The Question Is Harmony

The Question Is Harmony Harmony is one of the legs of a tripodstool. The other two legs are Love and Beauty. Here is my short sermon on Harmony: Harmony is a central goal and task for every heart-centered person. A mere glaance at the Nature all around us reveals an exquisite harmony, elegant in its simplicity and tuned so finely as to be often missed. It stands as a shrine to the wisdom of accepting the perfection of all. If you cannot see this, you are merely looking in the wrong direction.... Sign in to see full entry.

A short sermon on 'Now'.

A short sermon on 'Now '. Stop what you are doing and take a breath with full awareness and concentration of watching that breath. Watch it enter your body,;observe where it goes inside your body; observe it leaving takin with it impurities and waste water. Take another.... and now, one more. Now consider with me this simple truth. Now, is the ONLY time you can change something, do something, think something, remember something.

When the Holy Relationship Knocks on your Front Door

When the Holy Relationship Knocks on your Front Door If this has ever happened to you, you realize that you must make an important decision. Are you trusting that a holy relationship is your spiritual path? Are you ready to surrender all to this path? Are you ready for a decision requiring committment? God in-the-Other can be your path from this moment forward... or... you may make a new decision. It is no great matter; all choices... no difference.... "nothing can separate us from the Love of...

Could It Be?

Could It Be? Do not question Spirit when She speaks. You ask, "Could this be it?" Had you held your tongue, you would kniiw that it Is. It so Is! Every fear; every question, dissolves in the purity of this Love. You asked. God/dess answered. It is human to worry and question; But, not this. Shams says, "The only thing you have to lose is your attachment to all those plans. Even your current commitments are subject to renegotiation in the shakina Sign in to see full entry.

I Have Had a Lifetime of Holy Relationships

I Have Had a Lifetime of Holy Relationships And the funny thing is the older I get, the holier they get. These relationships pop up at the most unexpected times. In a grocery store line, in Wal-mart, driving down the street - all these have occasioned encounters of holy relationship. Some of these folks, I will never see again, some I see every day. I could easily encounter seven holy connections in a day. And then there are my beloved friends, folks who are so close that I sometimes cannot... Sign in to see full entry.

Is She It?

Is She It? Here is a poem I wrote right after our first deep encounter: Still Searching We have that in common, you and I. Both of us, hopeless romantics; Both of us, looking for love. I warned you that I was flirting. I told you straight out. Nevermind that the flirts were already past. Our darting-eye kissed faces betray us with their smiles. Broad, hungry, caring, wanting, needing. Once our Cupids touch, we must surrender to love or die. Dying sounds so awesome in your arms. Your youth, my... Sign in to see full entry.

Anything I can say about Jesus Christ ...

Anything I can say about Jesus Christ... I can say about my friend and Sufi teacher, Khabir. Now I see why Jesus gathered an intimate group of friends to spread His Mystical Messege. This path cannot be taught; it can only be caught. Khabir kindled a flame within my heart so that I cannot ever be in the darkness again. Thank you, oh Murshid! Thank you Jesus, the Great Techer, Healer and Friend. Togrther with Creator, we Three form a majority! Sign in to see full entry.

My Murshid passed on

My Murshid passed on My Murshid (teacher) passed on this weekend. Now I hear him speak to me from within. The Sufis call his day of passing, his wedding day. I must witness to this; I am closer to my teacher than i ever was while he was in the flesh. Now, I call on him anytime and anywhere and he answers. Sign in to see full entry.

Sacred Learning

Sacred Learning The Learning Goal: A Sufi has taken initiation in a path of sacred education. He/She makes the commitment to explore the journey of lerning offered by their initiator. Without the practice and exercise of the learning tasks offered by this path, the mureed (student) will make little progress. The goal of the learning is mastery. Mastery: The goal od scred learing is mastery. Mastery over what? Mastery over the small self, the personality. One does not do away with the ego, one... Sign in to see full entry.

Holy Shit

Holy Shit I once attended a Sufi Camp where the theme was ' Turning Our Shit into Compost '. Praise God, for this Holy process. This process works like this: The world bashes our fragile egos; we are forced by the pain, to take an honest, dispassionate look at our 'stuff'. This is the beginning of repentance. We see how we have colluded with temptation. At that moment we see, we can choose again. 'As for me and my house, we shall choose The Almighty.' Repentance is completed by our confession...
