Let Not:
Let not duality be the measure of all that is Divine, for when one entertains that perception, your judgments of the Divine will contest its opposing natures.
To fully understand the Beloved’s nature of oneness, we must rise above the need for goodness to prevail over the negativity.
We must end the search to find goodness in the things that are bad, for your value will only become challenged in small expectations.
Let what seems to be good and what seems to be bad to be as it is for all to know how they are always One Love expressing in fresh and new ways.
Allow your perceptions to be a vehicle to move the question within your heart.
How does this move as One? Then allow that answer to be your next movement.
For navigating your judged perceptions will only define why it must be only as it seems as a measure of duality.
Let not goodness be the condition to know you Divine Nature, for in Truth your nature never had the need to define its seeming creative outcomes as any measure of its Divine Worthiness!
The answers you seek lies not in any measures of duality such as goodness over evil.
It is so much more than that, so please let not the self imposed needs to define your value be cast aside to move and experience the Nature you are that is far beyond any defined creative action.
All My Love
Rob.

A Riddle:
How do you get a Lover to look flabbergasted?
Stand in front of him or her and ask them, “I’m looking for the Divine, can you show me it?”
Just in case your thinking the only answer is probably the Lover that is the Divine, then you will not get why the Lover got flabbergasted.
Here is a little hint, repeat after me, “I am Whole and One with God.”
Please repeat often until you understand why the Lover Got Flabbergasted!

Wisdom!
Expectation:
The paradox of our dreams or expectations to discover our True Nature, is that its creative action usually plays out as a need and as such a Self denial.
Such are the many puzzles that are ever so present in a duality life where separation has made thought and action as conflicting opposites.
Creating from a mindset of need or lack will usually erect many obstacles and challenges in trying to fulfill your expectations.
The power of all Faith truly flows as the awareness of Self, and this great creative genius of the Whole Self is always assured when the awareness build upon its True foundation which is Love.
Love Creating Love, to be more Love is the action that will appease all expectations.

Common Sense!
Notice Yourself:
One of the greatest paradoxes of Self-Realization, lies with our greatest vehicle of self-discovery which is yourself.
How do we Love that which we have viewed for so long as small, full of vanity, limited, etc.?
What expectations or conditions must be achieved before we will just Love ourselves a little bit more?
How many will we try to burden with our judgments to avoid the very thing we must notice foremost?
The very key to our discovery of our Divine Self lies not in our accomplishments, nor is it conditional on those we hold responsible for our short comings.
Every time we notice ourselves, accept who we are and then allow ourselves to move, our experience of the Self emerges more.
I can think of no greater stagnation of a person’s spiritual journey than the avoidance of noticing yourself.
Yet I can understand why some may choose avoidance and yet it is what is most needed.
To Love the Beloved without Loving yourself will not help you realize your True Nature.
To fully Love God you must also Love ‘YOU’, equally, for All Truth lies in the experience of our Oneness.
It can be amazing to see how many know this and yet their actions do the opposite, unnoticed by them because it has been obscured by clouds of judgments and justifications.

