Easter 2020

Easter 2020 Alone in isolation We pray for neighbors, all. “Who is my neighbor?” “WHO IS NOT?”, says Shams. ‘Does God not love us, To allow this plague Among us?’ “Oh Pilgrim, no need to question.” He sent His Son among us, A Savior of Redeeming Love. This Easter-tide whispers, “Beloved, turn within. Be still, and know that I am God/dess.” The Truth is All within. As Earth recovers From misguided greed, Take this moment, In social isolation, To breathe in full awareness, Thus find the welling... Sign in to see full entry.

Dystopia Reset

Dystopia Reset Beloved, has your world been up-ended? Have you accepted a dystopian view of what is? Have we lost sight of The Divine Hand. Recall the Hebrew ‘Year of Jubilee’, A reset of all debt to zero, A fallowing of fields. Fear not, fellow pilgrim on life’s puzzling ways. Even in pandemics, God/dess is in charge. Put on these spectacles So you can see the Oneness of it all. From this place, pandemics are not so frightening. Sit with me for a moment. Let’s look together for Creator’s...

Easter Alone?

Easter Alone? The Feast of the Unlevened Bread Celebrates the escape from Egypt by God’s chosen people, the Hebrews. Just so, does Passover Begin. Jesus chose this celebration of Passover to Reveal and fulfill his mission. He manifested an agonizing crucifixion And death upon a Roman cross. All this for a Glorious Resurrection. The King of Glory Has claimed his Righteous Throne. The whole creation rejoices To see the Son of Man ascend. But, what is this? Easter alone? Pandemic Pandemonium.... Sign in to see full entry.

Saved

Saved “Have you been saved?”, he queried, Drawing closer. “Saved from what”, I wondered. But aloud I returned, “Oh, many times.” It was the wrong answer In his mind world. “No, the Bible says You can only be saved once!” Again I pondered, “From what?” “Is it possible that we have the power To screw up what Creator made, And therefore require saving?” “Oh yes, we were born sinners.” “You mean we were created less than perfect?” “Well ….,” he hesitated. “Can anything that we could possibly create...

Blessed Are Those Who Can Laugh at Themselves

Blessed Are Those Who Can Laugh at Themselves My Dear Friend, Are you taking yourself too seriously? Laughter must not perish in pandemics. It can be unkind to laugh at others, But, to laugh at one’s self Is a gift of God/dess. Laughing at my folly Is a delight to my soul. How revealingly healthy, This mirth. Shams says, “i am a hoot!” Sign in to see full entry.

In the Beginning Was the …

In the Beginning Was the … Scripture has proclaimed it, The beginning was heralded by the Word. That, Dear Friend, is only half the truth. It was not merely the Word; That Word came with a melody. From the primordial drone of ‘Hu’, All physicality was born. Music is the essence of our Soul. Listen! If you quiet your inner chatter, You can hear the melody of Creation. Through Celestial Music, You have been formed. Take your place in the Divine Symphony. Next time we meet, Harmony will permeate... Sign in to see full entry.

We Have Nothing to Fear But …

Less Drama, More Rama

Less Drama, More Rama After some years of drama, he remembered Once again, “More Rama, less drama.” So this is a sermon Truly, to myself. More Ashk, less confusion The straight path, Quietly with Loving Service, Humble in the light of truth. Wakan Tanka, Estaughforallah, forgive me. I would serve only The Oneness, All else is folly, A waste of Life’s precious moments. Or is it? A spiritual seeker once asked a renowned guru, “What is the secret do life?” The guru responded, “To be perfect.” “How... Sign in to see full entry.

Truth Is Hidden in Simplicity

Truth Is Hidden in Simplicity 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 1st Corinthians 3:25 Shamsuddin is a fool for Christ’s sake.
