mentor) that all of life is conspiring to get me as care free as humanely possible. If I were to just let go and let joy be my compass. It is when we are living in that joy that life truly works for us and not against us.

Begin, to understand that your heart is truly the key that unlocks everything in your experience. Pay attention and listen to that inner voice and feeling. It will not lead you astray. As, the scripture says: Be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication - Philippians 4:6-7. Looking back now, I can see where I was too hasty or perhaps not being expansive enough to entertain new ideas that would break me free from my so called human issue. I challenge everyone to turn your back on the issues of life if only for a moment and find the center inside yourself. It is in that secret place you will not only find your answers but your true joy as well.

Summer time is officially here! In this season most of us crave water and fun under the sun. I was fortunate enough to get out to Northern California to visit with a very good friend of mine and let me say, the weather was perfect! All of the smiling faces and joyful noises of the city made me realize that everything is in perfect harmony at all times. While also realizing that everything is constantly coming and going. You see we must eat the things of eternity. Now you may ask, how do I do that? How is that even possible? Well, my answer is simple: chew on wisdom where you stand.

There is something very powerful about having knowledge and wisdom in which most of the world doesn’t stand on nor live by. Everywhere you show up it shall carry you forth in the midst of the dream of consciousness. You see as I and many others before me have boldly proclaimed that the physical world is merely a thought or perception acted out on a stage with it’s many false appearances, it is always wise to see beyond the show and get a peak behind the curtain. I have come to find that many the things we chew on in typical mortal fashion is frivolous and bitter to the senses. We chew on worry and fear, we taste the sting of death when a tragedy occurs expectedly or unexpectedly. But once you see beyond the curtain and understand life’s grand show then you can swallow things a lot easier and perhaps not take them that serious anymore.

To eat the living words of the Christ and to be set free from death. Doesn’t that sound wonderful? For the last three years I have seen so many miracles occur by being still and allowing wisdom to show up by principle. There is no other governing force in the universe but the goodness of GOD. So sweet and tender are the words of life and this is what I choose to feed my soul. I challenge everyone to not only be mindful of your physical diet but also your mental and spiritual as well. Are there things you are feeding your soul that are unhealthy? Perhaps, it’s time for something new and refreshing. Something that builds up and doesn’t tear down. If you are looking for something new to feast on then try wisdom. I promise it will not lead you astray and you shall taste everlasting life in this perfect moment.

As I walk the streets of Berkeley, I hear sounds coming and going, birds flying to-and-fro from tree to tree, people before my eyes walking and running and then vanishing beyond some point of no return. Will I ever see these people again? Will I feel the same air on my face from yesterday? A lot of thoughts come through my mind as I am breathing in inspiration from all angles. Taking in all forms of life from movement of energy. It is exciting!

To experience peace in this moment is how I shall define my moment in time. The letting go without toil. The holding on without effort. Everything in it's perfect balance. Being in the center by definition is to be at the middle point of the circle or sphere and to be the thing in which everything gravitates back to. It can feel that way at times. The thought that every negative attitude has something to do with us or if some smile was directed our way we attribute it to some self-proclaimed good nature in which we have so carefully examined from a place of constant change. If we would only realize that peace is always in expression. These traits of the universe can not be owned nor stored away, nor done away with. It is the absolute! 

How do we come to realize this state of perfect peace? Must we struggle and toil for something so free and infinite? As, I am in the unfolding process I begin to know and therefore I experience. No longer shall things be here as more than a thought and fleeting moment of bliss or pain. Both are connected with our own perception of reality and it is from this place which either guides or cripples mentally. If we choose to be guided by 5-sense reality we are doomed for the latter. To become, therefore I am. That is the mantra. Peace is wherever you show up. Peace is the mission in which you so proudly choose to serve and honor.

Have you ever looked back on your own life and thought to yourself, “Wow, I have come so far in my journey!”. If you are like me then you may have also thought of those moments when you felt like you weren’t going to make it out alive. I mean being so wrapped up in trouble and shame that there seemed to be no end to the darkness within and without. It wasn’t until the last few years that I realized all these troubling “states” are the constant falling away of our false identity. It was with this powerful new belief that I realized that there was a constant unfolding of our true “Christ” self. It was to be the perfection of our faith as the scripture says. (Hebrews 12:2)

As, I begin to become more aware of the present moment, I am able to rest in the presence of GOD a lot more. The emotions that are in constant flux that govern our actions and words will start to mature in the ways of our heavenly estate (Higher Consciousness = GOD MIND). It is with this confidence I can say to drop all belief of anything you thought you were and wake up to the truth of your identity right now! For the Kingdom of GOD is at hand (Mark 1:15). Meaning: the heavenly presence of GOD can be found at any moment in now-space reality. There is no you, them, and me. There is only the identify of Christ who is GODS perfect man made pure in his image. 

Now, you may tell me: how can that be if I am seeing a variety of people with different personalities right in front of me? I say to you that it is merely the human five sense reality witnessing it’s own dream right before itself. You see man feels that he is separated from GOD because of the power of sin. If we were to study the power of sin aka the carnal mind we would begin to see that it is impersonal. This is what Jesus knew about the world. He knew the world was not there and only the Father was true. Everything is governed by righteousness and we can adapt to the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-26) by reflecting what is always present (GODS LOVE) or we can act contrary to these beautiful states and follow our own ways which always lead to death. Perhaps, not a literal death but the death of ego and pride. It is in these times that the LORD will always be found to accept you as you are. He loves you no matter what state you are in because he sees the unfolding of your true identity.

