I give you my word and my Word gives you His- 2nd April 2010 Easter


My Life is as the Wind
As it passes over Earth,
Touching the faces of my beloved;
All around them,
Yet they do not see Me
But know My breath daily...

Air of air, Life of life, Light of light -
I am around you unto Eternity.

People ask, what rotates the World?
What moves the heart?
Is it Love or the blood?
I can tell you it is neither,
For what truly moves the heart -
Be it with a saint or be it with a villain -
Is Goodness alone.

Goodness infills the cavities of want,
And where there is wanting,
There I be.
For in Me there is supplication,
Constant remuneration
And continual salvation.

From me the four winds issue:
Of Knowledge, of Peace, of Striving and Grace.

It is asked, where does the World come from?
Is it from the Mind of the Divine?
Or from a corruption of matter into genius?
Or has it peeled time backwards
Perhaps to end as it had begun?

Yet time is not servitude to matter
Nor its commander;
Such worlds are as the cosmic dust,
That glitter the pavements of Heaven,
And are as many in number.

For all of the scores of souls and beings
That populate the Heavenly Graces
Within this whorl of Worlds and times,
Of past and now and so to come,
Are loved and saved, each one.

This World is no different in that
Its substance did come from
Same infinite source,
From which all worlds are drawn.

But time is no master,
And of itself creates nothing,
It only serves to debilitate;
It cannot create.

The origin of Life is Goodness,
And it is all around you.
Find it and you find also,
The answers to all questions.

There are no mysteries - only confusion.
There are no secrets, only exclusion.
There is nothing that cannot be known,
Should you become it yourself.

Our Heavenly home
Does not tithe the wisdoms,
But delivers them daily.

What of the Bloods and why?
Blood conveys life in a singular way.
It has helped to contain that part of a man
Which is unique to him.
We do not bleed in Heaven,
But wear ourselves on the outer side.


And what of the sexes?
Mothers and Fathers -
Not eagles and serpents.
Communion, not feasting;
A higher ordinance calls to the soul
To participate in the sumptuousness of knowing,
And from that becomes Creation.

Knowledge itself is not witless;
It has already a mind of its own.
Men are not exclusive to mind or its imports.
There is not one thing to be known
That has not already been known.
Christendom makes for an awkward franchise -
In service to its people
It can be gracious and healing;
Yet it can also be quick to bully
The very many who are
In most need of a gentle hand up.

Tyrannical rules of salvation
Preclude all true salvation.
For the holy meaning of its delivery,
Is through the sanctity of divine retribution
And forgiveness alone -
And is not in any way
Dependent or assured by a Papal official.

No man can fathom the heart of another
Or deliberate the justice of his term.
The very moment a sin has been entered into,
The heart of the man darkens for that time
And feels the pain of it upon him.

Truly this World is not as substantial,
As you or I would have it.
Yet what we began is circumspect;
It is a house without windows or walls,
Windows for which to see heaven,
Walls that define the very spaces within,
And then multiply increasingly
To the needs of the Earth.

There are two faces to suffering:
The unjust and the incomplete.
Sorrow has meaning,
Whereas cruelty is random
And almost impossible to make peace with;
Therein lies its infection.

For violence incurs the terrible storms,
And a tumult of irrationality manifest.
Jubilation becomes grief,
And we all sorrow
When an unkind thought
composes its malices.

Yet often such torrents of ill reckoning
Come from a deficit of gladness.
The insults of a blasphemy
Know nothing of a true gladness
Or its benefactorial merits.
The angry and abusive are sodden in want
Without the gratitude for that
For which they already have.

Gladness is the cream that sits atop
The sweet milk, not the sour.

Not all words can bring comfort and consolation temporarily,
And not all things of this World may also.
But at the closing of one's life,
And the beginning of the heavenly term,
It is all but washed away and given meaning.
That which causes suffering now vanishes,
Without a stain of even a remembrance,
And is resolved according to its first concern.

Robes are like uniforms,
And designed to hide a man
So that he becomes a face without a face.

Goodness is the ultimate chi,
And for those who do not live this,
They try to energize through other means,
Or people,
But to wit, die in trying.

Breathe goodness and you breathe life.
Gladness, Goodness and Grace - the treble gifts.
The health of the soul is paramount
To the future of Mankind.

This day of ghouls
Is a sad reminiscence.
Pity the ruthless
For they soon become toothless.