A Story!
The Dance Of Creation:
A young boy decided to go on an adventure in the field just outside his house.
Upon leaving his mother wanted to know where he was going and the little boy said, “I’m going on a great adventure to find a great secret of the universe.”
His mother replied, “oh my little explorer, well make sure you keep the house in sight so I can keep track of your journey too.”
The young boy smiled at his mother and grabbed his ball hat and ran out the door through the yard and into the field.
He looked back and saw his mom watching from the window and waved as one would, that would not be home for awhile, such is the imagination of a child that can travel across the world and never leave the yard.
The young boy saw a stone on the ground and turned it over and saw a worm underneath and asked, “Dear worm do you have secret?”
The worm squirmed around on the ground and the little boy mimicked the worm with excitement for he thought to himself of learning a great dance in a distant land.
Carefully returning the rock the boy continued on his little trek to a tree, where he saw a little bird hopping around the branches, and the little boy began hopping around like the bird and making little chirp sounds.
Again he looked to the ground and there he saw a grasshopper taking great jumps from one spot to another, and the little boy saw this and began taking leaps as high and far as he could in stride with the grasshopper.
Then all of a sudden he heard his mom singing and looked up and saw his mom hanging clothes out on the line and he waved again.
His mom seeing him waving, waved back and said to him to come back in for lunch, and the boy quickly stopped his journey and return backed to his mom.
Together they sat at the table enjoying a bowl of soup and the boy’s mother asked, “Well did you find a great secret of the universe?”
The boy excitedly said, “yes mom I did! The world is like you mommy, it sings all the time and everything dances to that song.”
The mother feeling so humbled with her little boy’s loving words, asked, “Why does everything dance?”
The little boy said, “because mom, the universe sings and we know we are never lost and we are always safe, that is why we always dance together.”
“You see the secret of the universe is, it sings and everything dances to it.”
Such is the wonder of life that can be savored in the innocence noticing little things.

A Revelation Of Enlightenment:
I chuckle as I write this for the joy noticing God or the opportunity of wisdom in a place where one may not of considered it before.
Such is the joyful zeal of the many simple creative opportunities to be played with all around us.
The Absolute Truth, (you are always Whole and One), as enlightenment is not that which is accomplished or earned, it is that which is realized!
The children's story of the ugly duckling comes to mind as a great opportunity to understand and accept this.
Consider a swan is born into a world of seemingly ducks and yet because this swan tries to be a duck, the other ducks mock him because he looks different from another duck.
Such is the challenging experience of Truth trying to be a lie, no matter how hard you try to be a duck, your continual motion of growth will always betray your false beliefs of self.
The swan’s neck will grow longer, it feathers will grow into a color unlike a duck, and still the swan will try even harder to be a duck and the other ducks will not reward his efforts much like his True Nature has betrayed him.
In the unworthiness of his failures of acting like a duck, he feels isolated until he finds an old woman, who says I’ll take you in and I will teach you what you are.
The old woman’s loving acceptance of this seemingly ugly duck; she tells this swan it is truly a beautiful bird.
The swan doesn’t really believe it and accepts it as just kind fluff, yet it is better than being called ugly all the time.
So it accepts the loving ways of the old woman and learns from her, she teaches him how to groom those odd colored feathers, how to swim and play in the water, how to lift his over-sized body out of the water and fly.
Then one morning upon opening his eyes he notices his reflection on the surface of the pond and sees this great majestic bird looking back at him.
So he goes to the lady and asks, “What have I become, I looks so wondrous?”
The lady says, “Well you have become what you have always been, you are a swan, and not a duck.”
“You were born a swan that tried to be a duck, dreamed of being a duck and as much as you tried to be a duck, the true you would reveal the true you more.”
Now it’s been many years since I read this fable to my daughter and so I’m taking probably quite of bit of literary license with it, but I think I have the just of it.
Now considering a little more deeper than the story’s moral intention of beauty is only skin deep with a happy ending, please consider this.
Your True Nature was always a beautiful and majestic swan and believing and trying to be a little duck with green and grey feathers will not make you the far greater bird you truly are.
You did not turn into a swan you always were a swan; “You are Whole and One”.
So set aside the dreams of being a pretty duck and allow your True Nature to reveal the wondrous swan you are!
Why struggle trying to be a duck when a beautiful swan is always expressing as more, (revealing itself).
This is why Self-Acceptance is so very important, it greatly eases the experiences of the creating swan creating its realization that it is a beautiful majestic bird.
Be innocent of any expectations of what the swan will look like and when you gaze into your reflection you will see a Nature of yourself beyond your wildest dreams.
With this a great revelation will occur as the reflection of your image now reflecting back on his life journey.
The swan will realize that it always was a swan and it challenges were because he was trying so hard to be what was not natural to him, the majestic bird he always was; His Whole Nature in a pond of many swans!

