“I have passed through fire and deep water, since we parted. I have forgotten much that I thought I knew, and learned again much that I had forgotten.” J.R.R. Tolkien, LOTR
No time to say, with AJJ, It depends.
I’m caught up in a dilemma
Not quite sure how to resolve.
I have a very full friends list
FB, twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn,
Bunch a blogs ‘n other stuff
Number exceeds 20,000
Not only that but the variety
Is most deliberate: all ages,
Races, levels of spiritual
So-called knowledge! From newbies
To gurus and back again,
If you know what I mean!
My hope, my dream, my heart’s delight
Is to alienate as few people as possible.
When those outside our sheltered
Internet world ask That Question:
“Are you a Christian”?
“It all depends on how one defines CHRISTIAN. If one is referring by that nomenclature to traditional doctrinal beliefs promulgated by a Western understanding of Holy Scriptures, then, NO, I AM not a “Christian.” However, if one means one’s belief in the Universality of the CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS which is one with LOVE being one’s natural and only state, then, YES, I AM a Christian and brother to CHRIST and a Son of My Father.” <3 ~PA~. Albert Joseph Jefferson
Sometimes they need a “Yes/No” answer
As in the case of a
Brief presentation.
There’s simply not the time
Nor space to say, with AJJ, It depends.
The MOTH vs. the SEPARATE SELF
The MOTH vs. the SEPARATE SELF
One was deemed real, but dies
as it approaches the Light.
The other never was real
so it leaves nothing to die
as it becomes overwhelmed.
The latter was imaginary
born of the ego or finite mind.
The latter is you and me
and our glorious love-laden
Christly imagination.
There is no death to a non-entity.
The ego gets seen through.
The person’s spiritual eyes open.
Seeing no one ever separated
From the Consciousness of God.
The ego is a non-entity
Good news! Good news!
The ego is not your enemy
to overcome in battle.
The ego is a non-entity,
a misapprehension,
having nothing to do with
“I” (God) who is really you!
Dwelling on the negative
is futility at its pristine best
futility born of pain and fear
unable to withstand any test
we open our eyes now and
begin to see I AM, God, is me.
Spiritual due diligence fantasy interview
I just had a fantasy interview in my mind. A big shot TV personality wants to question me:
BigShot: So, lemme see if I got this straight. Yer sayin’ . . .
theRobin: Lemme stop you right there. I DO NOT answer questions about Spirit in the material realm. I’ll give you three chances.
BigShot: Why don’t you …?
theRobin: Coz He ain’t there. Strike One.
BigShot: I thought you claimed …
theRobin: “I” didn’t “claim” anything. Strike Two.
BigShot: Wait a minute! I’m gonna mess up this whole interview just because I didn’t do a little due diligence. What can we tell our viewers that will open their eyes to the spiritual realm and enable them to glean its beneficence?
theRobin: YOU have just arrived!
Courage to forget
Isn’t it spiritually logical that
we should have the promises of God
and the abilities of Jesus?
What is there to stop us? Nothing.
OUR IDENTITY is God’s very BE-ing.
It really, really, REALLY
behooves us then
to let the whole world slip away
as we bask in the glow of
perfection everywhere.
See your true identity
without beginning, without end
loving everything and everyone
out of our own effervescing bounty
HAVE THE COURAGE TO FORGET.
Wrong foundation => lack of awareness
Our entire Western culture –
brilliant as it may be (sarcasm intended)
is founded upon the mistaken
assumption that our conscious
awareness starts and ends within
the confines of our bodies.
Everything we think and do
is but an extention of this
unfortunate false belief.
Praise God said the poet
Whose oneness knows no before
Nor after – unless ’tis He.
Give value to … above all else …
Worthy of our praise: Consciousness.
How long can we sit, looking down upon
The truest of wisdom of the ages?
Who is the ” I ” behind the observer,
the holy thinker, the infinite “Us”?
Point of view, they query,
Is One only – undefiled and true –
Knower and Known, Awareness
Not trapped inside the carnal.
But free within the parameters
Of the Eternal Now.
“Trying to grasp, handle, be boss” JM
I must confess I’m still trying to ‘grasp’ it at times and it’s always way too slippery to handle, but then ‘handle’ in this case means I’m still trying to be Boss and retain control.
This is reminding me more and more of when I was learning to ride a bicycle. Temporary success followed by repeated failure until one day I finally ‘got it’ and just simply glided away…

Keep affirming and affirming
I’m just a person – like you.
Listening to Spirit’s leading
Wanting all He’s given us
And willing to do my part.
I’ve prolly had ’bout erry kinda
Problem man is heir to
Then I began listening to my own
True self, free of fear ‘n doubt
Free of dualism too
No more Two Worlds for me.
Just gotta keep on affirming
The beautiful realm of God.