All Glory truly be to He,
From which all Truths were born,
And then to live and breathe as soul,
In myriad and manifest,
In places torn and houses blessed.

I give you my word and my Word gives you His,
And my vision of All as it dwells within Grace.
Feel its current,
See its being
In a constant reappearing,
In the wishing and the doing,
And the continual improving.
 Bless them All!

Let Thy Will be Done- 7th March 2010




TWO years before Time began, the days were created; and the breaking moment between existence and its motivated motion gave Time itself both momentum and the possibility of catch up... to be from that beginning moment onwards, 'out of synch' yet with a patterning and a precedence for back-changing, stopping, and the revision of what is to be.

All life manifests within the higher realms before the earthly worldly times embrace or follow these realities. Yet the World itself holds notions and actions of its very own which can be independent of the direct spiritual impulses. Both men and matter can move indiscriminately - even harmfully - and certainly (moreover) the freewill choices shuffle the boundaries of predestined happenings continuously.

Miracles and interventions are of the heavenly kind. This is not to say that a man, woman or child cannot of their own instigate a marvelous charity - oh yes, these choices and actions are real, deliberate and independent too. However the Graces of Divine Intervention are divine, i.e. the outcome hoped for has to occur within the spiritual blueprint firstly, and then into the worldly sphere incorporated within a certain time - for untoward rescues and turnarounds that are positive, are not effected solely within the earthly sphere.

Matter is responsive to Divinity's Will and to higher causal being - it is not responsive directly to even that of its own. Some science tends to assume that interactions of life occur in communication within singular planes, but this is not so.

Nor is it the case with people either. When individuals communicate from one to another meaningfully, it is not by the exchange of words alone but is manifesting over many higher planes above the physical conversation. There is literally an exchange of ideas and a conveyance of thought, and a sense of self and of angel and even of the very Presence of God, from one to another.

Not one thing is independently single layered. Referring to other planes of activity is essential to all action within life for even the simplest of transactions. And it is when an action becomes earthbound and renegade to this that there becomes a potentially devastating consequence to follow after. 'Other plane' referring does not have to be cyclical or predestined, but it needs to be discerned in accordance with so many otherwise varying factors.

To be in concert with higher wisdoms, determinings and considerations is not a matter of complicity or automation, it simply gives over the will of one into the consideration of many; and from this there will be a beneficial outcome.

It is both good and creative to hold personal hopes and ambitions, have wants and desires for all kinds of future events to come. But there also needs to be the attitude of spirit that, in a rather polite obeisance to the futures, exercises both patience and levity with a far broader perspective to our own personal requests.

At what point do we grow to become proper and worthy students of the higher path? It is precisely that point when we give over our personal desires into the higher considerations. We do not necessarily give up on them, just give them over. It is the exact and precise moment of realization that this world and the living beings and souls around me have their place, their needs and equal consideration.

As simple as this sounds, it is so often forgotten. Can you wait for your Mercedes until every last man and woman and child have full meals in their day? And if not, why not? Are you serious about effecting good work in the world? For in attitude it begins. One may not be particularly serious - one foot on the path and the other on the precipice - but this is not a journey, it is a nothing.

To mindfully pray "If it be Thy Will" before tasks and plannings, becomes a fine caveat for karma. It is not a renunciation of responsibility, yet in effect and by effect, it is. Our lives reform when this inner attitude is consciously deliberated.


At this point of development our egos are powerful; we might not all have a tremendous control or knowledge of their capability, but they are nonetheless very potent in their action. It is at this very point we learn to exercise the inner patience and converse in reverent consideration of the higher aspects of all that we do - to pause from our willing and be prepared to pause until such a time as the spiritual worlds can find a harmonious or beneficent time to manifest whatever it is we are trying to realize.

So much imagination is wasted by desirous or agitated projections that are willful. The very moment we give over these desires we are relieved of their energetic bearings and freed up to do what we can do in a day. The 'Universe' takes very seriously the souls who consult with an open heart and with consideration of others - obliged to circumstances.

At present this World is quite a magical place with vast and imposing limitations. It is still not easy to navigate or interpret, and there are many pioneer souls who are still mapping its ways, even whilst it ever reforms and changes also. It can be said that the conditions of living have wondrous moments - beautiful segments, pockets of happy times....but on the whole (and even for those how have developed and worked themselves far) it is still a terrain fraught with uncomfortable and perilous difficulties.

