Holographic Dream

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...

Oh, These Precious Moments

My hope is built on nothing less Than Thy Beauteous, Lifegiving Light. Shams says, “This is enough.” Sign in to see full entry.

Five AM It is time for morning prayers. It is time for some silence. It is time to kneel before The Divine, Holy Presence. Creator’s Power is awesome and total. I am honored to bow before The Almighty. No higher state exists in this life. ***** To dwell in Holy Presence Is my singular goal this day. Yet, so often I forget, Seduced by my monkey mind.

All I Ask of You

All I Ask of You All I ask of You Is forever to remember me As loving you. There is no greater gift We can offer one another. ***** Sometimes our love is expressed As tolerance.

Cunning Yet Nieve

Cunning Yet Nieve This is what we chose. This what we wanted to bring to light. We needed one of us to step up, An innocent lamb, Cunning as a fox.

No reflection, no contemplation, But rather, uncensored monkey mind stuff. ***** We proved the ancient adage, “Be careful what you ask for.” ***** We have learned from our choices. We are ready to return to the values of Creator, Love, Harmony, and... Sign in to see full entry.
