Jesus Loves the Little Children

Jesus Loves the Little Children All the children of the world Bow down before The Almighty Creator of Heaven and Earth. We are all the living Beings of God, Learning to live in the harmony Of our common human family. ***** Jesus loves the little children Because God makes no junk. There are no throw away children. There is no one on the planet Who is not your sister or brother. Why does any human Go to bed hungry? Am I my Sister’s keeper? How long before awakening Is a human norm? Shams says,...

A Word to the Wise

Home Words of a Sermon that No One Will Hear: Contact A Word to the Wise Through the primordial vibrations Of Creator’s Love-sigh, Tat Sat came to be. ‘What is’, unfolding as Creator’s divine Caring, Becomes the only truth. Beyond words, But not beyond vibration, Truth lights the universe Like a billion, million suns. Rest easy, Friend, Knowing that only God’s reality exists. Shams says, “La ilaha IL Allah Hu.” Sign in to see full entry.

Be Still and Know That I Am God Rate This Those who wait upon the Lo

Be Still and Know That I Am God Those who wait upon the Lord Shall renew their strength. So the holy scriptures tell us. This waiting requires a quiet mind. Then, we shall rise up on the heart-wings Of detachment and compassion Until the distinctions and differences Dissolve like clouds in the sunlight of Unity. ***** In the sunlight, I see Your Face And I Am renewed. Is it the Light? Is it Your Face? I have no need To know. The Truth is soooo simple: I either know Your Presence Or not. I either... Sign in to see full entry.

Be Thou My Vision

Be Thou My Vision Be Thou my vision, Oh Lord of my life. Not be all else to me, Save that Thou art. I would choose to see Not but Tat Sat. Only the the Light within That forms from Thy Holy Love, Shall guide and direct me On the puzzling paths of life. ***** Be Thou my vision Oh Lord over all. Grant that Thy Will Becomes my desire. In Thee, oh Holy One Is Truth and Life, and Fullness Of Forgiving. Shams says, “A better way to live.” Sign in to see full entry.

When Love Called My Name

When Love Called My Name It is a fragile thread, That sustains all life. Now, It calls my name. Another breath flowing in Sustains my life, gives life within. Joins Life with life. What a slender chord Which unites us With the energy, chi of Life. One missing in-breath and we are gone, A vaporous memory of having lived. From breath to merciful breath. We go on. This breath is the only one of consequence. This moment, the only and eternal now. Rejoice, Dear Friend. By the Grace of God, we exist.... Sign in to see full entry.

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

These words, a sincere attempt To share the unfolding depths of God. Hu Hu Hu Allah Hu. Shams bowed before Thy Silent Majesty.

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. Thriving is the will of God/dess. Gratitude, its key. Join the brother/sister-hood. Receive the blessings of the sun. Walk through frear’s false facade. Courage is for the fearful. 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.