And so where would we be without the full blessing of higher guidance?
Should any man desire to go it alone and live by the standard "Do what thou wilt" - i.e. to suit only themselves and divine not the humors of the Heavens firstly - then it will be that they go throughout their lives without the full support that they could have been offered back.

If but for nothing else than practicality - if not for the affection of others, the compassion, the humanity, the charity, the moral duty, the receiving, the believing, the sheer relieving - if not for these but for nothing else than practicality, why not therefore live in consult with the wisdoms which incorporate the interests of all?
• Before our thinking: "Let Thy Will be done."
• Held before our wanting: "Let Thy Will be done."
• And before our choosing: "Let Thy Will be done."




And this is in cooperation (if not in deed but in heart) with the entire force of Life itself which seeks collaboration and duly awards he or she who bears this upon their breast and impresses the world with their sincerity, and from one to another do know each other as true brothers in this Community of the All.

You are but a student of one if you do not live by this standard. This is not to say that another individual or organization should dictate your doings and know above your own discernment as to what is required of you by God or by Heaven or for the betterment of all. It is not to forgo your own license to self but moreover to enhance such empowerment in refining both attitude and intuition to the spiritual frequencies.
By this we become more empathetic and sensitive to the conditions around us and informed of the realities about to prevail. Of ourselves no one man instigates the future - his decisions and actions can and do make small and great changes but when it is said: "Man ye are Gods" it could be better said:

"Man ye are Gods - among many Gods - enveloped and governed by The God, Our God, that contains us all."

The Death of a King- 22nd December 2009



WHAT is little known or remembered is the consequence which brought death to the visiting King the very night of the Child Christ's birth.

This old King had carried forth the gift of former impulses past - conceded now to the reign and manner of his Holy Superior.

It was as though a starlit planet had disappeared from the sky - even though all the talk was of new constellations to be revealed... and the old planet faded and was quick forgotten.

Who was this old King? And what did he represent in ages now given to veils? And why did he slip into fable, far from history’s reach? Emissary of the former Christ, beloved of the Ancient Realm, a sage whose life had spanned some hundreds of years, a master among men who had been both guardian and revealer of his time; yet he was not to live past the infant's coming, and bade not to see the tensions beyond.

Miramuse: the velvet gentleman. Velvet cloth, made from silk from the Orient, was available then - a bed of fine fibers like no other, that mimicked the weaving of pulled rugs in miniature grain - this cloth he wore, and it shimmered as he moved. He also had a private trade in the same, along with various exotic imports - so many exquisite high crafts of inlaid pearl, gold, metal smithing, strong yet light fine fabrics, animal husbandry producing curious pelts; marvelous tapestries depicting visions of sorts; dainty and salty foods which were pleasing and medicinal to take; remedies and tonics that were sweet but not corruptive; oils, fragrances and purgatives, sealed with wax and delivered in gold; manuscripts of secrets - as to the taming of beasts and the taming of man; recipes and instructions in simple key and script - so plain it was difficult to find the value therein; tools of Astronomy and Gastronomy; harbors with ships stocked in marvelous trade.

This was a finer time than is imagined today - one of subtle beauties and tastes that were rich and quick to fill senses, imagination and even soul, a period where there was a finery and grace depicted through the arts and sciences - in contrast to the violence about, which was not so much barbarous as it was pervertedly epicureal also - they found a hundred ways to kill a man as if this were an art form as well. 


'Modern man' of those days, considered himself at the apex of civilized behavior - and this attitude of mind and being was prevalent throughout every continent. 

At the time of the Christ Child's birth it was assumed that the standing of human civilization and development thereof, was almost, if not already, complete. Even certain trade relations were so amicable that the nations prided themselves on a sophistication that could take in the finer aspects of the other's culture in respect and beneficiary.

Whilst there were slaves and the military, the popular thought of this day was of the organization of this brute force ('brute' being meant literally) - which was again a matter of superior 'civilized' pride as well.

In many respects society had excelled in its thinking, its organizations, engineering, and peculiar fastidiousness - working with but raw materials, so to speak, being devoid of the old clairvoyance to guide it, and too young to fathom the electrical technologies to come - caught in a time of mediocrity of opportunity and trying to make the most of it.