Take comfort that right now you are in perfect harmony with the divine and trust in the process of letting go each moment by resting in who you are in Christ. This is the beginning of all wisdom and the falling away of what thought you were.

Last night as I was taking my nightly bike ride through the neighborhood, I was pondering the meaning of my experience in that moment. I felt joy and satisfaction as the cool breeze was blowing on my face and as I began to accelerate quicker I felt a freedom like no other. It was in that exact moment that I had a peaceful feeling of “knowing”. This knowing was the knowledge that I was in the perfect place at the perfect time doing exactly what I was supposed to be doing; experiencing pure bliss in the divine eternal without any fear or worry. Everything was clear and there was no doubt or obstruction of goodness in my mind. It was truly like a light had been lit inside my soul. The light was conveying that I am one with everything. There was no separation between me and the breeze or the cats I was passing by or even the sky above. This was truly the enlightenment of GOD in the here and now.

I often hear people talk about the many characteristics of the creator. Some would describe him as just and loving while others may describe the divine as spirit and truth. As, I am a firm believer in all these wonderful qualities of GOD, I cannot help but think there has to be en-light-enment to first come to the knowing of these aspects of the divine spirit. Without the light to show us the way we would be lost and confused. In other words: in complete darkness. If we take a look at scripture we will see that Jesus states: I am the light of the world (John 8:12). What did he mean by this? I believe he meant that he was the true path to GOD. Not in the appearance of material matter but rather in truth and in deed. As we study the heart and mind of the Christ we will begin to see an unselfish love and caring for the world. As we begin to live from this heart and mind we too will become as light for others in darkness. They will begin to observe the Christ Spirit and see that there is another way to live beside the worldly standard of today. They will truly begin to know the love and presence of GOD by your thoughts and deeds.

How many of us can say that we are living free from darkness? It appears to be all around us but one person with en-light-enment can lift an entire city up. We were made to be seen, not hidden according to the scripture (Mark 4: 21-23). To be an example to those who are walking in darkness according to their fleshly desires. I want to encourage everyone today to plug into something new and refreshing! Begin to tune out the normal ways of being and tune into the supernatural power inside yourself. With enough patience and diligent seeking you will find that the light of GOD has been inside of you this whole time waiting to be shown to the world around you. Be of good cheer and let your light shine!

As, I am beginning to write this I am contemplating the so-called future. There has been so much change in my life within the last year and because of this I am filled with all kind of emotion. A little fear mixed with a little excitement but nonetheless I am strengthening my faith in GOD as I navigate through this new season.  

Perhaps, you are feeling the same way and not just about personal things but with external circumstances that appear to be affecting our world as a whole. You see the world was never what we were taught it was; this round ball floating through space with billions of people who are all different from ourselves. In fact the world is all in your minds eye and everything that appears to be separate from you is in fact just an extension of your inner reality. Yes, everything is indeed connected! It was a big pill to swallow for myself a few years back on the beginning of my ascension when I realized that I was responsible for everything going on in this world. Now, you may say to yourself, “How am I responsible for all this chaos in the world? That is just not plausible.” Well, the fact is we all had a role to play in the insanity we see surrounding us via our judgements and belief in anything other than love. In other words we have all fallen short to the glory of GOD. 

We can also take cheer in this fact because if we indeed believe that we can sow anything other than love than we can rest assured that we can also sow “true” love in it’s purest form to heal our wounds and the broken hearted around us. I have found that in order to stay sane in a world appearing insane is to be still in GODS presence and lay down all judgement and condemnation. To rest in the knowing of GODS never changing perfection and to come from that state in order to bring anything contrary to that belief back to it’s perfect state with Christ consciousness. This transformation begins with self.  

A mentor of mine once said “In order to be whole in our being, we must first be connected to GOD, self and then others.” I have found so much truth in this statement and I know that you will too if you begin to open yourself up to a new understanding and revelation about your identity and the world around you. As the scripture says, “Perfect love casteth out fear” (1 John 4:18). So, today I challenge everyone to walk in this perfect love in order to be the change we need to bring order to the chaos and sanity to the insane around us.   

A Few Helpful Tips:  

*Stay Around Positivity. This may seem like a no-brainer but it can be challenging for some because of co-workers, family and old relationships but the more you can call in new positive energy the quicker things will begin to transform around you. (Be Patient)  

*Meditate. By meditating in a still quiet place you will be able to pay attention to your thoughts and get back into a relaxed state. Observe but do not judge. Rest in perfection and contemplate your own divinity in the presence of GOD while “being” in his holy presence. This is what the term “prayer closet” truly means.  

*Walk In Nature. Get away from routine and the busyness of the world from time to time. Make this apart of your daily habits. Along with meditation this is a powerful way to channel your breath and expand on your imagination by being around peaceful surroundings.  

*Prayer. Our word transcends both time and space. This is a powerful way to speak new things into our life and build a holy communion with GOD. Release all your cares and worries he already knows all your needs. You will find rest in his presence if we come to him in spirit and in truth.
