Purification
Purification
I rise in the morning
and step out into the world
naked
accepting of the elements
communing with creation
and as I purify myself
in the holy waters
that flow through the forest,
I watch in a deep state of presence
as the leaves fall from the trees
beautifully and gracefully...
They've served their purpose
and let go with out fear
and in this new day
my thoughts and feelings
wash away as the leaves
surrender to the flow
and are carried down stream
I have no need for the past
all fear, doubt and worry
is washed away...
I step out of the current
and my energy is awakened
I breathe as if it were my first breath
I see as though it were my first sight
all my senses are fresh
I am ALIVE
I am free
I am rooted in this world
and feel it's true essence
and therefor my own

The color in my eyes
The color in my eyes
My eyes are tired
They’ve seen so much…
So much beauty
So much pain
So much injustice…
My eyes are green
With envy
With love
Green like a blade of grass
Looking up at the world
And those who walk upon it
Green like a leaf on the very top of a tree
Falling down
Caught in the wind
Drenched in the rain
My eyes are red
From lack of sleep
Lack of a bed
But it is these blessings that bring me this perspective
When I look up at you all
I feel humble, meek
When I fall down I feel free, un-attached.
My eyes are white
Like my skin
Lacking color
White as a shameful ghost
A plague to this land
White like the paper that taught the illiterate the concept of oppression
My eyes are black
In the center
There is no light
Just a void
that sucks everything in
Soaking it into my consciousness
un-able to understand this world of insanities
the look on the faces
of those we ignore
the lust
the grief
the drool on the drunken faces
passed out cold in the street
pants wet
stained.
a street cleaner goes by...
the lights change color and cars drive by
where are the answers?
When will the time come,
To change the color in my eyes...
The wheels go round and round
Nothing changes
Just a new name
A new face
Same weapons
What I’ve seen
What I know
Who am eye ?
I can only tell you about the color in my eyes,
The teargas
The broken glass
The visions...
Of terror
Of death
Of destruction
Of life
Of Love
And light
Green in the forest
Golden light of the sunrise
Vast space
Solitude
Surfing the crowd in front of the stage
Thousands of eyes
The blur of LSD
The blood dripping down the mirror, looking back at me
The cold stillness in the face of my dead friend
The molten lava spewing from the earth
The moonlight shining to me,
beneath the surface of the rapids
The phosphorescence sparkling around me as I dive
beneath the sea
The galaxy shining from below as I paddle on a
saltwater mirror
… in between the lines are the other senses
Reading these words cannot reach you in any other way
The color in my eyes cannot reveal to you any experience I’ve had
Only you can guess
What tales
What life
What adventure presents itself in each moment
As we fall into our traps
Into the depth of our eyes
The pupils
The pits
The treasure…
The color in my eyes
Is changing
As I open them to a new world
I cannot see tomorrow
Until it is today
Then it will be the past
And will fade away
What do you see?
The color in my eyes ?

Beauty in all things
Becoming Conscious
becoming conscious
the only thing "bad"
is our inability to see the good in all things ; )
becoming conscious of our inner peace
or lack thereof
is paramount
then we can consciously choose
how do I want to feel?
why am I letting ___ stop me?
is that just a scapegoat for me to blame people or situations "external to me"
so that I don't have to take responsibility for my life?
my life being how I feel NOW
all else is a phantom of mental conditioning
or a projection of how things should be
may all thoughts words and deeds stem from love
that is the force of creation
fear is only a reaction
and has no creative power
except to give you more of the same
what do you choose?

what matters most to me
The fading gold of dusk
reflecting on the restless sea
comes washing over the shore
blurring thought and memory
the city comes alive
an electric galaxy
it seems so familiar
yet so foreign to me
the hum of a million roars
the smoke of the street
the genocide of concrete
so invasive yet discrete
and I seem to recall
getting lost in it all
the noise
the joys
of an ocean
of possibilities...
yet blowing in the wind
is what matters most to me.

PEACE IS THE WAY
PEACE IS THE WAY
As we awaken
we begin to co-create a new world
as partners with the divine light
shining in and through each
and everyone of us
we shed our fears
we stop fighting
and we see that our shadows
are only aspects of our selves
that need nothing more than love (complete acceptance)
A global awakening
from fear and control
and falsely perceived scarcities
into love, light and abundance
releasing our greatest potential
in us and in our societies
we see how fear was used
to pit us against each other
in a barbaric battle
to uphold pyramid structure of domination
we declare our freedom
and in love, we forgive
all the horrors perpetuated in unconscionable behavior
we are no longer plugged into the matrix (brainwashing media)
programed to be slaves
to stratified greed systems
that cannibalize all life on earth
we now see the sacredness in all things
we no longer systematically oppress races, classes or countries
we are all equal
and there IS enough
for all of us to prosper
within the balance
of a functioning biosphere
corporations, military, fossil fuels and power structures are now irrelevant,
stone-age relics
we reclaim our power
we renounce fear
we recognize that all war is class war (oppression)
and we abolish our own slavery
we step into the light
we celebrate our love
for each other
and all life
as our family
awaken now
the time is upon us
to express our true selves
to stand in our truth
to let our light shine
fearlessly
love is the answer
when we put down our weapons
and "love our enemies"
we realize there is
NO THING TO FEAR
peace is the way