You could purchase countless sweet cordials, each with a delicate and different flavor; but you could not see the mystery in the water, or the possible perils it could hold either.

'Decorum' was the word of that day; and with this emphasis of society came snobbery. Pure racism or religious bias is understandable - not condonable but quite natural to the unevolved. However snobbery is but a perverted value of self and self worth - it has no basis in real difference or concern. Although it may sound as trite as its bearers, it is in fact a very potent agent of evil, for it damages all parts of the individual who is supported by its frame.

Snobbery is literally a form of madness. Madness often comes of selfishness, and the assumptions of snobbery are both irrational and self-gratifying - an unfortunate spin-off from a 'discerning' society that has truly come so far with so little, in a world steeped in a materialism that is stifling the soul life. 

Amongst an orgy of one festival following another, their distraction from true faith and meaning meant that there had become a bacchanalian triumph - an attitude that even today from this, is so difficult to shift, as it migrated into the thought realm becoming a philosophy of material indulgence and superficial discrimination.

You see, whimsy preceded sophistication and came from a world that even predated romance. Whimsy is juvenile (in the real sense of the word, i.e. of Jove) being enthralled, joyful, excited in the collaborations of life - too captivated by pure love to be self serving, open and predisposed to almost any event that comes along, a time of noble ideals and concerns - an age to which we are only now returning.
What was to become the invisible planet still actually remains - yet not palpably so. Its influence does not infiltrate, its presence no longer permeates - a significant loss, a historical catalyst. It was the first rock at the mouth of the cavern-tomb - only that the rock was a planet removing itself, so that the light could infill the cavity within.

As with all else this planet and its presence was of Christ's own making firstly - rendered redundant through a complex necessity, deliberately disabled from its participation and contribution to this sphere.

This was a willingly given gift - a true act of self sacrifice and self denial for the betterment of this ornate World too immature for its offerings.

The very Gods seed and bead and embellish their creations; but not before they have animated them with a sturdy and pure life that is resilient to contamination.
Beware snobbery, for it has false attributes and brings nothing good.

This Christmas message has a theme to it of the gift of withdrawal - that of holding back and making way; of knowing when it is your time to speak or to be, and when it is not.

The rock had to roll for the light to come in.

The World shuddered and sighed - the birth was complete - the Christ Child had a mission to amalgamate a dismembered world and make it whole again.

Christ be my mind,
Christ be my eyes,
Christ be my hands,
Christ walk my legs,
Christ be my heart,
My heart be Thine,
Now and throughout,
All walks of time.

[How many Wise Men were there? The Gospel tells of three gifts and so we assume three. The ancient Nestorian teachings in the The Book of the Bee, state that there were twelve.

The three Magi visited when Jesus was a child, not a newborn. But did others visit at the time of the Birth? This is case with the old King, spoken of above. -Ed]

Love & Enduring Love- 8th November 2009


THE channels between humans open only when love is present, and remain locked to all else, in reality. An open channel requires love from both souls - it is not enough to have love from just one; and so it is that even love itself cannot coerce the flow-way to comply.

This tells us also something about the human ego and its presence of self, in that even love and the loving commute arises from an innate decision to do so - to be consent and predisposed to the love of another.

Yet there is fairness in this too, for we know that all beings are sovereign to themselves and protected from the outer influences of others, so that they may slowly build up that which they desire to become. If the reverse were true, the power of the love could become corrupt and demanding, in that he who loved the most would acquire an open door into the hearts and lives of everyone they chose.

Sometimes with an animal the latchkey of a fond and pure love will turn, and the beast itself acknowledges the life and soul of their human companion so cherished.


Romance today emphasizes the 'winning' of love between a man and a woman for a life or eternity; and the events that unfold around such unions are generally and fantastically haphazard and unpredictable. There may or may not be existing karma between the two, however the force of reasoning that magnetically compels this coupling could be from causes mundane to sublime - from the need of companionship to the Cherubim's promptings - and although such beginnings start energetically, they usually decline at some time earlier than first supposed or was hoped for. However, if true love had become present during any of the time they were together (and it seals in just a moment), it becomes enduring love for all time.

The true love, as qualified just earlier, requires the consent and openness of both the individuals to one another concurrently, thereby establishing an open channel for all times thereafter. With that open channel there literally becomes a living link to that soul wherever and however they be. Whether incarnate or disincarnate - whatever form they take - this loving flow-way connection is rapidly exchanging a commute.

