LET'S CELEBRATE! 
 
Celebrate the way it is, 
That we are here now. 
Together so much can be. 
Let go of where we were, 
And what will be then. 
Tomorrow is another day. 
Now is the moment, 
Together we can share. 
How far can we go? 
Limits are to be broken, 
For freedom and love. 
Doors are to be opened, 
Flickers to be steadied. 
Nurture the light, 
And it will expand, 
Illuminate all around, 
Most of all the heart, 
Your heart and mine. 
That's what we have, 
And celebrate we are, 
Together in this moment, 
However close or far. 
Reach across the divide, 
For our hearts embrace. 
Sing a song of love, 
Happiness and joy. 
I missed you and love. 
Let's celebrate now! 

Are you with it — or not? Make up your mind and heart. Either do it, or don’t. You are going nowhere if you are in between. And still, in this world we are in between, no matter what, unless in the very moment. Consciousness transcends duality in the now.

Many offer keys with more or less self-glorification. After all, some motivation has to come into the picture for the self to focus its vision. But then when seeing clearly, will the view still be compatible with the framework? Are you willing to compromise, dive into the currents, and sufficiently let go of apparent contradictions in an imperfect construct? This is a substantial lesson for all. Will I pass or fail, when neither is more than an illusion of duality?

Black and white views miss colors and much of what is present. Still they do convey a picture too, which is infinitely more than no picture at all. Thus it helps to remember that everyone sees different colors individually for themselves — in the now.

So what's coming about,
when the pen is put to the empty page,
a brush of color to the blank canvas,
some voice and sound to the silence,
or consciousness to the moment?
Let's see!

Life is wonderful - a constant miracle
with all its challenges, surprises, lessons, and all.
At times, it may appear as a curse, then again a blessing.
Which way we see it makes all the difference -
how happy I am, what I can give to others,
the heart and consciousness of soul.

Is anyone looking or listening?
Does it matter at all, or make a difference?
Well, everything and everyone does, in their own way.
Each of us has their very own way and options,
even though in the end it's a choice of one,
the way it is in the moment, in the now.

The flow of life, love divine,
the river from the mountains to the sea.
We are climbing the mountain of God,
sailing the ocean of love and mercy.
We may plant flowers in our worlds 
and moments in the garden of God.

We'll also notice the flowers we trample.
Humanity can do a lot, an awful lot of that.
You and I are human and thus complicit,
whether we want it or not, we carry
the burden, the reality that results
from all we did, and do, and will do.

It's not the illusion of thinking that matters,
but the reality of being, of action and doing,
regardless if anyone is listening or looking,
or if anyone notices - except yourself!
In silence, the blank canvas, the moment of now, embrace
your voice and consciousness, we know by heart and soul.

When the light flickers…

When the light flickers, is it bursts of light or bursts of darkness? If it’s light around, then it would have to be bursts of darkness. However, that’s not how it works. Flickering is made by bursts of light; and the apparent bursts of darkness are the result of an absence of light. Darkness lacks substance. It is the absence of light. In itself it is nothing. It is helpful to remember this fundamental distinction and principle. This goes beyond the mere surface of this phenomenon, well beyond just physical light. This extends as far as duality can reach, throughout this world and related planes of existence.

Dark and negative has no substance.

The negative, like darkness, has no substance. It is the absence of the positive — nothing in itself. Substance is the positive, which comes from beyond duality, from soul — the heart of being, the divine. This furnishes the solution to problems and the issues of this world. Turn on your light! And then there is no more darkness. As it is with light and darkness, the positive dissolves the negative.

Let your light shine bright!

Let your light shine bright into every nook and cranny of your world and being. Then, there won’t be any more places for things to hide. This dissolves illusion and is a realization of self towards the divine. In the light, all is visible and can be worked on, especially what one may be rather reluctant to have anyone see, and what one tries to keep in the dark. However, the ones who are shining lights could see it all along. Because for them there is no darkness and no hiding.

How far do you dare to go?

How far do you dare to go in becoming a light in this world? To what extent are you willing to let go of illusion, of apparent darkness, the absence of light? Light can illuminate it all. Your attention and consciousness is a beam of light that can reach into any corner of existence when allowed to be used as such. It takes effort and resolve. But it does work, as individual and collective experience proves every day and every moment — right now!

Bias seems to be one of the most prevalent forces in humanity. We see things the way we want to. It’s like a spell, a curse or a blessing, depending on the situation. It can be like a form of hypnotism or even insanity. Then we need to balance in order to not get thrown by hits of reality, when reality gaps shift or cannot be held up any longer.

There is the truth of reality, and the illusion of human perception. This is the crux. Does one aim for truth, as relative as it may be; or does one play with perceptions and illusions without much concern about truth in a larger context than one’s own benefit — at the expense of others? Thus, a situation can clear up some. But many are blinded by charisma, by provocations, and by the duality in this world. We tend to see things slanted.

All the good in oneself, and all the bad in others? How could that be? Just as little as all the bad in oneself, and all the good in others. The balance point is both the good and the bad in oneself — and in all. How can one deal with that? Nurture the good and manage the negative, first and most of all in oneself! Actions speak clearly; while words so often try to paint things differently than they are. The relativity of views does color so many things. But there is a solid core, the truth of reality, action and reaction, fundamental laws of life and harmony. These can provide us anchors, not to get swept away by currents, winds, and storms.

Then at times we pull up anchors to explore new horizons and see who has the navigation skills to weather a storm without losing course. Whereto do we set our course? Towards truth or bias? How can we tell the difference, sort out the good and bad within ourselves? It’s not just black and white. There is a whole spectrum of colors. And everyone has their own individual taste and preferences. Where can we draw the line? For it appears at least at times that an anchor line is quite necessary. However, after all, we can see also this as a bias. It is our individual state of consciousness.