A Little Parable.
A Story Of Compassion:
Imagine Truth as the purest life giving water in existence that will quench any thirst regardless.
A Lover was out walking one day and came upon a young man coughing from a parched throat.
In the young mans hands is a bottle of vinegar, (untruth) and he cannot figure out how to open the bottle to drink from it.
So he asks the Lover if he could open the bottle because he is dying of thirst.
The Lover will tell him that what he wants to drink from may look like water but it’s vinegar, and it will only cause more thirst.
The Lover offers to take him to the well where the water is in unlimited supply and where thirst will no longer be experienced again.
Yet the young man shudders in horror because he feels the Lover is hurtful and has no compassion because the Lover will not assist him in drinking from a bottle of vinegar.
The young man will insist it is water and even demand and try to manipulate the Lover to assist him with every tool of their beliefs such as guilt, false pride, and so on.
Yet the Lover will not waver, for he understands the seduction of vinegar and how it can masquerade as water and do more harm than good.
Even though the young man will carry on with his antics of suffering and knowing the young man will complain to others of the lack of compassion, the Lover will still be unwavering for the Lover knows the beauty of highest good.
Please understand the Beloved celebrates uniqueness and will respect uniqueness, yet uniqueness insisting on drinking vinegar for a few seconds of relief, only to be followed by an even greater thirst will not helpful.
True Love will never sell anyone’s True Nature so cheaply as a few seconds of untruthful worthiness.
Yet if that is the choice of the young man, such is the nature of free will that will sometimes sell their soul to the devil for a nickel of vinegar so to speak.
Lovers can reveal all the properties of water, they can direct you to the well and how to draw from the well, yet it is you that must listen, get up and learn how to draw the water from the well.
Then you can always drink at your leisure and thirst no more.
What is the compassion of the Samaritan you seek?
Is it the one that will succumb to your labels of silliness and help you drink vinegar, or the one that will stand unwaveringly to provide you pure water?
Ironically understandable is it not, and yet a very tough choice for some because so much of their personal value was dependent on the vinegar being water.
Such are the proud walls that surrounds the ignorance that is so resigned to being thirsty, that it will place a false value on the intensity of their thirst.

A Twist On An Old Cliche:
Self-Discovery in some respects can be akin to not being able to see the forest for the trees.
Many journey their Spiritual path searching for a great forest, (enlightenment), where all knowledge of creation is known, suffering ceases and where death is entertained no more.
Yet travel as much and far as they may their panoramic vision of the landscape is forever obscured by one tree after another.
Only to come to resent the very things that they believe have obscured them from being able to see the right path to where this great Eden that awaits them at the end of the path.
They may even resent these great oaks in such a way that they may come to believe those trees are evil for blocking their ability to see there way.
Some may believe that those great oaks owe them their dreams of discovery for if it were not for the trees they would of been there already.
Yet fumble around as they may navigating around one tree after another searching aimlessly for an elusive clearing that will allow them to see that distant forest.
Ironically from time to time someone will pass by them and wish them a good day and say, “is not this forest truly wondrous, welcome home”, and they will look at that person wondering what is wrong with them.
So onward they continue their search, trying this way and that way, forever struggling with their perceived perpetual worthiness that is lost in a landscape of trees.
This Great Forest, (The Beloved), I think sometimes looks within its vast array of trees and sees his many Loves trying to find their way to the forest all around them and wonders what is all the silly fuss about.
“I adorned their life with a great forest because they wanted it and they say they cannot find what is all around them, I gave them all of my Self and they say they cannot find me”
So obviously simple are the realizations of of our True Nature and yet in a mindset of unworthiness they will refuse to even consider it and bombard the seeming forest with many justifications of how hard and complicated it is.
Such is the challenge of having to break the mindset of your own unworthiness that has found pride by propping up its wishful value and being resigned to Truth by navigating complicated untruths.
Realize the forest is all around you and be a peace in your worthiness that no longer needs pride to condone such aimless and challenging creative mindsets.
Talk and heed those that wish you a good day and says things like, “Welcome Home”.
All My Love
Rob.
