The Size Of Your Cup:
Yesterday I heard an analogy used to explain how a person receives the Grace of the Beloved.
A waterfall was the divine flow, a cup was your consciousness, (identity of self in relationship to God or one can say ego).
The size of the cup you have reveals the measure of your consciousness, where others have bigger cups and maybe even have pails and also smaller cups?
Now take your cup and place it in the waterfall and fill it up with the Beloved flow of water and that is the measure of your abundance?
Now the idea is to always expand your consciousness which means replace the cup with a bigger cup so you can get a larger supply of the Beloved’s flow as a way to be in more flow?
Sounds good doesn’t it? It is a good description of the human mindset that hungers for what it cannot conceive of as its own True Nature.
Yet as the speaker spoke of replacing the cup with larger vessels, the congregation swooned at the possibilities of more to get.
Where the dreamers would grab a vat and the pessimists would be stuck with the same old cup.
In this, one can understand why the human experience can be so challenging, for I saw no one even considering throwing the cup away.
For they and the flow were never separate to begin with. Thus is the futility to catch whatever you can in a cup.
Such is the tricky silliness of the human mindset that must be in control of its own measure and ownership that only hinders its natural ways.
It gives a meaning of what a blockage is; A self-imposed rigid mindset, always trying to grab a bigger cup that never even contemplates that its cup is the very thing that has kept itself separate from the infinite Oneness of its own Natural ways.
If one wants to be in flow, why not toss the cup and step into the flow and allow it to bathe away any yearning of thirst and muddied up thoughts of separation?
As I took all this in, I could not help but think of the struggle one can impose on themselves and the history of how deaf they can become when they are questioned.
Yet such is the chosen perceived ways of the world that even though they must sip from cups, they are always the flow drinking from its Self.
Such are the fearful ways of self-doubt that will keep itself safe from perceived failures, to chase after only silver even though they will always get gold.
A song they sung as part of the theme called, “chasing silver when you know you will get gold”.
So they choose to drink only from a cup, for they unworthily fear the very essence of gold/flow they are.
I have stated this in the past to them, but they have chosen to take issue when it seems one is questioning their beliefs.
Such are the fragile mindsets that expect to get everything without ever seeing beyond their own seeming.
This is an irony of the mental approach of self-discovery, where being right is more important than listening to the singing about the infinitude of their Nature that is a never ending supply of more to reveal.
One of our divine experiences of expressing always in fresh and new ways, which by the way is our natural infinite creative abundance.
We should always strive to break free from the boundaries of a cup, for it will always have you chasing silver even though you are always gold.
Then you can see the infinite abundance that the Divine knows itself as the diversity of all that we experience in our lives.
For this diversity never separated us, it reveals our infinite abundance and not as differences such as levels of consciousness.
Thank You!

A Joke!

Another Revised Joke:
A little boy got a brand new shiny red wagon for his birthday.
This little boy was so elated with his new wagon, he couldn’t wait to give it a test drive even though the ground was still soaked from a storm that had passed through.
So outdoors he went full of pride as he strolled along the dirt road in front of his home with his wagon in tow.
Yet because of the rains, his red wagon got stuck in the mud and as hard as he tugged the mud held fast to his wagon.
This child like patience gave way to is temper and he started to curse the mud, then curse the wheels on the wagon.
A priest coming up the road heard this child yelling and carrying on and said to the child.
“Mind your words and temper boy, do you know God can hear you?” The boy said, “how can he?”
The priest said, “because God is everywhere”. The boy said, “is he here?” The priest said, “yes”.
Then the boy asked, “is he in my new red wagon?” And the priest said, “yes!” Then the boy said, “well then why doesn’t he get out and push!”
The priest said, “I will help you, but I better see you in church this Sunday to ask God forgiveness for all the cursing you were doing.”
The boy asked, “why do I have to go to church to ask God?” The priest said, “because that is where God lives”.
The boy said, “I thought you said God was everywhere, so why do I need to go to church?”
The priest being outwitted by the child could say nothing else.
The moral of this quirky joke is the truth you know is best served by your own actions and not what you impose on another.
For when you do, you can always get caught in your own words, especially from the innocence of babes that move Truth so gracefully and freely.
Let not your words be of what you rhetorically impose towards others, but be the verbal celebration and affirmation of all that you do, for that is true knowing of the Truth.

