Hello Happiness

Hello Happiness

Hello Happiness

It seems I found you in an impossible place

I searched far and wide…

Over mountains and streams

In and out of years

Across several decades

Feverishly chasing 10,000 things

Leaving me spent, tired and sad

I searched high and low…

And thought for a brief moment I found you

At the top of the ladder

Driving the most luxurious of cars

Living in the most expensive homes

Elusive you proved to be and slipped from my grasp

I was left holding disappointment, loneliness and lack.

I searched without…

In their compliments

In their approval

In their ever changing opinions

A mirage it turned out

Instead I found criticism, hurt and doubt.

I searched within

Diving deep into the depths of my soul

Swimming through the murk and mire

Drowning

Then settling

Sinking

Into

Stillness

There is sat for a good, long while

Making friends with regret, loneliness and loss

Doing nothing

Making friends with rage, hostility and hurt

Nothing was left undone

I made friends with all those parts of me I once denied

Until I was left with

I am

And that’s when I found You

You, who never left

You… forever by my side

In this present moment

Hello Happiness

Tending the Garden of NOW

Tending the Garden of NOW

Hey, God Spark! My most valuable treasure, you are.

  • You, made in the image of the Creator, are a little creator.
  • You, being fully aware, are here as a valiant explorer not a lost victim, because you wanted to experience Us – Unconditional Love.
  • You are here with a super power. That super power being your mind and it’s ability to create. You’ve always had it, always used it, you just haven’t been commanding it.
  • You have never left the safe Garden of Paradise that you were born into; you just jumped into the convincing dream of form… because you wanted to.
  • And now, hopefully, you are coming to realize that in the world of form there is no external judgment, and that you are completely safe.

There is only really you and Me. You really and truly feel separation but only because you jumped into the world of form knowing full well the ramifications of the leap. This was part of Our plan – yours and mine.
Did you know that at any moment you want, you can step out of the dream and wake up to the All Encompassing Truth?

You can and IN that moment of your choosing you will wake up at home in paradise with Me and you will realize you never left. You will be fully comforted and completely safe. Right Here, Right Now.

But you aren’t ready to wake up from the dream yet. You want to be here. You choose to be here.

You want to discover the Truth inside the dream of form, because that’s when the dream gets really fun!

Your garden is your life. It is yours and yours completely. It is your plot of ground that you have claimed for eternity. It is your piece of the Divine. Your garden is you, God Spark.

Your life is yours to tend. You get to choose the seeds you want to sow. You have complete dominion over your part of the dream. This is where I allowed you free will.

The seeds you plant in your garden are thought seeds. They spring up in your mind, and because you dwell in form when one thought seed is born, along with it is born its twin. It’s opposite. It’s balance.

You choose which thought seed you want to plant and which one you want to discard. So let’s say you have a thought “I want my life to be full of joy, living each moment to the fullest. Unencumbered by petty distractions, keeping my eyes fully on the prize. Understanding fully that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. It is here.” In that same instant this thought’s balance twin is born. “I’m not happy at all, life is so busy and hectic. I can’t even focus on what is in front of me because I am so distracted by all the overwhelming obstacles that life continues to throw across my path. I feel like my life is a living Hell.”

Depending on which thought you choose to feed, you will immediately begin to see signs that confirm whichever thought you choose, because that is the other super power of your brain. It will always set itself out to prove it is right. And do you know what? It always is… because the mind is the creator.

Are you tending your garden?

Which thoughts seeds do you choose to plant?

Which thoughts seeds do you continually feed and water by allowing your mind to dwell on them?

A good indicator for you is to look around you. What type of fruit is your life yielding to you right now? If you are reaping plentiful fruit, if you are full of joy and vibrant life, if you are teeming with happiness, then you can rest knowing that you are doing a great job of tending your garden. Even if, up to this point, you haven’t even consciously been doing so.

If, however, you find yourself in sticky situation after sticky situation, never confident that things are working out for you, wallowing in self-doubt and pity, upset with God because He just doesn’t seem to be doing His part, then I think it’s safe to say that perhaps you have not been choosing and nourishing good thought seeds. You are choosing to tend the thought seeds that do not serve you. But that’s ok. No worries! You didn’t show up to be perfect. You came to grow and experience. You came here forget, then remember, then blossom into the fullest most perfect expression of yourself.

