It has been quite some time since I have last Blogged.
I have to say that the main reason why I began to Blog was principally to give my own life a sense of purpose. To commit myself to something worthwhile because essentially I felt that to be missing. So I yearned to find that in writing.
As I shifted my fears and engaged the presence of God/Spirit in life I have found a deepening sense of fulfilment and contentment.

The anxiousness, fears and drama that governs much of life we see in the world seem to be like the beads of water on a ducks back. I can watch and observe them. The complaining etc. is dissolving. Yet what changed? Of-course, I had in the past made the effort to engage this presence of God in life, but had not experienced a deep radical shift.

So, you might ask, what has changed?

I picked up the book on Abundance, a little humble book which I bought second hand for $2 which sat at my altar for a long time. I picked it up and felt inspired to begin the project of meditating for a minimum of 15 minutes everyday for a consecutive 40 days. Each day the project asks that you read an affirmation which basically goes like this;

“As the Universal force that supports me is Lavish Infinite Abundance,
I am replenished by this unending limitless energy. The Divine being that I am is my source and supply of all that sustains everything, including me.”

Anyone who wishes to pursue in earnest their deepest desires to live a life free of drama, restrictions, disharmony and struggle would find some measure of value in this. The book asks that we end seeking to find the measure of our wealth and prosperity in money. That we engage the experience of source as our true wealth. Our Divine being-ness within as the birthplace of all that moves to nourish our lives.

So sitting there, dissolving my sense of self into these prayers, these affirmations, I find myself bathed in a nurturing enlivening security that is not afforded by the traditional struggle to succeed in a world that is dominated by so called ‘progress’. keeping up with the Jones’s. And yet, I can enjoy the Abundance. To be in the world but not of it.

Be free, be creative, be peace

Now, and always….

Here is a poem that has been inspired by such a space as that i have shared here.
To Every Goddess…
To Anyone who has ever Loved…
This is for you

She swam
ever deeper
into being
into the light

She swam
I saw her
I did
she was naked

But it was
not an earthly body hers
hers was made of dreams
skin that glowed like stars

And so I swam
into the depths
the depths of being
…totally intoxicated

Her beauty
I drank in
her erotic dance
mesmerised me

And so I was lost
in that sea of being
that being-ness was like liquor
and I became the drunkard

Her body was like Gold
just to feel it against me I wished
onwards she reached
for the stars it seemed

I let go
I was free
I set her be
there in the sea

Onwards she reached
into the vastness
free
her heart like the wind

and when the sun was setting
I felt her breath
upon my back
her hair rippling across my chest

She had come back to me
through space and time
here she was
chosen to be with me

I cried tears
what joy, beauty and abundance
has brought this Angel
into my arms

I swear to God
the heavens have opened forth
it is raining flowering petals
the likes I have never known

I am filled with the scent
of this divine feminine
merging with the depths
of my sacred masculine

So the sun blazed
and sunk into the sea
fiery crimson
bathing eternity

Illumined stars
overflowing the cups
which had
forever longed for fulfilment

…now found within