What Is The Divine That We Look For?
To search for the Beloved beyond where you are now will only affirm that you are separate from the Beloved’s ways.
So many on their spiritual quests intend to go inward so very deeply never realizing that this deepness is not to change realities.
This deepness is to realize what is always full and true as present everywhere.
An experience that is not of another place, but what is realized and known as everything.
True spiritual traveling is not of time and space, which means to go to another place beyond where you are now.
True discovery is of expanding awareness or one may say expanding our perceptional understanding of creation.
Your journey home required no great trek across great realms, this journey only needed you to see where you have always been.
No one truly goes to God, they notice God as always here, everywhere!

A Hindrance:
I’m going to say this even though it has caused frustration for some when I have shared it before.
To notice and experience the Divine Self is in Truth, simple and effortless to do!
I truly do understand the frustrations involved with the above statement, but please be open to consider another understanding of the simple and effortless.
Some will say it is hard to ‘Let Go’, for they have been trying to release many limitations for some time and they still resurface from time to time?
Consider that ‘Letting Go’, is to just allow yourself to flow uncontrolled by the human mind’s needs of unworthiness wanting to accomplish its worth.
Some will say the fearful experiences of dying as the dissolution of the small self occurs will stop them for they doubt themselves for taking the wrong path?
Yet please have Trust in yourself and please understand that the dissolution or death that is felt is only a fear and just allow it more freely and you will understand that you are not on a path of death but you are expanding, seeing yourself as much more.
Some will say it is hard to resolve their past for their efforts to erase it or free it has caused it to resurface and play itself out again?
Please consider that the past does not need to have some great understanding for its resolution.
For you were never of outcomes or endings, your nature is a constant creative flow and nothing in the past has ever truly hindered you, for you always moved past these things and you presence in this new moment has already revealed this to you.
Some will saying trying to be Divine and of goodness is hard to do, when there are others that will make you do things to protect yourself that is not of goodness?
Let not your mind’s judgments of what is divine be any measure of what is beyond mental understandings for the Beloved’s Nature is unfathomable in its infinitude, (constantly expressing as more in fresh and new ways).
It is the great efforts and the great trials and tests we have imposed on ourselves that is also our great hindrance.
For as we exude all that effort to be what we think the Divine should be, our flow is actually denying the very thing we have always been!
Our Natural Nature occurs as this Truth, We Are Whole and All One! And this Truth is over and above any other Truth, and reigns unchallenged for nothing can contest it.
Even as words it is clear and simple to understand, so allow this Truth to be your Truth.
There is no need to reconcile it, there is no need to analyze, judge and justify its meaning, it states it all simply.
So we just allow it more, then notice it, and if you only noticed yourself, then good for you and understand that noticing is accepting so allow you more, (Love).
If allowing you more expresses great inner experiences, notice it and attach no judgments of its worth for that will only engage the thinking analysis and the mind will re-engage its controls.
Just allow more, and stay in the opening without any need to be far away from your physical self.
Which means, please understand that duality experience and Divine experience is not of separate or different things, it is as the Truth, ‘One’!
To move it as different things is to judge what is Divine and the mind has re-usurped its controls.
Please understand that these wonderful inner experiences are only inspirational vehicles for you to just allow more and as you accept this Natural act they will only fall away as purpose served.
The question of your Divinity in Truth was only questioned by you and when you stop trying to be what you think you should be and just allow you to flow then you will know everything you will ever need to know and beyond.
Effortless! Stop trying to be what you think and just notice yourself and allow it to Be, and allow more.
If you still see the same? That is telling you that you are already Whole and One, so just allow and accept it more without a need to understand yourself as more.
It will reveal all this to you, not as some great epiphany or experience but as obvious and simple realizations, until you are looking at that simple person in your bathroom mirror and you have no doubt at all in its Great Divinity.
A new understanding of how the meek will inherit the Earth, because its Divinity was never in question, it was only denied/ignored.
So in a nutshell, with all the effort you feel you must exude to be Divine, be its irony and do nothing, stop trying to be and just allow you more, and you will Be what is natural for you to be, Whole and One with all things!
How many more vows of poverty from the great Saints that we revere as Divine.
They lived in rags and as beggars so that we can understand that we had to accomplish nothing to Know our Divine Nature, for we were and are always Whole and One! Thank You!
