All is Welcome Here

Living in Love beyond Beliefs

Stairway To Heaven

We Share One Life, We Are One Life

* * *

Song by Snatam Kaur

And think not you can guide the course of love. For love, if it finds you worthy, shall guide your course.

*Kahlil Gibran

A trick of the mind is it turns spiritual realization into a project, a journey. The mind says, "You don't have it, so you must go get it." The mind turns every worthy realization into a goal, something to work at, to work toward, to labor to have. Do you think you really need to know something special and do something else to Be? Who told you this? Is it so?

*Arem Nahariim-Samadhi. May 22.2011.

There is a Temple
not made by hands.

Such a sanctuary lies Somewhere
beyond spiritual practice.

Not in a heaven, not in a hell,
not up, not down, not east, not west.

When my feet stand at the threshold of that Place
the mind drops its spiritual garb at the door.

Someone said, "Can I come in, my Lord?"
and the echo back cried out in ecstatic Love: "We are already One!"

Here, the saints of all faiths meet the Source
of every stream that speaks of religion.

Hug the moon, if you wish to stay close to reflected Light,
but I will step in Here and make love to the Sun.

Why caress the shadow
when I can fondle the Face?

Eat the grapes ~ indeed, they are tasty ~
but I will lose myself in the Wine.

I hear a whisper ...
"Hush! Arem, before you get in trouble, again, ..."

Those who dance only with form
will never dance with This that dances me!

A cloud just went by, I think I'll
ride it beyond where shining stars hint at the Way.

*Arem Nahariim-Samadhi. May 23, 2006.

Jesus is waiting....

*Yeshuah (Jesus)
