Fear Leads to Narrow Thinking

Fear Leads to Narrow Thinking Beloveds, do you seek Truth? Do you seek the Real? Would you rise above the petty fears That divide and separate us? ***** Narrow mindedness is easy. The broader view takes courage. To look with compassion and understanding, To truly grok another’s take, To walk in shoes, not our own Until we understand, Just how another sees it; Takes love and generosity. Brothers, Sisters, Friends and Foes, Shams calls upon our holy hunger For Light and Joy, For the Peace that... Sign in to see full entry.

Who Do You Say that I Am?

Who Do You Say that I Am? Why did Jesus ask? Certainly, he needed no affirmation. Friend, Christ is still asking, “Who do you say that I am?” He asks for our sake. ***** Christ is within us, Our hope of Glory. What does that mean? It means we are each and all The annointed of God. God chose us to be here! And here is a little secret: We are One, One with Christ, One with each other. In this truth lies The foundation of creation, God’s Love. Hear, Oh Israel, The Lord is One.

Witness In Indifference

Witness In Indifference Step beyond your self. In serenity, observe. With no judgement, Watch the unfolding of your life. In unfettered amusement, Witness each moment as it is. ***** Relax, my Friend. This is a sermon to my self. This is to encourage The consciousness of the consciousness Of my being conscious. This is the only state In which, learning can occur. Would you escape The prison of your monkey mind? Make the leap to just beyond your self. From here, just watch it all unfold. *****...

Teach Us to Remember

Teach Us to Remember “Teach us to remember. And to Thy Grace surrender. Show us the way of love. Show us the way of light. Show us the way of truth.

Broken Hearted

Broken Hearted Marked by our moments Of broken heartedness. Never forget, My Friend, The light pours through the mended cracks Of our healed hearts. We cannot avoid life’s blows. Embrace the folly. Don’t you know That only Love exists? The rest is merely fear’s fantasy. Fear fails; Love prevails. Thank God, life is this way.

Trust Your Own Unknowing

Trust Your Own Unknowing It is no sin, Not to know. It is our natural state. We do have a choice, Give up knowing or give up self. Shams has tried both. Surrendering self leads to life. What is lost, shall be found. On every breath Let this small self dissolve In The Glory of God/dess. Shams says, “Against this drunkenness’, There is no law.” Sign in to see full entry.

Abusive Power

Abusive Power Have you ever abused power? Shams began in kindergarten. At a tender age, He became a thief. He learned pretense. He perfected the lie. Cutting corners, became his practice. Again and again, God called him to repentance. Time and again, He hid from His power abuse Became his shame. One day, he awoke. He listened when God spoke. In a moment of choice, He gave up power abuse For surrender to Love. Shams says, “I prefer this new me.” Sign in to see full entry.

There will never be an answer

There Will Never Be an Answer You will never find the answer you seek. It does not exist where you are looking. Don’t be like Nasruddin looking for his keys Out by the streetlight. The key to life Is hidden in the knowledge of Unity. Life’s answers will never be found In the world around us. There is but one place To find life’s answer. It lies within.
