Allowing an Awakening, Part Three...

                                                                             Allowing an Awakening


C​ontentedly cultivate harmony and elegance... wherein the "I" simply, and quite naturally, dissolves into the Divine Pregnancy...

​The more that is both the inspiration and the curse of our separated human condition requires a nonviolent, yet direct, confrontation: it is not simply because more is killing the Planet, but let's face it, we are not happy. We are not content. We are not even matching the hope of dandelions... We are in need of different...

What are the latest fashions? Until "fashion" cycles back to cover-alls, who cares? What is the latest gadget has long-since been surplanted by a stream of I-Phones... The world-wide-web, while serving at least one useful purpose, cannot open the door to your secret heart... and it is here, in your heart-mind, that your real life begins, ends, and renews in bliss...

​Without a crash course in either or both quantum physics or mysticism, you'll have to trust someone that the single word, the impossibly pregnant beauty, of namaste is the secret of the Universe... While it is quantum-truth that everything is a "cluster" of varying vibrations, informed, by Intelligence, it is also a mystic-truth that there is only one suitable or sufficient response to this... it is namaste... (nahm-us-teh)... The Divine in me adores the Divine in you... The Divine in me adores the Divine in Everyone... The Divine in me adores the Divine in Everything... The Divine in us adores the Divine in Global Beauty, Compassion, Equality, Justice, Service, and Peace...

​Delight it back to its senses is namaste in loving action: a stance taken up daily in, about, and through one's everyday life: cultivate harmony (being kind, just, and peaceful) and elegance (natural, beauty, humor) that the little self will, in the natural course of living, will, without fan-fare, dissolve into the Real Reality, the ever-present, Divine Pregnancy... And obviously, if you still don't understand, pick up a copy of the Gospel of Jesus: look up the Beatitudes and Parable of the Last Judgement (Matthew 5: 1 - 11 and 25: 31 - 46); read the Tao Te Ching by LaoTzu (tr. John H. McDonald); read the Bhagavad Gita (tr. Eknath Easwaran); read Rumi The Big Red Book (tr. Coleman Barks); read The Illuminated Hafiz (Green, Barks, Bly); and read A Global Ethic (Declaration of the Parliament of the World's Religions)... 

​Beatitude means blessing, happy, beautiful one, and welcome home from among other similar ideas... Beatitude is the Jesus-Way of namaste... Beatitude is the smile of the Buddha... Beatitude is the contented harmony of LaoTzu... Beatitude is the bliss of the whirling dance of both Sufi and Planet Earth... Beatitude is the subtle vibration of breath flowing as a river of life, into and through you... Beatitude  is Being-Consciousness-Bliss and your response of loving adoration...  And our practice is right under our feet: in the here of your where-ever... You begin, simply begin, with an invocation to Sacred Imagination (what would Paradise look like? How would everyone act and live in your Paradise? Then you practice...) You practice beauty: cultivate intention, contemplation, and compassion: expand your Sacred Imagination: embrace wider circles (who is left out? Who is left behind?)  Namaste is your breath... namaste is the way in which you walk... namaste is the food on your plate... namaste is the compassion that you build, serve, and give...
