It Is Only When One Begins…

Visitors In The Skies – Photograph by Toni Roberts

to catch a vision beyond one’s own creature needs…preferences…ambitions...desires…and goals…

in other words…

when one’s concerns extend beyond me…me…me…

and one’s attention turns within…to seek something higher…something more meaningful…than…Self…

that one is finally ready to take…those first first baby steps toward Self-Knowledge…

towards WHOLENESS of BEING…

 

for the Ego cannot gain entry to the Higher Realms…

into the Sacred Knowledge of the who…what…and why…of human existence on planet earth…

so...

lift up your vision…seek higher than this human realm for understanding...

lift up your vision into the Higher Realms of Consciousness…reach higher…and even higher…

for the truth that lies beyond the limits of earthly concerns…

reach higher…

and 

still

higher…

Ase.

I Am Beginning To Realize…As In “Make Real…”

Golden Sunset – Photo by Toni Roberts

 

the many

rewards

of 

unquestioning

trusting

obedience

to a

mysterious

nameless

Inner Directive

that places one’s feet

   for one…

step by careful step

along paths both

known

and

   unknown…

The More I Venture…

Beam Me Down – Pencil Sketch/Photo by Toni Roberts

beyond

the

boundaries

of my

   humanity…

the

greater

my

freedom

to

do

   so…

We Are But Bit Players…

 

“The Land” Photo Six by Toni Roberts

 

in a

   major drama…

one far greater than that

unfolding

in

the

empty

space

between

our

two

   ears…

As I Sat In The Silence Today…

      as I sat listening within…

contemplating the new life that is about to enter the family…

so soon after the suicide of my beloved grandson…

   I heard these words:

“it is

BLOOD

and not the

CHURCH

or

STATE

that determines and defines what is

FAMILY

and the

“RIGHTNESS”

or

APPROPRIATENESS

   of relationships between and among humans…”

such is the strangeness that drifts into consciousness

when one’s mind sits idle and open…

such a re-making of one’s worldview…

such a re-seeing of reality

and

re-ordering

of one’s

cultural indoctrinations…

such strangeness

born of a mind and heart not engaged in the mindless madness of the world…

such an exquisite awareness of what is

REAL

and what is

   NOT…

Today I Listened Deeply

Healing Childhood Wounds; photo by Toni Roberts

 

I quieted the

   Inner chatter…

Shut down the

   Drunken-monkey-mind…

And using my

Heart

As a

Listening Apparatus

I tuned into the

Inner Silence

at the

Core of my Being

 

I am learning daily how to hear

   Truly…

  And thus become the

Human Receiver

   I

 Came

This

  Way

   To

         Be...
