Pre-serving Life is to Love

I feel to talk about the spiritual life tonight and in particular god. I don’t actually call the energy of creation god, I call it omni. I felt inspired a long time to call it by that name, as it is nameless and it is everything, so I cannot see it as a something, no-one or no-thing is excluded, so how can I divide from anything.

On my journey I didn’t grow up with religion, I was aware of it, but my family was athiest. Somehow it found me, I don’t call it a he or she as I see it as life itself and for me I feel the touch of it through love. That is why for me if you be in harmony or peace, you simply ask is what I am doing or being loving. Or go one step further, if everyone did this, would it benefit people or not. For me love shares, cares, reveals and heals. It is completely transparent. That is why truth is often associated with omni (god). As there is no fear, simply stating it is what it is. It is not rigid thinking it is open to difference and other belief systems. I remember later in my life when my mother became a Christian we had some debates particularly over equality of women. Later on I realised that my mother had to travel that path, I didn’t resonate with her path, my path was different and I had to be true to myself. Yet all roads lead to Rome as they say. I see no right or wrong, therefore in my heart I accept all religions and cannot state that their path is wrong, as I don’t know the purpose of other people’s lives. Life operates as challenges and positives, this is how we all learn, it is not meant to be a smooth ride, and those who cause me hassle are my greatest teachers. I follow love and that inspires me to not judge but to allow life and simply choose my way, I can only go with the inner voice or feeling. So co-existance or acceptance is an exercise in loving all of it and trusting the design of life has an underlying wisdom that we may not see right now. Even in tragedy there is great acts of heroism and it is often in darkness that we see great light. I am a product of life, I did not create my life, yet my life exists.

Another important realisation is that judgement is unhelpful, I now use the word ‘discernment’, a simple seeing without colouring it. For example I don’t say I like/dislike the cup, I just describe the cup without making it good or bad. It is what it is. I feel this is the beginning of peace in the world. The humility is being aware that we don’t know all of it and what it is for. Also it doesn’t matter if you find god or not, what matters is do you love or not. If you love you will feel happy, if not you won’t be loving yourself or the world. Love is not needy, it is the source of love, that is you tap into love, which is the same as tapping into god (omni). So I don’t worry about anyone not knowing god, if they love I know they already do. The more you tap into your own love and be it, the more you will feel it, others become drawn to you. The more needy you are the more lack you will find and the belief that people are there to make you happy, rather than you being the source of your own happiness. Love is a wonderful way to live I found and it will always seek to pre-serve life, this is the foundation of a sustainable future. So you be the love you seek.

I wrote this for a friend who was seeking the spiritual path.

A BOOK OF JEWELS

The beautiful jewel,
Cannot be seen,
For it is in the unseen that beauty is created,
And you are creating beauty,
In ways unseen.

The book of life,
Cannot be edited once written,
For the story is the journey,
One can reflect,
And create new chapters,
For the ending can always be changed.

You have chosen to return home,
For home is where the heart is,
Many strive after objects,
For they feel they have nothing,
Many strive for status,
For they feel they don’t belong,
Many seek friends,
For they are afraid of aloneness,
Yet you are seeking aloneness,
Seeking not to belong,
Seeking nothing,
For within no action,
You can only be,
And to be human,
Is to see a human being,
And this is the great secret to life.

Keep going within,
For when you go without.
You go with-out.

Wisdom is not an intellectual exercise,
It comes from pain,
It comes from lovelessness,
It comes from seeing the game,
For the game is a play,
Many play with the truth,
Pedal myths,
Generate spin,
For they are in a hall of mirrors,
Where to look one cannot see,
One self.

For the faces of lives are masks,
We mask who we are,
We play with the image,
We play with the style,
We walk single file,
For we have not learned to walk the path,
And sit a while.

For it is in the silence,
That the noise cannot exist,
It is in peace that conflict disappears,
For unconditional love,
Is peace in action,
And when one has no conditions to love,
There is a limitlessness,
Life is an expanse,
For the horizon is expanding,
And each story passes away,
As the pages of time flutter in turn,
And fiction becomes fact,
For it is in dreams that reality is found,
For reality is dreamed,
And we are dreaming a new reality,
For only imagination is the limit,
Fear is the road block,
So simply go around the blocks,
And ignore the limits,
For the road is open,
All seasons.

So my friend,
The wise owl,
The one who sits at the branch,
Remain in space,
Remain in time,
For your truth is a beacon,
Your life is a precious breath,
And each moment brings you closer to home,
For you are never alone,
With truth.

To spend each day in freedom,
A sovereign being is a precious gift,
Learning from the masters is an honourable pastime,
For the future,
For you are keeping company with the masters,
They are neither above or below,
They simply know that waking,
Is a decision to open ones inner eyes,
And you have made that decision,
For the camel to move through a needle,
One must reverse all logic,
One must leap and then look,
One must respond to the song that grips the heart,
For this is the inspiration that connects the many to one,
For love is the answer,
And god lives in the eyes of love,
So look within for love,
There you will find god,
Looking lovingly back at you,
For to pre-serve life,
Is to serve the life created,
And this is what creates your life.