You are here now. You are and always have been on the right path. You are and always have been divinely guided every step of the way. You are unlocking secrets and uncovering knowledge that will lead you back to the place you never left – your Eternal Heavenly Paradise, Home.

Who Told You?

Who Told You?

There is no time. Time is not real… it is simply part of the illusion. There is only an eternal right here, right now. Ever changing, yet always the same.

We planted the seed of separation knowing that eating its fruit would begin the timeline.

Out of the seed a magnificent tree grew and matured. It bore fruit and you finally decided to eat it. By the way, it was never “if you eat of the fruit…” it was “when you eat…”

In the instant you ate the fruit, I felt the separation as well. I was with, around and in you the entire time but you were cut off from Me. Eager for you to find Me, for there is nothing outside of Us, I called out “Where are you?”

You hid.

The hiding was an external expression of what had happened inwardly. Your mind had already compartmentalized the world around you. Some parts horrified you. You judged yourself quickly and thoroughly; you were no longer an authentic version of yourself. You couldn’t be. You could no longer genuinely express yourself nor could you allow yourself to just be… as you always were.

And so, you hid.

You desperately wanted to be what you now thought was good, and that thought created its opposite- the bad. Because in form there can not be one without the other.

The bad you denied.

Then, you hid even from you.

As you continued to cast judgment, you lied to yourself and quickly shifted the blame to something (the serpent) or someone (your counterpart) that you now considered outside of yourself.

Before separation there was no judgment, only unconditional Love, which allows everything to be as it is. This new experience was unbearable.

You hid, but My persistent calling out to you caused you to finally answer.

You said…

When I heard the sound of your voice I hid because I was naked.

God Spark, you were as you always were. Nothing had really changed… except you. My Love remains the same. Before the timeline began, you were transparent- physically, spiritually & mentally. Now you could no longer handle the transparency. You could no longer handle the all encompassing Truth.

So I asked you, and not to accuse but to get you to look inward.

Who told you?”

I wasn’t looking for an answer. It was my first invitation for you to remember why you ate the fruit. Who told you that you were naked? You did.

So God Spark, I ask you again now. Who told you that you are naked? Who told you that you are not good enough? Who told you that you are lacking? Who told you that you are lost? Who told you that you are powerless, mortal, and incomplete? Who told you that you are not worthy?

You told yourself. You continually tell yourself. You let your mind run wild with its never ending judgments. You judge yourself.

I never judge you.

There is no judgment outside of yourself. Judge not, lest you be judged is not a harsh command. It is a loving reminder. It means that when you judge, you judge only yourself. “For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”

There is no judgment outside of yourself.

The Garden of Eden

The Garden of Eden

Welcome to the Garden of Eden.

By the way, you never left; you were never kicked out.

You’ve always been here.

When you ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you ate the fruit of form. You ate the fruit that opened up your mind to the possibility of opposites which, by default, creates separation.

The world of form is defined by opposites. Or comparisons. There is only high because there is low. There is only beauty because there is ugly. There is only weak because there is strong. Is it not so?

Otherwise, everything would just be… and there would be nothing more to it.

Eating the fruit opened up your mind to the idea of separation, which allows you take part in Life. Comparison, the very thing that is necessary in order to experience form, is the origin of separation. It’s a defining line. This is me, and everything out there is something else. Otherwise, as it always has been and always will be, there is really only You or really only Me. And both of Us are one and the same.

The why… the reason you planted the seed and ate the fruit, as I mentioned earlier, was so that you could create a vehicle through which the possibility of experiencing unconditional Love – your true essence – was made manifest.

Now God Spark, I told you before, it is one thing to be love, which you are – always have been, always will be.

It is another thing entirely to experience it.

And eating the fruit of form did feel like a very real death. We talked about this before you ate the fruit, and not so that you wouldn’t eat it. You designed this… you planted the seed of separation so that you could eat its fruit.

We talked about the seeming separation, or death, that you would experience when you ate the fruit. We talked while we planted the seed together, so that you could figure it out, eventually.

Your ‘death’ was so intense for you. It was very painful. In an instant you felt completely betrayed by the Divine, by Love, by God, but you also felt you had brought it all on yourself, which you did.

Willingly. Knowingly. Intentionally.

Being the valiant explorer that you are, you courageously dove into the dream. Knowing you would be divinely guided through the entire experience. In your initial confusion you planted a thought seed in your mind, a skewed interpretation, in which you made yourself a guilty victim instead of a valiant explorer. You became deaf, dumb, blind and lost.