"self" love
I forgive myself completely and accept my self
as perfect "in the eyes of God"
I love myself unconditionally
I release my need for approval of others
judgement is not love
anyone who judges cannot know love
my self love expands
reaching out into the heavens
forgiving all
accepting what is
and providing space for the new to grow
and change
and evolve
I have nothing but compassion for all
I forgive those who "trespass" against "me"
as I have "trespassed" against "them"
for there is no "me" or "them"
and the act of trespassing was done unconsciously and served it's purpose
- to trigger the awakening
into the unity
into the awareness
of what barriers I have within me
that only "separate" "me" from all that is
so I not only forgive you, I thank you
our "sins" are blessings
this is the light of truth
for to sin means: to miss the point
and if not for our "mistakes" we would not learn
we can only know light, after being in the darkness
wisdom comes through experience
all my suffering had indeed not been in vain
for I now see above, beyond an through it
and I now see that there is no matter...
only temporary forms of consciousness
I have peeled the onion
I have split the atom
I have reached into the depths of space
only to find my awareness as the essence of all "things"
today, as I pick up my paint brush
I choose to paint a beautiful world
with love
with peace
and joy
and I refuse to accept anything else as reality
I turn off the (bad) news
I don't read what the media wants me to think in the papers
for I know what I think is what manifests
I am the creator
I am the broadcaster
I am the observer
the paradigm has shifted
and the old world of fear
is the compost from which my flowers now blossom
with love and gratitude
amen

question deeply
what is real?
only what you believe
as such
a "fake" guru is "real"
yet, their only teaching may be:
not to follow sheep,
not to be a sheep!
"god" is within you
seeking elsewhere is simply a longer trip
to the same destination...
"... I once was lost, but now I'm found..."

who "I" am
(written on august 14th, in the desert, on a fast and a day of silence)
My consciousness can only expand
to the degree that I let go of my conceptualizations of "who I am",
or even "what I am".
I am in all places at once.
I am here
I am there
I am everywhere
All that I see
I am
All that I feel,
I am
As I learn to truly love myself
I am more forgiving of "others"
I am more accepting of what is
and I begin to integrate consciously,
all challenges into opportunities for growth, self realization,
and compassion
the world is my palette
with an infinite variety of colors!
my consciousness is the pure white canvass
to which I paint scenes upon
some beautiful
some sad
some dark...
yet as I awaken
I find that my will is the paint brush,
I can choose the colors of my liking
Indeed there is only one cosmic mirror
and all that manifests
all that I perceive is my own projection
and now that I can see within
I can observe objectively
without limitation
or bias
towards what I previously perceived as being possible
My only desire is liberation
my will is creation itself
my power is love
the only true power
it is that which unifies
all else is illusion
yet there is value in this dream
for if not for sleep
we could not wake...

the state of the world
in terms of the state of the world,
I'm trying to unplug more from the www. matrix. world.com
-weird - just typing that it, it actually found a hyperlink @$#%%^%
so my answer is putting my head into the dirt
not like an ostrich, like a farmer
I want to grow as much of my own food as possible
and give less money to the war machine ie: world bank
I intend to be as independent and self-sustaining as possible
(and enjoyable)
I intend to soften my footprint on our sacred mother earth, as much as possible
I intend to speak only words of love, praise and gratitude
I intend to be the change I want to see in the world
with loving kindness
world peace is within us all

it is you...
everything is as it is,
as it should be...
as I created it,
perfect.
all that matters
is love
and how I act on love
every moment
creating peace
within
and without
without limitation
awakening to infinity
to the brink of eternity
blooming like a rose
like the rising sun
expanding like the universe
feel complete fulfillment
here and now
hear the symphony of peace
feel the wave, the frequency - the absolute
let go
surrender
open
spread your wings
fly on the wind of serenity
glow with the light of a star...
it is you
your mind is the only barrier to enlightenment
rise above it
realize your true nature
and connect to the source of all
that one love
it is you

Surrender
SURRENDER
learning to go with the flow
simply a process of letting go of fear
as the light of awareness begins to shine,
one can see through the veils
the front, the facade
and as the image in the mirror sharpens
we see that it is only us
projecting from our subconscious illusions
let the light shine into your conceptual closet...
let it dissolve your shadows
and throw out those old clothes that don't fit you anymore