Firstly we have our fellowship of Humanity and our common brotherhood with which we share this Kingdom. And in truth, for all of us present, we are so combined that the evolution of all, heaves and sighs in but one motion. And the condition of all is experienced in part by all.

This is not ordinarily a conscious relationship, but rather adopted within the fabric of our worldly and other-worldly life. Similarly also we have sub-groups in which there is a sharing - although not necessarily on a self-conscious basis either - through racial, religious, commercial or familial ties.


Then we have the handshake relationship - literally a combining where the individuals have met together during any lifetime and are thereafter enabled to find and recognize one another, regardless of form etc., but with a key that is made now between them. This key is created with a handshake literally - where the heart forces have combined through the palms to enable this.

What this key does is to bring back into contact those people we have shared past meetings with. If they are in proximity to us in any place or time, they are likely to be drawn back into our company. It is not so personal, nor consciously decided. Such keys can infill with mutual and shared experience - it does not have to be particularly loving, but may become because of common interests or concerns.

The next form of connection and attraction is the karmic compulsion whereby the relationship to one another may have been in another life - brief or long, informal or commercial - but whatever the case, it was unequal and there were karmic responsibilities still owing left over from this time. This attraction drives many folk to return into each other's sphere of activity until resolved.


The Christian principle of forgiveness puts peace to this compulsion - which proves to be of tremendous benefit both to the creditor and the World at large by its consequence. For unless the criminals, who in the past did you wrong, have reformed themselves and made better their characters, you may not want them continually turning up in your life to be given a chance to make good for the difficulties they have caused you in the past.

You see karma presents opportunity but does not compel action to the extent of forcing any one thing to happen. Some things may be easily rebalanced but not the willful intent or physical actions of another, for there needs to be a genuine reality to what is, and not just a pretence or play act of what should be.

We are never roboticly so motivated to play out the dictates of a karma due. The debtor needs to sincerely reconcile his past actions, not merely turn up on time to play out a role he has no heart in.

So you can see that over a relatively short period of say, twenty past lifetimes, you may have had ten where there has been a number of undesirable characters cause harm to you - either directly or indirectly - and possibly multiples of them during some episodes. Well if you accumulate the karmic debt it is possible for a good number of these fellows to re-enter your current life, driven by the push and the need to make good for what they have caused and aggrieved.

During this time a great many may have improved, however this kind of criminal does have a long way to climb ordinarily. It is very possible you simply do not want these folk back in your life at all. Under the new law of Forgiveness they are released from this most personal obligation but not released from their duty.

A lot of folk presume that all karmic debt is cancelled by forgiveness, but this is not the case - largely for the sake of the soul's learning and experience also. What this means is that the personal bonds have been dismissed yet the offending soul may have great opportunity within the larger and needing community to do a good work there. This has a double benefit because the good in the World increases thereby.

It is practical therefore to forgive, and release yourself from difficult ties and at the same time pass on a benefit to others along the way.

The next form of relationship is that of the enduring love - and this connection is first made real through the eyes - the simultaneous acceptance of the other into the spaces of their very soul, in mutual knowing and regard.

This love can come from romance but does not have to - it can be with parents and children, brothers and sisters, or stem from deep friendships; it has no relationship to gender or action, to karma or title, to obligation or owning.

Once this true love is established it is there to remain. And whether or not such souls are living presently within our lives, each man and woman has hundreds of such living relationships connected to their being.

This is vital to the life of the soul to have so. Without these channels connecting us, how very lonely an eternity of infinite possibility would become. These individuals are the true constant in our soul's lives and travels. They are our equals, our companions, trusted and beloved, with mutual cares, strivings and history. Our epic journeys are forever to conjoin, and the happiness of their presence gives us strength beyond measure.

One cannot synthetically produce such energetic love. A false guru or obsessed stalker cannot compel the yoke of the two by the want of the one. Nor can deceit, desire, or lust drive its happening - not governed by will or want or by correspondence alone either.

Yet once made, such true love enables each to share their experience and learning with profound complexity. The channels not only impart energetic love to one another throughout a vast yet intimate Cosmos, they also commute the enlightened exchange of each other's wisdoms gathered.This is the star ray that supports us all, the true networking, the very real connecting ever present in loving abide - that which was made so enduring.
