A Time for Depth

Depth. How many of us live from our depth, from our essence? Truly ourselves, truly alive, spirit and matter fused?

Our depth scares the shit out of us. Who would we each be if we lived from our deepest knowing, our deepest seeing, our true self expressed - no fear, no shame, no smallness? Ditch the lies - the lies we tell ourselves in order to keep ourselves safe, keep the world in status quo that only seeks to buffer us from who we could be. From our power, our greatness, our bigness.

Yes, I have run from my depth. Wanted to hide it. Play small. Stay safe. No risk. Too easy to survive, too easy just to get by.

But there's too much to lose. We suffer when we hold back our gifts. Our truth. Our seeing. Our knowing. Our hearts. When we hide from God, we hide from ourselves, never knowing who we really are.

Who are you, really? What do you hide? From yourself? From others? Who would you be if you cut the bullshit? What do you really want? Diving beneath the surface. Risking everything for the sake of love, bringing more love into the world.

Tonight I sat with seven men, men with courage, men with heart. They have begun this journey to know and live from their depths. They have screamed, cried, shared. They have loved. I salute them. I give gratitude for them. There is hope.

There is hope.

Deep Surrender

"True strength lies not in the ability to persist, but to surrender."

Destiny. Heart's Desire. The Courage to Love. This is a time to surrender; surrender the ego, the things we think we want and need. Our souls are calling out, crying out to return home to the Beloved, to the pervasive Oneness that we ultimately cannot avoid.

Sure, we get to choose, but the deepest choice is to align with God, and this is where Love lies. The opening of the heart. Allowing the heartbreak, knowing that it will take us home. What does guidance tell you? What are you being shown?

I have been resisting my guidance. It doesn't make sense. It doesn't fit. "But what about what I (big capital I) want," my ego mind asks?

Well, sometimes the picture looks a bit different, at least on the surface. It differs from what God has in store for us. But isn't that the edge - trusting God more than we trust ourselves?

Deep down, I know. You know. Just listen. Because in the big picture, it IS what you truly want. Let it break you open. Fuck the "I deserves" and the "I'm worth its." Live deeper than that. Play a bigger game.

All it takes is to listen.

And trust.

And open.

Full Circle

The power of the circle. Ancient shape, evolution, advances forward into the heart of the new millennium. Round and round it spins, we spins, in the cosmic orbit that we inhabit moment-to-moment.

We forget the circle, deny it's power. Lines. Squares. Buildings. Edges. Fall of the edge of the Earth.

It is in the circle that we come home, unite with spirit. No beginning, no end. This is the Oneness. This is the surrender. Surrender to the all. That which has no beginning nor end.

We come together to sit in circle. Feel the energy build. Behold its power. Unity. Oneness. The one voice comes through. The one spirit moves through. It is done! It is so! It is! Let us rejoice together!

A Call

The call is upon us - do or die. Believe the hype or believe the higher power, the source, the divine call to stand up in truth.

Fuck the swine flu, the economy, the bailouts and bankruptcies, American Idol and Facebook quizzes. It's all a distraction; none of it will save you from yourself, from your fear, from your mortal terror of having to surrender your life over to God, to truth, to Oneness.

It is a time for simplicity, returning to source, to essence. Shoot some roots, deep down into the earth and stand tall, motherfuckers. It's not a time for playing small, playing games, or panicking. There's no time for that bullshit. Just let it go.

What's in your heart? What really matters? That's the call. That's the request. To truly know ourselves, our purpose, our being, our reasons, whatever they may be. To live as love.

We've distracted, numbed, avoided, run, hid, and fought all this shit for too long. All for what?

To avoid facing the truth of who we are.

Well, it's time to find out what we're really made of. Do or die. Keep playing the game or surrender.

What are you afraid of, really?
