At the Doorway of Remembering

The following three questions are Portals for entering into deep conscious awakening. These questions can take you into the sacred territory that the mystical guides and sages throughout the ages and across all religions have called "awakening, radical transformation, enlightenment, born again" -- and what I call "the journey to remembering Who we really are"...

Simple though they may initially seem, these questions, if deeply engaged, are the gatekeepers to the vast terrain of inner awakening...

To what is your life consecrated?

What is your Soul's purpose?

What really matters?

Inquiry into these questions of what really matters is a Living Prayer. It is the focusing of attention at the root of existence. It is the question (or quest) that arises from the very depths of your Being, and as such, it reverberates through the Stillness of Creation where all things made manifest first live as potential. These deep existential questions open your life to revelation within the full Presence of Being. They are our redemption.

Truly, all movements in consciousness begin with the seed of intent (the intent of Soul not of "self" ). This is what I have come to call "Living Prayer." Through the seed of the Soul's intent and the mystery of Grace, are we awakened to the re-membering of who we really are.

"In the beginning was the word..."

This is living mysticism. This is the age-old journey of awakening. We are called beyond the box of self-identification (and the spiritual practices, techniques and methods that are so often mistreated and under-empowered within that clever self-containing universe of the ego/mind's making). We are called to something far more alive - vibrant. It requires a fundamental shift in perception - a shift in the seat of Presence. We are called to re-attune our hearing to the living pulsing music of the All Living Source.

We are each a part in a great Universal Story unfolding. It is the Story of Forgetting & Re-membering Who we really are, in what I call, the Great and Godly Game of Hide and Seek.

We are called to find ourselves (again and again - moment by moment) in the eternal dance of the Lover to the Beloved -- forever coming together and separating, forgetting and remembering in this great eternal breathing of God.

It is my intent that these pages, the presence expressed through sacred poetry and art, be in service to that which seeks to awaken in you at this time in your movement with living. ...And so do we each come to know and to claim our inheritance in the Fullness of Life for which we already live, move and have our True being....