You felt deeply the separation, the lack, and the incompleteness. You created Hell.

The persistent illusion of form immediately began sowing its seeds of doubt, deceit, and deception. All the fruit needed to keep the dream convincingly real.

Eating the fruit began a timeline for you, causing your recounting of Creation to be completely distorted… There was no creation. You always were. There was only the beginning of the experience of form for you. This is why deep down you feel like everything around you will last forever, even though you see and experience that nothing lasts forever. Your senses convince you that forms come and go.

Most times your mind doubts your mortality; you have become so reliant on the physical senses. But at other times, when you are still and quiet, you tap into the present moment. You tap into Eternal Life. You tap into Unconditional Love and you remember on a deep subconscious level that you remain the same.

You are forever.

In the beginning… you never left the Garden of Eden. When you died to the Truth of Life and woke up in the dream of form, you felt like you had been banned from paradise because when you ate the fruit, your entire perception about reality completely changed.

Nothing really changed – only your idea about it, only your thoughts, changed.

You still live in eternal paradise. You still have your super power – your ability to create. You are still an eternal God Spark.

Those things will never change.

Hey, God Spark!

Hey, God Spark!

When I contemplate the newness of each passing moment, I am humbled by the majesty of it all. The all of life, the all of form, the all of this present moment that in each passing instant is born and then dies with no fuss, and no strife.

The present moment never asks to be noticed, it just is. It isn’t offended if you don’t recognize or acknowledge it, it just is. The present moment doesn’t care how you label it – bad, unbearable, horrible, great, fantastic, precious – it just is.

Regardless of how you perceive or interpret it… the present moment – just is.

And do you know what? It is GOOD.

Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very GOOD… Gen 1:31

What beautiful words. What a stunning secret. What an exquisite nugget of truth on your quest to seek out your most fulfilling life. A truth that softly guides you to a state of complete peace as you journey and explore how and what it means to become the most sincere, beautiful, and perfect expression of yourself.

A truth that attends you while you uncover your path to experience the highest, most fulfilling dwelling place this world of form has to offer – that of Love.

Love!

‘Let us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness;…’ So God created man in His own image; in the image of God he created him; male and female He created them. Genesis 1:26

Then out of the dust of the ground our form was fashioned, molded, handled – this part of creation was more than a word spoken. It was an action taken, in the very instant the Creator breathed into us.

What, exactly was breathed into us? A piece, a part of God. A Spark from the very Force that created the creation.

Life!

And then? There was you…

Hey God Spark!58E481B6-514A-4C53-A378-99C51F029F07

You are created in the image of the Creator. And guess what? It isn’t your physical form. God isn’t a physical form! God is Life. Life with a capital L. There is no man upstairs looking down on you waiting for you to screw up, just so he can condemn you to eternal and everlasting punishment. There is only a Creative Force.

There is only Life, an eternal loving Creator, moving through all things and in all things, making all things new in every new Now that in an instant is born and then dies with no fuss, and no strife.

God – Life – isn’t offended if you don’t recognize or acknowledge it, it just is. God doesn’t care how you label it – bad, unbearable, horrible, great fantastic, precious – it just is. Regardless of how you perceive and interpret God, it just is.

Life just is… and in each passing moment Life offers us a new and fresh start.

It extends a precious invitation to dwell here… in this moment.

What does it mean to be a God Spark?

You are Life! You are not some discarded, unwanted, worthless piece of trash. You are a valuable, loved, needed, wanted, adored, treasured ‘little’ creator exploring the world of form. And everything in this world of form is here for YOU!

It means that you are, in each and every moment, creating your reality.

Your mind is a powerful tool. The trouble is that up to this point you haven’t been using your most treasured asset, your mind, properly. All those thoughts swirling around in your head are making up your world.

There is One Thing that animates everything in your world. That One Thing is the Creator. AND… a Spark of that Creator dwells in you. That Spark is what animates you and gives you life. It is what allows you to participate in this fantastic, magical, precious, adventurous dance that we call life.

Being a God Spark means you are a creator. The question you need to ask is do you create consciously, fully aware in a world were you have found balance? Or do you create unconsciously, completely unaware in a world where you feel like a victim of all your outside circumstances. A victim of life, tossed to and fro, like a dead fallen leaf flung about by violent gusts of wind…
