Let It Go

Let It Go Nothing, if not God/dess. There is only one thing of importance, The Living Presence of Life On every breath. To be conscious of That On every breath, in every moment, Is the only pursuit worthy of You/Us. Shams says, “I’ve said enough.” Share this: Sign in to see full entry.

In Christ There Is No East or West

In Christ There Is No East or West Paul said, “Christ within you, the Hope of Glory.” Shams asks, “Have you met The Christ?” In Christ there is no slave or free. In Him, no Jew or Greek. Oh Holy God/dess, Raise us above the distinctions and differences Which divide. ***** “Christ” is Greek for “Anointed”. Every creature is anointed. By The Almighty. Our anointing is the flowering Of The One. The secret of God Is hidden in the knowledge Of Unity. It is in plane sight Only when we turn within. Sign in to see full entry.

Lindsey Graham, Sad Example

Lindsey Graham, Sad Example “Use my words against me,” he said, As he denied a President his constitutional right To nominate a Supreme Court Justice. Well, Mr. Graham, I actually pray That the citizens of your State will do just that. You do not represent your constituents. May you be fired! ***** Liar, Liar, the truth on fire, May you be regulated to retirement. Love your grand children, And leave politics to the honest ones. We are not ready to give up integrity As a qualification for public... Sign in to see full entry.

Pandemic Healing Crisis

Pandemic Healing Crisis Here we are. Too many have died. Too many are suffering. Fear based divisions Have rendered representative democracy Impotent! Women and Men of good will Cringe in shame At our inhumanity to the least of these. Has The Great God abandoned us? Are we approaching Revelation’s end times? Have we traded the language of Love and Faith For the poetry of fear and doubt’s separation? ***** Friend, come closer. Listen to my sacred sigh, “Creator calls for light bearers Who have...

Bismillah Ar Rahman, Ar Rahim

Bismillah Ar Rahman, Ar Rahim We begin in the name of God Who is Mercy and Compassion. These are the very first words of the Koran. They affirm two important truths: There is nothing real that is not of God. And God’s very Nature is Mercy and Compassion. ***** Would you receive all the blessings of this day? Then learn to say, “Bismillah, Ar Rahman, Ar Rahim.” When to put your keys in the ignition; When you eat a meal; When you frst awaken; Acknowledge that all begins in Allah (Or whatever sound...

Life Can Kill You

Life Can Kill You Death is the tax we must pay When we buy a life. Or Is life the price we must pay To finally achieve our death. ***** And, honestly, Do only the good die young? Perhaps, good behavior Really does get you out this prison, early. Perhaps a daily contemplation Of your death Could provide Valuable practice. After much practice, Death Will become your Friend.

Sacred Sound

My Dad’s Bigger than Your Dad

My Dad’s Bigger than Your Dad Bullies exist. Life is not always easy. Fears appear real. Do not be distracted by this false evidence. Truth is One. Untruth is a hallucination.

Hope is born Of Love, above. Rise above difference and distinction To the Unity within. God/dess loves you Beyond and through all time. Shams... Sign in to see full entry.

Saint Paul: Christian Mystic

Saint Paul: Christian Mystic A Jewish Greek in a Romam world, Saul encountered the Living Lord. He became not a theologan, but, a mystic. He preached and wrote with the authority Of one who lived in Holy Presence. He had no need of well reasoned theology. No, for he had met the Christ On a dusty road to Damascus. So transformed was he, That only a new name would suffice. From zealot executioner To, perhaps, the greatest Christian Saint, This great shepherd of the early church Shaped our...
